The old-time idea of it
seemed to be that that was
the most successful creation
which used up the greatest
amount of a woman's time
at the slowest possible
rate.
About the same degree of
efficiency in that notion as
in Norah's suggestion as
to the fiy-paper. Fresh
from the Old Country, she
had never seen fly-paper
before, and she watched
with interest her mistress's
demonstration of the func-
tions of the sheet of it that
lay on the inside kitchen
window-sill.
"But, sure, mem, "she
exclaimed, wouldn't yez
catch more flies by putting
it outsider"
The modern woman has
things to do with her
leisure time beyond Moth
er's or Grandmother's ken
Red Cross meetings, can
ming bees, war work, and a
little more home work, now
there's a shortage of labor.
So that while she still
loves her quiet evening or
spare afternoon hour for
needlework, she wants it to
be the kind. that "gets her
somewhere"
I UST now she is most
J strongly interested in
materials and ideas for the
dainty handmade gift
which is so much appreciat-
ed at Christmas.
She is making them
earlier than usual, in ac-
cordance with the sugges-
tion of the National Gov
ernment to give Christmas
a "long start" to relieve
pressure on postal and
other transmitting service.
And in many cases she is
making with her own fair
hands the gifts that in pre-
war Christmases she was
wont to buy, in order to
save money for the Red
Cross or War Chest con-
tributions, or to take out
more bonds for the Fourth
Liberty Loan.
She can't give that even
general glance over her
shoulder round the Art
Needlework Store without
seeing how excellently it is
equipped to serve her.
Every pretty, dainty
thing in sight is an idea for
a gift-(for not one woman

he has been transferred.
Private Simmer was the sentry

"a menacing mob, after the

He deserves great credit for
his GOODNESS and readiness as
manifested on that occasion !;
and with the spirit he showed
there is reason for his friends
to feel that he will give a good
account of himself when he gets
on the firing line in France.
Sinner was also one of the

and undoubtedly one of the
strongest men they had. His
departure will make a big hole
in the aggregation.
During his stay in Camp

has made many warm friends,

Arizona State Bureau of Mines

The experience of Mr.. S. c.
Dickinson, Safety Engineer OF
the Arizona State Bureau OF
Mines in fighting fires will
form a part of a most interest
ing lecture course to be given
at Nogales on January IA, 15
md 16 at the Santa Cruz Club.
Mr.. Dickinson was in charge
of all the mine rescue work at
the big fire at Butte, Montana,
at which over one hundred were
killed and through the efforts
of the mine rescue crews many
were saved from death. In this
work he had about two hundred
rescue men working under his
direction.
He was at this time connected
with the u. S. Bureau of Mines
Rescue Car No. 5, which at the
time of the fire was several
hundred miles from Butte bur
all records were shattered in
reaching the fire zone.
This story will be told in some
detail before the high school
students when Mr.. Dickinson is
here with demonstrations of the
use of the machines. At the
evening lectures, mine rescue
work will be but one of many
subjects which will be heard and
seen for all the lectures are
illustrated by stereopticon and
moving pictures.
Mr.. Dickinson has recently
completed a sociological study
of industrial conditions of some
of the mining camps of the
state and his observations along
this line will undoubtedly give
the inspiration which will lead

border patrol, consisting OF
troopers from the Tenth Cavalry
and soldiers from the Thirty

of dozen, at point some three
miles inside of the international
line, encountered a large, well
mounted and well armed band
of Yaqui Indians, who had
crossed over from Sonora to
secure a quantity of ammuni-
tion which had been cached at
the place where they were
caught.
The cartridges had been put
up in small sacks, easily han

AS they were starting the

however. The fire was return

being killed, another fatally
wounded, so he died after
reaching the base hospital at
Nogales, where he was taken,
and several others were wound

Some of the Indians succeed

bending low upon the necks of
their fleeing horses; but the
bulk of the bunch surrendered
and were brought into camp.
Those captured are now in the
guard house. They are sixteen
