UN HILL NOT
GI IIP WORK TD
RETURNING IN
Having Had Taste Of Inde
pendence Do Not Intend
To Relinquish Jt, Declare
Manv Prominent Leaders
Women will not be diverted from
economic enterprises to domesticity!
and idleness with the cessation of the
war, according to Alice Eddy, secretary
f tho socialist party and member of
the community of labor.
Tho question is being debated every
where as to whether or not women
should give up their positions in the
industrial field to returning soldiers,
and the consensus of opinion here is
that it will not he necessary. Labor
leaders declare that the larger devel
opment of industries in Arizona will
avert any such crisis and that there
will We sufficient labor for both men
and women.
To meet the problem a woman's di
vision of the United States employ
ment service will be established by
December 1, and a woman will be
placed in charge. Women who have to
work for a living will be given first
preference, but the women who have
had their first experience in working
for work's sake during the war period
will ho given helpful aid and encour
agement. Won't Be Parasites
Miss Kddy declares that women w ill
be slow to rc.lmo.msh their contact w ith
the outside world.
"They have had a taste of economic
independence and it appeals to our
western women, who have advanced a
step in line sinc e the world's war," said
.Miss Kddy. "Of course, occupation and
home environment will influence the
women who must make a decision with
the return of thnir relatives who have
been in the service. T think the ma
jority will remain in industry. Their
experience has broadened their ideas
and they have learned the purpose of
life. I do not believe they will be con
tented now as parasites.
"Women will not be asked to evacu
ate from the labor fields," prophesied
the woman labor leader. "The federal
government will find employment for
the returned sailor and soldier with
out disarrangement of industry. I do
not believe there will be any ovcr
i rowding in the labor market, and if
there should be, it must be the sur
vival of the fittest.
"There's Work for All"
"There is work for all." declared
Thomas J. Croaff. federal director for
the state in the United States employ
ment service.
He believes there is sufficient work
here to give employment to those who
were in the service as well as those men
and women who have been employed at
home during the war period.
"A larger development in industries
in Arizona, in reclamation, highway
construction, extension of the mining
industry, cotton production, farming,
all will tend to give employment to
:hose who want work."
Mr. Croaff stated that the federal
employment service established, here
as a war bureau must be continued to
'cdistribute labor back to peace condi
tions. He spoke especially of the new
division for women.
"Women who have to provide for
themselves and their families will have
f irst preference when we place women
in industry," said Croaff, who firmly
believes that the women who have la
bored during the war period will con
tinue in the field.
Would Limit Their Field
"At least, they will never go back to
the same viewpoint," he argued. "It
Is more than likely that they will de
mand something of material value to
express their new Ideas."
The local director of employment
has not had to face the problem of
Placing unemployed through the clos
ing of Industries by the establishment
of peace. The eastern situation is
vastly different from that of the west,
where there appears to be work for all.
Mr. Croaff would change labor con
ditions by having women work exclu
sively along the line that he stamps
"women's work." Although women
have qualified as experts in many en
deavors which have heretofore been
dosed to her, he still believes that
things are not as they should be.
Equal of Men Mentally
"If war had lasted another vear con
ditions might have become civilized,"
he charged as he complained of women
working on the farms behind the plough
while husky negTos serve as" porters in
Pullman cars. Mentally, he believes
women fit to cope with men and as an
evidence of this, as president of the
state federation of labor, he has placed
a woman on the committee to arrange
a new and progressive program to be
put in effect at this critical time. The
woman is Eva ('only, rmmbr-r of the
woman's auxiliary of the (Nolle Miners'
union, and a woman who works for her
living in one of the business concerns
of Clobe.

Two ministering angels, un
awares, are being entertained at the
county jail. That is, they were un
awares that they were to become
ministering angels.
They are Fred Wilson and Tom
Jones, detained to answer to a
charge of bottlegging. They were
arrested at Mesa on Wednesday
night by City Marshal Warren,
having at the time of their arrest
in their possession 120 pints of
whiskey." They were brought to
this city by Deputy Sheriff Charles
Musgrove.
Their cargo was intended to en
liven Thanksgiving day which, to
many persons deprived of alcoholic
stimulants, threatened to be dull
and drab.
But the 120 pints of whiskey thus
suddenly added to the stock in the
possession of Sheriff Wilky has
been diverted to another and better
use. It will be employed in the al
leviation of victims of influenza un
der the direction of competent phy
sicians. The supply of confiscated likker
had begun to run alarmigly low.

PROTESTS AGAINST
THE IMPORTATION
01
IUET0YS
That the methods of Germany in her
economic warfare were unjust and un
fair and that American club women
should protest against the importation
of 2O.tlO0,OUO pounds o( German toys, is
the opinion of Mrs. II. A. Guild, pres
ident of the Arizona Federation of
Women's Clubs.
Claiming that it would be the best
thing lor America, Mis. Guild also in
sists that Germany would profit in the
end if the imported toys should be re
fused by this country just as she will
eventually profit from the war. Defeat
is what Germany needs, declares the
club woman. Defeat in world war and
in economic wax.
Arizona will not be represented when
the New York state federation of clubs
meets in. the near future, although sev
eral delegates will be present from var
ious states to protest, the Importation
of toys.
Ectters however, are to be sent to
Ilichanl Hurd, chairman of the boycott
committer of the American Defense
Society, from Pacific Coast clubs, urg
ing that the imported toys he sent back
to Germany or else dumped in New
York harbor, emulating a former his
torical fate of undesirable goods. In
addition to wishing to discourage Ger
many's advance attempt to gain a com
mercial footing in this country, the
clubs state that since the United States
went into the war. there has been a
steady increase of the manufacture of
toys in this country, in many commun
ities in the United States the Junior
Red Cross and school students have
been at work on the making of toys tot
American (,-hildren.
Making of toys has been taught in
the. local schools, but the closing of the
schools during the epidemic has cur
tailed the manufacture of Christmas
gifts of that character in this citv.

The second day of the health order
making compulsory the wearing of in
fluenza masks passed in quiet yester
day, with no arrests of violators of the
I regulation. For the most part, tne or
! der was obeyed by the few persons who
appeared downtown yesterday.
Although it had been previously an-
nounced complete enforcement of the
! order, under pain of arrest, would be
I made yesterday, it was decided not to
make anv arrests of violators until to
day. This action was taken by Chief
of Police Brisbois at the request of
County Attorney Laney, after it had
developed Municipal Judge Thomas
had no jurisdiction over the cases,
which must be. tried . under a state
statute in a justice of the peace court.
As no justice courts were held yester
day, rigid enforcement of the order was
postponed.
Watch Out Today
Beginning this morning, however, it
was positively stated last night, the
order will be stringently enforced, and
all persons who appear without masks
in the proper position will be prose
cuted. The penalty for violation of the
order is a fine not to exceed $100 or 30
days in jail, or both.
On account of the few persons who
came downtown yesterday, it was dif
ficult to judge just how closely the or
der was being obeyed. By far the
greater part of the people to be seen
on the streets were accompanied by the
omni-present mask, but it is certain
there were many violations. Masks
were permitted to dangle around the
neck, and some persons did not bother
to carry them at all probably after it
had leaked out there would be no arrests.
No Report of Cases Yesterday
In drug stores the demand for ready
made masks dropped in proportion to
the lessened number of people to buy
them. Supplies were well maintained,
and at present there seems to be no
possible shortage, so long as a nunfber
of masks are made at home, as has
been the case.
On account of yesterday being a holi
day, no report of the number of influ
enza cases In the city was made. The
surveys and the reports will be re
sumed today, however, it was an
nounced by the citizens' committee.
After ten "days since the formation
of the committees of physicians and
citizens for the stringent enforcement
of health rules in an effort to halt the
spread of the Spanish influenza in
Phoenix the committees are enabled to
judge of the effect of the campaign.
End Is In Sight
Tt was announced last night that de
cided results had been obtained and
that the epidemic had been stayed, the
number of influenza cases in the city
growing steadily less and less. It is
expecteu mat a detinue day when Pie
entire city will be reopened as before
the appearance of the disease soon wili
be st.
Pull statistics of the deaths in hce-
nix from influenza during the pant six
weeks possibly will be published to
morrow morning. It bad been x-
pected to begin publishment of the
deaths today, but it was delayed by
tne holiday.
r
n
li r actor
The quietest Thanksgiving day in its
history probably was that w Men rnoe
nix experienced yesterday.
Battling with the epidemic of Span
ish influenza which has resulted in the
closing of the schools, churches, mov
ing picture theaters and other places
of business, the city was forced to
8pend a quiet day.
The usual union Thanksgiving serv
ice, a feature of all previous Thanks
givings, was omitted, much to the re
gret of all church-going people. In its
Place there were many home services,
several of the churches having pre
pared special Thanksgiving day leaf
lets to aid in such services.
Nowhere to Go
There was little to attract the people
from the comfort of their homes to the
cold outside, for yesterdav was one of
the coldest days of the" season. Ihe
highest point the mercury in the ther
mometer at the weather bureau
reached yesterday was 54, an unusual
record for phoenix.
There were no moving picture thea
ters to attend, they also being under
tho ban. The streets were ifot filled
with the usual holiday crowd. With
the influenza mask order in force. Un
people preferred to remain indoors
rather than decorate themselves with
the gauze mask and run the gauntlet
of derision and influenza.
But despite the fact that th day was
an unostentatious one, without the
usual football game, the chrysan
themum, the jolly crowds, the people
had better cause for thanksgiving than
for many years, although at many a
table .there were empty chairs, but it
was the knowledge that these absent

Thanksgiving was in the hearts of
all. Thanksgiving that the tremendous
shambles in Europe was no more;
that the aim of democracy had been
accomplished without the terrible loss
of men by the United States that had
been experienced by the rest of the
warring nations.
Prisoners Eat Turkey
Many of the Phoenix restaurants
and cafes had prepared special turkey
dinners with all the usual appurten
ances to make a complete Thanksgiv
ing spread, and these helped out the
day for those who had no permanent
home in the city, but who desired to
associate the day with a turkey feast.

Bert Clingan, who refused a coram
sion on this side to cross the ijeos witli
his division, has made good in France,
according to word received here yes
terday. The Phoenix man on his arrival was
admited to the officers' training school
and not only "made the grade" in the
artillery school, but passed first in a
large class. He has been held at the
school as an instructor.
Clingan made a splendid record at
Camp Funston where he went from
Phoenix with the first contingent. He
was made a sergeant after a fen- weeks
in service and was recommended for
the officers' training camp when he
learned his comrades were leaving for
overseas duty. He did not hesitate in
his choice but sailed for Prance when
the first opportunity arose.

Kd Rudolph's Fordson tractor dem

Fred Fuller ranch, corner of 1j and
Fourteenth avenue, two miles south of
the Washington school. Much interest
in tho demonstration has been evi
denced by prospective tractor buyers,
and the performance of the sturdy
Fordsons will be keenby observed.
The piece of ground on which the
demonstration will take place is old
pasture Bermuda sod, and is claimed to
be the toughest piece obtainable, E. J...
Sutton, a practical farmer, will be in
charge of the operations, and as he is
one of the first Fordson tractor owners
in the Salt River Valley, his experience
will be available to all who wish to ask
questions. A large attendance is ex
pected from all sections of tne valley.

If not already done, examine every
colony and see that they have plenty of
honey to carry them through the w ra
ter, also sufficient to breed upon until
our next honey flow. Remember it will
take from 15 to 30 pounds, according
to location, if you have plenty of buck
brush to bloom in February and March
balanced by water motors and willows
to run them until the mesquito blooms;
15 to 20 pounds may do, but if your bees
must wait until alfalfa blooms the sec
ond crop it may take 30 to 45 pounds.
Remember, where alfalfa has plentv
of rain or irrigation during winder and
spring, it is so rank and th bloom so
long that the bees cannot reach the
honey of first crop. But as the weather
gets hotter the bloom ii shorter jtnd
the bees can reach it, unless the
rancher over-irrigates it. If so, be
ruins his seed crop and the honey crop
also, as the bees do not fertilize it.
To illustrate: Some years ago the
Arizona dam was out and thi alfalfa
stunted in the Salt River valley. The
beekeepers secured a big crop of honey
and the farmers a good crop of seed
from first crop. Our Buckeye 'valley
was more fortunate in having irriga
tion water during the winter and
spring. But we, as beekeepers, got no
noney or seed from first crop of alfalfa
but a good crop of both from the se
onu crop. i-.quaiize tne honey now
among your bees; if short, kill yout
most undesirable queen and double th.
honey and bees with other weak cull
ings; it win ne better to feed if sweet
can ne nao. uranuiatea wnite sugar
thinned with water heated to a thick
syrup is best.
i have tried amber or blue canned
Karo syrup this fall and find the. bees
take it readily, (but will not touch sor
ghum.) It is claimed that Karo con
tains 20 per cent sugar. While I have
not tried the light colored KarC I
would sooner chance it than the amber.
I would prefer to mix it in the honev.
The rule is to feed thick in fall and
winter and thin in the spring. Syrups
may contain glucose that might not be
good for bees to winter on when con
fined, but would not hurt them when
breeding up in the spring. To feed
liquid feed I take out frames from the
super room, then fill fruit cans 10
pouna size prei erred with chips on
top for the bees to sit on and not drown
while sucking up the sweet and placing
it around the broad and chister, make
them snug by closing all unnecessary
cracks. Avoid fires by cleaning away
