PHOENIX SOON MAY
 HAVE SECOND TROOP
 IF STATE CAVALRY

Troop A of the Arizona National Guard is now at full peace strength, and owing to the fact that a number of applications for enlistment are still towing in the adjutant general has authorized the formation of a second troop for Phoenix.
 The officers of troop A will have charge of recruiting for the second troop until the minimum of 70 men are enlisted, whereupon these TO men will elect their own officers, and pro- ceed to the enlistment of enough troop CTS to make full strength, after which the new troop will make application for inspection and mastering in. The armory at Second and Jefferson streets will be open every night this week and Sunday morning to receive applica- tionS.
 Troop is now awaiting inspection and probably will be mustered in with in a week or ten days. It will be a big thing for Phoenix to put over the second troop in time to be mustered in at the same time, and prospective troopers are therefore urged to sign up early this week.
 A big advantage to the individual trooper in getting in early and helping with the preliminary recruiting work is the fact that the non- n-commissioned officers will be appointed from those troopers who show the most interest in getting the new troop mustered in.

MRS, JOHN DENNETT.
 JR., ID REPRESENT
 Y.W.C.A. AT BIG MEET

At the March meeting of the board of directors of the Phoenix Young Women's Christian Association Mrs. John Dennett, Jr., and Mrs. Lee Pur- vines were elected to represent the local association at the sixth national convention of the national Young Women's Christian Association.
 The convention meets in Cleveland, Ohio, April 1920, and will be attended by representatives of local city, stu dent, town and country associations from all parts of the United States.
 The last convention was held in Los Angeles in 1915, and although it was supposed to meet again in 1917, due to the stress of war conditions, the meeting was postponed until this year. In addition to the accrued business naturally arising from the postpone ment of the convention, there is also a greatly enlarged national responsibiI- ity due to the war program and the new needs of women in foreign countries.
 There are three extremely important questions of policy to come before the convention. The first is the aemnd- mept to the constitution presented at ratified or annulled at this confer ence- This amendment permits the alternate use when desired of a per- sonal profession as a basis of mem bership in student associations, rather than the now necessary church mem bership basis.
 The second covers hours, wages and condition of labor, child labor and democracy in industry.
 The question of finance policy cov- ering the support of national and field work, is the third one of the interest," ing problems of the convention
 Mrs. w. F. Hartford of Omaha, Neb., nf hn Christian Associations of the United States of America, will preside at the opening of the convention.
 Arizona vii be represented by dele gates from Bisbee, Douglas and Tue son as well as the Phoenix delegates, and the Pacific coast field, of which Arioona is part, will be represented by many delegates from the field com mlttee- Phoenix is particularly fortu- nate in having Mrs. John Dennett, Jr. as delegate. for she will represent not only the local association, but will also be one of the representatives of the field committee, of which she is a member.

]. ]. ]. K. PARADE |I;
 CHANDLER TONIGHT

The D. O. K. K. ceremonial is never complete without the big parade, and this will take place at Chandler this evening, surpassing all former efforts in grandeur and interest. The streets of Chandler will be alight with the burning of red fire.
 In years gone by these parades all ways attracted wide attention and large crowds gathered to witness the terrible sacrifice the tyro must make to gain admittance to the temple.
 "On the occasion of the parade you see your friends at a time when they would rather not see you" says an an1 nouncement of the parade received by The Republican last night. They will appear in hideous costumes, with chains hanging about them. Kokanna is in his glory when he can lead his band for a journey across the desert.
 How are all the votaries going to get to Chandler? Automobiles, of course, for every yotary who owns a machine should be there promptly at 5: 30 o'clock sharp. as Royal Vizier Evan Wilson wants every one to go."
