Did you-and by you" is meant the housewife of the Salt River val ley-ever look at the trade mark on a broom? Did you ever go to the store and ask if you could buy a Phoenix broom? Did you ever notice that when by some chance or other you had purchased a broom made in Phoenix you had a pretty good arti- cie-one that not only looked nice but which wore well. which, after all, is the real test of anything, even husbands?
 The foregoing is a prologue to a short account of a manufacturing concern in Phoenix that is making real brooms from broom corn raised In the Salt River valley, and is turn ing out a product which is superior
 to much and as good as any which
 Is being shipped in here. This is
 the Arizona Broom Manufacturing
 company, with offices and plant at
 271 west sherman street.
 One reason for the superiority of the brooms made here is the fine quality of the corn which is raised in this valley and which is said to be fully as good as the best raised
 anywhere else. According to G. R.
 Gibbs, proprietor of the company.
 who has had many years experience as manufacturer of broons, the
 corn grown here is of the finest grade and results in a finished product which cannot be surpassed.
 As an indication of the care taken
 in the manufacture of Phoenix made
 brooms the following account of the ! manufacturing process at the plant of the Arizona Broom Manufacturing company is given:
 The corn first Is taken from the bale and dyed. This is done by inn mersing the bundles in tank of aniline dye dissolved in water. The corn, which Is of a straw color when | it comes from the field. becomes a natural pea green when immersed in l the bath. After being soaked it is placed in a rack to dry and then 1t is left over night in the fumes of somuldering birthstone, which sets | the color.
 After the bleaching process, the corn is placed in sorting tables where | it is sorted seven times, according to I quality. The local plant is making eight brands of parior prooms-Apex
 Black Beauty. Gold Nugget. Miss | Grace, Little Dot, Council, Durable 1 and Ferry-a smelter broom. which l is the largest broom made here and
 which is adapted to heavy work. In addition a warehouse broom is made. The smelter broom is made of broom | corn and Louisiana hickory, bound with three strands of wire. This l broom weighs from 40 to 45 pounds | to the dozen, and the warehouse
 broom, which is stitched, weighs l from 34 to 36 pounds.
 From the sorting tables, the corn
 goes to a table where the chief
 sorters select it from the ''hurly or straw for the outside of each grade

ROASTED POET IN BATH

Delhi-A very interesting archae- logical discovery recently was made in Delhi. While demolishing mound on the police parade ground the workmen discovered beneath II a well built tomb. This tomb has now been carefully examined by the officials of the archaeological department. and by several oriental scholars at Delhi, and very little doubt remains that the marble slab marks the last resting place of the Emperor Aurangzebs learned and highly accomplished daughter, the Princess Zeb- -ul- Nisa.
 This princess, whose name trans lated means The Ornament of Womanhood, was the favorite daughter of the Emperor Aurangzeb, who reigned at Delhi from 1858 to 170T, in whose reign the Mogul dy- nasty reached the zenith of its power. Tie emperor made her his counselor on many affairs of state. and she possessed to a remarkable degree the confidence of her royal father, who trusted very few people. For time she was the keeper of the royal seal.
 It was probably due to her father s wishes that she never married. IL IS said, however, that she was dearly loved by a young nobleman of great learning and a poet. She recipro cateo  cane known to the emperor. One day while the young suitor was on a visit to the princess, the emperor pr bably being informed of his pres ence, came to her apartments in the courtyard. There stood on ar oven a huge cauidron s. oh as is use1 for boiling water. The young maa hid himself inside it. The emperor asked the princess what the cauldron con tanned. She answered that 1t con- tained bath water. He suspected the real contents, and ordered that fire be lighted to boil the water. The young man allowed himself to be roasted to death rather than bring disgrace on the princess. and it is saio that he did not as much as utter a sigh.
 The princess died in 1895 in the thirty seventh year of her fathers reign. She was one of the most in teresting and charming personalities of Mogul times. Besides attaining to great proficiency in the Persian and Arabic languages she was poetess and an author of considerable merit. A commentary on the Koran written by her and called Zeb-ul- Tafsir Is still extant. The government of India is now taking steps to preserve and beautify her tomb, so unexpectedly brought to light.-Japan Advertiser.

BEST BROOMS IN WHOLE COUNTRY
 MADE FROM VALLEY BROOM CORN

of broom. which is distributed by them to the winders. This work re- quires constant vigilance and know ledge of the crop and the purposes for which each broom is intended. Before the 'hurls'' are distributed. however, the chief sorter cuts it to the proper lengths and scraps in special machine which removes the seed. After being scraped, the corn is shook" which brings all the straws of the same length together.
 The straw is now ready to go to the winders, of which the factory has four, and where it is bound to the handles. These are of Washington fir, although other woods may be used. Washington fir, however, Is used by the Phoenix factory because it is light and strong and assures the buyer that the weight of the finished broom comes from the straw in it and not from the wood.
 | In attaching the straw to the ham, dle, coarse corn is first bound to the wood by wire wrapped under a high tension. Particular attention is paid to the work of having the wire as tight as possible, so that the straw cannot become loose and fall off, and as consequence of this. about 12 per cent of the handles are broken under the strain.
 As the straw is tied to the handle. part of it is devoted to turn overs" which are handfuls of straw tied to the main bundle in the wrong direc-
 tion or along the handle and then 1 turned down over the wire so as to | lie with the bundle. This gives a shoulder" to the broom and insures 1 it's symmetry. The shaping of the
 finished article is also helped by a
 '.pounder,' and in an instrument,
 which is used to force the straw into
 place. Then the inside and outside | .'hurls" are put on, and the straw is | scraped again to take off any seeds
 that may have remained after the 1 first process.
 The broom is now ready for i stitching. which is done In a rapidly moving machine. which does as clean
 a job as seamstress- After stitch | ing, the ends Of the strings are cut
 away, the stray is trimmed to shape.
 the wrapper is put on and the broom
 is ready for the market.
 Although the Arizona Broom Man.
 ufacturing company has been in business here for less than two years. | it has already become a substantial
 and solidly established firm. It em-
 ploys from IS to 25 people during
 the busy season and is shipping its product to all parts of Arizona, to Southern California, to New Mexico l and West Texas.
 So, when you buy your next broom, | look for Phoenix trade mark. When
 you do this you are helping not only
 a manufacturing industry of your
 own town. but you are helping also
 the valley as a whole, for the farmers
 are going into the raising of broom corn extensively, and they are pro-
 ducing the best product in the world.
