termining the correct solution to the
puzzle last Saturday on the NEWS
proverb page, although several con-
testants perseyered and secured the
correct answer. Others failed,
which diminishes the ranks gradu-

The Deiches Store, at 400 State

last Saturday vas scanned more
closely, perhaps. because OF the APP
proach of Christmas. The hidden

this fashion, although other inter-
preted the key In the center of the

are Ave more weeks remaining, In
which the proverb contest will be

A bitter attack on the judiciary recall
provision in the Arizona constitution was
made in the House yesterday by Repre-
sentative Legare. Of South Carolina. a
Democrat. Mr.. Legare denounced the
proposal for. the recall Of the judiciary
as "the rankest kind Of political heresey,"
and ''as socialism gone mad" He in
sisted that such a recall proposition
would be invoked by buns. thugs,
loafers, drunks, and sneak thieves"
working infinite mischief to every COM
munity and State in which 1t operated.
He predicted that the recall of the ju-
dietary. working nationally. would lead
to anarchy and revolution.
Mr.. Legare told how the recall plan
had worked In a town out West. The
mayor of the town had stopped a prize
fight, whereupon the spectators signed a
petition for his recall. This was done, i"
declared Mr. Legare, with great earnest
ness, ''in the face Of the fact that the
law Of the community expressly prohib-
tied such encounters. Here was an off,
cial endeavoring to enforce the law

sirable element Of the community"
