VOUCHES FOR PURITY
OF CITY RESERVOIR

Unfounded and baseless reports in
regard to the condition of the city
water reservoir at Gleason were de-
MED today by Supt. E. V. Leverett,
who branded as absurd the rumor that
unwholesome conditions exist there.
The reservoir was cleaned last week,
Mr. Leverett said, although the clean
ing was not required. It's bottom and
sides are absolutely clean and water
there goes into the pipes wholesome
and pure, Mr.. Leverett said. 1t has
always been cleaned at regular inter
walls.
Mr.. Leverett and M. c. Turner,
engineer for the system, are at Giea-
son this afternoon for work at the
pumping station and reservoir.
When the reservoir was construct
ed, unusual precautions were taken to
keep out animals. A barbed wire
fence surrounds it and its sides ere
built sloping so that should an animal
break through, it could climb out.
City water was never better than at
present, Mr.. Leverett said.

HELP THE STARVING

 FUR EUROPEAN FUND

'Help the Starving Riddles" Is the title of an appeal contributed to the European Relief council through its Arizona headquarters, 524 Heard build ing. Phoenix. Tt reads:
 Have you subscribed to the child feeding fund for the relief of 3,500,0o0 starving children in eastern and cen tral Europe?
 'Is your name on the subscription list?
 Don't wait to be asked.
 Hunt up the committee and give something now.
 This call is the greatest that has ever come to America. Christian civilization is on trial. Shall we let these little tots starve? or shall we give little of our plenty that they may live until the next harvest?
 By the score with every tick of the clock they are dropping off. If you could observe the hundreds of thou sands who will die for lack of food and from disease because of under norishment, march by your door, you would be appalled, by the huge propor- tions of this parade of death. March ing four abreast it would take them weeks and months just to pass your door.

 America must respond quickly.

Demonstrating New Automobile Safety
 Signal Attachment

A safety signal device of unusual merit is that which is being demon strated in the city at the present time by it's inventor. $. B. Shaw of Grand Rapids Mich.
 This device, which Is entirely auto matic, and operated from the foot board of an automobile. is mounted upon the rear of the car and clearly warns the driver behind, thus making an accident easily preventable.
 Simplicity above all else marks this signal. The usual automobile safety signal is electrically constructed. and is therefore more or less complicated. The Shaw signal is operated from the ! brake pedal and the operation of 1t soon becomes a matter of second na- ture to the driver, just a S applying the | brake becomes.
 The inventor has taken up the mat 1 ter of manufacture on a large scale with several large eastern factories, i notably the Stewart Warner company, | and at the present time this concern IS testing the device out thoroughly. i The machine is being demonstrates i in Phoenix directly across from the postoffice, on the large vacant lot, and the demonstration is in charge of w A. Sumner, who, in addition to l.. $
 Johnson, will handle the device locally Afr. Shaw, the inventor, is an eyan= gelist and left last night for Pasadena and Los Angeles, where he is to con- duet a series of meetings. He states that all the proceeds derived and to Dc derived from the sale of this sigma
 will be devoted entirely to missionary
 work.

VOCATIONAL WORK
 NEEDED IN SCHOOLS
 SAYS SUPERVISOR

That the school system has been one-aim system is the complaint made by James T. Ryan, supervisor Of trades and industries of the state de- partment of vocational education, who claims that the schools are regulated for the. college man and not the boy who must go out in the world for him. self.
 Our school system has been almost a one aim system. preparation for the university, regardless of the fact that thousands of our boys are thrown over the fence into tho industrial pool without first having been taught to swim. But worst of all. no organized provision has been made for him to learn while in the pool" declared Mir. Ryan.
 Tt is a question whether strictly vocational training can be given in the public schools to children engaged fin the common school branches, but big movement and a fine one is on foot 10 give pre-vccational or vocational guidance work and 1t is in this latter field we may look for~success as far as the day school is concerned" MT. Ryan said in discussing vocational education yesterday.
 Our success as school people, aside from this, will depend, however, on our ability in supplying special edu- cation to the enormous group of en- ployed people who find themselves lacking. We cannot live over our lives, but with little organized as- sistance we could improve them.
 "The state and federal aid Is like all new inventions, 1t Is being accept- ed, but with trepedition in some in- stances. If we look back a few days to the days when a locomotive was a q n fror rafs quered. temporarily, however. by laws requiring a man with a red flag to precede the train and warn all people l of it's coming, we may take heart in knowing 1t is still new and be patient waiting for 1t to find it's place. Today all the larger towns boast of evening classes for tradesmen, some of them short day classes for employed peo- pie. and we can begin to see the shape 1t is taking. Short courses are being offered the cotton pickers, one com- i pany paying for suchN instruction. It 1 may seem that 1t has taken a long i time to discover the real field in vo- 1 cational trades and industries, but it 1 has been held back by old ideas" said i MT Ryan.
 "The effect of state and federal aid i in promoting trade and industrial
 classes is interesting from the point | VI view or rapidly changing what has
 been very slowly changing organiza-
 tion, said Mir. Ryan. Three years ago there were no public school classes

CITRUS EXTENSION
 SCHOOL ID BE HELD
 HERE ON JAN. 1O-11

The county agricultural agents of- flee announces citrus extension school Co be staged fin the North Cen tral avenue district, on Jan. 10 and II. Two sessions will be held each day. beginning at 10 a. m. and 2 D. m. It win be under the auspices of the Ari- zona Citrus association and the Mari copa county farm bureau A similar association a year ago proved to be one of the most successful institutes of the kind ever held in Maricopa county A large attendance was present at each session and the information imparted and the interest with which it was re- Ceived resulted in a great deal of prac- tcal good to the citrus industry
 Inc present undertaking is on a big ger scale and promises to be more i'm portant still The feature of the oc- casiOn will be a discussion of the mar keting situation by c. A. McNabb at present marketing specialist for the state of New Mexico. Mir. McNabb has had wide experience in the mar ketng field with the government and various state institutions, particularly in the South.
 It is hoped that the selection of pediErocd buds. as important as the better sire" movement for livestock, will be discussed by Mir. Shamel. whose work in California has receiVed such wide spread publicity. This very im- portant topic will be handeld ably by some one ln tho event that Mir. Shamel is unable to appear.
 Prof F. J Crider of the University of Arizona will be in attendance on both days for consultation with the growers attending tho institute.
 Cover cropping. maintenance of soil fertility and spraying for the limited number or pests will be features of the program, while an organized effort looking toward the eradication of the gopher menace will also be started. A number of growers last year. as a re- suit of the citrus school, co-operatively arranged for a systematic destruction of gophers in their groves, and the re- ports of the amount saved indicate that this work has been of exceptiona Importance and has returned extraor. dinary results
 Further announcement of the differ ent features of the extension schoo win be made from time to time as fine arrangements are made. Details car be learned from the Citrus Growers association or from the county agri cultural agents office. Everyone | invited to attend the meetings, whicl win be held in some grove. where tn points being discussed may be actnall1 demonstrated.

 An exceptionally artistic decorative scheme was carried out in the effective use of wedding bells. greenerv and cut flowers, while a pretty color note was lent by the use of streamers in shades oI pink. yellow and blue.

VOICE IF FARMER
 NOW BEING HEARD 7 THROUGHOUT LAND

'"The voice of the farmer, through his organizations, is being heard in the land. and his wishes respected more than ever before" declared W. s. Stevens. president of the Arizona American Egyptian Cotton Growers association last night in commenting on the farmer relief measures passed by congress.
 "The best proof of this statement" said Mir. stevens. "is the resolution passed by congress directing the re- vivaI of the war finance corporation. This was passed by both houses, vetoed by the president. and yesterday the senate passed it over his veto, and We expect the. house to do likewise.
 "The importance of this measure to Arizona can be judged by the fact that when this war finance corporation was killed arbitrarily by Secretary Hous- ton there were before 1t applications to finance the export of s69,000,000 worth of cotton and $17 0,000 worth of Copper It is needless to point out what the export of this cotton and this copper would have done for the market on these commodities, and why the association has been working so hard to get the war finance corporation revived.

MEXICAN PROPOUNDED THE PRIZE QUESTION

Some queer questions are asked jus tices of the peace by the inuiring pub- lic,, but the strangest one propounded to former Justice Charles De Sales Wheeler was put the other day when a Mexican asked whether his daughter, whom the judge recently had married, had contracted for the job of "house- wife" for one or two years. The judge stifled a desire to laugh and informed the father that his daughter had con- tracted for the job for life.
 The Mexican said he had no objec- ton to his daughter marrying the man she married. but he wanted to know about it. He said she had not informed him of her intention to take a voyage
