highway between Jerome and Pres colt, was held yesterday before Judge Frank H. Lyman of the superior court of Maricopa county. He was presid- ing in the superior court here in place of Judge J. J. Sweeney of the Yava- pai county superior court, who was disqualified.
 His time being limited, Judge Ly- man hastened proceedings and on leaving for Phoenix announced he would submit his decisions in writing
 The contempt hearing resulted from alleged action of the corporation com mission in citing the Jerome Union company and lining it 5000 despite a restraining order issued by Judge El- mo B. Bollinger of the superior court of Mohave county, sitting in the Yaya- pal county superior court.
 The Jerome Union company was held to be operating it's stage business over the new road without a certifi- cate of convenience and necessity from the corporation commission. Counsel for the company has contended that the commission has no legal right to issue such certificates which are al- legged to involve special privileges and exclusive franchises. The commission was represented in today's proceed ings by Assistant Attorney General Clyde M. Candy.

Forgotten Soldier Lads Look For
 Cheerful Word on Christmas Morn

Rows of white beds, out of which peer thin white faces, searching, in- quiring. Brave faces, too. All day long they lie there on those white beds. watching the sunshine creep around and around until presently it is shin ing across their beds.
 Tuberculosis. It is a small word and yet what havoc the fact works. Those boys lying so patiently in the sunshine are our boys-the same who marched away to war to the tune of drums and cheers. Do you remember when they swung away down the street, and how we stood and cheered and wept-and how proud we were of them? How wonderful it seemed to be man, and able to do a mans part.
 They have done their mans part Gassed and incapacitated alike for mil itary and domestic service, they came back, quietly, in ones and twoes. And now they lie there on screened porches, | smiling bravely, enduring silently | fighting a harder battle than was ever fought in France Things seem so re- mote to them, now. Only the throb of passing motors, and the occasional visit of some sympathetic soul from town to break the dread monotony of waiting.
 Urue the government Is paying for their keep, and many of them are al- ready drawing their compensaslon But they are sick and far from home and friends, and the holidays are | drawing near. To all of us this means the happiest time of the year. It IS the time when families gather together and when laughter and gaiety prevail We who are well go about our prepar- ations for the day, happy, engrosseo in our joy of doing. It is right for us

to do this. but it is also right for us to remember that we have these boys in our midst, and that their days should be as happy as pain-fuled days can be made.
 Once it was our joy to gather up these boys and take them for spin in the country. It was our pleasure to call on them in their barracks, leav ing little gifts of comfort for them. This was a thoughtful wartime cus- tom which should not be abandoned. In those days our soldiers had sturdy legs which carried them easily over the miles, and comforts were not nee essary. Now a few minutes conversa- ton with one from the outside world means much to them. They don't need people to sympathize with them, or be sorry for them. They do need cheer full friendly interest just few mo- ments of it, now and then, to helr the gray days pass.
 Just at present plans are. under way to see that no soldier is sighted on Christmas day. The evening before an entertainment and Christmas tree is tC be given them, and the merchants have donated funds to provide every one of our boys with a cash merchan- disc gift. On Christmas day the American Legion will visit their sick comrades in body, and present every
 one of them with basket of goodies 1 In the meantime, bear in mind that 1 there are 75 war risk patients in oul
 city, and that each one of these pa l tients is the son, brother or husband | of someone who cannot be with him l The most that we can do for them vii

MEX|CANS HOLD UP
 SUBURBAN STORE

After holding up and robbing the Faulkner store at the corner of Chi cago avenue and Thomas road last night about 7:30 o'clock, two Mexicans made their escape with s200 in gold, silver and currency which they took from the cash register. One of the Mexicans wore a mask made of a handkerchief, the other wore no mask.
 MT. Faulkner, the owner of the store, was in the place alone when a Mexican entered and demanded his money. Thinking he was joking, Faulkner laughed at him and second Mexican entered holding a revolver. Faulkner called his wife and she ad- vised turning the contents of the cash register over to the Mexicans. AS they went out the front door of the store. Faulkner rushed out the back three shots at the fleeing men without effect.
 The sheriff's office was notified and Deputy Sheriffs R. M. Price, Sterling Price, Gilbert Blanco and Ernest Smith made a thorough search of the camps in the vicinity of the store without success. A good description of the robbers was secured by the officers.

LONDON, Dec. 30.-A controversy is on among the poorly paid section of cIergymen who find themselves hard hit by the high cost of living over a novel suggestion put forward by pr. Robert Rentoul, a prominent Liverpool practitioner. that the clergymen could augment their incomes by acting as doctors as well as parsons.
 Dr. Rentoul advises young clergy men to study medicine, take their de- gree and combine body curing with soul saving work.
 Many clergymen do not look with favor on the idea. They argue that they have plenty to do already and that local practitioners would bitter ly resent competition from them. One wants to know where a poor curate is to raise the $250 necessary to qualify for a medical degree and others hold that within a month the clerico- medi- co.'s sermons would be thin, and that the soul would suffer at the expense of the body"
