HAZ|NG ABOLISHED
 AT UNIVERSITY

The action to abolish hazi1e. taken by the Faculty Of the University of Arizona at the close of the academic year, has elicited widespreaG interest. This rule of the Faculty has the de- cided approval of parents and tax payers. It became known to the authorities of the University that more than once there had been mar. row escapes from serious catastro- phe as result of hazing, and since fatalities had occurred in other in. stituti0ls from this cause prompt and decisive action seemed the wise course. The hair-cutting episodes, in particular, had become distasteful and annoying to the public as we'll ss to the college cor munity. At best. it seemed very i'ivinile-a relic of the Eoardingsc:ronl ,,tage of education - and. at worst. a dangerous and brutal sport. humilating in the extreme to certain victims with inborn pride and courage. The University of Arizona , has happily passed beyond the rrIdi- mentary stage of it's progress and has " On cordial recognition as uniqus and dignified institution among the first-class universities of the Nation so the abolishing of manhandling is timely and appropriate.

OLD TOMBSTONE
 SILVER MINES ARE
 ACT|vEDESP|TELULL

Tombstone, Aug. 29-This old siI- yer camp once the scene of the most extensive silver mining in the west but for score of years practically idle, is experiencing a mining boom that may again put it in the first rank.
 With the closing down of many other mines in the state, and the complete suspension of production by all the copper companies, many min CTS were forced to leave the big camps and seek less prominent localities for employment As a result many old properties in this vicinity are being worked under leases. Some good ore bodies have been opened up and daily shipments of ore are being made to smelters in Fl Paso. the re- duction plants at Douglas. fifty miles southeast of here, having been closed su the spring when copper production was halted
 Abandoned Mines Open
 Several of the mines being worked here now had been almost untouched for fifteen or twenty years while. on the surface here claims that had never known pick or shovel are being 1 developed with results that are mors than satisfying their workers. The water situation in Tombstons l is peculiar When the larger silver 1 mines suspended operations early in the present century of late in the last, l low prices fors silver and too much water were, in the main. responsible. ' At great depths here mine shafts en- ] countered flow of water that even
 the most gigantic mine pumps could ' not handle. A tunnel at least seven miles long would have to be driven
 through the Mule mountains to the ! San Pedro valley to take care of the i underground flow. it was estimated. ] That underground flow still hampers development work or actual mining
 on the lower levels of the old proper ties.
 Different Conditions
 But on the surface there has been
 this year a different condition prevail 1 ing. Tombstone was threatened with
 water shortage Until the summer
 rains began. several weeks ago.
 Tombstone residents were placed on i forty-gallons-a-day water ration Where an overabundance of water had : halted mining operations years ago. a water shortage this year threatened ; to bring the same result for without plenty of water. the several small mills. here could not operate. With
 a rainfall during July of more than
 nine inches. however, this obstacle l was removed. and now all mills are ! running to capacity.
 While those who are working the
 properties here do not believe Tomb stone will ever gain see the good old l. days of from 1879 to the cary 'e0'S- [ when 10000 persons made the camp
 their home. nevertheless the oDinio-
 prevails that the present boom. al k though comparatively small has re a suited in the finding of enough ore d and the mapping out of enough or' T. bodies here sufficient to keep it from 5 hecoming one of the ghost cities o r. the west for many years.

WAR VETS SECURE
 NEEDED LEGISLATION

THE SWEET BILL became ! law on August Sth, when President Har'i- ing affixed his signature. ending heroic struggle of two. and haI years for the decentralization oI the War Risk Bureau.
 The WASON BILL, which provided for this means of speedy relief for our disabled veterans, was passed by Con gresS after a two-year struggle. was vetoed by President Wilson.
 THE SWEET BILL just passed by present Congress. embodies the pro visions of the WaSon Bill together with other desirable features. Under the new law the War Risk Bureau Is decentralized into fourteen regional offices. with 160 sub-offices. The de standardization War Risk Bureau. the Y. $. Public Health Service and Fed eral Training Board. insofar as they have to do with eX-service men and women are all consolidated under the head of a newly-created Veterans Bureau.
 President Harding has nominated Col Chas H. Forbes. present director of the War Risk Bureau and U- S- Public Health Service. for director or the Veterans Bureau.
 The reorganization will take eHece immediately.
 Under this plan, the agencies for veteran relief will be removed from the jurisdiction of the Treasury De partment and the director will be di- rectly responsible to the president thereby removing these relief agencies entirely from political patronagle. Another feature provides that n cases of mental defaugeme0t and ] tuberculosis. that the burden of proor shall rest upon the government tor | two wears from date of discha"tSe or l the applicant.
 In other words, if an eN-service man or woman develops either r>i-'adS
