SAYS WORK IN NEM
 MESA HIGHWAY TO
 START IN SIXTY DAYS

There will probably be a gang con- structing the Mesa Tempe road within less than 50 days said State Engineer Thomas Maddock last night '"The state highway department has today received a wire from J. S. Bright, dis trict engineer for the bureau of post roads at Denver, stating that the plans and specifications for this road job have been accepted and will be sent to Washington.
 The highway department has been advised that the only change made in the specification was by the bureau of post roads increasing the depth of the bitulithic pavement from six to seven inches, to equal, in their opinion, six inch solid concrete base and War renite top. The highway department had been of the opinion that four inches of concrete topped with two inches of Warrenite was fair type of road to compare with six-inca concrete road, but have been overruled by the bureau, which places the speci- fications at five inches of cement and two inches of Warrenite.

CHIEF TAHAN TEACHES BOYS TO MAKE FIRE BY FRICTION WITH "MOTHER-PIECE" AND "FTRE-STICK"

Well, here is my old hearth piece with holes burned in it. A long time ago the Indians called this the Moth er- Piece" or Good Mother" Next, here is my fire stick, or drill You can see that it is not smooth, but that it has several corners on it. The old time Indians used to call this stick The Kind Father One Now then I put the string of the fire-bow once around the stick-you see that all the time the string is tied to each end of the bow; and now I put this little stone with a piece in it to fit over the top of the drill, with little grease in it so that it will not take fire at that end when I begin to work the bow. Now l take the little stone in my left hand on top of the drill take the end of the bow in my right hand. But first | put this powdered cedar bark under the notch of the Mother -Piece"-now then, I put the end of the drill on the notch, and all is ready to begin See, l push the bow from me, draw it back, keep on doing that, faster and faster now watch. See the smoke? Wait a little. There now, there is a spark on the powdered bark under the notch and the end of tSe drill. Now--wait- a-moment till I blow wtth-my breath. There. we have blaze. Now I'll put some of this dry grass and twigs on it, and pretty soon we'll have d good fire
 The long ago. time Indians believed that fire is a thing that has life like an animal-that 1t is a kind of an ami nal thing. for it eats almost anything you give it. They believe that it has been inside the wood ever since the Tunderbird up in the sky batted his eyes so fast that much fire Oightning) came out of them and struck q tree. When the old time Indian made his fire by friction he sang his fire song or prayer, to his God, that the "Mys- tery-animal' might be born of the Father Mother wood sticks" No mat ter how much fire there was in the will lage he always made a new fire by friction for his religious ceremonies.
 1t used to be a law that when a messenger approached a camp at night he had to carry torch to show that he was friend. For they said that a friend was not afraid to be seen in the fire-shine, and that a good man would always carry his light with him.

CHINESE EMPEROR
 FOLLOWED THE FLOW
jAsia Magazine)


 In recognition of the importance oi Chinese agriculture the emperor him self. in the days of the empire, fol lowed the wise custom of turning furrow of ground once a year in the sacred precincts of the Temple of Heaven at Picking. It is the farmer still who is the truest representative of Chinese society and the farmers baby who carries on the tradition ir it's soundest aspects. His life as he grows up may be narrowly circum- scribed by the mud walls of his hum ble matched home. which he shares indiscriminately with the pigs and live stock; the rise and fall of dynasties or republics trouble him not at all.
 If the year passes with no devastat ing floods, wrecking the results of many months labor, food will be sui ficient; no more can be asked.
 Now and then strolling actors come through the village and set up their grass-mat theaters; story teller makes his appearance at the temple festival, recounting the strangely liv- ing deeds of miraculous beings in cen turies long since harvested; itinerant traders. their wares on their backs pass down the ep-sunken road, bringing the gossip of the outer world
 If life is lived according to the ire ducible denominator it is not wholly barren. There is the vast accumulated thought of the past, the immeasurable world of the countless dead, toward which the present reaches out like a ring ever widening toward eternity.

AMERICAN HALF-CENT PIECES

Joseph Powell, the curiosity shop keeper at the zoo. has added collec- tion of United States half-cent coins to his already large coin exhibit. They date from 1900 to 1856. The govern ment stopped coining half cents a good many years ago, but they are still real money and will be accepted at their face value. Of course, the fact that half cents are now worth 9 cents to 75 cents each, because of their scarcity, is another matter.
