headway in the efforts to stamp out venereal disease. The federal govern ment is helping in the work. Congress decided to spend a million dollars each year with the different states This action was taken because scientists have proven that the venereal diseases which once baffled their skill can now be cured. Since this is the case. if is necessary only to insure scientific treatment for all victims. and the quar- antining of those who may be infected, i,l order to stamp out this awful men ace and put it with smallpox, diph- tlleria and typhoid fever. among those things that exist where people are careless, but can be avoided In the following cities arrangements have been made whereby those who cannot raise the funds necessary to pay for treatment will be treated free:
 Casa Grande. Florence. Flagstaff Winslow. Clarkdale. Parker, St Johnsf Clifton Nogales, Stafford. AingTnah, Wilcox, Yuma, Douglas, Prescott.
 In a number of counties the county physician will treat the indigent infec- tives not only of his own town, but oi the other settlements Of the country where the cities themselves are unable to provide such treatment. In con- junction with this. campaign haS been instituted to make it unprofitabla for druggists to sell patent medicines for the treatment of these diseases. The improper treatment Of Vepereai infection is likely to have such z serious effect upon those afflicted that the treatment of this disease by drug gists has been made a misdemeanor ii many states. including Arizona
 Nothing can be done towards ths control of venereal diseases Tn Mari copa county until free general pur- pose clinic can be established at which poor people who may be afflicted can be treated without charge. Such clinic is contemplated by the public health center. the organization of which is now under way.
 In Pima county and Gila county similar conditions exist. In Cochise county the work of controlling venereal diseases is being advanced in Douglas and Wilcox. but the county as a whole cannot enter into the campaign sue cessfuuy until Bisbee IS able 10 take care of it's indigents.
 The estimate of venereal disease in lection as exposed by the army ex- animation of draftees was surprisingly large. It was found that 37 of every thousand Arizona draftees in the first million were infected. Tn the second. million. which was made up of older men, the proportion grew to nearly so in each thousand It is the opinion of the health authorities that the amount of venereal disease existing in Arizona has decreased materially in the past three years. This is due largely to the fact that prohibition lessened the activity in immoral practices, while the efforts of the army surgeons did much towards eradicating large DOT ton of what had existed among the men on entering the forces.
 The state board of health expects to help every community in effective ac- tion in wiping out this disease, the existence of which is possible only through the carelessness of the various communities.

LOCAL TOSSERS
 JET READY FUR
 CHICAGO CAME

The all-star Salt River valley base ball team, which is to oppose the Chi caSo National league team in an exhi- bition game here April 6, is beginning to take form. The first practice of the players who were chosen by scouts to comprise this team was held yesterday morning and indications were that Manager Fred Mitchell and his crew of tossers are going to have a real job on their hands beating the local play CTS, strengthened by one of the star Cub batteries.
 Fully thirty players reported for the initial workout yesterday and they showed lots of pep and dash although It IS impossible at this early date to tell just how this all-star team will line up for the big game
 At yesterdays practice players were present from all sections of the valley and the team as finally chosen later this week will be a truly repre- sentative one of the valley. Prob ably fifteen players will be named for the Cub game and all of these will be assured an opportunity to participate.
 With Alexander, Vaughn or Claude on the mound for the valley team and Bill killifer doing the receiving, Phoe- nix fans will probably see one of the fastest and best played games ever offered fans of this community.
 The Cubs are showing in fine form on the coast. having lost but one of eight practice games so far played against teams of the Pacific coast league and including four games with the Vernon Tigers, pennant winners last season.
 Chicago sport critics declare the Cubs will be in the National league pennant fight from the drop of the hat this season and that the team that wins the pennant will have to beat out this Chicago team
 Alexander has regained his old form they say, which means that he is the peer of all moundsmen in the senior major circuit and one of the most feared box artists in the game. Hol- locher is also playing with his old pep and enthusiasm, while Herzog, Merl<le and Deal round out the infield to per lection Killifer is showing equally as good as in seasons gone by while his understudies, Barber and O'FarreIl are playing better ball than in 1919. In the outfield. the Cubs have such stars as Dave Robertson. recognized as one of the best outfielders and hitters in the National circuit, F1ack, Barber and three or four youngsters who have been going well during the training season.
 The game here will be played at the state fair grounds a week from next Tuesday The grounds are now being put into first class shape for the game.

fused to dispense and resisted the eff
forts of the policemen to force them
back into the reformatory buildings.
Their numbers increased gradually, and
they struck the policemen with sticks,
kicked them, bit them and clawed at
them.
At o'clock the five Bedford po-
licemen and the ten State Troopers
who had come from Brewster and
White Plains in response to Miss
Jones' call, had gained the upper hand
But they were a bruised and weary
lot. The injuries suffered by three of

When order finally was restored
about seventy of the inmates were
marched into the prison building, care
being taken to keep the white girls
and the negroes separated.
Miss Jones said that an investiga-

When Miss Helen COBB, FORMER SUI

said here last night, agreed that if
Miss Jones resigned as superintendent

in charge there since June /.
Miss Cobb rendered her resignation
to the board of managers on April %,

assistant, Julia A. Minogue, had been
recommended in report to Governor

Inmates OF the institution had testi-

so that in some cases only their toes
touched the floor and that the "cold

Father Thomas Kelly, a member of
the board OF managers, who assisted
in quel!ng the riot, said last night

Kelly, "have the impression that they
can do as they please. One girl said
