Tuesday night The association de-
cided to do this because Mr.. Lynch
had always shown a great interest in
New Castle baseball matters, and was
we'll known here. The New Castle
nine always played three or four
games at Lewes every season, and
these games with the Lewes team
were secured through Mr.. Lynch. His
death was a distinct shock to New
Castle people, especially TO the base
ball men.
Given a clean track and a light load
Of passengers, the trolley cars on the
Wilmington-New Castle line can give
automobiles an exciting race There
are two or three stretches Of smooth.
level track on the route where stops
are rare, that offer a fine straight
away, and occasionally the motormen
take advantage Of this, and il there
happens TO be an automobile hum
ming along side the trolley at this
point the motorman is apt to give
his car the full current as a sly in
vitation to the motorist TO show what
his car can do. Nine times out of ten
the challenge is taken and an ex-
citing run of half a mile or so IS
made. II the highway were smooth
and level, the trolley cars would
stand no chance with the automobiles,
but because of the inequalities in the
roadbed a high rate OF speed cannot
be maintained by the automobile
drivers with safety, and it is not al
ways that the trolley cars are beat
en-. One particularly inviting stretch
is the half-mile or so Of track just
south of Holloway Terrace.

HAYDEN WILL GIVE
ARIZONA 100000 ACRES

Congressman Hayden has intro
duced bill in congress for the pur-
pose of making Arizona donation of
100000 acres of land, the proceeds to
apply on good roads of the state.
The bill is as follows:
Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the Unit
ed States of America in congress
assembled: That there is hereby
granted and conveyed to the state of
Arizona one million acres of unre-
served, non-mineral, surveyed public
lands lying within said state, the pro-
'ceeds of the sales shall be used solely
for the purpose of constructing, re-
pairing and maintaining public roads
and highways.
Section 2. That said lands shall be
selected under the authority and di-
rection of the state land department
Of said state within three years after
the passage and approval of this act,
and the secretary of the interior is
hereby authorized and directed to is
sue patents to the state of Arizona
as soon as the selection or designa-
ton thereof has been certified to him
by the governor of said state, the des-
ignation to be made by legal subdi-
vision of the public land surveys.
Section 3. That the lands herein
granted shall be after issuance of
patent, by the proper authorities of
said state, at not less than So per
acre and not in greater area than six
sections or three thousand eight hun

under such rules and regulations for
the disposition thereof as may be
provided by the legislature of the

Dame RUMOR H0BNOBS
WITH Mr.. PERSONAL US

Under the personal use" decision
of the State Supreme court, various
kinds of drinkable of amber hue
commonly known as booze, will be
accepted for shipment into Arizona
by railroads, according to authorita-
tive reports from Phoenix. Thous-
ands of Arizonans who have been
running around with their tongues
hanging out and longing for a quart
of good OF Bud" are receiving the
news with whoops of joy.
Railroad officials refuse to discuss
the subject, but Dame Rumor has
been gosiping quite bit lately, and
she claims that all roads running in
to Arizona will soon accept anything
marked personal use" The rail
roads were rather dubious of the
courts decision at first but are re-
ported to be gradually coming
around" and willing to carry the stuff
that Mr. Bacchus used in his enter
tainments about 5,67S B. C.
The action of the railroads in car
rying personal use" freight will not
be opposed, according to the reports.
but it will not be considered good
form for any one man to order more
than a carload Of the wet stuff for
personal use"

fabrication Important Factor
In Keeping Motor Oil

"The question of lubricating oil is
directly connected with that of cool
ing" says Mechanical Bulletin No. 8
entitled Engine Overheating," got
ten out recently by the Standard Oil
Company"
"Lubricating oil dissipates the heat
Of friction generated by the pistons
in the cylinders. If the lubricating
oil does not perform its duty correct
ly, the heat of friction is added to
that of the fuel, and the cooling me-
dunn win not be sufficient to keep the
temperature of the motor at the point
of efficiency.
"If the body of the oil in the system
is depleted through long use and i'm
pregnable with particles of metal,
carbon and dirt, it will produce a
high coefficient of friction, and over
HEATING will result. Hence the i'm
portance Of systematic draining of
the crank case and oil reservoir.
"If an oil of incorrect body is used
it will cause overheating. Incorrect
body mems that when the oil comes
in contact with the hot cylinder walls,
its body will partially or wholly break
down and allow the metals to come in
contact, resulting in an excessively
high coefficient Of friction and possible
abrasion. Incorrect BODY also means
that If too heavy an oil is used, it
will not reach the wearing surface
fast enough, and excessive friction
will result, which will overhead the
motor in addition to causing undue
wear"
MANY motor authorities declare.
and the experience of the majority of
Pacific Coast motorists bears it out,
that oil made from western asphalt
base crude keeps it's lubricating quail
ties longer at cylinder heat. and
therefore gives better results"

BELIEVES A new Rig
HOTEL WILL Be SUCCESS
May 26, 1916
way 20,
Mr.. F. S. Breen,
Editor, Coconino Snu.


Dear Sir:
In reference to Mr. Bikker's letter
in your issue of today concerning a
stock company hotel for Flagstaff, the
writer engages himself to take at
least one share Of stock in the enter
prise when it is offered for sale, and
as many more as his circumstances
at the time will permit. He makes
no conditions; but he does venture to
suggest that mere appropriate de-
sign could be. selected than the one
shown in local store window. The
style of architecture there depicted
is not especially beautiful in any
case, and when executed Gas it must
be here) under limitations of time
and money it is rather the reverse,
A simple American design, without
any burden Of architectural fretwork,
would better suit the spirit of Flag
staff and the grandeur of our Arizona
scenery. This is not Switzerland
and type Of building which is ap-
propriate and expected in the Alps
would be quite otherwise in Coconino
county.
Nevertheless, and regardless of its
design, the writer is for the new
hotel; and if every Flagstaff booster
will support the project, financially
in proportion to his means and orallv
to the extent of his ability, it will
soon be in operation.
Very truly yours,
E. N. THUSIASTIC.

MODERN ADAM ON ARCH ST.
Discovered by Woman Calmly Sleep
 ing in Doorway.

Wearing little excepting his birth day suit and a look of perfect peace, Edward O'Dell of Hartford, was dis covered sleeping in an outer hallway of the Muller building on Arch street this afternoon by Mrs. Harry A. liar greaves of that address. Awakened by her as she opened the outer door of her apartments, he hastily dressed and sprinted for the street while Mrs HargreaVes used as much haste in getting in touch with Chief William J. Rawlings at police headquarters,
 Aroused by the report that mod ern Adam was using New Britain as his Garden of Eden, Policeman Will liam P. McCue and Policeman Mat thias Rival were rushed to the scene in the patrol. O'Dell was several blocks away by that time, making as fast time as as he could towards the railroad station with clothing threat ening to fall off at every step. Po- liceman McCue captured him after a long chase in which he made a rec ord for the 100 yard dash. O'Dell was lodged in a cell charged with in toxication. An additional charge of breach of the peace may be brought later. He is said to be the same Ed ward O'Dell who made sensational escape about a year ago from Man chester policeman while being taken l to jail.

Continued from First Page.D

The name, age and address of the 16 slated for appointment follows:
 w. J. Bollman, 35, of 59 Ellis street; Carl E. Carlson, 34, 16 Com mercial street; G. c. Sparmer, 3s, 1914 North street; c. R. Rehm, 40, 91 Meadow street: G. M. Mycroft, 43, 759 East street; G. J.

Wolff, 3S, Ii Green wood street
 Of this number the first six have been doing regular duty, having been temporarily assigned because of the need of more men to man the reg ular apparatus.
 Although members of the safety board are reticent relative to the recommendations until they are acted on by the council, it is learned that increasing the permanent force by four or five more men at the earliest opportunity is favored and would likely be done at once, if the men were eligible under civil service rules.
 Increase Call Force to 42.
 Recommendations will include pro- visions for an adequate call force un til there are sufficient permanent men available. An increase so that the call force will number AZ is suggest ed and provisions made so that they will respond to first alarms, instead of waiting for second alarms. By having sufficient men on the scene at the start it is believed that dangerous fires will be checked before they have an opportunity to get beyond control.
 With the new appointments, it is felt that there will be sufficient number of men to organize a new company, when the proposed new fire house in the southwest part of the city becomes a reality.
 There was discussion of the need of a new and modern fire alarm sys- tenn. It will not be asked for for some time as it is felt that other things are more urgently needed.

Before the end of the first half hour pressure provoked general irregular ity, United States Steel reacting al- ] most two points, with unsettlement l in other active stocks.
 1 Selling of the weaker issues of the forenoon was resumed after midday, steel, leather alcohol and shipping shares bearing the brunt of the at tack. Standard shares, including rails also shaded appreciably.
 Closing-Support seemed utterly lacking in the final hour, when new low records were reached all around. Bethlehem Steel fell seventy two points on one sale. The closing was weak.

VIEW OF LIFE CONVENTION

Berlin, ec. 20.-The impulse Of the Germans to organize for every possible purpose and hold national gatherings has not been checked by the war
 The other day a little national con- vention was held at Lauterberg, a simmer resort in the Harz Mountains. the like of which has never been heard of in any other country. It was a 'VieW-of-life convention" :" livery German who makes any intel lectua1 pretensions at all feels/that he must have his "Weltanschauung," or view of life, his theory as to the gov ernment of the universe and man S place in it. Acting in this spirit a small coterie of professors decided to hold this unique convention and read papers on the different aspects of the philosophy of life. Papers were read . sn .'The principal views of life in the Heading civilized nations and, Ger many's cultural mission,' and 'The views of life of our classical writers. > One hundred and fifty persons from all parts of the empire were present.

Cut Prices for Christmas.

Instead of waiting until January for the customary reduction of prices, Charles Dillon & company have in-. stilled some of the real Chrsstn2 as spirit into their Christmas trade by making a pre-noliday cut in the price of coats, suits, dresses and other store deals. A glance at the crowd in the store any afternoon at once dispeIs the notion that any shrinkage in the demand is responsible for the reduction; and MT. Dillon las ex.. pIained that the ccnpany's motive is to show its appreciation for the loyal patronage for it's customers dur ing the year. The company is doing an unusually large business, and fol- lows the theory that it is better to make 9 certain profit on two coats than to make the same profit on one. on the ground that two satisfied customers are @ better advertisement in the long run than one. Every coat is marked down at least 0 quarter to a third in price.
 But the great demand of Christmas shoppers has been for the Dillon gloves, of which there is a complete, varied and high grade line. Gloves and furs are among the specialties to which particular attention is given
 The Dillon store has also silk-lined Mocha gloves and an assortment of fancy two-toned embroidered kid gloves, in the newest shades. not to mention extremely longwristed wool en gloves for women and children in gray or white, admirably suited for skating, sleigh rides, and so on.
 Another speciality of this store is furs, of which there is a great va riety in stock, at unusually low prices.
 The millinery departm is one of the busiest in the store just now. The company is making up many hats of fine quality, with a dash and verve and individuality all their own.
 A complete line of suits and coats is being sold out :apidly at reduced prices.---advt.

 Was Mrs. Fair.

Bridgeport, Dec. 20.--The state in the criminal superior court today took further steps to establish the identity of the body found in Darien and which it claims is the corpse of Margaret Fair, for whose death Will liam F. Fair and Jack DevereauX are being tried on manslaughter charges. Nellie Haywood, of Albany, was called by the state. She testified that in 1913 and 1914, she had been em- ployed as a maid in the house where Mrs. Fair lived.
 She identified articles of clothing found at the time the body was dis covered. She declared the shoes, hat, corsets and feathers had all belonged to Mrs. Fair. Dr. Alfred c. Morgan, of Utica, identified gold crown in the skeleton as one he had put on for Mrs Fair. He identified the teeth as belonging to her.
