In consequence the screen slipped from his hands and fell to the street below. In falling it came in con tact with Arduro Gonzales, the seven- yearrold son of Mrs. Dolores Gonzales of Mesa. inflictcing a severe gash in the scalp. Thompson hurried to the street and took the injured child to the office of Dr. L. H. Thayer, where his injuries were dressed. Afterwards the child was sent home.

yield sufficient quantities of fabrics to permit their use in actual flying tests.
 Laboratory tests which were made by the Goodyear Rubber company on the Arizona Pima cotton preliminary to their large investment i'll cotton lands in Arizona (of which 1 told you in our conference), as well as other
 tests conducted since that time by the Goodyear people and by the department of agriculture show that this Arizona
 Pima cotton is fully equal in length of
 fibre and in strength of fabric to the
 best grades of Sea Island, as well as
 to the best grades of imported Egyp- tian cotton.
 T am assured by cotton experts of the department of agriculture who are
 familiar with the long staple cotton
 situation in all parts of the United
 States that there is a much greater
 possibility of obtaining 50,000 bales of even-running long staple cotton of sat isfactory length for airplane fabric, namely, 112 inch or longer from the Arizona Pima crop of 1918 than from any other source in the world. The correctness of the foregoing statements
 can be easily confirmed by conferring with the cotton experts of the bureau [ of markets or the bureau of plant in-
 dustry of the department of agriculture. Owing to the great desirability of i this cotton for the use of tire manu- i lecturers and the American Thread | company, it has been in very active demand this season. However, I am advised by a wire from the Tempe Cotton Exchange, Tempe, Arizona, ] (where this cotton is ginned) that at 1 at least 150 bales of the better grades | of Pima cotton are still unsold at this moment.
 'In view of the immense importance of this matter, I take the liberty of personally appealing to you to take such action as will secure for the gov 1 ernment a sufficient supply of this
 cotton to provide for actual flying tests
 at the earliest possible moment" Casa Grande Project

pert for the signal corps.
 The facts as I find them seem to be as follows: The purchase of approXi- mately 15,0O0 bales of Sea Island cot ton (which under careful tests has been shown to be practically identical in quality and tensile strength with the Arizona Pima cotton) has been con- sumated. 1 understand that at the same time this purchase was made an au- thoriZation was also drawn for the purchase of from 800 to 1000 bales of the Arizona Pima cotton; but MT. Ly- man did not seem to be advised of this authorization to purchase the Arizona Pima cotton. He informed me, how ever, that immediately upon his return from Boston, within the next few days, he would take this matter up with the cotton experts of the department of agriculture, to the end that the project undertaken for the purchase of Arizona Pima cotton, to be tested and used at the earliest possible moment. might be revived and such a purchase consum- mated. I understand that Colonel Deeds, head of the production division of the signal corps, has already ap proved this project of the purchase of Arizona Pima cotton, but that owing to certain IeOTSdnlZdtlOHS WHICH nave occurred in connection with the en- largement of the service this matter has been apparently overlooked.
 Outlook for Future
 Tn view of the fact that during the coming season there is now an assured acreage in this Arizona Pima cotton of over 100000 acres, and that this area is absolutely free from boil Weevil infes- tation, and the fact that the continued production of Sea Island cotton is jeop- ardized by the presence of the boil weevil in that district, it seems vitally essential that steps be taken to test out in actual flying at the earliest possible moment fabrics made from the Arizona Pima cotton, the supply of which will almost certainly equal, if it does not exceed, the available supply of Sea Island cotton this coming season.
 While it is true that steps have been taken by cooperation between the bureau of standards and the bu- reau of markets of the department of agriculture to make experimental spin ming tests of Pima cotton in compar- ison with Sea Island cotton, these tests are on a very small scale and will not

PIMA COTTON ID BE TESTED AS
 A|RW|NCS; CASA GRANDE PROJECT

Actual flying tests of fabric for air plane wings made from Arizona Pima long staple cotton soon are to be made under government supervision. If these tests prove satisfactory, and there is every reason to believe that they will A the highest degree, government con- tracts probably will be made for the purchase of this cotton in large amounts to be used along with Sea Island cotton, in the manufacture Of government airplanes.
 This and other information of such interest to people of this valley has been received in a private letter to Charles E. Green, secretary of the Ari- zona State Council of Defense, from Dwight E. Heard, chairman. who has been in Washington for several days, that it has been decided to make pub lie portions of the letter.
 Regarding the use of Arizona Pima long staple cotton in the manufacture of fabric for airplane wings, the letter states:
 Tn a conference with the cotton committee of the agriculture depart ment, I found that there had been some slip-up in the purchase of the Pima Arizona long staple cotton, and that only Sea Island cotton was to be used in making fabrics for the air planes this season. l have had several conferences with Mir. Howard Coffin, director of. the aircraft board, an eX- Ceptionally keen and able man, and as a result of my final interview with him yesterday, it seems assured that fabrics made from our local Pima cotton will be actually tested in flying this year, which will put us in shape, if these tests prove satisfactory, as there seems every assurance they will, to be in line for the large government purchases next year. I herewith hand you copy of my last letter to MT. Coffin which will give you a good idea of this very important matter"
 The letter to Mir. Coffin, alluded to above. is in part as follows:
 After our interview on the subject of the utilization of Arizona Pima cot ton by the aircraft board as fabric in airplane wings, l, at your suggestion, at once called on Mir. Lockhart of the Signel corps, who showed me a sample of the fabric already made for the use of the aircraft board out of Sea Island cotton, and introduced me to MT. E. T Lyman, recently appointed cotton eX-

adjustment between the Casa Grande and Florence water users, and the Casa Grande water users have been definitely advised that unless they in dicate a willingness to come into the government project within very linn ited period, that it will be necessary to initiate the construction of the pro- ject with a view of excluding their lands from the area to be irrigated MT. Sells apparently thoroughly ap- preciated the interest taken by the Council of Defense in this matter from the standpoint of obtaining food pro- ductcion on lands now idle because of this unfortunate delay. l assured him that we were advised by the leaders in both the Casa Grande and Florence districts that an adjustment of the conflicting rights on the basis Of the tentative agreement of May 16, 1917. would be made promptly, and advised him that shortly after my return, MT. Riordan and myself, Mir. Betts, repre- senting the state corporation commits sion, Dr. von KleinSmid, chairman of our state production committee, and Professor Smith, irrigation expert of the university, would arrange to meet the water users of Casa Grande and Florence in a determined effort to set tie this matter.
 Conference to Be Held
 MT. Sells on his part has agreed to send to this conference Mir. Reid, the chief engineer of the Indian service, and MT. Truesdell of Denver who rep- resents the interior department, and has a thorough understanding of the whole situation. Mr. Reid has since called on me and advised me that they will arrange this meeting the latter part of February, giving us ample notice in advance"
 Regarding provision for soldiers suf- fering from tuberculosis, the letter to Secretary Green says as follows:
 'NIr. Hayden and had very satis- factory conference with Surgeon Gen eral Gorgas on the subject of making some proper provision for those men who had been discharged from the service because of tubercular trouble which was not discovered when they were enlisted, but which on later ex- animation was found to have been con- tracted before enlistment. In the fu- ture, no such men will be discharged unless they desire discharge, but are to be sent to hospitals or given light work, and General Gorgas is going to try to evolve some plan to assist these men who have already been discharged"

Parks and Desert
 to be lPoGced by
 Unpaid Deputies

Declaring that he considered the action of the Arizona Congress of Mothers in advocating police patrol for public parks and desert environs a worthy movement, Sheriff w. H. Milky stated yesterday that he would appoint deputies without pay to serve in that capacity.
 He said he would take the matter up at once and place the names be- fore the board of supervisors in ses- sion Monday for the boards ap- proval.
 q am glad to see the mothers take an active interest in this problem which is one of the most difficult confronting the officers" said Sher- if Milky, yesterday. "It would be impossible to detail our force on this work, with the vast amount of other county business taking up our time, but since men have voIun- teered to act without pay will make the appointments. believe that it will have the desired effect for much of the crime complained of has arisen in the parks and desert"
 In passing resolution asking the sheriff to add to his force, the Con- qress pledged to take more active part in juvenile court affairs.
