Mrs. Harriet Smile. who was elect
ed in the general elections last NoVem-
Der as a justice in Montpelier, stated
| Yesterday afternoon that she Will not
accept her commission and that she
will return it to Governor James Hart
| ness when it reaches her, She states
that the reason why she does not care
to accept the commission is that she
was an sutfrag;st and that while
she was not active she believes that
some woman who has been active IN
gaining equal suffrage should have
| the first honors; therefore, she viii not
take commission. The name of Miss
Evelyn Lease has been suggested as a
! likely appointec.

was looking over the check list in
Montpelier Monday afternoon 80 see
where Frank C., Cory resides, for the
purpose, ii was stated, Of ascertaining
if there was vacancy in the school
board and if an election was necessary
in ward three the coming year. The
checklist shows that he lives in ward
four and the street number is that OF
the house owned by s. s. Ballard. Mr.
CORY was elected last year and has ac-
complished considerable since in the
way OF changing the attitude Of some
on the board, it is said, towards the
wants OF the people. Possibly, although
his name is in ward four, it may be
temporary residence, as it was with the
case of Commissioner Ira Richard
son last wear and Willis Parker, who
was an alderman from ward six a few
years since.

OVER 130,0O0.OO0 CUB|CFEET IF GAS
 SOLD HERE IN 1920

The Arizona corporation commits sion recently issued an order dig posing of an application of the Cen tral Arizona Light and Power com pany for authority to increase its gas rates, pending for several months The value of the gas company's prop erty was established for rate-making purposes, but no further increases in rates were allowed
 An amendment to the tariffs was
 ized however, which states if the cost of oil to the gas company decreases IS cents q barrel the com pany must decrease it's rates cents per 1000 cubic feet. and converse ly, for each IS cent increase in the cost of fuel oil, If any increases oc- cur. the company is authorized to cubi effect for each Is cent increase in the cost of fuel oil
 A review of the reports of the com pany on file with the corporation commission. shows that the cost O. fuel oil from which gas Is made con stitutes 53 per cent of the total op- erating expenses of the gas business. Approximately 111a gallons of oil are required to produce 1000 cubic feet or manufactured gas. and IL Is from these figures that the rate diff ferential above outlined is derived. The company sold in excess of 1o3,- 000. 900 cubic feet in 1920 or three and one-half times the amount sold in i19l4.
 The cost of oil in 1914, delivered in Phoenix, was s1.49 per barrel. The average cost in 1920 was s2-s6 a bar rel, while in December of 1920, oil cost $3.59 a barrel The outlook for a reduction in the price of fuel oil is hopeful. There have been con siderable reductions in the mid-con tinent field, but the benefits accru- ing to Arizona have been offset to some extent by increases in freight rates in the latter part of last year. It is anticipated that reductions may he looked for soon in the California field.
 It may be state dthat Phoenix has lower gas rate than any other lo- caIity in the state with the exception of Yuma and an application is pend ing before the commission from the gas company at Yuma to double the rates or, as an alternative, to with draw from the gas business.

High School Notes

A senior class meeting was held yesterday morning and the annual and the junior-senior banquet were discussed. The first 32 pages of the annual have gone to press and the next 32 pages will follow soon- On account of the high cost of ban quet this year, resolution was passed stating that the juniors would not be expected to finance a big din- ner: that a simple affair would be very appropriate.
 Lee Moore, an alumnus and for mer student of Stanford university. told the seniors that the Stanford club of this city was going to give jolly up" party for the seniors. The dance will be conducted just as il would be at Stanford.
 The Glendale baseball team will come to Phoenix to play the Coyotes this afternoon at o'clock. This will be the final game before University week. The Glendale team beat the Coyotes the last game in ten i'm nings, but the Coyotes are out for blood this time. Don't forget the time and the place.

AMERICAN LEGION
 DANCE ON TUESDAY

Frank Luke Post No 1. of the American Legion. has in the old Pick erel home an ideally situated spot for club house. and the grounds that surround it are perfect Tse post has grown so much in the last two years that on meeting nights there is not room enough for all tke members to be seated in the ailottee room. so it is necessary that the post enlarge the space.
 A well known firm In Phoenix has made a bid on remodeling the entire lower floor so that it will be just one large meeting room, so arranged that it can be used for social gather ings of the post as well as the busi- ness meetings.
 It is with this in view that the benefit dance of Tuesday evening " be held. and from the first day sale of tickets it looks as if the dane will be a great success and that be- fore the summer is over the remod- eled club house will be one Of tie best appointed legion headquarters in the country.

REPRODUCING HEART BEAT
AND BREATHING SOUNDS

Taking the heart beat and the
breathing sounds of the human be-
ing and recording them on a steel
wire which will reproduce them at
later times has been the accomplish
ment of experts of the Department
of Commerce, Bureau of Standards,
at the request of and in coorera-
ton with officers of the Medical Corps
Of the Army.
Using an ordinary carbon tele-
phone transmitter adapted into a
stethoscope, the current set up by
the beats and breathing were am
plifed and connected with steel
wire telegraphone which has the diff
ferent sounds impressed upon its
spool of wire in the form of vary
ing degrees of magnetization. By
connecting this recording instrument
to amplifiers and a loud-speaking
telephone, the heart sounds can be
heard in all parts of the room. This
method of obtaining permannt re-
cords of heart beat and breathing
sounds will make possible the filing
away of records of normal and un-
usal conditions of the heart and
lungs, and their use for demonstra-
lions at clinics and university lee
lures is forseen.
The methods of handling different
classes of telephone traffic and of
determining the amount of facilities
and the number of operators are ex-
planned. All the principal elements
of service, such as adequacy of IA
cilities, accuracy of speech repro
duction, dependability of the plant,
speed, reliability of the switching
equipment, degree of safety and
courtesy are treated in detail. Pub
lie relations as handled by public
utility commissions are summarized
Statistically, the progress of the
telephone industry is traced. In 1880
there were 81, 3O5 miles of iron wire
in the United States; in 1917 there
were 28,827,183 miles of wire, most
ly of copper, or more than enough
mileage to encircle the earth thou
sand times.

hats the future of the Conference
might be more safely predicted. But
in all probability the public never will
know much about these questions be-
cause the groups of the Conference
are substantially the outlet by which
secret diplomacy will arrive at it's
covenants as it was in the beginning
is now, and likely will be for all
time.
We do know, however, that there
is not a clear unanimity of opinion
about the size of the navies to be
kept going under the Hughes sug-
gestions. Mr.. Bryan, sitting in the
Conference as a reporter, but never
the less big factor in the thinking
processes of the American nation, has
suggested that the United States can
eel the war debts owed by foreign
governments. So far, he is a
IIonely minority; but possible that
idea may grow, and fit into the de-
alterations of the coming weeks in
a very large way. Mr. Bryan is
not alone among the ''idealists" who
patiently watch the Vaccinations Of
diplomacy, an dthe newspaper end
of the Conference is occupied by
men like H.. G. Wells the great NUM-
bers of other whose names could be
mentioned, whose ideas sof rdcon-
struction in world affairs have been
more generally accepted than those
Of the men who actually compose the
Conference. For such Conferences
are composed almost entirely of pol
iticians who have gone as high on
the ladder that they are called states
men-and it is to be hoped that
many of them in this Conference will
demonstrate that they are what they
are reputed to be.

> WASHINGTON LETTER
By J. E. JONES.
{. !
THE SWING OF WORLD
OPINION

The opinions of Senator Borah
are entitled to great weight at
this particular time, and Senator
Borah says the navy-scrapping pro-
gram is in the main the result of
public opinion. No man in the
senate did more than the Idaho states
man to create the public opiEion to
which he refers. In these moment
Gus days in which the attention of
the world is focused on the events
transpiring in Washington, the in
sistent cry is for peace-for such a
peace as it is believed will be pos
sible if the great Conference regis
tiers the heart-throbs of the world.
When that great column moved
down Pennsylvania Avenue and on to
the National Cemetery at Arlington
and as the services were held that
consigned to sacred American soil
the precious, remains of the UNI
know soldier, there was rekindied in
the hearts of millions of people a
burning flame that will not be ex-
tinguished until the world has made
itself safe against any nation yearn-
ing to enforce it's superior arbitrary
will upon any other nation through
the hideous processes of war. AS
the President spoke at Arlington his
voice was heard clearly in New York,
San Francisco, and in intermediate
points, where perhaps a. million peo-
pie participated directly in the Ar
iington funeral, and sang in unison
the National anthems of their coun-
try; bowling too, as they joined in
prayer while the principal service
was going on at Arlington. This
great Achievements was made pos
sible b ythe American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, and it stands
forth as a great contribution of
science to the Arlington ceremony
AS the nation consciously participat-
ed in the burial of the unknown sol
der it also quite urconsciously placed
itself squarely behind the momentous
plan outlined by Secretary Hughes
On the following day.
In wartime everyone has seen how
sentiment and passion has been play
ed upon, in order to line up the
country behind its military leaders;
but it is unusual outside the excite
ments of rare p official campaigns,
to find public sentiment crystalized
so suddenly, when the object is world
peace. 1t is long jump from the
grim mood for war which SO recently
gripped the nation. But this senti-
ment which we all recognize today
is far different from political en-
thusiasm, or war fever, since it
represents the highest moral quail
ties of humanity in expressing the
Christian spirit of love for our fell
bowman.

DEATHS.
WRIGHT

Funeral services for Miss Edith
Wright, aged twenty-four, who died
at the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert Wright, on Pleasant
street, in this city, at 1870 O'Clock
Tuesday night, following a protract-
ed illness, were held at the family
home Wednesday afternoon, at three
o'clock, conducted by Rev. W. E..
Ellis, pastor of the Christian church,
and Rev. c. H. Greer, pastor of the
Methodist church.
Miss Wright had been in declining
health for several years, during
which time she had been a patient
on several occasions at a Lexington
hospital, and every thing was done
that medical science and loving
hands could do, but to no avail. She
made a brave fight against the dread
disease which gradually Slapped away
her young life, but the fight was an
unequal one, and she passed peace
fully away at an early hour Tues
day morning, surrounded by the mem
bers of her devoted family.
Miss Wright received her educa-
ton in the Paris High School, where
she attained high honors in her
classes, and was known as a faithful
and conscientious student. She was
an unusually bright and attractive
