To the Editor of The Republican,:
 With much interest I have read the two letters in today's Republican and feel impelled to write you myself
 It would certainly be fine if the women folks of the Y. M. c. A. mem- bers could have day at their pool.
 While I regret as deeply as anyone the recent drowning. 1 feel that the town ditch' is great blessing to the city during the heated period. and I have always rejoiced that in it our children can learn to swim Before coming to Phoenix my home was in a land of lakes and rivers and it was a matter of regret to me that my boys were to be brought up where they would have no opportunity. as thought a number of years ago, to learn the various water sports. But during the past three years they have been almost daily. during the sum- mer. to the canal. only a few blocks from our house. and even the younger one, eight years old, swims fairly we'll, and I am grateful that they have had this opportunity tc learn this art which Is not merely a source of great pleasure to them but may be the means of life saving some time.
 have long felt. too, that our cana should be beautiful and kept clear and made as safe as possible for oul boys and girls. I would like to see il parked wherever possible and more trees planted beside 1t. would like to see all citizens feel such an inter est in it that no one would throw bottles, cans nor trash of any kind into it. I would like to see ladders placed in every block so that one could get out with ease. We might even some day have a municipa swimming teacher. Every boy ant girl in Phoenix should know how tt swim.
 The lovely trees and green swart in the Woodlawn district form one o
 the beauty spots of Phoenix and giv. much pleasure to the .neighborhood We should beautify the canal in tn, east part of town, in the high schoo | district. It could easily be done. Le us provide summer joys for thos, who do not leave town during thi, period. We have an opportunit, found in few cities-a swimming poo | the breadth of the town Let u. beautify it. purify it. make it saf, | and wholesome Let us encourag, | all clean sports and free our childrer | from the bondage of fear and mak,

into the skin and causes intense itching.
 The disease is communicated by contact with the person affected or with anything he has used.
 Everyone having the disease must be treated until cured. and the under clothing. bedding. towels and any thing which has come in contact with the body of each case must be boiled or baked each time they are washed.
 Each affected person in the family should take hot bath. scrubbing the body with soap and water (prefer- ably with a nail brush) and continu- ing the bath for about half an hour. Then rub the body with the oint- ment or other local application pre- scribed by the physician. put on clean clothing and go to a perfectly clean bed.
 In the morning the ointment may be washed off, but none of the cloth ing previously worn may be put on.
 Repeat this treatment for several successive nights. and if it is done thoroughly, cure should be affected
 Ring Worm
 Kindly advise me of relief for chronic ring worm on left arm. have doctored it in every way possi- ble, but have not got any relief, and it causes me loss of sleep from burn ing sensation. It extends from elbow to shoulder.
 This is rather unusual, for ring worm on the non-hairy parts of the body is usually treated with consider able success. Various applications are used. among them, particularly l iodine and also oleate of copper. would, accordingly, suggest that tht trouble may not really be ring worm and that you should consult a quail l fled specialist in skin diseases, wht | will. perhaps, be able to relieve you

childrsn's Day At Riverside

Contrary to what usually happens when The Re- publican undertakes anything. 1t succeeds beyond expectations. Generally enterprises in which men enEaxe are somewhat disappointing. Though sue cessful in a measure. they do not come fully up to ,r.icipations It may be that The Republican is not sansuine enough.
 Now there was the Pioneer celebration which nut on last April In the first place sus- pected that there were so many people in Arizona who could qualify under the thirty five limit of residence and had idea that there would be such a proportionate outpouring of those who could qualify. preparation for that event seemed ann ple with safe margin. Yet we were swamped when if we could have foreseen with what numbers and enthusiasm the preparations to be met could easily have arranged for 1t. We know now and when we have another Pioneer period we hope to have next year, we will better guided in preparing for pioneers
 And then there was the Children's Day at Riverside Park Monday Though the outing was designed for all the children of Phoenix under the aKe of fifteen inclusive with minimum age limit, we did not imagine that there would be more than $500 in attendance We would have gladly welcomed many more but it did not to us or to anybody that there would be more. yet left margin of 500.
 Gratified as we were when the attendance was doubled over the margin figure somewhat embarrassed by the presence of 600o just twice as many IS there at the Miraculous Feeding. We know how the Apostles felt then, but in case. there no miracle of the multiplication of loaves and fishes
 A supply of ice and lemonade for 5000 children entirely inadequate for 5000 young We hustle for more all there was in reserve in town.
 Our qualification at the great and unexpected number of little guests somewhat tempered by the fact that there unavoidable delay in serving them and that of them may have been iazdequately served. But know that they all had a good time wonderful that in that throng nobody hurt in body mind.
 But wait until next year. We'll know better what to do: we'll prepare for a jubilee of 10000 children. There will be in the valley then. and more ice cream And maybe Messrs. Ricards and Mace who spared nothing to complete the enjoyment of the children, who took as much in- in the affair if it their own will en- large the swimming pool which is already the big Eest and best we ever saw-we doubt whether there is another such in the whole country,-but which is not big enough for all the children in Phoenix at one time

ARIZONA NAVE[S NOT 1
 AFFECTED BY PRICE |. SLUMP SAYS EXPERT
Rx w. S. chiIds


 There is one farm product in the Salt River valley that has been un~ affected by the general slump in prices and that is the Washington navel orange. The Washington navel orange ripens in the Salt River val ley from two weeks two one month before the Washington navel orange in Southern California, and therefors brings a better price than the same from Southern California. Even while this orange is still green in the Salt River valley it has more sugar in it than when yellow in Southern California The Washington navel orange from the Salt River valley always brings good price.
 Our long, sunny summers. which some people think disagreeable and go out to Southern California to es- cape. are a blessing to the orange growers. While Southern California is covered with a high fog or drenched in low fog. Southern Ari- zona is bathed in sunshine, which IS at work maktn money for our orange growers. This sunshine continually furnishes power by which the orange leaves turn their crude products. coz and H2O, water, into finished product, sugar, which is stored In the oranges.
 Each orange iedI IS d nlttc Su6df factory that goes full blast every day the sun shines From the soil water enters the leaves through the velns and from the air carbon dioxide. coz. enters through the stomata. In the chlorophyl cells, green cells. of the leaves this water and carbon dioxide are united into sugar by the sun rays. the process being termed pho- l tosynthesis, and the sugar immedi- ateiy transferred to other parts of the plant
 In the Salt River valley we have more sunshine than they do in South ern California, and when the time arrives for gathering the products of | this sunshine we are far ahead or Southern California. This is why our oranges are sweeter whan they are l still green than those in Souther1 California after they have turned yellow. This is also why our orangef are preferred and bring the highest prices of all Washington navel or- anges.
 ] To our sunshine we may also at- tribute our superior grape nult' which is preferred in Southern Call | fornia to their local grape fruit and
 which brings from $1 to $2 po1 more than their local grapefruit Southern California may be aple 70 surpass. us in lemon growing. but

The Three-cent Stamp

We are for the three-cent postage stamp as of increasing the public revenue-if will it. If not it will have another beneficial effect of reducing the burden of mails which great weight mail trains. postal clerks and carriers say nothing of newspaper offices throughout the country.
 The average is not much of a letter writer. He refrains from writing the expense. He would write if the postage were one cent if the government instead of charging postage on letters should offer bonus of two three cents letter; that would not overcome the reluct- of the average citizen to engage in epistoary endeavor.
 It would be unfortunate if the lack of penny the difference between two cent stamp and a three cent stamp should be bar to a letter, from poor woman in matter of necessity or im- portance but do think that that would in comparatively many be a bar.
 considerable part of first class mail Is made of business letters and rule those who have business are able to pay the postage that the payment of the additional penny would not be a hardship.
 Another considerable part of first class mail con- sists of the letters of the propagandst. They are the ones would like to the three cent bar drawn against. We wish if it possible, that their letters might be differentiated that fifty postage stamp would be reqiured. Perhaps even three stamp would do some good not in the way of lessening the number of their letters in increasing the government revenues It might the effect of driving them resort to the one cent stamp and that would enable the newspa per offices distinguish the correspondence glance, so that the letters designated could be tossed in the paper basket without the of open ing the envelope.

IL Must ss Done At Once

what Is done about the long staple cotton tariff must be done quickly according to Senator Ashurst whose telegram the Phoenix Chamber of Com merce brings information that the hearings by the senate finance committee the permanent tariff nu had already begun would be completed within twenty days. We had been prepared for this an rcrncement by statement by Chairman Penrose of the committee two weeks ago that the hearings would be brief
 Though there are not the iron clad rules in she senate as there the house. especially the means of bringing throttling rule. to prevent free discussion of measure the foor there will be decided advantage in securing favorable action Sy the committee as to a cotton tariff.
 It may be too that that will be essential that though amendments from the floor will be permiss- soie an agreement will have been reached by ma 3orssy of the senators that will effectualiy bar amendments as the rule in the house did.
 There was such agreement in the case of the emergency tariff bill. we suppose the readily entered because of the necessity of early ac- tson The statement was then made by in high authority that there was not in all the world. not even the president himself influential enough eecure . change the reported bill In the cir cunstances requiring haste it perhaps necessary to enter into an agreement to close absolutely the door to any change or else there would have been a flood of amendments.
 So it is advantageous if not necessary to secure favorable action beginning. for opposition will he the more difficult encounter later, and there win be strong opposition earlier. too, that friendliress in the south be stirred into active support the better will be for the long staple cotton industry.

 Please tell me what I can do to avoid getting boils. I get them every five or six years. Also tell me if it Is injurious to the system to take salt petre. and how to take it? What size should the doses be?
 Experience shows that the re- peated occurrence of boils is often due to continued external irritation, and perhaps, to working in infected dusts, and the like. In some cases. there is apparently a special suscep- tibility on the part of the patient When the latter is the case, physi- clans sometimes give the patient a course of vaccine treatment which raises the patients resistance to the infection, and prevents the develop ment of the boils. Under the cir cumstances, you will realize that you ought to consult a qualified physi- cian
 You ought not to take saltpetre unless it is prescribed for you by a physician. This drug is used as a diuretic, but like all other such drugs may do considerable harm if used in juriously.

MAYBR|NC FOR
 SPECIAL ELECTION

That mandamus proceedings will be instituted against Ernest R. Hall, secretary of state. to compel him to call a special election on. house bill S3 in November was reported at the state house yesterday.
 The rumor was based on the fact that J. l.. B. Alexander yesterday made a check on the journals of the fifth state legislature covering the bill. said to have been preparatory to bringing court action.
 The bill referred the matter Of in- creasing the bonded indebtedness of the state pertaining to the construc- ton of reclamation projects to the people at a special election set for November. A referendum directed against section of the bill which called for the election was put in circulation shortly after the bill was signed. The petitions, containing more than twice the necessary num- Der of signatures. were filed with the secretary.
 Mir. Hall asked the opinion of W. j.. Galbraith. attorney general, in the matter and the states legal advisor held that "a referendum in a refer endum" was without effect
