PIONEER DESCENDANT OF PILGRIMS LIES IN
 HOSPITAL IN PHOENIX

Seven generations ago, Richard Mann came with the Pilgrim fathers from England and landed at Plymouth, Mass. A generation ago, a descendant of Richard Mann blazed a trail across the Rockies and settled in Arizona. He was Horace F. Mann. The hardi- ness of the Pilgrim fathers had been handed down, generation to genera tion, to find a descendant equally as sturdy, equally as capable of endur- ing privations and hardships as the men who braved the uncertainties of 8 new world.
 It was nearly 30 years ago that Horace E. Mann came with the "Bos- ton Colony to Arizona Today he lies in Sisters hospital suffering from broken leg, the result of an accident in which he was struck by an auto mobile.
 The "Boston Colony" came to Ari- zona, he explained yesterday, with the intention of settling along the Little Colorado river. On their arrival, how ever, they found the rich agricultural lands all taken up, so they continued across the mountains, finally locating in Flagstaff valley.
 It was there that colonists made the flagstaff from a stately pine which stood off by itself away from the other pines. It was this flagstaff from which the valley took it's name, as well as the city of Flagstaff
 Later the colonists moved to Pres colt, where they settled permanently.

 Sheriff Montgomery, fA speaking of the affair yesterday, stated that he be- lieved the holdup of Tuesday night was
 the start of a crime wave in Phoenix. Sheriff Montgomery said he was going to ask Chief Brisbois of the police de- partment to cooperate with his off cers in combating the crime wave that
 hits Phoenix about this time each year. A double roundup of all men who have no visible means of support was suggested by the sheriff as the best
 plan of action. In the first roundup
 data would be obtained from the men
 and after a second roundup a week 1 later charges of vagrancy would be 1 brought against those who still were 1 without jobs. In this way, Sheriff 1 Montgomery said, officers would be en-
 abled to pick up crooks who have drifted into Phoenix from other towns
 and these could be ''vagged" and sent
 to jail for from thirty to ninety days

TUBERCULOSIS V.
BY DIR. X. ii. COwley

What am / to do if / find that |
have contracted tuberculosis?
If the disease is located in the
bone, joint, or lymph glands and is
diagnosed early it is usually readily
cured. The longer the disease ex-
lists before being discovered, the
harder it is to cure. tuberculosis
of the glands, especially in the neck,
is usually diagnosed early, but when
it is in the spine, the hip joint or
other obscure bone, it is frequently
called rheumatism for year or more;
and when recognized for what il is,
it has gone so far as to be very
difficult to cure.
The cure for these kinds of tuber-
culosis consists in absolute rest of
the part and the use of tuberculin,
The part must be put at rest in a
plaster cast and kept so till entirely
healed. This may take many months,
but it is the only way out, and must
be done whatever trouble and ex-
pense it may cause.
The tuberculin treatment is espe-
cially good for these cases. Some
doctors do not believe in using tuber-
culin in any case, but the men who
specialize in the treatment of tuber-
culosis all use it, and when it is prop
erly used it produces wonderful re-
suits, especially in the bone, joint and
glandular type of the disease.
For tuberculosis of the spine there
has been lately devised a very in

whose splendid work deserves high
praise. A number of young men
met at the church the day before
Thanksgiving and put in new win
dow lights, arranged tables and
helped decorate the building. Some
men with teams hauled gravel to fill
mud holes and make a good walk
from the pike to the schoolhouse.
The school children under Mrs. An
derson gave a nice program in the
forenoon at the schoolhouse, which
was greatly enjoyed by full house.
Following this the boys and men took
part in athletic stunts, including a
tug of war, which was greatly en-
joyed by all.
Promptly at noon the crowd went
to the church nearby, where the COM
mittee "a number of good house
wives) had beautifully prepared a
most bountiful dinner, set on three
monstrous tables which fairly groaned
under innumerable dishes of chicken,
boiled ham, baked beans, salads pre-
serves, jellies. pies, cakes, etc.
Those large tables had TO be set the
second time to accommodate all the
people, and yet many baskets were
not opened at all.
The after dinner program was
made up Of appropriate songs and
service Of praise. Thanksgiving was
expressed by a number Of local peo-
Pile. Young and old took part and
enjoyed the services in true Thanks
giving spirit. II was an inspiring
sight TO see children, parents and
grandparents grouped about the or
gan blending their voices in songs of
praise. Mr.. Bowman gave an inn
pressive talk to parents. A free-wiil
offering was generously given to pay
for window lights, fuel, etc.
Altogether II was a most inspir-
ing and happy occasion, of which any
community may be justly pround.
Plans are now being made for a

While the New Britain boy may have been bothered by some bad breaks which resulted in his losing a few games by a narrow margin, McCarthys work in direct contrast. -The quiet, unassuming Irish lad did not make much of fuss over his work, keeping right to business. with the result that there few pins remain ing on the alleys when two three balls were sent crashing against them by him.
