MISTRESS MARY" DOES
HER BIT


Mary Pickford in addition to
her many other duties has made
it her business to help win the
war.
She is raising a Red Cross
fund and is signing each receipt
for money turned in.
The value of a personal sigma
ture should be responsible for a
heavy response to Mary's call
for help and she hopes to raise
enough money to make many of
our soldiers comfortable.

NO SLACKERS AMONG
RAILROAD EMPLOYEES:
ALL READY TO HELP

New York. Dec. 29.-The vast indus
trial army behind the railroads stands
ready cheerfully to do its Bit for
Uncle Sans new railroad of America.
Not single degree of Stacking was
evident in the opinion of scores Of rep
resentative railroad workers inter-
viewed here today by the United Press
as to their opinion on what govern
ment operation of railroads means to
them. :.
Not only that, but there were many
engineers and firemen and conductors
and brak emen heretofore of the elite of
train operation on some of the luxuri-
Gus fast express trains. who accepted
cheerfully the prospect of going back
to locals" and even freights.
READY FOR ANY DUTY.
I'VE aren't slackers." said one griz-
zled engineer today, one of the New
York Centrals priced drivers of GER
tain luxurious express train.
"There'n be many a man like my
self, grown gray in railroad work, who
has for years been on a comfortable
passenger run who'll be suddenly shift
ed back to hauling freight.
But there'n be none of us who will
raise a murmur."
The United Press asked a veteran
conductor, employed for 81 years on
the New York Central, what he
thought.
"It SENS to be about the best thing
that could have happened to the rail-
roads," he replied. THE business of
big lines hogging 1t over little lines
will come to an end. It's an important
war measure. but the members of the
railroad brotherhoods, you'll find, will
favor outright government ownership.
"Old. capable, experienced railroad
men will be sure to resent the injec-
ton of political upstairs into their
ranks and into positions of authority
over them-for that will be the result
II the government comes into perma-
nent control of the ra 1roads.
GOOD SOLDIERS OF U. 8. A.
1.-THE government won't be long in
discovering the men who run the
trains are just as good and as valuable
soldiers of the U. S. A.. as the men
wearing the army uniform"
Watch this congestion fade away
was the prediction of a Pennsylvania
feright hand.
It's not likely our workll be any
harder than it is now" brakeman

spirit"

Neither Of the national guard divis-

sands of pieces of other equipment.
but both generals cheerfully asserted
they are giving their men real training
by letting a few at a time use what
equipment there Is.
Both emphasized the fact that a man
is not a soldier until he has made his
rifle part of him. by unremitting
practice in its use. But the men at

while 5114 of those at Doniphan can't

Both said the only reason they know
why they haven't been equipped is that
their divisions are national guard
units and the war department planned
to equip the national army men first.

ARIZONA AGENTS
 N. '. LIFE MEET

The New York Life insurance com pany was host yesterday to more than 40 agents of Arizona and New Mexico who gathered here for the annual roundup.
 The morning hours were devoted to an important bushes session, held in the spacious offices of the company in the Bake building. I. J. Johnson, agen- cy director gave an interesting and forcible address. cOngratulating the agents on their splendid work so far this year. The office allotment for this branch for the year is S3 100. GOO, but Mir. Johnson reported that S2460,0 000 had already been written and $2,O00,0 000 paid. It is believed that the Arizona branch will pay it's allotment by the first of July
 The Arizona branch has grown from q $1 900 0G9 to a S3,660000 branch in the past seven years.
 Hamilton Cooks. inspector of agen- cies for the southwestern department with headquarters at St. Louis, at tended the meeting and made the pEin- cipal address of the afternoon. A de- lightful luncheon was served at noon at the Rose Tree.
 MT Cooke congratulated the agents on their wonderful record and read a telegram from the home office which spoke of probable war conditions and it's effect on the life insurance business in general He informed the agents that the new war clause did not apply unless the insured went outside of the United States to fight within two years and then if the insured could not pay the extra premium demanded, his policy would be worth one-fifth of face value. He informed the agents that thousands of people are uninsured in the United States who will never go outside to fight and that he thought no one over g would he drafted. He encouraged the agents to keep up the good work until every anle-bodied married man had some insurance.

 No further evidence was offered in rebuttal of the testimony of the con- testee with reference to the precincts for the striking of whose returns q mo- tion by the contestee is pending. To that testimony reply has been made only in the cases of Cottonwood, Swan sea, Keohane Ranch, Eager and Miami No. 3. No rebuttal testimony has been offered in the case of Bisbee No where the Irregularities disclosed are regarded by the attorneys for the con testee as more numerous and fragrant than any other precinct investigated except Douglas No. l.

With the advent of electricity in tine kitchen the lahor of keeping house has grown less and less and as the latest aid in this direction comes the electric table invented by R. F. White of tie White Electrical Engineering company of 305 North Central avenue.
 This machine is a.out the size Of a kitchen table and when there is any work at all ,o.be done the table does it. All that is required of the modern housewife is a little human intelligence to boss the job and the table does the work, and is so much more Willine and efficient than the hired girl, too. The table is also a little bellboy and calls it's mistress for so many things that ali the worry is taken off the Wife's mind. When the eggs have boiled three min utes a call is sent in to it's mistress. Also twenty minutes for biscuits, fifty minutes for cake and in fact she can receive her call from one to sixty min utes ahead as she may wish. When the bread has risen to just the proper height the bell calls, also when the toast is done and many other little calls as she wishes them.

 In the afternoon the attorneys for the contestee took up the precincts which had been offered on account of dis crepancies between the poll lists and the count It turned out to be q rather important matter as the court observed, while under the spur of lack of time the work was being hurried. One thing brought out was that when the contest is all over, there will finger q doubt as to just what has been proved so far.
 For instance, two precincts were of fered, Arivaca and Prescott x. w Tue notes of the inspection Of these pre- cincts kept by the accountants for the Campbell side showed that in each ot them there was a ballot with the stub attached. Since the inspection. the ballots of both precincts had been counted one or more times; Arivaca precinct had been counted three times. When the packages were called for and opened, the stub attached ballots which
