Florida State
College For
Women

The Florida State College for
Women has the unique distinction OF
being the only standard college in
America established and supported
by a state for the higher education
of women. In equipment and char

taking rank with the great endowed
colleges for women. In the reports
of the United States Commissioner
of Education. it is classed with the
comparatively small number Of stand
ard colleges and universities in the
South.
The growing attendance gives evi.
dence Of its increasing usefulness to
the state, and likewise of the in
creasing interest Of the people of the
state in their college. The following
record of attendance shows the
growth Of the institutiOn.

FINAL SHERIFF
 |S HAPPY AGAIN

Greatly relieved in the assurance that he is not an i'll man, but only over worked, Henry D. Hall, sheriff of Pinal county, was in Phoenix yesterday en- route to his home in Florence from Rochester, Minn., where he was in con- sultation with the famous Mayo brothers.
 Sheriff Hall, bidding fearful gOod-by to his relatives and many friends, de- parted from Florence for Rochester, a few days ago firm in the belief that he was a stricken man. The work of his office in connection with the draft had sapped his stamina and fastened upon him the teeth of innumerable maladies. His chances for returning, alive, were slim, he believed.
 At Rochester he was admitted to the office of Dr. Charles Mayo where he stated his case and awaited the terrible verdict. Dr. Charles diagnosed the desperate case. He surveyed and sounded the sheriff, looked, listened, pinched patted, pounded and pumped At the end of it all, Dr. Mayo slapped the sheriff on the back and said that he was entirely satisfied that he under stood the case thoroughly.
 You're a well man." he told the sheriff. There's not a thing the mat ter with you. Go home, and don't work so hard"
 Sheriff Hall said he was going to take up his duties where he left off. He declared he was better already.

UNIVERSITY GOES DOWN TO DEFEAT
 BEFORE PHOENIX

In one of the fastest games ever played on a local grid, the Phoenix High school football squad defeated the U. of A. freshmen by the score If 70 to yesterday.
 The scene of battle, although far from France presented almost the same spectacle and fully as many thrills as any battle of arms yet re- corded. With both teams pulling off clever plays right and left there was nothing much left for the rooters to do but to gasp and marvel.
 Marked by clean playing throughout both halves, the game provided spec tacle that was well worth the price of admission. It was deemed by all the most satisfactory of any game played this season. Even the defeated fresh men of the University of Arizona could not but admit that the game was a fair one and with no mean advan- tages. to either side.
 Gillen, the speedy halfback of the Phoenix team, was undoubtedly the in dividual star of the game. The man ner in which he intercepted forward pass of the opponents and gained 50 yards for 8 touch down was nothing short of amazing, and the cheers he received for his work shook the pie lures from the walls of nearby houses.
 In the first quarter the high school team scored two touch downs and kicked one goal within eleven minutes from the start of the game. Detweiler, with his usual speed crossed the line for a touchdown, and later kicked the goal. Then Gillen carried the ball across for another touchdown, making

 The next quarter was unkind to the Phoenix players and the University men scored. Verfurth scored touch down, but later failed to kick the goal.
 At the end of the first half the Coyote rooters assembled in force, girls as well as boys, and formed a serpent inc. The line of students marchng Tn close formation stretched for nearly two blocks, and wound all around the gridiron, telling the world thelr satls- faction as to the score as It then stood They then drew up into a great circle and were lead by Burt Doris in few snappy wells. The U of A. rooters. although few in number, made good showing and gave the bleachers a col lection of college yells.
 In the third quarter Giilen made his spectacular play of interfering with forward pass and running 50 yards to a touchdown.
 Then Captain Wilky by excellent headwork carried the ball across TOT a touchdown and wound up by kicking the goal and clinching the victory TOT the home team.
 The last quarter was marked by grim playing on both sides. Both sides resolved to keep tnelr oppolleillS No" II and succeeded. The game ended with rousing cheers for the defeated team' and a score of 20 to 6.
 The star of the Tucson team was their little quarter back. He probably did better playing and more of 1t than any of his teammates, He was knocked out several times but was gritty and stuck out the game.
 The stars of the Phoenix team were Gillen, Wilky Seaman and Detweiler:
 The next football game to be played in the vicinity will be the big game of the season with the Indians Thanks giving day, when the high school team will meet them to settle past scores and to prove their supremacy. The Coyotes are doubly anxious to beat the Indians to wipe away their defeat about month ago, and to teach the Indians not to root for the U. of A while they are playing P. H. $.

Especial Dispatch to west Virglnlanl
WASHINGTON, D. c. July 12.-
The advisory board Of the Council OF
National Defense and the various and
sundry committees and subcommittee
are asking that their powers be de-
fined, providing that they have any
powers. This was climax that was
bound to come.
The reason why 1t was bound to
come Is because of the high character
and abilities of the men who compose
the organization. They are the big
gest and brainiest men in business and
the Professions. They are used to do
ing big things in a big, brainy way;
cleaneut from the shoulder; and they
wont be anybody's rubber stamp"
To speak right out plainly, these men
have been on the job long enough to
see that the system under which they
have been working, or trying to, to
get things accomplished, is a system
under which the tail is wagging the
dog. The little wheels are all out in
front Unless, there is show down,
and that right soon, they will save their
self-respect by stepping down and out.
Here's the trouble. The Council of
National Defense, which is composed
of members of the Cabinet, is jealous
of its powers. 1t will not delegate any
of them nor surrender any Of them to
its advisory committee nor to any of
the subcommittee of that committee.
And these men positively will not long
er submit themselves to the embarrass-
ment Of going ahead and trying to do
things which are promptly frustrated
or undone by members Of the Council.
They didn't reach their high places of
expertness in their respective lines in
any such way as that,

squarely up to President Wilson. It

Councils advisors. The latter being
