The need for a new jail long has
been felt here, but when a bond issue
for a new structure was submitted
some time age i was defeated at the
polls. The question was brought up
again recently however, by plans to
install a new Gamewell police signal
system. Two weeks ago the city
commission decided to withhold aC-
ton on the installation contract until
it could be determined whether ii
would be possible to provide a new

"LIKE A CROWN ON A PEASANT

L rum d N4tlllld Letter 10 Inc new
York World
AT this time Vienna presents an
astonishing anomaly. Its museums.
art galleries. colleges, medical schools
and imperial residences; its profuse
sculptures, its magnificent opera
house, its NoIksoper, it's fourteen
theaters, its numerous concert halls
and variety entertainments, its lux
urious shops, hotels and far famed
cafes and restaurants; its ceaseless
stream of motor cars and carriages,
are, in view of the country's finan-
cial condition and of the sensational
reports which have been circulated of
the city's restitution and misery, a
source Of constant establishment to
the stranger.
Vienna today has been well des-
cribed by a visitor as like crown
of rich and glittering gems on the
head of a peasant. Its art and
luxury are the jewels of fallen
grandeur. Unless it should take
fresh lease of life as the chief city
of a Danubian confederation, as the
culture and financial center of the
young states which have sprung out
of the ramshackls Austrian empire
ruin. this proud and stately metropo-
lis obviously must fall into desuetude
and decay, grass will grow between
| the stones of its renowned Ring and
! sumptous Karntner Strasse, and
moss on the walls of its crumbling
/ palaces"
/ We'll dressed and light hearted
/ loungers seem bindly unconscious or
/ blandly careless of the tremendous
change which has come over their
/ country" remarked the visitor re-
ferred to, who was struck by many
/ things which have ceased to impress
a resident. Opera house, theaters'
4 cafes. restaurants and hotels are
crowded and il is a notable fact that
the higher the prices of hotels and
restaurants the more crowded they
are. u.
Here is a country OF million

POSTOFF|CE WILL
HAVE SUB-STAT|Q|V
FOR XMAS SEASON

The first and perhaps the most
joyful of Christmas expressions OF
good will are being heard in and near
the federal building where the en-
ployes of the postoffice are rejoicign
over the fact that Phoenicians have
started their Christmas mailing. An
announcement yesterday to this eff
feet also carried the request that the
good work which has been started
may be kept up during the first weeks
of December so that Uncle Sam may
have fun opportunity to cooperate
with Santa Claus in the delivery of
yuletide gifts and messages.
Although Phoenicians are taking
time by the forelock and are doing
without urging what usually requires
a lot of propaganda on the part of the
mail authorities, there is little Christ
mas mail coming into the city, but
the rush is expected to begin at any
time.
That there may be on slowing down
OF the work of the local postoffice
a substation for the receipt of pack
ages will be established on Washing
ton street near Third street between
''Ne tenth and fifteenth OF the month.
Two stamp clerks will be at this sub
station to receive packages going out
of Phoenix. No letters win be taken
there. The substation also will act
as a distributing point of incoming
packages. all of which during the
Christmas season will be taken from
this station to their destinations
throughout the city. All the wagons
of the postoffice viii make this sta
ton their headquarters during the
season. No packages, however. will
be distributed TO individuals at this
station.
But more important than the sub
station is the warning:
DO your Christmas mailing early!"
