KIWAMS CLUB IN MOVE . ID HAVE BETTER JAIL
 CONDITIONS IN CITY

The urgent need for remedying jail conditions in Phoenix found a ready expression yesterday when the Ki- wanis club, at it's weekly meeting. conference between the city commits sion and the county supervisors in regard to a new city hall-courthouse in which adequate accommodations for handling prisoners would be provided. Copies of the resolution are to be sent to the city commission and the board Of supervisors
 strongly presented review of the rotten jail conditions here was given at the meeting by Earl F. Drake, Pnoe- nix attorney and a former prosecutor for San Diego county. Tn his ad- dress on Our Jails as Breeders O. I. w. W.ism,r Mir. Drake gave a vivid portrayal of the jail situation, telling of the poorly lighted, poorly ventilated. insanitary places where prisoners must be kept in Phoenix.
 One of the most important defects in the jails here, Mir. Drake pointed out, is the fmpossibility Of segregat- ing prisoners. Hardened criminals and persons waiting trial for their first offense, often a petty one. are thrown together indiscriminately, the situation making the young offenders more yersed in crime and more hope less of reformation.
 A T. Esgate. cashier of the Valley Bank. who served as a member of the vestigated and reported on jail con- ditions in the city and county. said conditions were as bad as Mir. Drake described them, and thought it desir- able to present a resolution to the county board of supervisors
 The resolution adopted by the Xii wanis club follows.
 Whereas. The wretched and over crowded jails of the city of Phoenix and of the county of Maricopa asc in- humane, unsafe and inefficient, as well as a disgrace to this community; and
 Whereas, 1t is impracticable to fur nish proper jail facilities by the mere remodeling or patching up of existing quarters; and
 Whereas, Tn our opinion, a com hined new court house and city hall should be built soon as practicable so as to furnish facilities for the transaction of county and city busi- ness; therefore, be it
 Resolved. By the members of the members of the Kiwanis club, that the city council of the city of Phoenix and the board of supervisors of Maricopa county be requested and urged to have Ia joint conference in the immediate future in respect to devising a plan for 'iiC VI Celioii etI lAi eetfly ddle Ol tt combined court house and city hall that shall be a credit to our commu- nifty and that shall furnish modern facilities for the transaction of county and city business. including the ham ding of prisoners; and be it further
 Resolved, That we stand ready to cooperate with other civic bodies in every practicable way to procure the authorization of such a project; and be it further
 Resolved. That copies of this reso- iution be sent to the city council and to the county board of supervisors
 Unanimously adopted in open meet ing by the members of the Kiwanis club of Phoenix, Arizona December 20, 1919.

SECOND DAY THRONG
 ECL|PSES OPENING
 0F THE CITY STORE

With the stocks reduced by two days of sales to canned pork and beans and underwear. the city store at 221 North First street closed it's doors at o'clock last night after a second day of operation that would have made an ordinary store famous. Dur ing the day 1,200 persons were served at the army store. while the days re- ceipts totalled $3,25O.
 The second day of the city stores existence brought even greater crowds than it did the first day. Though the receipts were not so high almost 40 more people were served than on Mon day. while all day long the clerks were hard pressed to wait on the trade.
 Last night found the entire stock of 5000 army blankets gone-sold in the two days of business to more than 1,5O0 Phoenix people, for no one was small supply of canned beef too was gone. All that remains in the store is canned pork and beans, a wonderful bargain at cents a can, as a store ad- vertisement would say, undershirts, at 50 cents each, and some full suits of underwear in all sizes.
 No new shipments of surplus army supplies have been received since the opening of the store. though large shipments are expected, and today in- formation as to the supplies will be sought by wire. Among the articles which are to arrive for sale at the city store are shoes, clothing and food and an attempt also will be made to ob- tain more blankets for sale here.

 POSTPONE TITLE F FOOTbALL CLASH

Refusal of Coach keinholtz of Long Beach high to permit his team to take
 | the field against the Phoenix Coyotes
 next Saturday afternoon has neces-
 sitated a postponement of one week in
 l the Long Beach Coyote game for the
 southwestern interscholastic football championship. Contracts have been
 signed to play the game at Long Beach Saturday. January 10.
 The poor showing of the Seasiders in the game against Berkeley High at Pasadena last Saturday is believed to be largely responsible. for the post ponement. The Long Beach players, it is stated. appeared stale in the Cal ifornia title battle and did not play with their usual dash and vim. Notic- ing this, Coach Keinholtz determined to give his players a one-week layoff prior to tackling the Arizona state champions.
 This postponement, however, will not
 do the Coyote pack any harm, either, for Coach Geary has had little time to get the players into tiptop shape. With an additional week. the squad
 should be in the pink of condition for the hardest game of the schedule. Cripples Will Be Back Captain Bryant and Quarterback Brawner will also probably be in shape by the 10th. whereas their recent i'm jurics would undoubtedly have kept them OH the SlQe lines durlnB the greater portion of the game if it were played Saturday. Both players are still watching the team from the side lines and will not be able to get into
 harness again before next Monday or Tuesday.
 Several hard scrimmages are in sight for the team for the remainder of the week, Coach Geary believing that this method is the best to perfect the var ious plays which he has recently given the squad. Several new trick forma- : tions were handed the players last night and after a long discussion as to the methods of working the same, they will be tried out in actual com bat this afternoon.
 The entire squad. With the eNceD ton of Bryant and Brawner. is in good shape. Players suffering from minor cuts and bruises have been "nursed" back to health and vigor,' the pro- cess being good hard knocks against some sturdy opponents

PRICE IF NAVAJO
 BLANKETS GOES UP

Without any fuss, congressional in vestigation. or undue publicity, the price of Navajo blankets has quietly but surely gone mp and up and then up some more. This situation was brought to the attention of the police last night when Mir. Sharp of the Salt River valley Indian agency reported the loss of five good Navajo blankets.
 About what amount were the blan- kets worth?" was the routine question Police Captain Sutherland asked. bringing forth the enlightening tip on the bull movement in blankets.
 As they were pretty good blankets. would place their value at s200.' was the estimate Sharp made. Oen added ruefuIly, The Indians make them and then they take them.''

OLD- RACE RIVALS ID RENEW BAT HE
 NEW yEAR'S DAY

There is to be 3, bitter contest be- tween Frank R. Eddy. driver of the Overland at the auto rases January |. and Johnnie Mais. the pilot of the Essex.
 The rivalry existing between these two drivers is of long standing, dat ing back to 1910 when they first met in combat On the dirt track at Topeka. Eddy declares he is going to bring home the bacon" on the occasion of this race.
 MT. Eddy was a member of the United States air service where he was a flyer and after being discharged from the army. joined the sales force of the Overland Arizona company and immediately after he found out that Johnnie Mais was going to drive in this race, he solicited the consent of Mir. Hotchkiss. president of the Overland Arizona company to drive the Overland that he might get revenge and wipe out the old score.
 It is evident that Eddy means busi- ness and Mais will be forced to make the drive of his life if he expects to get into money on this occasion.

For Better Babies

1t startling fact that during the England actually
cut down infant mortality rate The government saw
that mothers had better before their children were
born their babies had better cleaner milk and
better surroundings after they born This in spite OF
the fact that the British nation engaged hand-to
hand fight for its very existence.
II is an equally startling fact that the British infant
mortality lower than that of the United Staes We
have of the sus of London and the terrible
conditions like Manchester and Birmingham and
yet with the broad prares of America its hundreds of
thousands % square miles of land and its wonderful
climate and energetic population, the United States allows
babies to die in proportion to the number born than
does Great Britain. And those who hveand this is the
more important act-go through life handicapped by weak
sickness of mind and body due to fault of their
own the condition of the mother before her
child born.
These of many similar facts which have led to the
introduction congress of bill by Senator Sheppard of
Texas to give federal aid the work of better
care for mothers and children in the United States The
plan is little like the Agriculture Departments extension
100000 beginning to be advanced to state boards,
which will expend dollar for dollar infant and maternal
The would be created by this bill federal board
made of the Secretary Of Labor the Chief of the Chill

of Education The state boards and health departments of
cities and towns would and work out plans for

struction in infant rearing These local agencies would
ceive financial aid instruction cooperation and supervision
from the federal government.
1t is to be hoped that Senator Sheppards bill will receive
prompt and helpful attention
