Had the regulation ma.sk not heen universal, tho "flu" mask would have )een comic yesterday. In ordinary times the mask would have heen Jauu-hed to scorn, hut yesterday it was a'Trptcd as the usual part of a day's routine. For the influenza ma.sk had crime into its own and claimed all Phoenix for its home. So Ion? as the influenza' epidemic lives in Phoenix, the influenza mask will be at its side. Masks Appear Early At K o'clock yesterday morning the u-'l-r making it a misdemeanor to ap pear in public without, a mask went into effect. After that hour virtually every man, woman and child in 1 lie c ity donned a mask before leaving home and wore them throughout the day. Probably some persons went further and wore them all night, too. .Men met on a downtown street, and looked at each other with suspicion, then started on and looked around. "Hello, Jim.'' one would say, and the two would clasp hands. "Didn't know i on." Uvery sort of mask could be seen on ihe streets yesterday. .Men cautiously L fc&." Wz z- J 1 1 4l Lit I TFJ SUPT.G. 0.

Rockwell, who has been a resident of Phoenix and vicinity for several years, is a Yale man and was captain of the Yale football team. He came to the vallev to engage in citrus growing. Immediately alter the United States entered the war he went south to enter an aviation camp, but later went overseas for the Red Cross. Irving deR.

After a few trials at eating with the mask on. masks were permanently discarded in restaurants by diners, although the waiters clung to them religiously. Brisk Gauze Trade In the stores everyone wore masks, though many women complained they were stifling. This led to rumors that some women had fainted in stores, al though this could not be confirmed.

Acknowledged the standard Army Shoe on the Coast and small wonder : " Extra Service Every Step Comfort Every Minute" That's why it is being worn by thousands of men in all walks of life- gauze and ready-made masks was re ported by practically all drug and dry goods stores. In most cases the supply was equal to the demand. Several hundred masks were made by the local branch of the Red Cross and distributed to various drug stores, though the Red Cross was hampered by a lack of work ers. In addition, most of the drus: stores selling masks had supplies of their own. made by private individuals. Thousands of masks were made at home, and dry goods stores had a heavy demand for gauze. No shortage of gauze was apparent last night, and it was generally thought there would be plenty of hath material and masks for the duration of the mask order. Arrests Start Today No arrests were made yesterday of the very' few violators of the influenza mask order. There might have been some .who did not know of the new rule until they reached the downtown section, the officials said, and there fore the first day went by without ar rests. But beginning this morning, all vio lators ot the mask order will be ar rested. City Manager Thompson said last night. There will be no excep tions, it was insisted. Kvery person who appears on the street must be wearing a mask. The police department will co-operate with the citizens' committee today in making the wearing of masks com pulsory. It was announced that the penalty for violation of this order will be $100 fine or 30 days' imprisonment: or both. In City, 599 Cases A grand total of 5i9 cases of influ enza iu the city, including 109 in hos pitals, was reported last night, an in crease of one case over tho preceding day. The. report of new cases, how ever, showed decided improvement, there being only 31, against Wl Tues day. The seemintr increase was eanseH quarantine yesterday, against 6. the day before. In actual fact, the influ enza epidemic improved. o E Yhen Miss Celeste Thomas, a pretty stenographer in the office of the sec retary of state, failed to report for duty last Saturday the secretary staff arrived at the natural conclusion that Miss Thomas had the flu. Her continued absence, which brought no word from the family concerning her illness, caused alarm and yesterday repeated inquiries brought out the fact that the young woman had eloped with John Quid, whose bride she be came in Florence on Saturday after noon. The elopement was the most novel one on record, in that the eloping couple was chaperoned by the bride elect's parents, Mr. and Mrs. ('. M Thomas. Mr. and Mrs. Quid, left at once for Miami where they will make their home for the present. Mrs. Quid, who is the niece of Dr. John is Thomas, came here a year ago from Michigan. An unusually de lightful personality and pleasant man ner has made her a legion of friends during her twelve-months' stay ii Phoenix. There were many expres sions of surprise when word of the marriage leaked out at the state house yesterday, for none of her associates had been taken into the secret. Mr. Quid is an accountant whose business will require his presence in Gila county during the early winter months. Th,at the teachers of public schools in Arizona which have been closed for so mffiy weeks on account of the epidemic of Spanish influenza should receive full pay, regardless of whether the schools were open or not, is the opinion of C. O. Case, state superintendent of public instruction, and that ho also believes that the laws of the state provide for full payment of salaries, will be good news to the many teachers who have j been seriously inconvenienced through ! the closing of the schools and the non- payment of salaries. j With reference to the right of the j teachers to receive their full pay for ; the time the schools are closed because j of the epidemic. Superintendent Case ; makes tho following statement: j Should Have Full Pay "Hard conditions occasioned by an j unusual epidemic have closed, for an ! extended period, tho public schools of 1 Arizona, and these conditions, over which teachers of this state have no i control, have suspended the services of j the teacbers, at the same time holding them liable to resumption o service at any time. "I feel in all justice to the teachers that their full salaries should be al lowed for the period during which the schools may be closed on account of the epidemic. It is also my opinion that, as a matter of law, unless otherwise stipulated by contract, that no deduc tion can be made from teachers' sala ries during the time the schools may be closed on account of the epidemic. No Desire to Cut Salaries I am not aware that there is any tendency on the part of school boards m Arizona to deduct from the salaries of the teachers because of the prevail ing iiiiiucn.a; inn, wiieiuei ui noi. mis tendency prevails, I deem it my duty to slate my views in the matter. "Dr. J. W. Crabtree, secretary of the National Education association, has written me advising that in no state have teachers' salaries been increased to keep pace with the increased cost of living, that it is exceedingly difficult for them to. make ends meet and that tho National Education association is advocating that teachers should suffer no reduction of salaries for the loss of time occasioned by the closing of schools or be required to use their va cations in making up time. Fear Appropriation Loss "Inquiries are coming to my office regarding the eight months' school term required by law, some, districts being apprehensive of losing their next year's appropriation of school moneys through a possible failure of maintaining the required term.

While paragraph 2821, Re vised Statutes of Arizona, 1913, pre scribes that no apportionment of school moneys may be made to any school district in the state which has not maintained a public school for at least seven months during the preced ing school year, the same paragraph protects a school district in case of an epidemic by also prescribing that no district which is prevented by fire, flood or prevailing epidemic from main- Fordsosi Tractor Demonstration postponed from last Monday on account of the weather, will be held Friday, November 29th, From 9 to 5 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29th, FROM 9 TO 5, at the Fred Fullen Ranch, the S.

BROWN, Distributor, 316-18 East Washington St. LATEST ROAD NEWS Roads all over Arizona, with the exception cf the paved highways, are in pretty bad shape. This condition is due some to lack of repair, which was for a time almost nil, but the rains have temporarily ruined even those roads which were in fair condi tion previously. However motorists ara confident that even though the rain has for a time put the roads in bad condition, the highways will be freed from dust and will present a better surface to the tires of automobiles after the sun drys up the worst of the mud. Travel has been curtailed to a great extent by the influenza. Local garages report that very few, automobiles have been coming through from the east or from the Pacific coast. Those few who are, going across country, are taking the Parker cut-off in preference to all other roads to the coast.
