MAIDS IF MORENCI
 LEARNING TO COOE

If Phoenix housemaids took the same interest in house management as the maids of AIorenci, the standard o1 house servants would be raised ac- cording to Miss Beulah 1. Coon, super visor of home economies, who has just returned from a survey of eastern Arizona.
 In Morenci the girls and women en- ployed in the homes form class which devotes five hours a week to the study of domestic science. They are learn ing to cook properly and are delving into the subject of house management which is recognized, says Miss Coon as one of the big problems of today.
 A laboratory in the high school of Clifton is equipped in such a fashion that the girls are learning to cook with gas, electricity, coal. wood or oil. In the foreign district where classes are established the girls arc cooking entirely on oli stoves and are fea- turing making over garments in their sewing class.
 In Duncan a class will be organized shortly, a group of high school girls having made application for the work.

Workmen are driving the finishing riv cts into the super structure of the great super dreadnaught California sister ship to the Tennessee-and ere many months go by she will be making her trial trips. The California is a true product of the Golden state and represents its workmanship. built at 'ho Mare Island navy yard in Califor- aia, and. like the Tennessee, will be manned by native sons of the state.
 The keel of this monster fighting machine was laid Oct. IS, 1916. but dur ing the war the workmen assigned to iabricate her turned their tools to building destroyers. so she is some what late in being completed.
 Tn the use of electricity as a means Of propulsion, the California follows the example set by the New Mexico and Tennessee. Beside being electric ally driven. the ship will be electrical ly operated, from her guns, galley and bakeshops to her potato peelers and sewing machines. The inset above shows a chief petty officer standing inside one of her four rotors before 1t was put in place in her engine room.
 The California was launched Nov. %. 1919, at the navy yard, Mare Island,

CONCRETE BRICK CO.
 TO GIVE LUNCHEON

luncheon will be given architects and building contractors of Phoenix, as well as a few other citizens, at noon today by the Arizona Shope Concrete Brick company at it's plant at 729 East Jackson street.
 The Arizona Shope Concrete Brick company is backed by local business men. it's directorate consisting of c Martin Stoddard, president: Harry Kay, vice president, and A. J. Kissel- burgh, secretary. The company is now engaged in the manufacture of water proof concrete brick, tile and mantels. and from reports hopes to reach the 100000 mark by the last of this month. Considering the fact that operation of the plant commenced December 10, this success is more than was anticipated.

and was sponsored by Mrs. Randolph r. Zane, daughter of Governor Stevens. The ship is the latest addition to the American navy and was designed by master minds sharpened by the urge of war and represents the ultimate in fighting fitness. Many lessons learned during the war in ship construction have been built into her.
 The normal displacement of the California will be 32,0O0 tons; length, SPA feet; beam, STA feet; draft, 31 feet; speed, 21 knots CA land miles) 1: and an armament consisting of twelve 14-inch 50 caliber guns, one of which is shown above with 50 or 60 blue jackets comfortably standing upon it, and fourteen 5-inch 51 caliber; four 3-inch 50 caliber anti-aircraft: four S-pounders (salutins), and two 21-inch submerged torpedo tubes.
 When commissioned the early part of 1921, this great vessel will be as signed to the Pacific fleet and it is said that she will be made the flagship of the commander-in in chief of that i'm portant station. A crew of all Califor- nians will man her, and great strides have already been accomplished in re- cruiting and assembling these men.

HERE'S SUGGESTION
 FUR 4 MOTOR TRIP

Here is a motor trip which affords a delightful combination. Every Phoe- nician is interested in the Verde water system. By journeying to the point of intake on the Verde river the motor ist can find an abundance of mistletoe and at the same time acquaint himself with the progress being made in the waterway construction
 Although the trip can be made by variouse routes perhaps the least con : fusing is directly out the Arizona canal road to Granite Reef dam, where a turn is made to the left and the Verde river is followed through the Indian reserva- tion until the construction camp is reached.

equipment, and frequently force the al.
tomobile owner to abandon the use az
his car for the entire spring rather
than risk breakdown.
Most Of the unpleasantness and dt1-
ficulty may be remedied In many local
tiles even in the worst weather. for
there are times when the worst cut
up surface is In fairly good condition
for dragging. BY taking advantage Of
the proper moment, the ruts and bumps
can be smoothed out and the next
freeze viii result in q smooth hard
surfaced pike that can be favorably
compared to concrete highway.
Owing to the fact that the road sur
face will be rather wet and sticky
when dragged, greater care must be
exercised In handling the drag. Il the
blades Of the drag are set vertically.
there will be q tendency to scrape up
too much earth, or, In the language
Of the road man, "Ball up In front"
Also, If the hitch to the team Is set too
near the center, the angle Of the drag
with the road will be too nearly q
right angle, or straight across, to shed
or crown the wet earth.
Dragging under these conditions
should be more an ironing out the
wrinkles process; hence the blades OF
the drag should be given a forward
or flatter inclination than when work
ing dry road. The hitch should be
SO arranged that the angle Of the drag
is mo:e nearly parallel to the road
than ordinary, thus causing the earth
to shed better and prevent trouble. For
extremely bad conditions the use Of
the road machine ahead Of the drag
will be found effective. In Ill cases,
the road should be freed OF oil stumps,
snags, and powders, a. these ssriously
retard good dragging.
A little practice will enable the op-
orator to do q fairly creditable Job,
and after subsequent freeze the road
will present q smoother and much mors
comfortable surface. Then, when the
spring rains come, the road will quick
~ shed the water that formerly col.
lected In the deep ruts, and be dry and
hard long before similar roads not
dragged.
The present difficulties encountered
In getting large amounts Of crushed
stone for road repairs necessitates the
greatest care In maintaining all road
surfaces In the best possible way with
out the use of additional materials

A Chicago newspaper points out the
temptation of business concerns to in .
crease the price of goods more than
is necessary on account of the increas-
cd freight rates that become effective
today. While the increase will make
considerable difference to a business
concern in year, it will not make
much difference on any one item. For
instance in Chicago, the difference in
express rates on quart Of milk is
but very small fraction of cent.
Should a milk dealer charge one cent
more quart, the rate Of increase
would be 500 percent higher than the
actual difference paid for carrying the
one quart. The public must expect
+, pay the increase, but care should
be taken not to load any more onto the
backs of the buyers than is actually
necessary. The merchants who use
c2sre in making only what increase il
necessary will make hit with the
public.

Sugar has taken a big drop and

Sugar has taken big drop and
many sugar firms that have been hold
ing the product for big profits are
certain to take heavy losses. Sugar
was selling recently as high as 30
cents a pound, but it dropped rapidly

prediction made by Russell }. Poole,
secretary Of the Chicago city councl!,s

drop to ten or eleven cents a pound
by Jan. /, 1921. The country has
more sugar than was figured on, due
to large importations from foreign
countries. The prohibition law has
not created the demand for candy and
soft drinks that was anticipated. We
have been paying tribute to the sugar
barons long enough. The chances
are that several other commodities
will come down in the wake of the
sugar decline. Local grocers are re-
ceiving quotations from sugar jobbers
almost every day. Monday, sugar
