WHY AN ARMORY IS NECESSARY ID CARE:
 FUR NATIONAL GUARD

That Phoenix is in dire need of an armory to properly care for it's ever growing National Guard com panies was the opinion expressed by Lieut.. W. w Carpenter. command CT of Go. D. 15Sth infantry. yester- day. The lieutenant is an enthusf- asst of the first water. When not working on national guard business he puts in his spare time as head of the science department of Phoe- nix high school He also directs the Junior college and is assistant in the military departments of the school.
 Lieutenant Carpenter said in part:
 Phoenix has at present two Ma uonal Guard companies recruited up to full peace strength. Enlistments are coming in so fast that it will be absolutely necessary to organize a third company to take care of the overflow. Tuesday we had 50 en- hstments, that being Company D's regular drill night.
 At present we are compelled to have our guard headquarters, con- duct our drills and store all our equipment in the small building on East Madison street. This building is barely large enough for storage purposes alone. It is impossible to do any real work there, as the boys have to back out on the street to turn around. The streets being dim iy lighted, it is difficult to correct any errors the boys make when we are forced to drill outside.
 Phoenix in the immediate future win have three fully equipped. fed erally recognized National Guard companies. with only a small ware house in which to drill. Contrast this with the conditions at Tucson With only one company, federally recognized Tucson has a splendid armory which is credit to the city. As matter of civic pride, Phoenix owes it to herself to give our boys the same privileges en- joyed by those at Tucson.
 There is another side to the ques- ton, however, a pecnuiary one. Our boys draw part of their money from the state and part from the federal government Every recruit we get and are able to keep will result in that much more money being brought to Phoenix for circulation. Three companies will naturally mean thrice as much money as one company. The boys now are much enthused and are joining rapidly in anticipation of the encampment to begin May 29- But when this is over, if the citizens of Phoenix prove to the guard com panies that they don't care enough for their welfare to vote them an armory. they will lose this enthu- siasm and fail to come out to drill and thereby lose their pay. This will result in the annual loss of thousands of dollars of federal. and state money which will come to the city if we have an armory.
 Every voter of Phoenix owes it to himself. to the city and to the National Guard boys to go to the polls on May 27 and vote for the bonds to build an armory for Phoe- nix that will be credit to the city.

 At a Fort Sheridan dinner party the conversation turned to war reni niscenees. Maj. Hanson Evans of the signal corps said: There was private named Bill, western farmer who had just arrived in London He was being shown the sights by friends from home who had been in England some time. They were sur prised at Bili's indifference to all the historic landmarks, which he passed by without a word of comment. De- spairing of interesting him in any thing, they started to lead him through Trafalgar Square to the Strand. In the middle of the Strand stands Nelson's monument-a tall shaft, with statue of the great ad- miral at the top and at the base four sculptured lions. Well, here at last it was obvious Bill had found some thing to interest him. A new light shot into his eyes He stood fasci- mated, glancing from the lions below to the admiral above. then back again to the lions. His friends were pleased to see that at last som mething had inn- pressed him. What do you think of that, BilT one of them asked. Well, answered Bill them lions sure got the old man in tight corner, ain't they?'"

WHY BRIDES WEAR WELLS

WHY BRIDES WEAR WELLS
 Marriages, probably more than any other ceremony of the church or civil life, is filled with customs which date back to ancient days. The wearing of the engagement and wedding rings upon the finger which was supposed to be most closely connected with the heart; the bridal cake, which goes back to the Roman custom of baking a wheat or barley loaf to signify the union of man and wife; the use of orange blossoms, the Saracenic sym bol of fecundity; and the throwing of old shoes, referred to in the Biblical books of Ruth and Deuteronomy. are only a few of the centuries old prac- tices still follows at the time of a wedding.
 But of all these, the wearing of the bridal veil is one of the most peculiar originating as it did in the Anglo Saxon practice of performing the nuptia1 ceremony under square piece of cloth, held by each corner over the bride and groom in order to conceal the bushes of the former.
 If the bride were a widow. the veil was dispensed with-it being taken for granted that widows do not blush upon entering the married state for the second time. The lifting or drop ping of the veil as soon as the we'd ding ceremony has been concluded is emblematic of the fact that, being married, the bride may expose her face freely to the world.-Columbu Dispatch

CITY STREETS BAD
 SAYS FORMER MAYOR
Sena tor Macdonald Wants Bet ter Highways or People
 Will Move Out"
Annual City Meeting Largely Attend
 ed.-Reconmendations Voted


 Senator Archibald Macdonald. for several terms mayor of Putnam, jump ed into the Hneliyht at the annual city meeting, Monday mroning, when he ma5e the statement that the streets of Putnam are the worst in the world"
 When the increased appropriation for the highway department was -eached the x-mayor-senator sail that he wanted 8 word of explanation. l. was explained that there was a de- felt in the highway appropriation Of last year that had to be made up The senator said that there was c2nsi 3er- able work for the highway committee to do. They have got 10 do work or the people will have to move out, !" aid sea ator Macdonald. "0ur streets are in the most deplorable condition in thiry-three years" he saii. He said thai over in the section where he liysg an attempt was made to make surface water run up nil and the result l. that pc pie can not get in or out on account of water and mud. He sai- that the mayor and highway commit lee had come over, spent ten minute looking around, and the pc Jple though. something was going 70 be done, but nothing was done. He sai t vas almost impossible to get from ore residential section to another and said that t did no good to shovel On mud and then take 1t of again. "Our streets are the worst in the country" said the senator, concluding, Some thing will have to be done or people Hiil move out"
 Alderman Johnson, for several terms chairman Of the highway com rittee. took exception to Senator Macdonald's remarks. He said he had seen streets in other places and that Putnsm's streets would measure up | those in other small cities. He sai he appreciated the condition which Sen ator Macdonald alluded to in his own neighborhood and felt that the gentle --a- v.es ius.ifed in that criticism but he thought that his criticism was  lo. lar re aeniog aad too broad.
 Mayor Marcy said that he thought the senator would agree that the up- keep of the streets cost more money than formerly. He said that certain parts of the business section had been cleared of snow last year and this he believed to be good business. He also spoke of the paved gutters that had been laid These, he sail, he considered an investment rather tha an expense. Certain streets had been gravelled. Perhaps this was not the best method, but as good as could be afforded "I'll improve every street in the city" said the mayor, If you will give me the money to do it with. ,
 Senator Macdonald then good na turedly told the mayor and eitize that he was over there to "explode.' as that was the place to bring up such matters.
 Mayor Marcys questioning of Sen ator Macdonald brought out the fact that the curbing on his street, that it was admitted caused the trouble from surface water, was installed when Senator Macdonald was mayor of the city.
 The unusually large attendance was taken to mean that opposition to some of the appropriations would develop This was not the case, however, and the amounts recommended by the council were voted These are as fol
