 One of the team captains pledged a $50 subscription on behalf of him. self and his wife, with an additional $500 If the full S75.000 amount is raised.
 Chairman Heard stated that the iflOSI lestluTe UT lfe SuDSCTlR- tion list appeared in the many pledges for $50 and $25 amounts from persons to whom such gifts represent real sacrifice.

 Well, let's play dance"
 Knowing the steps made no differ ence to the juvenile celebrantS at the childrens party yesterday afternoon at the Peacock where MT. and Mrs Walter Willis Powell were host and hostess to nearly 1000 little folks of the city.
 Long before the announced time for the doors to open, they began to line up, the crowd increasing until at ? o'clock the line of waiting children ex- tended more than a block from the doors. MT. Powell took a hasty survey of the crowd and sent out hurry order for 800 more sacks of candy to be added to an equal number already on hand.
 "I didn't know there were so many little ones in Phoenix" he exclaimed as the second barrel of candy was rolled in and the doors were opened. Shouts of glee marked their apprecia- ton of the decorative effects arranged especially for the occasion. From an electric fountain in the center rose a cone-like structure fairly ablaze with light. Holly, mistletoe and tinsel were arranged to give the dancing hall a truly festive appearance.
 Dancing started with the first note from the orchestra. Soon the floor was alive with merry maze of gliding stepping, running, tripping, falling, graceful children. From the corridor separated from the dance floor by railing, parents looked on the scene and registered by their expression the success their children were attaining on the floor.
 There were no restrictive bars of formality or social status. The little girl in the silk party dress found pleasure in dancing with the boy in khaki coveralls. The first grade youngster circled the floor with a CO., ed about to graduate into the high school class. Every one was there for a good time and they all seemed to find it.
 One of the features of the afternoon was a solo dance by Viola Hartman in an Egyptian interpretation. Miss Hartman is a pupil of Edna, Paul Beware and judging from her per- formance yesterday is rapidly develop ing exceptional artistic abilities. An Albarcda group dance was presented by three talented little girls: Minnie Ash, Helen Han1ey and Grace May Jones. who aall showed grace and beauty of movement and harmonious unison of action. Songs were inter polated into the well-filfed program by Charlotte Walker and Flo Lorraine.

 At the close of business on Wednes- day, December 31, the entire employe force, approximating 135 men and women, were called to the second floor of the store where MT. Korricks in brief address, expressed his apprecia- ton of the tremendous success during the year 1919 of the Korrick store.
 Mir. Korrick referred to the co-oper- ation of the Korricks Employees Ben evolent association, an organization of the employees within that institution for the purpose of the development of efficiency and the success of the busi ness.

With Campaign Barely Starte e d Subscriptions Pour In And Make Work CTS Confident Of Certain Victory

With the announcement of pledges totalling more than s25,100 as a result of three days of merely preliminary ranvaSs, the meeting of the friends of Trinity church last night at the cathedral house started the campaign for the raising of funds for the new cathedral in a most substantial man. ner. As the result of this meeting the leaders in the movement are jubilant and are expressing the fullest confi- dcnce in the ultimate success of the work Prominent among the leaders ire w. E. Twitchell, Franklin T.. Lane. Dwight B. Heard and F.. T. Bennett.
 The Trinity church meeting opened with strains from Onward Christian Soldiers and an invocation by Bishop Julius w. Atwood. Dwight B. Heard presided. In his opening address Chair man Heard reminded the workers that
Arizona republican., 1920-01-02

the campaign is on for raising s75,000 of a S125,OOO fund for the erection of Trinity cathedral the balance of the fund being already available, and that while the pledge cards provided that only $50, 900 was to be raised by Febru- binding, it was hoped to have the en- tire sum available by that date.
 Shows Militant Spirit
 The chairman then. commented upon the militant spirit shown by the mem . bers of the church during the big war, and remarked that he counted upon that same spirit in peace times to fight for the welfare of the church He said, in part:
 We all know that the present church auditorium is crowded to ca pacity. Unless we enlarge our ac- comodations our growth must Stop- If the group of men and women at this dral the building can be accomplished. It merely takes faith, courage and en- thusiasm."
 Dean William Scarlett followed with an address in which he urged the best endeavors of the workers.
 "The community is growing with ex- tieme rapidity." he said, and If the church is to keep pace with it and grasp the opportunity that is pre- scented, We must build the cathedral now.''
 He referred to numerous discussions outside the church among persons eager to help with the work. and con- cluded by saying:
 Means Real Sacrifice
 '1t is going to mean effort and sac rifice, but I am sure it is going to be done"
 The social service of Trinity church was brought out at length by Bertrand R. Cocks, who has been giving his time to working among the unfortu- mates who flock to Phoenix in search of health. He brought out the work of the St Luke's home here in striking fashion. and showed what the home has done for the tubercular visitors and others who have come to Phoenix for physical benefits.
 years ago." he said. with a total capi- tai of $6.OO0. It was closed in the fol- lowing June for lack of funds, but opened again several months afterward. Now the home has buildings worth more than s60.000 located in Phoenix and Prescott. besides an endowment of 50.000, and has expended more than $l50, 1000 for actual services rendered to the sick.
 We could have built cathedral with the funds we have used in Phoe- nix for the afflicted ones, but we pre- ferred that the cathedral should wait so that the church could perform the social service work immediately at hand"
 Want Real Cathedral
 In conclusion the speaker referred good naturedly to the fact that both he and Bishop Atwood had been busted from their quarters in the cathedral house to make room for the social service work, and he maintained that the building of the cathedral cannot be delayed any longer.
 The final speaker last night was Bishop Atwood. He outlined the growth of the cathedral project from its be- ginning with the purchase of lots on Central avenue more than 12 years ago, bought, as he said, mostly on faith and sacrifice.
 For several years." the bishop said, i've have had pro-cathedral but the emphasis has been on the pro" and not on the cathedral" In this day of opposition to hyphenated names we want to abolish the pro" and obtain the cathedral We want not merely a parish church, but a cathedral church

 After explaining that the wonderful loyalty and cooperation of the organ ization had not only been largely ill- strumental in the success of the busis ness, but had contributed greatly te contentment and happiness in the store, Mir. Korrick then distributed 10 the employees checks for 10 per cent of their December salaries.
 Not to be outdone in an exhibition of the spirit of New Years and as an expression of their esteem, the enf- ployes' association at the same meetz ing effected an entire surprise upon MT. Korrick by presenting him with a handsome chair for his home. A

A general discussion took place as

The practice of selling a ferry

unanimously condemned. stating
that the method was unfair to the
Algiers people who are not only OBJ

privilege of living in Algiers, but
that the upset price paid for a fran

The Wonders Of America
HE'LL GATE BRIDGE.
BY T. T. MAxEY

THE completion Of the New York
i Connecting railroad gave us our
first all-rail through route from New
England, via New York, to the rest
of America and a continuous rail line
up and down the Atlantic coast from
Key West to Halifax. Ii also calls
to mind the fact that the insurmount-
able obstacle which had heretofore
blocked the way had been overcome
and the supposedly impossible accom-
plished.
Before this route could be opened.
It was necessary to get trains across
that terror to navigators, the rocky
bottomed tidal channel, known as
"Hell Gate" between Long Island
shore and Wards Island in the East
river, opposite Manhattan Island on
which New York city proper stands.
1t was not possible to sink piers into
the channel, and the stretch was con-
sidered too great to be covered by
one arched span. An engineer with
vision came to the rescue and trains
now cross on q wonderful four-tracked
steel bridge. A peerless, steel arch. l.
OFT feet long, said to b the longest
a. well as the heaviest ever flung
across any waterway Of equal width,
now bridges the gap. The entire
weight Is carried BY gigantic 25O-foot
high towers on either shore. The
bridge Il 90 feet wide, designed to car
~ 10000 pounds per linear foot The
extreme height Of the arch Is more
than 800 feet above the water.
About 1900 tons Of steel were used.
The towers are bedded In solid rock,
and It Is estimated that they contain
5000, 900 cubic feet Of masonry. The
bridge cost 81, ooo.0 900.
