GRADO. Italy, July Ever since June.
1915. Grade has been occupied by the
italian navy. and today all those char
acteristics which showed the little sea-
port TO have belonged to Austria have
disappeared. This Venetian city Of some
5000 inhabitants lies out on a sand bank
wherein the Aoriatic pounds In long

where q rocky ridge must have reached
almost TO the surface Of the waters. In
the conflict BE =ssn sea and torrents the
latter were compelled to dump their tons
Of sediment. which in time formed the
bank whsreoe the city now stands.
Today the rivers are busy filling up
the lagoon S4hind working with untiring
zeal to extend the mainland. They have
still some four miles to go. which repre-
sents the average width of the lagoon.
Meanwhile. the lagoon is semi-salt
marsh. covered with water two or three
feet deep, but dotted with tiny islands
and sectioned by deep canals through
which rush the sharp but moderate tides

Here Italians Have Base.
The lagoon of Grade and the mouths
of the Isonzo are the scene of the mill
tary operations of the Italian marine.
The operations OF the navy around
Grade served as & hyphen linking the
aerial naval center at Venice with the
army on the Carso. Grade lies close to
Trieste and the Austrian coast. 1t is
from here that the small craft and

but there is q gulf Of difference fixed
between the way she did it in the civil
war and the way she's doing it in this
war. and on that very difference rests
the foundation for the historians great
story of woman's advancement between
the two great wars on this continent.
She 10 not morbid, and therefore she
will not ALLURE or eliminate the neces-

manner, and 1t will prevail until the
race Is extinct.

will see less of the present struggle In

And in that future there will be q
place for the woman in business and
the woman of affairs. for we are taking
part in all this battle through newer
methods than our ancestors. The WON

ers. They are not fighting from their
windows with belt buckles Of tremen-
dous size. as did the women in the bat
ties of the early centuries.
They are giving time. money, intel
ligence. organization and influence to
the task Of making this world as good
place to live in as 1t can be when half
the world is a battle-ground.
A Nations Growth Involved.
The historian. who. having finished
with the political reasons for the pres
ent war, looks with interest upon the
advancement Of women into public life
at this epoch, will find material worthy
of a brilliant pen.
No one has yet written Of that feeble
start made only two decades ago among
the women who wished to earn their
own living in this country. From that
lighting Of the candle the historian can
trace the path until 1t comes to the
present day and passes on into the brill
liant light of fulfillment.
In this invasion of women into civic
and business affairs there is wrapped
up nations growth and a whole CEN
fury of psychological and moral de-
velopment.
Two decades ago one did not speak Of
a woman who was in business with
any degree Of pride. The family made
excuses for her. Men wondered what
the sex was coming to and vowed that
such women could never be wives and
mothers. The proferssioks opened their
doors to women half way, and few were
paid the prices paid to men.
Contrast that beginning with the sit
uation before the war-thousands Of
women In the department shops. in all
the superior offices of the country, as
heads of magazines, richly paid report
ers on papers. dressmakers rolling in
fortunes. lawyers handling difficult
cases.
Then the war broke and the tidal
wave that washed up on the shores Of
society carried women to higher PIN
nacles than they had ever hoped to
reach in the affairs of a nation. None
were so rich. none 80 poor. none so con-
spicuous, none SO obscure but found a
way in which to serve the country.
Society is secondary. Clothes are
secondary. The professions. such a. the
stage, art and singing. are submerged
for time. Our women are not FORM
ing battalions Of death: they're form
ing. battalions Of life. They are aroused
to the uttermost depths of their age-old
instincts to preserve and to help.

No social function of the year has taxed decorators art to the extent that has the automobile show to be inaugurated this evening under the auspices of the Phoenix Gazette The tabernacle seemed hopeless-a great barren harm, until master decorator transformed 1t into wonderful show place. Certainly the settings are de- serving of the automobiles that will be exhibited-ears such as have never be- fore been shown in this city.
 Hundreds of yards of soft buntings in tones of delicate green and white have been festoOned to break the harsh lines of the building. The national flag is feature of the decorative scheme and drapes the hall most effectively. Palm elaves are used with telling re- suit here and there in the archways and in the different booths are potted plants and clusters Of glorious spring flowers.
 While special evening has been set for society night, so great is the inter est in the event that parties are being formed for every evening in the week Many will. of course wish to attend the opening which will follow the parade In addition to the talk by. Governor Thomas l.. Campbell there will be a program by the Ukelele quartet. tie Phoenix Four quartet and two special vaudeville acts.

CATE CUTTING ALLEGED TO bE
 DAMAGE. CAUSE

Alleging that il had been damaged in the sum of S13,000 by the cutting and of it's headgate, the New Dem dcta Canal company has instituted pro- ccedings against okla A. Noonan and John $. Anderson in that amount The plaintiff charges that the removal of the headgate caused the Gila river at various flood times to wash the em- hankments and fill the canal with silt.
 The complaint. filed by John Gust. further cites cause for damage in that the object and purpose for which the head gate was cut was to prevent the stockholders of the company from irri- sating their lands and causing them to lose their right to the property and give the defendants an opportunity to obtain the land.
 According to the complaint the plaintiff expended s20.00 for the con struction of the canal for the purpose of diverting water from the Gila river for irrigation. The canal was com uleted in 1914. The following year it is alleged that okla Noonan determined to Ret possession of the canal and pre- vent the stockholders from irrigating their lands. causing them to lose their right to acquire ownership. In purxn- ancc with this purpose it is alleged she made application to the United States government for d right of way for a canal to be known as Rock Is- land canal pAralleling the canal of thu plaintiff She employed Mr Anderson 10 supervise and carry on the work and

 The car in question although evi- dently not of this years model still presented an appearance which would lead one to believe that 1t was at least to be considered in the new ear class.
 Had you seen the car when we took il in you probably would not have offered us the price of gasoline for it, continued James. "Although it was in fairly good shape as regards the me- chanical part, hard usage had given the body most disreputable appear ance.
 Well we took 1t in and set the boys to work upon it. Tore verything out. thoroughly overhauled it. gave it coat of paint and there it is. almost as good as new. What we can't do to a used car once we start on it. can't be done" concluded James
