CONCRETE SLAB IS
 INTRODUCED HERE

PHOENIX. June l5.-A boon for the prospective builder confronted with the enormous cost of labor and material has come to Phoenix in the form of a new building innovation. known as the Sawyer System" and invented by F. McMurray Sawyer. Las Angeles architect. who is in Phoenix looking over sites for a big building plant which he expects to have in operation within the next two months.
 The Sawyer system embraces house construction by means of cor crete slabs. easily erected for the walls of house. and will cut the present cost of production by at least 25 per cent. The plant contem- plated by the comSany will be erec-- ed in Phoenix and will be devoted t, the production of these concrete house materials. One of the fea- lures of the building system. he stated. especially adapted to the c.:- mate of Arizona. is the system of using a hollow wall developing a Va cuum between the sides which acts as check to the heat.
 The new system has been tried Out in many sections of the country out side Of Arizona branch offices of the company extending from Seattle to Texas. Following the construction Of factory here MT Sawyer expects the new system will go big in Phoe- nix as solution O: the building problem for the man in moderate cir cumstances. to whom the construc- ton of a home is practically impo-. sible because of prohibNive costs.
 With this material no skilled labor is required in building a home. M- Sawyer explained In fa.t the man who invests in one. if he has the time, can put up his own walls as there are no intricate features of the construction. consisting in merely placing concrete slabs. which are lin. ed up by a simple process.

GOVERNMENT NOW PAYING
 q AN OUNCE FOR SILVER

VI AN OUNCE FOR SILVER
 When silver dropped recently a great deal of eommen, was made on the subject and it was taken into con sideration in the United States seR- ate and Senator Pittman. father of the Pittman act sent the following ex- planaory wire 70 the secretary of the Nevada Mine Operators association. at Reno. Nev.. viz:
 Certain newspapers throughout the country are publishing state ments to the effect that hints would only accept refined silver under the Pittman ac, This is not true. The mint will accept the ordinary bullion bars as they come from the mills ani smelters, as it has heretofore don,. If bullion contains one one-thou- sandth part of gold deposit, and the SiA'cT III suSu soiu utPoSil, Ho udt ter how small or large in quantity it may be. will be paid for at tn ? rate of one dollar an ounce for each ounce therein contained of pure sil- yer, or what is termed pure
 If the bullion contains no gold. but contains six hundred one-thou- sandths silver, then il will be accept ed as a silver deposit, and paid for in the same way The expression in the act 1000 fine measures price paid for silver in bullion and does not control purity of my kind of bull lion received
 ''Mints will make small separation charge-that is separation of silver from other metals in bullion-bu: this charge is always made by smell ters al present time. have had this matter up with director of mint. and he has given orders in accord ance herewith to all hints receiving silver under the Pittman act Under the mis-construc;ion of act that have referred 10 it was charged that only refiners could take the benefit of the act. This, of course, under proper construction, which l have gir- en. is not true. In fact under Pitt man act, the necessity of sending silver to shelter and refineries is en. tirely eliminated. By reason of pub lication of governments intentions under Pittman act silver has gone up above a dollar an ounce.
 Such misconstructions and mis- understandings as l have referred to must be publicly corrected or they will be used for purpose of deceiving producers Of silver and of bearing its price. Such misconstructions will also be used, unless publicly and completely contradictej. to assist n propaganda for repeal Of Pittman ac:
 AS long as such act remains on the statute books and 1 can guarar- tee that il will not De repealed so long as present rules of senate exist, American silver will not sell below dollar ar ounce"

PREHISTORIC PEOPLES
OF SOUTHWEST BUILT
IRRIGATION bitches

That the prehistoric peoples Of
this state did a good deal if irri-
eating is proven by the remains Of
canals and bitches found in New
Mexico, as well as in other parts
of the southwest II, +. Robinson.
of the Indian irrigation bureau, in
speaking on irrigation before the
civil engineering class at the Uni
versity Wednesday, stated that he
had discovered the remains of
many large canals built by the
early jewellers of this country.
The remains of PIT miles of
bitches built by the Pueblo Indians
alone are to be found, and there
are evidences of elaborate water
systems at the ruins of the Gran
Quivira, southeast of Albuquerque,
and in the Salt River valley, Ari-
iona. Mr.. Robinson explained that
these bitches We're all dug by hand
and that clay banks and beds were
constructed where the way lay over
a sandy plain, while the method Of
blasting through rock was to heat
the rock. crack it with large stones,
and then remove it from the way.
Mr.. Robinson mentioned the fact
that irrigation and civilization have
always accompanied each other,
and that the early centers of civ
ilization were in countries requir-
ing irrigation, like Egypt, which
resembles this country in many
ways, especially in its productive
ness when irrigated. He also gave
the class the benefit of some of his
practical experience in this line
during a thirty years residence in
the state.

R. H, HANNA IS
CHIEF SPEAKER
At ROTARY MEET

r. II. Hanna was one of the
principal speakers at the Weekly
Rotary club luncheon at the Alva-
RADIO hotel yesterday His address
consisted of many interesting state
ments concerning the Indians in
this section of the country. Seven
teen different tribes of Pueblos live
in New Mexico and nineteen schools
have been provided for the educa-
ton of their children. The total
amount of land owned by the Pu-
eblos numbers 100000 acres, with
an estimated value of $6,000,000.
Judge Hanna stated that, in many
cases, Indian claims have been con-
tested by squatters and prospectors
and the government is taking
measures to settle these claims and
thus dispense with the wrangling
of the past Health reports from
the Indian settlements reveal 355
cases of tuberculosis and 1000 of
trachoma. A special staff of phys-
clans has been employed by the
government to control the spread
of disease in these quarters.

The decision of the Cunard line
to preserve the names of the LIsi-

FAIR SEX AT u. N. M.
APPEARS IMMUNE TO
EPIDEMIC OF COLDS

One of the strange facts of the
slight wave of colds and flu which
has been experienced at the Uni
versity of New Mexico is that no
girls have been confined In their
rooms with colds, and not a single
girl has been sent to the infirmary.
Whether it is that the girls have
a greater resistance than the boys,
or that they take better care of
themselves does not seem to have
been decided.
No new cases have been reported
for two or three days, with the eX-
ception of a light suspect, and no
alarm is felt that there will be any
serious development.
