care for thirty children ranging in ages from three months to twelve years.
 The Home is located within a block of the public school All of our chill dren of school age attend this school. We have large grounds in connection with our Home which furnishes ample playground and small gardens culti- vated by the boys in our Home. A visit to the Home will convince any one that the children are well fed, dressed prop erly, kept clean, and are as happy as children in our private homes. There has been practically no sickness in the Home during the winter, in spite of the fact that there has been more sickness than usual among other children in Tucson.
 Gifts in money. clothing, bedding, and food, have come in sufficient amounts to enable us to care for the children.
 All bills are paid up to date. It costs over $500.0O per month to keep these bills paid up. Some of the prin- ciple items are: Three matrons, $135.00 rent of building, 5000; milk, $65.00 groceries, $120.00; fuel, s3O.00; salary of superintendent, S7500; pos tage, printing and office work, about S30.00. Other smaller items such as School books, medicine, and clothing varies quite bit each month. | May l say in conclusion that we req l liZe that our Home is not up to the standard of older institutions in other states, but that we are doing the very | best we can and it is my personal con- viction that a marvellous work has been achieved under the adverse circum- stances Certainly no women in the entire state are putting the time and | thought into any institution that the good women of Tucson interested in this Home are putting into it week by week. 1 do not believe that there is a member of this club, but would be de- lighted with what is being accom- monthly meeting of the board and lis ten to the reports and discussions of the months work. We thank you for what you have done and we trust that you will continue your interest and CO., operation. The Home is wide open day and night to any one who cares to visit or investigate We will welcome any suggestions for the betterment of the Home and we believe it is the duty of any one who has had experience and who feels an interest in the Home to bring to us their ideas in a friendly spirit Trusting this statement may be received in the spirit intended and wishing you we'll in your club activi- ties, l am

other road and bridge work.

Chiefly because it fears a tragedy will be enacted if the bridge acrss the Arizona canal at the end of North Gen. tral avenue is not put in repair the county will take this work in hand. although the bridge is owned by pri- vate parties. Engineer Bargman gives the warning that motorists travel across the bridge at their own risk. It has been barricaded in the past but apparently the public pays little atten- tion to the danger signs, declare Barg- man, who advises that no one travel across it until it is remodeled the first of the week.

COUNTY ROADS
 REPAIRING LIN

To complete the trunk line service between Phoenix and the Southside, H. M. Bargman, county engineer, has issued the order that his men start breaking ground from the city limits to the Salt River bridge on South Gen. tral avenue today With the recon struction of the two miles to be. re- paired the last link in the base line road running parallel to the Salt River Mountain range will be completed. This will give high road connection between Phoenix and Chandler.
 While the road is being put in shape traffic will not be disturbed, according to the engineer. While the improve ment work is in progress the road will continue in use, he says.
 The Roosevelt road from the east canal to the county line will be com- pleted by the first of the month and the county will turn it's attention to

MISS CLEVELAND
 GETS NEW PLACE

Resigning her position as an assls- tant attorney general in order to be of more service to the people, Miss Louise Cleveland has joined the state house family as secretary in the department of vocational education.
 Miss Cleveland believes that the big work today lies in educating the boys and girls for useful citizenship. Now, more than at any time in the history of the country, should youth be taught in the worth while, practical things, says the clever young woman, who through her new work will get in close touch with men and women of the fu- ture.
 After the war, perhaps, she will re- turn to her law practice but at the present time she sees greater possibil- ities for doing good in vocational en- deavor. A graduate of the University of California, Miss Cleveland has had eX- perience in thef work with which she is now identified. She was connected with the university extension division of the university from which she was grad uated, her territory being San Fran cisco and Oakland. She has also been member of high school faculty.

of the clerk of the superior court the plaintiff alleges that it is the owner of claims situate in the Tiptop Mining company group in Yavapai county.
 The plaintiff contends that the de- fendant failed to carry out the agree ments of a lease, abandoned the work of sinking a shaft which he agreed to sink and that he removed machinery and equipment to the damage of the company in the amount for which suit was brought.
 The defendant is the father of B. A Gillespie, who, as stockholder, re- gently filed suit for an accounting against the mining company.

measure of aspiration or self-respect the man who is to become a soldier is an uncommonly apt pupil. It IS sad that some of the illiterates who have been enrolled in the emergency school have learned to read and write after only months instruction.
 The teachers are rendering their services free. It is work of the highest charity, and all who are en- gagged in it merit the grateful regard of the entire state.
 In 1914 when the people ratified the education amendments to the state constitution the death knell of Iilliteracy in Alabama was sounded. But it will take time to get the new educational machinery in full running order. Good progress is being made, however. The compulsory school at tendance law becomes effective in the coming autumn, and in the course of a few years illiteracy will reach the vanishing point.
 In the meanwhile wartime drive along the reading and writing line will accomplish wonders. The Hitter acy commission has done much of real value within the last three years, but what is being done now for the men who are to join the colors is the great est achievement of all.

san Francisco.-Some inventive ge- nius possessed of an unquenchable thirst and practicing the old-time pro. verb, necessity is the mother of in- vention," has made discovery that enables those inclined to indulge in lntoxicants to partake of . new alco holic beverage that is really non-alco- holic.
 The first to use the new invention are the inhabitants of Los Angeles. The trick is done by opening a bottle of near-beer, distinguished for it's lack of a real kick and inserting therein three or four raisins The bottle is then recorked and in A hours the con tents have taken on the desired strength.
 The raisips do the work by the sim pie process of fermentation, and-we ell. the sales of near-beer have increased tenfold in the last few weeks in the entire southern California district.

Will Be Hard to
 Equal MendelssOhn' $

TIT may be assumed that the wed-
 ll ding march which Sousa promises to write will be at once 100 per cent American and full of melodic charm, but if the popular composer and band master succeeds in producing nuptial music equal to the Mendelssohn march
 he will deserve place with the inn mortals.
 Time was when Americans who had decided upon a musical career went to Europe to study, and those who sought to become thorough in the laws
 of harmony and the grammar of
 chords usually found their way to a German conservatory. That is the reason why even the best of our native born composers of large works lacked originality. The music they wrote was to all intents and purposes foreign, usually of strong German flavor. But this country has made great strides in art, especially in music. Excellent schools of instruc- ton are found in every section of the United States and all-American con- cert programmes are now in distinct vogue.
 The natural prejudice against every
 thing German has extended to music, albeit an international language. While Bach, Mozart and other masters
 of the long ago continue to be repre- lsented on festival programmes, in England and America contemporary German composers have been general Ily interdicted. And even Wagner, who
 has been dead many years, is seldom
 heard outside of Germany, probably because HG SIOOu tuOIC SOlioplNuOuSly
 than the rest as the exponent of German "kultur.'
 As for Mendelssohn, lofty-minded
 and sweet-tempered, who, by the way, was almost as English in his predi- llections as Handel, he will never come under a ban. No matter how
 many fine wedding marches may
 make their appearance from now on
 none will quite take the place of the classic that has been heard at every Inuptial celebration these last fifty wears or more. It is from the Mid summer Nights Dream" suite, with its enchanting overture, it's lovely
 nocturne and it's brilliant scherzo, but in the nobility of its sentiment and the simplicity of it's treatment it will
 doubtless rank through the ages as
 the greatest of wedding marches.

GIVING TfEM THE FACTS

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 our submarines" says a German paper, ''are delivering decisive blows to French hopes by checking the de- livery of American soldiers and sup plies." Seems to be some confusion in the editorial sanctum on this point. It was not Germany's little submarine lodging around in American waters. but her long-range gun diverted from cannonadin5 Paris and trained on the United States that sunk our transports and drove our unembarked troops into Mammoth cave and cyclone cellars.
