going to be az kind and considerate
as his fond papa and mamma. When
reserves come, as they always do, the
child is lost. He does not know how
to adjust himself. Frequently his life
is tragic.
Aside from the tender nature of the
parental impulse some parents are
afraid to let the child take the conse-
quences of his own acts. for fear it
might interfere with some budding
talent. Perhaps this accounts for the
"temperamental" nature of most art
lists and gifted persons.
Another means of spelling children
is the deliberate effort on the part of
some parents to let the youngsters
have a good time. Usually these par.
ents have had to work hard them
selves and feel that they were chea ted
Of lot Of fun. They are determined
that their children shall make up for
their loss. And a parent is so close to
his own offspring that he gets pleas
ure vicariously until disaster comes to
the boy or girl and the parent shares
the bitterness of that experience
through the same process.

OF course Mr.. and Mrs. Grouse saw
him coming They saw him when he
left the tree and came gliding down.
They didn't know what to make of 1t.
Their hearts were in their threats.
They crouched as far back under the
bough as they could get. Perhaps he
didn't really know they were there.
Perhaps he was just suspicious. They
knew it would be a dangerous thing
to fly. They wouldn't move until 1t
was absolutely necessary.
Terror poked his head under the
bough. At first he saw nothing. You
see. the brown coats Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Grouse were so near the color of the
brown leaves from which that bough
had kept the snow that they were
very difficult to see. Had they moved
the least bit Terror would have seen
them. AS it was, he blinked once or
twice, then began to crowd his way
underneath. There was nothing now
for Mr.. and Mrs. Grouse to do but to
get out and get out in a hurry. And
they did Yes, indeed, they got out in
a great hurry And out after them
came Terror the Goshawk. The mo-
ment he saw them start he said to
himself This is the time I'll get at
least one" And inside he chuckled
fiercely.

Types.

You gain very little in life, or in
beauty culture, unless you know what
you are after, what you are aiming
for. You can't advance very far with
out an objective. In making yourself
more beautiful you must first of all
understand what type you are. I
know a great many young girls who
think themselves one type and dress
and act up to it, when they are really
quite another type, and the result is
that they are hopelessly nondescript.
Are you thin and rather awkward?
Well. you'll be successful as the slim
boyish type then-which is fortunate,
as the slender, not to say downright
skinny, woman is the vogue. for lat
least one more year" say the dress
makers. Are you little and chubby?
Don't, for goodness sake. go in for
cropped hair and tailormades then;
you're feminine and frilly and frivo-
lous. Your bob must be fluffy or
wavy, your dresses soft floating mate
rials. You are the opposite of your
slender and bOyish friend.
Are you rather tall and quiet? It's
hard to be Juno-esque these days of
oddly cut skirts, but, fortunately, there
are always two types of evening
dresses and one suits you to perfec-
ton. This is the picture gown, which
varies from season to season, but uSu-
ally is the full-skirted and long skirt
ed, basque-waist dress of either the
late eighteenth or the mid -ninteenth
centuries. You can be statuesque.
Juno esque, quiet and as dignitied as
YOU will. in such a gown, or in the
simple tailormades that are always in
fashion.
Are you too stout for real beauty?
All right, reduce, and yOu1l come un-

ton is easy and simple if you've the

OF course it is natural for parents
to love their children. The parent
has the privilege and responsibility of
providing for his child and shielding
him from danger and harm. This be-
comes a habit and is frequently over
done. 1t is hard for a parent TO real
ize that his boy or girl is growing up.
The child starts as a helpless bundle
of wants and cries. He needs great
deal of attention. There is no animal
so helpless as the human infant
The oversolicitious care of the par
ent tends toward indulgence, which IS
a common means of spelling the chlld.
1t is parental love gone to seed. The
lower animals do not make this mis-
take A mother bird will force her
young out of the nest to shirt Tor
itself. There is no pampering or COD
ding.
Overprotection from the unpleasant
experiences of life spoils the child, be-
cause he is denied the opportunity for
developing the character muscles that
can be secured only in the school or
hard knocks. The spoilt child expects
special favors. He thinks every one IS

Craft of Terror the Goshawk.
That which is difficult to gain,
A little craft will oft obtain.
TERROR the GOshaWlk

Of all the bold. fearless birds of the
air Terror the Goshawk is one of the
most bold and most fearless. What he
wants he usually seizes, regardless of
consequences But there are times
when he cannot seize what he wants
and all the boldness in the world is of
no avail 1t is then that he employs
craft.
Ever since he had come down from
the Far North to the Green Forest
Terror had been trying to catch Mr..

had lust missed them. Twice he had

POt-au-Feu.

Choose a good sized beef bone that
has plenty of meat on it. cover it
with water and boil for three hours.
Remove the bone and cut the meat
into bits. Let the stock cool, then
remove the fat, add the meat to the
stock, return it to the fire, add one
large onion that has had 10 whole
cloves imbedded in it and has then
been roasted until it is brown, add
one pint of cooked tomatoes, one
half a pound of rice and one-fourth
cupful each of chopped potatoes, car
rots and cabbage. Cook until the
vegetables are tender, then add salt
and pepper. Just before you serve
the soup, add one teaspoonful of white
sugar burned to good brown color.
This adds to the flavor of the soup
and gives a rich color.

members of the house, but it, too, re-
mained unchanged. Most of the
amendments submitted were offered
by Chairman Murphy of the appro-
priations committee. An amendment
by the fathering committee appro-
priated $29,60O for the girls indus
trial school, created by this legisla-
ture The figure for the boys in
dustrial school was changed from
S1O4164 for the biennium to $105,964
to provide for an additional guard.
A plea by Jones of Cochise for addi-
tional remuneration for the state
mine inspectors secretary resulted in
a boost of $500 a year. An amend
ment appropriating money for the
Arizona national guard was the sub
ject of a long, protracted attack by
Gibbs of Maricopa. He offered no
less than a dozen amendments to the
subsection, taking each adverse vote
resignedly, and finally captivating
to the figure set by the appropriation
committee. The appropriation for the
Tempe Teachers college furnished
grist for the mill of Lynch, which
led to his arraignment by Finch of
Maricopa, a member of the appro-
priation committee, who charged him
with trying to do something with
out adequate information on the sub
ject."
Lynch rose to point of personal
privilege, and the chair, Jones of
Cochise, cautioned the house against
dealing in personalities.
The figure for the Northern Ari-
iona Teachers college remained at
$376,4 for the biennium, but that for
the Tempe college was raised $4,000
to $5O9,7O0 for the bienniu mthrough
! an amendment by Representative
Walker, increasing the sum for op-
GRAFTON expense.

director of all the executive depart
ments of state. The majority report
held that the bill should not pass
and the minority by Senators Hill
and Kinney recommended that it
do. A motion to adopt the minority
report carried to 8.
Joyner, of Pima, declared the bill
would create little Mussolini,"
while Akers, of Maricopa thought
it was "ill-timed and out of place."
The bill would appropriate $4,000
forI each year OF the biennium to
defray the examiners expenses.
The senate passed five bills or
final reading, Including house bill
by Pickett, of Cochise, providing for
pensions for firemen. The others
were: BY Joyner, relating to the
organization of irrigation districts;
by Hill, amending the law govern
ing the refunding of county bonds;
by Runke, Coconino, creating the
office of county commissioner of

Two administration bills were in
tfOduced To-Day, one as IL SuUSIlluIS
for the code revision bill vetoed by
Governor Hunt Thursday, and the
other as a substitute for the general

bill conforms generally with the fig
urges contained in the governors

fered a change of heart on it's vote
of yesterday to raise all the legis-
| lators' salaries and on final reading
rallied to pass the Jones-Crawford
measure providing for boost from

cal year would be expended from
the fund for the construction and
maintenance of state roads. The
four cent gasoline tax was retained
in the bill by the senate committee,
three eights collected to be credited
to the county treasurers in accord
ance with the amounts collected. Five
eighths of the amounts would be
credited to the state treasury.
The state highway engineer would
be responsible solely to the COM
mission and his activities would be
governed by the commissions wishes.
The calling for bids on any construc-
ton work is made mandatory upon
the engineer rs was provided in the
original bill.
The division of motor vehicles"
created by the act would be super
vised by vehicle superintendent,
appointed by the state engineer, and
would take over all the duties and
functions now exercised by the sec
retary of state.
The bill creates two systems of
state highways, the one to be known
as estate routes and the other to
consist of such parts of the state
route as are designated "state high
ways" by the commission When thu
streets of incorporated cities or
towns form necessary or convenient
links for the connection of sections
of state highways, routes or county
highways, they may 'be incorporated
in such.
The proposed act would create a
estate highway creditors fund" for
payment of some $665,OOO owed by the
highway department. Into this fund
would go all moneys from any tax
levied and collected for the construc-
tion or maintenance of highways as
well as earned federal aid.
The bill contains a ''rules of the
road" code, designating prudent
speeds" and making it prima facie
unlawful for any person operating q
motor vehicle to exceed designated
speeds in designated localities, and
sets up a system of penalties iol
i violation of the proposed law.

Statements made at last nights
meeting indicated that the power prof.
ect when it is finally drawn up VIII
include all of the shallow water dis
trict of the entire valley instead or
just the lower end as was at first
suggested. This matter, however,
depends on the attitude of the peo-
pie of the WILCOX or northern dis
trict. 1t was said at this meeting
however that the farmers of the
northern district are jtSt as eager
to be included in the district as are
those of the McNeal district.
With Earl Solms representing the
Bisbee chamber of commerce, Albert
Stacy representing Douglas and T.
J. Leeson the third member of the
tour committee presiding at the
meeting, the farmers were given
through these three men a detailed
account of the results Of their three
DAY trip to the successful projects
of the Casa Grande and the Salt
river valley.
]. P. Sexton, manager of the
Douglas district for the Arizona ETH
son company, was the fourth occup-
ant of the platform. He told the
ltpeople of the millions that Douglas
and Bisbee send away for feed and
other products that can be raised
here and explained to them why he
and his company are interested IN
! the development of the valley. Sex
ton has been an advocate and boost
er of the valley development for
| many years and his knowledge OF
!, costs and electrical data was used
throughout the evening in the open
discussion which followed the re-
ports of the tour committee.
The men on the platform answered
hundreds of questions put to them
nv the enthusiastic farmers. The
fciscussion took in every phase o.
| the question and much valuable
knowledge was placed before the
meeting.
At the meeting to be held two
1 weeks from yesterday it is planned
that through the cooperation of the
Bisbee and Douglas chambers OF
! commerce. several men who have
been connected with the develop,
ment of she projects in the central
part of the state will be brought tc
/ McNeal to speak.
1t is the expectation of those II

enough information will have beer
gathered so that a completion OF
the lines of the district will be II
