SALARY OF STATES ENGINEER MAY GET
 RAISE TO $7.5o

PHOENIX, Feb. IA non-partisan movement is on foot to increase the salary of the state engineer from s. a00 to s..5oo per year. and a bill to this effect will be introduced early this week. it is understood.
 For some time past it has been re- alized that the compensation of the state engineer. considering the re responsibilities of the position, have been almost laushably inadequate.
 While engineers of other state high. way departments have been drawing down from s10.000 to s15.000 per year and in many cases even more. the head oi the Arizona highway depart ment has been getting along on s3000 per annum.
 County highway engineers Of Mari copa. Pima and Cochise county are said to be getting 5000 per year.
 The absurditS of the situation is made more clear by an analysis of the payroll of the highway depart ment which shows that three men in the department have been receiv. ing $500 per month and expenses as against S250 drawn down by the chief Five others receive $500 per month without expense money. ten other re- ceive S2.5 per month, or S25 more than the state engiDeer.a nd Is more are on the payrolls as receiving the same salary of s25O per month.

DESCRIBES
 EXECUTION IN SIAM
rContinued from Page Onei

rContinued from Page Onei
 When the victim was hooked he was hauled up with a rope. and as his weight came on the rope the hooS piereced his lower jaw and came out at his mouth and he was left to die q slow death. Another instrument was made of two bamboo poles which were fastened over the head, and when they were pressed together it pierced the temples. Next we were sword to decapitate the victim, and as this country still has capital pun. ishment that is the method of dis posing of those condemned to die.
 They have about one execution a month here in Bangkok. l have never and will neveDpwitness one as it is quite gruesome.
 Think Hanging "earbarous"
 The headsman is believe confined to one afmily. and he gets 40 ticals. about SIG. if he cuts the head clean off with the first blow, but if it takes two strokes He receives very much less. so they generally take the head off with the first stroke. In this ra- spect the English adviser who was at one time in that department told me rather interesting thing. He said that some years ago the counselor court condemned ar English subject to be hung under the English law. When the time came to have the hanging they could not get any Siamese ,o hang a man as they thought it very barbarous, so they had to send to Singapore for the official hangman. Singapore is nearly 1000 miles away, and when he came the British lega- ton sent out for a rope. No one would sell them rope. Finally they got -sp outsider to buy a rope for them .asse they finally hung the man 30 you see that here where they are considered primitive people i1 many ways having cruel customs, hay ing no compunction at beheading ] man. yet they consider choking a man to death most outrageous While this nation yet has capital punishment, no culprit can be killed until the king signs the death warrant, and like all humane men he is very loath to do So.

Lower Prices for
Dental Work for
the Workingmen

Milwaukee. Wis, Aug 16-The
problem of giving good dentistry to
workingmen at lower prices is one
OF the great questions confronting
the profession, DR.. Henry L. Banzhaf
Of Milwaukee told the National Den
tai Association here today.
He advocated cooperative clinics
as "a solution.
The average American working
man should be able to buy honest
dentistry at a reasonable fee" DR..
BanZhaf said.
Better dentistry at lower fees can
only be accomplished when q group
of dentists. each a specialist in his
field, comes together in centrally
located cooperative dental clinic
Each dentist must operate in his
chosen field only, thus increasing his
efficiency 40 per cent, because he
does only the work he is best quail
flied to do"
DR.. Banzhaf said the Milwaukee
industrial dental clinic was proving
success. This does work for in
dustrial establishments with, which it
has agreements.
