Grown people often fail to realize
how cl<s,lren delight in their COM
partnership Every mother should EN-
ploy care and insight as well as love
for her child when she selects his
occupations. Shown an eager desire
to enter the chid's world, he will well
come her with couuless suggestions. 1t
is the mothers privilege to modify
these ideas, to make a quiet occupa-
ton more attractive than noisy one,
TO offer materials that are large and
easily handled when little fingers show
signs of restlessueSs. or to direct ac-
tive games when repression becomes
uEkind.

w HETHER we admire and APP
w prove or not, the efforts of
French creators of styles ne er fail
to interest us. Sometimes a single
glance reveals so much of beauty and
ingenuity that we are willing to con-
cede French superiority in the realm
of clothes, and sometimes mLcn more
than a glance fails to rouse any en-
thusiasm for the import that has been
thrust upon us. Here are two after
noon frOcks which Harriet Gustin

shoes also natives of Paris, by way

come unexpectedly to light amid flow
ers, leaves, blossoms and tendris.
Hat and smock to match offer some
thing new in sets but what promises
to be far more popular is to be found
in hat and bag to match. The vogue
for elaborate and rich embrOderies
in millinery paves the way for COM
panion pieces of equally handsome
bags. Ribbons, velvet, duvetyn, are all
fabrics that are as well suited to bags
as to hats, and nearly all the new bags
are made Of fabrics. Chinese and
Japanese embroideries entice the de-
signer to convert them into these love-
~ accessories of dress. Above all
things, ribbons wide and narrow tempt
feminine fancy and fingers to convert
them into ingenious bags, and milln-
ers look at ribbons and think hats.

routing of the highway" he declared.
 Such changes in routing would un- doubtedly affect our community as well as Maricopa county, for we all know the determined fight being made by Tucson and certain other cities of the southern section of the state to re- route the highway through AJo to Yuma I have only the kindliest feel ings for Tucson, but we are bound to conduct a friendly fight for the Bank head highway.
 Even now we are informed that signs have been placed on the Ajo route designating 1t as the Bankhead high way. We must go down to Birn1tng- ham as a uni and fight to the last ditch for the maintenance of the orig inaI routing.
 Mayor Heating was the next speaker.
 They've got something under cover" he declared. 'fWe do not presume to know it's nature, but we want to go to Birmingham prepared to give a lasting fight if any effort is made to re-route the highway.
 Harry Locke's recent interview with a Phoenix reporter in which he declared the Tucson Ajo- Yuma route the most logical, spoke for selfish purposes only. We all know that he took that position

 Other speakers were J. R. Bradshaw a member of the Maricopa. county board of supervisors. who stated that he believed the best way to get the Bankhead highway was to build good roads He explained that when the Maricopa county highway program is complete, the county will have s3 miles of concrete roads on the Bankhead highway routing; Eugene Hackett, the chairman of the county highway com mission, declared in favor of sending representatives to the Birmingham meeting to fight the issue to a fina l conclusion. Mayor Willis H. Plunkett ] took a like view; Harold Bargman, the county engineer, told of the experience | of the motor convoy in its trip over th' Ajo route: w.

SOLD FURS WITHOUT
 LICENSE; ARE FINED

The city was called upon yesterday to act in the case of Dan and Peter Williamson. They are reported to have been brought to the attention of the police department through joke. The brothers sell furs. They applied for a city license, but through a misunder- standing failed to receive it. How ever they understood they had been granted permission to sell their goods and proceeded to work up trade. A man prominent in the city pur- chased from them.
 Learning of this a practical joker called this man and told him he knew the goods he had purchased from the Williamson brothers had been stolen from a local store. The purchaser notified the police, who found no basis for the report but did ascertain that the Williamson brothers were selling goods without a city license. They were each fined $50 for this of- fense and were then granted a license to carry on their business here.

ID FIGHT ANY CHANGE IN
 BANKHEAD ROAD
Phoenix and Florence Join
 In Planning Action To xRetain National Highway
 In Face Of Efforts To Have This District Passed

A determined fight against any pro- posed changes in the official and ap- proved routing of the Bankhead high way at a meeting of the corporation at Birmingham, Ala, Jan. g. will be made by good road enthusiasts of Pinal and Maricopa counties as a result of an indignation" meeting last night. Decision was reached to send a delegas tion to back up Vice. President J. G. Heating in bis fight at the Birmingham session.
 Good road boosters of the two coun- ties Joined to block any and every eff fort of the corporation to amend it's constitution or bylaws insofar as such changes will affect a re-routing of the highway, and denounced in no un- certain terms the action of the Tucson chamber of commerce in attempting to route the highway through Ajo and Wenden to Yuma at the exclusion of Florence, Chandler, Mesa, Tempe and Phoenix.
 Charges and counter charges grew out of the meeting, featured by the, open accusation of Mayor J. c. Keat+ ing of Florence. vice president of the Bankhead Highway corporation and president of the Pacific coast division, tBa subordinate officers of the Ari- zHha California division were attempt irg to embarrass his position by con tinued failure and refusal to respond division were attempting to embarrass his position by continued failure and to official highway correspondence.
 Secretary Kit of Tucson and Fred Fletcher, vice president, were specif- fcally charged with failure to carry out the provisions of their offices to the detriment of the association in general and especially that portion of 1t traversing Arizona by way of Florence and Maricopa county.
 Florence Joins Phoenix
 Florence business men, all astir over the possibility that the highway will be lost to that city. came thirty strong to Phoenix yesterday. They put their cards squarely on the table and men discussed what they believed would prove q real remedy for the highway ills. Chtndler workers supplemented the Florence delegation, with a result that enthusiasm was not lacking.
 A dinner at the Grand cafe was the only entertainment feature, for the vis- iting delegates came bent on business and they got down to the subject mat ter without loss of time.
 J. C. Dobbins director of the cham ber of commerce and chairman of the roads committee. told the purpose ol the meeting and introduced Warren McArthur as toastmaster. Mir. McAr- thur welcomed the visiting delegates on behalf of the chamber of commerce
 Judge o. J. Baughm of the Pinal county Superior court and leading highway worker of the district, was the first speaker for the visitors. He stated that n meeting of the entire Banllhead Highway corporation had been called for Jan 9, to be held at Birmingham, at which time a vote would be taken on changes to the con- stitution and bylaws.

The Fool and his Money.

According to the government
reports on the subject the veal
thiest people in the world per
capita in the world are the Usage
Indians of Oklahoma. For some
time each member of the tribe
has been receiving eight thou.
sand dollars annually and this
year each will get between nine
and ten thousand. Their sudden
opulence results from the dis.
covery of rich deposits Of oil, gas
and minerals underlying their
tribal lands. In consequence they
have retired from the corn and
cotton fields and left labor to
othors. They.hav dropped their
blankets for the richest and
most gaudy apparel. They nolon.
ger dance to the old gourd- rat
tie but to the strains from expen-
sive music boxes. There are now
many families of half a dozen ad-
nit members in which leach
member owns from one to three
automobiles and super-sixes at
that. Such an orgy of reckless
spending was never known, and
yet the Osages ought to be put,
ting most of their money into in
terest. paying investments. For
this.golden river will run dry in
eleven years, 1881 being the ex
piration of the period for which
their oil and mineral lands arc
held in trust.
Investigating agents sent out
by the House Committee on In.
dian Affairs say that the Osages,
now so rich, will become public
charges in eleven years, the rich.
est Indians becming the poorest
unless their madness can be
checked. They are blamed 70
their foolish prodigality and ina
bility to foresee rainy day a
head, but countless white people
all over the country are throwing
easy money around with similar
recklesness. The Osages are less
to blame because they could moi
be expected toknow better. 1t is

Big Crops and Car Shortage.

Food ought to become cheaper
in no great while now that there
is certain knowledge of unexpect-
edly abundant crops in both Can
ada and the United States. Re-
ductiOn in prices would seem to
be inevitable if the new crops
should be moved promptly to
markets, but this is a very SER
ious remaining difficulty. We
read that there, are over twenty
eight million bushels more wheat
than was expected a month ago,
seven million more bushels of
oats and eight million more bush
els of barley. There is promise
of eleven million more bushels of
rice than ever produced before,
and Of a hundred and twelve mil.
lion pounds of tobacco above the
average maximum. Corn will be
a full though not recordbreak-
ing crop. The old and new stock
of wheat together will amount to
eight hundred and forty-six mil
lion bushels.
There is plenty for all, but dis
tribution is the difficulty. There
are nearly fifty million bushelsOf
old wheat on the farms as COM
pared with nineteen million bush
els a year ago. 1t is stated that
four hundred and eighty cars a
day for two months could not get
the old crop of wheat out of Kan
sas alone. From all accounts the
railroads have neither cars nor
the general capacity to accomp-
lish the needed work. The spur
of absolute necessity which ac-
complished the movement OF sol
diers and military supplies dur
ing the war is now absent and
the railroads under private con-
troll are staggering beneath their
burdens more noticably than ev-
er. 1t seems that for years rail
road capacity has failed to expand
in proportion to the expansion in
production and commerce, and
this problem is one of the most
important now presented for so
luton. Winston Journal.
