Miss Young would have been at the U. D. c. convention, for she is one of the staunchest, loyalest of the daughters, being member of the James D. Webb chapter in her home town, as well as one of the most active.
 And there she was; just as non chalant, just as modest, just as re- served as though her name didn't carry with it the badge of honor from Alabama for some of the best work ever done in dialect.
 I'm browsing about during the convention" Miss Young said lin search of material for my second volume of Minute Dramas" :.
 ou never can tell when you will pick up something "a tale about one of our great southern heroes; a word about some marvellous woman during the war-an Emmett San som, whom Trotwood Moore has i'm mortalized in verse and song, oi some heretofore t unknown act which would mean the foundation of story.
 Tn fact, am now gatheflne what I regard as the very last folk lore tales of Alabama, of the old, fashioned southern negroes, the ole days of the. Confederacy, the very last.
 q am a charter member of the James D. Webb chapter U. D. c. m Greensboro" Miss Young said with smile. T don't mind admitting my age, certainly not.
 And then We fell to talking about her "Minute Dramas" and had 9 good laugh over At the Baptizln',' "The Prayer of the Weather Wise Parson, ' Babes Marriage, Mig ger and thesC Corn Pone" and Uncle Isham's Way to Cook q 'PossumN and many other of her. verses.

a notable figure during the U. D. c. convention,
 Beauvoir, the home of this chap ter, organized exclusively of Mothers of the Confectionery, " holds the unique record of the 34 states now covered in America by the U. D. C., as well as chapters in France of being alone in it's per sonnel' exclusively made up of mothers"
 There are mothers and daughters and sisters and cousins and aunts, composing all the other chapters, but the Varina Jefferson Davis chapter at Beauvoir, 4s the only chapter in which mothers only" are registered.
 q wish everybody would come to Beauvoir and see the happy peo- pie in that beautiful, time-honored, historic home of Jefferson Davis, " said little Mrs. Kelly. "There isn't woman in the chapter under 69, and the oldest answers the roll call at 90 years of age"

 Distinguished Visitor Coming
 The League of Women Voters can always be depended upon to stage something interesting, and next week the league will be host to Miss Gertrude Vail, vice president of the National Welfare Workers association.
 Miss Vail, at the headquarters of the League of Women Voters, will speak of the work accomplished in her line, and which she is thorough ly capable of doing, since her life work has been study complete and comprehensive along these channels.
 And, by the way, it was the League of Women Voters with the Federation of Women's Clubs which was responsible for the recent "sur- vey" that was made in Alabama of women in industry"
 "To Have and To Hold"
 Birmingham-al of it-both those who knew her during her girl hood days and those who know, her only by her books, must have been very proud as they sat before the picture of Mary Johnston's "To Have and To Hold" the past week.
 This mere slip of girl, who used to live round on Seventh avenue, north, in the big, old Johnston bome,n was just like all of us! "Eyen as you and I" she went to school and learned her lessons, only she learned hers better than the rest of us, and her crown of success has been many of the "best sellers of the day! What an amusing line that was in the picture when Captain Percy said to Sparrow" about Lady Jocelyn Leigh: p- charms?" . :,
 "Yes. master" said he, "and II she could but cook she would be per feet" ,.
 How like a man; and how like Mary Johnston to know just what a man would say when his stomach was empty and his appetite rapa- cious on that desert Island!
 By the way, did you ever hear the ] story of the "Nouveau Riche, wno wenf into the book store during the "hoom days" of "To Have and To | Hold" and said to the salesman: :,
 q want to get that new DOCK | everybody's talking about, of Mary .Johnstor's, let's see, what's the name? Oh, yes, To Git and TO
 Who says 'money doesn't talk!'' (scandalously, sometimes).

 A little girl was just learning a bit about the saints, in picture form, with the halos about them.

FLORENCE CR|1TEND0N MISSION WORKER
 SPEAKS HERE MON.

The people of Kingman will probab- ly remember the visit of Mrs. L. c. Thompson of the Florence Mission" last year. Mrs. Thompson is here now and will speak Monday afternoon in the Odd Fellows Hall at 800 oclck. All the ladies of Kingman are cordial ly invited to attend. Several topics of vital importance will be discussed.
 The work which the Florence Crit tenton Mission" is doing is for the betterment of the youth of this conl- munity as we'll as the youth of the state. It has been extended over the entire State of Arizona.
 Not only is the unfortunate girl and her so called fatherless child pro vided for at this home, but is the only medium through which we, as women can forward the justice which is due every unfortunate, nameless child.
 When statistics show that 10000 nameless children were born in the Unied States during the last year, 1t is evident that something must be done by the thinking women of this country. The meeting on Monday af- ternoon will be a means for discuss ing the problem and probable meth ods of checking the growth in num- bers of these hapless children.
 Mrs. Thompson will speak to the Womens Club, The Pythian Sisters, the K of P. and reach many other people in their own groups as is possible. This work needs your as- sistance and Mrs. Thompson asks for the support of Kingrnan's citizens.

CONVICTS REVOLT
 IN N. J. PRISON
City Police and State Troopers
 Called in to Aid Guards

Trenton, N. J., Aug. 22.-Six hun. dred convicts at the state prison re. volted last night during the exercise
 hour, refusing to go To their cells, but after a tense fifteen minutes fifty deputies, thirty state troopers and thirty city policemen surrounded the convicts and forced them at the point of revolvers to 50 back to the cells. Once there, however, they began shouting and scraming, creating so much disturbance that a. crowd of several thousand gathered outside the walls.
 The trouble began when the pris- oners complained about their food. They declared portions of peaches and cream they got for desert were too small. Sunday night each man received half peach, and that night when locked in their cells they banged on the bars with their tin cups and broke, electric lights. The uproar lasted well into Monday morning
 Joseph s. Hoff. principal keeper, saw last night in the exercise hour that the men were disgruntled and ugly, so he sent hurry call for city policemen and state troopers. At the end of the exercise period the con- victs refused to march to their cells, and Hoff called in the troopers and the patrolmen. James F. Kersey, as- sistant keeper, told the convicts they would get into serious trouble if they persisted in the revolt. and fifty of the men broke away and started to- ward their cells.
 These men were stoned by their companions, but a few minutes later another group broke away to the cell blocks. From then on small detach- ments left every few minutes until the whole six hundred had gone to their cells and been locked in for the night.
 The prison authorities asked the state troopers and the city police to post special guard outside the pris- on walls last night to prevent an out break or jail delivery. At midnight 1t was said the worst had begun to subside.

MEASURE HEAT OF STARS
10000 Degrees Ccntigradc Is Finding
 of Smithsonian Observers

Washington, Aug. 22.-The heat of three stars-Aldebara Capella and Betegeuse-has been measured by two officials of the Smithsonian h. stitution who have been making ob- servatons at the Carnegie Solar ob- servatory on the summit of Mount Wilson, Cal. R. c. Abbott and l.. B. Aldrich reported today that they had succeeded in doing what had hereto fore never been dore.
 The heat of the three stars first was brought to fosus by the giant 1o0-inch telescope. The heat and light then was passed through a prism and spread out into rain bow colored spectrum. Delicate de- vices measured the light in each color as we'll as the invisible heat
 As the hotter body is the whiter and buer is its light, the intensities of the heat in the various colors allowed an estimate of the tempera- ture of the stars which was fixed at approximately 10000 degrees centigrade.
