Phoenix, Jan. 24-A coat of tar and feathers was administered on last night to Frank Honak, supervisor in charge of East cottage of the Ari- zona state hospital, for running amuck and attacking one of the male nurses and striking woman who sought to separate them.
 Honak, who weighs 265 pounds, after being decorated to the taste of the employees, was led to the gate and told not to return in a hurry.
 It was just at dusk that he was turned loose on the Tempe highway and in his costume of fathers made his way to a store some blocks dis tance. where he was given more con ventional attire. A minister made an additional loan and housed the wanderer until the morning, when the story leaked out.
 Honak, who is an Austrian, came to this state from Oklahoma two months ago. He had numerous pet ty differences with the attendants at the state hospital, over whom he had supervision, but until last even

 From the condition of the body when found the deceased had been dead for four or five days.

DOUGLAS SHELTERS WERE BLOWN IN
 FEBRUARY 1sT

Both the Copper Queen and Calu- met & Arizona smelters at Douglas were blown in on the morning of February l.
 Three blast furnaces were fired up first and will be continued in service until such time as the brick stack at the plant is in readiness for service, when the ores will be smelted in the reverberatory furnaces. practically the only one in use when the shut down occurred at Douglas last April.
 MT Dowell, General Manager of the Copper Queen. announced that this would be a very small beginning for his company, and even at this rate of production it would be neces- sary to exercise the most rigid eco nomy in order to leave any profit on the proposed production.
 w. H. Webster of the Copper Queen said Wednesday morning that he eX- pected that the Queen plant would turn out about five million pounds of copper during February while Super intendent Harry Clark puts the Feb ruary output for the c. & A. company at three and a quarter million pounds
 There is d misapprehension about the wage scale now being paid, it having been reported that there had been recent cut in the pay of the men. According to MT Webster wages at both smelters are on the same basis as. they were fixed on May I, 1921, soon after the shutdown at the smelters.
 The resumption of copper produc- tion in Douglas will mean employ ment of many men who have been in a state of enforced likeness since the middle of last April. Wednesday was a day of rejoicing there, as it will mark the early return of normal business conditions in Douglas: ..-
 According to General Manager Dowell the required force at the Copper Queen in the operation of three blast furnaces will be between four and five hundred men; at the present the force has reached near 250 men, who have been called for repair work during the last month,
 It is believed that practically all the help required for starting the Douglas SmelterS in the small way contemplated will be found in Doug las; many of the former employees of the shelter plants have remained in Douglas since the shut down last spring, not desiring to seek new homes or employment elsewhere some who went away for visits ol temporary employment have been called back recently and their arriva has been an indication of the early resumption of copper production here

 An interesting fact in connection with the movement to keep Arizona printing at home is that another fam fly is brought into the State by every $3,500.O0 additional printing done in Arizona. The printing sent outside the state would mean employmen m Arizona shops to about 25o work men.
 Most of the large mining companies operating in the State have most of their printing done in Arizona. and not few give all their work to home shops. The Industrial Congress is urging not only the mines but all business concerns to keep their print ing at home, and the response has been encouraging. Indications are that this year will see the amount of printing sent outside the state greatly reduced
