Industrial Congress Has No Connection With
 Wilkinson Bill

The constitutional amendment proposed by the Arizona Industrial Congress to allow the state to issue bonds up to the amount of four per cent of the totalJ assessed valuation of all property in the state has no connection with the amendment in itiated to provide for a paved road from Phoenix to Ehrenberg to be built by state bond issue of $2,500,- 900, it is emphasized in a statement issued by the Industrial Congress. The statement follows:
 There appears to be a belief in some quarters that the constitutional amendment in regard to bonded in debtedness proposed by the Arizona Industrial Congress has some con- nection with the constitutional amenment initiated through the eff forts of Senator H. B. Wilkinson, providing for the building of a paved road from Phoenix to the Colorado River, by state bond issue of $2,- 5OO.OOO.
 There is no connection between these two amendments. The amend ment proposed by the Arizona In dustrial Congress was passed by the legislature and will be referred to the people at the special election to be held at the primaries September 12, when it will appear on the ballots as Mo-, 100. The Wilkinson amend ment was initiated after the legis- lature adjourned, and will not be submitted to the people until the general election, November T.
 "The passage or defeat of the bonded indebtedness amendm ent will have absolutely no effect on the Wilkinson amendment to be voted on.. two months later. There is no connection between the measures. and each is independent of the other"

HEART ON RIGHT; LIVER
 ON LEFT AND HAS 25 RIBS

Because of the fact that his inter nal organs were found to be mis. placed to an unusual degree, an In. dian patient at the United States Indian School sanitarium at Phoenix caused quite furry in that institu- tion a few days ago. According to pr. A. J. Wheeler, physician at the sanltarium, it was discovered that the indians heart was not where it should be but was on the right in- stead of the left side
 An X-ray examination was made and it was found that the heart was on the right side, the liver on the left side and the stomach on the right side. Although an ordinary person is provided with "A ribs, i2 on each side, the Indian has 9 ribs. One rib was found to be split into two. ribs, making 13 ribs on one side, in addition to his other anatomical peculiarities.
 The Indian was about 34 years old and the discovery of these strange misplacements was made when they were making an examination for tu- bercular symptoms.
 The" Indian was taken to the san itarium for treatment for tuberculo- sis" said Dr. Wheeler. "and the in ternal condition of the man was not especially the cause of his being tu- bercular. The Indian appears per fectly normal otherwise There are only. 26 other cases of this kind re- ported in medical literature
 The Indian since has been sent to his home in Oklahoma

 TROUBLE ON HISLINE

According to A. F. Sweet. vice president and general manager of the E. r. $. w. systems. who was in Douglas from his headquarters in Fl Paso, the E. P & s. w. railroad is running smoothly in every way at present. and no trouble is expected in regard to strikes and walkouts.
 MT. Sweet stated that the critical situation on other roads have had no disturbing effect on the E. P. & S w. He says that the shopmen and eua- ployes are working and seem satis- fled, however. the same number of men who were employed before the strike are not being employed now. This is because business has de creased
 In regard to the rumor that has been started here to the effect that the Southern Pacific has purchased an option on the Courtland branch and the Nacozari railroad. MT. Sweet stated that no foundation exists for such rumor The property is not subject to sale
 According to MT. Sweet the fair buildings on the property by the E- P. s. w. railroad will be allowed to remain until after the county fair. held in October, after which they will be removed. In the opinion of the officials, the present fair grounds will be of greater use in the future as industrial sites. for the expansion of the city.

I'VE SEEN 4 REAL
 POWER S|TE' SAYS AON. CARL HAYDEN

PEACH SPRINGS, Ariz, Aug. B. ''I have seen a real power site,'' said Congressman Carl Hayden on his return from the Colorado river today 1.-The narrowness of the canyon, the short depth to bedrock, the solid granite abutments and the proximi- ty to railroad transportation all combine to make it certain that the Diamond creek site will be used for the creation of hydro-eiectric energy I am pleased to have had the oppor- &unity to see this natural resource the development or which means so much to the state of Arizona. I have not heard of any part of the United States that had too much cheap pow er and I am confident that a survey of the situation will demonstrate that an ample market will be found for all of the electric current that can be generated at Diamond creek and at any other dam which may be constructed by the federal govern ment on the lower Colorado river.
 
 Mir. Hayden's trip from Peach Springs to the Colorado river at tho mouth of Diamond creek and return was easily. accomplished in one day although the difference in altitude between the two places is 3,4OO feet The Arizona congressman was ac- companied by James B. Grand, of Phoenix, whoShas been at work on She development of this project for she past ten years and who has ap- piled to the federal power commits sion for a license to build the Dia- 1nond creek power plant If Mrs Girand's application is granted, he will obtain 50-year lease of this power site at the end of which the government may take over the pow ger plant and appurtenances by pay Ing for the fair value of the improve ments

 MT. Girand has completed all of Ghe engineering work, has satisfied the federal power commission that the project is feasible and that he has the financial backing necessary to carry it out. The dam in the Colorado river is to be 200 feet high and will produce 100000 Horsepower.

CAMERA TO RECORD WINNER
Method of Timing Race Is Declared
to Be Beyond All Possibility
of Error.

The moving-picture camera is to be
put to a new use; it is to time exactly
the runners in race.
When two competitors come in very
close together it is extremely difficult
for the umpire to say which was first
and often two men are so near that
the result is declared dead-heat.
In all cases probably one of the men
is fraction in front of the other, but
the eye is unable to note such minute
differences.
Now a clock is to be erected at the
winning post, and as the winners come
in they will be photographed with a
kinema-camera, which will time their
arrival to the hundredth part of a sec
Ond. If the winner breaks the tape
only one eighth of an inch in front
of his nearest competitor the camera
will note the fact.
The camera will be focused stimuli
taneOusly on the clock at the winning
post and on a mirror rejecting the
start of the race. Both clock and
camera will be set working before the
starter fires his pistol, and the flash
of the pistol will be reflected in the
mirror and recorded on the film with
the time of tho clock to hundredth
of q second
This time can then be subtracted
from the time of the tinish and the
exact time of the race for each man
arrived at.
There will now be very few dead
heats in running matches.

WOMEN IN VARIOUS TRADES
Fair Sex Has Travelled Far From
What Was Considered Proper in
the Victorian Era.

There are today in New York state
7S9 women in the building trades in
GLIDING women carpenters, electricians,
house painters, glaciers, paper hang
ers, plasterers, plumbers, and even
stone cutters. There are also women
working as common laborers for the
railroads.
We have had factory workers, to be
sure, for long years, but in the past
they have been chiefly employed as
seni-skiIled operators in clothing, tex
tile and similar industries. Today,
New York state boasts 2,610 in lum-
Der and furniture work; 6,302 doing
semi-skilled tasks in steel and iron
and 3,217 working among the other
metals; while 1,107 work in clay, stone
or glass. The combined list OF mill
workers and skilled operators runs
considerably more than 100000 for the
state.
Such tasks are not so anti-Victorlan
as quarrying, mining, stevedoring, OF
course, in which women are also en-
gagged, but they are still far cry from
the kitchen stove, the parlor dust
cloth and the nursery.-Florence-Guy

IMPORT BEADS BY BILLIONS
Demand for Those Ornaments by the
Women of the United States
Seems Unsuitable.

Ballots and beads must belong to-
gether in the mind of the modern Wom-
an. At any rate, ten strings Of beads
are worn today when one was worn
before the war and before the vote.
Beads by the billions are being Inn
ported. This years record promises
to run far ahead of last years, and
last years record was worth a glance.
To make any comment upon the adj
vanced and emancipated woman's In
terest In the ornament that is usually
set down as a South sea savage's no.
ton of an all-but-complete costume Is
quite unnecessary. The figures speak
FOR themselves.
From central Europe, from France,
from the shores of the entire Mediter-
ranean, from all Judea, from the three
great countries of the Far East, the
making of beads for the United States
is a big business, declares New York
Sun writer Not satisfied with the
quantity that can be turned out with
everybody working at the job of dec
Grating the dresses ana the mats anu
the shoes of millions of American wom-
en-, the demand for something differ
ent has made the best dealers set the
very South sea savage to scraping up
the seashells from the shores of lonely
isles that are all but lost on any
average map.
To the national bill for tire ma
terials could be added the cost OF all
imported cigarettes and then the total
would be $35,O0O,O00 short of meeting
the total outlay for feminine orna-
ments. In spite of the increase IN
the amount of coffee imported, the cup
that cheers America at breakfast time
costs far less than the beads that
women wear. About $G6,OOOOOO less.
The comedy continues throughout the
whole list of life's lesser luXuries.

Locomotive From Scrap Iron.

Working for eleven years, with file
as his only tool, man in Buenos
Ayres has made a miniature locomo-
tive of scrap iron. The locomotive
can be operated under its own power
by the use of compressed air. The
iron was not heated in the making, but
was worked cold. A small coal tender
and passenger coach were made at the
same time and the whole thing is a
little more than six feet in length and
weighs 10 pounds. More than 1900
screws and 1900 rivets were used in
the work. The train is complete to
the last tiny detail and is built on the
model of the equipment used on the
British railroads of that country.

PERSECUTION OF NO AVAIL
oldtlmer Tells of Efforts to Exterml-
nate Sparrows. Which Were
Worse Than Useless.

Watching an elderly man scattering
cracked corn to City Hall park spar
rows the other day stirred reminis-
cent vein in one Of the bench occu-
pants.
"They treat sparrows differently
than they did twenty-five years ago.
he said. "Guess they discovered they
couldn't get rid of them and decided
to make them comfortable.
"A quarter Of century ago many
communities made determined efforts
to kill off sparrows. State and county
authorities offered bounties of one
cent head for the birds. Boys made
considerable pocket money shooting
the creatures and in places men made
a business of trapping them. They'd
spread great nets over the roofs of
barns and then rout the birds from
their rOoStS.
"But it was no use. Organized war
fare on the birds made inroads only
in the county treasures and the
bounty was declared off. Now they
feed the sparrows. Times sure do
change."-New York Sun.

Chewing Gum Gave Him Away.

to which one of several charmers he
was paying attention.
One morning she found a COB of
gum that he had been chewing the
night before when he returned home
late. In the lump of gum was the
fatal red hair. She caused watch
to be placed on the woman who had
locks to match the hair she found
and discovered that her husband was
a frequent visitor at the red-heads
apartment and got a divorce in rec
ord time. Talk about your detective

CHINA'S WALL is CRUMBLING
Wonderful Structure, Built 200 3. c.,
Believed, However, to Be Good
for Many Centuries.

Recent visitors to the great wall Of
China, which is accessible at Nankow,
forty miles from Picking, describe it as
slowly crumbling. Many of the tur-
rets which command its salient points
as the wall climbs over the mountain
tops are in ruins and tourists and ma
tives alike wrench the stone blocks
from the superstructure to throw into
the valleys below. Yet it is maintained
that the great structure, extending
from Shanhaikuan on the sea almost
to the borders of Tibet, has many CEN
turtles to live, although no efforts are
made to preserve it.
Construction of the wall was be-
gun 200 B. G. by Emperor Chih Huang-
tt, a contemporary of Hannibal, who
conceived this barrier to keep out the
Tartars. At one time 100000 Grim
inals and prisoners of war were en-
gagged In the work. The main part of
the wall, however, was not undertaken
until the Seventh century, when, it is
said, 100000 workers were employed.

to the golf links of the Coatesyille
County club, in Coatesville, Pa. Along
the sides of the course underbrush has
been permitted to grow thick, and
tempting rock piles with full southern
exposures have been placed to lure
the snakes from adjacent lands. An
educational campaign has been inaug-
urated among golfers with an aversion
to reptiles in order that there may
be no repetition of the deaths by VIC
lence which came to two of the Or
ganization's pets. Champions of the
blacksnake declare that it is the most
efficient natural enemy Of the ground
mole, which admittedly is the natural
enemy of golf green's. Not only does
the snake go right into the mole's bor-
ings and discourage that animals oper-

Oil From Palm Tree.

Cohune nut oil, which is obtained
from the fruit of a variety of palm
tree that grows in Central and South
America, has been examined by the
Department of Agriculture. 1t re-
sembles coconut oil and can replace it
for many purposes. The supply OF
these nuts is almost unlimited and
several firms are now attempting to
establish the manufacture of the oil on
a commercial basis.
Although during the war there was
scarcity of fats and oils in some
countries, it seems that there are plen-
ty of sources from which to obtain
them in this country and many other
parts of the world.

Seeds as Source Of Wealth.

Although there are a number Of pro-
ductive sources of vegetable oils used
in the arts and in the manufacture of
food products, investigations by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture indicate that valuable edible oils
may be obtained in paying quantities
from waste products and from seeds,
such as the sunflower, not yet grown
to any great extent in this country.
At the present time the principal
sources of vegetable oils are fiaxseed,
cottonseed, soy beans, corn germs,
peanuts, palm, rape seed, tungnuts,
mustard seed, sesame, castor beans
and olives.
