RAILROAD GATE IS
 ATTENDED BY GIRL
(New York Herald)

One of the fir girls in the United States to act as gate tender at a rail- road crossing is Miss Gladys MacDon- aid of Mechanic Falls, Me. A bright and attractive brunette, only 16 years old, she offered to take this position so that her brother George IS years old could enlist. He is now a sergeant and is W h the American troops in France.
 Her older brother is a lieutenant in Alaska and the husband of her married sister has also enlisted. A service flag containing three stars is waving in front of the Macdonald home.
 Miss Gladys not only tends the gates, but throws the mail bags on the trains and goes to the Maine Central station and takes and makes out the wire re- ports. In her spare time Miss Mac Donald knits for the Red Cross and her work she has always with her.
 Her uniform consists of a khaki blouse and skirt, high tan boots, long, heavy gloves and a spotless sailor cap. She is receiving the same pay that her brother did before he enlisted early in July

Get In Today

This is the day of the drive when special effort will be made'to bring the quota of Phoenix in the Thrift stamp and Baby Bond campaign beyond the Nigh mark set A great deal of good work has already been done by a few men and women, and the response of the public has been fairly generous. But believe there has not been that general out ward display of enthusiasm that should attend such important movements as this.
 All who could contribute to the Thrift fund have not yet done Many who expect to contribute put it off and doubtless will do something be- cause they think it is duty, because their neigh bors expect it of them because it is the thing that is benng done. They have yet come quite into the spirit of it. They have not caught the infection. That is what today's drive is for Why the process sions this morning and this evening are going to take place. The plan is to get the people out in great crowds along the street that the infection may the more readily be spread and become regular ep- demc of patriotism.
 The money is here and waiting in all from 25-cent pieces just the size to buy Thrift stamp, up the larger sums necessary to buy Baby bonds. Everything is ready except the all prevailing spirit the epidemic. We need a panic of patriotism. Turn out to the processions today and tonight get in and catch the infection. It will cost nothing It will save you much little, according to your holdings Every Thrift stamp buyer and every Baby bond holder will be better off when the war is over.

AVENUE
 STACKS BARRED

That there will be 10 more build ings of the character that now ap- pear on the Mosher property on North Central avenue, was a settled fact yesterday when Judge Lyman gave judgment to the defendant in the action brought by Mrs. Hattie Mosher to restrain the city of Phoenix and the city building inspector from in terferinS with the construction of automobile accessory shops such as now grace the citys principal ave nue.
 Last week Judge Lyman sustained the demurrer to the complaint and yesterday when counsel for the plain tiff announced that the complaint would not be amended. judgment was entered against the plaintiff.
 The shops on Central avenue have been the source of much controversy since the first shack" was con- structed. Lovers of the city beautiful and those who were not behind the aesthetic movement but had the wei fare of the city at heart. protested alike against the ''unsightly' build ings. The matter came before the city commission on various phases and in her recent action in the SUI ! perior court, Mrs. Mosher sought the right by law 10 continue the con- i struction of similar buildings to those | which are already erected

The Care of the Transient

We printing letter reader, a non resident who complains of the lack of hotel facilities in Phoenix this winter, the turning away of visitors late at night, and the difficulty mpossibity of finding -accommodations at lodging apartment houses. He suggests a relief an organization for the direction of these temporary homeless wanderers to private houses where there may be spare rooms. There doubt hundreds of such spare rooms in Phoenix into which the visitors would be received. and such organization would relieve much dis comfort
 But Phoenix needs something more than that. We need great deal more hotel room One of the large hotels by next winter will have greatly in- creased it's capacity but with that increase the hotel facilities of Phoenix will be far from adequate reXt fall and winter and every fall and winter thereafter the shortage of hotel will become more painful
 In the past hotel owners have hesitated to in their accommodations in winter for the that during the summer months they had much more than they needed. That, however, not the last summer and the summer before. Phoenix had become an all-season town. Business bring ing here at all tines of the year so that even in July and August the hotels were fairly well patronized.
 Phoenix is growing rapidly than at any time in its history. It is conservatvey estimated that it's population will be doubled in the next ten years The transient population of any place in creases much more rapidly than the permanent popu lation, that the demand for hotels and lodging houses will be greater than the demand for resi- dences as urgent that has been and unmet during the last year. The hotels and the better hotels the people will come
 The lodging houses, the apartment houses and the spare rooms however numerous they may be, do fill the bill. The transient does not them. He does not want to be put to the trouble of hunting them at night and he is not satisfied with them when he arrives. He wants a hotel and there is nothing to take it's place.
 He also a modern hotel with all it's venences and it's independence and its isolation, of a kind which the great modern hotel affords To him the lodging house large small. is another thing. Calling it hotel now does not make it one.
 The lodging house, of course has it's place for the accommodation of those who expect to remain for indefinite period and those who prefer another kind of isolation and who find in it.something of the atmosphere of the home.

WATER SUIT IS
 IN IN COURTS

Leon Bouvier. through his attorney Joseph $. Jencks. yesterday brought injunction proceedings against the New State canal company to prevent the defendant from restraining tho flow of water from its canal to his land.
 Bouvier claims that he is entitled to receive irrigation from the Salt River by virtue of an appropriation and use of such water upon the land and that the land had the use under an appropriation until 1917 He alleges that he has not forfeited the right by reason of non-use or otherwise
 It appears that the land now occupied by Bouvier was not being farmed when the company incorpor- ated. When Bouvier bought the prop erty he claims that he wanted 10 come. in on the same basis as other owners under the canal-at the rate of g. an acre. He charges that the price asked him was sf0 an acre He contends that he is entitled to water without having to buy stock at the advanced rate

FRENCH MOTOR CAR
 SOLD FOR $18,O0O

CNew York Herald Paris Ed)
 In an article dealing with the ex- traordinary increase in the price of motor cars the Paris Journal Excel sior says:
 Tn March, 1916, decree was issued prohibiting the importation of motor cars to France. A few days later the decree was modified, the importation was once more authorized, subject to certain conditions, but the import duties were increased by 70 per cent Since then, especially since the United States entered the war, the price of motor cars have shown considerable increase.
 The other day we read that 90,000 francs ($1S,00O had been paid for a Rolls-Royce with luxurious body and the very rare machines of this make are being offered at 10000 francs | ($22,000). These prices show an in- crease of 125 per cent cn the figures paid before the war.
 French makes have increased in the same proportion. The 1914 models, which at the outbreak of hostilities were sold freely for 5000 francs (s1,- | S00). are being offered today ac 1S,000 francs ($3,600); widely known makes of the same period now bring 10000 francs (sS,000) and 60,0O0 francs (s12,- 000). Only a small number of them remains; in few weeks they will be unobtainable

The Republican National Chairman

The withdrawal yesterday of John T. Adams of Iowa from the contest for the charmanship of the republican national committee is a fortunate outcome leaving the field clear to Will H Hays, republican state chairman of Indiana very strong and popular and whose leadership will attract both factions of the party The contest, trust, is the last between the two wings of the party in which the schsm began to make it's appearance nearly ten years ago.
 The two chief contestants for the chairmanship were typically representative of the two elements though in support of them of the "old guard" and the progressive leaders "crossed the suit" to expression in the ancient game of eucher
 MT. Adams of Iowa is a conservative of the con- servatives. He successfully managed the campaign in the primaries of the late Senator Allison against MT. Cummns in 1908. and in 1912 he had charge of the campaign of MT. Taft He was the Old Guard candidate the choice of Penrose and Crane. Yet he had the support of Senators Cummins and Kenyon of the progressive wing of the party.
 Mr. Hays has been identified with the progressive movement since it's beginning and is chairman of the state committee. He curously was SUD- ported by former Senator Hemenway of Indiana though standpatter of the most straitest sect" Whether these curious phenomena in Iowa and h. diana were evidences of loyalty to favorite or were evidences of a desire to put aspiring favorte sons out of the way for time, do not know.
 But generally conservatives were behind Adams and progressives behind Hays. On the result of the choice made at St Louis will. to a great extent de- pend the result of the fight in 1920 The contest in 1916 demonstrated very clearly that deciding ele- men of the republican party is progressive and that it will have progressyism if it has go outside the party in search of it. It the suspicion in the pro- gressve states of California, Kansas Ohio as well many others, that the national party was .nde the nominations of standpatters that lost those stat to the republicans.

U. s. FLAG FLIES ON
 ARCTIC SCHOOLS
CWorld's OutlOok)

In every Eskimo village of any inn portance in Arctic Alaska stands large frame school house. From flaepole near it United States flag is flying But the building, contrasting sharply with the low mounds which are really the native igloos, is more than an ordinary school house. It is in a very real sense a community center.
 The villagers gather in the school room on week days for instruction in the English language, manners and customs. On Sundays their simple re- ligious services are held in this same room On holidays they gather there for the feasts prepared for them by the teacher in charge or the missionary. There is also in the school house a room set apart, where the villagers may gather at any time of the day or even- ing to sit around the fire and smoke while they visit. At these informal gatherings everything is discussed from the teacher whose popularity depends to an appreciable extent upon the number of presents he hands out, to hunting, the weather, the white
 mans ships, etc.
 Is there illness in any igloo, the medi- cine chest in the "big house. is the
 first thing thought of, and to the. 'big house" the Eskimos come for aid, be il
 night or day. 1.
 If dog team is sighted, coming to-
 wards the village, messengers hurry to the "big house" to inform the teach CT of the coming of strangers" SC | that he may be prepared to receive 1 them.
 And so it goes The center of all ac- | tivity and thought and life in the vii lage is the red-roofed schoolhouse, ano the white man in charge Besides g | fairly well-equipped school room there | is a large store-room in the building

Where the. People
 May Have Hearing
Places for Visitors
The Editor Republican:

inc Editor Republican:
 Dear Sir:-Being a resident of one Of the best local hotels, I have noticed the large number of visitors who are turned away every night at about II o'clock because of the lack of accommodations.
 Many of these people are ill and weary after coming long distances on the train and it is a shame that they have to walk the streets of Phoenix at midnight because of the impos- sibility of finding rooms in the hotels and apartment houses.
 There are hundreds of homes in Phoenix that have a spare room and doubtlessly many would be glad for financial reasons Gf not from the hu- mane) to get in touch with the new arrivals and accommodate them by renting them rooms.
 Because there is no effort made by any organization in filling this want the. city of Phoenix is the loser. Many of these people would become perma- nent residents in this beautiful valley had any intelligent effort been put forth to locate them.

Horses Disappear

Santiago Modines lost two race horses when they disappeared from the Richard Gibbons pasture on Tues day night. Since one of the animals was raised on the place, Mr. Gibbons is of the opinion that they were stolen. A Valenzuelo reports the ols- appearance of a horse yesterday morning, together with bridle and saddle. He had tied the horse to fence at the Clemens ranch and coming back within an hour, found himself afoot.
