A Cure for ''Shell

THE American "caterpillar" tractor,
which was employed during the
war to haul the big guns, may, now that
its work in that direction is finished, be
made an agent in retaining the she'll
torn land. Popular Science" for March
tells us how:
"Thc devastated farms Of Europe may be
smoothed out and put under cultivation
again by the same power that helped de-
stroy them. American ingenuity, which
gave the Allied armies the scatcrpillar'
tractor to haul their great guns, has given
Western farmers big scale land lcvcllcr
that may be the solution Of the vast prob

her capabilities are in that direction,
there appears to be every prospect that

onpion is voiced as follows in 1.-The Jour

"War brought woman into industrial
chemistry. The draft of the men of the

Illinois Steel Company, in a statement
published in the February number of
"The Chicago Chemical Bulletin" Speak

Brady says:

K|WAN|S CLUB FIRST TO INDORSE BONDS
 FUR H|GH SCHOOL

The Kiwanis club at it's regular weekly luncheon yesterday noon went on record as being the first of the civic organizations of Phoenix to place itself behind the proposed issue of S700 900 worth of bonds for the improvement of high school facilities.
 A resolution endorsing the proposed bond issue was passed by the club unanimously, after a report from the committee which met with the high school board on the bond matter had been made to the club.
 The feature of the interesting pro- gram given al the Kiwanis luncheon was a talk by Captain Claude Decatur Jones on his experiences in the war Captain Jones told of the working Of the artillery service overseas and how ammunition for the fighting batteries was brought up to the front by motor truck and train under adverse condi- tions.
 An appeal for the support of the local Great Wan Veterans association was made by Captain Jones in his address, with a few remarks on the association itself and the work it is doing.
 It became apparent at yesterday s luncheon that the attendance contest the club has been staging the last three months had been won by the Reds For the contest the club had been divided into the Reds" and the Blues" and warm but friendly ri- valry developed between the two par ties. As a result of the struggle the "Reds' will dine next week at the eX- pense of the defeated Blues"

CHANDLER TO BUILD
 b|C MORMON CHURCH

CHANDLER, March 25.-Plans arc now being prepared for a handsome church, site and building to cost s20,- GOO, to be erected by the local ward of the Latter Day Saints of Jesus Christ. Three lots, 13S feet wide. have already been been secured on Ala bama street. just in the rear Of the Chandler garage, and a half block west of San Marcos park.
 While plans had been formulating for some time it was not until the visit here Monday of Huber J. Grant, president of the Salt Lake church and Bishop C. W. Nibley. the presiding bishop, that they crystalized into shape. President Grant, who made his first visit here six years ago. was so much impressed by the development of the district that he consented to permit an appropriation of Sf0,O00 by the Salt Lake presidency toward the building.
 Bishop Henry L. Peterson of the Chandler ward is naturally elated over the success of the ward in securing fhe appropriation. despite the fact that this is a small ward with 300 members, while there are much larger wards in the valley. It is the intention to start work as soon as the archi- tect can complete the plans, and il is hoped that the church will be ready for occupancy in the fall.
 President Grant and Bishop Biblev came here from Bisbee where they dedicated a church. They are making tour of thg4principaI stakes in the

PUBLIC PLAYGROUND NEEDED HERE, STATES
 TEACHER TO WOMEN

Time is coming when play will be classed as an essential part of school work This was the prophecy made by Miss Lulu Smith of the Monroe school in a talk on 'P1aygrounds" be- fore the Womans club yesterday. Miss Smith. who is an ardent advocate of supervised play, declared that games for both children and adults bring about conservation of mental, moral and physical vitality.
 The speaker pointed out the benefits to be derived from play. citing as an example the social development ac- quired through play
 "Play teaches the child the fine art of adjusting oneself to others" said Miss Smith as she told how a child learned, through play. to take defeat and endure victory" Tt creates a power to cooperate she continued. adding that another worth while fea- ture of games was the fact that the slow children might be transformed through the medium of playing.
 Miss Smith declafed that the object of the supervisor of playgrounds was to provide endless variety in each of the city school playgrouhds. Although the schools have grounds well equipped and supervised, Miss Smith sees the need of public playground which she would have established in the southern part Of the city for the direct benefit of the Mexican children. She believes that Phoenix has big opportunity to do it's bit of Americanization work in this way and urged that it take ad- vantage of the chance that is here.
 Ihe program was presented under the auspices of the civics education de- partment, and the musical features was given by Mrs. Norma Morrison who sang My Dear" by Salter and The Dansa," by Chadwick. Miss Merta Work was the accompanies.

 In 1914, Germany began her great war of conquest. In 1917 America en- tered the war; and won it for the allies, whose situation was then hopeless. Thus the allies became the conquerors and are now satiated with the vast amount of territory annexed. The al- lies. therefore. now make the absurd aIfd outrageous proposal that America shall guarantee their territorial in- tegrity.' In plain words that America shall undertake to protect their con quests by force of arms-America hay ing made no conquests and annexed no territory.
