A Frenchman returned with an ac-
count of singular national treasury
in AMMAN. If the story is true-and
it presents no essential improbability
the treasury is in no danger of
robbery and is destined to become
famous.
Now in AMMAN iron safes Of good
resisting power are for the most part
unknown, and, unfortunately, adroit
thieves are not. To defend his most
costly treasures the native ruler had
to resort to some means In harmony
with the natural circumstances OF
the country.
AIMED guards he could not fully
trust. Animals do not steal money,
and nature had supplied the ruler
with a creature that could not be
wheedled nor killed except with a
great deal of trouble. The crocodile
is such an animal The ruler would
have the crocodile guard his specie
reserve.
Yet to avail himself of the serv-
ices of the crocodile he must keep his
money in a place where crocodiles are
at home. Nothing was more simple.
In the interior of his palace the rul-
er caused to be constructed a large
tank or basin, which he kept filled
with water. Then he took several teak
logs. which he had bored with holes,
and into these holes he put his specie
reserve Of gold and silver. The
holes were closed up and the logs
put into the tank.
Then some crocodiles of the larg-
est and fiercest description were in
stalled in the tank and maintained
there-not being fed, however, with

CITY MANAGER BELIEVES THE
 TRAFFIC LAWS
 WILL WOAk OUT

'I believe the new traffic ordinance is a god law and that it will work wonders in preventing accidents said City Manager Avery Thompson yes terday in speaking of the congested condition of traffic down town
 '.The only thing necessary now is more officers he continued We are trying to educate the public and to do this we need more men, but at the present time we are doing the best we can"
 The city manager believes that as rule the automobile dealers of Phoenix are above the average. He has been a very close student of the traffic prop lem here. In company with Chief of Police Brisbois and Traffic Officer Bush Anderson, he has investigated the traffic laws of many cities and has been Instrumental in framing the local ordinance.
 It is his opinion that within a short time the drivers of the city will be so educated that accidents will indeed be a rarity in the down town section.

 When the traffic officers were first placed on duty. they were not equipped with signs or whistles They gave inc go ahead signals with their arms re- sulting in many an aching hour for the men on duty.

TIRE MAN GOES TO VISIT
 ]. FAIRBANKS

Eighty miles north of HoIbrook is a long ways from Phoenix and civiliza- tion, but making trip that far is well worth the trouble, according to L. H. McEllherren, if one is going to visit an old pal and Schoolmate as well known as Douglas Fairbanks.
 McEllherren, who is head of the Mack Tire company of this city, was raised with Fairbanks. They were pals together for years. and even though Doug is earning millions mak- ing pictures, and his erstwhile play has never forgotten the old days of long ago. Whenever he has the oppor- tunity he always gets in touch with his friends of former days and shows them good time.
 It was way up in Denver where the two as kids first met. They went through school together, forming with another pal a trio which was hard to beat Even in those days Fairbanks was more or less prone to surprise the natives with his pranks and ability to get away with most anything he tried
 As a youngster Fairbanks, according to McE1lherren, was the star performer of the school. He was an accomplished elocutionist and delighted in appearing before his school mates on each and every occasion where it was necessary for some one to speak piece.
 McE1lherren was somewhat surprised to hear from Fairbanks, as he did not know the immortal Doug had plans for making picture up in the northern part of the state. He had not seen the famous movie star in some time, so upon receipt of a wired invitation to be his guest in camp, he decided the best thing was to turn over the business over to his wife and make the expedition He will be gone for several days

..The people in this town have for gotten how to walk said Chief of Po- lice George o. Brisbois yesterday in speaking of the congested conditions brought about by heavy traffic in the down town sections. If they have to go two blocks continued the chlef, thea get in a machine and drive.
 Don't misunderstood the chief. He has no objections to people driving all the time and never walking, but he was just explaining how extremely heavy. traffic is getting down town II everyone walked there would be no work for his traffic squad, and he be- Heves in keeping them busy by all means.
 According to the chief things are coming fine under the new system or handling traffic, and accidents are be- coming fewer every day. Prior to the installing of traffic policemen on the corner of Central and Washington and Central and Adams, accidents were as common as automobiles, which is some common Just to get a perspective Of conditions at Central and Adams, the chief took the trouble one day to spend two hours on the top story of the Ma tional Bank of Arizona building. From that point of vantage he was able to analyze the situation and make up his mind to the exact state of conditions. During the two hours he spent up there eleven sets of automobiles came together and "clipped" lenders.
 If 22 machines came together in two hours, he figured there was certainly some necessity for traffic cop and that necessity would brook no delay. Since the installa ton of the officers and their signs at the corners. there have been no serious accidents. Of course some motorists have com plained to the chief that they are held up and cannot go through the street as fast as they formerly
