about F by fl fl. I have visited this room every month for the last two years as I have a boy attending. I am really interested and anxious to see better conditions.
 During the whole period or the war. there was not an American flag in their room, and if they wanted to hear patriotic talk or program, they had to go to the Douglas grammar They had to go there for all thrift stamps and Baby bonds. When the Union High School turned out in a patriotic pa rade, and the students were given a holiday, the colored students knew nothing of the parade and reported for school as usual.
 But with all that we had a lad to volunteer in the person of James Ros- ser, age eighteen years. now a member of the fighting 10th Cavalry. At the end of the war, they did not discharge this young soldier. for in him they found just what Uncle Sam wanted, good material. His name has not ap- peared on the honor roll. At the close of school, June 5th, we have three young men to graduate They deserve more than a diploma, for it has been four years of hardships and humili- ations. We. the colored citizens
 We, the colored citizens, ask your as sistance in supporting the board to bet ter conditions for the colored students attending Phoenix Union High School.
 Respectfully,
 MRS. JESSIE I. JAMES,
 President of Douglas School P. T. A.

Where The People
 May Have a Hearing
The High School Bonds

PhOenlX, ArlZ., May 24. To the Citizens of Phoenix. Ariz.:
 In regard to the high school bonds that were defeated last Thursday, I must say that the colored citizens of Phoenix were very sorry, as they req lized that the honorable high school board would provide better accommo- dation for the colored children attend ing, if said bonds had been carried.
 We, as law-abiding citizens and tax payers of Phoenix, ask that the broad minded and we'll thinkers of the city, give the colored students attending the nigh school, more consideration. With an enrolment now of fifteen, and nine received certificates last week from the Douglas grammar, which will permit them to enter next September, the question is what will you GO with them? At the present time, the fifteen are being taught by one white teacher, who teaches all the subjects from first year English to laboratory work of the senior year. We realize that he is a wonderful teacher to handle all those subjects and do justice, although he sent his application in to the board as a mathematics teacher.
 1 do not think that when MT. Jacobs presented the segregation law, making It mandatory to segregate wherever there is one child of the African in the schools, and when that Mir. Irvine, now city commissioner, at that time one Of the twenty-two that voted for the bill to be passed, either of them stopped to think what should be done with the Af- rican children, do not think that any of the indicators of the bill has helped the board to plan way to give us equal accommodations. On one occas- ion, when our committee met with the board we were informed that we cost the board too much money, yet we are American citizens and pay taxes for our children to get what they do not receive.
 Our governors judges and lawyers sons are taking machine shop work for mere pastime. but the colored boys at tending high school cannot get the training, because there is not a class of fifteen. Under the present law the three that wanted to take the work were not allowed to work in the shop with the white boys. There were only six girls to take domestic science, the teachers wanted a class of twenty, and as the class did not increase to that number, the girl were given but five lessons, therefore losing their credits. When you support a bond issued by the Union High School board, you are merely helping the board to provide for the colored children through your seg- regation law. At present the fifteen are being taught in a basement room

The Salvation Army Drive

The drive for the Salvation Army will begin to- day. It will close or May 31. That is not very much time so that the most will have to be made of it.
 No doubt all citizens will come in. They have not had much opportunity in the past to help the salvation Army. About the only calls that have ever been made upon citizens those of the Sal vation Army kettles about Christmas time and the weekly calls of the Salvation Army assies for nckes dimes or quarters. Considering the great good the Salvation Army has done for the country, the of help it received was ridiculously small.
 We know more about the Salvation Army now, the whole world knows. Soldiers and others who were brought into contact with it in France grow weary of singing its praises. We all proud of it.
 We cannot do better than to repeat what Major General George Barnett of the marines has to say of the Salvation Army drive and the Salvation Army in France:
 Before sundown on the night of May 2S, the campaign workers for the Salvation Army Home Service Fund will have discovered that their task win not be difficult. By that hour the American pub lie will have given unmstakabe evidence of it's ad- miration and affection for the self-sacrifcing men women and children of this noble Army. The psgn will be surprisingly successful in spite of the repeated demands upon the publics generosity and purse during hostilities. and since the armistice signed,
 This confidence is based upon my observation in France during the closing days of the war and in this country during recent months.
 The hum of affection and praise that I heard from the lips of our soldiers coming out of the vic torous Mouse Argonne offensve-with the visions of doughnuts and coffee and the spirit of which these the outward symbols still fresh in their mem ory-has swelled to an assemble of love and grati- Jude that I hear on every hand 5000 miles from the of the Army's labors, And the crescendo in this song of humanity will be reached on May e. when the campaign opens
 As commandant of the marine corps whose officers and men daily giving testimony of what the Salvation Army workers dangerous and loving mnistrations them in the dark days of 1918 extend my heartest thanks to that organiza- tion and my best wishes to those Who are lending Assistance to it in the forthcoming campaign"
 And President Wilson says:
 T very much interested to know that the Sal a sustaining fund I feel that the Salvation Army needs commendation from me. The love and grati- Jude it has eliced from the troops is a sufficient evidence of the work it has done and feel that I should not so much commend it as congratulate it."
 The Elks are largely in charge of this drive As you may know, the Elks is not strictly religious organizaton but it has in with the Salvation Army, desire to help fellow creatures
 It is a sort of Ben Adhem. The Elks like the rest of us, did net really understand what the Sal vaton Army meant until got into action in France

The Place of the President

s That is rather groundess quarrel between the Massachusetts democrats and the Seattle democrats regarding the proper geographical place of the presi dent The former cabled him to come home and duce the of living. The latter the theory that Wherever the president may the proper place for him. wires him stay and hasten peace. To the rest of the country it will not appear that it will make much difference ss to either the cost of living world peace where the president is may be.
 No doubt. if the president had remained at home ty this time there would have been some kind of a peace treaty It might not have been very good one but cannot say that as result of the presidents sojourn in Paris the treaty we shall have, if some timetime we have one it will be any bettef
 We do not think the presence of the president in either place is so essential to this sion democrats Of Massachusetts and the faithful of Seattle think that the money either has wasted on catled advice might have been better expended in preparation for the approaching Fourth of July celebrations.
 The president will come home when he gets ready There is nothing could have done or can do to reduce the high of living unless it would be to order the government to quit interfering with business of which it has made so much of muddle but he could that from Paris as we'll as from Washington
 We fear that Inc more we attempt by legislation or executive direct changes of the level of II. C. L. the higher the level will go. We'll regulated competition will do relief than the presi- dent the cabinet and the congress combined.
 So far as formal peace is concerned our interest in hat is largely psychological There are, we under stand. some nineteen peace wars now in progress, though have not taken the trouble to count them @ taerx.s not one of them in which we ssave any

self. "F'lattery. Why even now, you're flattered because Tony Certeis calls your freak costume clever! And Certeis is flattered because he thinks you have taken pains to dress up this way just to amuse him."
 To be sure, had not dressed up aiust to amuse him l had made my self over as an experiment-to see if I could deceive him with my show girl tags. For if I could fool him, I could fool anybody with them. While I meditated, Dr. Certeis had been conferring with his people. He re turned to the room to propose that I go with him to inspect the ruined offices.
 I'm afraid I cant explore anything roubher than a rink in this tight skirt. Tony" I said as l shuffled across the room.
 Never in the world. I think. was another lover so quick to seize an op- portunity for silent love-making, Nv remark gave Certeis an excuse for talk ing my arm and helping me. He made the attention seem a joke. nevertheless I realized that he was delighted to be so near me.
 "Oh!" thought I. maybe that's the reason women adore these tight skirts so."
 But I didn't adore mine at all-it shackled me.
 Every morning since I left college. I have gone through some setting up ex- ercises before an open window. I may not be as Timber as Pavlowa. but am still fairly expert in the old athletic stunts. And how I have hated them. too, on freezing morningsl But I'd never let myself drop them from weak ness of will. I wouldn't humor my self so.
 Maybe I've been too snug some times about my agility" I thought as skated along in my stylish sheathe skirt, little guessing how my hard earned agility was to preserve my virtue.

Flattsry-The One Big Trump of Sex

Beguiling a man is a very easy task, but it has its dangers. Modern man is wary. He is liable to know his full value both as a permanent provider and as a transient entertainer. Some men appear to fall victims to the delightful little traps of sex which are set for them, but-they never are the ones to be tricked in the endi For some men, love is neither a sport nor an art--it Is barter, and @ serious business; and II they are thwarted or thrown down. It they find that love has not been fairly sWapped they go after revenge and some day they get it, as they would get any rival in shady business deal.

DELPHic ORACLE NOT FAKE

Doctor Hysop, former professor of logic and ethics at Columbia university. and now secretary of the Society of Psychical Research in America. has re- gently said that it is science which has held up psy chca research for so long He believes that the Dell phic Oracle was genuine medium, but because sci ence with its intolerance of the supernatural has dominated the world for three centuries spirualism has had practically chance. However, the war given to psychical research wider range than has heretofore been dreamed of
 The Delphie Oracle the most famous of the ancient oraces. Homer refers to it under the older name of Pytho, and records that Agamemnon con- suited it. The oracle was delivered by priestess known Pyths, who was believed 10 be inspired by the fumes arising from the mouth of a cavern over which she sat on golden tripod Her utter were put in metrical form by poets attached to the temple. These oracles vague as to be sus ceptibe of different interpretations and later times coored to suit political fancy. good example is the reply given to Croesus, when in doubt as to whether he should make upon the Persians, that in doing he would destroy a mighty ernpire' which proved to be his own.
