One on the J. P.

An amusing incident occurred in Justice Rounsevelle's court a short time ago. A representative of the Scandinavian peninsula was before the court testifying in case where the offender was accused of hurling a stone of greater or less di men sions.
 "What were the dimen sions of the stone?" asked the prosecuting atterney-
 A puzzeled stare and shake of the head were the only replies.
 Seeing that the Ollie did not com prehend the attorney tried again, "What was the diameter or cir conference of the stone" he ques- toned. No sabe, was still written across the witness's face.
 Other attempts by the attorney to gain the desired information only confused the Sweed SO much more. At last the squire tried his hand at e,iciting the desired facts.
 "See here,' demanded the Jus tice, Twas the stone as large as my fist?"
 "Yaas I tank it bin larger" ans wered Olie.
 ''Well, was it as large as my two fists?" continued the judge.
 "Yaas I tank it bin larger, " again answered the Swede.
 Was it as large as my head?'' asked R 'unseville finally.
 Sweden deliberated a mo ment and then replied, "Yaas, tink it bin longer, but not so tick"

The Best Town

One man who called at the News office last week said, in substance, Don't make your articles about disturbances of the peace too strong. Don't make it look as tho person can't get off train in Williams without being shot. Articles of that kind hurt business.
 This man, we take it, must have spoken in what our high school teachers used to call, hyperbole- exaggeration for effect. Of course he did not think the News had painted Williams as place where the sun is continually clouded by flying bullets. He did mean to say, tho, that in his judgment, it would be better to say less about night disturbances, in our paper for he knew we had had no occas- ion to comment on day disturban- ces.
 Getting down to brass tacks, which hurts bueiness more, the night disturbances themselvcs or the informing of the public thru the press, of the occurrence of these same disturbances? And, further, which will the more effectively and permanently aid business, the su- pression of the publication of the facts, or the stopping of the dis turb bances?
 As an aside. let us remark, we have learned of no night disturbances outside of the attempted burglary mentioned on the first page, occur ing for the last two weeks. Williams is not a BAD town. In fact, it is better than many of the other towns along the Santa Fe. But that is not enough. The News wants to see Williams the BEST town in northern Arizona. To be- come such we must maintain strict order. To publish the facts about breaches of the peace, is to rouse public sentiment to putting a stop to them. To fail to publish such facts is to help conceal the offen- d+rs and permit lawleesness to flour ish under cover.
 Some towns may wiring out a form of prosperity by hiding truth and making themselves ap- pear what they are not, but the town that is truly and permanently
Williams news., 1914-01-22

prosperous is the town that has nothing to hide, that tolerates noth- ing of which it is ashamed. Such we hope Williams may become.
 Concealment stimulates lawless. ness; publicity checks it. Publicity will prove one of the peoples best allies in making Williams the best town in northern Arizona.

PUT BAD LUNG IN "SPLINT"
New Cure, Involving Use of Air and
Airpump, Investigated by Fed
eral Health Service.

Washington.--A new method Of
treating tuberculosis is being inyesti
gated by the public health service
through experiments at Fort Stanton
N. NJ, and officials of the service said
they hoped for important results. The
method is known as artificial or in
dueed pneumo-thorax Air is pumped
into the patients pleural cavity every
day or two to maintain pressure, and
the results watched by means of K
rays to ascertain the extent to which
the diseased lung is compressed. The
lung, figuratively. is put into an "air
splint' and nature given a chance to
cure. The reports so far tell only OF
the progress of the experiments, and
the officials, while optimistic, said 1t
was too early to prophesy. They are
inclined to believe, however, that 1t
may prove effective in any stage OF
disease.
