RAFF|C.JAM TOO
 MUCHF0R AUTOS

Within the short space of three minutes last evening just before SIX o'clock, as many auto accidents were avoided at the corner of First avenue and Adams streets.
 The streets are unusually congeSted at that time of evening, everyone who owns a machine appears to be hurry ing home for the evening meal and the usual precautions taken to insure safety to cars and lives are thrown to the winds
 There have been a half hundred corner, and luckily this far no one has been seriously injured or killed. Autos have collided with each other, with lamp posts run up on the curbs. mo- torcycles have been side swiped by autos, and bicycles have been de- wheeled by both machines and motor cycles.
 Last evening for about three min utes there was one continuous stream i of machines circling around the iron cop" in the center of the intersection. Machines dashed up from the north and south, noticed they could not get through the jam without joining the ring around the posie" game. and without thought of the risk which wheels run, joined merrly in, and around they went, while pedestrians stood on the sidewalk, and wondered not only when it would end, but now il would end. It finally stopped. and several cars with equally as many scratched lenders, nosed their way out ! of the mess and headed home.

 When knabenshue had completed h;s

 'Firestone Tires will be the equip ment on all trucks and trailers"
 MT Spellman immediately came to Akron and signed a contract for the necessary number of tires. It did not take him long to become enthusiastic over the FirestOne factory as well as the organization.

COLOSSAL CIRCUS
 MOVES BY MOTOR

Chosen from among all other makes or tires, Firestone Giant Truck tires Will be the equipment for the worlds s flrst motor truck circus, promoted by l the United States Circus corporation
 This concern was recently incorporated under the laws of Delaware with an authorized capitalization of s1 ,000, ,000
 It is expected that this mammoth mo- tor truck circus will revolutioniZe all present day circus methods. Execu- lives of the corporation have planned the transportation of every piece of raraphernalia, men and animals by mo- tor truck from stand to stand and as the big feature of their scheme they have just closed a contract for 100 Kel- lv-Springfield trucks and 100 Troy
 Trailers, all of which are to be equipped with Firestone tires
 Officials of the circus corporation es- timate that in the daily travels from
 town to town the entire weight to be
 carried on our tires will be $500 tons Both circus and motor worlds will
 watch with the keenest interest the progress of this strictly modernized cir
 GUS, while tire manufacturers and truck operators in general will give consid- erable attention to the performance of Firestone Giants.
 The story of how Flrestone equip
 ment was chosen by the circus authori-
 ties forms one of the most interesting chapters in the history of the show

A State Police Force.

No honest intelligent objection can be made the bill creating state police force. There two classes of objectors, laboring under misappre henson and the other knowing precisely why it does not want such force The first class consists of the labor unions who fear that the police would be called into times of strikes The other class consists of those who do want the prohibition law enforced and know that such po lice force would be the effective instrument for it's enforcement
 As to participation of the police industrial dis putes there during the life of the Arizona rangers though occasion. Governor Kibbey directed the captain of the rangers, when trouble was threatened Bisbee take control of the sit uation and prevent disorder. His instructions were explicit, that neither side should be favored. The rangers not to take the side of either the mining company the strikers, but that the should be violated by neither In con- sequence of this order there was no trouble
 state police force such is provided in the bill could if it would, exercise much influ- in strike of large dimensions such as that at Clifton and Morenci The fact that so few men are asked for by the bill alone absolves the large employers of any interest in the measure.
 The and women behind the bill are not of the large employing class; they have interest in the affairs of any corporation. they have vital interest in the enforcement the prohibition law and the chief bill is the head of the Arizona Temperance Federation.
 Everyone believes that without such a the enforcement of the law will be uniform that 1t will be as spotted public sentiment with respect to prohibition; that local officers will be directed by the public sentiment of their respective localities The police would expected to take a hand in those communities where local officials decline to act half heartedly

THE LlNoTYPERs' LOVE SONG

The printing shop is dirty and hot And the fumes thick from the melting pot And my soul is and frayed. As the board I bend and lean To strike the keys of the mad machine That Merganthaler made; But my weary memory dearly holds A picture ever the same. And ever the molten metal molds The letters of your name, The copy flows in endless stream. But the curling steam holds whirnG dream As juggle the mats and space; For see, in the clustered keys. Your hair blown fair in the cooling breeze Of happier time and place; And my tired eyes meet, with rapture sweet. Where the copy-rack and the keyboard meet The outlines of your face!

Sulphur Springs Military Traininq.

Senator Roberts seldom fails to understand what he wants in the way of legislation he seldom fails to perceive the relation between bit of proposed legislation and another the effect upon an- other But in one he has curiously nodded It was in an amendment he himself made to the High School Cadet Training bill He the first to pro- pose extension of the scope of the measure and to suggest that male youth above the age of four teen be admitted to the training classes whether mem bers of a high school or not. He explained at the time that there were many boys among his const- tuents of the Sulphur Springs Valley who were far removed from the advantages of a high school but who nevertheless were of the material of which heroes are made All they needed training in- struction in the proper of the rifle.
 The senator forgot that he had already unwttingly provided for their training in higher degree than any to which the high school boys are likely to attain He had cast stone in securing his jack rabbit amendment to the wild animal bounty bill which had not only brought down two birds but had struck another yet in the egg.
 As result of that jack rabbit amendment every boy in the Sulphur Springs Valley will be armed with rifle and will learn how to use it. He may not known much about digging trenches. or about taking part in military evolution, but squad of Sulpbur Springs Valley boys who have mastered the art of halng the swift and flight of the jack rabbit will become invaluable units in an army of defense Ine boy who can take a jack rabbit the wing at distance of 300 yards be counted upon to stop an invader of American soil, be he Jap or German The training of the Sulphur Springs Valley boys is already assured while the measure for preparedness Of the high and normal school cadets is only pending

High Prices.

Even now when the high cost of living is more acntey felt than ever still at loss to account for It. The search for the cause has narrowed down to two circumstances both of which are probably contribuory One is the congestion traffic and the other the work of monopolists of practically all food products The latter probably the most to blame and have seized upon the car shortage as further excuse to increase their exactions.
 The people themselves have furnished psychologi- cal cause for the latest advance in prices-by talking about the high cost of living-the newspapers by printing day after day stories sometimes exaggerated

Scheme of BurlesOn May
Still Be Defeated by
Senators
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Feb. 21.-The House to-
day by a vote of 176 TO 106 rejected the
Senate amendment making mandatory
the continuance Of pneumatic tube SER
vice in New York, Philadelphia, Chi
cago, Boston and st. Louis, and sent
the postoffice bill to conference with
only the reduced appropriation OF ST.
OO1 900, provided in the measure. Ac-
cording to the announced intention OF
the Postmaster General, this means,
unless the Senate insists on its amend
ment or some modification thereof, that
tube service will automatically cease in
all cities, save below Forty-second
Street in New York, at the end of the
fiscal year.,
Chairman Moon attacked the tube
service, in which he referred TO 1T as
"born in iniquity" and "rotten to the
core" and pleaded for his Democratic
associates to support the Postmaster
General in eliminating the service.
Representative Madden, an avowed
proponent Of tube service, however, was
the man chiefly responsible for Leading
the House into the reversal Of its Tor
mer position. The Illinois Congressman
told the House that the Senate amend,
ment, as it appeared in the bill, pledged
Congress to purchase the tubes. This,
according to members OF the Senate
committee, was misstatement. Mr..
Madden then proceeded to assure the
House, contrary to the Postmaster Cen
erals repeated announcement, that the
Postoffice Department would continue
pneumatic tube service without man
datory provision.
Despite strong appeals for the reten-
ton of the Senate amendment by both
Representative Tague, of Boston. and
Minority Leader Mann, of Illinois,
good many Republicans, acting under
this misapprehension, joined Democrats
in accepting Representative Steiner
sons amendment New York and Bos-
ton Democrats, however, voted solidly
against it.
AS the parliamentary situation stands
the Postmaster General has an un-
