Mra. It. Colze will assume the duties
of secretary. AH of the Coyotes will

"What, you here again?" City
Magistrate Frank Thomas asked as he
finished reading a complaint charging
John Lewis, an Indian, with drunk and
disorderly conduct.
Judge Thomas had nearly completed
a busy day in police court. So many
offenders had been crowded Into the
small room that Lewis had been well
hidden behind the mass of humanity.

"It was only a few weeks ago that

"Well, jedge. I just can't let the stuff

so far as to say "the knee's the limit."
Age and the contour of the silken ex
hibit have more to do with it than any
thing else. Not one of those inter
viewed considered for a moment the
moral issue. Joe V. Prochaska. state
game warden, received his inspiration
from his surroundings. He glanced
over his collection and then declared
that no woman should wear 'em too
short. "She shouldn't dress like a
road runner. But why come to me

why offer the exhibit? Furthermore
said the chief if the knee skirt becomes
the vogue I look for trouble among my
force. I have emphasized the fact that
every officer of the law should be able
to look everyone in the eye."
W. S. NorveiL state water commis
sioner, evidently had his mind on his
work for he muttered something about
abbreviated skirts landing one into
pretty deep water. k
With all seriousness Colonel James
II. McClintock. state hisyrian, declared
that the most moral races were the

librarian would have women wear their

General Walter S. Ingalls, who has

the congestion of traffic would be less

he places at an Inch and a half below
the knee provided there are no de

that it is no ones business how short

"It's a woman's own business'' says he
Just like that. So far he says the short

"With the tax on materials we can

Charles R. Howe, state tax commissioner.
"Bring out the best there Is in every
one, if it is from the knee down why
that's all right, too" G. H. Bolin, state
mine inspector says.
Making up for the fact that he said
"long enought to reach to the knee"
Dr. R. H. II. Blome thought to make
it all right with an Abraham Lincoln
quotation, but its the truth that the
state director for vocational education
favors the short skirt. "But don't eay
I said anything as wicked as that" he
begged.
T. C. Cuvellier. director of public
health surveys can't think in inches.
However little girls In primary classes
should wear their frocks to their knees,
while high school girls should let theirs

skirts stay there the rest of their

Clayton Bennett, secretary to the
board of directors of state institutions,

David P. Johnson, member of the

TO OPEN DAY SCHOOL
III 1111. CRII
Articles of incorporation are being
drawn up in Phoenix today that an
American woman, may open a day
school in Xanklng, China.
For eight years this woman, a Miss
Thirza M. Pierce, taught the little
Chinese kiddies, and then came the
realization that the mission school was
limiting her work. In order that she
might do more for the youngsters,
whose education is her life work, she
decided to open a school with a more
progressive policy. With the decision
she was confronted with many ob
stables in the form of red tape which
have led to the drawing up of the
articles of incorporation of the Pes
talozzl school, which has a number of
well-kn6wn educators listed as in
corporators, including the mission
teacher's brother-ki-law, Dr. R, H. H.
Blome.
Dr. Blome, state director of voca
tional education, said yesterday that

Straight Thinking
The easing up of prices will have
little serious effect of a permanent na
ture and the country should be able to
pass through this crisis of readjust
ment with a small If any increase in
business failures. In fact according to
the report of R. G. Dunn and company
for August. 1920. there was a slight de
crease in the number of commercial in
solvencies, although the volume of lia
bilities showed a marked augumenta
tion. Prices have not and will not reach
their lowest levels for some time to
come, but beyond qestion we are en
tering a buyer's market after a most
riotous time of spending. Exports have
decreased leaving more goods on the
market labor is more plentiful and
more efficient; there is more efficiency
in production, all of which tends to a
downward trend in-prices.
Under present conditions that the
country is not in a more unfavorable
position is due to the functioning of
the federal reserve system and the co
operation of Die bankr. The federal
reserve bank is not realiy a bank, but
