Have you gained in weight during the
last three or four days? Or has the
terrific heat boiled you down three or
four pounds?
What do you think has happened to
the little lads and lassies who live
in the teAements cf the city during
this record-hreaking hot wave? Have
they gained or lost in weight and vital
ity?
Here is the record of what happened d
to one hundred Of them fifty boys
and fifty girls. For convenience in
estimating their relative condition be-
fore the hct wave struck town and
after they were divided into four
groups Of twenty-five each, girls and
boys being separated.
The first group OF girls III the four
teen days ended yesterday gained an
average Of four pounds each. One
girl in the group went from forty-eight
pounds 90 tifty-four and half gaining
q total of SIX and one-half oounds, tho
record for her group. Two others
gained five and one-half pounds each,
several others FIVE pounds each.
Another group. one composed of
boys, gained an average of three and
seven -twelfths pounds each. the record
holder making gain of five and one
half pounds
The average gain in the second
group of girls was two and three
twenty-sixths pounds; that of the sec
ond group of boys, two and one half
pounds.
How did they do it in the swelter;ng
homes OF the tenement districts? ? They
didn't. They were tenement children.
but they were far from the usual
haunts when the heat was at its ter
rlble worst. Two weeks ago yesterday
they were sent by The Tribune Fresh
Ar Fund to st. Helen's Homo at Inter-
laken, Mass, in the Berkshire Hills,
and while the heat @as baking and
boiling you and wasting your flesh and
vitality, they were romping and PLAY

Mother of Three

Mrs. Mitchell cites the example of
the proposed legislation in Albany last
Year and the year before to relax labor
laws affecting women and children.
"'Those laws would not have had
much chance of getting to the Gov
ernor. as they did in 1917, if women
had been sitting in the legislative
chambers m Albany" she said
Mrs Mitchell has had a prominent
place in the suffrage history Of New
York State She is chairman OF the
rural problems committee of the New
York State Woman Suffrage party, a
member OF the legislative committee
and suffrage leader Of her Assembly
district She is chairman of the WON
ems division Of the Republican State
Committee Of Washington County and
was y delegate to the Republican con-
vention at Saratoga. She has three
children. SIX. four and Two years old,

First of Prominent State
Suffrage Leaders to Enter
Primary Contest
Seeks Assembly
Seat at Albany
on Vote o
F armers and Millhands Of
Washington County

Care OF women and children in New
York State as war measure IS the
main plank in the platform on which
Mrs. Betty Wakeman Mitchell, of Hud-
son Falls. will take her stand in her
fight for the Republican nomination
for Assemblyman in Washington Coun-
ty. Mrs Mitchell, who is the first
Of the prominent suffrage leaders IN
the state to enter the primary race for
Office, made that announcement in New
York yesterday before setting out for
Washington County and her three
weeks campaign.
Betty Wakeman," as the farmers
and milhands of Washington County
know her, is opposing in the primaries
E. R. Norton. OF Granville. who, as
the organization candidate, succeeds
Charles @. Pratt, the present Assem-
blyman from that county. Mrs. Mitch
ell has not been backed by the county
organization in any sense Of the word,
but is relying on the woman and labor
vote to carry her through the pri-
maries. Hers is purely a primary
fight, as Washington County is nor
mally IS per cent Republican.
Petition Hastily Prepared
Mrs. Mitchell's petition was prepared
over the week end by the women Of
the state almost as an afterthought on
the political problem confronting them.
Assemblyman Pratt has always been
popular with the suFragists of his
county. whereas Mr Norton. who has
been in the Assembly before, has al
ways been out of sympathy with the
reforms women have backed
In spite of the frowns of some of the
members of the Republican county
committee, therefore, Mrs. Mitchell
and the women got into the fight only
four days before the date set for filing
petitions. Seven hundred and one
names We're signed to Mrs MITCHELL s
petition. which quite surpassed the
prediction of one of the organization
leaders. who thought Mrs. Mitchell
could not obtain twenty names at
that late date"
Mrs. Mitchell in pleading for espe-
cially good conditions for women ard
children during war time takes leaf
from the book of her husband, Com
mander Willis G. Mitchell, feet en-
eneer on the staff of Admiral Coff-
man.
Ny husband repeatedly has told me
that more trouble comes in handling
men in the navy who have home wor-
rics than from any other cause A
sailors wife and children must be
happy and healthy if the sailor is to
be 100 per cent valuable to the ser
vice. For this reason | plead and
will work for the betterment of the
women and children in the state as a
direct war measure"

WHY -CATTLEMEN? :?

The Arizona Cattleman advocates
the election of cattlemen as legisla-
tors, for the reason that mining men
want the cattlemen taxed heavier 1t
seems remarkable that cattlemen,
paying about per cent of the tax of
the state should want to control it's
law making body. Mining pays
about 40 per cent of the tax of the
state and should certainly have some
say in the making CT the laws. It
has never tried to evade taxation,
and surely the cowman has, The
farmer and cattlemen have controlled
the destinies of the state long enough
and it is to be hoped this year will
see the mining men in control of the
legislature and the governorship
The railroads and mining interests
Of the state pay about 90 per cent of
the taxes of the state, while the cat
tlemen, farmers and lumber inter-
ests pay the other 10 per cent

Rattlesnake-A Dark Hole.

The little eight or ten-year-old
son of Mr.. Blount of Harrisburg was
bitten on the hand by rattlesnake
one day last week. Fortunately
prompt medical assistance was OBJ
tainable, and although the case was
a bad one, the action of the poison
was overcome and the boy recovered
The experience will serve as a valu-
able lesson to the lad, as we'll as to
others, one not soon to be forgotten
1t appears that the boys dog discov-
cred something in a squirrel or
prairie dogs hole in the ground, and
stood at respectful distance pointing
at the hole with his nose and
barking savagely. The lad came up
to investigate and peered into the
dark hole but could see nothing. He
then thrust in his hand, determined
to find out what was there He found
QUITO his sorrow-through the
snakes method of imparting such

primary election to be held in Sep
tember. Mr.. Farmer Is the present
incumbent of the office to which he
seeks reelection, and has held the

present chairman of the county or
ganization having the sale of the

candidate for this Office comes for
ward he will have an exceedingly
difficult time outdistancing Mr.. Far

Burned with Coal Oil,

The little eight-year-old son of L.
P. Tolladay was badly burned at the
family home down on the reservation
last Monday. The lad was starting
a fire in the kitchen stove, and to
expedite the task made use Of coal
Oil. Just what happened is not
known, but In any event the oil in
the container caught fire and the
flame was communicated to the boys
clothing. Before assistance could
be rendered him he was so badly
burned about the body that he was
at once taken to Los Angeles for
treatment, A singular coincidence
is that only couple of weeks ago
Mrs. Tolladay was severely burned
in the same house through the
ignition of gasoline with which she
was removing a spot from her skirt,
and she is at present in hospital in
that city, whittier she was taken inn

Rich Manganese Find.

H. w. Mcdowell, who, with his
brothers, is interested in mining in
these parts, was in Parker Tuesday

they recently made a valuable find
in manganese ore at a point on the
Arizona side of the Colorado river,
about five miles above the mine of
the Arizona Manganese Mining COM
pany The ledge crops out on two

it is about twelve feet wide while
on the other it is only two feet vide.
But the ore in the smaller vein Is
extremely high grade, being almost
pure. They have already extracted
about thirty tons of the ore for
shipment.

WHAT HAVE YOU GIVEN UP?

Have you given up your job and
ct your business future take care of
itself?
Have you said goodbye to your
amily and friends and all you hold
dear?
Have you begun an entirely new
areer that may end, if you live,
2ith health impaired, an arm off, a
.eg gone, an eye out?
Have you given up your business
uture and said goodbye and taken a
nance on coming back alive and
veil, and done it with cheerful
leart and with a grim determina-
ion to do all you possibly can for
fOur country?
And do you only at times-in the
1venings, perhaps, when the light III
,he sky slowly fades away-feef so
2Omesick and lonesome that you are
earful you will not have the courage
20 do your part after all?
You have not done these things?
All, see, you are not one of our army
or navy boys; you are a stay lat home
person.
Well, there have to be 20 or more
tay-at-hOme persons for everyone
who goes, and 80 certainly no dis
grace attaches to being one If you
fully appreciate what those boys who
10 go have to give up and if you sup
port them to the limit of your ability.
National War Savings Day is June
%. That day gives yeu the oppor-
tunity Of showing in a practical way
that you do appreciate what it means
TO the boys who go. Pledge yourself
on or before that day to save to the
utmost of your ability and to buy
War Savings Stamps that there may
be more money, labor and materials
to back up those who fight and die
iOr you.

The young man of today who is

Marine Corps is justly proud of his
connection.
The U. S. Marines under Brig. Gen.
eral Doyen have given such a splen-
did account of themselves in France
that America is resounding with the
praises of this Branch of the Service.
The Marines have conclusively given
the lie to the German boast that
America would not fight.
Both at Cantigny and Chateau
Thierry, the Marines not only stop
ped the German attack, but in the
Allies offensives swept the Huns
back from ground they had already
taken The Marines received the
highest praise as a fighting factor
from French Officials who had oc-

GUBERNATORIAL ASPIRANTS.

PHOENIX, June 27.-From Osborn
and Moeur have coEle strong denials
of the rumors of their withdrawal
from the governorship race. From
Winsor nothing more definite has
come than his admission that he
might be drafted. Coulter is said to
be on the edge of starting a daily
paper in Phoenix, from the Arizona
State Press, which is already fully
equipped for such task, even to a
perfecting press, said to have been
purchased by Coulter months ago.
At the head of the State Press
company is H. A. Davis, a prominent
Hunt democrat, who was a member
of the first state senate. Sutter, who
sat directly behind Golfer on the SEN
ate floor, is discussing his own chan
ces for success with utmost degree of
frankness.
The suggestion that a labor union
ticket may be on the fall ballot is
not considered by Senator Claypool
to be we'll founded. He says there
will be nothing Of the sort in his dis
trict, which includes Globe and
Miami In some quarters there is as
that the socialists will
make an especial effort this fall if
Hunt is nominated for governor.

COPPER COST INCREASING.

The new freight rates soon to go
into effect will add approximately
one cent a pound to cost of copper
production for different hauling
charges connected with the industry
The war industries board deciding
against an increased price. ignored
this additional burden as we'll as the
fact that cost of producing copper,
without this new factor, has risen
fully 25 per cent over last September
At the 231a cent price now in
force small mines are operating on
the ragged edge and production is
being cut down.
The metal mining industry has
furnished every requirement of the
government in a remarkable manner
due in large extent to unprecedent-
ed development caused by good prices.
Conditions have changed since the
government set its price of % u cents
for copper some months ago and op-
erations which then showed profit
at this figure, now show too close to
to the danger line
A man who ventures his money on
mining development wants to see an
opportunity for more than average
returns, otherwise why take the risk
Price fixing boards can hold down
prices and incidentally they can hold
down production by thus discourag-
ing development.
Fair prices and a maximum pro-
duction is what the nation needs and
a penuriOus policy which discourages
industries should not be adopted.

AN AUDACIOUS REPTILE.

Wednesday afternoon about five
O'Clock, as Bob Martin and M. T.
Smith sat on the shady side Of the
house at the formers home, discuss
ing the latest events of the war while
near their feet an old hen and her
brood of chicks scratched and pecked
and otherwise followed their usual
vocation, large snake glided
stealthily out from under the house
and caught one of the chicks. Be-
fore it could get back with its prey,
however, Martin seized the reptile by
the neck, raised it up and pulled the
chick, which was uninjured, out of its
mouth. The snake writhed vigorous
ly and Martin tried to retain his grip
but in spite of his best efforts the
snake slipped away from his grasp
and fell to the ground. He headed
off it's retreat, picked up an ak and
chased the thing about the premises,
making numerous passes at it but
always missing, until finally the
snake glided under the house, MAX
ing good it's escape.
The men resumed their seats and
about ten minutes later, just as they
had finished discussing the audacity
Of the reptilian attack, out came the
anne snake and caught another
chick-right at their feet. This
time Smith saw the act and made a
grab at the snakes neck, but being
4 little short in the reach, caught
only the chicks body, it's head being
in the snakes mouth Smith held
on and so did the snake with the
result that the chicks neck parted,
the snake getting away with the head
only. The reptile went under the
house and the men waited long and
patiently for another attack, but the
snake did not show up.
This reptile is said to be very
large one, fully eight feet in length
enough snake in one to make
whole lease of snakes or a pot of
Jim jams
