IS NO,T H|NDRANCE
 IN OTHER STUDIES

That vocational work does not inter fere with other studies is the claim made by Miss Beulah Coon, state su- pervisor of home economies, who de clares that because a girl studies house management is no reason why she should not be efficient in the other branches of learning. This, she said, has been worked out in various schools of the state where girls registered in vocational work are making excellent grades in other studies. In a recent contest in English work held in the Tucson schools the two girls making the highest grades registered from the vocational class.
 The Tucson nigh school has a four year course in home economies, said Miss Coon, who added that the pupils were given credit for the work on the same basis as their other studies
 Miss Coon also reports that Nogales is interested in the work which is be- ing carried on in the school. Part time classes are also being formed there, she said. Ajo and Casa Grande also have new departments.

Verde Trout Said
 To Be Plentiful In
 Streams of Valley

Some people think that in order to get goo dtrout fishing, where a sports man can enjoy the pleasures of real fly casting, it is necessary to journey to the mountain streams in an effort to catch a good string of fish. This, however, Is not the case with Frank AllIire, who returned home yesterday morning with a big mess of trout he caught on flies while fishing along the Salt river.
 With a beautiful string of fish nun boring not less than twenty-f five, AL kire brought to Pinney & Robinson's sporting goods house these members of the finny tribe which were placed on distplay in front of their establishment Hundreds of nimrods were amazed at the record catch made so early in the season and as a result there will be plenty of fishermen out today cast ing from the bank of a stream with hopes of getting successful catches.
 Verde trout are very fine eating and the sport of catching these fish Is great pastime They are fifteen inches long at the most and put Il pa game fight hen hooked. "

He seats him self at a desk, with silken socks care fully displayed, and writes and smokes and writes - a seemingly endless stream of letters.
