ENJOYING HOT WEATHER

When people "can't stand hot weather it is gen. eraly because they dress to warmly, eat to heavily or stay indoors too much Often is all three together
 Summer is, according to the general view, the fin est season of the year. The rest of the year is spent largely in looking forward to it. And then when it cOmes stupid and preverse human nature spells the prceelss gift by failing to put itself in condition take full advantage of it.
 The hot weather dodger has first to learn that the summer is friendly, just as the timid swimmer has to learn that the water is friendly. But temperature like water. imposes its conditions
 1t IS strange that people who dress properly for winter by putting clothing often fail to adapt themselves to by tha opposite process The least clothing that decency permits is the best ule And for unatey light cool clothing costs less than heavy cloth ing
 It is little use, though to dress lightly if eats heavily i'll summer in winter choose the sam, less rich in quality The body needs fuel just the to provide energy for work and play but needs less to a cutting down of the ''heang' fats and sugars and judged by this standard, voumnous of ice cream and candy not sensible.

With the opening of the political campaign it is to be expected that the papers of the country will begin to express their editorial opinions regarding the candidates and their chances Some of these expressions sound and show the evidences of real thought and knowledge of the political situation that justify their authors in committing them to print. But others plainly n- spred by the old, idea that political criticism consists merely ill derogatOry abuse and camnation that they inevitably recall the remark of Solomon, when he said 'As the cracking of thorns under pot, parable in the mouth of fool.'
 Cases in point furnished by two of the newspa- pers that rank among the foremost in Arizona These the Arizona Republican and the Tucson Citizen both rabidy republican. The editor of the Republican goes numbering through column of what he believes is pot cal wisdom almost daily but he fails to bring forward argument either for against either candidate that will hold water for minute, and his output shows the evidences of either abysmal ignorance of the questions that agitating the minds of Amer today of rapidly approaching senility both On the other hand the editorial utterances of the Citizen readable in the extreme, but they would be vincng if could lose sight of the fact that the writer of them recently went to the Democrats of neighborng state and pleaded to be put the payroll of of the the battles of Democracy His failure to connect has made hi ma bitter critic of everything Democratic but the knowledge of this fact weakens whatever influence he might otherwise have.

SANTA CRUZ IS HEADED RIGHT

The good people of neighboring county of Santa Cruz, after finding themselves with roads to build than money to build them wt have recently decided to issue another hundred thousand dollars in bonds to complete their trunk lines in that growing county They will vote this issue at the coming primary election in September Theer probably is not doubt but what the proposed issue will be voted and Santa Cruz to be graduated what this additional ssue together with Federal aid, will do for their people,
 In the first place it completes the highway from the Cocise county line to Patagonia, and in doing petes the Borderland route via Sonota This gives No gales the Bankhead Highway Military Loop and no doubt will be the of securing the Old Spanish Trails route main line. In speaking of this road it be positively stated that it is being and will continue to be the most written about and illustrated trans-cOntn enta highway in America because of its sentimental and historic dentfcatons and by this issue of bonds and the securing of the military loop and the OST Nogaes and Santa Cruz county will before the people of Am erica in broader than ever befOre
 This issue will complete the trunk lines of Santa Cruz and having established and proven its flood and drainage areas, gradually it will secure the paving of them It is stretch of the imagination to believe that the government will aid very materially in the paving of the military loop and no distant day

MAKE MONEY WORK

Many people wonder why, when there is more mon in the country than before it is hard to bOr row. The banks have shut down some branches of speculative and non-essential loans but they still willing to lend to the ordinary business investor for legitimate and desirable purposes They cannot do so because they haven't got the money.
 The chief why they haven't got it is found n the statement made bya financial authority that people carrying the money around n their pockets The craze citizen he says habituay tots around with him from five to eight times much cash he used 1t IS of the curious results of imitation that gives many people much more money than they used to have. Many of them accustomed to banking their money and most of them enjoy the comfortable feeling it gives them of having bulgng wad in their pocketbook
 So it works out about like this: MT. Jones wants to borrow $1O0O from the bank around the corner, carry his goods to help pay for house, and he can't do it, because ten of Mr. Jones' neighbOs each have $1O0 in their pockets that ought to be in the bank.
 The rich don't carry much money with them-they keep their money working. It is people naccustomed to money that do it. All these should learn that money is not merely something to buy things with, but in portant part of the economic systemthat wealth put to use makes wealth for the community and everybody in it, while money lying idle is like unused house ma chine.
 When all money not needed for immediate purposes is put in the bank it is fed out through the arteries of business. 1t stimulates industry It enables people pay their debts-and their creditors in pay their debts, and ndefnatey The essential thing is to keep it moving The faster moves the profit it makes for everybody, just machine running faster turns out greater product.
 The most prosperous community is not the where every man or woman carries roll of bis but the one where the people put their money the bank and pay their bills by check. That creates banking power and banking power makes economic power and multipes wealth.

ARIZONA GETS CORNER ON NATIONS
 WEATHER DOPE

In one way or another Arizona is gaining more than its share of national attention of late X few short weeks the nomination, investigation and appoint ment of G. w. P Hunt minister to Siam focused pub name of native tentatively proposed for the publican nomination for the vice presidency Now, with the aid of Harqua Haa Arizona is again occupying an exposed position in the imelght.
 For the beenfit of those Arzonans whose knowledge of geography has dimmcd with the passing years We would explain that Harqua Hala is neither epidemic another version of the hula hula home brew, though some brands of the latter which have to be diluted with carbOc acid before they be consumed should make the section famous. Harqua Hala is place. As New York writer describes it, There is nothing about the place to attract the tourist The conspicuous thing present is the absence of clouds. If 1t not so bloomn hot and if had plenty of good water and good society it would be quite decent place. But would Hades."
 The absence of clouds noted by the writer, IS ex- acy the thing which has conferred distinction upon the Arizona point. Scientists from the Smithsonian lnst tue are planning install special instruments for solar observation station in the heart of the Harqua Haa mountains officially described being Probably the
 most consistently coudess region in the United States
 It is hoped by the scientists that through daily Ob servations of the and the measurement with deli cate instruments of the amount of solar radiation re- ceved they will be able to forecast weather conditions more accurately than IS now possible. The theory ls in the phraseology of astrophysics that to establish definite relations between solar radiation and tenn perature and weather conditions it would only be cessary to observe definite relations between drawn from the daily observed variations of normal tenn perature and weather conditions"
 In other words Harqua Hala is destined to become the distributing center for the United States all plain planted weddings arranged, functions planned and f eras held only after the of the point have been consulted Just few short months and the world will hark to Harqua Hala.

A Glimpse of America

Many Of these children of the
tenements have never been outside
os New York. Indeed, most of those
who have been away from home be-
fore have simply been out on Trib-
unc Froeh Air trips Of ether years.
They know little except the life in
their own poor neighborhoods In
New York City, and that is all too
seldom American. The families who
take them TO their homes, and often
to their hearts as well, give them
new view Of life and inspire them
to something Of what this country
really is.
Sometimes the after effect Of this
glimpse into American life Is shown
In discomfort, but it is the discomfort
which results in Improving condi-
tions in their homes and in inspir-
ing the ch;ld to better things as ho
grows Older.
TIE story is told Of one little boy
whose mother took him to the settle
mcnt house shortly after his return
from Tribune Fresh Air trip. She
told the settlement workers that he
was very bad-that he had been
good boy before he went away, but
that now ho was bad. The worker
