SUBURBAN DAY.
 FOR WATERBURY
Continued from Page D

Then, too, it's Q season of wed- dings, and beautiful gifts can be secured at prices much lower than normally prevail. Graduation time will soon be here, and graduation gifts can be chosen from large early stocks.
 The poor weather which prevail c dthrough the early spring and merchants, finding themselves with large stocks, are offering goods at savings that in some cases will seem almost unbelievable. There are reductions in every type of goods.
 All roads tomorrow will lead to the shopping district, with Suburban Day bargains greater than ever before.

Firmly Resolved

THE way to start out any year is with the habi-
tual set of rules that follow in the wake of the re-
cent year put to rest So seldom do we live up to our
resolutions that wonders why we go through the
process of making them at ALL Perhaps it is because
we don't make such sensible resolutions or because
they weren't meant to be lived up to the first place
We are editing a new type of New Year regulations
but they for the protection and the wellbeng of
Nogales children. Let all consider them in their
counsel for safety.
l. Children should start to school early A hurried
breakfast is not healthy and rushing child is not
cautious 2 Cross only at lights or intersections on
streets and highways, being to look both ways
8 When bicycling don't dart out between cars or
back and forth in front of traffic Don't hang
the back of trucks autos for free ride and obey
traffic laws the as if you were driving car in
stead of riding bicycle. s. Stay out of the Streets
Play in a yard or playground. 6. When travelling
highway foot face the traffic coming your way Z
Don't hitch-hike
This is not complete set of rules for insured safe
ty but by following them will we help to cut down
local accidents and to reduce the nations loss of the
young. Thank heavens, our children are raised in
schools that instruct in traffic problems and caution
from the earliest grades! It would do we'll for old

Srecial Session
Of Legislature
Probable

PHOENIX, Jan. 5-UP) = Gov.
r. T. Jones has indicated that a
special session of the 14th legisla-
ture might be called in the spring.
Faced with a petition from the
Social Betterment League, asking
that state social security laws be
amended SO old age pensioners
might receive $35 mcrthly instead
of the present maximum of $50, the
governor said the legislature might
receive call to consider the amend
ment.,
IT tried tc get the legislature to
act On that at the regular session, "
Jones said, "and I doubt If they
would do anything about 1t at spe-
cial session, especially if it was call
ed for that purpose alone. It would
be too expensive"
Several bills to increase the old
age pensions were before the last
legislature but none received final
action or complete approval by COM
nlittees.

Birth Records

IT tragedy to need work and not be able to find it.
If anything, it is worse to land needed job and
then be restrained from taking it because of tech
nicalty
That was the disappointing experience of girl in
Phoenix. She was born in Arizona although her sur
name is Spanish Unfortunately, record of her
birth exists in the files Of the State Board of Health
What bitter blow it must have been for her to re-
ceive that information in to her request-be
job which she finally found required her to
produce certified copy of her birth certificate, filed
at the time of her birth
How many parents realize how important birth
certificate may be for their children? Today birth
certificate may be essential not only in obtaining
job but in many other circumstances such as recev
ing pension benefits, inhertng property settling in
surance claims, and even in marrying.
Despite state law which requires that births must
be reported to registrar within ten days, many
births every year in Arizona 60 unrecorded It is the
duty of every parent and of physicians and midwves
to see that every birth is registered.

Not Completely Free

IT is not of fighting for liberty in the Philip
pines, it is simple wish of "safety first with them.
The many years of agitation for their independence
from this county, overlooked in the islands
recent anxiety to continue under the protection of
government Their complete freedom is scheduled for
1916 and already there is beginning to be slight stir
ring of an unwingness to accept this complete in
dependence. Looking about them at the way small in
dependent countries have suffered at the hands Of
larger and aggressive nations, the Philippines prefer
partial freedom freedom that is still safety and
protection
If any such agreement will be reached it will be
our terms we hope, for if we to risk war with
nation through our protection of the Philippines we
must justly insist upon using the islands for mill
tary base and demand first rights in commerce and
trade besides other phases necessary in this serious
matter Of protectorate.

Gambling Debts In Mexico

THE ruling of the Mexican Supreme Court h a
= losers in gambling games in that republic do not
have to pay their gambling debts make good their
0. u if they have given such in faith of their ob-
cations will not stop gambling below the border 1t
probably will place all games Of chance cash basis
Gambling is illegal in Mexico and the high court
held if the winner in gambling game were allowed to
collect the debt the COURTS IL effect, would be de-
claring gambling to be legal Whether that would be
the effect Of Judgment to collect gambling debt is
questionable. Such debt under the present anti
gambling law of Mexico would be one arising from
violation of the law and to allow the winner to
and collect from the loser would be making such debts
valid ones though it might be questioned that the de-
cision would be validating gambling
Here in Arizona we have funny law which has
raised many questions It is that section of the luxury
tax law which requires the tax commission to
monthly fee and put luxury stamp upon all mechan
ical games which, of course, include all gambling de-
vices. Some have argued that the affixing Of the
stamp the machine legalZed it's operation though
the anti gambling Laws prohibited such operation
The stamp however could in no way be construed as
license hermit to operate the machine but merely
tax upon it's operations, if it was operated.
The same reasoning could not apply to gambling
debts, that is if the courts allowed judgments for
such obligations they would be egalizing gambling.
But they would not be recognizing debts arising fron
it as honest obligations, for it is questionable that
there could be honest debt arising from an illegal
transaction. (Arzona Republic)

WAR DEPARTMENT
RELEASES THIRD
ORDER FOR MEN

The War Department has released
it's third requisition authorizing the
enlistment of 5,266 men in addition
to previous requirements in the Third
Corps Area. This is part of the plan
to bring the Regular Army up to the
authorized strength of $4,000 men.
The second requisition was for ap-
proximately 5000 men to be filled by
Third Corps by August 80. In view of
the fact that many of the require
ments for the different arms and serv-
ices have been filled, the third re-
QUESTION has been released at this
time so that there will be a continuity
in recruiting for arms end services
to fill their needs and more quickly
bring the army to it's authorized
strength.
Although August / and 16 have
been given as dates putting into eff
feet the beginning of the recruiting
of this new requisition there is no
definite date to have this completed
as in previous acquisitions, but it is
to be accomplished as soon as pos
sible.
Men are being recruited for prac-
tically every branch of the army:
Quartermaster Corps, Cavalry, Air
Corps, Engineers (the new 21st Regi-
ment attached to the Air Corps), Med
ical Department, Signal Corps, In
fantry and both Field and Coast Ar
tillery. The men accepted will be
stationed in this area and there are
openings in-Hawaii, Panama, Philip
pines and Puerto Rico.

COAST GUARD RESCUES
TRAVELLERS CREW AFTER
RADIOTELEPHONE CALL
Strong Winds Force Vessel
Aground Near Ocracoke
Inlet, North Carolina

From the trawler "Albatross," out
across the stormy waters Of Ocracoke
Inlet, N. c., and through the headset
Of Mrs. Sophie st. Pierre, Norfolk,
Va, marine operator, recently went
the call Of distress of the ship radio
telephone service-"Mayday, Mayday,
Mayday." The message received from
the trawler's captain, Dan Hayman,
was an urgent one. It read: "Strong
winds have forced us aground off
Ocracoke Inlet, N. c. The ship is
breaking up-send help" Instantly
the alert operator connected the call
with the Coast Guard.
The cutter "Modoc" was dispatched
to the aid of the stricken craft but
due to the shallow water could be OF
little help. The Coast Guard head
quarters in Norfolk called their Ocra-
coke Inlet station by land line, and
rescuers were soon making efforts to
launch their light surf boats in the
rough water.
With Capt. Hayman on the "Albat-
ross" were fourteen members Of his
crew and two passengers. All watched
with anxious eyes the bobbing surf
boats nearing their stranded craft.
Contact was soon made and while
the graveyard of the Atlantic"
claimed another vessel, those aboard
were placed ashore, praising highly
the aid brought them so quickly by
means of their ship radiotelephone.
