SWASTIKAS GIVE BIG
 MASQUERADE BALL

. One of the most successful dances, both financially and in attendance, ever given in Williams was the masquerade given last Saturday night at Silvernail hall by the SwaS- tika Dancing club. Fully 150 cou- pies were present, the hall being crowded to such an extent that dancing was difficult.
 The hall was tastefully decorated with American and Spanish flags and as one entered the hall the first thing to greet the eye was the hand some emblem of the club.
 Prizes were awarded as follows; For the best lady's costume, repre- senting a cowgirl, Mrs, Jesus Qui- jada was awarded the first prize.
 Mrs. Quijada's little son, dressed as an Indian, also won first prize in the little ones class.
 1gnaclo f1guerOa, dressed as a tramp, was easily the winner of the first prize in the gentlemen's class.
 Miss Josie Ransom, representing "Liberty," and Miss Levario, dress ed as a Japanese girl, carried off prizes in the little girls class.
 A number of other prizes were awarded, but we were unable to as certain the names of the fortunate parties. Many beautiful costumes were to be seen and it was a hard piece of work on the part of the judges to select the winners.
 The management of the cluh stated that the receipts were more than $50.

BAD FREIGHT WRECK
 IN THE WEST YARDS

A freight wreck occurred Tues day noon in the Santa Fe yards near the brewery which luckily did not have a fatal ending for either of the engine crews. Engineer Dave Parker, however, was quite seri- ously injured. Dr. Melick dressed his wounds and Parker was sent to Los Angeles on No. g for further treatment.
 Engine S62, manned by Engineer Parker and Frank Nelson, fireman. had coupled onto two cars of lum- Der on the Saginaw siding and was backing up the grade around the curve and had just reached the main line when west bound freight No. 33, engine 1920, with Engineer Carlton in the cab, backed by a heavy train, smashed into Parker's engisrL
 The terrific impact knocked the tender tank up against the boiler head, forcing S62 back about cars length, which caused the engine to nearly turn over. The roadbed was torn up and several of the heavy rails were bent and twisted as though they were mere pipe stems.
 Just fraction of a second before the crash Fireman Nelson saw the impending collision and yelled to Parker to jump. Both men jumped for their lives, Nelson out through the side and Parker through the cab window, Nelson landing safely on his feet, but Parker fell in the cinders on his head, lacerating his face severely. Several of his teeth were loosened, the end of his nose gouged off, right wrist sprained and he was otherwise shaken up.
 Engine 1920 was hauled to the roundhouse in crippled condition and the 862 was sent to Winslow

SHOT GUN CLUB
 HANDICAP CONTEST

WMuch merriment and enthusiasm was manifest at the Williams Shot gun club handicap contest last Sun day, occasioned by the fact that the shooters nearly to a man were shooting way out of form and miss ing seemingly easy birds, much to the merriment of the assembled crowd of spectators. However, the members took the joking and laugh ter in good part. After the score had been tallied up it was found that seven members had made a perfect score with their handicap added andithe tie was shot off ac- cording to the rules, miss and out.
 The tie shoot off caused more ex- citement than the regular contest one man after another would finally miss his bird and retire, leaving Marshal Patterson and Chas. Wade to fight it out for the special prize of a handsome silver spoon. Wade manageable stick the longest and was awarded the prize.
 Kirkpatrick, Ortt and Lindgren also shot off a tie for previous contest, the former also winning a spoon.

Williams Walloped 6 to 5

The Williams baseball boys jour- neyed to Flagstaff last Sunday and from all reports played one of the finest and one of the cleanest games Flagstaff has ever witnessed, it talk ing the Flagstaff boys twelve in nings of good hard work to defeat them, the score being 6 to 5.
 The Flagstaff people were well pleased with the game, and Fred Lynch, manager of the Flagstaff club, made the day very pleasant for our boys.
 The feature of the game was the pitching by Young, for Williams. Young started the game without any previous practice, and should be given great credit for his steady playing for the twelve innings. Cap Kline was receiving Young. Great credit should also be given Mullen. left fielder for Flagstaff, for his high dive, and robbing Chas. Elliott of a home drive.
 The Flagstaff boys will play re- turn game here on Sunday, May 18th, and the support of Williams people is earnestly requested. They can be assured of witnessing a fine game, as the boys are going to do their level best to even up their de- feat.
 There will be game tomorrow between the Williams team and the Saginaw Swastika team. Game will be called at 2:30 pm.

YOU CAN MAKE WASHING EASY
There VIII Be No After Aches u the
TUBS Are Only Placed
High Enough.

The washday is often spoken OF as
blue Monday" because II Is usually a
day Of hard work. followed by days
OF recovery from such aches as wom-
an thinks her due. Now. Il has been
definitely proved. says J. Howard
Frick. Instructor OF Medical correction
gymnastics In the Samaritan hospital
Of Germantown. according to the New
York Tribune. that washing clothes
has nothing to do with making wom-
an feel gloomy, but that the way she
does II has all to do with her after
health.
The most common complaint OF
women after a days washing Is the
terrible backache which almost COM
pels them to go to bed. This is some
times followed by headache in the
middle Of the head and behind the
eyes. which often last for days Now,
what is the cause OF these after ef-
fects? Certainly ordinary work should
not entail such after sufferlngs. The
whele cause is the position Of the
woman while working over the tubs.
The majority OF wash benches are too
low and the woman must stoop over
while at work. This causes The mus
cles OF the abdomen to relax, which al
lows the stomach. liver, kidneys. and.
in fact, all the organs, to fall forward
out Of their normal positions, caus-
ing the terrible after effects OF such
work.
The proper position before a tub Is
a perfectly erect position. Here 1t Is
impossible for the abdominal organs
to fall out Of position. as the .abdom-
inal wall is tense, as II should be when
in the erect position.
Another point of value In the erect
position is the fact that the wringing
Of the clothes is much easier. since
the whole force OF the arm can be
used without having to exert an effort
to keep the erect position.
The lifting of the tubs is an entire
ly unnecessary labor. When they are
not of the stationary kind they can
be emptied by means Of a siphon.
