RED CROSS MET TEST
IN JAPAN FUND DRIVE
Spirit of Service Demonstrated
in Readiness for Nation
wide Activity.

When President Coolidge by procla.
nation designated the American Red
Cross as the medium through which
contributions for relief of the Japan
ese earthquake sufferers should flow,
the Presidents desire came as an or
der to the Red Cross. Immediately
the entire machinery of the organiza-
ton was put in motion and within "a
hours the fund campaign was moving
with vigor in every part of the coun-
try.
This emergency test demonstrated
the peacetime readiness of the Red
Cross to cope with stupendous tasks
in behalf of humanity. Within a
month it had collected upwards Of
$10,250 900 in contributions, landed
ten cargoes of supplies at Japanese
ports and was keeping pace with re-
gle dollar of the fund being spent for
administration.
President Coolidge, in expressing
his thanks to the people, said: when
the news of the tragedy in Japan first
reached us, the American Red Cross,
pursuant to a proclamation, asked the
country for $5,OOO,OOO to meet the
great emergency. The answer to this
appeal was prompt and generous; in
less than two weeks a sum far in ex-
cess of the original goal was given"
The work of the Red Cross for
Japan is expected to influence a very
large enrolment of new recruits dur
ing the Roll Call, which starts Armis-
tice Day.

IRRIGATED FARMS

Irrigated farm tracts, purchased by
the state of Arizona, are now avail
able to eX-service men, according to
Firman E. Stewart, state commander
of the Disabled American veterans,
and who has just received a number
of application blanks and full infor-
nation as to the means of applying
for a farm.
With the land goes a home and
other improvements that will help
the former soldiers to get a start
The buying of land by tFo state for
ex-service men is only an experiment
If the venture proves successful
other tracts will be made available
and the project will continue on a
large scale. The state, according tC
the information in the hands of the
commander, has purchased tracts o1
800 acres Of irrigated land 70 miles
out of Phoenix, another half section
close to Yuma, and $40 acres il
Graham county The 800 acres are
to be sub divided into 20-acre plots
and the Graham county land into 40
acre sections.
The cost of the land at Phoeni1
and Yuma to ex-service men will bt
approximately 5000 an acre, while
the Graham county land will be abou
$100.

Red Cross First Aid
Standards Adopted
In Great Industries

First aid in an emergency which
assures the injured competent atten-
ton until the doctor arrives is making
marked headway through the work Of
the Chapters of the American Red
Cross. In populous centers 314 chap
ters conduct first aid classes and last
year awarded $500 certificates to stu
dents. Eight big telephone companies
have enlisted their workers in first aid
classes, police and fire departments. in
large cities are making the course
compulsory in their training schools,
and through colleges and high schools
large groups of students receive in
struction. The Red Cross also gives
this course through Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts, Y NJ G. A. and similar organi-
cations, and its standard methods
have been adopted by railroads, cleo
trio and gas companies, mines and in
the metal industries. The aim of this
Red Cross service is to cut down radi-
cally the average of $4,000 accidental
deaths per year in the United States.

IN ANSWER TO "IN
FLANDERS FIELD

The Following poem in answer to
the immortal I'm Flanders Field
was written by F. R. Derrick of Brod-
head, Wisconsin, and is printed in
memorium of our Fallen heroes.
You are our dead.
Long years from now, Pilgrims will
come
At Sunsets glow" to wreath with
garlands
Row on row" these graves of yours.
This Flanders Field will ever be
A Mecca, for the brave and free
And, may the poppies ever blow,
Between these crosses row on row."
The lark's brave song from up on
high,
Deep in the azure of t. sky,
Shall, in the future years, become
The key to all sweet minstrelsy.
The torch you threw is planted high,
It's flaming signal on the sky
Spells Freedom for the world today.
Rest, heroes, rest, where row on row
Your comrades laid you, long ago.
When, on that Resurrection morn
The gates of Heaven shall open wide,
And you shall enter side by side,
The only badge you need, will be
A poppy" plucked from Flanders
Field.

MORE BIRTHS THAN
DEATHS IN SEPTEMBER

| The total number of babies born
| in the state during the monh of
! September exceeded the total mum =
! Der of deaths for the same period by
211, according to a report issued by
the state board of health. The state
ment which was compiled by Mrs.
Ruby L. Jacquemin, statistcian for
the department, shows a total of 500
births for September as compared to
| 285 deaths.
Of the number of births, the re-
cord shows, 313 were boys and 283
were girls. The record shows that
Is of the babies were twins, there be-
ing pairs born during the month.
Gila, Maricopa and Pima counties
each had two pairs of twins, while
Cochise, Coconino and Navajo re-
ported one pair each.
An unusual feature of the death
report for the month is the startling
fact that 36 per cent of the total
number of deaths in the state dur
/ ing that period were babies under
the age of four years More than
% per cent of the total number of
deaths were infants under the age
of one year. The record discloses
that Sc babies under the age of one
year died during the month and So
between the ages of one and four
years.
There were 283 babies of white
parentage born during the month,
241 of Mexican parentage, 46 of In
dian parentage, 10 of other races
including negroes while Is babies
were of mixed parentage.
Girls Exceed Boys
The number Of girl babies exceeded
the number of boy babies in six of
the counties as follow: Gila, Gra-
ham, Maricopa, Mohave, Navajo and
Pinal. A rather unusual occurrence
in the report is the fact that there
were no babies of white parentage
born in Pinal county during the
month, the record showing that four
of the II babies born in that county
were of Mexican descent, six were of
Indian and one of negro parents.
The number of birhs in each
county and the sex of the infants is
as follows:
Apache, 2 boys, 1 girl, total 3;
Cochise, 43 boys, SO girls, total 79;
Coconino, 13 boys, II girls, total 25;
ella, 81 boys, 40 girls, total II;
Graham, II boys, IL girls, total, %;
Greenlee, 16 boys, 4 girls, total 20;
Maricopa, "a boys, 80 girls, total

PHOENIX STATE FAIR
ATTENDED BETTER THAN EVER

More than 10000 persons gathered
in Phoenix Monday to celebrate the
opening of the nineteenth annual
state fair, the largest gathering that
ever has attended the fair on opening
day since it's inauguration. The peo-
pie elbowed their way through the
exhibits, exclaimed about the wealth
and variety of the attainments of
Arizonans, thronged the booths and
buildings and when the time game
for the races to take place, filled the
grandstands to overfiowing, the en-
thusiasm for the ponies and for the
grid heroes receiving equal applause.
The marvellous success of the open
ing day was apparent in the fact
that in former years a satisfactory
first day attendance record has been
considered from 5000 to 10000 with
the latter figure as probable maxi
mum.

Deep Mystery
Comes Out of

by United Press

SAN FRANCISCO, March ID
The fascination of Strange mys-
terry is commanding the attention
Corps stationed here. Most of these
"devil dogs have had their share
of mystery and it's solution, but
this one has them stumped.
The mystery surrounds the name
of Gabriel Wacht, one time watch,
maker of San Francisco. The one
clue is a small medal, which Ser
geant Harry A. Fervin carries in
his pocket. Erwin found the bit
of metal in the stomach Of shark
that he and comrade harpooned
off the west coast of Mexico near
Mazatlam in 1914.
Issued by Gabriel q. Yacht,
San Francisco, California, 1884,
reads the outer circle of letters on
one side of Erwin 8 medal. In the
center is a small enameled floral
design surrounded by eight stars
and the words: "To Uncle Sam

On the other face of the disc
appears the minute dial of a clock
with the hand pointing to the num-
eral five. Around the dial are the
words: "Medium of exchange of

listed such matchmaker in 1891.
His shop was located at IL Laskic

directory again lists Gabriel

of the man. The marines can find
no more traces of him.
Who was Gabriel Yacht? Why
did he make a strange medal that
acknowledges an indebtedness of

PLAN TO BRING

TO THE COAST
Review and Exposition to
Draw Big Official
Party

LOS ANGELES, March 13-Plans
for bringing large delegation OF
congressman to Los Angeles for the
American Historical Revue anl Mo.
ton Picture Exposition in July are
meeting with genera appreciation
throughout Southern California, ac-
cording to reports at exposition
headquarters. Nearly every county
in Southern California is seeking
federal aid for some important pro-
ject and the coming revue and expo
sition is looked upon as a magnet
that will draw influential govern
ment officials to Southern Califor-
MIA so they may learn at first hand
what assistance is needed in build
ing up the vast domain Of the west.
Leading business men of Los An
geles started the movement to bring
100 or more members of congress to
the revue and exposition as guests
of Southern California, so these leg
islators could be shown the posi-
bilities at Los Angeles harbor. Or
ange county Immediately joined
forces with Los Angeles in the un.
undertaking, as Orange county for
several years has been seeking
government assistance in the devel-
opment of Newport harbor as a
feeder to the port at Los Angeles.
Civic leaders at Sair Pedro showed
the same enthusiasm. San Diego,
with its important naval station, is
anxious to show representative
congressional delegation the great
possibilities of that port. Imperial
Valley, although an inland district,
is retaining thousands of acres of
arid lands ana is vitality interested
in the irrigation possibilities of the
vast Boulder Dam project.
Tucson, Arizona, has even started
q campaign to have the official del
egation from Washington, coming
to Los Angeles for the premiere Of
the revue and exposition, taavel
through that thriving section. The
whole southwest has evinced the
greatest enthusiasm over the plan
to bring here the largest possible
official delegation for the exent
next summer. President Harding
himself has accepted the invitation
of Southern California to attend
the revue and exposition premiere
on the night of July 2. The exposi-
ton management is planning spe-
cial trans continental train, to run
from Washington to Los Angeles
and return, to bring the Official gov
eminent party west for the motion
picture industrys celebration of the
Monroe Doctrine centennial. E
