NOT TRUE 100000
 DISABLED SOLDIERS
 ELIGIBLE ID TRAIN

Denial that 100000 disabled soldiers are eligible for training is made by Dis trict Vocational Officer Nicholas Ric- ciardi in a letter to Local Agent Fred F. Rowlen of the federal board for vo- cational education. The writer bases his denial on the fact that every man who has q physical disability is not eligible for training. and points out that a man to be eligible for training must have a physical disability which is a vocational handicap.
 Confirmed by experience in Canada and Europe, it is proven that 10 per cent of the men suffering from physical disability have serious vocational han dicaps. On that basis, using the 200,- 900 given by critics, says the writer, 10000 men would be eligible for train ing. Up to February IA. 1920, there were 45,962 men approved for training. which indicates that the Board has been more than twice as liberal as boards elsewhere. While critics of the federal board say that PIT men were re- turned to suitable gainful employment, the letter says. it is not made clear that these men have returned after completing their training, and that all men approved for training will receive training lon the job'' wherever neces- sary and that federal board supervision will not end until they make good on the jobs for which they have been trained. Between 20 and 30 per cent of the returned men receiving voca- tional training are being trained under what is called placement training. These will gradually be absorbed and become regular employees doing eff cient work.
 It should be borne in mind that there are also over 12.000 men still in the hospitals of the public health service suffering from active tuberculosis or mental and nervous diseases, the letter states. These men are not yet. of course, physically fit to take up train- ing. There are also 10000 men still in the army hospitals and several thou sand men in the navy hospitals who are not yet ready to be discharged, and who are, of course, not able to take training.

MORALES ID OBSERVE
 GOvERNOR'S DAY IN
 FIRST WEEK 0F MAY

Plans for the celebration of Cover nor's Day in Nogales during the first week in May include the official greet ing of Mexican officials at the inter- national boundary at Nogales. Gov ernor Thomas F. Campbell and Gov ernor Stephens of California will be escorted by the Twenty-fifth U. $. Infantry. and four troops of the Tenth (colored) U. S. Cavalry, under the command of Colonel Earl C. Carnahan.
 Arizona business look upon the Nogales celebration as an unusually appropriate opportunity for the bring ing together of representatives of all elements engaged in or affected by trade with Mexico.
 During the recent trade excursion of the members of the Nogales Chamber of Commerce to the west coast of Mexico, Governor Ramon Iturbe of Sinaloa and Governor Adolfo de la Huerta of Sonora entered into a plan with the members of the excursion re- garding an exposition park on the in ternational boundary line at Nogales to promote tractor demonstrations for the farmers of the United States and Mexico, who are rehabilitating valu- able lands which were destroyed dur ing the revolution
 A 100-acre tract of land on the bor-
 
 ton. was secured for this purpose. both sides cooperating in the movement. On account of the big celebration. spe- cial excursion. trains have been ar ranged for by the Mexican executives through the Pullman company and sleeping car service renewed over the Mexican Southern Pacific lines after a lapse of seven years.
 Trade exports from Mexico through Nogales in 1918 were more than $11,- 100000 and the exports into Mexico through Nogales for she same year were $7.000, 900.
 Reasons for the increased trade are given as due to the stability of condi- tions in the wealthy state of Sinaola and the mutual confidence and reci- procity between the merchants of the Mexican states and the business men of Nogales. Governors Day will ce- mont into closer friendship and inter ests the trade relations of the Ameri- an-Mexican inter-states, according to the promoters of the celebration.

 BY COMMISSIONERS

Another important subdivision was added to the city of Phoenix yesterday when the city commissioners, in resu- lar meeting, passed an ordinance an- nexing Ashland Place. This plat is di- rectly north of Little Maricopa canal in section 32 and extends east and west from Center street to Third street. In size it is about equal to ten average city blocks.

This subdivi- sion lies north of McDowell road be- tween Coronado road and Homewood road and is bounded by Seventh street on the west and Tenth street on the east. City Engineer Hitchcock will in- vestigate the advisability of this an- nexation.
 As another step toward securing q full and detailed report on the financial condition of the Phoenix street railway company, the commissioners passed an ordinance require persons, co-part- nerShipS. associations and corpora tiOnS operating under franchises or privileges from tre city of Phoenix to make re- ports of the extent and manner of their operation hereunder and to permit in- spection of their books and property by the agents of the city for informa- fion. taxation and other purposes" Ac- cording to Commissioner Henderson. this ordinance was prepared for the. use of the committee appointed to iI1- yestigate the street railway lines.
