FIRST AID MEN TREAT INJURED
MAN AT TEMPE

The students of first aid in the Red
Cross Life Saving Institute that Is
being held this week in Tempe under
the direction of Com. w. E. Long
fellow, assistant director of the
American Red Cross first aid and
life saving work, were given an ops
portunity to put their training to
practical use Tuesday morning when
Bert Atwoods workman on the
building under construction for the
Tempe Milling company, was injured
by fall from the top of the 30-foot
building.
DR.. R. J. Stroud of Tempe who was
assisting with the institute at the
time of the accident, was called to
attend the workman DR.. Stroud
found the man to be suffering from a
bruised and strained back and was
unable to move him from the scene
of the fall
A call for assistance was sent to
the Institute leader and Com. Long
fellow and his students rushed to the
aid Of the workman. An improvised
stretcher was hastily made from a
blanket without the use of boards and
sticks of any kind, and the injured
man was removed from the building
to tie Office Of DIR. Stroud where he
was treated by the doctor and the
first aid students. Although it is be-
lieved his injuries will not prove SER
ious, Atwood was taken to the Ari-
zona Deaconess hospital for treat
ment
The Tempe physician was loud in
the praise OF the methods used by
the men, stating that even though i'm
provised equipmen was used, the re-
suits obtained were speedy and the
man was transported as comfortably
as he could have been on real
stretcher. The Institute is fortunate
in securing so competent staff of
instructors.

When local politicians are unable to drag

COURTS FOR THE POOR

For some years England has had Poor Per-
sons Department of the High Court where the
poor may go without cost and ask for justice: Dur
ing it's existence the poor who otherwise could not
have afforded to sue for recovery of rights have
won $4,000 pounds that was Judged due to the
many individuals concerned In one year over
10000 applicants were heard and II 900 were Civ
en- permission to sue under the poor persons priv
ilege These especial courts are now matter Of
course but the system is being changed and is Civ
en- over to London and provincial law societies.
To sue as a poor person the applicant must
be worth less than so pounds excluding clothes,
tools of his trade and the funds or property sued
about, and his income may not exceed two
pounds per week. In especial cases these limits
may be exceeded to 100 pounds property and
four pounds week income.
Special rules provide against useless frivo-
lous suits and mere quareling, and against solici
tors making any profit out Of the poor. Counsel
do their part free. It is voluntary contribution
from the lawyers for humanity as the doctors
give freely of their professional skill to the poor
This privilege of suing for justice is extend
ed to foreigners also who are without means and
have any cause for action against England or
anyone in England.
Arizona has great and pitiful need of some
petty court for the trial or display of cases of in
Justice that the poor have to submit to because
they cannot afford legal fight. There are al
ways lawyers who would gladly take over some
such work without any fee, for the sake of Ari-
IONA justice and humanity.
Local conditions would soon show the need
for our special provisions against what the Eng
lish describe as frivolous litigation, and mere
Quarres, or cute attempts to overreach, either
the kindness of the volunteer counsel, the pa
tience of the city, or the standards of equity and
mercy.
1t would be an experiment worth trying and
one that would call out the sympathies of all who
love their fellow men. It would put Arizona
higher than ever in the esteem Of the world. Fur
thermore, some such court will have to come.
More and more as the wealthy and the successful
and the governments Of Arizona, our county,
realize their responsibility to give every human
being fair chance in the community, some Court
for the poor will have to be established It has
not taken many years for the idea Of especial
courts for children to take hold, and this is the
next step establishing justice towards the hum
blest of our citizens

replied Redwing. I'm not doing
anything of the kind. You know
those two little feelers which ants
have growing out of their heads?"
Peter nodded. Yes" said he.
What of them?"
We'll. this ant is patting one of
these aphids on the back with those
feelers of hers and the aphid likes It
and is making little drop of honey.
dew for the ant. And over there Is
another ant doing the same with an
other aphid. / guess If you look down
there on the ground you'll see some
ants just starting up the alder"
Peter promptly went over to the
foot of the alder and looked carefully.
Sure enough, there were ants going
up and others coming down. He saw
that they were all going or coming
from the branches on which those
white aphids had collected. So he be-
gan to suspect that what Redwtng had
said must be true.
II never have heard Of such a
thing" said Peter. II didn't suppose
ants had anything to do with aphids." I"
He said this out loud. Redwing heard
him.

haven't used your eyes a whole lot,
Peter. Ants take the greatest care Of
aphids. They even fight their ene-
mics for them. Yes, sir, they even
fight their battles for them.
wouldn't be a bit surprised If some Of
these ants up here are on guard now"
How can ants fight birds?" de.
manded Peter.
Redwing looked quite as puzzled as
he felt. Then it came to him what
was in Peters mind. "Ho, no, no, ha,
ha, ha," he laughed. "Do you think
birds are the only enemies aphids
have? Some birds do eat aphids, but
the numbers they kill is nothing to
the numbers that their other enemies
kill. There ought to be some Of these
enemies around here now. I must

Took Warning Too Seriously.
BY MIMI

Isabelle believed every word she
read in print. Once she'd seen some
thing set down i'll black and white in
newspaper or magazine, it was Sos-
pei to her.
Consequently, after reading several
stories about the poor young girls
who met what they considered real
love on their vacations, and who re-
turned to the city TO find that their
SweetheartS were base deceivers, ISa-
belle was fully determined not to be
fooled by any warm weather Romeo.
She had her two weeks vacation in
June, and the first day she arrived
at the bic hotel she met Dick.
She admitted to herself that he was
just what shed been looking for for
a long time. but remembering the
sad fate or trusting maidens she
steeled her heart against her Prince
Charming.
Dick fell Ike a ton of bricks. He
couldn't see anything else but lsa-
belle from the moment he met her.
lie did everything in his power to
convince her that his was not q love
born of Midsummer madness and
moonlight. but he couldn't make her
believe him.
Poor Isabelle was too afraid of being
fooled. Even though her instinct told
her that tins boy was speaking the
truth, Old Man Doubt whispered in
her ear that he might forget her when
the Summer was over.
Consequently she treated her ar
dent admirer rather .Coolly. and delib-
eIately played up to Larry--just to
show Dick that she was wise to Sum
mer sheiks--which hurt Dick so much
that he took himself off in huff.
Had 1t not been for the luckiest
fiuke in the world Isabelle might
have lost her man forever. But a
fortunate chance brought them to-
gether in the city, later. and our
heroine had an opportunity to learn
just how foolish she'd been.
The morai of which is: Don't start
a friendship on your vacation with
the fixed idea that the man in tho
case is just out for d Irritation.
It's perfectly true that most men
are apt to be gay deceivers in the
merry months of June and July.
But it's also true that some real
friendships and romances have been
started in this very dangerous season.

Clues to Character
Very Light Hair Fickle.
BY J. o. ABERNETHY.

There are many shades Of hair
which express different meanings.
Generally. red hair goes with impul-
siveness and temper. An emotional
nature nearly always accompanies
reddish locks and blue eyes, Reddish
hair, verging toward brown, is an ex-
cellent color, If you desire sense,
strength, goodness and virtue.
A brunette will mold you to her
tastes, but she will be efficient, force
full and energetic. If you desire gush.
ing emotions and pathos with one who
will be more susceptible to your will,
then choose a blond.
Golden hair, If fine, denotes consti-
tutional vigor, and IS usually associ-
ated with blue eyes and fair complex
ion, and this combination produces
esthetic tastes and artistic talents.
Very light-haired individuals are
often amusing, but not profound
thinkers. This shade Is usually found
upon the heads of persons more enter
tanning than philosophic, whose emo
tions are transitory and manners gay
and lively, with love of dress and
fondness for spectacular plays and
sensational literature.
Such persons attract by their vivac-
ity and entertaining manners. Their
affections are neither deep nor last
ing, but tickle and capricious.

The object of the game is to capture
British soldiers, whole companies ut

any craft i'm the service of the United
colonies or of the separate colonies. or
by privately operated privateers. Any
of these craft or their opponents may
move in any direction. Their
opponents are British troopships
whose object is TO get into Boston
IIarbor without being captured.
They will be captured there any
way unless they happen TO anchor
near several British warshipS sill
in those waters. But they do not
know that Boston has been in the
possession of the Continental Army
since March II, and SO. while play
ing this new game their idea OF
winning is to get to Boston. The
Yankee skipper wins by capturing
q troopship anywhere and leading it
a captive into any New England
port. The game may be played by
any number of ships on either side

and it isn't exactly dew. The aphids
make it. 1t looks like a tiny drop Of
dew and it's sweet and rather sticky.
SO it is called honey-dew. The ants

good care Of the aphids."
II never have heard Of ants taking
