CONFUSION IN MEANING
PAVEMENT NAMES

Confusion in the meaning Of
pavement names, indicated by
numerous requests received from
property owners whose streets are
projected for Improvement, has
prompted J. E. Jellick, district en-
gineer of the Portland Cement AS
sociation, to define the terms: as
phaltic concrete, portland cement
concrete, hydraulic concrete and
concrete base.
"We have learned from several
sources that property owners are
confused by the different names
that appear on paving petitions
and often sign a petition for one
type thinking it to be an entirely
different one," Jellick declared.
"The age-old use of the word
concrete in reference to dams,
bridges, buildings and other ce-
ment work has formed a definition
in the public mind that all con-
crete is made with cement. How
ever, all pavements in general use
are made almost entirely of min
eral aggregates-sand and stone or
gravel-and bound together with
another material. In asphaltic con-
crete the binder is an oil product
and in cement concrete it is ce-
ment. Hydraulic concrete is ce-
ment concrete and will set under
water.
Probably the east for
property owners to di "A the
two types" Jollick that
cement concrete is lie y and
the asphaltic types lack.
Never does the term asphaltIc con-
crete mean an asphalt surface on
q concrete base as many people
think. Years ago it was general
practice to lay the combination
type but at the present time ce-
ment concrete without any other
surfacing is in wide use."

MRS, ANA FROHMILLER TO
RUN FOR STATE AUDITOR


FLAGSTAFF, May 15.-In
making official al eeement of
her candidacy for State auditor
on the democratic ticket, subject
to the September primaries. Mrs.
Ana Frohmiller, a resident of
Flagstaff, brings an extensive ex-
perience covering many years of
active service in this state.
Mrs. F'rohmiller is we'll quali-
tied for the office of state auditor
because Of her excellent record
as county treasurer of Coconino
county, which position she has held
for the past two EskS during
which time she i oduced a
very comprehensive rSem of ac-
counting which has tsen officially
adopted by the county. The books,
ing her administration, show
the lowest delinquent tax list of
any treasurer in that county.
A resident of the state of Ari-
Zona for 28 years, having come
here at the age of seven, 18 years
of this time was spent in Phoenix,
in which city she is at present a
property owner, and ten years in
Flagstaff.
Mrs. Frohmiller is well acquain-
ted with the needs and problems of
this section. Receiving her busi-
ness education in the Lamson Busi-
ness college of Phoenix, she was
first placed as bookkeeper in
that city where she spent five
years. Moving to Flagstaff in
1915, she was employed by the
Babbitt Brothers Trading COM
pany as cashier. She later ac-
cepted position as deputy county
treasurer, first under III. L.
Aphold. On the resignation of the
latter, after she had served two
and half years as deputy, Mrs.
Frohnliller was recommended to
finish out his unexpired term. At
the close Of that term she filed for
election in 1922 and is just COM
pleting her second term in this Of
flee.
On the death Of her mother,
when Mrs. Frohmiller was but II
years of age, and being the Oldest
Of family of eight, she was faced
with the major responsibility of
raising her brothers and sisters.
This she has done creditably.

ness and Professional Woman's

state and national federation of

mems clubs, Ms Frohnla1er SER

also state treasurer of the Arizona
Federation of Women's clubs. -.
Because of this exceptional rec
ord and her well-known qualifica-
lions for The duties Of the office
Of whitL she is seeking, her many
friends throughout the state have
urged her candidacy and after CIV
ing the matter careful considera-
tion, she has consented that her
name be placed on the ticket.

PHOENIX, May 15-The great
est summer vacation season in
Arizona's history is forecast by
the Arizona Industrial Congress in

A statement by Nine. Anna Fitziu

the opera star is suffering with in
ternal ulcers and general nervous

glassful of orange juice. Then her

Whose Girl Are You?

Not many boys ask the question so
frankly. Lots OF them stick around
for weeks and months before ascer-
tanning exactly what they want to
know.
But there is certain type of young
male, who does practically put that
question to the girl in whom he's in
terested--and il she be wise maiden.
she'll be ready for the inquiry.
The correct answer to Whose girl
are your" is What do you carer" or
"Who wants to know" or anything
else Of like impertinent and indif-
ferent nature.
The idea being that none Of you
women are to encourage the tender
youth who demands to know whether
your affections are tied up to one boy
or not.
There's no quicker way of getting
into a mess than to start running
around with a boy who has this grand
idea that every girl has steady"
In the first place, he will insist on
your being his girl--and then he will
insist on an exclusion Of all other
males.
And you will wake up to find your
self utterly cut off from all other
eligible boys-running around with
just one chap who isn't even engaged
to you.
You may protest that he loves you
violently-that he can't bear to see
you have anything to do with other
men--that he yearns to marry you as
soon as the financial situation permits
but until you show the solitaire on
the customary finger of the left hand,
you've got nothing to prove any of
your statements or his.

girl you are should be squelched vio-
lently and Immediately.
For his inquiry shows that he's a
sentimental idiot who would insist on
your being his girl. giving up other
boys, planning on matrimony and lay
ing aside idle gayeties.
You may say: "Well, suppose love
this guy-whats to prevent my be-
ing his girl and planning to marry
him?"
If you love the gentleman of the
first part, well and good. You can
start being his girl right away, but
you needn't and mustn't start those
rosy matrimonial plans until you have
something more definite to go on than
his wish that you should be exclu-
sively his girl.
The boy who wants a definite un-
derstanding that you're his girl and
nobody else's makes you lose your
other friends-and ties you up so
strong that even il you don't particu-
larly want to marry him, you often
feel he's your last chance and you
must take advantage of 1t.
It's much better to be independent
| and refuse to acknowledge yourself
as any ones girl until you have some
real reason such as proposal or en-
gagement.
Boys who get into the habit of set

very often are selfish sentimentalists.

NV Neighbor SAYS:

Add only enough water to
the flour in making pie crust
to hold the dry ingredients to-
gether in a lump, so that the
mixture may be rolled out in a
sheet. Too much water makes
the crust tough.
When putting on the collar of

the neck of the blouse can be
stretched, but not the collar,
otherwise the blouse will not

In making sauce which con-
tains egg yolks for thickening,
the sauce must not boil after
the yolks are added or it will
curdle. 1t must be remembered
that eggs will not thicken

is nearly reached.
Never put meringue on a pie
or PUDDING that is hot or even
warm. This is what causes
those sirupy tears. Pile 1t on a
cold pie and place in a moder-
ate oven to dry out and brown
a little. 1t will hold it's shape

EAT AND BE HEALTHY
Dinah Days Daily Talks on Diet
The Right Food Is the Best Medicine

furnish the body with necessary
nourishment are dangerous. Restrict
ed diets which cut down on elements
needed for health are dangerous.
Get-thin remedies of any kind what
soever should not be taken. No
medicine should ever be taken with
out a prescription from a competent
doctor who is prescribing for his
personal patient. The fast that a
doctor advises Mrs. Brown to take
certain medicine is no reason it
will help Mrs. Smiths trouble.
The object Of reducing overweight
is not just to lose the weight ire
spective of whether or not the health
goes with it,
Excessive overweight Is danger
!, Gus. But literal fasting is not the
way to get rid of this surplus flesh.
A sane diet, cutting down on the
fat-making foods, will slowly and
safely reduce overweight. Instead of
the health being undermined, 1t will
be improved by such a regime.
Beware of starvation diets. Be-
ware Of foolish reducing. Most as
suredly, such methods do not pay.
D. F. T.-Have heard calves liver
benefits the blood. Is this true?
Answer.-The iron and lime con-
tent of calves liver is very, very
slightly less than the iron and lime
content of beef liver. Both contain
vitamin A and B and probably C..
Liver is not any more beneficial to
the blood than any other food con-
tanning the same amount of iron.
