Especial to the Copper Camp
PHOENIX, June 6.-The Vail-Ben-
son highway, as it is known in Pima
county or the Benson Vail road, as it
is known in Cochise county, is a dem
onstration of the old mathematical
axiom that the shortest distance be-
tween two points is a straight line.
1t reduces the distance between Tue
son, the county seat of Pima county,
and Tombstone, the county seat of
Cochise county, by ten miles.
The map of most Arizona roads
looks more like snake than a
straight road, and road engineers
seemingly take great delight in see
ing just how many twists and turns
they can get in mile. This was the
kind of road between Vail and Ben
son which Tom Maddox, state engi-
neer, found when he took office. Leav-
ing the Borderland highway at Vail,
it dipped into the treacherous Pan
tana wash, and crawled it's way up
the other side over waste of rocks,
then dropped again into the Aqua
Verde wash, exceptionally dangerous
in flood time, and following this val
ley, crossed and recrossed the chan
mel some ten times in. a distance of
four miles.
Engineers of Pima county and the
state highway department were sent
out to look over the situation. They
figured on improving the old route
by eliminating some of the more
snake-like curves and some of the
more snake-like treachery of the fords,
but the bridge estimates ran so high
that it was seen that the route was
impractical
1t was then that the state highway
engineer told his locating forces to
take ramble over the whole sur
rounding country and not to come
back until they had located more
feasible routing. A thorough recon
Nuisance of the entire region was
made, and it was seen that if bridge
site could be secured over the Cienega
river, splendid location could be
made many miles south of the old
road; very little excavation would be
necessary, the bridge expense would
be much less and the road surfacing
material would be much better. The
outcome was that this route was Sc
lected and that work is now progress
ing on highway which, for a large
part of the way, takes it's course as
straight as the crow flies.
The location work was under the
immediate direction of W. w. Van
Frank, and under the general direc-
tion of c. c. Small chief locating en-
gineer of the state highway depart
ment.
AS fast as the plans and specifica
tions necessary for federal aid could
he prepared, this work was let by
contract, with indications that the job
will be complete on or about the first
of the year, thereby affording an i'm
portant link in the system of high
ways which go to make up the So
called Bankhead route from Phoenix
to the New Mexico line, near Rodeo.
At this writing one four-mile sec
tion is finished and another seven
mile unit is under construction, both
sections having been contracted to

PATRON SAINT OF AArtERs
Why st. Clement Has Long Been Ae-
corded Recognition by Makers Of
Head Coverings.

st. Clement is known as the patron
saint Of hatkers. because Of his dis
covery for the making Of compact
fabric out of wool without pressure
or weaving. The story goes that this
devout priest, while on Journey, be
came footsore and tired, and. removing
his sandals, sought rest by the road
side.
st. Clement was soon disturbed by
the bleating Of lambs. Looking up,
he beheld a fox that had jpst seized
one Of the helpless young sheep. He
cleared a hedge just In time to destroy
the fox and rescue the lamb. in the
process Of which act he observed loose
wool, which he gathered and exam
ined.
The priest was struck by the sud.
den inspiration that here was relief
for his lacerated feet Binding the
yielding wool on his wounds, he was
able to continue his journey. On
reaching his destination St Glenn
emit removed the sandals from his
feet. discovering instead Of the 1ne
soft wool piece Of unfinished cloth.
seemingly so nrp and thick that he
couldn't pull II apart. He called the
matted material "felt."
This accidental knowledge Of the
priest caused the basic principle that
underlies the mems hat industry.

Clements day and is red-letter day
for the hat manufacturers OF many
countries.
