The rooms are for the use Of every girl and woman in Phaenix, regardless of association member ship and it is hoped that they will be used to their utmost capacity, as rest and reading ranms and as gathering place for small groups. The rooms will be open at nine in the morning and win be open evening" as late as is any need for them.

COYOTES WILL PLAY COASTERS
 IN NEW YEARS

Phoenix high school will play San Diego on New Years day, either in San Diego or Phoenix, the place to be de- cided later.
 This was decided upon following the receipt of a telegram from the Califor- mia boys and a conference held at the local school yesterday, the outcome of which was that the Thanksgiving day game should not be considered the last game of the season. 1t was originally planned that the game with the Indians should bring to close the present football season. but the importance of the ensuing game, upon which depends the championship of the entire south west, was deemed sufficient cause to alter this arrangement
 At the conference yesterday were Prof F. Thane Cook principal of the high school; Captain WilkY of the football team, representing Coach Gsary; Athletic Director McEuen Coach Carpenter, of the basketball team, and Albert C. Pinney, who is promoting the contest
 San Diego is held to be champion of California, after it's defeat of Bakers field on Thanksgiving day. while Phoe- nix is Arizona champion for the fifth consecutive year The following tee- gram was received from San Diego last evening.

WARLIKE TUNE
 FOUND EVEN IN
 CHRISTMASLIST

Wars trademark is to be found on the Christmas of 1917.
 More useful gifts and fewer "fads" and ornaments are being bought by the early Christmas shoppers this year in Phoenix according Co the leading merchants and dealers in hoI- iday goods.
 The holiday trade is opening early. particularly in children's lines such as toys, juvenile books and clothing. While the war has had a marked ef- feet for the last three Christmas sea sons in the introduction of mechanical toys suggested by European warfare, small khaki soldier uniforms and d predominance of toy games, the en- trance of America into the war has had its chief effect in presents being manufactured and cnosen for grown ups.
 Soldiers kits and articles for the boys to fill them knitted supplies and huge cretonne bags 70 hold sweaters and mutflers in the progress of mak- ing, for the mothers and sisters at home stationery on which soldiers are expected tO write home and fancier stationery bearing military sounding trademarks for the home folks to use m writing to camps and trainns school addresses make up the bulk Of Christmas gifts bought by the early trade already orowdmg the stores.
 Less lewelrY is being bought than usual this year, 1t is stated, but that which is sold is of a better grade than in the past Although diamonds have increased l5 10 20 per cent since Christmas of 1916, the demand is as great as in former years. The almost prohihitive price of platinum, and the tact that the government has re- Quested jewellers not to push the trade in that commodity while it is needed tn the manufacture of ammunition. has reduced the demand for that metal lt is the greatly increased demand foi slyerware electrical goods and usefu gifts of all kinds that brings the hol- iday sales above normal.
