MAGAZINE FUR
 RED GROSS 0UT

l Those Red Cross members who have hot been receiving magazines will be interested in the following letter which has been received at the office of the lCentral Arizona chapter. It is probable that by this time nearly every sub lscriber has received his copy. If not the local chapter will be glad to take Iup with the magazine publishers at Garden City, l.. l., the reason for the delay The letter from the editor of the magazine is as follows:
 Red Cross magazines have been mailed to Christmas drive subscribers This has been done in spite of the fact that nearly 450,000 names have been received since January 1. Every Hist has had to be counted and ac- lknowledged to chapter and to division headquarters. Every name has had to be stencilled, proof-read and filed. The lilies have had to be arranged alpha betically by postoffices. Wrappers have been addressed. filled with ma gazines and packed into mail bags and delivered to the postoffice. Four of the largest printing establishments in America have been manufacturing the magazines day and night.
 Probably no other magazine has ever had such task or such rapid growth in circulation-from 240000 last July to 1,3Q0,00 now.
 Very sincerely yours.

The rain interfered with the afternoon program but John T. Vance. proprietor of the Vance audi torium threw his skating rank open to the pupils, giving them a reduced price for the afternoon and turning the en- tire proceeds over to the fund for the purchase of stamps.
 This graceful act was appreciated to the full by the youthful workers for Uncle Sam.

 The week following the big class adoption of Modern Woodmen the society will hold a ball, which they propose to make one of the greatest social functions of the season in Phoenix. The committees have all been appointed and are making very preparation for great time on that occasion. The exact date<of the bal will be given later.

Filing demurrer to the complaint and general denial, the attorney gen. eral yesterday replied to the mandam- us action instituted by Lamar Cobb. as taxpayer. to compel the attorney general to bring quo warranto proceed ings against Leroy A.

 The arguments will be heard before Judge Lyman at 10 o'clock Monday morning. Mr. Cobb claims that the act creating the commission of state insti- tutions is void and unconstitutional. He bases his contention on the ground that the enacting clause was stricken from the bill and never restored; that the title of the act is in contrayention of the constitution for the reason that no purpose was expressed in the title to create a commission of state institu- tions and for the additional reason that the bill was not read three times in the house of representatives as re- quired by the constitution and that two thirds of the members did not dis pense with the reading.
