Eastern Railways
Will Accept Cuts
In Freight Rates

NEW YORK, May 29.--The ten per
cent reduction in freight rates or
dered by the interstate commerce
commission effective July !, will De
accepted by the 81 railroads of the
eastern division it was decided at q
special meeting of officials OF these
roads today. It also was decided TO
enter formal protest against the 1lno-
ings Of the commission that on ana
after March /, 1922, the fair return
on railroad investments, as provided
by the transportation act shall De
5a per cent There was no consid-
GRAFTON of wages or passenger rates.
L. F. Loree, chairman of the east
ern presidents conference, said to-
night the conference felt the roads
had no other alternative except TO
put the rates into effect without a
formal order. Regarding the matter
of flair return" he said the confer
ence "believed this return is lower
than is required by law and will not
enable the railroads to finance Them
selves to the extent that they should
be able to do in order to render SER
vice to the public"
While no official action was taken.
the personal sentiment of many OF
the executives represented at today, :
meeting was decidedly strong for ad-
ditional wage reductions, it was an
nounced. AS expressed by one Off
cial the roads confidently expect
that the rest of the 1920 increase will
be wiped out, to offset the $400, ,000,-
reduction in freight rates"

To GIVE LESSONS
IN HOUSEWORK At
FRIENDLY HOUSE

"F'riendly House." the little Amerl-
canization bungalow at 9 West SheF-
man street, under the direction OF
Mrs. Carrie Ferris Green, Will now
take up different angle OF the prop
lem of making over foreigners INTO
good American citizens. The evening
classes have been solving the euuca
tional difficulties, aiding young ana
adult alike to learn the language anu
some OF the customs of the country
which will one day be theirs. but
the home customs of the average LOT
eigner are so different from those ol
an American that this has proved one
of the greatest stumbling docks iii
the progress of the work.
Miss Flossie Wills, OF the home &c
onomics department of the state, mas
now volunteered her services IN ELM
mating some of this difficulty by a
class in "housewifery, to which the
mothers and daughters of the Mexi-
can families may come and learn all
the up-to- date methods OF mousse
keeping. Her plan Is to teach tne
women not only how to run their own
homes in an economic and business
like manner, but to make their learn
ing yield them a good living In case
they care to go into other homes as
domestics.
The classes will be conducted at
Friendly House" every TUESDAY az
ternoon at o'clock throughout the
summer months, with Miss Wills on
hand not only to teach but to explain
all the little short cuts which make
keeping house a. pleasure and dellgnt
to the competent housewife. That
which has been but necessary
drudgery to women unaccustomed 10
American standards of living will be
so explained that 1t will become a
duty and pleasing obligation.
In connection with this, and work
ing along the same lines, VIII be the
Wednesday afternoon sewing classes,
conducted by Mrs. /. L. Garrison,
Mrs. Ernest Hall and Mrs. Palmer
Of the Methodist Episcopal chureh.
BY them the women are taught 70
make their own clothes and those oil
the family. as well as fancy work,
rugs. artificial flowers, and all the
dainty things which are dear to the
heart of the average woman. In
order to tempt them to further ef-
forts and to arouse real pride In
their work every third article made
is given to the maker for her own
use.
BY these two methods the founda :
ton of Americanism will be laid in
the homes, raising the standards OF
living there where it will do the most
good to the younger generation,
which means the voter OF tomorrow
A happy and contented citizen Is a
good citizen, and that Is what the
women of Phoenix are trying to in
still into the Mexicans who come
under their care in Friendly House

FISHING SEASON
NSTHURSDAY

Arizona sportsmen are awaiting
anxiously the opening of the trout
season on Thursday, June /, and
scores of anglers are now getting
ready to take fishing trips to north
ern Arizona. The streams are well
stocked with trout, according to Joe
v. Prochaska, state game warden,
who recently returned from making
a careful survey of the streams.
The call of the outdoor life is
strong to those who love to fish in
the streams under the pine covered
mountains and numerous parties will
spend their vacation days angling for
trout in both forks of the White riv-
err. Diamond creek, Bogg creek, the
Little and the Big Bonita. the north
and east forks of the Black river,
Coyote creek. Rock creek. Trout
creek, Silver creek and in many 9TH
er streams and lakes in the White
mountain district.
Fishing and camping will be per.
mitted on the Blue game preserve
in Greenlee county this year, thus
throwing open to the sportsmen one
of the finest pleasure resorts in the
state. The brook trout is one of the
most palatarIe of all game fish and
anglers should experience no trou-
BILE in keeping their camp table well
supplied.
Northern Arizona is not the only
place in the state where good trout
fishing abounds. The beautiful rain
bow trout is reported to be very plen-
tiful in the Salt river just below the
Roosevelt dam where the river flows
through deep canyons. According to
reports, rainbow trout from 10 to IL
inches in length are to be found in
these waters.
Roosevelt lake also furnishes the
fishermen with good sport. Anglers
have been getting record catches out
of the lake for the past two months.
Last Sunday Joe O'Conell and party
of four vent out on the lake and re-
turned to the boat docks in two hours
with 80 big mouth black bass.

The Alleged Shortage of Nurses

The Committee finds conditions
in nursing have changed materially
in he three years since the close OF
the war. The census reports show
or the decennial period l9lO-l92O
the surprising increase of SO per
cent in the number of trained reg
istered nurses.
The problem is one of distribu-
ton rather than Of numbers.
"The majority of trained nurses
are concentrated in the larger cities
so that the rural districts in many
states are wholly lacking in service
of this kind. The evidence is that
at present, in the cities, the supply
of trained nurses is adequate for
existing demands in normal times.
The reason that so many persons
who need nursing care in hospitals
and in the homes Of the poor fail to
receive it, is to be fought in econo-
mic factors, rather than in a short
age of nurses"

The Steam Pressure Cooker

It is economy, in canning fruits
and vegetables, to have a home can
ming outfit The steam pressure
cooker and the sealer may be
bought at about $50 apiece and they
can be made to pay for themselves
in a single year by saving the time
needed in canning, making it posi-
bic to save much food which would
otherwise be wasted, and by making
the canning certain Many cans
were lost by the old time methods.
Housewives find, too, that cam
ing in tin cans is more certain than
i'm glass, that the work is more
quickly done and the flavor of the
food better, as the light fades and
deteriorates the food and the seal
ing is not so complete.
Fruits have always been success
fully canned by the ordinary house
wife, but corn, beans, peas, greens.
and other vegetables were uncertain
and many cans have been thrown
out each year from home cellars.
This does not happen when the
steam pressure cooker, and sealar
and tin cans are used. Ask Tor
a Home Demonstration to come in,
to your neighborhocd and give a
demonstration in this kind of can
ming.
incidentally, it may be mentioned
that the steam pressure will cook
more quickly, preserving much of
the favor otherwise lost, such foods
as beans. rice and pot roastS. BY
using the pans, serveral articles
may be cooked at the same time
over one burner and all in about
one third of the time required in
the open kettle.
You see how the saving in the
Sur elements.-time. labor. food
and fuel--will in year pay for the
outfit.

best current practice in nursing ed
ucation, were studied in detail.
Defects were found in both the
practical ward training and in the
class room teaching, Inadequate
laboratory equipment" excessive
night work" inadequate supervls-
ion" of student nurses, and lack OF
an intelligently planned progress
ssive" course of study are among
the points mentioned for criticism.
Most striking of ALL" however, ac-
cording to the Committees report,
was the factor of time wasted IN
procedures essential to the conduct
of the hospital, but of no education
al value to the student concerned.
Hours and days spent on the work
of a ward mad, in putting away
linen, in sterilizing apparatus, in
mendng rubber gloves, in running
errands, long after any important
technique involved had become sec
ond nature, accounted in one typical
hospital where this problem was es-
pecially studied for clear wastage
of between one-fourth and one
fifth of the Students working day.
Improvement of the Hospital Train
ing School
The general conclusion as to the
steps necessary to eliminate the de-
fects found in the present system
of nurses training it stated as fol-
lows: 1t is fundamental to the
success Of nursing education that
adequate funds should be available
for the educational expenses of the
school itself, and for the replace
ment Of student nurses by graduate
nurses and hospital help in the exc
cution of routine duties of a non
educational character. With the
necessary financial support, and un
der a separate board for training
school committee, organized prima
rily for educational purposes, it is
possible, with completion Of a high
school course or its equivalent as a
prerequisite, to reduce the funda-
mental period of hospital training
to twenty-eight months and at the
same time, by eliminating unessen-
tial, non-educatiOnal routine, to or
ganize, the course along intensive
and co-ordinated lines with such
notifications as NAV be necessary
for practical application; courses Of
this standard would be reasonably
certain to attract students Of high
quality in increasing numbers.
BY better organization of the
course of study and the elimination
of excessive routine service it is
proposed to shorten the period Of
training from three years to two
years and four months. AT the
same time educational standards
are to be maintained by requiring
for entrance a high school education

Travelling With Children

The auto is the best conveyance
for travelling with the children.
There is less danger of contagion
and you may stop at will. But some
journeys with the children must
still be on the train; and prepara-
ton will serve 20 make them more
comfortable.
l was astonished once to see a
mother with four little ones board
a train at evening to begin a long
journey. "They will stay awake an
hour or two" she said, "and then lie
down on the seat and sleep at night:
and in the morning we will be there"
can see the wisdom of her reason
ing, but, even so, / should have
preferred the journey by day.
Knowing children and the handi-
caps of trains, one can adjust the
one TO the Other-somewhat. The
children should be well "fed up on
sleep and fresh air, and in the best
of condition at the start. Their
clothing should be comfortable. Do
not put on their new, stiff shoes, nor
white frbelowS. Black Sateen will
save much nagging. Keep them
calm, if you can, for excitement
makes them nervous and interferes
with digestion. Your own serenity
will have an influence. The food
should be very simple and eaten
only at regular intervals. Continual
"piecing," and knick-knacks will up
set anybody.
Travelling once with a small
child, there were only two paStimes
which appealed to her: to stick her
tongue on the window pane, and to
put her hands on the floor. HolTi-
fed by both stunts, | was as bound
to prevent them as she was insist
ent. Substitute occupations would
have relieved the st-a;n for both Of
Us.
1t is very hard for a child to sit
still. Something interesting TO do
will help Cutting out pictures with
blunt scissors. coarse knitting.
books with large print and pictures,
cOlored crayonS. wee dolls with
scraps Of cloth and safety pins for
dresses. folded paper
furniture, spools and string and
mechanical toys. checkers, o.
story or two studied up for the oc-
caSion.-all these will shorten the
journey by many miles of nerve
