PHOENIX To OBSERVE
WASH|NCTON'S BIRTH
anniversary TODAY

Phoenix and all Arizona will mark
time today while citizens pay tribute
to the memory of George Washington,
father of this great nation. Practically
observe the day as a legal holiday on
the occasion of his 1Seth birthday an
niversary
George Washington was born Feb.
%, 1872, at Pope5s Creek, Westmere-
land county, Va, the son of Augustine
Washington. His mothers name. be-
fore marriage was Mary Ball.
His acts and achievements during
the revolutionary period are too well
known to warrant recounting here.
But at the close of the long. hard
struggle with England, George Wash
ington returned to his home, Mount
Vernon, there hoping to spend the re-
mainder of his life. His retirement
from the military theater was marked
by his appearance before congress at
Annapolis, Nd Dec. %, 1888, when he
said:
Having now finished the work as
signed me, retire fro mthe great the
alter of action; and bidding an effec-
| Tomato farewell to this august body,
under whose orders 1 have long acted
| L here offer my commission as COM
mander-in- chief and take my leave of
all the employments of public life
| But his retirement from public life
was not to be for long. A new consti-
tuition was formed in Philadelphia in
1889 and on April 6 of that year Wash
ington was elected president of the
| United States-the first president. He
proceeded to New York, then the seat
of government, on horse back and for
mally took the oath of office April so
i17S9. The sub-treasury of the United
States in Wall street, New York city
VOW stands where Washington took the
oath.
In 1898 he was reelected president
of the United States by unanimous
lvote of the. electors and took the oatl
lof office March 4, 1893 He went ou
of iffice in 1897 and again sought re-
tirement to private life. But war with
France was threatening and on Jul,

NEW JUVENILE COURTS
LAW FOB L nMnOM

Lady Astor, American born Nancy
Langhorne, and first woman member
of England's house of commons. has
added new applause to her career
through the winning fight she put IN
against an amendment TO the London
Juvenile courts bill.
The bill as originally drafted permit
ted q woman magistrate to sit in the
courts with the stipendiary magistrate
tbS L@1tsr boing a paid official The
amendment reduced the woman magi-
strate TO the position of assessor
which may be said to be a person who
may talk but need not be listened to.
Lady Astor, by her common sense
presentation of the need of women
judges in courts where children are
tried. defeated the amendment, thereby
lsetting a precedent for the entire world.
