$500, 900 Hungry
Children in Europe

Suppose, reader. that on Christmas
morning the children of your family
found the following presents awaiting
them from Santa Claus:
One piece of soap, unscented-
One chocolate cake, so tiny. that it
could be covered by small fist.
Can you guess what the result
would be for the day? You wouldn't
expect peace. good will and a general
atmosphere of delight. You would
expect rather roars of indignant
wrath. And you'd get them without
the least doubt in the world.
Yet in Europe when they distribut-
ed exactly these gifts among the kid
dies. the lattle faces were wreathed
in enchanted smiles.
1t might be easy to please you,

to be without food of any kind and
who will die, unless you help Mr.
Hoover feed them?
They are scattered over Central

Mexico Is In
No Hurry For
Recognition

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Informa-
tion regarded here as unofficial evil
dence that Mexico is in no hurry 10
bargain for recognition by the United
States was submitted to the State
Department by the American EN-.
bassy at Mexico City. The embassy
reported that Rafael Capmany Zu-
k1Hran, minister OF commerce and la
Dor, had declared in an interview that
the cabinet of President Obregon WAS
unanimous in its opinion that Article
q of the constitution should not be
changed. This is the article relating
~ properly rights in Mexico which has
been protested by the. United States
and other governments as confisca-
tory.
wMr. Zubaran's comment was not
Construed as indicative of a determin-
alton fhis government to reject def
nitely the suggestion of Secretary
Colby that an agreement be entered
into by the United States and Mexico
that would form the basis for recog-
milton. That suggestion was made
to Robert Pesqueria. who was sent 10
the United States as a confidential
agent of President De LaHuerta, and
1t is still believed that President OBJ.
regon. De La Huerta's successor. will
accept the suggestion. although no
formal reply has been made to the
igestion-
formal conferences are known 10
have occurred from time to time be-
tween officials OF the State Depart
ment and the representatives OF the
European powers regarding Mexico
as reported in Paris dispatch, and
the policy adopted several years ago
by Great Britain. France and the
other European nations of leaving the
lead to the United States in dealing
with Mexico is expected TO be con-
tinued- This policy has always been
adopted largely by the bankers OF the
different European countries, and has
been made the basis for the agrea-
ment which is known to exist among
them that no money will be loaned to
Mexico without the consent OF the en-.
tire group, and that no financial ne.
gotiations will take place until In
ternational political relations OF Mex
leo are more firmly established
Representatives OF France and
Great Britain have from time TO time
made suggestions 10 the United States
regarding the course that should be
taken. but in the main they have con,
ceded that the interests of their ma
tions are so nearly like those of
Americans that the course taken BY
the United States would be approved
by THAR coyernmenfs Nona NJ the
large European powers has recog.
nized Mexico.
Whether President Obregon will
agree finally &c an agreement which
will be regarded as satisfactory By
this government and incidentally by
those of Euorpe. is said TO be not
definitely known. II has been re-
ported that he has declared he VIII

given recognition solely on account
OF its merit and thus preserve a GER

Capitol Discusses Problem

The county road problem was under discussion at the Capitol yesterday. According to Rudolph Kuchler and Charles R. Howe, members of the state discuss the relative merits of loose rock and concrete for road bases. the loose rock is the only road base that is cheap enough to cover the PTS mihs of highway under a S4.000,000 bond issue. The taxpayers of Maricopa county, they said had voted money enough to build about 133 miles of concrete highways of standard width.
 The tax commissioners made this statement. they said. on the strength of Cochise county's experience in building a concrete highway at a cost of $31,o 900 a mile, the cost excluding engineering and other expenses. They expressed it as their opinion that Il the Maricopa county highway com mission must build PTS miles of high way for S4,000,00o. the first consider ation naturally would be the sort of highway the money available is suf- ficient to handle.
 Chairman c. M Zander of the state tax commission took a somewhat simi- lar attitude. It was his contention that only the question of cost was in Volved in a choice between concrete and loose rock bases. He believed, he

 Supervisor Charles NJ. Roberts, Co., chise county, said he believed in con- crete bases for roads supporting heavy travel, but that lower priced con- struction was good enough for roads of minor traffic Flood conditions in Maricopa county, however, he added made concrete bases. advisable here in nearly all instances. provided the bill could be paid. It was his opinion that the county highway commission is confronted with big task. and. fur ther, that not enough money has been voted for the project.

 finding means effectively to arrest and counteract the continuous growth in the volume of outstanding money and of government obligations" continues the statement, and its concomitant. the consistent increase of prices.
 Suggest Means to Remedy Situation
 "A decrease of excessive consump- ton and an increase of production and taxation are recognized as the most hopeful, if not the only, remedies. Un- less they are promptly applied. the de- preciation of money, it is to be feared. will continue, wiping out the savings of the past and leading to gradual but persistent spreading of bankruptcy and anarchy in Europe.".
 The social and economic future of every country depends on an elimina- ton of imitation, adds the statement. Care must be taken that the burden placed upon Germany. while necessarily far heavier than that carried by other countries. does not exceed the limit of highest practicable taxation or destroy the power of production.
 ''Willingness on the part of Germany to pay her just debts must not be con- verted into a spirit of despair and re- volt" the statement warns. If such thing is threatened. the reparation commission is advised to extend the period of installments which Germany must pay"

American Legion
 Ne,Os

Tonight will be held the first meet ing of the American Legion in the year 1920. It should. be very interesting from the standpoint of those who will attend, because of the things that will be discussed when the boys meet at their hall over Goldberg's store at s o'clock. All men of the legion and all ex-service men are urged by the of ficers to be present, and each man should try and bring at least one other man with him in order that the new year may have a good start by large attendance.
 How about that uniform since you have taken it off it's accustomed peg in the closet and shined it all up nice for the coming of General Pershing You know that it is the intention of the committee on reception of the general to have all men of the legion and all other service men appear in uniform on that occasion when Phoe- nix will be honored by such distin- guished visitor on January 30.
 If every man will co o-operate with the committee by turning out at that time he will confer a great pleasure upon himself at the same time that he is showing the people of Phoenix what it meant to have a uniform during the war and what it means to have one now to wear on such occasions. Phoenix is proud of her sons and it will be a source of pride in the future to know that the ex-service men have turned out in full quota for the coming of General Pershing.

GEMS VALUED AT S15,O00 STOLEN FROM PALM VILLA
Jewels Disappear From Res idence Of Mrs. Lou Ella Arch CT While She Is Motoring To City - Few Clues

Jewelry valued at S15.000 mysterious iy disappeared yesterday from Palm Villa, the residence of Mrs. Lou Ella Archer. Phoenix society woman, who lives at Central avenue and Thomas road. The robbery occurred in the aft ernoon. Whatever clew to the thieves that has been obtained has not been divulged by the police and deputies from the sheriff's office.
 All the missing gems were kept in jewel case placed in the drawer of a chiffonier in an upstairs room of the Archer residence. Valuable furs in a nearby wardrobs and more than S1OU in cash in an adjoining drawer were not touched by the thief or thieves.
 Mrs. Archer, who is certain the jew els were in their place shortly after the noon hour, left her residence at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon to drive to the city. Four servants az em- ployed at the Archer residence. With the exception of a maid. who was in the city attending a moving picture show. the servants were at the house all the afternoon. They have been ab- solved by their mistress of all knowl- edge of the robbery.
 Finds Gems Gone
 Guests were to be at the Archer res idence for dinner last evening. Re- turning from her drive at 530 o'clock. Mrs. Archer went to the upstairs room and immediately discovered the loss of the jewelry. Nothing else was miss ing. There were no other indications of any intruder having been in the room.
 Mrs. Archer immediately informed the sheriff's office of the robbery. Sher- if Montgomery and Deputies Wilson and Price went at once to Palm Villa and investigated all the circum stances surrounding the disappearance of the jewelry. A Great Dane dog of none too cordial attitude toward strangers had been at the front entrance of the house all the day, as had a collie at the rear. How anyone not acquainted with those animals could have gained entrance to the residence by either the front or rear doors puzzles the of ficials.
 The following list comprises the missing jewelry, according to a state ment of Mrs. Archer:
 Diamond necklace.
 Sapphire and diamond bar pin.
 Ruby bar pin.
 Sapphire ring.
 Ruby ring.
 Pearl ring.
 Pearl chain
 Blue enamel watch with diamond inset.
 Diamond bracelet.
 Gold mesh handbag.
