ually brought results. and just at night
fall the little launch chugged out to the
rescue. Mr.. Harding and several others
went to the Victoria intending to bring
some baggage ashore and spend the
night in Daytona- but they reversed
their plans and when they came back
it was to say goodbye to their COM
panions.
Most Of the party had grouped them
selves on the steps OF long deserted
cottage near the pier. Mr.. Harding
picked a deliberate way along the shak-
ing pier in the gathering gloom. Although
his footing gave way under him once or
twice he completed the trip in safety,
and just as Mosquito Lagoon began to
demonstrate unmistakably why 1t was
so named the party dishanded, sending
the strains OF The End of a Perfect
Day. and Good Night Ladies' floating

Washington. ID. C., Feb. 3.
President Wilson will remain neutral
in the faotional row now on in earnest
to gain control of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. That was the an
Douncement that came from the White
House to-day through Secretary Tumulty,
who said Mr. Wilson was taking no
interest and would take none in the dis
ppte.
This is said to be significant in view
o. the fact that the followers Of Mr..
Wilson's son n-in-law. William G. McAdoo.
are those who are jockeying for the con-
troll of the National Committee. IL
strengthened the opinion that Mr.. Nc
Adoo personally is not party to the
scheme but that it is sponsored chiefly
by the men who want him for the Demo-

ond excursion into the woozy-wOozies
though 1t was nighttime, and the
shaded electric light was turned on
when I opened my eyes and found
Mrs. Sheila sitting by the bedside
The change In Mrs. Sheila sort of
made me gasp. She wasn't any less
pretty as she sat there with her hands
clasped In her lap, but she was diff
ferent; sober, and with the laugh all
gone out Of the big gray eyes, and a
look in them as If she had suddenly
become so wise that nobody could
ever fool her.
"You are feeling better now1' she
asked, when she found me staring at
her.
l told her I guessed I was, but that
my hand hurt me some.
you have had a great shock Of some
kind-besides the burn, Jimmie" she
rejolned, folding up the bed covers so
that the bandaged hand would rest
easier THE doctors are all puzzled.
Does your head feel quite clear now
so that you can think?"
1T feels as If I had a crazy clock
in It," l said. "But the thinking part
is all right, Have you heard any
thing from Mr.. Norcross yet|
mot a word. We have been hop
ing that you could tell us something
when you should recover sufficiently
to talk, Can't you, Jimmie"

hooks I thought l might tell her a

"They went to the hotel" she helped
out. "Nlr. Ripley says they sat in the
lobby until after ten o'clock, and then
Mr.. Norcross went up to his rooms.
OF course, I knew that Mr. Ripley
knew all about the Hatch ructiop
but if he hadn't told her l wasn't 60

There was some trouble in CON

Yes, you. The others are all so

Mr.. Chadwick left Chicago the day
after he sent that telegram, to go up

that Mr., Norcross has followed him

soon after she went away, our one

COLOR HARMONY AT
 NEW COUNTRY CLUB

After construction work on a build ing has been completed and it still re- mains an uninviting and rather bar ren without the finishing paint This important work on the Country club house was intrusted to Albert -Bain. who made the place a symphony in color harmony.
 Two shades of Cabot's Old Vir- ginia white were used as the basis for the exterior color effect, giving the building an inviting yet aristo- cratic appearance. Harmonizing with this perdominating color are the cor niees trimmed with gray acid stain and doors and windows in deep tan with dark blue trimming.
 Gray walls and cream ceilings done in water colors give subdued light to the interior. Each of the IS rooms are finished in the same colors, but with varying shades. All woodwork is heavily enameled in old ivory. the whole color combination lending an appearance of immaeulateness to the rooms.
 All materials usco throughout were of the very best quality obtainable. Seven skilled worllmen worked at their various parts in the decorative scheme for more than six weeks un- der. the personal supervision of Mir. Bain.

DYER ID LOCKERS
 AT COUNTRY CLUB

Like all other features of the new Country Club building the lockers were selected with great care and the latest and most convenient of the kind manufactured. As golf is more prominently identified with the sports at the Country Club the mat ter of lockers is more important one than is the usual case.
 The lockers at the Country Club were manufactured by the Fred Me- dart Manufacturing company of St. Louis, which concern is represented in Phoenix by R. F. -Feland. There are 116 of these lockers which are called the regular locker without club holders. They are of olive green finish and are fitted with Yale master key locks. The whole were installed by the Cagan Construction company under the superivision of the resi- dent agent.
 In the receipt of these lockers there was record made of this city as against the entire country which is interesting. Beside the Country Club for the National Guard, 600 double till lockers for the Liberal Arts building of the Phoenix Union high school and also lockers for the new fire station on North First street.
 Altogether the shipment of lockers weighed 66. 900 pounds and consti- tuted, according to a statement from the factory at St. Louis, the largest carload of lockers ever shipped from any factory in the country.

COME ORT ES NOTE
 IN ALL FURNITURE
 IF COUNTRY CLUB

The attractive furnishings will have much to do with the impre ession ot luxurious comfort visitors to the new Country club will receive when they visit it today, for the furnish mgs make" such a building ever more than the structure itself. In this respect the local clubhouse is in ferior to none
 Much of the furnishings of the new club were supplied by the Doris Heyman Furniture company, which outfitted the mems lounge, entrance nall, porch, servants rooms, women's $ dressing room and kitchen in addi- tlon 10 furnishing drapes and other articles.
 The first impression of the comfort Of the club is gained when one reaches the porch, which is provided with cosy array of rockers, chairs, tables and settees, all of frosted brown fiber. In the entrance hall the same effect is carried out in brown fiber chairs and settees.
 The mems lounge room is consec- rated to the physical comfort of men members of the club, and here the furniture has an important part in achieving the desired end. Here also It IS of brown fiber. the many tables chairs, easy chairs and smoking stands giving an effect of ease, with drapes to enhance it.
 The women's dressing room is re- markable not only for it's many con- Veniences but for it's great dressing table, especially built and perhaps the largest in the state. The table is under huge mirror and is 1115 feet long and 27 inches wide. It has a massive plate glass top. The wom- ems room is furnished in ivory wick CT of attractive design.
 Two refrigerators and the usual sets of utensils of every description were supplied by the Dorris- Heyman company for the club kitchen. One of the refrigerators is one of the largest sizes available.
 The two servants rooms are fur nished in ivory.
 Besides the furniture, the company furnished French drape shades for the entire building, as well as dra- peries.

CHRISTY PARK TO BE USED AS AUTO
 CAMPING GROUND

Authorization for the improvement of Christy park for an auto camp ground was made by the city com mission yesterday when these recom- mendations submitted by the city park board were adopted:
 First: That Christy park be used as a permanent auto camp ground.
 Second: That $1.000 be taken from the university tract appropriation and used to start immediate devel- opments in Christy park for the camp ground.
 As Christy park is under a lease which will not expire until the first of next year the city commission de- cfded to utilize a section of Eastlake park for auto camping purposes until that time.
 The permanent auto park will be equipped with lights, gas, water and sewers and will have a competent attendant in charge at all times. In erder to help defray the expense of maintaining these utilities the city commission decided to assess a charge of 50 cents a day for the priv lege of the park.

BRICK ENOUGH IN
 COUNTRY CLUB ID
 BUILD MANY HOMES

There were enough brick used in the construction of the new Country Club building to erect at least 15 brick homes of the average size This estimate was made by John Haus- ner, who manufactured and fur nished the bricks and supervised the work of placing them. Every brick in the big structure was made in Ari- zona at the plant operated by Mr. Hausner at Seventh street and Hen- shaw road Bricks have been manu- factured at this yard for the past nine years.
 Approximately 10000 bricks were used in building the Country Club house. A residence of average size requires about 10000 bricks. The total weight of all the bricks used in erecting the Country Club building is 1S7,500 pounds.
 In the piers at the entrance and the porch work there are several thousand bricks. The contractor es- inmates that no other place in the state boasts as many bricks in the pier and porch work
 Although all the bricks have the same subdued red tone a distinct variance is given the coloring by weather joints. These weather joints cause SldQONS lO De thrown upon the exterior walls whenever the sun is sufficiently overhead The gen. eral appearance of the entire build ing is changed by these shadows, which give an Old Colonial effect to the brickwork. This transformation is especially noticeable in the morn ing on the east side of the building and during the afternoon on the west side of the building.
 One of the distinct interior features is the largest brick fireplace in the state. It is a double combination, having two mantels, the larger one in the ballroom at the east end and the other in the ladies' room, adjoin- ing. Eleven thousand brick were re- quired to build this immense fire place, sufficient for the building of a one-story house.
 Bricks were also used in the con- struction of special fire walls extend ing from the ceiling to the roof These fire walls have automatic fire doors which close off all draughts and prevent the spread of flames.
 T took great pride in manufactur- ing the bricks for the new club house." MT. Hausner said in explain ing his work. T made special effort to turn out bricks that were nearly as perfect as possible. Patrons of the club house can feel assured that
