BOY INJURED; HIT
IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Forgetting that automobiles some
times travel in pairs, Jesus Martinez,
IA years old, turned his bicycle back
into Grand avenue yesterday after
noon after an automobile had passed
him, only to meet the full impact of a
Ford truck driven by Walter Jones,
Glendale rancher. who was following
the first machine.
Martinez was dashed to earth, and
picked up a moment later in a semi
conscious condition by Jones and his
brother who accompanied him. An
examination by DIR. j. NJ. Pearson of
Glendale, TO whose office the boy was
taken, revealed a five-inch cut in his
head, and possible fracture of the skull.
He was brought to st. Joseph's hospi-
tai in Phoenix. where he was ex-
amined by DR.. Harry Carson, county
physician.
Dr. Carson stated last night that
he did not believe the boy was SER
iously injured, and that for the pres
ent at least, he would not operate.

LONDON SEXES EMPTY HOUSES

Southwark is the first place in Lon
don to make start with the ministry
of health's plan for taking possession
of unoccupied houses and converting
them into flats as a means of relieving
the housing congestion.
The ministry of health act gives the
department the power to make use Of
empty buildings in this way, either in
consultation with the local authorities
or independently where these are
showing insufficient enterprise in
housing. In London the stage reached
is that all the boroughs have now pre-
pared lists of the houses in their dis
tricts suitable for conversion. 1t may
seem odd that there are any empty
houses to convert, but as matter Of
fact there is q very large number,
usually urage, old houses that have
come down in the world and can no
longer be let as they are, which would
well repay conversion into flats.
The owners of many of them will not
consent to any interference with their
property, but there are now legal pow
ers to see that the public necessity
overrides merely personal objections
The cost of the alterations will be
borne by the local authorities, who will
let the flats at an economic rent, if
possible
The ministry is at present examin-
ing the many government hostels
throughout the country that are no
longer wanted for war purposes, with
the view of finding how far they can
be used for housing families. If this
can be arranged it would be much
quicker way of relieving the housing
situation than altering empty houses.
Some of these hostels are large places
and could accommodate thousands of
people. Some of the biggest of the hos
tells are in London. Many of them, of
course, which were put up to accommo-
date munition workers, are not suit
ably placed for housing people in peace

Old Stunts That
Are Ever New

The canny hostess never supplies
too much of any one thing unless the
affair is of set" nature such as a
musical, dance or card party.
On any special occasion as in the
instance of a Halloween party thez
success of the evening lies in keeping
things moving. Stunts are the order
of the day. Here are few sugges-
tions:
The Tree of Knowledge.
Supply each guest with a piece of
bright red sealing wax, and a cup or
shallow bowl of ice water. The wax,
is then melted and then dropped
through a key or a ring "a wedding
ring if possible) into the water. II
will instantly harden in branch like
formations, supposed to be prophetic
Any ingenious person will interpret
the shapes, and furnish much amuse-
ment for his listeners; thus, a bell
shaped drop indicates wedding within
a year, anything resembling a torch or
lamp indicates fame, horn of plenty.
wealth, ETC., etc. y
The Needle Game.
Each guest is supplied with
creased needle, and all are floated on
large pan of water. Impelled by
magnetic attraction the needles will
behave very curiously; some of them
cling together while others will rush
to the margin and remain there. The
manner in which one persons needle
behaves toward another causes much
amusement, and is supposed to be sug-
gestive.
Who Is He-She?
Cut alphabets from old newspapers
and place them in bowl. Each guest
one at a time, takes out a small hand :
full and throws it on a wide surfaced
pan of water like confetti. The letters
that float will suggest the name of
the persons future husband or wife.
The Ghostly Hand. z
Stuff an old kid glove with rags or
paper. Then wet the outside with ice
water. Then invite the guests singly
into a darkened room to meet the pre-
siding spirit of the evening. The per-
son operating the glove contrives to
have the guest take in his or her hand.
An ever better method is for the
operator to put wet glove on his own
hand and grasp the hand of each per-
son with it. The clammy, creepy
feeling of being touched with cold
wet glove will get rise out of most
anybody

finished product from such goods, or
the repacking for distribution, without
being subjected to import or export
charges.
The free port zone is necessarily an
inclosed district or area, within which
the industries or warehouses for open
ing, asserting and repacking goods are
maintained. Such goods landed in the
free port zone as may later be shipped
into the country in which the zone is
located would be subject to all of the
usual customs or other governmental
charges that would have been made if
entered in the usual manner.
Seattle and San Francisco both have
taken steps to create free port zones,
and several cities on the Atlantic sea-
port have done the same. The govern
ment assumes responsibility for po-
Icing and guarding the inclosed area
to safeguard it against violations of
the export and import regulations.

LIMITATIONS OF THE CENSUS

(Mllwaukee JournaL)
One hears of remarkable changes
in the relative size of cities to be re-
vealed next year. All but the first
three in the country are to change
rank, it is predicted. City growth has
been enormous. These things always
command place; size is a good adver-
tisement, and the city which drops
behind comes in for sympathy and ex-
PLANTATION.
How long is this going to be? When
are we going to have a schedule which
ranks cities for something that means
more than size and congestion? Is it
not worth more to residents that a
city shall advance in its care of hu-
man life, in its standard of living, in
its efficiency in making taxes pro-
mote public good? Growth is worth
while; stagnation is bad. But we have
cities which have grown so much fast
er than they have learned how to live
that the sight of their monotonously
stretched out rows of tenements and
the ever renewed clamor of their riots
and disorders go far to destroy the i'm
posing percentage in the population
column once in ten years.

FREE PORT ZONE FOR MANILA

The government of the Philippine Is
lands has taken steps to improve port
facilities at Manila, and it is antici-
pated that the next session of the leg
islature will enact a law to authorize
establishment of a free port zone at
that point. This information is con-
tanned in a letter to the Portland
Chamber of Commerce from the Phil
ippine commercial agency at San
Francisco, maintained by the depart
ment of commerce and communica-

PETER
Is Surprised At
Tommy


The Palmer children were playing
Doctor" with DR.. Peter Palmer as
chief doser and they begged the wheel
chair from Mamma as Patty had a
broken leg. Mamma consented and
Peter was wheeling his very lively
patient across the floor to have her
leg bandaged, when Prissy broke out
in loud bowls and Peter stopped to see
what the trouble was.
Peter had run over Tommy the
horned toad. Patty forgot that she
was supposed to have broken leg
and jumped out to add her walls to
Prissy's. There he lay, flat as a PAN
cake with his eyes shut.
Prissy fixed him a coffin out of a
match box and Patty picked some
golden-rod to decorate the grave that
Peter was digging under the lilac,
Then they all assembled for the fu-
neral. But the corpse was calmly
catching flies in the screen door.

Blanco and Wilson, who went to the
scene of the accident Immediately.
Martinez lives on Lateral 16, half
mile north of Grand avenue, and is
believed to have been on his way into
Glendale at the time. When he had
reached point on Grand avenue about
six miles distant from Phoenix, he
turned out to the left to allow an au-
tomobile to pass him. After it had
passed, without turning to look be-
hind, he turned back into the road.
Walter Jones and his brother, fol-
lowing the first machine in their Ford
truck, presumed that he would remain
out of the road until they too had
passed, and in a vain endeavor to avoid
him, ran their car to the extreme right
of the road and into the ditch bank
almost wrecking the car.
The Jones brothers are ranchers liv-
ing near to Glendale.

FEELINGS OF ATLANTA
"SUFFS' ARE RILED
ONE MAN TOLD THEM This is
DAY THE STATE OF GEORGIA
GOES TO HE'LL"

ATLANTA, Gait was somewhat
natural that Lueian Harris, son of
the late Joel Chandler Harris, county
tax collector of Fulton county and
registrar for the city of Atlanta,
should figure that women would not
feel hurt when they came to his Of
fee to register for the city white
primary, a privilege given them by
the city executive committee, if he
should kindly omit to ask them their
age.
Some Of them appreciated this
thoughtful bit of courtesy on the part
of the genial Mr.. Harris, but other
suffragettes were seriously affronted.
They took it in the nature of a sop
to their traditional feminity, which
riled their feelings instead of pleas
ing them. They asserted that the
day is passed and gone when wo-
man relishes the old fashioned cloy-
ing and coying and fondling and pet
ting. What they want today is to be
treated like human beings who have
mentalities all their own.
But probably the most amusing in
cident of the opening day for women
registrants was the outraged behav-
Tor of a little man who dashed in
to the court house with fire in his
eye and demanded to know if his
wife had registered.
Little Whipper-Snapper."
elias my wife registered? Has my
wife registered?" he demanded in
the lobby, seeming to address himself
to all and sundry of Lucian Harris
clerks at work behind their respect
i've windows.
When nobody answered the little
man it seemed to make him mad.
Striding boldly and angrily over to
the window occupied by Lucian Har-
ris he demanded the privilege of
looking at the list of names of wo-
men who had registered. Mr.. Harris
good naturally handed him over the
list.
The little man grabbed and Slam
med the leaves as fast as his fingers
would work. He was mad and he
didn't care who knew it. The litter
ing of suffragettes standing in line
did not in the least disturb his An
CORA 1t only made him madden and
more determined to assert his pre-
rogative as lord and master. Final
ly he finished examining the list of
names, hung on a filing hook for
purposes of temporary convenience,
and slammed it back on Mr.. Harris
window counter, apparently satisfied
that his meek and obedient spouse
had not violated his orders and gone
behind his back on covert errand to
the lines Of waiting suffragettes and
gave them piece of his mind:
"This is,the day the state of Geor-
gia goes to hell" he dramatically
Numbered end stalked out of the
building.
