WARN, FATHERS IF
 DANGERS IN RIVER

Spring, and in fact summer, has arrived, and with it comes the ap- nual warning for swimmers and would-be swimmers who assay their skill in the river. to beware of the holes which dot the bottom here and there.
 This time the warning comes from M. o. Vasquez. 619 South Second ave- nue, who believes children should be kept away from the river, including Joint Head. Last Monday, about 6 o'clock, Vasquez happened to pass by Joint Head and saw two girls, of 10 or 12, in bathing. Just at that moment one of them encountered a deep hole in the channel and started to sink. He went in and rescued her unharmed.
 Hence the admonition to beware of unsuspected holes, constant men, ace to children bathers and even to adults who cannot swim.

 IF DR. BROWNE HELD

Members of the Maricopa County Medical society, hoping in a small way to show their appreciation of their departed member, Dr. Robert Brownfield. will close their offices on Thursday afternoon the day of the funeral services at the Episcopal church.
 The society members appreciate the privilege of acting as honorary pallbearers at the services, which will be held at 2: 30 D. m. All of the doctors are requested to meet at the home of Dr. Harbridge. 844 North First Avenue at 2:15, so that they may form in a double line and pro- ceed ahead of the hearse to the church and ahead of the casket into the church, where seats are reserved for them.
 Following the service the honorary pallbearers will pass out of the church ahead of the casket, forming in a line on each side of the walk be- tween the church and the hearse while the casket passes to the hearse and the family to their carriages.
