that 10 class rooms could be placed in
this space. This, he said, would in
crease the capacity of the building by
about SO per cent. In reply to a
question by ex-senator r. F. Hall,
he said that there is gymnasium
in the building. and he favored its use
as an auditorium.
Mr.. Ships also attacked the mode
of constructing walls, ceilings and
floors. An Is inch wall throughout
was found. He favored light cur
tain wall. A concrete floor and CELL
ing constructed as combination, was
favored, this system being the same
as the ore used in building the State
Trade school on South Main street.

Chairman Quigley told the COM

the school board favored a conference
committee to meet conference COM

over questions that the survey board
wished information on. The chair
man favored bringing this question
befone the school conference commit

man and committee of three act in
these conference. and at the sugges-
ton of Mr.. Ships the question of
eliminating the auditorium will be the
first taken up.

AMERICANS GIVEN

of Admiral Chester and his associates,
who include Gen. George w. Goe-
thals builder of the Panama canal;
Kermit Roosevelt and other influen-
tial men, are for the construction IN
Anatoia of more than 1000 miles OF
new railways, the reconstruction of
Angora upon the lines of modern
American city, the building of ports
and quays and the exploitation of
mineral rights throughout those por-
tons of Asia Minor still undeveloped.
Payment In Concessions.
Payment for this extensive develop
ment is to be given by the Turks in
the form of mineral, oil and other
| concessions. 1t is expected that the
American corporation called the
American Development Co. will be
occupied for many years in his work
giving employment to thousands of
native as well as TO many American
technicians.
Other Nations Opposed
The project met with determined
opposition from the start from Rus
sian, British and French interests to
all of whom similar concessions are
declared to have been successfully
promised by the Turks and 1t is fore
seen here that todays action by the
grand national assembly of Turkey at
Angora must inevitably react upon
the prospects of concessionaires and
promoters OF other nationalities 1t
is said that the huge grant by the
kemalists TO the Americans Is partly
responsible for the present tension be-
tween Angora and Moscow as the
Russians are declared to have been
promised a similar economic mon
opoly.
Soyiets Make Protest
The soviet government last year
made a formal protest to Angora !
against the granting OF these conces-
sions to the Americans without Mos

The French have been as vehement

Of local people. In the summer time,
from May till October the static is

crisp winter weather the air seems 10
clear up and some remarkable things
are heard from the dozens of broad

EMBROIDERY MUCH USED
ON HATS THIS SEASON

Blanche +. Hyde, Extension Service,
Colorado Agricultural College,
Embroidery is used great deal
this season on hats. The hat may be
made of embroidered material or ]:
may be constructed first of plain
material and then literally embroid-
cred all over. The material used for
embroidery depends of course. upon
the ground material, in other words.
the goods of which the hat is made.
Chenille is a very popular material
for embroidery, although nearly every
one knows that chenille has to be
couched on. Couching is a sort of
occasional going over and over stitch
used to hold heavy braid or cord in
position. COUGHING is employed when
the thread cannot be sewed through
or into the material. The chenille of
the present season is great improve
ment over the Gravity, perishable ma
terial we have been accustomed to
heretofore.
Another material used in embroid-
ering hats is narrow fiat braid of
artificial silk, which may be easily
threaded into longeyed needle. This
is eold under a number of different
names, the most common of which
are ribbizene, or flo braid. This ma
terial may be used in any number Of
simple decorative stitches in carrying
out all-over or unit designs.
Narrow ribbon either plain or
shaded in color is also used. The
ribbon is first laid over the stamped
design and held in place by pins
stuck straight in, folding the ribbon
neatly at corners, or gathering one
edge of the ribbon and drawing up to
fit around curves. In some of the
narrow ribbons, it is possible to draw
up the cord at the edge as in many
Of the lace edges. In sewing this
ribbon onto the hat or onto the hat
materials, take occasional tiny stitches
over extreme edge of ribbon. The
term occasional stitches" in this case
would mean stitches at intervals, near
enough together to hold the ribbon to
the line Of the design, yet far enough
apart SO that the ribbon will not look
as though it were glued to the hat, but
instead will have the appearance Of
being embroidered. Yarn or worsted,
and fiber silk are also used for hat em-
broidery.

Immense telescope cameras 40 and

a number of smaller instruments will
be moved into Mexico for the purpose
of photographing the sun during its
total eclipse next September, accord

DIR. Douglas will head an expedition
while a second will be conducted by
Professor w. A. Cogshell of the Uni.

The Douglas expedition will take
with it 40-foot focus camera which
will reproduce the sun with a five-inch
diameter. An even larger camera with
a sixty-foot focus will be taken by the
Cogshell expedition.
These cameras will be held in posi-
tion by means of special constructed
towers.

CAT RACE IS FARCE WHEN
ENTRIES BECOME EXCITED


Feline infelicity, caused by too many
gaping spectators along the race
course, resulted in the much touted
cat race turning into a fizzle. Not
one of the cats got more than 10
feet away from the pole before they
became too frightened and unhappy to
move anything but their vocal organs,
which, if attached to their legs, would
have sailed along the 75-yard course
at 60-mile an hour rate.
There were five cats entered, any
one of which looked good for a seven
second record, but when turned loose
after being attached to wire harness,
they failed to show any speed at all
q. S. French's "Volstead, Jr.," saw he
was headed in the direction of Naco
and turned around and ran back to the
pole Billy Ryan's "Shoe Target" got
mixed up in his harness and devoted
his strength to cussing out his owner
in cat language that shocked the fe-
male entries
It was disappointing to the crowd
of spectators who assembled to get
their first look at a cat race. In all
the trials the cats had performed Won
derfully we'll, and Promoter Harley
Cox and Manager Jim Malley looked
forward to giving the Warren district
race fans an interesting contest. =

the car and they are now in Jail.
On the way back the negro was
treated to a fast ride in the officers

assuring the driver that he would
much rather spend his time in jail
than Ford going at that speed. The
men gave their names as Hodge and

WINSLOW MAYOR HAS
NARROW ESCAPE IN AUTO

Mayor G. IL Milan, his little
daughter Cosnaa, Mrs. Tauber and her
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
Burson of Santa Ana, California,
drove over to the Petrified Forest
Sunday in Mr.. Milam's new Sar auto
mobile. On the way back they ran
into some gravel on the road near HoI-
brook, and the car swerved to the
side of the road and went over the
embankment and turned upside down.
The mayor jumped and succeeded in
clearing the machine, but all the 9th
ers were pinned under it. Mr..
Milan quickly ran to their assistance
and by supreme effort of strength
lifted the car so that those beneath
could get out. BY wonderful good
fortune none of the occupants were
injured more than a few scratches.
With the aid of some passing motor
lists the party turned the car right side
up and came into town on their own
power. The mayor says he doesn't
care to flirt with death any nearer
and feels very thankful that the acci-
dent turned out so fortunately for
them all.-Winslow Mail

BEN RICE OF FRENCH SHOP
FAME WANTED AT PHOENIX

What is declared by attorneys con-
Quoting the investigation to be one
of the most remarkable schemes for
defrauding creditors in the history of
merchandising is alleged in the report
filed with the clerk of the federal
court by Joseph E. Noble, special mas
ter in an investigation Of the activ'
ties of Ben Rice and his wife, Rose
Rice, bankrupts, who conducted the
French Shop, Inc, and other stores
III Phoenix and Similar stores in Pres
colt, Flagstaff, Albuquerque and FL
Paso for two or three years, beginning
in November, 1918.
That the sum of $8,456.53 remains
unaccounted for by Ben and Rose Rice
is the statement in the report of the
special master. The special master
also recommends that the court issue
an order directing the respondents,
Ben and Rose Rice, to turn that sum
over to the trustee, Perry M. Williams.
The present whereabouts of Ben
Rice are declared to be not precisely
known, but it is stated that he was
last heard of in Winnipeg, Canada.
He left Phoenix about eight months
ago.
