SCHOLARSHIP PRIZE IN NATIONAL ESSAY
 CONTEST ON ROADS

An Arizona girl or boy has the chance of winning a university scholarship through the offer of H. s. Firestone of Akron, Ohio, who will pay for the education of the win ner in an essay contest on Good Roads and Highway Transport"
 The bureau of public roads has asked the cooperation of Thomas Madock, state engineer, in getting the matter before the public.
 Believing that a great deal of good can be accomplished in bringing the problem of road construction and highway transport to the attention of high school pupils and their par ents and enlisting their interest, the government is behind the plan which was advanced by MT. F'irestone last year.
 The rules of the contest are set forth in the following letter received by MT. Maddock:
 April 21. 1921. MT. Thomas Maddock,
 State Engineer.
 State Highway Department,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:
 The highway and highway trans port education committee has re- quested H. S. Firestone, Akron, Ohio, to repeat this year his offer of a university scholarship to the winner of an essay contest to be held in the high schools throughout the country. He has kindly consented to do SD, and the contest will be announced imme- diately. The subject selected is Good Roads and Highway Trans port" The contest will be open until June 15, or the closing of school in each locality. The essays in each state will be judged by a state com mittee which the state superintend- ent of education is being asked to name, and the best essay in each state will be forwarded to Wash ington where the national winner will be decided by a committee to be appointed by the United States com missioner of education.
 The commissioner of education, Dr. P. P. Claxton. has requested the CO., operation of the state and city school superintendents. and it is hoped that the essay will be introduced as a part of the regular school course wherever possible.
 I believe that a great deal of good can be done in this way by bringing the problems of road construction
  tion of the young people and their parents and enlisting their intelligent 1 interest in the work which is being done to build up the highways of the country.
 I ask your cooperation in making the contest a success; and I suggest 1 that you can help greatly by impress ing upon the state department ol education the importance of a better T fnl | and by giving the contest the fulles | publicity in the newspapers of tht state. Newspaper articles dealins with the special problems peculiar tt | your state and with the general high | way situation will be particular, useful.
 Very truly yours, THOS. H. MACDONALD, | Chief of Bureau.

Timers Will Play Plumbers Saturday

Ivory finished heads, tin ears and loose joints will be in evidence at Eastlabe park Saturday afternoon when the Timers and Plumbers come together for a baseball game.
 The sheet metal workers have long harbored a suspicion that they can play ball and the plumbers are get ting chesty on theii athletic ability. Hence the battle unto death at East lake park Saturday afternoon at ? o'clock. The rival teams have been gathering their friends for the fray and they extend an invitation to the whole town to watch the game. Both factions are confident and it will be a fight all the way; and if he game goes overtime the players call for time and one-half and an extra slice at the plate.
 This will be some game and the winner will be challenged by an other craft in the city. The rivalry is increa sing between town crafts and the easiest way to settle the question of superiority is on the dia- mond.
 The lineup will be announced Sat urday morning.

Teacher associations are the logical organizations to bring the matter be- fore the people, she said.
 Mrs Henry D. Ross, president of the State Federation of Music al Clubs and former president of the State Federation of Women's Cluts, says that any movement working toward the benefit of trade should be sponsored by club women. She sees many good features in the movement aside from stimulating one of Arf- zonas greatest industries = among others the fact that the purchase of 20 yards of cotton cloth might be re- sponsible for women making their own frocks.
 Tt really may be superfluous to ask Phoenix women to wear cotton dresses, which we do all the year round, but the purchase of cotton goods has another meaning. There are so many more uses to which cot ton cloth can be put today, including novelties in the household. Charming curtains have been made of cotton and it's use could be emphasized in innumerable ways" said Mrs. Ross
 Favors Cotton Hose
 Mrs. ]. C. Norton, past president of the State Congress of Mothers and leading welfare worker, recalls the time when cotton hose were worn and recommends the return of the cotton hose vogue. Mrs. Norton looks upor the wearing of cotton as nothing short of a patriotic movement.
 On May l, Cotton Sunday, Miss Helen Benedict, assistant superinten- dent of public instruction, will weal a cotton gorwn. Miss Benedict is another of the women thinkers who fDa of Ihe cotton campaign for the future of the state.
 Mrs. Charles Macbeth of the Adams Parent Teacher association favors the 20-yard purchase plan.
 '1t is a good idea and it is up to us to do our part in boosting the grea' industry of the state" she said.
 Tt is a solution of the cotton prob lem is the belief of Mrs. Wyh' Leeper. publicity chairman of th' State Congress of Mothers.

TWO SUITS APPEALED

Two suits on appjeal from the 'su- perior court of Maricopa county were filed in the supreme court yesterday Frank w. Skelsey was the appellant and eJnnie w. Kuhn the appellee in suit on property rights. The broth erhood of American Yeomen has ap- pealed from the decision of the lower court which gave Ellen Manz judg ment in the amount of $1.s17.s3 against the Brotherhood.
 Mrs. Manz brought this action to recover on an insurance policy of her husband, Henry Manz. The lodge claimed that Manz gave his age as 49, while in reality he was over 50 years and too old to be insured by the order.

Among them were hundreds Of eX-sol-
diers, blinded in the war, inmates Of
St. Dunstan's Home. which Sir Arthur
Pearson had founded.
Few men who have ever lost the
power Of sight fail to realize the desire
to- help others thus afflicted. The loss
OF vision seems to make for greater
kindliness and stronger wish to be
helpful. There have been many cases
of blind men of wealth who have de-
voted themselves to the aid Of their
brothers in the darkness. There
is no more valuable work than this.
The war has left many sightless eyes,
and never before was there such need
of salvage effort to restore these vic
Tins of the flames of battle to a par
tial self-helpfulness and usefulness.
The field Of philanthropy is wide in
this direction. and American men of
great means have an opportunity to
do a wonderful constructive work in
establishing institutions where the
blind can learn and develop them
selves and contribute to the world S

Future of the Potomac,

There are signs of revival in river
traffic. The government set out to
demonstrate that river transportation
on long hauls Of bulky freight was
cheaper than land carriage. The ex-
pertinent was made on the Mississippi
river with twin-screw towboats. giant
steel barges and docks equipped with
modern plants for loading, discharg-
ing and transferring freight. It is
said in certain trade journals that tho
experiment has been success and
that private capital is to take over
the government barge line and extend
it. Tows of steel products from the
Pittsburgh district are going down
the Ohio this season billed for upper
and lower Mississippi points. Illinois
is spending millions of dollars to i'm
prove the navigability of the Chicago
and Illinois rivers and the connection
with the Mississippi. st. Louis and
New Orleans are building modern
docks fitted with the latest freight
handling machinery. There are other
signs that American rivers are to play
a great role in transport and the pro-
duction of electric power.
The Potomac is one of the great
national undeveloped assets. The up
