MerelY Wanted to Ride

Jesus Michael. an Indian boy re- siding at Chandler, finds himself in the tolls of the law because, as he says, "he tried to get ride home" He admitted to officers that their coming and his ultimate arrest was some relief from the mental tor ture he endured while looking down the barrel of a .3S calibre revolver. It all happened in the following man ner:
 Michael had started afoot from Phoenix to Chandler. deciding to walk until a stage overlook him. He left Phoenix about 9 o'clock. A little after 10 o'clock, as he was nearing the Green Mill Garden, a machine ap- preached from the west headed east.
 Believing il 10 be a stage. he swung onto the side of the car as it slowed down, he told officers. And as he swung, the driver of the car, a man from Flagstaff, reached for his re- volver in the pocket of the machine | door. By the tme Jesus had righted himself on the running borad, the autoist had the gun in play. While he held the Indian boy al
 the point of his gun, another member ! Of the Flagstaff party went to .

CITY OBSERVES
 CHRISTMAS IN
 JOYOUS SPIRIT
Day One of Happiness Des- bite Rain - Churches Have Special Programs Children Made Merry By Visit of Old Santa Claus

Phoenix paid it's homage yesterday to the Christ child-and its homage prayerfully and joyously. It was day of reverence, yet of happiness, and though dark clouds overcast the skies and rain fell from noon to mid night it was a day of brightness, of cheerfulness-such brightness and cheerfiilness as many had not eX- per'ieneed in months
 Came old Saint Nicholas from out of the nowhere into the somewhere, tarried a while and then back again to that mythical land that is his that land of toys of dolls, or roller and ice. skates, of kiddie kars and what not. His visit was brief this year-he had so many to see What joyous mission it was. though, for the old fellow overlooked not a one. He divided his pack with the rich and poor alike; he brought comfort and good cheer to. the needy; he brought relief to the suffering.
 So the Phoenix observance of Christmas day took greater signifi- | canoe this year than for many years past. Everyone participated. The air was charged with the spirit of good fellowship and peace on earth, ! good will toward men,
 Special services, morning and eve l nlng, were featured at all churcheS ot | the city, with special Christmas mu- sical programs at the Catholic church. Last night the choir at Trim | ity cathedral sang Handefs immor- tai oratoria, Messiah"
 The big majority of citizens, after | attending church, spent the day quietly at home. It was a day espe- cially adapted to home staying. Theaters of the city had arranged | special Christmas programs for the benefit of their patrons and, though, the day was unfavorable, good crowds were reported.
 l Prisoners at the city and county jails fared unusually well. Old fash | toned Christmas dinners were served at each jail. with turkey, cranberry
 sauce, mashed potatoes and hot
 nlince pie a part of the ration.
 Religious services were conducted
 at both jails by the Salvation Army
 which organization distributed fruits
 nuts and candies to the prisoners.
 The day, records show, was one O the quietest Christmas days ever ob
 served here. There were no acci
 dents to mar the happiness of tn
 day, no fires to detract from the joy fitness of the occasion. Although
 hundreds of Christmas trees were en
 joyed, they were lighted almost en
 tirely by tiny electric light bulbs thus minimizing the chances of fire.

PLANS IF WOMEN'S CLUBS FOR YEAR
 TOLD IN MESSAGE

An inspirational Christmas greeting to. the club women of the United States, sent out by Alice Ames Win ter, president of the general fed eration of Women's clubs, has been received by Mrs. H. A. Guild, auditor of the federation and one of the prominent women in state and na- tional club circles. Incidentally Mrs. | Guild, who is secretary of the State Child Welfare board, leaves the lat | ter part of this month to attend a meeting of the executive board of the federation and will be present at a conference. immediately thereafter which will consider the child welfare problem in all its aspects. At this last named conference she hopes 10 gain some very valuable ideas for utilization in her work in this state. \ The plans of the women for the coming year are Realistically practi cal, Mrs. Winters declares in her message. It reads as follows:
 My dear Club Friend:
 This carries with it to you my warm Christmas expression of fel- lowship. and my wishes that the com ing year may be one of closer under . standing and more effective unity of
 effort between us.
 T am going 10 ask you to join with
 me n a New Years resolutions
 resolution to bring into being the
 wish expressed above. Recently an English newspaper man characterized
 Mir. Hughes great speech as that of
 "an idealist speaking for a nation oi
 idealists, not a dreamer speaking for a nation of dreamers." The differ ence between them is that the ideali.st
 is the man who has the power to put his visions into realities, instead oi letting them drift off into space as
 dreams.
 . Tt is wonderful thing to carry z with us into every day the conscious , ness that the day is a fragment ci , eternity. and into every act the reali-
 fulfillment of the great order we cal l Cosmos.
 You and are knit together in l; f purpose as big as America, ana America is as big a the world. Ou . purpose is so to dovetail the activite, . of myriad women that they shall con e tribute, each its little. to the solidi |, flying of our national ideals. A y Christmas time we see afresh. ever!
 year. how close those ideals are t r religion.
 a Our part is to be practical in ou e idealism.
  n me that we will speed the process d i've will get over to our group l. the message that shall convince theT l. of the importance of unified effort 1t to combat the disintegrating force
 that are so menacingly at work |
 America today.
 "2-We will make the voice of oal s- anced and sane women heard. m "S-We will get that continuity le effort without which all our labor are spasmodic and jerky. IT To be concrete. believe the mean IS of carrying these three purposes r. success are:
 n "1-Intensified orga niza ton wor IT, between state and general federation T. "2-Adequate and intelligent pull
 licity.
 m "3-Permanent headauarters, l: 10 means Of keeping ordered purpose ie place which clubs and the non-clu le public rely on. while administration ns come and go.
 p Let 1922 bring these things. st. with all the seasons hope al hs faith,
