TOTAL IN SEAL SALE CANPAIGN
 REACHES S3959
Incomplete Returns For Fifth Day Of Drive Show
 $309 Received-Kiwanis Teams Planning Surprise

Although complete returns from all workers in the Maricopa County Anti Tuberculosis and Christmas seal and health bond campaign were not avail able last night. $309.5o was reported. which brings the total to $395s.50. Kjwanis club leaders held their figures in reserve. declaring they were ''going to spring a surprise" at the end of the week.
 Pastors of Phoenix churches held a meeting yesterday and decided to as- sist the good cause by calling special attention to 1t at services tomorrow. They were of the general opinion that Maricopa county can best protect and better it's own interests by assisting to promote the fight against tuberculosis which was started in an organized manner last March through the forma- ton of a temporary clinic.
 Great interest in the work also is being manifested by the Mexican popu- lation- At a meeting of Mexican lead CTS yesterday it was decided to call a big mass meeting Monday night and organize a complete working force to sell Christmas seals and health bonds.
 According to T. c. Cuvellier, execu- tive secretary of the Arizona Anti Tuberculosis association, the present pressing need in the fight against the white plague" is space to accommo- date patients.
 Through the establishment of a per manent clinic we will soon be in a po- sitfon to furnish medical and nursing attention to many afflicted people who arc practically without funds. but we still will be confronted with the great problem of providing beds for them " he said. That the present campaign would bring about a solution for this situation was the opinion of MT. Gu velIier, who predicted that sufficient money over the $10.000 goal would be raised to permit of expanding sana- torium arrangements on a considerable scalo.
 Evidence that tuberculosis Is cur able Is plentiful" MT. Cuveliler as- serted. "Right here in Phoenix we can point to many who have recovered from the ravages of the disease. Fresh air, cleanliness, scrupulous care. abso- lute rest and wholesome foods is a pre- scription which brings wonderful re. suits. Considering the comparatively simple and effective treatment, it 1: almost criminal that so many shoult fall victims to the disease because oi Insufficient funds to obtain the neces. sary rest and food.

NEW IDEA IN MOTIVE POWER
Vertical Vanes Used in WindmiIIs
ForestaII Possibility Of Idleness
in Any Weather.

Europe Is facing a serious shortage
of fuel, of all kinds. Coal, gas, gaso-
line, wood, alc0hol-all these fuels are
lacking. The result is that inventors
have turned out in force to solve the
power problem in new ways. A French
inventor has developed new form of
windmill in which vertical vanes are
used. The advantages of this form are
said to be: POwer-no matter in what
direction the wind Is blowing; noise
less operation the windmill does not
have to turn about, with consequent
loss of time; there is no danger from
strong winds or gales; it develops
five times the power derived from usual
forms of windmills there is practical
ly no upkeep or operating expense.
The builder says that he is ready to
undertake the building of such wind
mills in all capacities from one-half to
100 horse power and over. The wind
mill is recommended to be run in con-
nection with an electric generator and
storage battery, so that, when the
wind is blowing, electrical energy is
stored up for use during the calm
weather. However, 1t Is estimated
that the windmill can operate in prac-
tically any weather, and but very few
idle days are encountered throughout
the year, writes Hereward Darlington
in Leslie's. This windmill may prove

"How?" with "Why?" And he puzzles

In the world
The people who ask why have made
our discoveries for us, and they are
still doing it. Why does the steam lift
the teakettle lid? We grew familiar
with James Watt in our childhood.
Why do we spend so many thousands
every year on labor turnover? That
question has turned plenty of indus
trial plants upside down, with the dou-
BILE result of great saving and an
increase in the comfort and happiness
of working men and women.
The big thing is that there are just
as many why's left to ask as anyone
has answered. The big trouble is that
the man who asks usually has to dig
for his own answer Just this digging
has made many great reputation.

PROOF OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP
What More Could Be Asked Of Any
Man Than the Sacrifice That
Is Here Recorded

There are various ways of evfdenc-
ing true friendship. Sorrow and suf-
fering bring out the best in others, but
it is our habit to be sympathetic and
not always does it prove that sympa-
thy and friendship are akin. When a
man will lend you money without COL
lateral he is indeed friend.
But we find our true friends in 9TH
er ways. The other day we were In a
hurry and we needed a hair cut. So
we beat it into our favorite barber
shop to find our favorite barber busy,
and q man ahead of us.
We were about to depart without the
trim we sorely needed, when the man
ahead of us spoke up:
you always have the same barber,
don't you?"
yep" we replied.
"Well, I'm next for his chair, but
I'm in no hurry. You just go ahead
and take my turn. I'll watt
There was friendship for you, and as
we thanked him for his kindness we
couldn't help remarking:

PLAN TO MOVE FRENCH DEAD
Million Fallen Heroes to Be Trans-

Near Future.

Paris.-France's 100000 war dead
are soon to be transferred to perma-
nent military cemeteries or reinterred
in private burying grounds, at the op-
ton of relatives.
It may be many months before the
work is even well under way, but the
start is to be made soon, under author
ity Of laws passed at the last session
of parliament and now made effective
by DEGREES.
A separate monument, of design
not yet adopted, will be put at the
head of each grave, and the care Of the
military grounds will devOlve upon the
government in perpetuity.
Sanitation and lack of transpOrta-
ton has delayed the assembling of the
bodies but it has been decided that
by careful planning the work may be
done without danger to health or to
industry.

PHRASE CREDITED TO JESTER
How Expression "A Bird in the Hand
Is Worth Two in the Bush"
Became Current.

Some of the cant phrases that fall
most trippingly from the tongue to-
day had origin many centuries ago.
and among them is the somewhat OBJ
viOus statement that "a bird in the
hand is worth two in the bush" the
Detroit News observes. The start
of that remark is credited to a belled
jester in the court Of registering King
Henry VIII, whose job, if not his life,
depended on his impudence, an i'm
pudence that must needs combine wit,
stab and laughter, and while he was
given wide latitude in his insults
to members of the court, ne had to
take close care not to let his stabs
reach the kingly pride of the overly
thin skin of whoever happened to be
favorite at the moment
Lord Surrey, a becurled dandy Of
the palace, one time presented the
jester with kingtisher, after he had
neatly barbed an enemy Of Surveys
with his biting tongue and caustic wit.
A few hours later Lord HalntOn. a
fellow of Surveys, set up great
waling when he discovered the king

had been given to the court Jester.
"Odds BLOOD" roared Surrey. Go get
it from the jester, and tell the fool
I'll send him another some time soon"
But the fool refused to give up his
bird. and sent back word that, with
all due respect to his lordship, he held
that a bird in the hand was worth
two in the BUSH

When the ticket was bought the pur-

going. He replied, "They have already
gone"

BARREN" ISLANDS HAVE
MADE OWNERS FORTUNES.
Situated in the Pacific ocean,
nearly midway between Ameri-
ca and Asia, is Nauru, barren
bit of rock only twelve miles In
circumference.
Thirty or forty years ago al
most anybody could have had it
for the asking. Today it Is worth
untold millions, owing to the be-
lated discovery that the whole
island is neither more nor less
than mass of phosphate rock,
the most wonderful soil fertiliz-
er known to agriculturists.
In Conception bay, Newfound-
land, is Bell island, sold by its
original owner many years ago
for $500. Soon afterwards 1t
changed hands again, for $4,000
OOO.
This enormous rise in value
was due to the accidental dis
covery that the island is COM
posed almost entirely of iron
ore.
For years previously shipmas-
ters had been in the habit of
taking the heavy, easily handled
rock for ballast, dumping it ov-
erboard with the utmost uncon-
Germ when they loaded up with
cargo.
Then, one day, captain, more
curious than the others. had the
strange looking crock" assayed.
and his fortune was made.
Not very far away, in the Gulf
of St. Lawrence, is AnticOsti
island, bought in 1895 from the
Dominion government by Nj.
Henry Menier, the French "choc-
olate king" for f25,OOO ($125,-
OOO). At the time he was
laughed at.
But it proved a good invest
ment for him, nevertheless, for
the thick brushwood with which
the greater part of the island
was covered proved to be swarm
ing with black and silver foxes,
the most valuable fur bearing
animals in the world.
