TRAFFIC PRIVILEGES ASKED
 BYLOCAL DOCTORS

Phoenix physicians have petitioned the city commission for an ordinance extending the profession special traf- fic privileges. The request was made by Dr. H. R. Carson as president of the Maricopa County Medical society.
 Doctors ask the city to provide spe- cial speed regulations for them in emergency cases and to give them right of-way with traffic policemen when proceeding in response to an emergency call. They also ask a special two-hour parking privilege in the restricted districts of the business sections.
 Members of the county medical so- ciety will carry a special. emblem by which they can be easily identified, pr. Carson explained to members of the commission yesterday. It is pro- posed to mark each car with a Ca duceus emblem, the official emblem of the American Medical society. This emblem Is 3Iz inches in diameter and deep crimson enamel. it was ex- plained, making it easily visible for some distance.
 The advisability of such an ordi- nance was referred to City Manager V. A Thompson and Police Chief George O. Brisbois for consideration.

SMALL FRUIT CROP |S EXPECTED AS RESULT OF SPRING FROSTS

Except in the Salt River and Yuma valleys, the fruit crop in Arizona this year will be very small. according to report made public yesterday by L. M. Harrison, local statistician of the United States department of az riculture. Late frosts were blamed for the smallness of the crop. Almost total failure of the peach crop in Yavapai. Apache. Navajo, Giia, Cochise and Santa Cruz coun- ties was reported. Yuma county re- ported its peach crop to be about normal while the crop in Marieopa county was reported as 70 per cent of normal.
 Yavapai and Santa Cruz reported their apple crops would be about 50 per cent of normal. while Cochise said it would harvest 25 per cent of a nor nal crop Apache and Navajo coun- ties reported their crops would be al most complete failures.
 For the United States the outlook is for a poor fruit crop" said the report. Severe damage from April freezes is reported from nearly all of the principal producing states. Cali fornia reports considerable damage to the apricot, peach, apple and grape crops in several important districts. The New Mexico crop is practically a failure. Idaho, Utah and Colorado report heavy damage from the frosts Of April "A and 25. The outlook for the apple crop in Washington, Ore gon and Montana is reported as sat- isfactory."

BUILDERS MEET IN
 SPECIAL SESSION

The Builders Exchange in special session Tuesday evening enjoyed an especially interesting meeting. Wage scales from over the entire country were read and compared with Phoe- nix, and the wages here were found to average with the highest paid An interesting talk was given by John O'Malley of the OMalley Lumber company on the lumber and material pfice ranges since 1917, showing a decrease on essentials in his line of over 35 per cent, making a house that cost $6,000 last year now availa ble for about $3.S00. Other prices were compared and it was found in cleo trical goods, wire, etc. the drop in price even exceeded that in other lines and reached the 40 per cent point. Wire, 1t is pointed out. is now as cheap as it was Is years ago. this is electric wire such as used in wir- ing for ordinary purposes.
 Judge Frank O. Smith gave an in- terestfng talk on the law of liens, its purpose, intelligent uses and general results and the particular lien laws of Arizona, pointing out that each -onh of the 4S states has it's own par tichlar laws in regard to liens. The talk was enlightening and. included several well laid stories. President Tracy thanked the judge warmly in behalf of the exchange. After the usual business refreshments were served and the meeting adjourned.

The spontaneous response of the public at the commencement of our ninth anniversary sale that for volume of business surpassed by far any sale we have ever held and the splendid results already attained is extreme ly gratifying and fully convinces us that the name of the BYRD TAILORING CO. means prestige, and prestige signifies confidence, and the confidence that we have instilled in the minds of the public of Phoenix and the Salt River Valley in general, has enabled us to spell SUCCESS WITH THE WORD FAILURE. Our method of spelling success with the word failure can be summed up in one word RELIABILITY. And reliability is the one predominating factor that every successful commercial institution is founded on. We started this establishment on prac- tically nothing and in nine years we are just ly proud to state that from practically noth- ing we have built this institution up to one of the leading commercial enterprises through out the entire state of Arizona.

We want the public to thoroughly rest assured that when the BYRD TAILORING co. make promise, that promise is made in the right spirit and will be carried out to the very letter As previously stated, the wonderful results attending the commencement of our ninth anniversary sale has fully convincedus the high esteem in which the BYRD TAIL ORING co. is held by the American public of this community, and we intend to bend every energy and use every legitimate means within our power to signify that we are fully worthy of the trust and confidence reposed in us by the public of Phoenix and the Salt River Valley in general.

LONDON May 11.-Au that glitters is not gold, but lack of glitter is not a certain test for worthlessness, il was found by gold diggers along a river in Papua, British New Guinea, recently. While prospecting the men encountered a bluish- gray, flakish substance which they cast aside as worthless. Two weeks ago, two and one-half pounds of this substance was bought in the city by an Ameri- can firm for approximately s6.o00, or eight times the value of the same amount of gold.
 It was ismiridium, member of the platinum group of metals, one of the hardest metals known, and use for the tipping of fountain pens and for delicate bearings of fine machinery.

which they have put themselves. The
truth Of the matter is that they were
telling the truth in the first place and
must be lying about it now to shield
themselves. They cannot be believed
under any circumstances now. and as
the matter stands before the public
il is in the nature of Scotch verdict
guilty, but not proven" because the
main witnesses cannot be depended
upon to tell the truth under oath. It
is the most abject surrender of prin-
ciple that we have ever seen and

We learn with growing concern
from the Sunday Courier-News that
the 1. V. A. leaders have despaired
of getting the required number of sig
natures for the recall election. Then
in the next breath the same paper
calls upon the leaguers to continue to
furnish money to fgh the recall. If
they can't get the signatures there
will be no recall, will there? And if
not why this great scramble for more
money to fight something that is not
going to be? But the leaguers draw
ing pay must have money to pay
these salaries hence the need of send
ing in the money for recall that is
not going to be-according to the C.
N. Some of those chaps are going
hungry this winter if they are de-
pending on the results of the recall
election which we feel certain is going
ITO come. There is going to be
house cleaning.
1t might be interesting for those
Courier-News fellows who say that
getting signatures for the recall is a
fizzle, to know that last Thursday 971
names were received at headquarters
of the I. v. A. 1t is the easiest
thing in the world to get the sigma
lures. Very little work has been
done along these lines and most of
the work has been voluntary. There
are many people in Valley City who
want to sign petitions, but none have
been presented to them. In fact we
we do not know of any petitions in
the city except one that W.. H. Nc
Pherson has in his pocket. A syste-
matte canvass would get hundreds of
signatures in this city alone, but no
one seems to want to |pass them
