 Mrs. Craig was introduced by Miss headed the organization, rendering exceptionally worth while service.

MRS. JOSEPH STARK ID RESIGN AS HEAD
 0F WOMAN'S CLUB

That Mrs. Joseph Stark, president of the Woman's club. will tender her resignation at a meeting of the ex- ecutive board to be held this morning was the rumor in club circles yes terday. It is understood that Mrs. Stark has suffered a nervous break down. due to her efforts in the club and ir service work last winter, and has been advised by her. physician to take complete rest for a year. Il is understood that the presidency win be offered to Mrs Lloyd B. Christy, who was elected vice. e-presi- dent last spring when Mrs. Stark was chosen to serve a second year as head of the largest and most power ful organization in the Central Ari- zon District Federation of Woman's s Clubs
 The word also has been given out that another member of the board of directors. Miss May Noble, has for warded her resignation from Taos that it may be read at this morning S session of the board. Miss Noble has been identified with the artists colony in New Mexico since spring and it is believed that she wishes to be relieved of club duties that she may devote all her time to art. Miss Noble is a director as member at large.
 Both Mrs. Stark and Miss Noble have been prominent in club work. While Miss Noble has directed her efforts entirely to the art depart ment of the club there is no feature of club work that has not come to the attention of Mrs. Stark. As president she has divided her inter ests with all departments but if showing a preference for any par ticular work has centered most em- phatically on the civics education section This has bean demonstrated in the innovations in the department which were made at her suggestion. II was Mrs. Stark's idea that the club hold open house on Friday after moons during the season in compli- Dent to the wives of the legislators and it was her plan that led to the
 litney dances at the club to re- place down town dance halls for high school students.
 Mrs Stark's resignation will be a matter of regret to progressive club women who have approved her policy. While she will give up the leadership il Is understood that she will retain her membership in the club and at- tend a meeting occasionally.

OLD MYSTERY OF THE SEA
What Became of Fine Liner pr.sL
dent Which Disappeared in
the Year 1841?

Among the modern sea mysteries
none is more battling than the vanish
ing of the liner President in lS4l.
The vessel was the latest word in lux
urious ocean travel, having but lately
been launched. and that day in March
when she sailed from New York for
Liverpool every vessel in the North
river paid tribute to her size and SUI
periority. She was 26S feet long and
Of 1880 tons.
Early In April reports began %
filter into America from Liverpool that
the President had not arrived, and a.
the days sped on far into the summer
the agony of suspense on both sides
the ocean grew. On her passenger
list had been the names of many promi-|
nent persons, among whom were the
celebrated comedian Tyrone Powers,
George G.. Goodman and the duke q
Devonshire. A few more than 100
passengers were aboard the President
Whether the President foundered
in some violent gale, was sunk or
crushed by icebergs, or was destroyed
by fire, no man TO this day has been
able to tell, for not even u splinter 0f
wreckage was ever reported seen.

I'VE really do look like zebras. Yes,
We really do. OF course, most people
know that zebras are something like

horses. The Zebras are simply like

they are much smaller than horses.
NOW of course we don't look like
horses at all. Not at all.
But We do look something like
zebras, just as Mr.. Tiger Swallowtail
looks like a tiger in his markings.
I'VE have green and black stripes

haven't tails such as animals have,

And why should they look like the

And we don't want people to think

butterfly. Once they know zebra

butterfly as Zebra Butterfly one
knows Zebra Butterfly the next time
one sees a Zebra Butterfly.
"And Mr.. Tiger Swallowtail mustn't
think he is the only creature with =

he does really think so, but he mustn't

the Zebra Butterfly who looks like the

SO perfectly did the control function

the speed Of the target vessel at will.
Officers Much Impressed.
Army and navy officers who wit
messed the test were much impressed
by the possibilities of development Of
the radio control idea for use in future
wars. 1t was said to be apparent that
radio control might eliminate some
loss of life In such enterprises as
block ship" operations as when the
British undertook at Zeebrugge and
Ostend to bottle up German subma-
rines. The block ship" of the future.
it was pointed out, might sail serenely
into an enemy harbor without soul
on board and be sunk to obstruct its
channel by the electrical explosion f
her magazines.
Already the navy Is working out
plans for shifting control at will from
surface vessel like the Ohio to air
craft, either heavier or lighter than
air. The radio control device on the
Ohio is so simple, officers say. that
little difficulty is anticipated in adapt
ing it for use in an airplane or diri-
gible.
When this development Is worked
out the controlling aircraft will be
able to work at an altitude Of 1O.oOO
feet and above, safe from any gunfire
from below, and steer the controlled
vessel anywhere on the sea within fuel
radius.
To Equip Other Ships.
A movement Is afoOt to install radio
control on at least one more obsolete
battleship and two old destroyers to
serve as targets for aerial bombing
practice and further experiments with
radio control. Extension of expert
ments to the possibility Of applying
the radio control idea to aircraft also
is under consideration and 1t Is within
probabilities that giant crewiess bomb
