 The premium list covers a wide range of exhibits for which handsome cash prizes have been offered.

The booklet also contains all information concerning the me thod and manner of making en- tries and the requirements in each of the several classes, to gether with much general infor- nation regarding the fair itself. One cannot help being convinc- ed after perusal of it's contents that the 1919 fair is going to be of surpaSsing magnitude and re- plete with interests in every de- partment.
 Of especial interest are the prizes to be offered and the ex- hibits planned for the women's department, with special atten- tion paid to the subject of home economics, science of the kitchen and scientific home making, all of which subjects are regarded as of growing importance by the thrifty housewives of Arizona.
 The women's department will be under the direction of Mrs. W. w McNeff, who urges that no time should be lost by those intending to make entries in securing the premium lists, that they may devote their spare hours during the next 2 months in the making and preparation of their examples of handicraft.

RUSS GIRLS WHO
RESIST TORTURED

LONDON, March PA tragic and
lurid picture Of the Bolshevik stroci-
ties on women was given today in an
Interview with Mrs. Emmeline Psnk-
hurst, who has just returned from
Paris; where she obtained frst-hand
reports from people who have recent
Iy come from Russia.
1.-THE head Of the Russian Red
Cross told me" she said, that the
Bolsheviks served notices on young
women to present themselves At a
given time at barracks to remain
there so long as they are needed by
Bolsheyik soldiers and officials. II
they refuse, they are subjected to
the most horrible punishment
They have Chinese eaecutioners.
The women are logged, and they
have a practice of breaking their
legs between the knee and the
ankle, choppinE of hands, and COM
hitting other Chinese tortures.
Regarding the naturalization OF
women for civilian purpose, an Amer
lean Y. NJ. c. A. secretary told me
this applied principally to women OF
the bourgeoise. the Bolsheviks not
wanting TO offend the laboring
classes too much. The Y. NJ. C. A.
worker said that where he lived,
hundreds OF young women, refugees
from prominent families, were arriv-
ing constantly to escape this terrible
thing.
This man asked A BoIshevik Of
fetal in Moscow: i know a man
who has 10000 roub'es Have l the
right to take his roubles?r
"'Certa inly.' the official replied.
He has a pretty wife also. How
about her? q,
"'Certainly.' was the reply.

met with marked success, should not
be eliminated. he added. Unification
Of terminals he would retain. for in
stance. Coordination and cO-opera-
/ ton with, at the same time, the right
sort Of competition, should be made
permanent
The powers Of the Interstate Com

so as to give that body the same juriS
diction over waterways that il has

CRITICAL SHORTAGE OF
HOUSES IN BIG CITIES
Reports From Large Ccntcrs of
Population Throw Light on
Situation.

New York, June 5.-A critical
shortage OF homes in all big cities
and their suburbs is reported by cor
respondents of the Sun, says the New
York Sun. Some cities are more
forward than others in getting their
inevitable building programs start
ed, but few have passed the "eXpec-
tation" stage. The serious situation
in New York, to which the recon
struction commission and other
agencies are now giving attention, is
duplicated proportionately in other
large industrial centers. Everywhere
building contracts are more numer-
'ous than they have been at any time
since the war put Quietus on them
but do not begin to meet the de-
nands of the clamoring populations.
AS Illuminating a sidelight as any
comes from Milwaukee. The storage
warehouses of that city are Jam
med. Their space" says the cor
respondent, ''is all occupied by fur
-niture belonging to persons who
moved from one house and were un-
nble to find another. Instead of Of
fers OF houses to rent the newspapers
are filled with advertisements offer
ing bonuses or $40 TO $25 for in

the rental of house or fiat"
Philadelphia needs 1000 houses
and cannot build more than 1000
this year. Pittsburg is short from
10000 to Is, 900 houses and sees no
immediate prospect of getting them
In Detroit $4,000 families are look
ing for roofs under which to lay
their heads, and their number is in
creased by % families moving into
the city every day. In Cleveland
homes for 5000 families would be
occupied instantly if they were
built. Milwaukee needs 1000 new
dwellings. Chicago reports that the
erection of apartment houses is 80
per cent below that of last year and
86 per cent below that Uf 1919. The
building OF separate dwellings has
trbled but is far from catching up
with the requirements.
Everywhere outside of New York
the greatest untitled demand Is for
small detached houses. Several cit
les report that a fair number of very
expensive and very cheap apartments
are to be had, but nothing between
those extremes. Unable to find
homes of their own, great many
families have flocked TO boarding
houses, lodging houses and hotels
In Detroit they are resorting to tents
