FLUENzA OUTLOOK
 IN MESA IS WORSE

MESA, Jan. 22-The influenza situ- a,ion in Mesa is a little worse than it W1s d week ago. according to a state mcnt made yesterday by Dr. J. E. pranc, city health officer. There has been slight increase in the number of cases. but in the main the nature ut the attacks is mild. Strict quaran- time in all cases is being enforced. There seems to be a far greater preva- lcncc of the disease through the coun- uN adjacent than in the town.
 ii. F., Matthews, superintendent of schools, s;ys that there are more pu- pils out oC the high school due to Wtluonza than lu the grades. though the total number Of pupils in the lar- ter is far greater. In q talk 10 the high school yesterday Mr Matthews stated that most Of the cases in the school where traccable at all, had been traced tu the dances being held here. The poor ventilation, together with the exhausted condition of the young peU- lle, who arc usually needless of the extent to which they engage in the dance. is, in the opinion of the super ntendent, largely conducive to the spread of the epidemic. In proof of this, he states that the number of grade pupils now kept at home through illness is fewer than at this time last year, Very close watch is being kept over the pupils who attend school, and upon the first symptom of illness Of iny sort they are immediately sent home until clean bill of health can he given them. Attendance at the grade schools is increasing, although the fact that no children are allowed in school where there is even one case of influenza in the home tends to keep the attendance down. Meanwhile, it can be said that the health board of the town of Mesa is doing it's best, and Dr. Drane, physician in charge, is con scientioUsly using every effort to maintain the health standard of the town.

FAMOUS GARDENS OF
HISTORY DISCUSSED

The spiritual history OF the world
centers around the garden Of Eden.
the garden of Gethsemane, and the
garden of God. or Paradise" said the
Rev. J. ]. Muir. preaching last night
on Three Notable Gardens" in Tenn
pie Baptist Church.
In the garden of Eden occurred
mans fall and it's resulting unfuI-
fillment Of Gods plans for the future
oi his creatures. 1t was the frs,
spiritual disaster to the race and
without the helping hand of God
would have meant the loss of ali
hope OF regeneration.
The sorrowful moments OF Christ
IN the garden of Gethsemape
brought with them mans recovery.
and placed him once more in the
lavor OF God. The sufferings of
Christ as the Son OF God became the
saving remedy to the disinheritance
OF men in the garden of Eden.
once man was reinstated in the
favor of God. he was able once more
10 win for himself the reward OF the
garden OF God. and attain his f1nai
salvation in heaven. Unless Christ
had paid the debt man contracted
with God in disregarding the divine
mandate in the garden of Eden, mere
human endeavor to reach heaven
would have been in vain. 1t is in
the second garden that the possible
ity of salvation lost in the garden
or Eden was renewed so that man
could reach his real destiny - para

SCORE LADY ASTOR

New York. Nov. 30.-The almost
universal acclaim which has greet
ed Lady Astor's election from Ply
mouth to the British house of COM
mons. finds no echo in anti-suffrage
circles. Leaders of the National
Association Opposed to Woman
Suffrage tonight declared that Lady
Astor's election by tremendous ma
jority is but another manifestation
of the social unrest sweeping the
world. and said that her victory
will have no permanent influence
upon British or American politics
Lady Nancy Astor is q middle
aged political free lance. and her
election to the British house OF
commons is due merely to the un-

lean woman of stunning wealth

woman's amusing. dazzling person
ality plus her sex appeal. and the
emotional state of mind of the
British voting populace. Her cleo
tion will go down in the history
OF English politics as a freak ad-
venture.

CRUCIFIXION THEME
OF BRIGGS ADDRESS

The Tragedy OF the Cross" was the
topic of a sermon last night by the
Rev. DIR. John L. Briggs in the Fifth
Baptist Church.
Like all great tragedies" he said.
the tragedy of the cross had its spec
tators. and in keeping with its i'm
portance, we find them types of all
persons who have ever watched a
scene Of sorrow. At the foot Of the
cross we find John the Disciple. whom
Christ appointed to watch over His
mother. but the others had deserted
their Master in the hour OF need. Just
as 1t happens with others who suffer.
Christ was left alone with only a few
Of His faithful friends. Besides His
mother. Mary Magdalene. who had
won the compassion of the Master.
was there as also the other Mary of
whom the gospel speaks.
Then there were soldiers present
and unknowingly they engaged in a
petty gambling game for the clothing
of Christ. How often men follow
wrong or frivolous pursuits when they
may have the greatest opportunity of
their lives for gaining their salvation!
Only one. a Roman centurion. express
ed his conviction that Christ must be
more than man."

"MORAL ICICLES" ARE
DESCRIBED IN SERMON

God condemns merely negative
goodness because It Is unproductive
of good" declared the Rev. DR..
Herbert F. Randolph. pastor of
Foundry NJ. e. Church, last night
in his sermon on 'sThe Man Who
Makes No Mistakes"
The story of the Prodigal Son
who returned after q mis-spent life
to receive the cold greeting of q
selfish brother who refused to re-
joice with the old father at his
sons return. furnished the material
for the speakers remarks. "The
brother who had stayed at home
with all his moral superiority over
the returned prodigal did not find
as much favor in the eyes of God
or man." he said.
There is a French proverb which
tells us the man who makes no
mistakes makes nothing and we
nnd it borne out in fact in our in
dustrial, home and church life. The
man who never errs escapes max
ing mistakes because he has not
attempted what would put him in
danger of erring.
Walk through the clean and or
derly factory and more often will
you find its neatness due to its
small production. The home which
mas no little ones in II to cause
disorder may be a pleasing sight,
out 1t has not fulfilled the pur-
pose OF its existence. The church
where all is peace and quiet may
inspire one with lofty thoughts,

CRIME WILL INCREASE
PASTORS PREDICTION

Ascribing the present crime-wave
to lawless tendencies inculcated by
the war and to disturbed economic
conditions, the Rev. l. NJ. Powers.
in the Universalist Church last
night declared that mot for 100
years have life and property been
SO unsafe as at the present time"
"All who are acquainted with his
tory knew that the war would re-
suit in lawlessness that 1t would
take years to overcome" he said.
Nations set an example OF large
scale wickedness and find approval
in ministers of religion. 1t is not
strange then that the foundations
'of morality are weakened and the
people react to the familiarity with
wholesale killing sanctioned by au-
thority.
The disturbance of economic
conditions constitute another cause
for the abnormal state of socIelS.
Crime is a barometer which indi-
Gates economic mal-ad justment.
Imposing severe penalties on
crime will not deter persons from
committing unlawful acts. The bet
ter remedy is to inquire the certain
ty of detection and bringing this
about lies in the increased efficiency
of our police the guardians of law
and order"

IA reply to the informal statement
given out by Secretary Glass Friday
OF oata on the profits OF bituminous
coal operators. The data was furnish
ed the Secretary by experts of the
Internal Revenue Bureau,
Mr.. Morrow's reply says in part:
Calls Figures Ridiculous.
The memorandum is apparently
Dased on a casual inspection of the re-
turns or certain Individual coal COM
panies. From these individual in
stances the impression Is clearly given
That the industry In 1917 made "fabul-
Gus profits." with average returns on
invested capital Of from 100 to $50 per
cent 1t is true that the foregoing
statement refers only to the operators
East OF the Mississippi. but they pro-
duce nearly 80 per cent of the total
bituminous output.
Certain individual concerns may
have made such profits. but not the
industry as a whole. and as the Fuel
Administration has pointed out. fair
ness demands consideration of the in
dustry as a whole.
For the entire bituminous indus

upwards of 81 500 600 OOO According to

the total gross receipts OF the opera
tors for all the bituminous coal pro-
duced in 1917 was only s1.eie, 272. .s37
Hence the total gross receipts. before
deducting operating expenses. were
less than the total profits which would
have to be made out Of those receipts
to Justify the statement Of your ex-
perts. This indicates the ridiculous
nature OF their casual generaliza-
tions.
The statement respecting the prof
Its in 1913 Is even worse. The memo
