PHOENIX, Ariz., May 24.-The first
special session Of the third Arizona
state legislature, which convened on
Tuesday last at noon, with the same
officers and clerical organization as
the regular sessions, gives promise of
lasting until well over in the month
of June e;nd possibly longer. A num-
! ber of bills have been introduced in
both houses. generally along the line
as limited in the governors call and
/ including measures creating and CIV
ing authority to state council of de-
ffense: providing for the protection of
the legal rights of soldiers and sailors
during the period of the war, and bills
providing for the voting of solaiers
and sailors.
During the week a resolution was
adopted ratifying the proposed amend
ment to the federal constitution for
rational prohibition. There was lit
tie delay in approving this measure
and certifying the result to the ma
tional congress.
The sensation of the week was, a
resolution presented in the house by
Mrs. ONeill of Maricopa county con-
demning in the severest terms the or
ganizatioa of the Industrial Workers
of the World, and declaring that their
presence in Arizona should be gotten
lrid of, and further calling on all state
officers, high and low, to join in stop
ping the progress of the I. W. W.,
which the resolution characterized as
menace to our institutions and our
flag. The house adopted the resolu.
ton without a dissenting vote, but in
the senate there was a move for de-
lay, and finally Campbell, who had
introduced it in that body, withdrew
the resolution, stating that it's consid-
GRAFTON tended to create discord.
In explanation of the situation, it
should be remembered that at the
opening of the legislature Governor
Hunt in his message declared that the
l. w. w. in Arizona had been used by
special interests to cover up wrong
doing they had been guilty of Incl
dental to the Bisbee deportations.
Senator Campbell declared that he
had no intention to start a discussion
with Governor Hunt on the subject
of l. w. W.ism and whether they ex-
listed in the state or not, consequently
he would not offer his resolution to
the senate.

A diamond is not the hardest thing
In the world. A diamond will cut
glass and bore through case hardened
tempered chrome STEEL but glass and
steel-the diamond itself too-are soft
compared to some things. The hardest
thing in the world is a hard woman.
Mrs. Britt was such woman.
have seen hard women in my time,
but never one who was harder. She
smiled seldom, and when, she smiled it
was like the glitter Of ice. She spoke
infrequently, and when she spoke her
speech was the tinkle of hail on slate
roofing. She did not look as if she had
ever wept in her life.
Every morning Mrs. Britt appeared
at the Red Cross auxiliary in upper
Broadway. She was the first to- arrive
in the morning, the last to leave at
night. No one knew much about her,
though. She was not the sort that
make condolences. But that she was
worker-a hard wOrker-nO one would
was trait of Mrs. Britt's.
Are Efficient Women Hard?
Efficiency-dreadfu word that! How
often hard women are efficient! How
often efficient woman are hard She
was both, Mrs. Britt. The moment she
came in at the door she had her hat
and jacket off. The next instant she
was at her place, her mouth set, grim,
austere and hard-hard at work. Prob
ably she did her work only from sense
of duty. Hard women always profess
that trait. Duty, duty But, then,
few women are as hard as Mrs. Britt.
In contrast to her was Mrs. Farlow.
She was soft and womanly and gentle
the exact opposite. She was not
very efficient, of course, though she
tried. Day after day Mrs. Farlow sat
at the work table, her mouth CULVER
ing smiling wistfully, the tears starting
in her eyes. The bandageS that came
from her were often soiled and rum
pied, poorly sewn, too, by her poor lit
tie trembling fingers. 1t was Won
der she could even see to sew at all.
Again and again what she turned in
had to be thrown away.
But no one reprimanded her. No one
even let fall hint that she was more
of burden than help. The hearts
of all those women ached with woman
ly pity for the poor. stricken mother.
Once in awhile, though, in her corner
at the back of the room Mrs. Britt
would turn around and throw a glance
at her. The glance was as hard as
rocKs-harder, in fact.
Mrs. Farlow had son in the Rain
bow division. The son was the Oldest
Of her four children, and until he went
away the little mother had been the
f.ppiest woman in the world. Now any
day he might be ordered off to France.

Farlow back on her chair; with the
other she thrust at her the half fin
ished bandage. Her tone as grim as
her face, she spoke, and again the
sound of it was like hail pattering on
slate. you're not thinking of your
son." she said. You're just thinking
of yourself"
Ihere was a murlnur of remOn-
STRANGE. Mrs. Britt heard it, and she
flashed a look about her. But when
she spoke again it was to Mrs. FarlOw
she spoke.
Think of Your Son.
you're not the only mother in this
war;" she said. ''If you thought lit
tie more about them and little less
about yourself you'd be doing some
thing. You'd be helping your son, for
one thing!'
"Why, what do you mean?" gasped
Mrs. Farlow.
Mrs. Britt smiled another adamant,
icy smile.
"Your son wouldn't die for want of
care. Any one of those bandages I've
seen you ruin might save his life Any
one of them might save the life of
some other mothers son!''
Mrs. Farlow shrank as if she had
been struck. She'd never thought of 1t
that way before.
The silence, the grim reserve, which
had cloaked Mrs. Britt seemed for a
moment to quit her. 81 have no son."
she said, her fiinty voice biting out the
words Il had one, but he died at
Guantanamo. 1t was in the Spanish
war;" snapped Mrs. Britt, "and there
were no understanding. That's
why he died. That's why I'm here
now. It's to keep other women-moth-
ers-from becoming the sort of woman
am" A harsh, brittle laugh escaped
her. "Oh, know what you think of
me. I've heard what you said. Well"
said Mrs. Britt, "my son wouldn't have
died like that maybe if l hadn't sat
around shifting and snuffling, never
doing thing"
Then, her lips drawn into a bony
more and stalked back to her place in
the corner.
That night Mrs. Farlow rose from
her place at the bandage table and
sought~the table at the back. For the
first time that day Mrs. Farlow had
managed to create half a dozen band
ages, none Of which had to be thrown
away. Timidly she held out hand to
the drab, dingy figure in the corner.
"I-I've done better today" she said
timidly.
Mrs. Britt looked up at her. Out of
the corner Of one CLASSY eye something
welled, then fell, running slowly down
her cheek.
"He was only twenty. He was all ]
had" said Mrs. Britt.

UNUSUAL PICTURE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT

Something no one in Ray should
miss seeing will be the motion pic
ture given at the Iris Theatre next
Wednesday evening under the title,
my Own United States" The Ray
Loyalty League is concerned in the
production which is teeming with
action and picturizes the most inter
esting pages of American history
1t is not war picture. but dra-
matte sensation presenting the inner
struggle of a human SOUL Philip
Nolan, "the man without a country"
is the dominating character around
which this vitally dramatic story Gen.
ters. This wilful young man, who be-
came as "clay in the hands of the pot
ter" Aaron Burr, is depicted with
great sincerity to facts, in his youth
full romances and moments of tragic
struggle All the finer artistry at the
command of Americas foremost actor,
Mr.. Arnold Daily, is brought into play
in portraying Nolan in whom are
combined the sensitiveness of an
idealist and the recklessness of an ad-
venturer.
The entire picture is played against
a chain of historical events-the duel
of Hamilton and Burr, the battle of
the famous frigate Constitution" with
Algerian pirates, and other scenes of
equal import, each Of which is enact
ed with utmost fidelity. BY special
government permission, the original
veteran of the American navy, the
Constitution" was used for the
scenes transpiring on board "Old Iron
sides"
my Own United States" helps you
TO become better acquainted with the
history of the greatest republic on the
face of the globe-the United States
of America.

OH, BOY, SOME GAME,
RAY TO PLAY HAYDEN

It's for the championship of the
district for 1918 and besides every
bit of the silver taken in at the gate
goes to help swell the Red Cross
fund. Just how the money will be
divided has not been announced but
who cares. The winner will get the
long end of it that's for certain. But
Just think of it the only game of
ball between Ray and Hayden to be
let loose this season We know who
will win, but can't print it this week.
Of course there will not be all that
excitement there used to be in the
old days when the professionals were
in our midst, but nevertheless it will
be real baseball and all for the Red
Cross
Sunday afternoon, May 26th, at
Hayden at o'clock Will we be there

GIFT OF RAY CON

The Ray Consolidated Copper com.
pany yesterday announced donations
to the Red Cross as follows: The total
donation was $4,000, of which amount
$500 was allotted to Kelvin. and the
balance divided equally between Hay

Ter city will get credit for $3.50 and
Ray $3.50.
The gift is indeed a generous one.
Just what proportion of the total gift
made to the, Red Cross fund by the
Ray Con. company was allotted to
Arizona is mt known. 1t is known,
however, that liberal personal gifts
have been made by prominent direct
ors of the company.
