WILL FLOOD FIELD
TO PERMIT COASTING

Bob-sleddfng. on Roosevelt hill has
been a popular sport with the east
end Youngsters and their elders for
several weeks, but the recent thaw
put an end to the sport. Devotees of
this exhiierating pastime, however,
are already making arrangements for
a continuance of the sport as soon as
the weather is favorable, and to that
end they petitioned Mayor Robbins
today 10 have the hill flooded just as
soon as the next cold wave put in its
appearance.
"Coasting is great sport and / will
do what can to boost II" said the
mayor. and he at once dictated let
ter to the board of public works ask
ing that fire department company be
detailed to Glen Miller with the ad
vent of the next cold wave to flood
Roosevelt hill SO that an ice founda-
tion could be provided for the
coasters. -

COLLECTED As
6O-DAYS WORK

Total delinquent tax collections in
Wayne county since the first Monday
in November amount to s16,10e SO.
This was found today when all books
at the county treasurer's office were
footed. The special collectors and
the treAsurer's fees are not contained
in the above amount
During 1916, retiring Treasurer
Ctamness collected s45.0O0 in back
taxes and during his four years in
office he collected $111,Ss3.97. This
sets a new record.
For their services here during
December, Warden Snderson's special
delinquent tax collectors received
s., 1892. For demand fees during this
time, the county treasurer received
1855. in addition to the percentage
granted him by law.
The city Of Richmond will realize be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 from the col.
lections during the last month.

PASSENGER TRAFFIC
AGAIN SWAMPS ROADS;
FREIGHT is HEAVY

Railroads resumed their abnormal
holiday passenger traffic Saturday,
Sunday and Monday. Travellers were
ending Christmas trips, making New
Years journeys and returning to their
places of duty.
Despite the holidays, freight busi-
ness continued to be so heavy that it
was almost impossible to furnish en-.
gines and crews for hauling the trains.
Freights have been given precedent
over many local passenger trains in
order to get crews into terminals with.
out undue loss Of time which would
prevent them from getting out again
before requiring period OF rest.

"In the name OF Europe appeal to

This is the concluding sentence of a
remarkable open letter to President
Wilson by Bertrand Russell, English
publicist and author. The letter was
brought to the United States by spe-
ciaI messenger, the identity of whom
is mystery, and smuggled past the
British censor. Bertrand Russell, who
is grandson of Lord John RUSSELL
has incurred the dispIeasure of the
English government because of hi,
Ieanings toward peace and his activ'
ties with that object in view. He has
been refused permission to leave Eng

A MODERN CHRISTMAS CAROL

By John R. Terms And now the Christmastide draws
 near,
 I decorate my car with holly, I place some gewgaws there and here And spruce the tumbril up, by
 golly, Though kith and kin reflect that I Am quite devoid of normal reason, I purpose that my boat shall fly These earmarks of the festive sea-
 son. For 1 intend on Christmas Day To visit some decrepit shanty Where little tots await a jay To introduce himself as Santy; And I'll explain my reindeer team, Supplanted by this horseless wizard. Got stalled along the Saturn Stream And languish in a White Way bliz-
 gard. Thus having ranked my mortal soul Along with that of Ananias, Some building blocks and horns I'll
 dole
 And dresses cut upon the bias. Producing then some custly spuds, A sprig of sage, g. pair of chickens, I'll finger for my diamond studs And drive away to beat the dickens. So everyone who owns boat, Of gray, or black, or blue, or yellow To some less lucky brood should tote The gift-heons of the Goodly Eel

 torn
 Accepted as a cosmic fairy, You'll have a right to toot your horn If some pedestrians unwaryi

THE MOTOR CAR IN WINTER

Many motorists are just beginning to discover that the motor car is an all-year- r-around vehicle. Why put your car up at the first freeze, let your investment stand idle, and sui fer the inconvenience caused by the lack of quick transportation? Your car is easily protected against freez- ing If it will pull through sand it will pull through snow.
 On water cooled cars the cooling system may be protected against freezing by the use of a non freezing solution. Many effective solutions are on the market, but any motorist may make one for himself with little denatured alcohol. If you will drain from your radiator one quarter of the liquid contents of your cooling system, and then fill with denatured alcohol you will have mixture that will not freeze until the temperature touches zero. A mixture with a freezing point of five below is formed by using 30 per cent alcohol and 70 per cent water. A mixture of 40 per cent alcohol and 50 per cent water freezes at twenty below zero.
 The difficulty with an alcohol mix ture is that it deteriorates rapidly, because the alcohol evaporates more quickly than water Unless you have some means of testing the solution the safe way is to replace the losses from evaporation with pure alcohol

ming of cold weather calls for clothing and fuel are becoming more and more frequent.
 Realizing that with scores of worthy causes calling for financial aid it will be more difficult to obtain sufficient supplies of food and clothing to meet the local situation, Adjutant Shearer has issued a special appeal to all the people of Phoenix to assist in the work of the Salvation Army this Christmas. The army, in accordance with it's GUS tom, is planning to distribute 100 bas- kets of food to 100 needy families, as well as the annual Christmas tree dis tribution of 800 Christmas stockings 10 500 children who wOGld otherwise have practically no Christmas at all. In addition to the food distribution, the army plans to distribute fuel, clothing and supplies to families that may be in extreme need of these com modities.
 The big Christmas tree that will stand in the lobby of the Adams hotel, and around which much of the cele- bration will take place, has been shipped and is expected to arrive early this week. As soon as it has been in- stalled there will begin the work of plling at it's base the donations which The people of the city and valley are being called upon to provide

NOVEL APPEAL.
 MADE SHOPPERS

Don't have it sent. Carry it home if you can. Deliveries require men and cost money-Your Country Needs Both. Be Patriotic"
 Cards with the foregoing punch" are being displayed in stores and busi- ness Houses throughout Phoenix. They are hung where the customer cannot fail to see them. They are printed in red and blue on white cardboard The whole is surmounted by bright Amer ican flag
 There is an appeal to the better side of the patriotic citizen in these cards. The dealer explains that the appeal is made to the customer, not alone for the benefit of the business house, but for the benefit of the. customer, too. It does not convey an impression of un- willingness on the part of the merchant to consider the convenience of the cus- toner, but is straightforward presen- tation of the fact that with the reduc- ion of delivery expense there can come like reduction in cost of commodities to the customer. And patriotic citi- zens generally are falling in with the spirit of the message and are making their own deliveries whenever possible.

yesterday. and from now on will con tinue jingling until Christmas day. Christmas shoppers are asked to re- member the slogan, Keep the pot boil ing" and to act accordingly.
 One of the features of the Christ mas preparations of the Salvation Army is the gathering of canned goods and groceries by the pupils of the pub lie schools. Each year there is friendly contest among the various schools of the city to see which will contribute the most to the cause. Next Friday is the day set for the assem- bling at the various buildings of the contributions of canned goods, grocer ies and fruits of all kinds, as well as clothing that may be spared to allevi- qte the suffering of those in need.
