sells are seamless, the joints being spun together, working the edges into a solid piece. There are no soldered seams to leak, and in this respect the modern utensils are superior to those of your grandfather's day Also the new pieces are of modern design. Up to the time this Two Rivers concern began work on the copper vessels the old forms were used. old-fashioned and not what the ladies desired to put on their tables. One has to recognize the fashions of the day and to cater to what the trade really wants This new copperware is known as Pilgrim ware" At the present time this ware is sold direct to the people, the mid dleman having been eliminated, this to keep the cost down. This ware costs more to make than does that from aluminium, and being sold to compete with it in price every attention has to be given to economical distribution It's the distribution that counts in most things, and is one Of the weak spot. of American industry right now
 Two Rivers Aluminium Town
 Two Rivers is noted as place in which many aluminium articles are manufactured, and it's population is r.ade up of worEmen skilled in hand ling this metal. Among other things are made hub caps for automobile wheels, and it can be truthfully stated that this is about the poorest cap i'm aginable. It has no strength, and very quickly it's threads are so worn that the cap falls off. Altogether superior is one of brass. nickel-plated. The man who buys an automobile ought to insist on the latter kind. His car would cost him no more for the better cap, and it would save him much an noyance and maybe a cut-out bearing. that IS giving attention to the making of copper utensils ought to be encour- aged by every family in copper min- ing or copper smelting town. It ought to be patronized by the people of any community looking for the best in these things.
 Let us all put in an order for the copper set that is already being pro- duced that other forms may be encour- aged. It is good business, will help the copper market and give us some thing much better. in cooking utensils than We have been using.
 There are things doing in the line of making new markets for copper that will undoubtedly result very sat isfactorily to both the producer and consumer.

Local Motorists Are Getting Wonderful
 Mileage On Fisks

Local motorists are having great success with Fisk tires, according to Ed Simmons, of the Cochise Motor Company.
 "The California Bakery" says Sim mons, reports two rear tires that have run 12,000 miles in the last 2S months. J. P. Clements got an aver age of $500 miles out of six tires. Lowell Philbrook is Fisk booster be. cause of the service he got out of two rear tires-Fisks. One has gone H. 900 and the other 13,OO0 miles. Will liam Reese has run his two rear Fisk tires 5000 miles and they are going yet. Robert Becker ran two rear tires 10000 miles, had them retreaded, and they are still going strong. These are just few of the many local motor ists who are getting remarkable serv- ice out of Fisks'

DRIVING TIPS

Oil the spedometer drive frequently to keep it working quietly and for a long time.
 Keep the spark advanced just short of the point where it makes a knock It will save gas.
 Avoid ruts and save the side walls of your tires.
 Semi-hard graphite grease is best for slow moving bearings.
 Plunging forward on low gear puts a severe strain on the rear axle and driving gear.
 Keep in the tool box a chart of the wiring system. for reference in case of accident.

MILAWAN AND LACKSANA
BY DR. FRANK CRANE Copyright 1921, by Frank Crane

The King of Siam is going to marry Lacksana may have married her by the time this is published.
 This is of interest to the people of Siam because of the unusual nature of the proclamation announc- ing it.
 The King previously engaged to his cousin, hafsster of Lacksana but the engagement broken off because the state of his fiancees health satisfactory.
 The King, who first met the beautiful Princess Vallabba Devi shopping expedition became en- gagged to her, but after few months declared that his noble desires could not satisfactorily be met owing to the incompatiblity of temperament between himself and the princess and because her system left much to be desired
 His royal preference now has lighted upon the Princess LackSana and everybody seems satisfied and it appears to be all in the family.
 The announcement has interest to the denzens of the Western world because of the fact that the King when he was Crown Prince announced that he would abolish the royal harem His grandfather had about 5000 wives
 Speaking in behalf of occidental civilization more or less devoted to monogamy, welcome the King to cur midst.
 He is forty years old, and ought to know what he is about.
 The difference between having 5000 wives and is not matter of quantity It is matter of quality.
 That is to say monogamy differs from polygamy of evolution. It is of the marks of mans advance from being animal with body to be- coming creature with a soul. Monogamy is an effort to idealize the strongest instinct of the human
 Of course monogamy has it's rebels within and it's foes without It is the favorte butt of the testing cyncs whose pride Is unfaith.
 But just the same as the world grows older and the slow process of evolution strengthens the moral fibre of the race and increases its dominance over a teria desires, monogamy grows frmer in its position
 It attracts to itself the poetry the beauty and the religion of the world

Fire Resulting from Friction

A Mr. Dabdoub of Nogales, this state, finds him. self afoul of the law He is, merchant, proprietor of a stock of goods of value which he estimates ranging from s55OoO to s60oOo but the exact value Of which cannot be ascertained by inventory or appraisement since nothing remains of the stock but ashes. He arrested Saturday for
 The only basis outsiders have for estimate of the value of the stock consists of the figures Mir Dabdoub gave to the assessor last spring in which he placed the worth of his merchandise at, recall s9 900. It is hard for the insurance companies and the authorities Santa Cruz county to believe that MT. Dabdoub actually quintupled his holdings within so brief time
 Even after making an allowance for degree of modesty which restrained him from vainglorious exhibition of his wealth the assessor-and most of us are modest in the presence of that functionary there is still too wide margin between any able taxable valuation those goods and the claim which has been made upon the insurance companies.
 These facts, however, do not constitute proof of arson and if the state shall be in position to adduce nothing in addition thereto it hardly send MT. Dabdoub to the penitentiary. But very much doubt whether with these bare facts before any jury in civil suit against the insurance companies would give Mr. Dabdoub a judgment for the amount of his claim. for anything at all.
 "Arson" is a hard word. It describes crime which difficult to prove for the that the ordinary clues of the crime go up flame For that reason, do not like to hear people ac- cused of arson or incendiarism. We rather prefer the modified description given by careful fire in agent of the origin of fire which the care lessly speaking said was the work of firebug.
 "No," said the agent. "It a natural con- flagraon resulting from friction caused by the con- tact Of too big fire insurance policy with too small stock of goods"

THE FREEDOM OF THE KNEES

The farthInga kept Elizabeth's court amused and shocked. The shoes worn by the medieval courier which ended in points a foot or two beyond his natural fec and had spurs at the back like bird claws, were good for hours of abs" rbing conversation; Sir Gawain of Gawkshire had just had a pair made. No one supposed he would adopt the fashion. The Duke of Duck ton had written a furious denuncia- tion of the fashion in shoes. That the pointed toe.

one hand while we choke them with the other? It is entirely possible to do that Sixty-five per cent of our taxes for schools sounds generous. but much of it can be nullified if we surround them with a murky atmos- phere of materialism in which chol- ars cannot thrive. There are some 20 square miles of the heart of Chi cago over which the blanket of dust and smoke which they call air is so thick that gardens will not grow. Boys and girls are even more sensi- tive to the influences that blow about them. Our everlasting talk about cars and clothes and cards across the dinner table, which is so often also the only hearth and altar of our homes, is stifling to the budding am bitions of the mind.

By Frederic J. Haskin

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3-An interesting struggle between the American women and the dictators of fashion is in full swing. New York oracles proclaim that the leg is no longer fashionable. Generally, the faintest whisper from the sanctums of fashion is heard from Maine to New Mexico, and the resuonse is in StantaneoCS.
 But this time there is q well de- fin d revolt against the edict. Much of feminine New York, lamblike, has taken to ankle length skirts. But in cities and way stations across the country the knee is still proudly shown by flappers. deputantes and others who make up the fashion pa rade.
 It seems apparent that the fem mine leg. Released after centuries of bondage. is loath to retire.
 Why should it asks a flapper of our acquaintancr. "A knee length skirt attracts nc attention at a bath ing beach. No one looks more than twice at ., girl in golf knickers Why should 9 knee be seen on the beach but hidden on the street2''
 The answer seems to be that fash ion has always been the worlds fa- vorite topic for gossip. Court beaux and beauties would have been bored to revolution had they not had the latest styles to dcteud and denounce

THE AIM OF EDUCATION

educated as well as the wealthier classes, and thus we had the pauper schools of the southern states organ ized in the early part Sf our history. These pauper schools were the be- ginning of the public schools system. They were undesirable. however, to the extent that the odium of attend ing a pauper school was undesirable, and great many of the poor peo- ple refused to accept the opportuni- ties. In Europe the Church schools were the recognized institutions of learning, and it was not until after the middle of the nineteenth century that European countries organized a rational educational system.
 In our own country, it was in the days of Horace Mann and Henry Barnard, 1S40-50 that an effort was made to organize a public school sys- schools of Europe, then brought back into our own country the best that
 they could find in European schools.
 From that day on until this we have
 realized that a monarchy may flour
 ish upon Ignorance, but a democracy
 demands an intelligent citizenship to
 insure its existence.
 It is out of that ideal that our
 wonderful public school system has
 grown to its present dimensions. We claim for 1t the best that there Is in the world. We maintain that 1t IS the best security for democratic in stitutions. We know that the ma jority of our people, whether they themselves have had the opportunity of getting an education or not, are favorably disposed toward the best that we can put in and get out of our ' public schools. It Is the safeguard of our national existence and of pro- l gress. We are, however. growing | into a larger understanding of the aims of education. We are begin ming to realize that the education of | our boys and girls is not only for citizenship, but it is for the protec- 1 ton and safety of the community, of 1 the state, of the country and of the world at large. All our great national problems have been solved through 1 the process of education of one or l two generations. It is the underly- i ing principle of carrying great and
 good cause to completion. We are 1 just awakening to the thought that
 we are not responsible only for the | education of our own children, but ] also, for the education of our neigh , hors' children, and all of the chil- dren of the community; for whatever small part these children may play in the life of the community. they will be there to retard or advance the best interests of the community. It is for the purpose of giving oul people of Phoenix and vicinity .
 chance to see our own schools, tha'
 we are this day inaugurattng a cam paign of publicity, and at the closing
 of this week, we shall give our peo- rle an opportunity to get better
