At this conference were Americans, Indian, Mexican, Chinese and Japanese boy, but they represented the elder boy leadership of the State. The Captains of the Baseball, Football squads, the star athletes, leaders of oratory and cholarship were the type of boys that attended" MT. Demand told of the District Conferences last Spring that were held at Bisbee and Miami at which nearly two hundred boys were present. It was at this gathering that the boys decided to hold their conference during the Thanksgiving vacation rather than in the Spring. and it was then decided that Phoenix would be the next meeting place.
 Extensive plans are being made by the boys of the> Phoenix High School and Y. M. c. A. to entertain the three hundred delegates. This will be the largest conference of older boys meet ing together to consider character building that has ever been assembled in the Southwet. This program this season will be made up of strong speakers who are boy men, and who will bring stirring addresses inspiring the boys to do the best things of life.
 Delegates to the conference will be sent by High Schools, Sunday Schools, B yScouts and other organized group of elder boys. Committees to handle the detail of preparing for the con ference are already at work and noth- ing will be left done, it is assured, to make the Phoenix gathering one of the biggest events that has ever taken place in the interest of the boy life of the Southwest.

 It was further announced that the state of Sonora has been officially re- moved from the dry list by the act of the state congress in abrogating the provisions of Gen. Calles' famous decree Mo-. 1. The new law permits the sale of beer and light wines but provides heavy penalty for the man. ufacture or sale of mescal, tequila, sotol and other strong liquors.
 The regulation of the liquor traffic is left in the hands of the executive department of the state government to be in force from the last day of December of this year. It is said that Adolfo da la Huerto, governor of Sonora, will issue permits for the sale

WRONG INDIAN IS .gs
 DECORATED BY KING

How Governor Campbell was select ed by the Indian warriors who enter tained the king and queen of Belgium to intercede on behalf of the chief of the tribe with his majesty, is the in teresting story brought back from Grand Canyon by P. R. Mines, the governors secretary.
 Zig Chief Pete, it seems, had been decorated by the king. After it was all over with and Big Pete was strut ting around in a derby hat and Prince Albert coat, the only ones worn, the real chief of the tribe ap- peared on the scene and it came out that Big Pete was not the first chief after all, but merely an ordinary sub chief. gl thiT
 The chief proper was entitled to the decorations which had been awar- ded Big Pete, and all the honors that went with it. The ceremony would have to be undone, and the real chief crowned with the glory to which he was rightly entitled. This was the claim laid before Governor Campbell, and as the great white father of Ari- zona he was requested to straighten the matter out in the proper way.
 But the governor declined the hon. or. The king himself is the only one who can make the change, he told the Indian warriors, and stoically they abided by his decision without fur ,ther argument or quibbling, and with out offering the suggestion even that the real chief be accorded like hon. ors to that which had been usurped by Big Pete.

SCOPE OF FOURTEENTH
 CENSUS IS EXTENDED

Washington, Nov.-That the Four teenth Decennial Census, on which the actual enumeration work will begin January 2, 1920, is, to be the most inn portant ever taken is shown by the fact that the Act of Congress provid- ing for this census expressly inceas- ed the scope of the inquiries so as to include forestry and forest products, two subjects never covered specifi- cally by any preceding census act.
 The inquiries to be made relating to population, manufacture, mines, quarries and agriculture, were also ex- tended in their scope by Congress, the keenest interest over the forthcoming census having been shown by the members of the census committees of both the House and Senate while the law was under consideration.
 The statistics gathered on mining will include all oil and gas wells. Many startling developments in this important branch of the Nations re- sources are looked for by census of ficials. The figures gathered in Tex as, Oklahoma and Kansas will no doubt prove to be those most eagerly sought for, as shown by inquiries al ready eceived by the Census Bureau
 The compilation and gathering of forestry products statistics will be in charge of special force of experts. The accurate and comprehensive fig ures gathered concerning this vital natural resource will be much in de- mand, and the comparisons made with conditions existing before the war will be of great interest.
 Agricultural statistics will likewise be thes ubject of special effort on the part of the Census Bureau as the im- portance of farming is being realized by the average citizen far more than ever before.

Of which has not been generally tabu-
lated, and QUESTIONABLE has been
sent to all motor truck manufacturers
Of America on this subject. Immedi-
ate attention to this has been request
ed in order to facilitate the expert
ments.
In the initial stages of the work the
pack has been measured by the per-
manent reformation of one-half by
one-half inch copper cylinders placed
under steel plunger subjected to the
impact of traffic. A varying height of
fall is arrived at by different take-offs
for the machine. First experiments
indicated a wide range in the force
of impact as between units with solid
tires and pneumatics.
Working from these first steps the
bureau officials plan to perfect a ma
chine which will take into account the
factors mentioned and which will en-
able them to provide constant sue
cesslon of impacts on selected slabs
or paving compositions. This will en-
able the experiments to proceed much
more rapidly than would be possible
under actual road conditions. Tests
will be made on horse-drawn as well
as motor-driven vehicles.
In addition to the above expert
ments another series Is planned to de-
termine the wearing qualities Of differ
ent types of road surfaces when sub
jected to very heavy traffic.
