that the operation of the Law should be
uniform.
BY various acts OF Congress the
annual requirement of 500 worth Of
work on unpatented mineral claims
was suspended for the calendar years
1917. 1918 and 1919 The act approx
ed December 81. 1920 Public. No.
290b. did not relieve the owners OF
such claims from this requirement but
merely extended the time for doing
the assessment work OF 1920 TO July
/. 1921. II was distinctly understood
at the time this act was passed that no
further exemptions from assessment
work would be granted and that all
mining claims on which such work
has not been performed will be sub
ject to location by any qualified To-
Gator who posts his notices on the
ground after midnight Of July I. 1921.
The six months extension OF time,
however. makes the enactment of the

the stockmen OF Arizona, is a special
report on range and livestock condi.
tions in Arizona just issued by the 10
Gal Office of the L. S. Bureau of Crop
Estimates. That the ranges in the
eastern and southern counties are IN
critical condition is confirmed by
the report. Conditions have declined
during the month in thees counties
and feeding is general over the great
er part OF the drought-stricken area.
In some instances. stockmen are find
ing it dificult further TO finance their
operations.
tions in the eastern and southern coun-
ties is the favorable outlook for sum.
mer feed in the higher attitudes IN
the northern counties. In Mohave and
Coconino counties, ranges are report
edin very good condition, except in
some parts OF eastern Coconino coun-
ty. Navajo and Apache counties re-
port feed conditions satisfactory in
the southern districts. but poor in the
central and northern sections. due to
the dry weather and late spring. In
Yavapai county. conditions are spot

higher attitudes but only fair to poor
in other parts OF the county. Giia
county conditions are reported fair 20
poor.
The following comments from the
Bureaus correspondents in Cochise
county are particularly interesting.
They indicate the local conditions as
seen by the stockmen themselves;
Tombstone: North to Dragon and
east to Sulphur Springs Valley cattle
are holding their own. Feed mostly
soap plant blossoms. bear grass and
mesquite. Grass is getting less every
day and water shorter. Many springs
are about dry.
Bisbee: Range pastures in this sec
tion are very poor and dry. There has
been no rain TO speak OF for two
years. Cattle are dying.
Douglas: Range in very bad con-
dition. Cattle are being fed.
Lowell: Pastures are no good. but
a good crop OF mesquite beans is help
ing out materially
Wilcox: Condition OF range in
this section very poor. No rain here
during the winter and spring.
McNeal: No grass or weeds. only
mesquite blossoms and beans.
Bowie: Pasture is a failure here.
Cattle are being fed cotton seed from
the Yuma valley, and hay from the
Gila valley.
Tombstone: The range is in worse
condition now than in any year since
1905.
San Simon: Pastures here only 80
per cent of normal, due TO the drought.

PAVED HIGHWAY FROM
VALLEY TO COAST Possiel

PHOENIX, June 6.-Possibilities of
paved highway to connect Phoenix
with Southern California and coast
points were outlined last night by Col.
W. A. Giassford OF the chamber Of
commerce good roads committee and
a genuine good roads enthusiast.
Encouragement to believe that such
highway may be realized within
the near future was given last Sat
u-day when Governor stephens of
California signed a bill appropriat-
ing s350.o00 for the construction Of
a highway from FL Centroi. Califor-
MIA. TO Yuma, Ariz. To meet this first
California paved road to touch Arizona
is partly paved road from Yuma to
Phoenix via Buckeye. Paving of the
road from Phoenix to Buckeye is al
ready under way and State Engineer
Maddox has recommended that the
road from Buckeye to Gila Bend and
south along the ella river he paved
With the exception of two short
stretches. the highway from Yuma
to Welton is now paved. In view of
the action taken by the state OF Cali
fornia it is very probable that the
links in Arizona will soon be paved
Commenting upon the FL Centro-
Yuma highway, Colonel Glassford
said that the San Diego chamber of
commerce. with many public spirited
men of the California city. recently
paid visit to Yuma TO confer with
the chamber OF commerce of that
place as TO he practicability OF
building the road from Yuma to El
Centre either over or around the
ridge of sand hills that intervene
west OF Yuma The California dele
CATION promised to send engineers
10 determine whether the route over
the sand hills or the one around
them was the most practical.
The sand hill ridge is less than 80
miles across. or almost half the dis
tance from Yuma to Ell Cen;ro
Colonel Glassford pointed out that
several years ago a plank road was
made across this stretch of sand.
but il was not well maintained and
finally fell into disuse. II followed
an electric power line across the
sand dunes. One route around the
sand hills follows the Southern Paci-
fic railroad to INLAND This route
is about - miles in length. II has
the advantage of paralleling the rail-
road lines and its series of water
ing places.
From INLAND one can go by Braw-
ley 10 San Diego or Los Angeles. The
San Diego road passes through the
Imperial Valley TO FL Centro. 35
miles from which there is a paved
road to the mountains and a very fine
gravel road over mesa and the noun
tains into San Diego.
The connecting up Of Yuma with
the splendid highway system in Cal
ifornia is most important to Ari-
zona, and particularly to its capital
city, in the opinion of Colonel Glass
ford. who points out that it crosses
the Colorado river on an excellent
bridge. which eliminates dangers
common to ferry crossings. This
route will carry the motorist through
the grain and cotton fields OF the
Salt River valley into the Gila Bend
district and along the Gila river with
its scattering of fields and orchards
into the Laguna dam district. Then
the crossing is made into the Imper-
ial Valley of California. Throughout
the trip there is a show Of natures
wonders and mans enterprises that
attracts every traveller.

IF instincts and feelings like any other
girl. The problem is to develop the
right ones and let the others fade out,
especially to correct outside influ-
ences, so that the worse ones will not
be morbidly kept on edge. Plainly
early Intervention and thorough and
sympathetic guidance are necessary.
These are the methods of the Pro-
baton and Protective Association, ex-
ercised through its establishments,
Waverly House. ; clearing house for
girls needing care; Hillcrest Farm, a
community for unadjusted girls; a
mental clinic, the Girls Protective
League, service clubs, an employment
exchange, a summer camp and other
agencies.
The work being done touches many
hundreds of girls annually. So far as
possible the cases are kept out of
court and by personal care the period
of risk is tided over. In this way the
subject is gradually merged in the
community with restored balance and
hardly even definite consciousness Of
the drift upon which she had started

No Type Of Delinquent Girl.

There is no such thing as a delin-
quent type among girls. Those who
fall from grace are Of all sorts. Fac
tors in their mentality may contribute
to their errancy but SO do their cir
cumstances and surroundings. Just
as scientists now reject LoMBRoso's s
idea Of the criminal type, the man cut
out by nature for evil ways, so 1t ap-
pears an analytic study of cases re-
suits in the conclusion that the in
corrigible girl, the difficult girl, is
not type. She is just problem.
What is called "cross section
study" Of 495 girls made by officials
of the New York Probation and Pro-
tective Association is the basis for
this theory of individualism. 1t is
embodied in the annual report OF
MAUDE e. MINER, the secretary, who
gives a picture of the average girl
who is In danger Of passing over the
line between respectability and first
offence. She Is generally sixteen or
seventeen years old, with back.

the work is dull, mechanical and un

OF course there are variations; but
this is a broadly truthful picture.
Mentally the girl is likely to vary
far more than her background. About
SO per cent. are absolutely normal ;
only per cent are mentally diseased
and 2 per cent. epileptic; less than a
third are in any way defective. Some
times II is their mental advantage
which in the absence OF guidance

She aspires TO a better home, better
education, better work. She has some
definite ambition. If she had not she

and either win her back to her friends
and them to better sympathy and un-
derstanding of her, or else extend
proper advice, encouragement and
guardianship to her.
In fact, all the young girls difficult

largely matters Of adjustment. Even

to delinquency. II other qualities In
the girls nature can be stimulated,
her love for family and friends, her
self-respect, regard for public opinion,

Education in Politics.
Town Meetings and Conventions
Makers of Good Americans.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: / he~zs
lily agree with your editorial article e.
THE Fall of State Primaries" but the
good work should not end with the pres
ent enactment. The control OF volun-
tary organization should be wholly vol
untary; it should not depend upon stat
utory regulation at all.
The position of a political party IN
the affairs of the State should be mads
to depend upon the intelligence and ip-
tegrity with which its internal affairs
arc regulated; its success at the polls
should hinge upon the wisdom with
which Its policies and its spokesman are
chosen. and beyond the point of preserv-
ing peace and good order the State has
no interest in this question. for it may
safely depend upon political parties to
exploit the shortcomings of rivals.
Did You ever stop to think Of the vast
educational value of the New England
town meeting and the political caucus
and convention? There is never any
occasion for teaching Americanism to
newcomers where these institutions are
running; the newcomer absorbs Ameri-
canisn. It is a part of the everyday
life Of the rural communities. and the
ambitions of men prompt them to in
duct the foreigner into the problems at
selfshness of men is always at work
for the development Of citizens with
knowledge of public affairs.
Americanism is peculiarly political
matter. and the doors are swung wide
open to the foreigner in the system which
operates throughout the year, and is
brought into activity at the first call for
caucus or convention, and the Amer
lean himself learns the methods of polit-
ical action. The writer sat in a gather

That Governor MILLER has been
thoroughly conscientious in the selec-
tion of the men named for the Tran
sit Commission of New York city and
for the Public Service Commission is
certain. THE NEW YORK HERALD has
no doubt in respect Of this.
But The New York HERALD Is not
thrilled over the calibre of the men
for the great business problems they
are called upon to handle. THE NEW

these commissions filled by strong
headed men who have won their spurs
