.SALE CONF |RMED,
 SHELTER PLANS ARE ANNOUNCED
From Thursdays Daily,

With final confirmation of sale to the Southwest Metals company of the assets of the Consolidated Ari- zona Smelling company, the atnos- phere df depression around Humboldt has cleared. For the past two or three weeks, following statement of an internal revenue claim against the property for over S6OO,OO0, resunp- ton of smelting at Humboldt and the consequent advance toward mining Inormalcy around Prescott has been Uncertain.
 Now that the recent sale of the property to the Southwest Metals has been confirmed, George NJ. Colvo- coresses, general manager, announced yesterday, 1t is planned to blow in at least one furnace by June l; This announcement confirms the resump- ton policy outlined by Col. R. NJ. Thompson at the time the Humboldt sale was effected. Small silver and gold properties in the surrounding district are preparing to be ready to take cut ore as soon as the call for a supply, goes out from Humboldt.
 The Blue Bell and De Soto mines of the company in the Humboldt dis trict, and the Swansea in Yuma, will be put on a production basis as soon as possible The two local mines are being unwatered and other re- pairs are being made The small crew now working at the Swansea will be increased very soon.
 Confirmation of the sale was hnade in an order issued by Federal Judge William C. Van Fleet, of San Fran cisco, sitting at Tucson Tuesday for Judge William H. Sawtelle, and was effected through compromise agree ment reached out of court by attor- ncys for the receivers of the shelter, the purchasers and the federal gov ernment. It is understood that the internal revenue tax claim of $640,000 was reduced to $25,OOO and that this was paid in cash by the purchasers. The sale, which was conducted here recently by Joe Dillon, appointed special master for that purpose, was made to John C. McNeil, of the Southwest Metals company, for Sl,- OOO,OOO.

young Americans, not in haphazard fashion,
but so as to fit each individual for the place
he can fill most capably. The conference
which has begun in Washington between
war department chiefs and the representa-
tives of schools and colleges should result in
a program which will~reduce illiteracy and
physical disability. Secretary Weeks states
that so per cent of the young men examined
for war service were subnormal physically,
and that there was high percentage of illit-
eracy. The SOUTH in particular, made bad
showing.
The fact that it was necessary to give
training to about 1850, 900 men to meet the
army's requirements for technical skill in
dcates that there is something wrong with
our system of education. General Lassiter
says only one-third of the drafted men who
claimed to be skilled workers were compe-
tent to be rated as journeymen. In coun-
try like America, where there is already a
tremendous demand for technically trained
workers and the need for them is increasing
every month, it is apparent that unless that
demand is met more adequately than it has
been in the past, there will be decrease IN,
national efficiency and lower standard of
American citizenship.
What is needed is a definite plan for physi-
cal and mental training that will insure a
vigorous American manhood and will equip
young men for those occupations in life they
are most competent to fill. That is good
form of national preparedness for both peace
and war;

COLONEL M'CoRVEY RETIRES

After serving the University of Alabama
for nearly 80 years, Col. Thomas G. McCor-
:vey has submitted his resignation, to take eff
feet July /, 1928. Increasing age has no
doubt caused Colonel McCorvey's retirement
from the university faculty, of which he has
been an exceptionally able and conscientious
member. Thousands Of men and women
have profited by his instruction in the chair
of history and love him for his amiabe quail
titles of heart as much as they admire his
brilliancy of intellect. Colonel "Mac," as he
lis affectionately called, has been one of
the most popular as well as one Of the most
useful members of the faculty.
Colonel McCorvey combines with pro-
found knowledge Of history marked literary
talents. He has been a prolific writer Of
prose articles and is also poet Of distinc-
ton. Some of his poems inspired by events
IN Alabama history are valuable contribu-
tions to literature. Colonel McCorvey is II
years old, but he is blessed with robust
constitution and his friends trust that he will
be spared for many more years and in the
leisure he has SO richly earned will continue
his literary work.

THE WONDER CHILD

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
A 15-year-old Missouri girl, Marion Tai
ley, has shown the most critical jury New
York could assemble that she knows how
to sing.
Every year hundreds of young people,
hopeful and enthusiastic, descend on the city
with the idea of compelling it to acknowledge
their genius and do homage at once to their
phenomenal precoeity. They pay fat fee
to a manager, they hire halHand circulate
literature extensively, they resort to every
artifice to create a curiosity to hear them,
and they do everything except what they
profess to do. The actual performance dis
and passes. They have been heard and
weighed in the pitiless critical balances and
found wanting. Babylon goes on about It's
worldly business, and, as a rule, they are
heard of no more.
So that the magnates of music, with the
destinies of aspirants in thair hands and
their pocketbooks, have become weary and

admit the fact.
This time it seems, the verdict of Kansas
City was ratified by the sophisticated east
ern metropolis. Kansas City believed in the
girl who carried its colors flying into the
contest of child against that bored and
learned court of last resort. At public
benefit under the mayors auspices Kansas
City has raised $40 900 for hce musical train

Think of the ordeal. Then you will share

good to know that the wonder child is not
to be touted, exploited and spoiled immedi-
ately. The Metropolitan management sedu-

they believe, the world will rise to acclaim,
their vocal treasure-trove and to say of her
what they are saying now.

CLEMENCEAU IN AMERICA

From Our World.
Georges Clemenceau, the old war premier
and "Tiger of France" who is coming to
AMERICA to plead the cause of his country
began the career journalist. which led
to his public life, in the United States. Ru-
fps R. Wilson tells the story of Clemenceau's
early days in this country as follows:
1.-The evening before his departure from
France he asked an American friend, the ar
fist William E. Marshall, to give him a few
letters of introduction. Marshall followed
Clemenceau to New York, and soon the two
were sharing modest quarters in Twelfth
street, west-the same by an odd coincidence
that 80 years earlier had sheltered Napol-

"Clemenceau," he once said, sis in all
ways a most unusual man. When l knew
him he never wasted a moment, but par
celed out his time so that he could devote so
many hours to his profession, SO many to
books, and so many to writing and the study
of our political and social institutions. He
wrote essays and speeches on all sorts of
subjects; did occasional work for the
Tribune, whose editor, Horace Greeley, was
prompt to lend him helping hand, and reg
ularly sent letters to the Paris newspapers.
His favorite author was John Stuart Mill,

and inquiring interest in all our institutions;

A BUSINESS CHANCELLOR

Wilhelm Cuno, who has been commissioned
by President Ebert to form a new German
cabinet, Is business man rather than poll
tician. That may prove to be great adj
vantage. There is too much politics in Ger
many and everywhere else in Europe. Hugo
SHINES once said that IL business men would
undertake to solve the Preparations problem
and eliminate all the politicians an agree
ment could soon be reached. Cuno is direc-
tor general Of large German steamship line,
and is one of the magnates of Germany. That
type of man is needed to work out national
reconstruction and put Germany on a sound,
economic basis. The fact that he has no
party affiliations should help him in recon-
Cling warning factions in the Reichstag and
persuade them to unite for the common good
of the country. Regard for the national
welfare should come first and politics should
be secondary consideration. 1t appears
that the reverse has been true. Chancellor
Wirth was unable to cope with the situation
brought about by the war and made worse
Nv party dissension.
An old friend and supporter of President
Ebert, Cuno is expected to work along nom
partisan lines, and the reception given 10
him in Reichstag circles augurs well for his
success in organizing a strong cabinet which
the German people will support. Germanys
troubles are almost entirely economic.
Cuno's ability as business man and finan-
cier should enable him to deal with these
problems in practical way that will hasten
Germanys economic recovery.
