BILL TO SEPARATE LEAGUE
FROM TREATY CAUSES
SCRAP.
THE KNOX RESOLUTION
CHARGE MADE THAT POLITICS
HAS STRONG BEARING
ON ACTION.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service.

w
Washington, June 2O.-Debate Of
the League Of Nations shifted to pOlit-
ical grounds again in the Senate with
a resulting furry of party feeling
which ended in an admonition by the
chair that Senate rules must be
obeyed.
The nareup started when Senator
Williams Of Mississippi, q Democratic
member of the foreign relations com
mittee, charged the Republicans had
stacked" the committee against the
League. Senator Moses of New Hamp-
shire, Republican member, made
spirited denial and Senator McCor-
mick, Republican, of Illinois, declared
the Paris peace mission had been
stacked with Democrats"
Other senator's quickly got into the
discussion and still others were ask
ing recognition when Vice President
Marshall called halt, ruling that the
discussion, which had interrupted a
speech by Senator Thomas, Democrat,
Of Colorado, was out of order. The
Colorado senator then resumed his
address, directed against the Knox
resolution. BY which the Senate would
treaty without the League Of Nations
covenant Incorporated.
Senator Williams charge followed
one by Senator Thomas that the Re-
publicans first had put the League into
politics by the celebrated round robin
of the last session, and now were con-
demning Democratic support Of the
League as partisan.
Mr.. Thomas 10 one Of the Demo
cratic senator's who have taken no
definite stand regarding the League,
but In his speech he read many ex-
tracts from historical works to show
that in the past beneficial proposals
often had met the same arguments as
now confront the League covenant.
The Knox resolution he opposed ~
improper and would be Interpreted as
a presumptive effort to dictate to the
peace conference. Answering the plea
that the people should have more time
to consider the League proposal. he
asserted there already had been wide
discussion Of the subject for several
yeaSs.
IF there ID q man between the two
oceans who hasn't discussed it and
reached some conclusion regarding 1t, !"
he said, "the fact argues for his igno-
rance and for the impossibility Of his
ever reaching any conclusion"
There was no effort to bring the
Knox resolution up for vote and
there were predictions in some quar-
tiers that 1t would be permitted to die
on the calendar.

illness. Noske is the least liked OF

Berlin.-The cabinet has resigned.
President Ebert will retain his office

must resign rather than sign the peace
treaty.
Paris-The Temps understands that

will be the toning down Of the clause

and the second, abandonment Of pros
ecution of the former emperor.
1t IL known that there has been q
considerable shift in the attitude of

change in the German government.

NATIONAL OLD TRAILS
 AN HISTORIC ROUTE

Many motorists who have noticed the red, white and blue markers along certain roads in the vicinity of Kan sas City fail to appreciate their sig nificance. They blaze the route of the National Old Trails Road across the continent from Baltimore to Los An geles. West of Kansas City the road passes through Olathe, Great Bend, Dodge City and Syracuse in Kansas, crossing the Colorado line near La Junta. A. l.. Westgard, director of transcontinental highways of the Ma tional Highways Association, writing in the New York Independent, de- scribes the road as "the most scenic and by far the most historic route" in America. He continues:
 "The National Old Trails Road gets its name from following old historic trails, more or less closely, all the way across the continent. Thus it follows the National Pike, the first highway built by the nation, along a route reminiscent of the history of Wash ington, Braddock and of the French and Indian wars, from Washington or Baltimore to St. Louis by way of Cumberland, Wheeling, Columbus and Indianapolis. From St. Louis it fol- lows the Boone Lick Road, named
The Coconino sun., 1919-07-04

after the doughty Daniel Boone, to Kansas City. From Kansas City to Santa Fe it traces the famous Santa Fe Trail, gory with the blood of the pioneer hunters, trappers and traders who between 1872 and 1882, when the completed railroad caused it's aban- donment, plodded their weary way across the plains and so often met death at the hands of marauding sav- ages.
 "From Santa Fe to California it trails the paths of Spanish conquista- dores and the indomnitable padres, who brought the gospel to the Pue- bios. The length of this route is 3,030 miles from Washington to Los An geles. Everything considered, it is the most scenic and by far the most historic route, besides offering the flavor of trip into foreign land on account of the Mexican population and numerous interesting tribes of Indians who in New Mexico and Ari- zona dwell contiguous to the route. .
 "Hard surfaced roads will be found as far as Terre Haute in a continu- ous ribbon. While most of the bal ance of the route is financed for inn provement, it is, aside from occasional stretches of macadam, a dragged dirt road, good in dry weather. Substan- tial bridges and culverts are found all along the entire route, even in sparse ly settled sections of the Southwest, and it is well sign posted. This route is provided with excellent hotel ac- commodations at most of the natural night stops. Though open for traffic practically the entire year, except in January, February and March, the best time to travel this route is in the early autumn, leaving the East be- tween September and October T."

THE MOTOR CAR IN 1900

The Shad of Persia introduced mo- tor cars in his country in 1900, pur- chasing the finest specimen of the "horseless carriage" that the market then afforded.
 The first motorized parcel delivery service in the Middle West was inau- gurated in Detroit, organized under the name of the Automobile Rapid Service Delivery Co.,, in 1900, with six motor cars.
 The use of the motor car horn was inaugurated in France, and was adopt ed by manufacturers in this country in 1900 to substitute whistles, bells, gongs, and the many other devices used heretofore on cars to the con- fusion of pedestrians and drivers alike.
 In 1900 Buffalo, N. r., claimed the distinction of having more motor car riages than any other city of it's size in the United States. The estimated number of these vehicles was about seventy.
 In 1900 there was only one motor car owned in Topeka, Kas., and that belonged to the owner of a small ma chine shop, who built the entire ma chine himself.
 The first motor funeral wagon ever put into successful service was own ed by prominent Philadelphia under taker in the summer of 1900.
 The first motor supply company was organized in St. Louis, Mo-, where retail store was opened in 1900.
 "Non-slipping pneumatic tires" for cars were brought out in 1900.
 The. absurdity of some of the early motor car laws is evinced by the fol- lowing item, which appeared in a mo- tor magazine in 1900: Recently a chauffeur whose machine was broken down was taken in tow by another horseless carriage; but a policeman appeared on the scene and placed him under arrest, because two vehicles form train, and the circulation of motor car trains is forbidden" In 1900 the French Academy decid- ed, after solemn deliberation, that the word "automobile" is masculine. The New York post-office depart ment reported in 1900 a saving of IS minutes trip as result of it's tests with motor vehicles for the collection of mail in the downtown districts. Manageability, noiselessness, sim plicity, appearance, were the points competed for by the drivers of motor vehicles entered in one of the early automobile races.
 Records in 1900 show that at that time the total capitalization of all car manufacturers amounted to more than $5,000,000.

ARIZONA LEADS IN
 VOCATIONAL WORK

The state of Arizona leads all the states in the Union for enrolment in vocational home economies. In the Vocational Summary, the organ of the Federal Board of Vocational Educa- tion, for the month of May, appeared diagrams showing the standing of the various states in the Union in enroll ment per population in vocational ag- riculture, vocational home economies, and the trades and industries for the year ending June 30, 1918. Utah now leads the country in agriculture, and Arizona is eighth-ahead of agricultu- ral states such as Nebraska, Kansas, Indiana, Wisconsin.
 In the trades and industries Arizona is sixteenth on the list, leading 32 other states, among them California, and such industrial states as New York, New Hampshire and Maryland.
 It is in the matter of home econom- ics that Arizona has outdone herself, for in this particular branch she now leads all the states in the Union.
 It is matter of particular pride to Prof. l. Colodny, state director of NoSaIiOIidl SuuCdIlOH, tHdI nc IdS man. anged to win for Arizona first place in thls great work. It was not even expected that Arizona would rank anywhere with California or Massa- chusetts or New York; but actually she has had enrolled in her class rooms per population greater num- Der than these states.
 This year which is just closing there were enrolled 1,293 students in voca. tional work. This is more than dou. ble the number that was enrolled last year.
