T TAKES two kinds of machinery
 to built good roads-that actu-
 ally used in construction and the machinery of organization Both will be found at the. central repair yards and general headquarters of the State Highway department, located at Seventeenth avenue and Jackson street, three blocks from the capitol building.
 A visit to this modern plant is a revelation, not only as to the vast amount of highways equipment which has been accumulated by the state during the last year and half. but in revealing also Q model system of cen tralization and distribution.
 The plant occupies an entire city block adjacent to the Santa F'e tracks .. Enclosed therein is something like S2,e0O,0O0 worth of equipment One side and two ends are taken up with sheds which afford substantial pro- lection against the elements for long lines of ex-army trucks. At one end are the repair shops; in the center stands the warehouse Just in front of it and facing Jackson street a con- crete office building is being erected, and a modern machine shop is also planned.
 In and around these buildings are great stacks of equipment yet to be un- packed, repaired and sorted. In some corner the visitor is apt to find the portable derrick mounted on the deck

of a heavy truck in action with three grime- covered men at work lifting some heavy pieces of machinery into position. Here and there one finds other grease bedecked invidiulals, each seemingly intent on some problem which has to do with the repairing or assembling of motors and the other machinery which abounds on every hand.
 Little Fort Bliss someone has aptly dubbed this highway plant and if action counts for anything it looks the part. For in addition to the 20 repair men, here are to be found other groups unloading and unpacking the newly arrived material; here are to be found day laborers pouring cement and laying steel for the splendid new three story office structure which will gracS the front of the grounds. Here also will be found the busy clerical and drafting forces of the department, temporarily hounsed on the ground floor of the warehouse. If anyone doubts the capacity for work of any of these hundred or more state ern- ployes it would pay them to visit the yards on any weekday from S:3O in the morning till 5:2O at night. He would be sure to find them on the job.
 .'On the job' appears to have been adopted as a slogan for the State High way department and applies to every member of it from the state engineer down to the most humble employe.

The Murder Develops Into An Affair
 Quite Close to N

A startling murder, I decided, as I listened to the chatter of the crowd and surveyed the scene of the tragedy, below me. The bathhouse was a huge affair of concrete; it was divided by broad entrance hall in the middle; the women's rooms were in the left wing, the mems in the right. Patrons bought their tickets in the center, took their keys and towels to the little dressing booths. After the swim, they left the keys in the doors of the rooms, and went out of the hathhouse by stair ways at the ends of the wings.
 The man had been shot from one of the windows of the women's wing. they said. There were three tiers of win dows I counted them-why I don know I reckoned that there were nearly 200 windows from any one of which that bullet might have started carrying death to a certain unsuspect- ing man.
 I noticed some camera man getting into an auto next to mine. Other men with them were reporters, I fancied I gathered up my courage and put a question to one of them:
 'sWho was shot2"
 The young man smiled pleasantly, in the way some men always smile when

 Being on the job means that now the Arizona Highway program is well under way for the first time, the de- partment intends to keep things nov ing. and to do this fl has been deemed necessary to expand the plant by the establishment Of a model machine shop and an adequate office building.
 The machine shop will be located at the end Of the railroad spur which serves the warehouse. It will be 40x 100 feet with cement floor, open sides and corrugated iron roof. It will be

everything that the visitor sees.
 Being on the job secured for the state of Arizona something like a million and a half dollars worth of federal equip ment, and this in the face of the fact that there were heavy freight bills to pay, and with no legislative appropria- tions to meet the same.
 Being on the job the state engineer conceived the idea of a central ware house and repair yard to handle road making material, keep it in repair and distribute it, thus creating a fountain head of equipment which supplies the state.
 Being on the job meant the assembl- ing of all divisions of the state highway department and for this reason the

prepared a memorandum containing
some of the questions asked him by the

over to Kolchak troops and how long
it would take them to get to Russia.
They told Questioners among their
guards that they expected to find en-
ployment in Russia at their trades and
that they would be able to come back
to the United States if they wished to do
so. About 300 letters, censored. were
brought back to the United States,
written by the deportees on the last
day of their voyage.

Men berS of the Phoenix chapter of the American Association of Engineers VIII hold smoker and informal special session at s o'clock tonight at the city hall in honor of Dr. F. H. Newell, head of the civil engineering department of the University of Illinois and national president of the engineers association.
 Dr. Newell who is in Phoenix for a few days, was chief engineer of the United States Reclamat ton service dur Ing the time of the construction of the Roosevelt dam and the Salt River Val ley project and consequently takes more than an ordinary interest in Phoenix and the valley. He has kept himself in close touch with the progress Of the city and valley. though he has not been connected with the reclama- ton service for a number of years. During the last three years pr.

 Largest Engineering Organization
 The A. A. E. is now the largest or Sanization of engineers in existence, with more than 13.000 fullfledged mem berS and 5000 applica tionS for member ship under consideration. The local chapter has S5 members, with 50 appli- cations now being acted upon by the national office In many cases engi- neering organizations have transferred their entire membership as a body to the A.

Among these are the Navy Technical association, the Cleve- land Engineering society, the Oregon Society of Engineers, the Colorado So- ciety of Engineers, the Idaho Society of Engineers, the Southwestern Society of Engineers and the Engineers and Architects association of southern Cal ifornia.
 The keynote of the organization is cooperation. It stands for cooperation among engineers as individuals, among the different branches of engineering, with other groups, such as civic bodies and the like, and with the public.
 Members of the Phoenix chapter of the A. A. E. are expected to turn out in force tonight to greet pr. Newell and other engineer guests. All inter ested in engineering are invited to att tend the meeting.

With an appropriation of $25, 1000 by the special session of the legislature in 1918, the state committee of Amer
 icsnization work has been able to car
 " on campaign of education and of actual assistance and advice to differ ent communities so that the needs of
 the work have grown beyond the power of volunteer help to handle it effectively. The work in many cities has resulted in such great good that there is no question as to it's being continued. In other communities, diff ferent organizations have undertaken to assist and all have helped in some way. It is the desire of the state committee to still further extend it's educational campaign and to get all the various organizations of each com munity working together. This will require the services of a full time ex- ecutive secretary.
 It is also necessary that the situa- ton in the different cities should be systematically studied in order that an intelligent statement of the number of foreigners, their literacy, the possibih ties in the way of Americanization, and the most imperative needs of the state can be placed before the budget commission in time to insure a full understanding by the governor before his recommendations as to appropria- tions are made up for the legislature OL lSz1- HIS InedIS that the state committee will need at least s10.000 to finance itself until July 1, 1921.
