ARIZONA HAS RAISED S10,000 IN DRIVE F0R
 NEAR EAST ORPHANS

State headquarters of the Near East Relief is in receipt of an official state ment from the national headquarters of the organization crediting Arizona with 5000 representing contributions which have been sent by Sunday schools, lodge and women's organiza- tions direct to the New York office. This brings the total of the amount raised in Arizona since the opening of the Adopt -an orphan campaign to practically S10,000. This does not take into account any Arizona donations which may have been sent national headquarters during February.
 Members of the state committee are inclined to look upon the results at tained to date as being merely d good start. Arizona has been called upon to care for 1000 Armenian orphans during the year 1920. and figuring on the basis of S1S0 a year this means this state can lay claim to having done it's part in this great humanitarian cause.
 The most assuring part of the pres ent situation, in the minds of state or ganizers. is the amount of interest which has been stirred up in schools, in church organizations, in fraternal societies, and among womens organ izations. Many have been aroused to action by the talks of General Abgape- tian and his wife, Lady Anne; many more by the activities of field workers now covering the state.
 If we can only secure pledges from those organizations which have prom ised us their co-operation,'' said E. D. no fear but that Arizona will go over the top in this campaign, just as it has in other patriotic and philanthropic drives of the past"

HAROLD. NOT HARRY,
 BAXTER, |S CORRECT

In d story the other morning or the filing of petitions for nominations for the city primary it appeared in The Republican that the name of Harry Baxter had been proposed. The same name appeared in the Gazette the fol- lowing evening. Naturally inquiry was developed as to the identity of this as pirant for municipal honorS.
 Harry appears to have been a too familiar treatment of the name of Harold Baxter. whose name ap- peared on the petition. Mir. Baxter is well known as an attorney, former member of the legislature and later engaged in work in France.

LINK CAIRO AND CAPE TOWN
Air Service Now Ready, Cuts Ten
Week Trip Between Cities
to One.

London.-Cairo and Cape Town, rep
resenting the extremes of the African
continent, have at last been linked up
by an air service. The British air min
istry has announced that the air route
over which engineers have spent long
months of labor amidst great difficult
ties is finally ready for traffic. Thls
means that the time heretofore re-
uuired to traverse the continent-from
ten to twelve weeks-has now been
cut down to about one week and that
therefore secluded sections OF Africa
will be opened to the world.
The total distance by the old meth
DDS of communication Is 1928 miles,
for which from fifty-nine to seventy
five days would be required. Against
this, the air ministry points out, the
total flying distance of the aerial
route should not exceed $500 miles.
Taking 100 miles an hour as fair
average flying speed under favorable
conditions and when the route has been
firmly established, only fifty-two hours
actual flying time would be required
to cover the distance, or about week,
flying eight hours q day.
