When charging terminals are not
marked plus and minus to indicate
the positive and negative sides, the
following method may be used to de-
termine the polarity: Attach both
sides of the circuit to small lead
plates and place these plates in a
tumbler nearly filled with battery So
luton of electrolyte. Turn on the
current and after three minutes re.
move the plates. The one which
shows brown discoloration is attached
to the positive side.

WHO IS WHO IN STATE
OF ARIZONA At PRESENT

How the tax commission Of Arizona
will organize on its first meeting, said
to be called for January 4, is mys.
terry. While Governor" Hunt did not
name successor to Tom Campbell
Governor Campbell did. And his name
is RUDOLF Kuchler and he is a rancher
and he lives near Glendale.
Kuchler is the third Campbell APP
pointee, unless Cattle Inspector Isaac
Dedman, of Pearce, Cochise county
may be considered in that light. Ded-
man wired Campbell that Hunt had
asked his resignation and that it had
been refused. However, my resig-
nation is offered to you"
Governor Campbell wired back,
please stay on the job
Rudolp Kuchler is one Of the more
prosperous of the valley ranchers, and
has taken a strong part in organizing.
He is president of the Arizona Tax
payers association and is in the fore
front of the line of battle whenever it
becomes necessary to form associa-
tons for the beterment Of the con-
ditions surrounding the production Of
crops. Farm associations and mar
ket committees and the like have re-
ceived his attention. He has been
active in the work of the chambers
Of commerce. ....
Secretary Malcolm Fraser will ar
rive in the city Thursday to assume
his duties in the Campbell admins
tration. Doane Merrill Of Benson
who was the republican candidate for
state auditor, has been named as citi-
zen member Of the board Of control.
Under the Campbell regime the board
of control will consist Of Governor
Campbell, Auditor Jesse Boyce and
Citizen Member Merrill.
Hunt has made no move to name
appointees to fill vacancies. There
may be some interesting times if two
boards Of control attempt to meet to
transact the same business. II is
generally believed, however, that no
state business requiring the presence
of either claimant to the governor
ship will be done until there is an ex-
preston by the courts regarding the
mandamus brought by Judge Sloan
against Mr.. Hunt.
The contest, so-called, will be course
proceed. Apparently the Campbell
clan will see no hating that interest
ing inspection until the last bally bal
lot has been looked at. Meanwhile,
in response to the courts order and
some days following it, the Hunt
bondsmen, Homer Wood and A. B.
Williams, have increased his surety
from $4,000 to $4,000.

ANOTHER WAlL0P FOR
OLD JOHN BARLEYCORN

Washington, Jan. 8.-The Webb
Kenyon law, designed to prevent
liquor shipments from "wet" to "dry"
states, was declared constitutional by
the supreme court by vote of 7 to 2.
The court also upheld West Virgil
MAS prohibition amndment prohibit
ing citizens from receiving liquor for
personal use, shipped by common car
riers in interstate commerce.
1t was announced that Justice Nc
Reynolds concurred in the decision but
not completely in the opinion.
Justice Rolmes and Vandeventer
were the two dissenting justices.
"The attracting power of govern
ment over liquor is settled" said the
chief justice, in announcing the deci-
sion. "There was no intention of con-
gress to forbid individual use Of
liquor. The purpose of this act was
to cut out by the roots the practice of
permitting violation of state liquor
laws. We can have no doubt that con-
gress has complete authority to pre-
vent paralyzing of state authority.
Congress exerted a power to co-ordin-
ate the national with the state author
ity.
Attorneys for national liquor organ
izations who were in court said the
decision upholds and applies the
Webb-Kenyon law Gin its broadcast
sense"
Wayne E. B. Wheeler, council for
the Anti-saloon League Of America,
who, with Fred Blue, state prohibi-
ton commissioner of West Virginia,
argued the case before the court,
made his statement on the courts de-
cision:
"The states may now prohibit the
possession, receipt, sale and use Of in
toxicating liquor and not be hampered
by the agencies Of interstate COM
merce.''
Atty. Gen. Wiley E. Jones was ad-
vised by telegram from Washington
of the decision Of the supreme court
in the case.

 Dodge Brothers early realized the importance of comfort in motor ear construction and exercised especial care in selecting spring suspension which would give a pleasant ride. Deep upholstering with low seat cush ions and slanting backs add much to the occupants satisfaction smooth and quiet motor action, easy steering, short turning radius. eQualiZed brakes. silent starter and plenty of reserve power, are more of the distinctive features in the Dodge Brothers Car which have been carefully worked out to- give the owner the maximum of comfort
 Low first cost does not always in dicate low maintenance cost. In the Dodge Brothers Car, however, the purchaser secures the combined ad- vantage of a low first cost and low maintenance cost. Many things pc culiar to the design and construction make possible an unusually low main tenance cost.

REQUISITES IT

Reliability. comfort and low main- tenance cost are some of the prime requisites in the popular motor car Of today The discriminating buyer de- mauds these results. They can be ob- tamed only by the standardization and improvement of details.
 Without question there has been an advance in the art of automobile con- stuction during the past year.
 The eXacting demands of the pros pecuVe purchaser have been antici pated in the Dodge Brothers Motor car. for instance, by the perfection of details n a carefully standardized type of construction. Years were spent in studying the field and in engineering development before the first car was put on the market.
 No step in the production of the Dodge Brothers car or improvement in t. Is made without considering first The question of reliability. The four cyliuder motor was adopted because of tS simplicity and reliability The fewer and more sturdy the parts, the less annoyance to the owner in the long run.

Yesterday that no one would be al
lowed to board the Dutch liner of
port, and that the usual passes is
sued to newspaper men for the Gus
toms launch would not be good for
the steamer.
1t was believed for a time this
morning that the delivery Of 5Sl bags
of mail brought from San Francisco
by the steamer had been delayed by
the new order, but it was later
learned that such was not the case.
The steamers mail clerk had simply
neglected to segregate the letter mail.
and it consequently could not be de-
livered to the mail launch outside, but
had to wait until the steamer was at
the dock.
This made the big despatch an hour
or more later getting to the postof-
flee than the letter mail arriving on
the Matsonia, which brought a total
of 1S1 bags.
1t is believed the railway mail ser
vice in San Francisco had advices
from the San Francisco agents Of the
steamer that she would reach Homo
lulu Tuesday afternoon, and due to
this made the big despatch by her.
She did not dock this morning, how
ever, until almost an hour after the
Matsonia was made fast to the wharf
at Pier IS. The Matsonia steamed
from the coast one day after the Dutch
liner had sailed.

PASSENGERS BOUND FOR
CANADA WILL BE WISE
TO GET IDENTIFICATION

While it is not necessary that
Americans travelling from Hawaii to
the mainland by way of Canada Sc
cure passports, it is advisable. how
ever. that they carry with them a
letter of Identification establishing
the fyct that they are citizens of the
United States, says Albert E. Harris,
federal court clerk.
Clerk Harris says, however. that
he is not in a position to furnish such
letters, and explains that they may
be best secured from the office of the
city and county clerk, or possibly
from the governors office. He adds
that steamship companies have been
sending persons to him for these let
tiers, in spite Of the fact that he has
no way Of knowing that they are
American citizens.
