Clocks and Lack Of Clocks Are
Harrassing S. P. Agent Clary

alarm clock right now, but it doesn't
run very we'll"
''La mont, the jeweler, sells good
clocks that do run very well'", ex-
ploded Mr.. Clary after one of the
telephone interviews relative to the
time. But, of course, this remark
was made after the lady had hung
up. Mr.. Clary still is a gentleman
in spite of the APPALLING number of in
accurate clocks in town.
"And if there are any folks in
town that can't afford a new dollar
clock" Mr. Clary continued, ''there
are still other ways of learning the
right time without calling the rail
road ticket office.
''The Sunset and Golden State
Limited pass through Tempe every
day on time. They are as regular
as the best of my clocks. Timepieces
safely may be set by their arrival.
For those who do not hear or see the
trains, there are other ways of learn
ing the right time.
"The creamery whistle blows every
morning and the bell on the Catholic
church invites the faithful to early
mass at the same time daily. And
if there are some folks in town who
can neither hear the whistles or the
church bell and are too poor to af-
ford a clock, it might help them to
take a look at the sun. It is visible
in the Arizona heavens practically
every hour of every day, and people
judged time by it's location in the
sky for centuries before clocks were
invented"

a good trip, saw lots of automobiles
dashing into camp and men fever
ishly taking claims so we had a
good time"
Reports are to the effect that good
ore, bearing gold, silver and lead
was struck in large quantities about
twelve feet down at the field where
Mr.. McCann staked out his claim.
He and his associates arrived at the

the excitement Mr.. McCann said.

SWIMMING POOL
BEING REPAIRED D

Work on Tempe Beach swimming
pool is now under way under direc-
tion of E. P. Carr, member of the
Tempe Civic club committee in
charge of the municipal pool. The
work is progressing at a satisfac-
tory rate and present plant are
that the pool will be opened for use
April Is, as previously announced
in The Southside Weekly.
'The only thing that will keep us
from opening the pool April Is, will
be bad weather." Mr.. Carr said.
"And since we generally have good
weather about that time of the year,
we now believe the pool will be
opened at that time"
Mrs. A. E.. Martin is now selling,
the season tickets, G. A. Goodwin,
civic club president announced.
Present indications are that the,
coming season will be the most sue
cessful the, pool has ever had since
it was made, Mr.. Carr said. Plans
are now being completed to bring
several competitive aquatic events
here, to be staged under direction
of the civic club, it was announced.
The fact that the pool is becoming
more widely known every season is
expected to increase attendance over
the record made last year.

THREE FORFEIT
BONDS MONDAY

Bonds for three men were for

CLUB HOUSE FOR
WOMEN SHOULD Be
BUILT, IS CLAIM
Mrs. R. K Minson, President of the
Tempe Woman's Club, Declares
Town Needs Building Where Social
Functions May be Held.

One of the most needed improve
ments in Tempe at the present time
is modern woman's club house,
where social functions of almost
every nature for public welfare and
entertainment may be held, Mrs.
R. K. Minson, president of the
Tempe Woman's club yesterday de-
clared.
Tempe is in need of club house
where the women of the town may
conduct social functions" Mrs. Min
son said "The members of the
Tempe Woman's club have been
working for several years to ac-
cumulate a sufficient fund to con-
struct such building, but progress
has been rather Slow" Mrs. Minson
continued
Fund Increased
"The club house fund has in
creased to such an extent, however,
that we would feel justified in put
ting up building if we had a good
lot on which to build it," she said.
"The principal problem now con-
fronting myself, the other officers of
the club and it's eighty members is
where and how we are going to get
the building site.
"Other towns and cities provide
woman's clubs with suitable sites for
such buildings" Mrs. Minson con-
tinued. "Such sites are often given
by city and town councils and paid
for out of the city treasures. Other
towns and cities have been provided
with building sites for woman's club
buildings by public spirited men
and women of means who are are to
make such gifts.
GA woman's club house is almost
public place. 1t provides suitable
quarters for meetings of committees
of women engaged in work for ad-
vancement of the town and vicinity.
1t is favorite place to hold every
desirable sort of social meeting.
"The members of the Tempe Wo-
mans club are agreed that we can
now start construction of desir-f
able building that will be a real
credit to the town. All the woman's
club lacks is a desirable building
site."
Show Successful
About fifty dollars were cleared
on the combined vaudeville and min
strel show staged last Monday night
at the Menhennet theater for bene-
fit of the club house fund, Mrs.
Minson said.
A good crowd was present at the
show and the various numbers re-
ceived generous applause. Numbers
put on by members of the Tempe
Rotary club, dressed as minstrels,

commander, at the next meeting of
the post, Wednesday evening, April

sides the state commander will be
present, it was announced.
Th next meeting probably will be
about the last before post activities
are more or less dropped until the
end OF the approaching summer sea-
son, it was announced. A meeting
probably will be held Memorial day,
however, Alexander said.
The new colors are of pure silk

occasions as require a turnout of
uniformed men in Tempe, it was an
nounced.

SCHOOL PACE ANT
IS BIC SUCCESS

More than 100 youngsters "out
front" and seventy-five juvenile
performers on the stage had the
time of their young lives last Fri
day evening at the College auditor
ium when "A Toys Pageant" an OPP
eretta, was put on by students of
Tempe Grammar school. A good
crowd was present and the young
actors and actresses received liberal
applause for all the numbers.
Justine Saylor, who opened the
program with a reading, made one OF
the hits of the evening. All numbers
were staged in good manner and
many expressions Of surprise were
heard from spectators regarding the
GOODNESS of the young performers
Only on one or two occasions did
a performer hesitate before utterine
lines.
Miss Helen O'Connor, who was
in charge Of designing the costumes
for the pageant is entitled to high
praise. Considering the material at
her command, she turned out some
really original and becoming cos
tunes for the boys and girls.
Miss Sara Frost, who directed the
play, evidently had her young per-
formers well drilled. There was
scarcely hitch in the performance
Her work was well done.

BUILDING RECORD
SET HERE FIRST
QUARTER Of YEAR
New Buildings and Repair Work
Totaling S2O,O3O Started in Tempe
Since January 1-WOrk on Casa
Iona May Run Total to $4,000

Building permits totaling almost
$4,000 for the first three months
of 1927, constituting a record build
ing program for any like period in
many years past were issued in
Tempe since January 1, City Judge
Ensign yesterday announced. Per-
mits for construction of six build
ing units totaled $18,630, the judge
said. Work costing about S1,400
on the city hall, for which it was,
of course, not necessary to issue a
permit, brings the total to $20,030.
The largest single permit was
for $1,000 which gave permission for
construction of the new brick build
ing at Mill avenue and Eighth street
to house the new and larger Pay'n
Takit store Incidentally, construc-
ton of this building also breaks a
long streak of inactivity on Mill
avenue in construction of brick bust
ness buildings.
The McNary drug store building,
now occupied by Mccain, was the
last brick building constructed on
Mill avenue for business purposes.
1t was finished in 1920, according
to residents then living here.
Six thousand dollars was the sum
named by N. Stolberg in his permit
for construction of the four brick
dwellings being completed by him
on the corner north of the Catho-
lie church. A residence and store
building being built by F. E. Cum
minis on E. Eighth street just east
of the college campus are going up
under a permit for buildings valued
at $25OO.
Twelve hundred and fifty dollars
is the valuation named on the permit
for work being completed on the
Fogel flats on w Fifth street just
off of Mill avenue, Judge Ensign
said. A permit for a building val
ued at $500 was issued to dad"
Mann for construction of his new
confectionery store building on E..
Eighth street just across from the
college,
Reports given out by Frank FOCAL,
Sam Carter, Wayne Ritter and Ezra
w. Thayer, new owners of the Casa
Iona hotel, indicate that about
$4,000 will be expended on remod-
cling that hostlery into new and
modern hotel. And, since this work
is expected to begin within a short
time, the first six months of the
present year are expected by busi-
ness men here to run the total build
ing permits up to about $4,000.
The fact that building permits
for the past three months have brok-
en- past records, is accepted by bust
ness men here as sure indication
that the era of increased prosperity
many have been predicting for
Tempe has arrived. The heat of
summer is expected to somewhat
slow down building operations, but
arrival of fall again will see car
penters and masons busy in many
parts of town, according to reports
being circulated of buildings now
being planned.
