Maddock, state engineer; Eugene Hackett, chairman of the Maricopa County Highway commission; Sena- tor Charles E. McMillin, Pinal coun- ty, and Thomas G. Norris, of Yava- pal county. The visitors gave un- stinted praise to the work that has been started in Malicopa county and to the manner in which it is being prosecuted.
 Resolutions were adopted as fol- lows:
 The establishment throughout the state of some practical road patrol system for the purpose of decreasing maintenance costs and preventing the heavy loss that occurs from the lack of prompt repair.
 Resolved, that the officers of this association be requested to urge upon MT. Thomas Mcdonald, the chief of the federal road bureau, to furnish
 
 ble the results of the recent investi. gations of the federal road bureau of various types of road construction ir California.
 The creation by the Good Roads as. Sociation of a new committee to bt known as the Research Committed which shall, during the year, make g careful investigation of modern roaC construction methods and investigate thoroughly the operation of highway commissions in states with conditions similar to Arizona, for the purpose should investigations justify, of pre-. senting to the next meeting of the legislature or highway convention.
 That congress be asked to create a method of financing by the nation of roads across Indian reservations on a plan which will secure early constluc. tion in order that communities now widely separated by extensive acres of Indian reserves may be afforded a means of communication. A constructive, graduated motor vehicle law which would provide 8 reasonable return from motor vehicles consistent with the steadily increasing tonnage and the steadily increasing use by these vehicles of the public highways; such funds to be used fol maintenance purposes.
 Legislative action which would en- able state and county highway off. cials to manufacture their own road making material, including cement when in their judgment such action would result in more economical roaC construction.
 We recommend that in the passage by congress of federal aid legislation such as provided for in the Sells bill recently passed by the house of repre-. senratives, that full credit be allowed Arizona for the 67 per cent of lands in this state not subject to state taxa ton.
 1 We, the committee on resolutions respectfully recommend the following
 Be it Resolved by the Arizona Coco Roads association, in convention as sembled, that the best interests of tht state would be conserved by having all state highway construction worl over $5,OOO, with the exception O. when construction is done by convic labor, be done under contract sys tern.

To celebrate a saints birthday
 We'll gather Friday night:

In honor, too, we wish to say,
 Of bright and shining light
 Who went and gave her heart away
 About last Christmas night.
 Tho no clouds be with at eight,
 Prepare for shower and don't be late. (Signed) SIX OF THE ALLEY"
 This it was that called a number of people to Taylor Hall on Friday night. The test of getting in was to crawl through large red heart hung in the hall of the second floor. From the heart the guests were led to attract i've candle-lighted rooms, decorated in innumerable tiny hearts. The ev- ening was spent in various contests. Perhaps the most entertaining was the slang" contest. Each player was given a pencil and piece of paper and five minutes, in which she attempted to write all the slang words and ex- pressions she knew. Mrs. Knapp and Miss Boyer were best versed in this form of literature and were voted the "slangiest couple" present. After a delicious three course lunch the guests attended mock wedding. Miss Kel- | ley acted beautifully the part of of- ficiating rector; Miss Hornbein the blushing bride; Miss Bush the happy | groom; Miss Sandon the pretty train | bearer; Miss Payne the dignified ring bearer; Miss Latimer the lovely flower | girl, and Miss Lintz the important usher. After rice had been showered upon the happy pair, valentines were distributed. Miss Hornbein received some very lovely presents, one of which was a beautiful electric per colator. At a very late hour the fol- lowing guests: Misses Gertrude Kel- log, Agnes Dodson, Wilmyth Case, Clara Wheeler, Elkhorn, Alberta Platz, Margaret Walsh, Mary Boyer, Dockstader, Hornbein, Mesdames Keuzenkamp, Walker, B ckwit t h, Knapp, McMullen and Eastburn, de- parted, voting the Misses Latimer, LintZ, Sandon, Payne, Bush and Kel- ley most entertaining hostesses. There will be no school on Friday afternoon on account of the tourna- ment. Neither will there be school on Tuesday, Washington's birthday. How ever, a special Washington program is being prepared for Friday morning. The program will begin at ten o'clock in the morning. It is under the di- rection of Miss Hornbein and promises to be good one. Everyone is in- vited.
 Miss Blanche Gardener and Miss Gladys McPhaul were the dinner guests of Mrs. L. A. Eastburn Satur- day evening.

 The February session of the Wom- ans club convened last Saturday af- ternoon at Elks' hall. It was only a short business session.

Open Meeting of WOman's Club.

An evening long to be remembered was that of last Saturday when the Woman's club held open house Tn honor of the birthday of our own far state-Arizona. It was most fitting that not only club members, but guests as we'll were privileged to hear the splendid program. At eight-thirty the Elks' hall was comfortably filled. The hall itself took on gala colors for the occasion. Flags of the nations were in evidence, though the stars and stripes predominated; but most prom inent of all was the state flag show. ing in glowing colors at the center ot
 the platform. Mrs. C. O. Lampland gave a heartfelt address of welcome, outlining briefly the various good measures that Arizona since her state

the score being IS to B in favor of Williams. From Williams the team went to Kingman Saturday morning. At Kingman the boys had better luck, piling up a score of 34 to IS in their favor. The team was badly handi- capped on this trip, due to the fact that three of their best players, Etter, Heckethorne and Barrett, were on the sick list. The rest of the team are hoping that these boys will be ready to help them win the cup at the tourn- ament. All the boys returned prais- ing both Williams and Kingman for their true sportsmanship, and for the very courteous treatment and enter tainment they were given at both places.

 Action Taken by
 Former Library Board.
 While the Woman's club is delight ed over the shift of responsibility in regard to the public library, yet it is with regret that some of the mem- bers give up their pet project. Through the vicisstudes of some eight years a number of faithful sponsors have watched both it's growth and oftimes seeming decline. However discouraging the outlook has been at times few knew of it outside the inn mediate members of the board; so we say again it is with feeling of re- gret that it is turned over to even so prosperous body as the city council.
 At the meeting it was unanimously

Strict ~. s. Control
 of Railroads Urged

Washington, March 20.-Co-ordi nation of the facilities and service of the railroads of the country under strict government supervision is pro- posed by the National Association of Owners of Railroad Securities as a way out of the present transportation crisis.
 The plan will be submitted tomor- row to Chairman Cummins of the Senate interstate commerce commit tee, and s. Davies Warfeld, presi- dent of the association, announced to- day that representatives of his or ganization would appear later before that committee to urge it's adoption
 MT. Warfeld says the plan will in- sure annual savings of millions of dollars, increase facilities and service and lower railroad fares and rates. He adds that American transporta- tion has outgrown the system under which it now operates, and warns that the railroads must recognize that only drastic measures on their part twill save them from being swal lowed up in the demoralization that government operation and afterwar readjustment has brought upon them."
 "Unless intensive economical meth ods in railroad administration are adopted,' he continues, "there is no alternative but government operation followed by government ownership, although the country has given over whelming evidence of being opposed to it."

POLES FIGHT
 WITH BRITISH
Violence During Plebiscite in Great Coal Fields of SiIesit is Reported-VOte On Their Destiny.

Berlin, March 20-Special dis ,atches from Katowitz, Silesa. re- rort that Polish bands crossed tho silesian frontier into Rosenberg and became involved in fights with Brit ish troops at Gross Lassowitz. Sev- oral persons on both sides were ser ouslv wounded, the dispatches state.
 Tarnowitz, Upper Silesia, March 2O.-All preparations had been com pleted when the polls opened for the nlebiscite today through out Upper Sesia to determine whether the re- zion, rich in coal, iron, zinc and lead, and comprising approximately 5000 square miles, henceforth shall be under the sovereignty of Germany or Poland. From distant parts of the world Germans and Poles, former residents of Silesia and entitled to cast their ballots, had journeyed in the hope of aiding their respective countries to win the region.
 The plebiscite, it is estimated, in- volved the pilgrimage of 10000 Germans. Special trains were fur nished at the expense of the Germans and toward the end no tickets were sold except to men and women re- turning to vote, and the trains were so crowded that many of the passen- gers were obliged to stand Among the first contingents arriving from foreign countries were 40 from South Africa, which completed the repre- sentation of nearly every country ex- cept the entente.
 The final results of the hallctinc, were expected to be delayed some what owing to the order of the inter allied plebiscite suspending tele- phonic and telegraphic communica- ton with the outside world, with the exception of press dispatches, which, however, were subject to the approval of the Silesian authorities.
 Approximately 2,500,000 Germans and Poles were expected to cast bal lots, and the propaganda agencies of both countries have worked to the ut most to secure votes. The Germans, 1t will be recalled, considered Upper Sesia such an asset that pr. Simons, the German foreign minister, made It's cessation to Germany one of the principal items of the counter-pr posals submitted by him to the allies Tn London for the payment of repara- tions.

Fear Six LiUes Lost
 In EIeUdtOr Blast

Chicago, March 20.-Two persons are known to be dead and four others are missing as a result of the grain dust explosion which rocked South Chicago last night and wrecked one of the worlds largest grain elevators. One body was removed from the deb ris a few hours after the blast and the second was found today.
 Officials of the Armour Grain Com pany, which operated the elevator, said it might be several days before it could be definitely determined how many met death in the disaster, as their records containing lists of men employed at the plant had been de- stroyed by the fire which followed the explosion.
 Besides the two bodies recovered, only four men remained unaccounted for tonight, and it was believed that these may have been buried beneath the thousands of tons of grain re- leased by the blast. All of the vic tims were employed at the elevator.
 John c. Mcdonnell, chief of the fire prevention bureau, said that his investigation had convinced him that the explosion was due to spontaneous combustion which ignited infiammable mill dust
 He discredited reports that it might have been due to labor trouble
 Engineers who inspected the eleva- tor, which is located at the southern lcity limits, said that the dameg to the structure would approximate S1,- 500,000. The value of the grain de- stroyed was estimated at S1,OO0,000 l

PACKERS MEET
 LABOR BOARD
Fight Over Wage Reduction Reaches Crisis TOday-Fed- erati0n of Labor Solidly Sup ports Employees.

Chicago, March 20.-An almost immediate split of the federal confer ence Monday was predicted after the union delegates had departed for Washington, when it was learned that the two representatives of the packers now in the conference have no authority to discuss wages or working conditions with the three federal arbiters.
 This information, given out by a high official at the stock yards, threw the entire packing house controversy into a state of confusion The union representatives are bearing instruc- tions to demand that the whole case of the workers be predicated upon the contention that the wartime agree ment is still in force and that the packers must be bound by it. If the arbitration council fails to meet this demand the union representatives are empowered to call a nationwide strike immediately.
