 There is nothing in the idea It Is but a renamed DO It Now.9 Kansas City has set to work to Get It Done now immediately, today; not tomor- row. for next week, next year
 And the idea being held so highly the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce passes it along to other cities where they are not getting it done but where they should be getting this or that done right away II they are to pull themselves out of the slough of depression.
 Get It Done is the slogan of brave man, will ing worker one who has to realize that sitting round waiting doesn't get him far. It doesn't get cities far, either. Nor nations

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-The need for colonies, where feebleminded men and women can be confined, so that they will not propagate feeblemindedness to the detriment of the race and the na- tion, was strilzingly brought out in an interview with Miss Stella Miner, who with her sister, Maud Miner is at the head of the New York Probation and Protective association.
 These two women probably know more about the problem of the delin- quent girl than any other women in New York. And one of the things they know is that girls who have been ex- amfned by psychiatrists and found to be feebleminded, and who have given proof of their feeblemindednes by bringing two or three illegitimate chil- dren into the world, are constantly turned loose by the courts to breed more feebleminded children. judge will hardly ever turn such girl over to the authorities if she has 2 pretty face. they say.
 You see the city hasn't any place to put young, delinquent girls" Miss Miner explained, while their cases are being investigated, unless it puts them in the Tombs or in the cells over the Jefferson Market court. And, as many of the girls are not immoral, or at the most are first offenders it isn't at all desirable that they should be placed in such quarters, together with sea- soned prostitutes. A detention house was authorized and then forgotten years ago, and so until some proper provision is made-if it ever is-Wav- erley House is maintained by our as- sociation to fill the gap.
 We get girls from the bureau of missing persons of the police depart ment. and from 90 different New York agencies interested in the protection of young women. Most of them are runaways from home, largely from other cities. but many of them are New York girls who need help. At

The Engineers Bill

sudden but perhaps fatal opposition has arisen to the pending bill for tho registration and hcenstng of engineers, assayers and land surveyors The Dfl seemed at first to be entirely unobjecton- able. It had the support of the Arizona chapters. it purpcrted to be uniform measure and in fact one' though there Is also another which is being adopted in states.
 It was the sections of the bill relating to min ing engineers that attracted unfavorable attention to tho measure. It barred from examination of the nines and engineering work about mines all un- licensed engineers. Though the bill has since been amended in that respect there yet remains the memory of q statement by protagonst, that this arrangement would be death blow to wild eating and the opponents out with statements that almost every great mine Arizona been turned down by scientific mining engineers worthless.
 It is pointed that the Inspiration less than a desen years ago was rejected by the highest tific authority and yet it year assessed valuation of $7s.ooo,ooo.

 But these statements do disprove the value of scientific information.

And there comparatively many unlettered experts like this Irishnan; not nearly enough to the whole the great mining industry.

What Is Phoenix's Answer?

Every citizen should be interested in the move ment to expand and enlarge the and usefulness of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce No man can be alive the needs of the present hour without being in entire sympathy with such movement. We have all heard what is being done in numerous other cities through the activities of their Chambers of Commerce. In addition, have National Chamber of Commerce whose membership represents three or four millions of who are the real ones to take the responsibility and do things that are necessary to be done.
 The present period offers to us the greatest op- portunity of age for organization. If we do not take advantage of the opportunity and organize so that we shall be linked in enormous mass of representative men and of the country, who can speak for the country and back up our words with the strength of five and six millions. we may never have like chance again.
 The permanent question confronting this city today is will the citizens of Phoenix see to 1t that Phoenix shall have a Chamber of Commerce big enough and representative enough to command hearing in the business councils of the nation2
 Another phase of this movement that is Of equal importance is thes opportunity for civic achievement through united citizenship
 Most certainly indorse and recommend this kind of a movement every citizen of Phoenix
