added to the church roll, one coming
to the Baptist and the other to the
Methodist church. We went over the

hard to beat.

Nelson Mason of California, who is
here for the purpose of taking an ac-

son says that if he is successful in
landing his candidates in office, he is
going to make his home in Phoenix.
We wish you success, Mr.. Mason.
People are coming west every day.
They are leaving the south, where all
that race prejudice, discrimination
and lynching is being practiced. Our
people are learning of a better place
to live and they are going to it. Two
new families came to Douglas last
week. They were Mr.. August and
wife and two children from Lake
Charles, La, and Mr. and Mrs. Perry
and son from Oklahoma. Mr.. August
Is carpenter by trade and should he
find suitable employment he will
make Douglas his home. We welcome
all good citizens to our city.
Mrs. Edward Jones always likes to
be at her post Sunday morning in
Sunday school, as she is the superin-
tendent. The doctor told her to re-
main quiet, but she just would come
into the church and watch the chill
dren in their classes. She could not
stand it very long and went back to
bed. She is much better now.

The Washington Circles.
To the Editor of The Star,

10 the Editor OF The Star:
If there is any known way for one
who is not a human Argus to cross the
Washington circles with a fifty-fifty
chance of coming up alive on the op-
posite side, I would like to be shown
Being stranger, and inexperienced
in circle navigation, I may be inclined
to magnify the danger, but to me war
zones and battlefelds are quiet and
peaceful spots in comparison. Cars to
the front, cars to the back, cars to the
left. cars to the right, with plenty of
motor cycles. bicycles and trolleys
thrown in. One grand. maddening, be-
wildering mix-up! Having stepped from
the shelter of the friendly curbstone,
you can never tell in what condition
you are going to find yourself. But
your nerve, you can make it. 1t has
been done. But once weaken, and it is
all over but the ambulance!
am afraid 1 was far from having
ton circles when l first arrived in
town. They didn't seem like much to
me with 9Th avenue on a crowded day
stlll fresh in my memory. But oh, how
deeelving. They have me backed up
and yelling for help.
The maddening part about It is tina,
you never know when one of the things
is going to spring out at you. You
walk along with untroubled mind, not a
circle in sight, and suddenly comes one
right in your very path, and nothing
to do but cross! Many and varied are
the routes have tried in an effort to
escape. but sooner or later a circle
comes bobbing up.
Now. if there is any approved method
of crossing these circles, 1 want to
know 1T. Are you supposed to look
IN nineteen directions at the same
time. or choose the one you like best
and trust to luck with the other eight
cen? OF course. if other people can
look in nineteen different directions
at the same time, l must make UP nv
mind to do the same. But it sounds
olihcuit Are you supposed to walk
run or stroll? Should you watch for
autos and ignore trolleys. motor cycles
and bicycles, or the other way around
or both? Should you cross by degrees
or consecutively? And if by a happy
chance you are fortunate enough to
get across" is there any way known
70 men or angels whereby you NAV be
assured OF fetching up on the right
street. instead of wandering off in inst
the wrong direction?
II some kind person will give this in.
FORMATION to troubled stranger he
may be the means Of saving a GOOD and
NOBLE young life. for I feel my nerve is
slpplng, and any day now they NAV get
me! Help! Help! Help!
