AN INSPIRING INCIDENT

IF ! had my way, I should walk to
the capitol, subscribe to the oath of
Office, speak my little piece and ride
home on a street car"
That is Warren G. Harding's idea of
the ceremony needed to make him
president of the United States and be-
cause of his wishes, the expensive
pomp and ceremony Of an elaborate
inauguration has been discarded.
Here is an example by the coming
chief executive that ought to put thrift
ty thoughts into minds of the public.
In fact, thrift is the watchword of
the present situation. Extravaganza
is passe; putting aside a part OF the
income and making possible regular
saving by wise spending is becoming
more and mor popular.

BODY IF CAPTAIN J.S. HIGLEY ID REST IN NATIONAL CEMETERY

The body of Capt. James s. Higley killed in action during the Argonne offensive Sept. 2S. 1918, has been brought back to the United States and will be inferred with full military honors at the Arlington national cemetery, Arlington. Va, at 2:50 o'clock Thursday afternoon, Oct. 27. That information was contained in a telegram received by the parents, MT. and Mrs. $. w. Higley, from Quarter master General Rogers yesterday.
 Captain Higley. one of the first Arizona men overseas, was attached to Company B, 364th infantry. of the s1st division. He was with his com pany during all of the intensive of fensive fighting of August and Sep tember. It was this offensive that paved the way for the Argonne drive. one of the last big drives against the Germans. He was leading his troops into action when he fell.
 Only a few days before his death he had received his captains corlmis- sion. He held rank as first lieutenant when he went overseas. but his ster- ling qualities soon won him recog- hilton from the commanding officers of his division.
 His body was recovered soon after his death and was buried with full military honors in an American cemetery in France.
 Captain Higley was the only son of Mir and Mrs. $. w. Higley. the former at one time owner of the Arizona Republican.

ing the name General American Tank Car Corp, Tulsa, Okla, with payment designated at the First Ma tional bank of Tulsa. Business cards and letterheads also were found bearing the name General American Tank Car Corp. There is said to be no firm of that name.
 Makes Careful Plans
 According to the police Reid posed as a travelling representative of var ious firms for which he is said to have prepared a full line of creden- tials Mapping out a route and writing letters to himself at each city on the itinerary. he addressed them to the leading hotel of that city. He would sign the letters with a name purporting to be that of the secre- tarv of tie firm designated on the Jetterhead. When he arrived at the hotel Reid would open the business letter, present his card to the clerk of the hotel, the card corresponding with the letterhead, and ask to cash check contained in the letter, the check bearing the same signature as the one on the letter.
 Reid admitted to the police that his method had proved effective in Birmingham, Little Rock, Memphis | Montgomery, Lallas, Waco, Fl Paso, 1 Tucson and other cities. He passed two checks on merchants in Phoe- nix. One given to the Diehl shoe store was recovered before it reached the clearing house and it was upon the complaint of Harry Diehl that Reid was brought before Justice Me- Kee and bound over to the supeEior court. Following word of his arrest, authorities in other cities visited by Reid began asking that he be re- turned to answer charges which they have against him.
 He Was Busy
 Reid not only cashed his checks at ! hotels but he used his manufactured 1 credentials to secure cash for his i checks from merchants in several cities visited. Officers who made l the investigation expressed the opin- i ion that Reid cashed on an average of five checks at every place on his
 routa. They found three checks for SIS 50 each made out by James c. Hillman, fictitious secretary of 1 the fictitious General American i Tank Car Corp, and payable to Blaine Furchgott, the name Reid used here when he registered at the hotel.
 1 Reid also carried complete sets of cards, letterheads and checks for the Pennsylvania Tank Car company of l Birmingham, Ala, and had a set of bank drafts and credentials bearing i the legend: Official Draft Texas i Hotel Keepers association" He also had hundreds of checks on banks in
 Tulsa, Little Rock, Memphis, Jack sonville and other cities.

as there was barely room and food for those already inside.'
 Relief officials estimate that there are approximately 100000 children in the famine area for whom the or ganization must assume immediate responsibility.
 Blame for the present situation in this country has been placed upon the invasion of the Kurds and other hostile forces last year. They re- mained until late in the spring, pre- venting the sowing of crops, besides carrying off all food supplies and live stock.
 With sufficient help to carry the inhabitants through the winter. the commission believs it will be able to care for many of the children un- til spring.
 What promises to be an intensely interesting feature on the program today is a showing of the moving picture Alice in Hungerland" which was made by two photographers who accomplished the commission. This will be shown free at 10:30 this morning at the Strand theatre by the courtesy of Richards and Mace and this evening, at s o'clock at the Methodist Episcopal church, Second avenue and Monroe street, to which there will be no admission charge.
 The ministers lof the city will be the guests of the Near East Relief at a. luncheon at VinciTs, 227 West Monroe street, to hear the story of the commission, while the schoo principals will meet at a 6 o'clock dinner at the same place
 In addition to the above. there will be an afternoon meeting at the Meth odist Episcopal church of particular interest to women and children. All residents of the Valley are cordially invited to hear these interesting sneakers. Admission free to al meetings, and no financial contri- buttons will be solicited.

Near the bottom of these wells are found horizontal pits separating thin layers of gneiss from the main mass. The high temperature during the day expands the plate of gneiss, causing the water to retreat into the cavity thus formed. only to be expelled at night when the gneiss contracts.
