4 BUSY
 MONTH FUR OFFICE
 STAFF IF '. W. |. 4.

September has been a busy month for the various departments of the Phoenix Y. W. c. A, according to the report of the general secretary.
 During the month of September the general secretary was called to 10 different committee meetings in the consideration of fall plans.
 The Indian school is without a sec retary for the year, as Miss Cate was transferred to Haskell Indian school. While from the general secretary s office it is impossible to give any reg ular assistance, Superintendent John Brown of the Indian school was very anxious to have help in planning the program for the volunteer workers from the school itself.
 Miss Margaret Hurley has been se- cured as teacher for the gymnasium class. Many calls have been received concerning the class and a splendid class is anticipated.
 A Good Times club is planned for the younger business girls, but they have asked to wait until the middle of October before starting as many are still away on evacations or are busy setting up the office work for the fall.
 The room registry department re- port has been given before and no investigations have been made since then. The figures of 6S6 during the month of September for the informa- ton. room registry and employment departments will show that the sec retarial staff was kept more than busy. This meant an average Of 70 people a day, and considering what 2S people, one at a time. for every day in the month except Sundays will demand, one may gain an estimate O. the work of these departments. On one day the calls totalled 5S, which made a tremendous strain on the physical energy of the secretaries Case work is always very exactinG in it's demands on the worker. Fol instance. one day brought an insane case which finally became violent and had to be turned over to the police authorities; another. legal case. with the girl brought to the as

JOHN HYDER BACK
 AFTER TWO MONTHS;
 HEALTH IMPROVED

Greatly improved in health after a visit to the famous Mayo Bros, at Rochester, Minn., and a stay at Hot Springs, Ark, John Hyder returned on Tuesday to Phoenix after an ab- sence Of two months. Mir. Hyder was greatly impressed with the size of this remarkable institution and the remarkable number of people who go there from all over the world
 ''The Mayo Bros, handle through their clinics from 800 to 400 patients every day" said Mir. Hyder. 'I was shown through a report that during 1919 there were there from Canada. 666; from Germany, 262; Russia, I49; Norway, 145; Sweden, 137: England, 16S; Ireland, S2. and Austria, 72. There were of course many others from other countries. I found they employ 226 doctors and have total of from $50 to TOO people employed in the institution.
 'eWher l left Phoenix last August I first visited Los Angeles where l attended the Wholesale Industrial Buying Week which was attended by buyers from all over the country. Fare were refunded to many buyers, ana l Nd-lJ tO Say llldl 1HuuSlFldl week in Phoenix should prove of great value to wholesalers as well as retailers. From there I went to San Francisco V here I visited with my former manager Arnold Blumenthal who is with the Emporium, and with Sidney Wolf, formerly of Phoenix, who is in the advertising field.
 Arriving ip Hot Springs, Ark. on September 20, I found the weather exceedingly warm, with the ther- mometer registering above 100 de- grees every day. Leaving Hot Springs I was anxious to get back to Phoenix, but I made brief stop in Fl Paso where their fair was in progress. There was a fine delegation there sent by the Mexican government with the best of Mexican bands. AL so I went to Juarez where I witnessed my first bull fight. Juarez is crow ded all the time with Americans look ing for anus Inent."

HAWAII BOASTS AN IRRIGATION PROJECT

That landSreclamation is not neces- sarily confined to the southwestern
 part of the United States is shown by a report from the Hawaiian Islands, where the native tribes were assumed
 to be dying out. This diminishing
 tendency appears to have been ar rested in a colony established by the
 Mormon church at Laie, the work
 under charge of Samuel E. Woolley
 who is well known in Phoenix, a pio- neer Mormon leader of southern Utah.
 The Laie settlement now comprises
 500 men, women and children, nearly
 all full blood Hawaiians. The pur-
 chase price If the land has been fully
 paid Irrigation and domestic water supplies are secured from large wells. An electric light plant is in operation On the 6000-acre site where once was
 only an old ranch house, now are a church. a school house and many comfortable homes, usually grouped in small villages, with sidewalks and modern conveniences. The cottages have cost from 5000 to S300O each. The birth rate is the highest per fam ily of any group of Hawaiians on the islands. The colonists are of excel lent physical type. No one is ever intoxicated and no one ever hungry. 1 There is insistence upon physical and
 moral standards.
 The settlement recenly was visited | by Riley NJ. Allen, who cites it as an example of what can be accomplished | in the way of making Hawaiians con- tented and successful farmers.

BOLD BURGLAR ROBS r. I. HARDWOOD HOME

No doubt the public has a just grievance against the railroads but the manner of redress adopted by a disgruntled patron who invaded the home of Fred. A. Kirwood, agent of the Consolidated ticket office, last Sunday morning will not meet with general approval.
 About o'clock in the morning this person, in the guise of burglar, en- tered the home of Mir. Kirkwood at the corner of Second and Monroe streets and took everything of value he could find. MT. and Mrs. Kirk wood are both light sleepers. but not light enough to be aroused by the cat-footted intruder who operated within two feet of their bed. He took from MT. Kirkwood's trousers a valuable gold watch which the lat ter's mother gave him 80 years ago, and what money there was in the pockets. Re ransacked sewing bas- kets, evidently in search of jewelry. These were carried out into the yard. where their contents were found strewn about. More than a half dozen stickpins were taken.
 In the room adjacent to the bed room he had turned on a light. He crowned his audacity by taking carton of cigarettes, and Mir. Kirk wood suspects that he must have had the nerve to stop and smoke some of them in the house.
 Mr. Kirkwood was awakened a lit tie after o'clock, probably by the closing of the door as the burglar was retiring.

SAYS DAM CAUSED
 DAMAGE ID LANDS

Through the placing of two rock and brush dams in the course Of the Gila river, J. O. Lockhart declares in suit filed Tuesday against the Buckeye Irrigation district, the course of the river has been diverted so that the waters flowed over his lands, damaging them to the extent of $1G,000, which amount he asks to re- cover from the defendants. The Gila river. he says, flows on the south side of his lands.
 About two years ago. he says, the defendants built a dam across the river causing the course of the river to be diverted to the northwest over his lands Without his permission, he says, the defendants about two months ago constructed a second dam in the new course of the river, diverting it in a more northerly di- rection over his lands- As result, he says. his lands have been gullied and washed away by the river, the stream destroying q part of them Tor agricultural purposes.
