Notes of the Game
BY N. Il. UTRAL


Tech won the league pennant at
the expense of the Blue and Gray
team in one of the fastest games
OF the season.
Central had a new life in last
nights game and during the first
half seemed like winner. High led
the score at the end of the first half,
at 13 to II.
After five minutes of play in the
second half Tech opened up and
swept Central players off their feet.
BY brainy shooting and playing
Tech was able to keep a lead of
from six to twelve points in the Sec
ond period.
Two points were scored in the
first five minutes of play. Frank
and Huston shot goals from the free
line in this period.
Huston Gagged a hair-raising shot in
the first half. The captain shot a
clean basket from the center of the
floor.
The cheering was so terrific in the
IfSL nalI LnaJ several llIHeS play SIS
did not hear the referees whistle
ard kept on playing.
Spectators and players agreed that
Carney displayed the best ability or
officiating of any referee in this city
for a long time.
Carney was exceptionally cool
headed and was boss" of the game.
Players were not allowed to dictate
and did not even try to.
Tech players during the entire
game did not play as fast ball as
during the previous contest. The
men seemed to be a bit disorganized
at times.
Peter P. Carney is not only good
official, but is some interesting sport

total of $l097 76ll,650.
"While the actual sales through
all agencies probably is somewhat
in excess of this figure" said the
headquarters review, the results
obtained in the drive thus far are
not highly encouraging. The cam

think it is something more than
a passing fancy that seems to find
a curious resemblance between
houses and the people that live in
them. The identity that expresses
itself in house, whether it is built
or selected by its resident, is that
same inherent and mysterious thing
that determiens the attractions and
friendships between people. In its
charm and austcrity, its ease or its
iormality, its aggressiveness or its
retirement, in all that makes its
character and personality there is
something there OF recognized con-
geniality and personal fitness that
draws the dwcller to the dwelling
makes him take to it as his own.
And Just as there is character in
houses, there are elements Of har-
mony that prevail between them.
That is why a neighborhood OF
houses OF widely varying types
strikes one as unpleasantly discord-
ant. 1t is a gathering together OF
uncongenial spirits, their peculiar
tiles emphasized by their differences.
1t i, individuality carried to the point
OF outright anlipathy
DiScordanl neighborhood, are a
peculiar characteristic OF American
cities. The American temperament
seems not to be keenly attuned toi
harmonies in its architecture. 1t sell
dom takes into account the fitness
of things. When an American sees
something that he likes, he promptly
makes it his own, indifferent TO the
fact that he has no proper place to
put it. And because there is virtue |
in Tudor houses, Spanish missions,
Swiss chaletS and Moorish palaces,
we must put one OF each on Il city |
block and call it "architecture.'
1t does not matter that the Moor
ish palace irowns arrogantly upon
the modest Swiss chalet or that the
Spanish. mission turns a blank stare
toward its old enemy OF Armada
lines, and that the whole block be
,omes, therefore, a center of Warring
actions, disturbing the architectural
peace and harmony OF the commun-
ty.
America is the only country in the
world that has not developed a ma
ional style of architecture.
At the same time, most of the {
population OF America is collected
nto communities, where the com /
nunity life takes on certain charac- !
There is no good reason !
Why the houses in each community ;

not conform agreeaby to the order
of the community.
This was true in the early days OF
the settlement OF the country. when
people were dependent for their ma
terias upon the district in which
they lived and were governed in their
needs by the climate. That is why
we had a certain type of houses in
New England differing widely from
those OF Spanish California; why
the houses OF the old South had a
STYLE of their own quite distinct

have built badly, But it is urged
that in our building, whether it b,
house or theatcr or a monument
we go back to the old principle OF
fitness that lies at the root Of all
good taste and determine the form
and structure OF our building with
regard to the simple rules OF utility,
beauty and harmony with its setting
its surroundings.
When these are observed, one can
not go lar wrong in his choosing,
The owner may not be a good judge

indiscriminatc taste, and governed

tour of the land and the nature OF
the materials at hand, he can be
trusted to pacify in some degree the
discordant neighborhoods OF Amer
lean communities. In observing the
rule OF fitness, too, he is more like
" than not to develop eventually an
American style OF architecture, for
only by serving the laws OF utility
beauty and harmony with its set

in spite Of the longing looks cast
in her direction by Turkey and the
Gar OF Russia. In fact, she man
aged to remain independent because
the powers who wanted her played
off against each other. When the
Turks started to invade Persia, the
Cars armies came to her rescue
and drove them back. 1t was not
that the Gear wanted Persia any the
less, but that he hated the Turks
more.
Assyrians Immigrate to America.
There are now thousands OF Assy-
rian people in the United States and
Canada. They did not come here
as political refugees, but because
they look upon America as a great
center of education and commerce
The American missionaries carried
this news to Assyria more than IS
years ago, and great interest in
the United States has spread from
the college at Uramia, founded about
20 years ago, Of which the late DR..
Shcdd was president.
The Assyrian-American colonies
are in Chicago, Philadelphia Yonk-
ers, New Britain, Conn, Worcester,
Mass, Hartford, Boston, Los An
geles and san Francisco. Some OF
the men are painters and decorators.
\ very large number are in the
Persian rug industry. Others are
contractors and machinists. During
the last months. many have gone
into munitions factories.
An Assyrian National Association.
Their principal society is the As
syrian National Association. OF |
which DR.. Joel Werda is president.
This organization has branches in
every ASsyrian colony. II was DR.,
Wcrda who represented his people
at the international Fourth OF July

try. This periodical not only CIR
culates among most of the Persians
and Asseyrian people in America,
but goes back to Persia, and is tax

The Assyrians in America have
shown their patriotism by purchas-
ng Liberty bonds and War Savings

ASSYRLA AND THE WAR
. (By the Committee on Public In
formation.)

(By the Committee on Public In
formation.)
One OF the most deplorable storie
of the war comes to us from north
western Persia, that portion which
is the homeland of the Assyrian peo
pie. A band of no less than 4500C
refugees, driven out OF the city OF
Uramia by the Turks and Kurds
are making their way across the pla-
teau OF Iran, toward Hamadan
where they hope to find safety with
in the British lines. Perhaps a third
OF this number are fighting men. The
rest are women, children and old
men. When the Turks made their
first attack upon them in Uramia,
amonth ago, they slaughtered about
$4,000. Now they are pursuing the
others within credible fury killing all
that they can lay their hands on,
burning villages, destroying crops,
and devastating the country.
But the Turk is not the only en-
emy with which these refugees have
to contend. There is the unhealthy
climate, the rishs OF sleeping out
of-doors through the damp nights,
'ack of food and clothing, and the
oul drinking water. Recently an
epidemic of cholera swept through
lie little army and wiped ont a
great number. one OF those who

an college in Uramia.
Previous Turkish Massacres.
IT his forced flight is not the lirst
mirage perpetrated by the Turks
III Assyria since the beginning OF
he war. Early in 1915, they began
a-scries OF systematic massacreS.
About 10000 were put to the knife
within 4 few days, and 10000 were
brown into prison, from which
nov were later released by Russian
roUps. There was second reign OF
error in 1917, and a third during
ne month of March, 1918, when the
3ttacking Ottomans were led by |
,erman officers. 1t was during the
March atrocities that Mar Shimen,
patriarch OF the HISTORIANS was
lain by Turkish soldiers.
The purpose behind this campaign
OF blood is characteristic OF the
Turk. The Turks have long detest-
ed the Assyrians because they are
and because, from the
start OF this war they have been very
pro-Ally. They are supposedly neu-
raj, and Ahmer Shan, their ruler,
las constantly advised them to re-
main 50. But it is well known that
.,erman influences have been busy
lmong them.

NEW DISTRICT
 NUT AGREED LIN

Representatives of the Creighton, Madison and Scottsdale districts ap- peared before the board of supervisors yesterday in answer to the request Of the board to informally discuss the ad- visibility of creating a new school dis trict. No decision was reached and the board has the matter under advise ment.
 That there will be opposition to the plan from the Madison school district was evident to the supervisors who intimated that if a new school district were to be formed it would comprise d section of Creighton and Scottsdale districts. It is understood that the chil- dren in these sections live at a great distance from the schools in either place and desire their own building in the center of the isolated part of the county.
 The opposition to the plan is said to have arisen because of the fact that the new district will double the present tax rates.

No Further Russian Experimentation

1T tile people of this country are consulted in the matter. there will be no further aid extended to Russia in the near future We have done enough; or rather have sufficiently attempted to do it. What aid rendered in the latter days of the empire and under the first revolution properly rendered to allies, though it was not effective. What have since done in the way of hopeless experimental ton and nothing has come of it.
 Russia is in a bad way. true enough. It needs money sympathy and everything It cannot be rebuilt without these things and doubt in the reconstruc ton of the world which shall follow the war; all this aid will be extended to Russia by But we have neither the time the All the money can raise is needed for work and that of allies. For these things cheerfuy give until it Surts and we uncomplainngly bear privations.
 If by aiding Russia could resurrect it as an ally, that would be different matter but only visionary could entertain hope of such a thing. If that possible it could be brought about only through a revolution of intermnabe length through out that unweldy country. from which we could de- rive benefit and from which the Germans would suffer military disadvantage But such rection could not become complete within the prob able duration of the war, however long it may be.
 We cannot now afford to be altruistic and charit- able. We absorbed ought to be. with the busi- ness we have with the Germans We have already given ourselves much to ideals. home and abroad to the neglect of what practical and immediately essential We should learn some- time that are at war with people who are not handicapped by beautiful ideals but have only one idea with which they proceeding ntellgently and systematically. 1t is business to prevent their realization of it and can do that only by equal intelligence and with equal fixedness of purpose

SWANSEA MINE
 BEING WORKED
 FUR bELG|ANS

Owned by Belgian people, many Of whom it is impossible to locate since the kaiser'S hordes have devastated that country, the Swansea mines at Swansea, now under lease to the com pany operating them, have promising future, according to C. m. Zander, chairman of the state tax commission. The commission returned Sunday from a visit of inspection to the mines and held a hearing at Swansea regarding the general condition of the property
 Construction of a 200-ton concen- trator is now in progress at the mine" said Mir Zander. There is enough ore in sight to pay for this mill. The hope of the operators is based etirely on the practical success of some very promising experiments in flotation' conducted by the superintendent, NIT. Burnett.
 "The 500-foot, accompaniment shaft is now completed and two drifts have been run to the ore body in the lower level. Enough work has been done in this level to develop commer- cial ore.
 Former Superintendent Lane is de- veloping the Argus mine of like char acter contiguous to the Planet" ad- ded MT. Zander. Tn this property the ore body is expected to be found in a short time when shipments will begin. This district is adjacent to the Bill Williams river which runs through q part of the state still undeveloped a mining or agriculture. Although unde- veloped, it is of great promise.
 "The Bill Williams is one of the few Arizona rivers that carry water. If its floods were conserved, there probably would be water sufficient to irriga'a 10000 acres. At the mouth of the Bill Williams river potash has been discov- cred, and it may be that this locality will come to the aid of the nation in this most important element.
 Certain it is that if the Swansea mining property proves to be perma nent produced. all of the undeveloped resources of this virgin region will be investigated"
