MERRY-GO-R0UND FOR CHINA
Celestial, Long Resident in Hawaii,
Has Planned Triumphant Return
to His Native Land.

Twelve years ago Chang Chau coiled
his queue on top Of his head, dOnned
the garb of the Occident in order to
facilitate speed, and hied himself out
of China between two suns. Chang
Chau had made a bad guess and had
allied himself in 1907 to the forlorn
hope of DR.. Sun Vat Sen, late presi-
dent of China but in that year over
whelmingly defeated by the troops of
the Manchu dynasty. SO it was that
Chang Chau arrived in Honolulu. But
the ManchuS now are no more, and,
take it from Chang, his is to be
triumphal return.
He has bought merry-go-round,
which for untold years has been add
ing to the hilarious enjoyment OF
Hawaiian natives, and intends to set
it up in Picking, an exchange says,
Before many moons the blatant wall
of "Je-er- u-us-s-alem-Je-e e-e-r-u-u-
s-s-alem," will be floating out from the
mechanical organ of the giant swing
and mingling with the thousand other
noises of the Orient, while staid Chi
nese mandarins rock dignifiedly on the
gaudy wooden horses, their queues and
robes flying out behind them as they
make the dizzy circuit. Cynics might
be tempted to say that Changes return
smacks something Of revenge.

of about 71,5OO,0OO acres, which is
equivalent to the combined area of the
states of New York and Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, Connecticut and New

two alleged l. w. w. members held in
the city Jail can starwe if they choose.
The city council today voted to take no
action on the hunger strike of the men,
following report from Frank Carna-
han, assistant city attorney, that the
city cannot be held responsible.
The men, who went on hunger strike
yesterday morning, have not touched
food for AZ hours. They also refuse to
talk with their jailGrs.
While the strikers have refused to
state the cause of their refusal to eat,
it is understood that they are protest
ing against being detained in the city
Jail. They had asked to be transferred
to the county Jail, where additional al
legged l. w. WIS are held, but this was
refused because the cells there are full.
The strikers left their breakfast and
lunch untouched today after having
refused three meals yesterday, includ-
ing Thanksgiving dinner with turkey.

shop has made a speciality of building

For 10 years the city of Phoenix has
been growing. For that length of
time hundreds of homes have been
built here. Not more residences, for
there is a distinction between a resi-
dence and a home. Without homes a
city cannot prosper, and without an
organization which aids in the creation
OF homes, there can be no greater
Phoenix.
The organization which has been
doing so much to foster the home
spirit in Phoenix has, been in exist
ence for practically ten years. For a
decade the Home Builders. organized
10 take over the interests of the Phoe-
nix Building and Loan association, has
been aiding the man of moderate
means to secure his own home. During
that period the Home Builders has
grown with the city. The prosperity
of Phoenix with its great thriving in
terests is reflected in the organiza-
ton which is now rated near the
three-quarter million mark They
have built n million dollars worth of
homes and created that much content.
At the head of the Home Builders
is r. II. Greene who for nearly thirty
years has been identified with several
enterprises OF lnlS description. Mr..
Greene first came to Phoenix in 1889,
from Peoria, Illinois. where he had
been interested in a building and loan
association. In November, 1889, he or
ganiezd the Phoenix Building and
Loan association, and proceeded to
create some of the best homes the city
had seen up to that time. For "a
years this association lived and pros
pered, when a ruling was made by the
attorney general that such associations
, should pay dividends on their capital
stock, thus decreasing its earnings
materially.
From out of this difficulty was
born the Home Builders, whose capital
Is invested in real estate. The two
companies were merged, and today
the Home Builders stands eminent
as the one big successful institution
OF its kind in the state. II has grown
and prospered and behind this growth
and prosperity lies the romance OF
building homes. From the happiness
Of others has the Home Builders ac-
quired it's strength. 1t has given ar
impetus through its easy terms to tht
growth of the city and its patrons have
appreciated It, for after nine years o.
operations not a single building is lef
on its hands, returned on account o
failure to comply with payments, ant

there are no contracts which are not
satisfactory.
To the average person in Phoenix
who sees a sign in a window on North
First avenue reading Home Builders
it is not apparent that the renters
of this concern includes the operation
of building and loan association, the
largest planning mill in the state, and
a blacksmith shop which employees
number of men doing nothing but
building bodies for trucks.
Every bit of interior wood work put
into a Home Builders house is
created in the planning mill just off
of South Central avenue near the
Santa Fe tracks. There is not a bit
OF wood work which goes into house
which cannot be created there. At the
present time the company has no
sash and door machine, but it has been
ordered and Is on the way. AS soon
as it is installed, they will have the
most complete planning mill in the
southwest.
Several months ago the old mill
operated by the company was de-
stroyed by fire. AS an example of the
/ efficiency of the Home Builders it
might be noted that within less than
4 a week after the fire. the company
was again operating that end of its
| business at normal This was done by
/ Immediately putting up temporary
/ building just in the rear of the one
/ destroyed, and by renting a small
| planning mill in the eastern part OF
! the city then not in operation.
The new plant is as complete anc
modern as it can be made. Prior t
its erection the board Of underwriters
approved the plans for the brick ant
concrete building. Following its com
F.. pletion the wooden portion Of thu
building was painted with a fire pre-
tentative, and an elaborate system o.
protective appliances installed.
In order that the employees Of thu
plant may have the greatest amour
of protection, every safety devic'
known has been installed. The shaft
which carry innumerable belts, are al
underground. There are no overhead
| shafts in the mill. The machinery o
the plant has been arranged so tina
upon entering the place. a piece o
lumber goes from one. machine to an
other finally reaching the other end o
the mill, ready to be put into SOM
form of interior wood work. A larg
stock of hardwood is carried on ham
at all times. Not single stick of
is used until it has been thorough.

dried and seasoned.
Although the major portion of the
rough lumber used in the erection of
a home is purchased in Phoenix from
local lumber yards, it is to the Home
Builders mill that the lumber men
turn when they want the finished pro-
duct. They do a large amount of
custom warl1 for other building con-
Germs.
The cabinet department of the mill
where a number of cabinet makers
are kept busy all the time is where the
finished product comes from. Plans
for every house built by the Home
Builders are turned over to the mill
superintendent. He figures out the
amount and kind of inside wood work
demanded, and sets his cabinet makers
at work. They are equipped to do
every kind of work required and in
the past have turned out some of the
! finest examples of the cabinet makers

MRS. TREFON CONSTANTINE
RETURNS FROM GREECE

The citizens of Tarpon Springs will
remember with pleasure Miss Hattie
Harlow of this city, who married Ire
fon Constantine several years prior to
the outbreak of the world war. Ire
fon will be remembered as the propri-
etor of the old racket store on Tarpon
avenue near the Old Reliable drug
store, which was closed out under the
bankruptcy laws, under what was by
some considered questionable circum-
stances. Trefon got tangled up in
the federal courts and jumped his
bond by leaving the country and going
to Greece, taking his family, consist
ing of his wife and two little girls,
with him. In that country another
child was born which died while a
baby. Soon after, the second little girl
was burned to death by catching fire
to her clothing in some accidental
way. Constantine did not treat his
wife well, trouble arose and a separa-
ton took place. Mrs. Constantine
then supported herself and only re-
naming child by running a restaurant
on Imbrose island, near the entrance
to the Dardanellos, undergoing much
hardship and privation. After being
separated from her husband about a
year and half, she succeeded. by
the assistance of the Salvation Army
and the Red Cross, in getting passage
aboard French vessel to Tunis where
she remained for some time, finally
landing at Paris. Here Mrs. Constan-
thu cared for herself and child by va
rious kinds Of work and through the
assistance of the Salvation Army and
Red Cross. She succeeded in reach
ing this country about two weeks ago,
accompanied by her oldest and only
living child, little girl, born in this
city before leaving for Europe. She
is now living with her sister, Mrs.
Gertrude Houcharde of Clearwater.
Trefon is still somewhere in Europe,
being a fugitive from the laws of the
United States.
The story of Mrs. Constantine is
narrowing in the extreme. It reflects |
one of the pictures of mans selfish |
ness and hardened conscience bred of |
greed and sin. Miss Hattie Harlow
was the niece of Miss Julia Harlow,
one of the most respected citizens of |
this place. Her friends, while griev-
ing for her suffering and humiliation,
are glad to welcome her back to her
old home.
