the property at Five Points was the opinion of City Attorney Sloan who recommended, however, that the city advertise for bids in case the prop erty is leased. This he said was not included in the statutes, although permission to sell was authorized and he had no doubt leasing would come in the same category.
 The land was originally Q part of the Neahr addition to the city of Phoenix, and was taken over at the time the tract was added to the city, being desired as sort of park.
 Both the Citizens State bank and Walter NJ. Davis have requested per mission to lease the property, it is said. It was finally agreed upoI that the residents of Five Points would have a chance to express their preference through petition. J. H. | Williams agreed to circulate the pe- tition and present it at the next meeting of the commission.
 Save Coin for City
 A special meeting of the commits sion will be held Monday, January IA, to discuss a method of registra- ton suggested by City Clerk Thomas which it is declared will save the city between S4O0 and $500 and it will greatly facilitate registration.
 Mir. Thomas said, however, that ih order to introduce the measure it would be necessary for the commits sion to pass an ordinance which is now being drafted by MT. Nelson.

 On recommendation of City Clerk Thomas a hearing on Willetta street, which was to have been conducted on January 2, but was overlooked at that time, will be held Wednesday, January 16 The hearing relates to the improvement of Willetta street from Central to Third avenue.
 In resuming the continued hearing on the improvement of North Fourth street from Washington to Roose- welt, Lewis Killeei. appearing before the commission declared that the work had not been completed because that portion of the street occupied by the street car tracks has not been ] paved Mir. Killeen also protested against the location of the stand I pipe at the corner of Fourth and Monroe streets and agai1.st the rust which has been allowed to accumu- late at this location on the pave ment.

REDUCE WEIGHT so

HEINz'S GREAT COLLECTION
Ivory Carvings Owned by PittsburgheF
Are Declared TO Be Almost
Priceless

During many years II. J. Heinz Of
Pittsburgh has gathered together one
of the finest collections of ivory cary
ings in America. There are probably
dozen notable collections Of this
sort in the country, and among them
the Heinz group of 1900 pieces holds
distinguished rank, says a writer in
Scribner's.
As a rich and Fascinating field for
discriminating collector, ivory carv-
ings are perhaps without peer. Exc
cuted in a material that has always
been costly, too rare, as a rule, to be
subjected TO poor or mediocre work
manship, they may well be considered
as typical Of the artistic development
OF the time in which they were pro-
duced. They represent the art, more
over, not Of one people, Of one period,
but, it is scarcely an exaggeration to
say, of all peoples and all periods
From prehistoric ages down through
the civilizations OF Egypt and Assyria
and of classic Greece and Rome have
come priceless examples of sculptured
worries. The dark ages Of Europe, so
meager in artistic treasures, have be
Queathed US an unbroken chain Of
ivory carvings. Much Of the most in
teresting OF such work must be accred-
tied TO the centuries Of the Gothic re-
vival, the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth. The Renaissance and the
centuries succeeding have yielded a
wealth OF carved worries Of great rich
ness and beauty. From India, China
and Japan come worries Of deep his
toric interest and especially In the
work OF Japan, Of genuine artistic
achievement.
Periods OF exceptional turbulence,
such as the fall Of Constantinople, the
reformation in England and the French
revolution, have caused the destruction
OF Incompatible treasures. That so
much has survived seems cause for
wonder The explanation lies in the
very nature Of the carvings.

The interview with the reichskanzler
and the fact that it was instigated by
the kaiser Indicated to me that Amer
lea occupied a most important place
in the kaiser's plans. When, a few
months later, we declared war against
Germany, however, all the kaiser's
planning and plotting Of years col
