On Friday afternoon a joint meet
ing of the Friday Morning study
group and the Park unit was held
at the house of Mrs. J. p. Boyle.
Mr.. B. G. Thompson, assistant county
attorney of Cochise, was the speak
er He explained in detail the func-
tions Of. the county attorneys office
and the duties of that officer. Mr.
Thompson clearly defined the inn
portance of the civil side of the work
pertaining to the office of the county
attorney which is sometimes over
looked in the more spectacular
criminal proceedings of which the
county attorney has charge. The
speaker also emphasized the import
ant position the county attorney holds
as legal advisor to every county
officer on matters pertaining to the
duties which they are called upon to
perform for the county The tax
muddle at present existing in the
county was necessarily brought up
involving as it does the county at
torney's duties in relation to de-
linquent taxes. Mr. Tompson's talk
was interesting and inspiring to all
women voters, carrying as it did a
message to them of the necessity
.of a vital. interest in the affairs Of
their county and state.

Last Monday evening the regular
meeting of the evening unit was adj
dressed by Mr. S. P. Applewhite on
the second office of the general
election ballot-that of state tax
commissioner. After outlining the
history9of the commission, the man
ner of its organizations, it's personnel
and the, salaries and duties attached
thereto, Mr.. Applewhite gave the
women very comprehensive outline
of tax conditions in the state today.
The speaker read carefully compiled
notes comparing Fluctuations in taxes
covering a period of some years,
which We're very enlightening. The
question of delinquent taxes was
gone into at some length and many
interesting facts revealed in that
connection. The last part of Mr..
Applewhite's talk was on the sub
ject of budgets" At the end of
the speakers recital of facts and
figures his listeners felt fully qualf-
fled to answer the question of "When
is budget not a budget?" League
members are very grateful to the
two busy men who gave so freely
of their time and knowledge this
week to help tighten the darkness
/ in which the average woman voter
of the u S. still gropes her way.

MAY WORK ON
SALARY BASIS

LONDON, March P.-Bridesmaids
are becoming scarce for society we'd
dings and it is quite possible that those
available in the future will demand a
fee for their services.
This has come about not through
any particular shortage of girls, but
from the fact that the old superstition
still prevails if a girl has been a
bridesmaid more than twice, she will
never be bride herself. Also it is an
expensive luxury being bridesmaid
now that incomes are somewhat de
pleted, and dress material so expensive.
At one or two of the recent society
weddings, bridesmaids We're promised
and received valuable, diamond pend
ants for their services, and now May
fair is discussing what fee a brides
maid should be entitled to when the
shortage has to be really faced.

RED Cross CAR
WILL COME TO
DOUGLAS MAR. I

i Douglas is to receive visit from
the American Red Cross first aid
car on March T. The famous car is be-
ing routed over the Southern Pacific
system.
Arrangements are being made to
give demonstrations of practical
methods of first aid in local schools,
to shopmen and other railway en-
ployes, the police, firemen and the
general public.
/ Since the beginning Of the cars
present tour over the country's
major transportation systems, the
surgeons aboard nave visited 800
large cities and first aid demon
strations have been given directly
to more than 25O,OOO persons. This
service is free to the public.
| The heavy attendance is partly ex-
/ planned by the fact that the lectures
| by the experts on the car are so
simplified and condensed that they
are readily understood by everyone.
attendance at these meetings may
| be the means of saving a 1ife-per-
haps your own" is the slogan of
those aboard the car.
The American Red Cross, in re-
newing its travelling first aid demon
strations at this time picks the
moment when the annual toll of acci-
dents in the United States exceeds
The American casualties during the
w.. ~ L,
impressions official statistics show
that most of American accidents
happen in or around the home. In
ability to perform even the simplest,
technique of first aid before a doctor
arrives too often results in the death
or permanent disability of the in
jured person.
The Red Cross first aid course
has been tried and found a complete
success by some of the countrys
largest industries many of which
have formed first aid teams which
compete in expert demonstrations for
prizes donated by the companies.
In some of the larger cities appli-
cants for positions on police and
fire departments are required to show
that they first have qualified in
Red Cross first aid.
Throughout the country many
thousands of people qualify every
year and receive their first aid GER
tificates through the local chapters
Iof the Red Cross.
The Red Cross first aid car which
will visit here is of special type
and contains lecture room with
capacity of 45 persons. 1t is fully
equipped for the purpose of giving
demonstrations in first aid by the
surgeons who live on board the car
during its long trips
DR.. w. j. Fenton, of Des Moines,
Iowa, chairman of first aid and life
saving of Polk county chapter, has
charge Of the car. Associated with
him is Herbert Young, Jr., Red Cross
field representative, who has been
with the first aid car for more than
year.
Some idea of the remarkable
recognition given the present car
and it's lessons may be seen from
the fact that during 1926 the gov
ernors of four states visited by the
car have issued formal proclamations
recommending the inclusion of Red
Gross first aid courses in the schools
Of each state.

FLOOD 0F WATER GUARDING GOLD
This Is Part Of System in
 England's Bank

London. May 24. (UP)-Hence- forth it will require an army of 'deep-sea divers 10 rob the vaults of the Bank of England.
 The saying safe as the Bank of England" is in no danger of becom- ing obsolete now. until all the water is removed from the surface of Mother Earth. as new defenses which are being included in the re- building of the bank which Is now taking place. will constitute obsta- cles to invasion such as have never yet been created in the circum- stances.
 When the work is terminated, 1t will be possible to flood the banks great vaults from three different places: First. from the premises of the building itself. second from a point in this city which, of course. is being kept secret and lastly from an undivulged locality>ten miles out of London.
 In addition to the devices which will require prospective burglars to become fishes, if they plan to visit the Bank of England, the builders have provided system whereby in case any modern and evil-disposed Hercules attempts to dislodge one of the concrete blocks which consti- ute the walls of the building, an electric wire will be broken result ing in the immediate sounding of an alarm.
 The concret blocks are reinforced by old stcel-wire ships cable. which are interlaced into panels and placed on top of one another in tho mould. They are six feet long by two feet wide by two feet thick.

MODEL VILLAGE IS
 WORKING OUT WELL
Two Americans Experimenting
 in France

Quimperle. France. May 24. R>- Two Americans run a model village here, built for the Breton workers in the factories which furnish half of the paper for the 100. 0.0O0, 900, 900 cigarettes which the United States puffs each year.
 Fred R. Harris, of Brockport, N. r., and his assistant, Franklin H. Stafford, Of Pittsburgh. Princeton graduate of 1910. employ 600 men and women. Model dwellings fitted with baths. hot and cold water, electric light. and gas are furnish- ed to the workers rent free.
 The houses cluster about parked areas. Each family has its own garden plot for which the company provides s,eds and fertilizer. There also is large sports field with rugby gridiron. cinder track. lock- CT room and shower baths, all at the disposal of employees. As a consequence labor trouble Is un- known among the workers.
 Language troubles do exist. how ever. About half of the staff speaks the Breton dialect in place of French. The plant man. ager. therefore. has to carry specification slip in one hand and a Breton dialect grammar in the other.
 The general offices of the Ameri- can managers of the de Mauduit Corporation. French concern, are situated in wing of an old monas- tery.
