LEAD SHELTER BLOWN IN

Douglas-Four months after

began, the new lead smelter of
the Phelps Dodge corporation,
the first modern plant of its kind
in Arizona. was blown in here
Thursday, and two hours after
the FIRE was laid to the charge,
matte was tapped from the vent.
Many years ago an attempt to
operate a smelter that today
would be considered crude. was
made at Benson but failed. The
new plant fred up Thursday is
equipped with every mechanical

modern practice, every safety
device for the protection Of EN-

which began operations some 90
days ago. The larger shipments.

buyer, inquiries indicate a>reviv

probable development of many
good properties hitherto inactive

The hope of the Phelps Dodge

augurate a new base metal era
in Arizona. lifting the state from

DAWES NOT A CANDIDATE

Washington, Aug. 29.-Char.
les G. Dawes has ordered a
quietas put on the campaign for
the republican for presidential
nomination which was about to
be started in his behalf.
He has refused to permit his
name to go into any of the presi
Dental primaries and will sane
ton no canvass for delegates.
This word is brought back by
intimates who conferred with
Dawes at Evanston, Ill. last
week. They outline the situation
as follows:
Dawes is extremely happy in
the vice presidency. as it involv
es little strain or responsibility.
He has led a busy life and he
was 81 years old Saturday. He
has no burning desire to plunge
into the strenuous, trying life OF
presidential candidate and posi-.
lively will not sponsor any or.
ganized fight for it. Yet he
would accept the nomination il
drafted.
So it appears that the man who
as vice president, has made more
noise than all of his predecessors
bined, is going to be ex
tremely quiet as a presidential
possibility. Never the less mos,
politicians place him alongside
Hoover as among the likelies1
! republicans.

Health and Happiness
in Paint and Vurnish

Paint and varnish are friends Of
children, protecting them when you
are not aware of it. Not now and
then, but all through the year the
cleanup and paint-up idea should be
in vogue. The well-painted home, in
side and out, is, Of course, the sani-
tary house. Cleanliness is not pleas
ant for germs. Disease does not lin
ger long in the home where floors are
immaculate and where walls catch
and hold the blessings of sunshine.
There is a wonderfully new Ameri-
can creed, voiced by the mothers and
and fathers of the land: "Home shall
be the abiding place for happiness,
content, mutual interest. Home shall
be a pleasant place to live and in
which to raise children. Flowers shall
bloom and rooms glisten in the sun
light. Nowhere shall neglect, nor the
mood OF. the sloth be expressed. Each
to our appointed task, eager and will
ing to do his share. And because we
unite to commemorate this high ideal,
mothers day and fathers day shall
be every day, dedicated to better cities
bnd finer homes and therefore to finer
citizenship"

Community Spirit

One of the unfortunate features Of
life in the average large city is the
loss, sooner or later, of community
spirit. In centers Of moderate size it is
easily possible to develop and retain
such a spirit. When anything Is to be
done the community or Its representa-
tive citizens can get together and dis
cuss the matter In each case the COM
munity welfare Is viewed as a whole;
not in fragments, in districts or Sec
tons. Students Of municipal life and
its problems are beginning to regard
the disappearance Of a community con-
sciousness as a genuine detriment.
The existence Of large numbers of
organizations, civic, commercial and
what not, each with it's own set of in
terests, is seen to be possibly more
of an obstacle than a help to progress
Of the whole center.

Automobile Inspection
Would Avert Accidents

Many automobile accidents could be
eliminated if motorists got into the
habit of having their cars inspected
and overhauled regularly, in the opin-
ion of the National Safety council,
which points out that great proper
ton of automobile accidents are due
directly to faulty equipment.
The following rules also should be
carefully adhered to by motorists in
order to cut down the number of un-
necessary accidents:
Brakes should be kept in efficient
condition at all times, and frequent
tests should be made.
Chains should be used during fey
and wet weather.
Number plates should be kept clean.
Motorists should not tolerate noisy
mutfers.
All cars should be equipped with
bumpers, as they will lessen damage
due to collision.

Splendid Work Being
Done BY Garden Clubs

One well-kept yard in a block, with
gardens gay with flowers, vegetable
garden so spick-and-span it looks edi-
Bile even before the vegetables are
gathered, inevitably induces neighbours
to start bringing themselves up to the
standard. One well-handled yard re-
veals the shortcomings of it's neigh
bors so glaringly that general i'm
provement is bound to come.
Garden clubs have become a popular
social as well as civic factor in all
the larger towns of the country. The
spread of these clubs has done more
to beautify cities than any other fac
tor, and the growth of these organiza-
tons is only well started.
Garden clubs are of various charac-
tiers ranging from those Of distinct So
cial aspect to study clubs composed
Of small groups of earnest women
who seriously study plant life, garden
design. culture. and who do their own
gardening. Other organizations make
their garden efforts part Of city
beautiful programs, undertake public
works such as the planting Of parks,
Fairgrounds. school wards and other
public institutions.
It has become prime requirement
In most Of these garden organizations
that the members shall be able to quail
fly as dirt gardeners-and do not trust
It all to professional gardeners or
hired help. They must actually SOW
the seed, plant bulbs, transplant and
cultivate to qualify for membership.
