WEATHER REPORT FOR
 DECEMBER IN ARIZONA

Practically no snow fell in the mountains of Arizona until the 24th of December. On that date a storm of considerable severity swept over the state, continuing intermittently until the 28th. The ground was dry and generally unfrozen, poorly pre- pared for the retention of snowfall for late melting. Amounts were much below that for December, 1915, and generally considerably below the average for the years of record. Fol lowing the storm referred to compa- ratively high daylight temperatures prevailed during the remainder of the month so that by the 31st the snow covering in all sections was greatly reduced.
 During the storm referred to snow fell at unusually low attitudes, reach ing as low as the Salt River Valley the altitude of which is approximately HOO feet. By the end of the month the snow line on the watershed of the Little Colorado River had receded to 5000 feet on northerly slopes and to $500 feet on slopes facing south. Depths ranged from inches at coco feet to two feet as 5000 feet, general ly less than the average.
 On the watershed of the Colorado River the snow line at the end of the month ranged from 5000 to 6,500 feet on slopes facing north and averaged about $500 feet on slopes facing south. Depths were less than normal, ranging from 8 inches at an altitude of 6,500 feet to 12 inches at 7,500 feet.
 Less snow than usual fell on the watershed of the Verde River during the month. By the 31st the snow line on slopes facing south had receded to 5000 feet and to $500 feet on oppos- ing slopes. A depth of 20 inches near the Clear Creek Ranger Station was the greatest reported.
 The snow line on the high eleva- tions of the Augua Fria at the end of the month was the lowest in the state, descending on slopes facing north to an altitude of 5000 feet but consider ably higher on opposite slopes. Depths ranging from IA to IF inches were re- ported on northerly slopes while an average depth of 10 inches was re- ported on slopes facing south.
 The monthly snow survey made in the Sierra Ancha Mountains discov- cred substantial depths at attitudes ranging from 5,400 to 6,000 feet, but less than noraml at highest eleva- tions. Observers in the Tonto Basin and on the upper Salt report average snow depths and attendant conditions favorable for an average supply of water.
 Reports from stations on the water shed of the upper Gila vary greatly, a number of observers reporting less snow than usual while others report from an average depth to more than usual. On slopes facing north the snow line is as low in places as 5000 feet while on slopes facing southward the snow has disappeared to an alti- tude of 1000 feet. Three feet of snow is reported near the summit of Mt Graham.

PRACTICAL VALUE 0F
 VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

Corespondence.) Representative Hom- CT P Snyder of New York is strong in his advocacy of the vocational edu- cation bill which has passed the Sen ate and House, and probably will soon receive the Presidents signature. Nothing will more benefit the coun- try at large" says MT. Snyder, "tihan the stimulation and direction of the ideas of the young to broaden their field of endeavor and to realize that mechanical and business development is as valuable as the development me- rely of their mental powers along pro fessional lines." MT. Snyder's life furnishes a striking example of the truth of his statement. He is presi- dent of large concern in his home town of Little Falls, New York, de- voted to the manufacture of bicycles, knitting machinery, etc., to which position he has risen after experience gained in knitting mills throughout the country.
 Railroad Investigation Continues
 The continuance of the joint con- mittee which is engaged in an investi- gation of railroad rates and allied subjects is warmly advocated by Hon. John Jacob Esch of Wisconsin. He has no sympathy with some Demo- crats who want the committee abol- ished on the ground of economy" and who claim that all the informa- ton it is likely to obtain can be secured from the Government depart ments. q am one," declares Con- gressman Esch, "who believes there are many men in this country who can give us valuable information if we will only hear them" Through substantial support from Mir. Esch and other republican members the life of the committee was ordered extend ed by vote of more than two to one.
 Will Not Tax the Foreigner
 The Democratic Ways and Means committee are now considering tariff rates on tea, coffee, cocoa, rubber, etc, an increased tax on inheritance, a re- turn to the stamp tax, consumption tax on sugar, Crank Lowry's plan to benefit the seabord sugar refners) an internal tax on soft drinks, increased tax on tobacco of all kinds, tax on internal combustion engines, an in creased tax on oleomoargarine, tax on the 'movies,' candy, glucose, and on photograph records. But not the slightest hint is offered by them of tariff on foreign goods coming into competition with American products.
 Fertilizer from Sea Kelp
 One of the causes of the remarkable decrease in the production of staple crops during the past season is ascrib- ed by Congressman Elijah c. Hutch inson of New Jersey to lack of fertil- lzer Tn the shape or potash. MT. Hutchinson says that sufficient potash can be manufactured from the kelp of the Pacific Coast to supply the needs of the country five times over. He is trying to persuade the Democrats to appropriate sufficient funds for the proper development of that inductry.
 How War Helped Copper
 The Geological Survey has compiled statistics showing that in 1916 the value of the copper produced in the United States was $520,00O,00O as compared with $19O,O00,OOO in 1913. And copper was just fairly profit ahla prod,tcf bafora tho war ha0on

ECONOMY DRIVER

Any Car Owner May Get Big Mileage

Many people comment on the big
mileage that Maxwell cars obtain in
day after day performances. There are
thousands Of automobile drivers who
do not understand how the Maxwell
drivers get from twenty to fifty miles
on one gallon.
The method of economy driving, as
told by ID. Il. Larkin of Portland. Ore,
who made more than forty.six miles on
one gallon in the recent Maxwell Lib
erty Bond contest, is interesting.
! In order to get the greatest gasoline
efficiency from a Maxwell car, accord
ing to Larkin, is to first keep the mo
tor in perfect working order. Clean
oil is necessary
The carburetor is to be adjusted so
as thin a mixture as possible is OBJ
tained. The bearings should be kept
clean, free and properly fabricated
Another important feature is the oil
ing of all parts of the springs. Par
ticular attention is to be paid TO this as
20 per cent greater efficiency may be
had II it is done.

When driving the windshield is best

It is best TO maintain a speed of
about twenty miles an hour, or there
