Break the engagement perma-
nently. You cannot love the boy as
you should or you would not think
of breaking yonr engagement. But
it is only natural that you should
want to enjoy yourself as much as
possible until the war is over If
your fiance is willing it would be all
right to go with the other boy with
out breaking your engagement and
far more honorable because the boy
would understand the situation ana
would not go with you with the
view of winning you.

I think 1t would be all right to
have the party on Sunday Some
peoples religious views would pre-
vent their doing so. If you think it
is all right and your guest does,
there is no reason why you should
not have it then.

But the war seems to have brought it.
 The war first did something else. It broke up socialism in America. It separated the constituent clements have described. The better class of socialists found that, faulty as our country might be, it was worth fighting for and dying for. The worst classes of socialists have been isolated We know where they are, what they are; and where to put them We know that they pitifuly few
 The war has done something else. We say that it has made any better at heart, but it made us wiset and cleared vision. We that the old things of which the better socialists pained cannot be resumed. We perceive that they do not pay. They were unjust Injustice is wrong and wrong must time be righted. We must resort to square dealing among ourselves
 This is really all that the better class of socialists asked for-that every should be afforded equal opportunity and should be treated according to his deserts. That will be justice and social jus tice is only justice after all. If we should neglect these things the war disclosed to us and go on in the same old way, would invite regroupng of all kinds of socialists and recurrence of disturb which would interfere with industry, perhaps. more seriously than They might take the form of sporadic revolutions which. of would be quickly put down. The turmoil might and then be quieted by party changes. but it would be ever recurrent That, think. is clearly and will be guarded against It will be unnecessary to make basic changes alter structural forms. We need only be square dealings with another; to assume no privilege which ought not to have and to deprive no of privilege that belongs to him.
 We need study theories to find out what should be done. There plainer direction than the Golden Rule.

TRAPPED BY FIRE
 THREE CELEBRANTS
 HAVE NARROW ESCAPE

Wrapped in the arms of Bacchus, three local residents, A. W. Murdock, Jack Maloney and Paddy Dalton had a narrow escape from death Christmas Eve when the furnishings of room in which they were sleeping caught afire. The men were gasping for breath in the smoke laden room, apparently power less to aid themselves when policeman Edwards broke in the door and rescued the trio.
 The incipient conflagration occurred in the rear of a small shoe shop, owned by Jack Lawrence at 13 Wall street The blaze, said to have originated in the bed clothing, is believed to have been caused by a lighted cigarette which one of the occupants was prob ably smoking when he dropped off to sleep.
 In the course of his rounds, Officer Edwards discovered smoke bursting out the crevices of the shop. Finding the place locked, he promptly broke in the door and discovered the plight Of the stupefied occupants whom he dragged out into the open air. The fire was eXtinguished before great damage was done though two Of the men were | burned slightly
 The three men were taken to police headquarters under d barrage of blank cts, having lost the major portion ol their clothing in the fire Here it was ascertained according to the police that their condition was due to potent liba- tions they had consumed earlier in the evening in an heroic endeavor to usher in the Yuletide in fitting and proper manner. They will be arraigned in the
 city court this afternoon.

LADIES! LOOK YOUNG.
 DARKEN CRAY HAIR
USE THE OLD-TlME SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR AND NOBODY
 WILL KNOW

Gray hair, however handsome. de- notes advancing age. We all know the advantages of a youthful appear ance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades turns gray and looks streaked, just a few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances it's appearance a hundredfold.
 Don't stay gray! Look young. Either prepare the recipe at home or get from any drug store a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound which is merely the old recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients. Thousands of folks recommend this ready-to-use prepAra- ton, because it darkens the hair beau tifully, besides, no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, its natural color is restored and it becomes thick. glossy and lus- trous, and you appear years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound is a delightful toilet requis.te 1 It is not intended for the cure, miti- gation or prevention of diseas Ally

Socialism

Most unhysterical thinking people will agree with Cardinal Gibbons that we of this country have noth- ing to fear from socialism Indeed what was bad in socialism is less of menace now than it was before the In the pre-war time socialism was congomerate To many it a fad. Young men fresh from the universities troubled with an overload of undigested political economy thought they were socialists. The world seemed wrong; it always does suffering of indigestion, either physical mental.
 There also the jawbone socialists not ill., meaning persons, but those who do their thinking own oratory their writings are intoxicants Then there were those with genuine grievances They knew, all knew, that many things in this world were wrong. They felt that the prescriptions of the socialists would relieve the woes which par icularly afflicted them. There other socialists men who attempted thinking without having learned to think And then. too, there the l. W. w.. the anarchists and the bolshevists.
 But that was not all of socialism in America. We have arranged this group merely to make clear what grotesque thing people were afraid of T thing calculated to evoke pity rather than appre tension. In certain conditions such group might become troublesome though never menace in such . country with it's sturdy hard headed cit- zenship It could have threatened the gov drnment. outbreaks at the worst could only have been sporadic.
 There still another element of socialism,

FEW AWARE 1T ASBESTOSM|NE
 NEAR PHOENIX
Deposits In Drainage Basin
 Abovve Roosevelt Dam Among Most Interesting In The World Says Record

There is an established and rapidly growing industry in this state, the identity of which few Arizonians are aware. Not many of the people of Phoenix even know that it is at their very doors Hundreds of people pass it every day, unaware of it's existence.
 It is described in the Reclamation Record by J. s. Diller of the geolog ical survey:
 The users of water from the irrigat ing canals that head in the Roosevelt reservoir of Arizona may be interested to know that the drainage basin of Salt River above the Roosevelt dam includes one of the most remarkably interesting asbestos deposits in the world. Like reclamation, the asbestos industry of Arizona has come to stay. Owing to the mode of occurrence the development of asbestos mines and factories will be slow, but of import ance to the whole country.
 Two Mines Working
 The accompanying map shows the approximate outlines of the area in which asbestos has been found by prospectors in the Roosevelt region,
  the known areas of it's occurrence. The Apache trail from Phoenix to Globe by the Roosevelt reservoir affords a dis tinct view of an asbestos mine operat- ed by the American Ores and Asbestos company near the summit of the Sier- ra Ancha mountains. The other. mine is operated by the Arizona Asbestos association south of Salt river on Ash creek, where a mill prepares the short CT fiber for market.
 The readers of the Reclamation Rec ord are generally well aware of the i'm portance of asbestos for high tempera ture packing in the construction of heat engines, especially gas engines, but the question is frequently asked, What is asbestos, how does it occur in nature, where does it come from, and how is it prepared for use in the important role it has to play in the service of mankind?
 Many Kinds of Fiber
 There are many kinds of natural fiber in common use; jute fiber for gunny bags, hemp fiber for cordage flax fiber for linen, wood fiber for pa . per. and cotton fiber for fabrics are al. structural clements in the vegetable 1 kingdom. In the animal kingdom there are wool fiber from sheep and silk fiber from worms, for clothing. Al these fibers however, both animal and vegetable, are of organic origin and composed larely of carbon and, there fore. easily burned.
 After describing the increasing uses and qualities of asbestos, Mr. DilleI syas: Tn asbestos veins such as oc- eur more or less abundantly in the as l bestos mines of Arizona, the fibers eX- 1 tending across the veins range 1T i length from one-sixteenth of an inch or less up to three or four inches Crude fiber, according to quality may l range in value from $200 to sl.200 . l ton. MT. Diller adds: The asbesto. mines of Arizona are of recent devel- 1 opment and bid fair with advancing
Arizona republican., 1918-12-26
to become a more important

industry.
 The article is accompanied by a map of the locality in which the asbestos mines are, views of the mines from distance and of their working and of the fiber which has been recovered.
