Referring to press reports of adop- ton by Germany of an army conscrip- tion policy, Senator Poindexter de- plored disarmament while Germany was taking military measures of her own.
 Article 12 of the constitution pro- viding for arbitration and suspension of war for three months after the league acts, Senator Poindexter de- clared would put under the control of foreign powers every question which might affect our independence, safety honor or existence.'
 '1t is unconscionable, and the Amer ican people will never understandingly ratify it. he said, and if ratified it would never be and could never be kept in the face of an attack upon our vital interests"
 Declaring unconstitutional article IS for supervision of nations munitions trade, Senator Poindexter said:
 "Furthermore, 1t is abhorrent to the self-respect of the United States and a surrender of our sovereignty. It cannot be supposed that the United States has reached such a condition of imbecility that it must have a guardian appointed for it to control it's international and domestic affairs. It is curious that such u proposition should ever receive con- sideration."
 Article 19, providing for mandatories over foreign countries Senator Poindex- ter said, would require use of American naval and military forces in various parts of the world at enormous expense and possible loss of life.
 AGAINST OUR TRADITIONS "We are not called upon," he said, "by any obligation as a nation to assume such duties and it is even doubtful wheth- CT there is any extensive desire anywhere in the world that we should so impose ourselves upon the affairs and peoples of other continents. It is abhorrent to the traditions of the nation and in con flct with the century old policies inher- ited from Washington, Monroe and oth- CT statesmen
 Senat tors Pittnan of Nevada and Rans- dell of Louisiana, democrats, were out spoken in approval of the league.
 'The President has won the greatest diplomatic victory recorded in history" said Senator Pittnan, member of the Senate foreign relations committee. He has overcome the cynical diplomat, the skeptca1 statesman, and the hopeless ma terialist Words and technical cdnstruc- tion matter little. The world has sol emnlv agreed upon the true principles of justice and right, and laid the founda- tion for universal peace. Our people will krow the way to sustain the agree ment."

Vigorous attacks upon four articles of the leagues constitution-those pro- viding for disarmament, arbitrat ton, supervision of the munitions trade and for mandatories of foreign countries was made by Senator Poindexter of Washington, republican, in a statement tonight. He declared the disarmament and munitions trade paragraphs were unconstitutional, the arbitration pro- vision "unconscionable" and the clause for mandatories and others abhorrent.
 Regarding the eighth article of the constitution on disarmament Senator Poindexter said:
 This provision transfers to the league the sovereignty prerogatives of hxing the relative and absolute size of the armies and navies of the several countries The provision is unconsti- tutlonal and an impairment of the sov- erelgnty and independence of this country There is no power in the President, nor in the Senate, nor in congress itself, nor in all combined, to

GOVERNOR FEDERAL RESERVE
 BANK CALLS CONFERENCE
 IN SAN FRANCISCO JAN. r

San Francisco, January H. One of the most important conferences ever held in the west has been called for January 17 at San Francisco by Gov ernor James K. Lynch of the Federal Reserve Bank. The principal speak CT will be Lewis B. Franklin, direc- tor of War Loan Organizations at Washington. Those who will attend the conference include Libetry Loan state chairmen, War Savings State Directors and women state chairnen from California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Alas ka and Hawaii.
 The governments financial prog ram will be explained and particular attention will be given to curb the ac- tivities of bond brokers who are ask ing the public to sell their Liberty
 bonds. "Hold your bonds" is the appeal of the government not only be- cause selling them now means sac rifice to original purchasers, but be- cause the government is embarrassed by fall in price due to numerous sales. Sale of bonds of the first four loans will impair the success of the Vic tory Loan.
 The San Francisco Chamber of Con- merce is planning luncheon to hon. or Franklin the day of the conference.
 Governor Lynch has announced the of w. w. Armstrong as chairman of the Utah Liberty Loan Committee to succeed Heber J. Grant, recently chosen president of the Nor man Church. Armstrong is presi- dent of the National Copper Bank in Salt Lake City and chairman of the finance committee of the Utah State Council of Defense.

CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE STATE FOOD
 ADMINISTRATION

Phoenix, Jan. IS Contributions to the Red Cross and other war charities aggregating $31S4.S0 have been made to date through the operation of the enforcement division of the food ad- ministration in Arizona, according to an announcement made today at state headquarters.
 Of this amount $2620 was in cash, $525 in bakery products and the bal ance consisted of 3S9 pounds of sugar. These donations were made from time to time by concerns and individuals who had violated the food regulations and were allowed to take this means of demonstrating their loyalty and of proving good faith in their promise to follow out instructions in the fu- ture.
 Though practically all of the former restrictions in the handling of food have been removed the enforcement work is being continued as a check against profiteering and all rules per- taining to margins of profit are still being retained.

Have been in some pretty close places and thought my time had come more than once. Needless to say, it is dangerous where so many people are shooting at you, with every kind of fire arm and heavy gun on earth.

MANAGING MOTHERS.
BY DOROTHY DIX.

tcopyrisht. iNs. ms Wheeler syaaicats,

When we Speak Of a woman as a
managing mother/ we use the term
as an epithet Of reproach. Il visua-
Lies to Us q stony hearted crsature
who lays traps for rich young men
to stumble into. and who sells her
daughters to the highest bidders IN,
the marriage market.
In reality, -ths mana ging mother
Is not the lowest type. but the highest
type Of intelligent motherhood, for
sacred than another that a mother
owes her daughters It u to assist them
In plotting their little boats through
the dangerous currents and shoals of
girlhood into 0 safe anchorage.
The majority Of women want their
daughters to marry. They believe
that woman Is happiest. and best
fulfills her duty In the world In the
domestic sphere. They know that a
good. kind. tender, loving husband
who can give his wife a comfortable
home Is Gods best gift to a woman.
Also they know that there is no
middle ground In matrimony. that a
home Is either Heaven or hell, and
that no woman II so to be pitied as
the one who has q brutal and selfish
husband. or q drunken and immoral
one, or even one who Is just plain no
account and can't make a living.
In this country mother cannot make
a match for her daughter. In the con-
ventional sense OF match making, but
IL she has any intelligence and discre-
ton she can understudy the fat boy
with the arrows. and she can at least,
be accessory before the fact Of whom
her daughters marry.
For one thing, she can see that f,er
daughters have their chance. To a
large degree this Is a matter OF clothes
and environment. A wise woman rec
ognizes the fact that from the time a
girl is nineteen until she is Is is her
day, and that she must make her
matrimonial hay while the sun Of
her youth shines.
And to enhance the sunshine she
must have as pretty clothes as 1t Is
possible to get her. Because goo,
clothes enable girl to go to places
to which she would never be invited
IL she were shabby or dowdy, for this
Is a selfish world that 10 mainly run
on looks. and nobody peers beneath a
homemade frock to see what a pure.
and virtuous, and noble heartIis beat
ing beneath II.
Likewise. the prudent mother takes
her daughter TO the places where
men do congregate. What's the use
in fishing in water In which there are
no fish.
And a mother can help her dauGh-
tcrs to secure good husbands by max
ing her home so pleasant and attrac-
tive that men like to come to II. or
she can drive men away by her inim-
icable attitude. or by her lack Of tact.

to take the trouble to make things
pleasant for daughters beaux. and
letting little brother hang around and
father monopolize the conversation.
For mother can either tole men in. or
drive them away.
Every mother should be a "mana-
Eing mother" But God send her wis
dom.
