To each be falr-his rights defend.

But means nothing to them in the

MILLER'S EDUCATION IS
 EXPANDED AT FLAGSTAFF

If you want to learn, go to Flag staff, is the advice of Walter Miller. Miller made trip to the Coconino capital the other day and came back with several embellishments added to his education.
 On his way, while blowing through hub-deep mud, the Jeromite passed a ear parked by the road. Along one side of the machine two oars were strapped. The driver sat behind his wheel, smoking placidly and o5serv- ing two or three other machines sloshing around in the mire.
 "Well, stranger, you don't seem to be worrying much," Miller remarked by way of greeting.
 '"Why should F" was the response. "If I can't pull out l can row out. This is a non-stallable flivver."
 In Flagstaff Miller chanced to overhear the following conversation between two tourists:
 fSay, Bill, what's wage slave ?"
 NA wage slave? Why, you ignor- Smus, a wage slaves lucky stiff that's got job. ."--Jerome News.

NEWS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
FAMILY OF TWENTY-FIVE
 LIVING IN DOUGLAS HOME

In little hotel in Douglas operat- ing under the name of "Hotel del Progresso," is housed the largest fam fly in Douglas and probably the state. There are g children at present; at one time there were 55. And Jose F. Estrada and his wife are father and mother to the lot--foster parents, of course, but none the less dutiful.'
 The Estradas have no children of their own but their paternal desires wouldn't be restrained by that and they began adopting them. Each child as adopted is given home until he or she grows up and is married. When they are old enough to earn money, they are required to pay a small sum for room and board and the remain der is placed in the bank for them.
 The only income the family has is from the rental of rooms not taken up by the large family, and from a taxi driven by Estrada. They do not talk English, but they are devout church members and interested in neighbor- hood clubs and activities.
 Every day the children are called twice into family council where all disputes between any of them are set tied and good feelings restored. Mrs. Estrada says she has never had to spank any of them. Despite her 4S years and unusual responsibility, Mrs. Estrada appears to be much young CT woman.

PRESCOTT COURIER SNAKE
 EDITOR RIGHT ON THE JOB

It was Tuesday, according to a Santa Fe passenger, and the Grown King weekly express was laundering down the mountain toward Prescott. Just as the engine rounded a curve near Herman A. Wagner's place the engineer, leaning out of his cab, was astounded to see a mammoth rattle snake wriggie out onto the right of way and flag the train with his tail. Not wishing to run over the reptile, the engineer leaned on his air brake and called for assistance. The sudden stop of the train was accompanied by a jolt that jared cigars, cigarettes and pipes out of the mouths of pass engers in the smoker and brought the rest of the train crew forward to see what was wrong. They soon glimpsed the colossal snake on the track ahead and, led by the engineer, advanced to- ward it with curses and cudgels. The friendly rattler, taken aback by this hostile attitude, proved an easy vic- tim. A few sharp blows, a rock or two well aimed, and he took the count, his lifeless length stretched out be- side the track. The Crown King ex- press resumed its descent into Pres colt; the smoking car passengers re- sumed their pipes, cigars and cigar cites. Not till then was it learned that the deceased reptile was a pet rattlesanke belonging to H. A. Wag- ner. The snake, it seems, had left it's owners yard and crawled over to the nearby track to flag the express and ride into town. Whether Mir. Wag- ner will sue the railroad for damages as a result of the alleged unnecessary killing of his pet has not yet been

PLANS DISCUSSED FOR FUTURE FLOOD CON-
 TROL AT CAPITAL


 Plans to protect the Arizona state capitol from damage from future Cave creek floods are being made by state officials. The guarding wall which is intended to protect the case ment around the outside of the west wing of the capitol and which or iglnally extended eight inches above the ground, is being raised to height of IS inches above the ground. It is believed that this will be suffic- iently high to keep water out of the basement in future.
 A system of tarpaulins to be hung in the door ways in case of future floods, also is being prepared.
 The basement and first floor of the capitol were flooded by water from Cave creek Sunday night.

TROUSERS ON WOMEN
 FRIGHTENS TUCSON FOLKS.

Trousers on a woman frighten the people here. Although this city lays no claim to being another Zion City it does demand modesty to certain degree, its officials have ruled, so Miss Billie Ferguson, 21, and Miss Jerry Weaver, 19, who are hiking to Los Angeles from Chicago, were arrested when they entered the town with trousers on like men.
 After the authorities had wired to Los Angeles and found the girls were not run-aways and of good families, they were released but told if they met any other girls wearing trousers coming that way they could save themselves delay by wearing skirts.

For the first time in the history
of the country a suit for the an
nulment OF marriage is to be tried
in the New York city court on the
ground that the wife, being child
less, failed to offer herself to the
brother of her deceased husband,
before marrying another person.
The suit has been filed by Jacob
Friezner, 65-year- wealthy Jew
ish real estate operator, against
Caroline Freizner, AS, They have
been married a year. Three months
ago, the husband, a venerable
bearded orthodox Jew, left her
because he said he learned she
had failed to live up to the Mosaic
law of Chalitza, which requires a
widow who never has had children
and whose deceased husband has a
brother surviving, to ask that
brother to marry her. If the
brother is either unwilling or un-
able the required ceremony is for
the widow to remove his shoe and
spit in his face.

1853 PASSENGERS
FLEW IN AIRPLANES
IN LAST IL MONTHS
tBy The Associated Press.)

New York, Feb. S.-A total OF
1853 passengers flew 3,136,55O
miles in commercial airplanes
during the last twelve months
without the loss of a single life,
the Manufacturers Aircraft asso-
citation announced here today
These figures are based on the
performance of 425 planes and it
is believed that the number of
passengers and the mileage would
be doubled if the figures of the
1000 commercial airplanes in this
country were Obtainable.
'In the absence of any federal
system of registration, air laws
and government methods for tab
ulating the ownership and per-
Torrance of aircraft. it has been
found difficult to trace the total
number" the association stated
1.-THE totals are based on cues
tionnaires distributed by the asso-
citation, but due to the itlnerant
nature of much of the flying, it
has been difficult to trace and
record more than half of these.
This one half, by 81 companies
or individuals, are permanently
located in all parts of the United
States.
Much of the mileage was made
on short flights of 10 to Is miles
for which an average fee of $3.50
was charged. An increasing de-
mand for aerial transportation be-
tween the cities has been noted,
the average charge for this SER
vice being 65 cents a mile. On
practically all inter-city flights
baggage or freight was carried,
the quantity limited only by the
capacity of the craft. This bust
ness aggregated 41,390 pounds.
"There We're accidents and
forced landings, but according to
the signed reports from the 81
companies, in the 3,136,550 miles
flown not a single life was lost
There were 222 forced landings
and SO accidents. There have
been fatal accidents in other in
stances in the course of stunt or
exhibition performances or under
circumstances indicating that I'M
due risk had been taken.

COPPER QUEEN MINES
IN ARIZONA EQUIPPED
WITH '0NE MAN MULES


cent shutdown of the Gardner
shaft of the Copper Queen mines
brought out the fact that all the
Copper Queen mines are equipped
with zone man" mules.
The one man in the Warren
district who can induce a mine
mule to come to the top without
kicking the Stats off the cage end
sending sledge haTmer blows to
the intenstines Of attendants is
Tom Hargis
Somehow, Tom Hargis possesses
the knack Of coaXing a mule into
the harness and piacing it in the
cage which is to hoist the animal
to daylight without objection on
the part of the mule. Maybe it is
because the mule knows that when
Tom comes with the harness it is
going back to the land of sunshine
and green grass. Tom hasn't eX-
planned, but Copper Queen officials
say that if Tom weren't around a
tunnel would have to be dug at an
incline to the level where the mule
worked to get Il out Of the mine.
And when the mule gets to the
top and is led out into the day
light, the first and invariable sig
nal of a change in living conditions
is sonorous and happy bray. Mine
workers say they have never seen
it fail. A mule ordinarily doesn't
leave the mine until the shaft is
closed. AS soon as the mule reach
es the top it blinks, stretches its
neck and opens its mouth to eX-
press in mule language ecstasy
Some years ago a mule which
had been in the Gar mine for a
long period was brought to the
surface Miners thought the ami
NAL was blind, or would go blind
when it reached the sunlight. II
was equipped with blinkers and
the light was allowed to come to
its eyes gradually When the blind
was finally fully removed, the ami
NAL gave a long deep bray and
broke away in the direction of
Mexico. 1t never came back.
