PRICE SLIPS ONE
 OVER 0N THE BOYS

Stanley Price. member of Central Fire company, slipped one over on his fellow fire fighters yesterday morning. when he took a special day off and entered the ranks of the benedicts. Miss Hilma Johnson. pretty young woman of Los Angeles, arrived here early yesterday morning and in less than an hour had changed her name and had promised to keep house for Price for the balance of his natural life.
 Of course everything had been planned between the two, but outside of Fire Chief Wright, who had to be taken into the plot in order to grant a day off to Price, and the attaches of the office of the clerk of the superior court. who were subsidized into keeping the issuance of the marriage license from the papers. none were aware that Price had any unusual intent. But just as soon as Rev. Ray c. Harker had pronounced the necessary service, the word was sent to the fire house.
 For the present Mir. and Mrs Price will make their home at BOA East Van Burcn street. The entire department yesterday was extending the young couple the best wishes for long and happy life.

CITY MOTHER |S
 PLAN APPROVED
 FUR THIS CITY

"A city mother rather than a woman probation officer is needed in Phoenix" said Mrs. Matte Williams yesterday when she denied the rumor that she was candidate for the latter position.
 Mrs. Williams advocates a plan that. if carried into effect, will remove the need for a probation officer and will tend to raise the moral standard of the city.
 T am sorry that my name was men toned in connection with probation work Mrs Williams declared. While I am willing to help any girl who has been unfortunate 1 have no desire to be connected with the juvenile court. believe that there is a much more satisfactory way of solving the girl problem
 There are many girls who for the sake of little amusement in their drab life becomes acquainted with anyone who offers diversion, says Mrs. Will jams. While the amusement may be perfectly proper. il may also lead to the marking the young woman a ward of the court. IL is to avoid just such cases as these that she would establish the city mother plan.
 Mrs. Williams has enough confidence in the girls of Phoenix to believe they would enjoy the rlght cort Of pleasures and that it is only because they have been derived of them that few have been guilty of being indiscret.
 She would not have any one woman serve as "city mother" but all women interested in civic affairs would be asked to alternate their services. She would have them become acquainted with the girls and supervise their amusements. She would have them plan social events and representatives of the city, county and state government would be asked to attend the affairs.

OFFICIALS THINK
 JAPAN T00 WISE
 ID INVADE COAST

Although high officials at the state house admit there may be something behind the claims of the Associated Press that Germany, Japan and Mex ico are planning to attack the United States, they all unite in expressing the opinion that the plan is more ephemeral than anything else.
 As one member of the state govern ment expressed it. and he is d man in position to know, as he has more or less dealings with the federal gov ernment, Japan cannot afford to break with the allies and side in with Ger many Japan is becoming rich at the present time on the profits of war ma terial being sold to the allies, he said
 If she breaks off with England, France and Russia it will ruin her commerce. and as soon as those countries have concluded with Germany, they will turn around and claw Japan up the back something terrible.
 Then, as to this contemplated plan of landing in Mexico and bringing troops north to attack Arizona, there is no reason why they should do so. If they want to invade the United States. all they have to do is land on the Pacific coast they can land within l5 miles of san Francisco without op- position. It will take Japanese trans ports just l5 days to make the trip from Nagasaki to San Francisco. We might have q few hundred thousand troops in the field by the time they were ready to land. but as for big guns. they might be missing
 The opinion was also expressed that the information contained in Thinner mann's note was given to President Wilson by Gen. Carranza, as an exhi- bition of good faith. By comparing dates. 1t seemed 10 indicate that the withdrawal of American troops from Mexico came about the same time the startling German information was sent to Washington.

IDLE BATTERIES
 DETERIORATE RAPIDLY

Never let a battery stand idle for any length of time. says the manager of the Electric Storage Battery and Ignition O.. as idle batteries tend to discharge themselves.
 During a discharge the battery plates become covered with lead sulphate and if allowed to stand in this condition the lead sulphate hardens causing what is known as "sulphating.''
 SuIphating can be remedied by con tinuous charging for a long period at low rate but will eventually result in greater or less loss of capacity.
 Take the battery to a good service station and let them care for it during it's period of disuse

Cousin Lucy" at the Elks discovered that a local audience could wax en- thusiastic when it has the worth while incentive and it is quite possible that more strenuous effort will be made next year to secure just such bookings
 Cousin Lucy is a delightful little comedy with a number of catchy mu- sical numbers. It has thread of a plot which has to do with series of epi- sodes in the life of young man who impersonates his cousin, woman, that he might collect his own life insurance. It affords Mir.

GIVEN
 RURAL CARRIER.

A long felt need for rural postal serv- ice in the vicinity of Peoria has re- gently been remedied by an order from the postoffice department at Washing ton for encouragement of rural routes out of the city.
 As the result of the recent rearrange- ment of routes. rural deliveries are now being made through the Peoria commu- nity. The route formerly known as Glendale Route No. ? has been trans fered to the Peoria district and is now known as Peoria R. F. D. No. 1.
 According to local postal authorities. the new arrangement will serve several hundred more persons that under the previous arrangement. All those per sons formerly served in the Glendale district will continue to receive rural delivery. while in addition all those in the Peoria district will he served.

NJ OBJECTIONS TO CLOSING THE
 CAPITOL DRIVE

In view of the fact that no objections have been filed with the state board of control against the proposed improve ment in the capitol grounds. it is thought that the board win take defi- nite action next week to eliminate the driveway from Seventeenth avenue and the parking space directly in front of the state house IL is rumored that members Of the board are unanimously in favor of the improvement
 When the improvement was first suggested it was thought that many persons would object to such a course as it has long been a custom for motor sts to park their machines directly in front of the capitol building. Such practice. not only detracts from the beauty of the building but adds an un canny appearance to the grounds, it is argued.
 Members of the board believe. how ever. that the time is now ripe for mak ing such an improvement Since work was started in paving Seventeenth ave nue. motorists have been prevented from entering the capitol grounds by that route. if being necessary to drive to either the north or south entrances. Tnasmuch as they have accustomed themselves to using the other entrances, it would be advisable to close the main entrance at this time
 The proposed improvement will in- volve the construction of a ten-foot concrete approach from Seventeenth avenue to the capitol, the seeding to grass of all that space now utilized as parking grounds and few other minor improvements.
 This work, 1t is believed, could be finished within few weeks at com parative little expense to the state.
