measures

UlNA@u res.
The bill would provide for TIE ap-
pointne mt OF a health commissioner
IN each county. This commissioner
would devote his entire time to
keeping away disease and improving
the public health.
Iir. +. y. Hurty. secretary OF the
state beard OF health. points out
what ne onsiders three fatal de-
1ects' in the present health law.
These are:
% Health officers are praeticing
sectors, giving what time they
choose 10 public health work.
30 Health officers practicing doc
tors in competition with their broth
er doctors and therefore cannot Sc
cure their cooperation. Without this
cooperation present health officers
are only partially successful.
Cd Health officers practicing cur
ative medicine are with few ex-
captions uninfCrmed and uusrain-
ed II hygiene and disease preVen-
ton work. Their education and
training is in the line of the pound
OF cure aid not in the line Of the
ounce OF prevention Hence they
are not efficient and economical TO
the state.
Would Mean No New Office.
The establishment OF a county
health commissioner in each county
would not mean the creation OF a
new Office, according TO DR.. Hurry.
but would simply make the old office
more efficient BY eliminating the
town ana city health officers and
providing in their places one train
"a health expert an economy would
be erected, DR.. Hurry believes
The law should contain the fol-
lowing provisions respecting the
county health commissioner, Or.
Hurry says:
His salary should be a living one
graoCd by the number Of people ne
seT' es' his duties and powers should
be clearly defined; he should keep
full and accurate records Of his
work; he should be subordinate 10

 TO COMPANY TODAY
rRepubIIcan A. p. Leased wIrel

DENVER, Aug. 22.-G. Y. Harry, federal labor conciliator, tomorrow will present to the Denver Tramway company the terms of an agreement under which striking trainmen are willing to return to work. Until that time officials of the mems union re- fuse to make public the terms, which were adopted at a mass meeting of the strikers this morning, but they declare they include recognition of the union and discharge of all strike breakers. The strike was called three weeks ago today.
 A resolution also was adopted at to- days meeting condemning the recent attacks on street cars manned by strikebreakers in Globeville, suburb of Denver.
 The resolution. which was made public. read in part as follows:
 We call upon all members of this organization to use their best en- deavors to prevent such occurrences in the future and to guard where pos sible against any injury or destruction of the company's property or the mo- lestation of it's employees"
 Cars, manned by strikebreakers, have been operating on all lines for several days. For some time the cars had been unguarded but yesterday armed soldiers again made their ap- pearance as guards on cars on several lines. The guards continued to ride on the cars today. Attacks were made on cars Friday evening and yesterday.

BUENOS AIRES MAKES
 PROBE IF HIGH RENT

BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 22.-Startl- ing living conditions as the result of high rents in Buenos Aires are dis closed in a report by Alejandro Bunge, director general of national statistics.
 Eighty of each hundred families occupy only one room, he says. Of this so per cent, .19 families consist of four persons. 20 of five, Il of six. of eight, two of nine and one of Il per sons all living in one room in each case.'
 Comparing the respective positions of a workman in the United States and in Argentine, he cites the case of a bricklayer who in the United States with the wages earned in 1900 working days could have built a house in 1919 which here would have taken the wages earned in $500 days"
 However. he finds that the cost of necessities in the United States other than rent is about 50 per cent higher than in this country.

ADJUSTMENTS
Riverside Park

This afternoon and evening River side Park will again be the scene of many picnics. This is ideal picnic weather, and Phoenix is quick to req lize the advantages of the park as a place for this sort of entertainment. The ample playgrounds, the shade, the lawns, and the big pool, where the fresh water is kept thoroughly clean and free from impurities, all enhance the value of the popular amusement center, and the cooler weather has brought out hundreds of picnic par ties.
 This evening dancing will hold forth at the ample ballroom, where King Brady and his jazz band will or course furnish the music.
 Tomorrow, Wednesday and Thurs day evenings are ring nights. On these evenings some lady is awarded genu- inc diamond, set in a IA kit. solid gold mounting. The drawing takes place at 10:3 30, and the award is immediately made. There are no conditions, noth- ing to hinder any lady from entering the race. As the ladies pass onto the ballroom floor they are given a mum Der, and from these numbers one is drawn, entitling the holder to the ring. Thursday night is Cinderella night, when the management will provide the prettiest pair of ladies shoes to be had in Phoenix. To the lady who can wear them they will be given. It is the story of Cinderella brought up to date, and should prove quite a feature.

The view of crew reefing sail during a terrific storm at sea is one of the most ef- fective scenes thrown on a screen in long time.
 The story of Under Crimson Skies" deals with the attempt of gun runner to Smuggle a. cargo of munitions to the revolutionists of a South American republic and the false imprisonment of Captain Barstow, who is forced to shoot the ringieader of the crew during an attempted mutiny. How the cap tain makes his escape from the vile dungeon. becomes the master of a gang of beach combers, and later comes to the rescue of the Ameri- can colony just as the plot of the conspirators is about to be turned on their own heads afford material for one of the most thrilling and interesting photoplays of the year. There is the necessary love interest to give the story the proper touch of sentiment, and a fight on the beach between two physical giants-Elmo Lincoln and Noble Johnson-gtyes the picture a tremendous punch.
