ABDOMINAL BELTS Scientific & practical fitting Kirnbau & Hulett Phoenix, Adams & 1st Ave.

G. NJ Butler, University of Arizona, whose theme was the work of the bu- reau of mines at that institution. He began his address by praising the idea of bringing the chamber of commerce up to the highest possible efficiency. and reminding his hearers that last year he was president of the Tucson organization. and then launched into brief. summary of the work of the bureau of mines. He spoke in part as follows:
 Perhaps the greatest work of the bureau has been the dissemination of information. While it is concerned primarily with the mining industry we are prepared to answer any question from a request for a name for the baby to an explanation of an abstruse passage of philosophy or a problem in astronomy. We are striving not only to stimulate the mining industry, but bring a knowledge of the wonder ful mineral resources of this state to the minds Of it's citizens.
 Do you know that Arizona led all the states of the union in the produc- ton of asbestos last year? Do you know anything of the coal deposits in Arizona? You are paying $16 or SIS a ton for coal in Phoenix, yet we have in
 one deposit more than 5000. .000, 900 tons. For three years the bureau has been working to open up this coal de- posit which is on ans Indian reserva- tions and we are hopeful that we will succeed
 .The bureau also prints bulletins on it's work. which are distributed without
 charge .educates the prospector in mineral lore, and conducts a free serv-
 ice to tell you what your mineral specimens contain.
 The meeting was opened by Royal W. Lescher, president. who introduced the guests of tho club and then an- notnced that Maj. Claude Decatur Jones. commanding the cadet corps at the high school, had invited 10 Xii wanians to be guests of honor at the field sports at the state fair grounds tomorrow
 Announcements were then made Of the Town Meeting at the high school auditorium, the ball this evening at
 the Blue Bird dancing pavilion. and the barbecue tomorrow at the state fair grounds. The meeting was then turned over to Malcolm Roy Murray of the McDougal & Cassou company as chairman of the day The atten- dance prize which was given by Ira J. Johnson. was won by Dr. Frank

 It's time to wake up. We've got good government here in Phoenix ana we've got good department heads You voted down bonds for new city jail and thus slowed down the city's march. Remember, your government is only what you make it." he concluded.
 "Co- operation was the theme of another spirited address with E. S. Clark. formerly of Prescott, doing the talking.
 You cannot cross the street with out enjoying the benefits of co-opera- tion,'' MT. Clark declared. Victory in the world war was achieved through the spirit of co-operation.

SKELETON IS FOUND WHENWORKMEND|G
 WATER PIPE TRENCH

workmeu engaged in digging a ditch for a pipe line on the side of the lot at 71s West Pierce street yesterday afternoon uncovered human skeleton buried about three feet under the ground. The bones of the skeleton were badly decomposed and cruulbled into bits when picked up. Coroner Nat T. Mckee was notified and with Con stable Evan Wilson went to the place to investigate the grewsome find.
 hole was dug around the skeleton and the officers attempted to remove the bones intact. The head of the skel- eton appeared 10 be resting on the breast of the body which led to the be- lief that at the time the body was buried. the head had been severed from the body. No clothing or other articles such as jewelry were found about the body.
 A curious incident in the find was the fact that a city water pipe was resting on the feet of the skeleton. The officers stated they believed when the pipe was laid the ditch had been dug almost to the feet of the skeleton. The bones of the hands were removed intact but no rings were found on the fingers. The skull crumbled into bits after be- ing lifted.
 The bits of bones were placed in box and will be taken to Dr. c. S Monical this morning in order to see if he can determine how long the body had been buried.

cAcTHlNe ELECTRICITY
 aNi rfAINr n c

When only 1000 volts are required to electrocute criminal it is rather start ling to see college girl engaged in experimental electrical work catch a l. .000, ,000-volt spark on her finger with out even ruffling her smile. Yet this is being done at Wellesley college, merely as amusing interlude in the days work.
 Since fire destroyed much of the col lege apparatus, many of the instru- ments in the physics laboratory have been made by the students Some of these instruments are crude, but they work.
 A student takes 8 bit of steel in her hand and holding it close to one end of Tesla coil catches the spark when 1t jumps to her hand. IL is explained that the vibrations are so rapid that the current has no effect on the body after the first slight shock. Indeed the skin will burn before one realizes that so tremendous current is passing through the body.

GERMAN CREDIT Is
PLAN OF BANKERS
Negotiations for $40, ,000,0 900
to Cover Purchases Of Grain,
&C., Here Under Way.

At least four separate banking groups
the German Government an aggregate
of $4,000 900 OF credits to cover pur-
chases of grain, &c, in the United States
with $40, 700, 900 additional credits being
arranged in London, and one of them.
amounting to $4,000 900. is virtually
coirpleted. Actual signatures of the
German officials have not been affixed TO
such, but terms and details have been
agreed to and the credit is expected to
become fact before August l. The only
reason for delay in signing up that credit
IS the desire Of the German Government
to ascertain just how great the harvest
in Germany will be, and that fact should
be ascertained within two weeks.
The American negotiators for the ex-
tension of a 100000 short term credit
running for ninety to $50 days are
headed by the International Acceptance
Bank. of which Paul NJ. Warburg Is
chairman. Associated with that bank
are the Bankers Trust Company, the
Chase Securities Corporation. the First
National Bank of Boston, and others.
Another group, headed by a banking
firm, the principal partner of which is
abroad, is negotiating $4,000 600
CTeQll, pttTl Ol ID " DO PSAAeN -
thirty days, part in sixty days, part in
ninety days and the balance in year.
The smallest credit under negotiation Is
a s5,oOooOO affair OF short term dura-
! tion.
Still another group Is negotiating
$50 0,000 600 credit, OF which half is to be
extended by London. The names or
that group cannot be mentioned. Ger
many's total crvcit needs in connection
with grain are estimated at about S40,-
00O,000 and some OF these negotiations
may not be consummated.
Details regarding the guarantees for
such credits have not been learned, but
1t is thought in banking circles that
German banks and bankers will have to
| affix their names to the paper repre-
senting the actual exports to be handled
through the regular exporting houses
for grains, &c. The proper kind OF
paper, when accepted here. should be
! rediscountable at the Reserve banks,
provided that 1t Is Endorsed by member
! banks. Plans of the negotiators of the
! S9.000,000 credit, which probably will
be the first to be announced, undoubt-
| edly comprehend eligibility for redis-
| count in the Reserve system. A recent
Reserve Board ruling permits the pur-
! chase by Reserve banks of six months
paper required by overseas trade usages.
