is PEACE ARCH
International Mizpah on Cana
dian-American Line.
Ten Thousand Attend Dedica-
ton Ceremonies Today.

Blaine, Wash, Sept. 6.-The worlds
first Peace Arch, an international
MiZpah in concrete and steel, was dedf-
Gated here this afternoon on the Amer
ican-Canadian boundary line. The
dedication was held under the auspices
of the Pacific Highway association.
Ten thousand Americans and Canadians
voiced in songs and cheers their ap-
proval'of the Treaty of Ghent, "a scrap
of paper" signed in the Belgian city
December "a, 1871 between the
United States and Great Britain and
honored to this day without a breach;
a pledge of peace that. along three
thousand miles of mountain. sea and
plain, has never been touched by the
red fingers of conflict-that has never
been overshadowed by fort or sword
and that no sentry has ever challenged.
Standing in Doric simplicity within
one hundred yards of Semiahmoo bay,
its massive form rests obliQuely on the
international line, its lofty plinths car
rying a reminder of a common par
entage and message of brotherly
unity, its gates of bronze thrown wide,
it's walls inclosing timbers from the
Mayflower and the Beaver, the first
steam vessel to ride the Pacific.
Four nations participated in today
acknowledgements Great Britain,
Belgium and France-and added sig
nificance attaches to the event be-
tional disarmament conference will
open in Washington. The day itself
is significant. for on September the
Mayflower sailed from Plymouth for
America; on September Lafayette
was born, and on that date Marshal
Joffre. who had planned to attend to-
days celebration, fought the Battle of
the Marine.
The Peace Arch, whose architect was
H. w. Corbett, was started in July,
1920, and it was finished, in the rough,
in November. The center of the por-
tai is exactly on the boundary line.
The great memorial rests on a foun-
dalton of seventy-six piles driven into
the earth from twenty-five to thirty
feet On top of the piles is a nine
inch layer of concrete; on that a dou-
BILE layer of steel; then another floor
of concrete twenty-one inches thick;
next a double layer of steel and lastly
eight inches of concrete.
The peak of the arch Is sixty feet
from the base; its inside dimensions
are 40x20 feet. and in its construction
500 cubic yards of concrete and fifty
tons of stoel were used.

TWO HELD FOR FLIRTING

of Mexican girls on Kansas avenue

men are in the city Jail wondering
why things are done differently here.
McGlaslin and Gabba were sitting
in Ford car in front of the Crosby
Brothers store when they noticed the
two maidens passing on the sidewalk
Perhaps 1t was because they were far
from home and thought the two girls
were members of their own tribe who
could cheer them in their lonesome
ness, or it might have been due to the
fact that their spirits had already
been cheered by some of the prepara-
rations they had made for crossing

Famine in Silk
Stockings Hits
Southern Girls

Savannah, Co., Sept. e. With a
high demand for only the best, the
women of this city are today facing
the greatest shortage of silk stockings
in local history, according to mer-
chants, who claim strike conditions IN
the north make it impossible to Sc
cure enough silk hose to meet the in
creasing demand.
Merchants say the women do not
care for cotton or Isle thread. but de-
mand full-fashioned silk. They claim
the mock fashion hose will not do be-
cause of baggy qualities encountered
about the calf.
The shortage particularly applies to
white hose. Local women do not
favor the half hose, it is claimed.

QUIET DAY FOR POLICE
Not a Single Arrest Made as Result OF
Labor Day.


Labor Day proved a quiet affair for
the police. Not a single arrest re-
suited from the celebration and the
police had to content themselves by
looking after the usual number of
speedsters and violators of the park
ing ordinance and even they were
scarce.
Acting on the suspicion that corn
whisky and home brew might be in a
demand for Labor Day, the police
made round Saturday night Of the
places where the stuff has been man
ufactured in the past but found them
dark. Frank Leech, chief of detec-
tives, made another round Monday
morning but decided it was going to be
a dry celebration. The old time
violators were absent.
Late Monday night. a squad of po-
lice under Lieut.. ]. L. Kennedy, Wis
tied the home of Peter SchoenfeIdt
40 East Fairchild street. where they
found a ten gallon still, nine quarts of
corn whisky and two quarts of wine
