PHOENIX TITLE AND
TRUST CO. REPORTS
BUSINESS INCREASE

With the volume OF their business
picking up and their balance sheets
showing nice increase over the
previous month, it is the prediction
or the officers of the Phoenix Title
& Trust company that their business
will soon be that of normal times.
This company, which is an Arizona
corporation carrying on it's business
wholly within the state and the
greater portion of it entirely within
the confines of Maricopa county, is
the largest company of its kind in the
Southwest outside of Los Angeles.
The company is the pioneer of title
insurance in the state, and was the
first to operate this class of insur-
ance in connection with the title and
abstract business.
The present organization of the
company was formed in 1910 with
the consolidation of several small
companies by the Phoenix Guaranty
& Title company. 1t was first cap
italZed at 100000, but later this
was increased to s150,000.
When the company organized in
1910 its pay roll consisted of six en-
ployes. AS the business grew more
were added and at present its en-
ployes number about 25. During the
boom times in Phoenix and the valley
three or four years ago this company
was forced to employ more than 20
people to take care of the large vol
ume OF business passing through its
hands With the fall of the boom its
payroll dropped to the present num-
ber.
Aside from issuing titles and alb
stracts, the company also carries on
a title insurance business and trust
and escrow business. The title 'insur-
ance business was started by the
company about II years ago and was
the first title insurance to be car
ried in the state. Since this feature
of the company was added the title
insurance business has increased rap
idly and has become an established
branch of the business.
The company was first organized
in 1910 as a title and abstract COM
pany but about 10 years ago a trust
department and an escrow depart
ment We're added to the organization
and have been maintained ever since.
These departments since their es-
tablishment have grown steadily and
have become very closely identified
with the title and abstract business.
The officers of the company are
as follows: H. B. Wilkinson, presi-
dent; John bennett, Jr., vice presi-
dent; L. w. Coggins. vice president;
o. II. Clark, vice president and gem
eral manager; r. NJ. Smith, secre-
tary; +. L. Allen, treasurer: l.. j. |
Taylor, trust officer, and L. S. Stall |
cup, title officer.
The office of the firm is located |
al 130 West Adams street.

their loss. They go out, especially nights,
and hunt light and bright things, and
cheerful people. Women sit in darkened
rooms and nurse their Sorrows and haunt
the places where their hearts are buried.
Men seldom speak of their troubles. A
woman with a sorrow, seldom speaks of
ANYTHING else and broken heart that one
could exhibit to her friends is treasured
as if it was a wedding ring that was
worn by her great grandmother. And
real free weeper takes as much pride in
the possession of her tear ducts as she
would in having prima donna voice.
But among the many changes that
woman suffrage has brought about, women
have at last come unto her own. For the
first time in their lives they have per-
ceived that cheerfulness is the unflinching
courage that refuses to surrender to mis-
fortune, or the bursting bombs of storm
ing man. Therefore, they are facing the
mighty task that is before them, and are
bringing up their husbands with smile.

STRENGTH OF A MANS JAW

In the jaw of human being there is
strength infinitely greater than most per-
sons dream of.
When an acrobat suspends his body by
merely gripping with his teeth leather
tab attached to little wheel running on
wire and swings into space, sailing down
from the top of a circus tent, for instance,
he is doing something snowy rather than
difficult something that probably any spec
tator of normal development could do
with ease if his teeth were reasonably
sound.
Experiments made by dental authorities
indicate that the average "bite" OF men
is equal to power of III pounds, that
being the pressure developed between the
molars. Quite number of the subjects
tested developed the full power of the in
strument used, ITS pounds, and apparently
had force to spare. Among women, the
highest record reached was 100 pounds
with an average of only about 103 pounds.
The gripping force of a strong mans hands
is Insignificant when compared to his jaw
strength.
As jaw strength is important only in con-
nection with the matter of chewing food,
it is of interest to note the force required
to crush or grind various articles of food,
particularly meats; and tests to determine
these forces have also been made.
Boiled tongue is the tenderest of all
meats and the central portion of the ton
que offers a resistance of only three to five
pounds, the balance requiring a crushing
force of from fifteen to twenty pounds.
Loin pork chops can be crushed with
pressure of from twenty to twenty-five
pounds, while mutton chops require a
force of thirty to forty pounds. Beef,
round, will usually yield to a pressure of
from forty to fifty pounds, and steak, well
done, but rather tough, will require sixty
to eighty pounds force in the chewing.
There are no foods suitable for human
consumption that require for their chew
ing anything like the maximum force OF
the average jaw. When the great strength
of the Jaw is considered, the unwisdom OF
biting upon very hard objects, cracking
nuts and the like, is obvious; without con-
scious effort force could be exerted
which might cause serious injury to the
teeth, for the teeth of the human animal
unlike those of the dog, for example, are
not strong in proper proportion to the
force behind them; in other words, oul
chewing machinery is decidedly over
powered.-Ex.

ability and his characterization of the part
was in perfect accord with what we men,
tally visualize as poet.
Mr.. p, as a policeman, walked his beat
and filled the part in typical oftlcial
manner. However, there was one thing
that stood out in very prominent way
and that was that he made no effort to
conceal the fact that he had price. We
have often wondered what the initials F.
T. stood for, but we now think they stand
for his price, How about it? Is that
fifty thousand, F. t.?
The Hawaiian melodies by Mr.. 6. A.
Mel. were beautifully rendered. Mr..
Mel. is an Hawaiian and only an
Hawaiian is capable of producing such
wonderful harmony from stringed in
strument. The melodies rendered carried
us, mentally, back to those beautiful isles
where we have passed many happy hours.
While Mr.. McL's number was the last
one on the program we were given an ad-
-ditional treat by little Miss Zola Bohn,
who sang a number of songs. She
was accompanied by her mother Little
Miss Zoa is very well known here, as
she has on numerous occasions come over
from St. Paul and sang for u.s. Every
time we hear her we cannot but note the
beauty of her voice and we venture the
assertion that some day she will be heard
of and that that day is not very far dis
tant.
In a very brief way we have endea-
vored to give an outline of what our en-
tertainment consisted of. The remarkable
display of talent exhibited by all, taking
part in the performance, must be exceed
ingly gratifying to the management OF
this institution and especially so to Deputy
Warden L. F. Utecht and Capt. ]. A.
RYAN, who were unceasing in their efforts
to make the entertainment the great sue
cess that it proved to be. In this connec-
tion we must not neglect to give MIR. R. j.
Reichkitzer, musical director credit for the
wonderful musical organization he has
succeeded in building up, an organization
second to none, and to the members OF the
orchestra for their splendid rendition OF
the musical numbers on the program.
Taking it all in all, the entire program
was one that would have done credit to
professional artists of the highest class.
