Holbrook Schools

School will begin Septem- Der 2nd. The first day will be taken up with teachers meetings and students are not required to report until Tuesday, Sept. 3rd, at 9 a. m., Monday being Labor Day.
 The attention of all par ents is called to the import ance of students beginning the term on time. A delay of a week or two generally means that the student re- mains behind in his studies throughout the year.
 It is desired to call the attention of the public to the fact that too much illit- eracy exists in many parts of Arizona, largely on ac- count of the number of inn migrants from other states and counties where compul- sorry education laws do not exist or are loosely enforced. This condition has become a matter of grave concern to the federal government, since illiterates are deficient as soldiers, Supt. Dolman will regard It as a favor to have reported to him any cases of children of school age, either boys or girls, being kept out of school without sufficient reason.

alton, practicability and cost are now
dominant factors in the determination
OF the extent and quality Of ones

Another Conservation Measure.
A wise person once said, There is
always a way" and Dame Fashion
found II by combining materials OF
silk with wool to reduce the quantity
Of the latter in a dress, TO its mini
mum. And promptly to the rescue
came the loose-nowing panels which
are developed in wooden material, with
the greater part Of the dress. the
waist, skirt, and sleeves developed IN
some silk or satin fabric. And, indeed
those panels are quite the most grace
full feature sanctioned by fashion. They
tend TO give long, slender lines to
those who have not that tendency In
their figures; in short they are an
ideal camouflage. The dress illustrat-
ed is developed in navy blue serge
with black satin; a combination OF
high esteem in the prevailing dictates
Of la mode.
Temperance OF Draped Skirts.
History repeats itself, and I'm sure
fashion does the same. For 10! the
draped skirt is with us again. The
smartest women in Paris feel increas-
ingly at home in this graceful adapt
alton OF the long, narrow, tapering
silhouette. Lucille is showing an ex-
ceptionally good-looking afternoon
dress in gray and red brown marqui-
settle, with a collar and vest OF white
organdie, and the skirt is draped up
tight on the left side. The peg-top is
another phase OF the draped skirt
which is being shown extensively just
now This particular style seems to
have saucy individuality about it
which sort of solicits then denes your
attention. Somehow one must be plq-
uant to wear 1t. A pleated panel OF
contrasting material at the front of
the skirt trims the peg-top dress IL
Illustrated, which is developed in satin
and Georgette.
An Indispensable Comfort.
When women found themselves
working In canteens and standing tho
most part OF the day, they Immediate
ly came 10 the conclusion that high
French heels we're not the last word
In comfort. So they wrapped up their
pride completely in their wiser judg-
ment, and betook upon themselves the
low military heels. These were found
so comfortable and desirable that their
adoption was instantaneous and per-
manent SO popular have they prove"
that one sees them exclusively for
street wear and even with afternoon
dresses with high heels making their
appearance only at some particular
occasion.

HEAVY TRAFFIC
Everything Possible Is Being
Done to Overcome Coal
Scarcity; Army at Work
By Associated Prcss

Reading, Jan. 31.-The anthracite
situation to-day is better than 1t has
been for week. The Reading Coal
and Iron Company loaded at the
mines yesterday 1850 cars and 700 of
these were hoisted over Mahanoy
Plane and brought in from the west
ern end of Schuylkill during last
night.
This morning there were 1000 cars
of coal this side of Broad Mountain.
at st. Clair and Cressona, TO be
moved. 1t IS expected that the great
er portion of this fuel will be enroute
before the close of the day. Yester-
day only about 600 cars were brought
down.
Working Hard
A large force of men is still cm-
ployed in removing the big snow
piles and clearing up the tracks.
More than 1000 men are engaged in
this work. The officials appreciate
the fact that anthracite is urgently
reeded and every available locomo-
tive, regardless of class, will be
pressed into service and, If nothing
happens, it is hoped to clear up all
of the coal now at st. Clair and Ches-
soma during the day.

FORM BIG POOL
TOSOLVE WARS
SHIP PROBLEMS
All Sea Traffic Will Be Con-
trolled by Board of
,&Y Three Men

Washington, Jan. 31.-Definite
steps were taken yesterday to solve
the problem of ship control in the
appointment of a shipping control
committee composed of p. A. S.
Franklin, president of the Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine Corpora
ton; 81. H. Raymond, president of
the American Steamship Company
and the Clyde and Mallory Lines and
Sir Cunnop Guthrie. British shipping
agent, who will act for the Allies.
The committe will have supreme
charge of operation of all ships
American, Allied neutral-entering
and leaving American ports.
This committee will divert any
and all shipping to whatever ports
are best able to handle it, but the
chief problem will be that of reliev-
ing congestion at New York
The appointment of the commit
tee grew out of an all-day confer
ence between shipping authorities of
the United States and the British
government
The only hitch that developed is
that the War Department did not
officially sanction the committee au-
thority, although it will cooperate
IN handling Its traffic.
The War Department is about the
biggest shipper in the United States,
and its present policies have con-
tributed greatly to port congestion.
Efforts will be made to secure full
approval of the War Department in
all measures devised by the ship
ping control committee, but, it was
pointed out, the various bureaus Of
the department handling shipping
may object to their plans being set
aside.
Boards Power Absolute
The new body will have absolute
power to divert any and all ship
ments of American exporters, and
through Sir Guthrie will be able to
divert Allied goods. The British gov
ernment has not officially sanctioned
the step, but as the plan announced
follows closely suggestions from Lon
don, no hitch is expected in that
quarter.
While the Army and Navy have
no direct representatives on the
committee, officials said that both
departments saw the need of CO.
ordination and had expressed them
selves as ready to fall into line to
accomplish it. The formation of con-
voys under the arrangement to ship
more goods out of southern ports
will be made somewhat more difficult
but no real obstacles, it was said,
will be offered.
The railroad administration has
agreed to cooperate in every way to
make the plant a success and will so
route freight as to get it quickly to
southern ports, Charleston and Sa-
vannah will be the ports through
which most of the freight diverted
from New York will be rnoyad All
cotton and other products coming
from the South will go largely
through these ports and no more will
be shipped to New York to be stored
until ship space can be obtained for
its transportation. Foodstuffs to a
large extent will be sent out of gulf
'ports.
