 "Women are natural takers and their training for speaking before gatherings is largely a matter of put ting their talk into good form" she said. "A woman's subject in woman's field can be better presented by a woman, said Miss Byrne who does not by any means limit her work to men.
 The young woman, who is a grad uate Of the School of Expression of Boston and the Boston School of Pub lie Speaking, has worked extensively among children. having had kinder gsarten and story telling experience in the east before coming to Arizona. One of her engagements here is to tell stories at the Woman's club on Tues day afternoon when children's day will be celebrated. It will not be her first appearance here as she has given a series of readings before the club and also for the Shriners.
 The mind of the child is plastic,'' 7 said Miss Byrne in discussing the pleasure she derived from her work with children which brings ready re- sponse. When I have a mixed group to interest I always make a point of telling story that will appeal to the boys for the girls interest l find is much more general. A tale of reason able adventure, I do not mean the Jesse James sort of thing. but a boys story with real punch will meet with the enthusiastic appreciation of both boys and girls who are fond of action.''
 Miss Byrne is a firm believer in fairy tales the greatest value of which she says lies in the fact that the fairy fancies cultivate the imagination.

PlloeIlix at Last

Phoerlx is at last to have a modern, up-t0-the minute brick and tile plant. J. P-7kent. of the well known firm of Kent & Graves, structural engineers at 1l9 N. Second avenue will be at the head of the new company
 MT Kent says that, after exhaustive tests, covering period of six months, m which he was most ably assisted by MT. Geo. Diehl and Mr. Chas. Diehl, well known chemists and assayers of this city, he has proven positively that the aluminium clay deposit now in the hands Of this company is fully equal to. If not superior to the clay used by either the Los Angeles Pressed Brick Company or the Gallup. New Mexico, Fire Brick Company and will pro duce a pressed brick varying in color from a deep red to a very light cream. This will enable this company to pro- duce any grade and color of brick in- clud1ng white enameled brick, as well as hollow building and drainage tile Of the very highest quality.
 After a dfligent search of several months the company were unable to find any other clay deposits. of even a medium quality. available to railroad within q commercial shipping distance of Phoenix
 The value to the building trade in Phoenix of this new project is very ap- parent and the company own and con- trol every bit of this fine clay deposit Repeated atteApts have been made in the past to produce a commercial pressed brick and hollow building tile and failure after failure is directly traceable to the adobe clay used and to antiquated equipment. until eventually the pro- Ject had to be abandoned or simply reduced to nothing but common brick or a very poor quality, owing to the clay, and at a top price considering the quality.
 The present supply is very much be- low the demand pn building material in this valley and only common brick could heretofore be made. owing to the lack of suitable material. The entire supply of face brick and hollow tile is shipped in at freight cost of approx lmately S225-0O per carload. This cost will now be entirely eliminated. In addition to this. Mir. Kent says that a strictly up-to-date railroad tunnel Kiln for common brick will reduce the cost of production to a minimum and good profit can be made selling even at the present cost of burning in the old fashioned way. Mir. Graves of the firm of Kent & Graves, is now getting out plans for the Factory. which will De erected and put in operation at tLe earliest date possible. Several tracts or land are being considered as sites for the Factory which will have a ca pasity of 600.000 brick and 500 tons of tile per month.
 The project has the endorsement of some of the leading bankers and busi- ness men of this valley and should have the unanimous endorsement and support of everyone interested in .he future growth of the Salt River valley Cheaper building material means aS greater Phoenix and better homes throughout the valley Let's get to- gether and get this Factory going in treater Phoenix, keep our building money at home and add one more sub stantial industry to the best city in Arizona Boost for a Greater Phoenix. which boosts your own best interests
