HIGHWAY COMMISSION DIFFERS ACTION ON- THE BIDS UNTIL MONDAY

The Maricopa county highway coni- mission informed visitors at the com missions offices yesterday that no ac- tion toward acceptance or rejection of bids for the construction of county roads under the $4,000,000 bond issue would be taken before tomorrow.
 The commissions attitude toward the bids was not indicated, but E. Hackett ychairman, repeated his reply to the railroads: That there would be no ce- ment to haul at the present freight rate. which is S6.4O per ton.
 We received a definite promise of the $4 per ton rate" he declared, ''and itais fairly clear now that the railroads are counting upon public sentiment. which is in favor of concrete construc- ton, to hold us up for the $6.40 rate. But they are greatly mistaken if they think this commission will consider paying this more than exorbitant rate.

The Arizona Deaconess hospital is in line for very substantial help during the Interchurch World drive which will begin today and will last until May ?. according to the chairman or the building board of the hospital, as this is the only hospital in the state that was passed upon by the board in New York as one of the beneficiaries of the drive.

THE OLD STRAW

The green eyeshade manufacturers wrong. all wrong.
 An old straw hat is a much better device for protecting the optics.
 So say two Bryn Mawr college experts. have carried investigation under the auspices f~the American Medical Association.
 Curved eyeshades, with dark Things, subject the eye to unnecessary and harmful strain the experts found
 The trouble is that the edge the curved, opaque shade, with its dark lining, conspicuous n the field of vision.
 The shade acts a distracting object, thereby disturbing the adjustment of the eye by dark enns the upper half of the field of vision it glare on working surfaces where otherwise there would be none. and increases the glare surfaces where glare already is present.
 With dull white or light gray Things, the shade would be much more desirable. But broad, flat shade would be better than the variety Then the cage would not act distracting object
 The old straw hat meets these suggested speciff- cations in satisfactory fashion.

Other small shipments are now en route to this city which wlil provide for the coming weeks con sumption under the present rationlng system, it is stated.
 Service stations and garages are be- ing supplied with approximately 5O per cent of the amount of gasoline ordinarily served them under normal conditions. This plan has been put into effect by both the Union and Standard Oil company teams. Officials of the two companies believe the local supply sufficient to care for all tractor and commercial car purposes and ap- proximate1y 50 per cent of the demand for pleasure cars.
 No gasoline will be delivered to any of the service stations or garages today.

The Case of the Colleges

 's Mainly because the fees charged instruction have never met the Except in supported institutions the balance is paid from interest dowment funds given outright the colleges by those who believe in their work.
 College endowments have always been invested "safely"-in bonds preferred stock-not in mon; and these safe investments pay more now than they did before the war though prices havo doubled. That means that much larger proportion go things that ho bought present prices. like coal and repairs and janitor service; which many dollars for the faculty And remember that each of these dollars will only buy half of what it did before Smaller dollars and fewer of them!
 The results are that salaries actually reduced enough professors resignng to keep things about large proportion of cheap assistants.

sHAMANs KEEP THEIR POWER
Alaskan Natives Still Believe Implicit
ly in the Words and Actions
of medicine Men,"

Shamanism, or superstition and sor-
.eery, always has played an important
part in the life of the Alaskan native.
SO implicitly does the Alaskan believe
in the words and actions of the sha-
man that whole tribe go hungry rath-
err than incur his displeasure by eat
ing foods he has tabooed.
The shaman attained his position
and power by unusual methods. By
fasting and prayer amid the solitudes
of the woods or mountains, where he
fed only on grasses and roots. he
prepared himself to become q shaman.
By this method it was believed the
candidates body became sufficiently
purified to become the abiding place
of spirits.
Usually the spirit, willing to abide
with the shaman, sent the novitiate a
land otter which the candidate killed,
the offers tongue to be preserved as
a talisman away from human view,
for should it be seen 1t was believed
the ,shaman would go insane or be
turned into the animal from which
the tongue was taken.
Thus the land otter was regarded
as too sacred to be killed by other
than shamans.
