EXHIBIT AT CENTURY OF
PROGRESS FOR ARIZONA

Pans are being rapidly car
ried to completion for the Ari-
zona exhibit at A Century OF
Progress. The Commission
recently appointed By Cover
nor Mouer with Robert L. Tai
~ of Jerome as Chairman has
established headquarters at 23S
North Central Avenue. Phoenix
That place has become a regu-
lar bee hive, as suggested plans
are considered and either adopt
ed or discarded. One idea is
kept uppernost at all times,
that the exhibit must be state
wide in scope, that each section
Of the state must be given the
opportunity to tell its story,
and that all the material must
be coordinated, so that Arizona
can present to the world a spec
taculqr panorama OF the charm
and natural beauty that is hers,
retaining all the Romance Of the
Southwest and yet show the de-
velopment of her own Century
of Progress.
Under the nection Of Bart
lett Heard, chairman Of the Ex-
hibit Committee these plans
are being carried out and con
lstructIon work will be commenc-
ed Immediately.
The Commission has set up a
budget Of fifteen thousand dol
lars and has issued a call to all
communities of the state to raj
Ily to their support. Walter

TIME TO RENOVISE AGAIN

Last spring a good many
American communities inau-
gurated renovation campaigns,
during which local citizens were
urged to have their property in
spected, and make necessary
and valuable additions, altera-
tions and repairs.
The campaign provided thou.
sands of jobs. 1t sent money
through a hundred major in
dustries. Essential improve
ments were obtained at frac-
ton of what they would have
cost a few years earlier.
This spring and summer
should see additional campaigns
of the same order. The need
for employment is almost as
great as it was year ago. The
construction industry is still
tagging behind business in gen.
eral.
That peeling paint, the leaky
roof, that ancient wiring which
presents a constant fire hazard,
that outmoded heating plant
that old plumbing, that rickety
garage, those cracked steps
now is the time to fix anc
change them. 1t doesn't mat
ter whether you have ten dollar:
to spend or ten thousand, IL
either case you are doing youl
bit 10 spur recovery, and you
are getting bargain values.

AHURST BATTLES FOR.
lOc COPPER TARIFF

Washington, Apr 10. A tar
if Of 10 cents per pound on i'm

rs. 600 to so. 600 men returning
10 work in the copper mines OF
Arizona alone. Senator Henry
+. Ashurst, Democrat, Arizona,
told the United Press
Ashurst has proposed an
amendment to the tax bill now
being debated in the senate
which would impose the lOeent
tariff.
However, all my efforts IN
the last few days, have been
devoted to trying to prevent
Senator Bennett Champ Clark
Of Missouri from moving to
strike out even the four cents
per pound tariff on copper now
in effect. believe | viii sue
ceed in that although Clark has
gotten some support behind
him"
Clark is opposed to tariff on
both copper and oil and Is a
member Of the finance commit
tee which has had charge OF the
tax bill.
Ashurst said that recent for
eign discoveries OF copper such
as those in South Africa where
labor is cheap make it impossi-
BILE for domestic mines to com
pete with The imported product
unless they have tariff protee-
ton.
III tariff of 10 cents pei
pound could be levied it would
stimulate the copper industry
so much, particularly in Arizo'
ma, that present emergency re-
lief in those regions would not
longer be necessary, Ashurst
said.
Ashurst also has INTRODUCED
an amendment iii the senat,
under which the federal govern
ment would buy all present
copper, lead and zine surpluse'
and hold them in storage fol
use as they are needed in army
and navy building programs.

In order to beautify the town
more we could follow Mesa's
idea to have week especially
set aside 10 plant citrus trees.
This week Mesa is observing
Plant Citrus Tree Week, y
and it is 4 good idea to follow.
Citrus trees as yard decora-
tions are attractive besides their
use in supplying fruit
Winter visitors enjoy the
sight OF blooming citrus trees
in our land of sunshine and we
should make an effort to at
tract visitors to the city. This
month until May 1st is an ideal
time to plant citrus.

SOME CHANGE ANNOUNCED
IN CREENWAY MEET

The Greenway Field Day AS
sociation today announced an
important change in plans for
the Ninth Annual Greenway
Fieldday. The High School
Track and Field Meet will be
held in the Phoenix Union High
School Stadium the night OF
April 2lst, while the Grammar
school and A. A. q. events will
be held April 2Sth as previously
announced; the final Grammar
School Meet being preceded by
fifteen District Qualifying Meet
held throughout the state.
This change in plans was
necessary because of serious
conflicts among the High
Schools and it is believed that
the switch will find every High
School in the state with an
open date on April 2lst.
In order to eliminate such
conflicts in the future, Vic
Householder, General Manager
of the Greenway Field Meet an
nounced that the annual Green
way event will be held, in years
to GENE, on the third Saturday
in April.
Jack Powles, Greenway Ath-
letic Director feels that this
plan will make it possible to
put on the best High School
meet ever held in the state as
there will be no conflicting
events.
The Greenway meet in years
past has drawn a wide represen-
tation from the entire state and
each year has seen more High
Schools entered in the classic.
This year should prove no ex-
ception and judging from the
early interest shown by the
High Schools practically every
school in the state will be re-
presented at Phoenix.
An innovation in trophy
awards this year will see a cup
presented to the Class B High
School winning the most points
in the Greenway meet. In the
years past the high point High
school received the only team
award which has always gone
to the larger Class A schools,
which practically eliminated
Glass B schools from a team
championship. This added tro-
ply should greatly stimulate
interest among the smaller
schools of the state.

New York Stocks
BY ELMER c. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK. April 17.-PreSsure
lifted from the stock market today
as the grain markets rallied fol-
lowing another period of heavy
selling. Stocks near the close were
up fractions to more than points:
wheat closed off Is to Ia cents
bushel; corn off "a to q cent
Grains at the close were up frac-
tions to 2 cents from the days
lows.
American Telephone led the stock
market. 1t gained more than 2
points, while gains of fractions to
more than point were noted in
U. S. Steel, U. S. Smelling, Wool
worth, General Electric, General
Motors, Sears Roebuck, Montgomery
Ward. Case, Chrysler, Consolidat-
ed Gas, Du Pont, American Can,
and American Smelling.
Amusement issues were strong
Rails firmed to around the pre-
vious close. u. S. Rubber was in
demand. Coppers gained small
amounts as did wet stocks and tex
tiles.
Packing issues continued in de-
mand. Canadian issues came to
the fore late in the day, notably
international nickel.
Traders paid more attention to
grains than to stocks. Other COM
modities moved narrowly. Cotton
was down slightly most of the day,
while silver and rubber futures reg
istered small gains. The dollar
fluctuated in a narrow range in
terms of foreign exchange. Bonds
firmed after early irregularity. U.
S. governments were mixed.
Stock sales today approximated
$4,000 shares against 100000
shares yesterday. Curb sales were
245,000 against $4,000 shares yes
terday.

TWO MAJOR LEAGUE CIRCUITS
TO INACCURATE SEASON TODAY

presence of the Phils' new catcher
manager, Jimmy Wilson.
The clash at Brooklyn was figured
for plenty of sparks. pitting Big Ed
Brandt of the Braves against young
Leslie Van Mungo of the Dodgers.
Brooklyn'S new manager, Casey
Stengel, was to coach off third.
Over at st. Louis, Dizzy Dean,
ace of the Cards. had drawn as an
opponent that dependable work
man Heinie Meme of the Pirates.
In Cincinnati, Lon Warneke OF
the Cubs faced ST Johnson of the
Reds. This game was additionally
interesting because Chuck Klein
was making his first championship
start in a Cub uniform, and the
Reds were performing for the first
time under the colorS of their new
millionaire owner, Powell Crosley,
Jr, and with brand new catcher
manager, Bob OFarrell.
CrOnin Ready
In the American league, Joe Gro
min called upon his stellar twirler,
Earl Whitehill, to uphold the laur-
els of his pennant-winning Sena-
tors, against Dusty Rhodes at Bos-
ton. Bucky Harris, new manager of
the Sox, slated Rhodes because his
newly acquired ace, Lefty Grove, is
out with a lame arm.
This Boston encounter was GER
tain to command plenty of atten-
ton because it brought together the
Senators, whom most of the experts
have picked to repeat for the pen
nant, and the Red Sox, who are
believed strengthened enough to
mount into first division.
A battle of the ancientS was Slat-
ed for Chicago, with Sad Sam
Jones, probably the Oldest finger
in the majors, taking the mound for
the White SoX against 35 year old
Firpo Marberry Of the Tigers.
AT Philadelphia, Lefty Gomez, ace
of the Yankees staff, was opposed
to Merritt (SugaD Cain, holdover
from last years staff of the Ath-
leticS.
Young Oral Hildebrand of the In
dians and George ,Blaeholder of
the Browns were figures for a red
hot show at Cleveland.

NEW YORK, April II. = Thrill
ing mound duels were expected to
feature opening day of the 1894 ma
jor league baseball season. Sixteen
major league clubs today start from
scratch in the National and Amer
lean pennant races.
Most managers, seeking a flying
getaway, entered ace FINGERS. An
anticipated turnout of more than
100000 fans was assured for the
usual ceremonial hodge-podge of
band blarings, flag raisings, first
ball throwing and hotdog- -scorecard
symphonies.
The Senators and Red Sox were
scheduled for a special inaugural
at Washington yesterday, assisted
by President Roosevelt, but rain
washed it out and shifted it to Bos-
ton. This left the fields in the two
circuits intact for today's opening.
At New York, the world champion
Giants had Carl Hubbell groomed to
oppose Ed Holley, ace of the Phil
lies. Hubbell, after his amazing 1888
season, stands out as baseballs
foremost pitcher and the games
most valuable player. In this cur
tain raiser, Hubbell was handicap
ped by the absence of the Giants

LIONS ENJOY
BOOK REVIEW

Glenn Franck's book, Thunder and
Dawn was discussed this noon for
the Lions club at the meeting in
the Barbara Worth hotel by Rev.
w. E. Malan.
The book is a study of the va
rious movements in the world to-
Gay, economic, social, industrial and
political. The six greatest fears,
biological, psychological, admins
trative, political, moral and eco
nomic were listed and Reverend
Malan devoted his time primarily to
the latter two.
The economic fears of capitalism,
Facsism and Communism were dis
cussed and It was stated that the
code of morals was based on capi-
talistic theory, Reverend Malan
pointing out that he felt his coun-
try would maintain it's present path
and would not be influenced by
other movements.
Mrs. P. A. Murray, accompanied
by Estelle Livingston, sang two
charming vocal numbers. Jack
Harner was chairman of the day
and guests were Mrs. Murray, Mrs.
