How Girls Make Money To Buy
Materials For Sewing Classes
How funds are raised to purchase
materials to be used In the sewing
classes by Mexican girls has been a
study made by Kate I. Bear, super
visor of home economics with the
state department of vocational edu
cation. Miss Bear, who only recently re
turned from a survey of the southern
part of the state, was particularly
impressed by the work being done by
the vocational home economics girls
in Pirtleville who are serving lunch
eons to teachers daily.
"The entire class goes marketing
for the foods, but after the purchases
are made, the class is divided," said
Miss Bear. "Half of the girls sew
while the remaining half prepare the
luncheon. The following day the
groups exchange places. The teach
ers pay 25 cents for the luncheon."
Miss Bear said that four of the
girls serve and get their own lunch
eon free, two then wash the dishes
and receive 5 cents each for the ser
vice, a new group taking over the
work each week.
"When the girls have made 60 or
75 cents washing dishes, the home
economics teacher goes shopping
with them and helps them select the
materials to be used in the sewing
class.
"Some of the girls have added to
their fund by taking In mending and
doing a bit of cleaning on Saturdays."
Miss Bear was particularly pleased
with the thrift employed by the girls
who dyed old materials which they
made up into skirts to be worn with
middy blouses. An exhibit at the
county fair at Douglas of made-over
garments and clothing made from
flour sacks attracted interest, she
said.
In Tucson, Miami and Bisbee, the
schools furnish material to those who
need it and when garments are made,
the girls may have them upon pay
ment of the cost of the goods. In
the spring a sale is to be held where
garments made by the class will be
offered for sale.

It will take but three days to com
plete the surfacing across the Yuma
mesa, according to Thomas Mad
dock, state engineer, who with E. A.
Wolfe, chief construction engineer of
the state highway department, re
turned yesterday from a road Inspec
tion trip to Yuma county. When the
small stretch is finished the people
of Yuma will have 35 miles of good
road within six or seven miles of
Welton.
The Yuma county highway com
mission has sold its bonds and as
soon as the attorney for the bond
buyers approves the issue, $250,000
will be available for future work.- It
is the intention of the commission
to match this amount with federal
aid to complete the remaining por
tion of the 55-mile highway in the
county.
"With the completion of the Mari
copa, county pavement into' Buckeye,
one-third of the Phoenix-Yuma road
will have been constructed," said
Mr. Maddock, who went over the
road west of Gila Bend toward the
Yuma County line.
"Work on this road will be start
ed as soon as the project has the
approval of the federal engineer. It
was the . first submitted after the
passage of the federal aid bill. There
will be $100,000 available as provided
in the omnibus bill which with fed
eral aid will finance the project."
Mr. Maddock stated that the pres
ent forces" at Blalsdel will move
camp within a few days toward Wel
ton to finish construction work.
Traffic is now crossing the Gillespie
dam on the lower apron, about 30
cars a day going westward on the
Yuma highway, the state engineer
reports.

HERE TO URGE THAT

"I THE LEE HIGHWAY
Dr. S. M. Johnson, general director
of the Lee Highway association, and
M, O. 'fedridge, an executive of the
American Automobile association,
will arrive in Phoenix over the
Apache Trail with Division Engineer
Jim Parker of the state highway de
partment this afternoon for a special
meeting which has been arranged
with representatives of the state and
county and the Phoenix chamber of
commerce.
The meeting has been called with a
view to placing Phoenix on the Lee
highway which Dr. Johnson describes
as the shortest route from Washing
ton, D. C., to the Pacific coast. It is
estimated that this highway will re
duce the transcontinental overland
trip 700 miles. Those behind the
movement for this new highway pre
dict that it will serve the southern
section of the United States as well,
if not better, than the Lincoln high
way now serves the northern states.
That the present administration
may be inclined to favor the uee
highway is indicated to some extent
by its personnel. P. H. Huston, pres
ident of the Lee highway, is assistant
secretary to Herbert Hoover, and CoU
C. O. Sherrill. military aid to the
president, is a member of its execu
tive committee.
The representatives of the Lee
Highway association were met at
Lordsburg, N. M yesterday by Col.
Del M. Potter of Clifton. Arizona,
president of the Southern National
Highway association and Division
Engineer Parker. They had Just
concluded a successful conference
with officials of the El Paso cham
ber of commerce and other repre
sentatives of the Texas City and
state interests.
It is pointed out that this new
highway does not propose to supplant
or eliminate any other, but intends
rather to serve as a valuable addition
to those existing or now under con
struction. If the plans submitted by
the representatives of the Lee high
way find favor here Jt is very prob
able that Phoenix will eventually be

ROTARY CLUB GOES
HER
TO SCHOOL; T
STATE IS SUBJECT
Members of the Phoenix Rotary
club went to school yesterday at
their regular weekly meeting, with
Schoolmaster John D. Loper in the
chair to hear them recite what they
knew about Arizona.
The meeting was the first to be
held in the new banquet room of the
Hotel Adams, the floral decorations
from the Thanksgiving affair of the
previous day making the banquet
room a place of beauty.
The program for the meeting was
an Arizona one, and such questions
as "Name the counties in Arizona"
and "Name the county seats" caused
many Rotarians to stumble. Other
questions concerning the state were:'
How much copper was produced in
Arizona in 1920?
What is the area of the state in
square miles?
How does Arizona rank In size?
What states are larger?
Name the principal products of
Arizona.
What is the acreage of cultivated
land in Arizona?
Name the Indian tribes in Arizona.
John B. Brown, superintendent of
the Phoenix Indian school, gave an
interesting talk in naming the var
ious Indian tribes in the state and
their location and size. Among the
tribes he enumerated are: Maricopa's,
Tumas, Walapais, Navajos, Flutes,
Hopis, Havasa pais. Apaches, pimas,
Papagoes. He gave the present In
dian population of the state as about
42,000.
. P. G. Spilsbury, In a short talk on
asbestos, one of the products of Ari
zona, gave as his opinion that the
asbestos industry in this state never
will attain considerable importance
because of the fact that Canada con
trols the output of the world, the
principal deposits of which are in one
district near Quebec. This deposit
he said produces about 88 per cent of
the world's supply of asbestos. In
1918 this district produced 111,175
tons of asbestos, in the production of
which 3,500,000 tons of rock ' was
broken.
Concerning asbestos In Arizona,
Mr. Spilsbury stated that it is found
in two districts In this state, one at
the Grand Canyon and one in the
Globe district and north of Roosevelt
laks. Both deposits are of the high
er grade and of long fibre, which is
the most valuable.
' "Canada," said Mr. Spilsbury, "al
ways will control the asbestos mar
ket as it has 100 years supply of
rock and it lies on railroad and water

routes and within a few hundred
miles of all the big consumers."
The coming Boy Scout drive on
Monday to raise the budget for the
year 1922 was outlined in brief by W.
C. Hornberger and Dwight B. Heard.
It is time for real work, they de
clared, nd asked the members of
the Rotary club to get behind this
drive and make it the success it de
serves, i
Various members volunteered their
service on one or more of the three
days of the campaign and a list was
made of such workers.
Milton Rasbury played two num
bers on the violin in a masterly man

AFTER IB YEARS HE
RETURNS FOR VISIT
Thomas K. Sloan, general freight
agent of the Union Pacific with
headquarters at Los Angeles, for
merly connected with the Santa Fe
here, is revisiting I'hoenix for the
first time in 18 years.
Mr. Sloan, with several other San
ta Fe men, went to the coast, having
been transferred. Later Mr. Sloan
joined the force of the Los Angeles
& Salt Lake road, and when that
line was recently taken over by the
Union Pacific he was advanced to his
present position.
Mrs. Sloan, a daughter of L, L
Plank, has been visiting in the city
for several weeks. Eighteen years
make a difference in almost any
town, but in the opinion of Mr. Sloan
it makes such a town as Phoenix al
most unrecognizable.

Fifty Phoenix high school boys,
members of the Older Boys club, left

they will attend a three-day confer
ence of state Older Boys clubs. Auto

DEfilY SOiil'S SUIT
OF MISS BALDRICH
WASH0PELESS01E
The grief of Mr. and Mrs. Johp
Schosusen of Tempe over their son,
John H. Schosusen, whose death at
his own hands was announced in an
Associated Press dispatch from
Douglas yesterday, was renderea tne
more bitter by a statement in the
dispatch, attributed to Miss Venice
Baldrich, for love of whom' the young
man killed himself.
"I repeatedly told him," 6he is re
ported to have said, "that I could
never marry him because I did not
love him."
The impression thus given, said his
mother, who with her husband called
at the office of The Republican yes
terday, that he had persistently and
hopelessly followed her was a false
one.
Mrs. Schosusen said that her son
and Miss Baldrich became engaged
last February to be married and that
as late as May Miss Baldrich visited
the home of his parents and asked
them if she would be, welcomed as a
daughter. She was assured of their
love and affection.
Their correspondence for some
time thereafter was regular, but at
length the letters of Miss Baldrich
ceased. Toung Schosusen, fearful
that stie was ill, wrote to her of the
absence of her letters, and she re
plied that she had written almost ,
daily and suggested that perhaps
some one was tampering with their
correspondence.
The young man, his parents said,
had presented his sweetheart with
valuable jewelry, and so well-settled
in his mind was it that they would be
married that he had even purchased
some furniture.
' The young man was well and most
favorably known about Tempe and'
Phoonix. He was formerly an in
structor at Lamson's business college."
His pursuit of an academic course,
was interrupted by his service in
France, and on his return he resumed
it. It was his purpose to take up
the study of medicine.
He was an Indefatigable student,"
As a stepping stone he followed,
teaching. He was principal, not only'
of the school at Lakeside, Navajo
county, but also of another school
about six miles distant, making fre-'
quent Journeys on foot between tbs
two schools. i

"The Hell of war is always paved with proposals for disarmament," remarked a cynical
German admiral when asked his opinion of the Harding-Hughes plan for the reduction of
navies. Through the world-wide chorus of acclaim that greets America's proposal to join with
Great Britain and Japan to scrap nearly two million tons of battleships and to build no more
for ten years sound occasional discordant voices that range from the cynicism of the German
expert in Berlin to the reluctant skepticism of certain sincere friends of disarmament whose
only fear is that our Government's revolutionary program is not drastic enough.
Naval disarmament will not insure peace, asserts Arthur Brisbane, in the hew York
American, because "all Europe and all civilization outside of America can be wiped out from
Russia or Asia with never a man or gun used afloat." The New York Call also "declines to
share in the general rejoicing," because it expects from the Washington Conference "the -same
disillusionment that followed the 'war to end war.' " . -
W. G. McAdoo, former Secretary of the Treasury, avers that "bold, drastic, and cour
ageous measures are required if civilization is to be snatched from the brink of the fateful
chasm upon which it now stands." The Philadelphia Record thinks that "the only mean3 ever
devised for preventing war is the League of Nations, which the United States has thus far re
fused to join," while the Louisville Courier-Journal asserts that "the Conference can reduce
taxation, but it can not insure peace." ... .
There is much enthusiasm in the British press over the proposed arms limitation, -while
in Japan the American proposal is "not far removed from a basis of common understand
ing," according to the Tokyo Asahi. . .
All phases of the arms limitation proposal are shown m the leading article in. lHti
