SCHOOL NOTES

The Flagstaff high school girls basket ball team will play the Hol- brook girls tomorrow night at Hol- brook This will be the first game for the girls to play away from home this season. The girls are very en- thusiastic about their trip and we feel quite positive that they will render a good account of themselves. Up to the present they have played two games-losing the first game to the Normal girls and winning the second from Williams. Miss Reinhold, the coach, will accompany the girls on their trip to Holbrook.
 Through the kindness of MT. Berry we were notified that General DiaZ, commander in chief of the Italian army during the world war, would pass through Flagstaff on train No. 22 on his trip from the coast, and would stop for five minutes. In con- sequence of this announcement the Emerson school was dismissed for twenty minutes so that the children might have the opportunity Of seeing one of the worlds most famous gen erals.
 On Tuesday, November 22nd, the children of both Brannen and Elmer son schools were given the opportu- nny to contribute to the Marshal Foch medal fund. Each state has been requested bv president Harding to contribute $100 toward this fund, and in addition are asked to increase this amount, if possible, for the pur- pose of erecting two large high school buildings in the devastated re- zion of France - these buildings to be erected from the funds contributed by the school children of the various states, and are to be named the Wash- ington-L Lafayette and Foch-Pershing schools. Each student was asked to contribute at least one penny and as much more as he wished to give. The total amount collected was $19 - the Brannen school contributing $3 of this amount.
 The next issue of the Green and Brown will appear about December 10. This will be the Christmas num- Der and it will furnish our local sup. porters another medium, in addition to the local papers, Tor advertising their holiday sales.
 Last year one of the outstanding events of the school year was com munity day. The successful venture will be repeated this year on next Fri day at Emerson school. Perhaps you are not aware that the week in De- cember inclusive of the 4th and 11th is known as Education week. and a special effort is being made through out the state to have this event prop erly observed. A committee has been appointed from the Emerson school with Mrs. Noble as chairman, to pre- pare plan for the observance of this event and these are some of the plans. Friday, December 9th, is set aside as Community Day" whereby parents, guardians and citizens are earnestly requested to visit the schools at any time during the day and observe the regular class room work. At 3:30 on that afternoon all visitors will go to the Federated church where an inter- esting program will be rendered; speakers from the Normal school, Elm erson school and from the town will talk on various phases. Musical num- bers will intersperse the program and following this light refreshments will be served by the domestic science class under direction of Miss Agnes Houck.

HOW
LARGE CONCRETE BRIDGE
 WAS BUILT UNDER TENT


 WAS BUILT UNDER TENT By enclosing the entire work in a tent, a concrete bridge over the Little Goose river in Sher- dan county, Wyoming, was con structed during the winter months. The work Is described in Concrete In Architecture and Engineering, which Is thus quot ed in Engineering and Contract ing:
 Weather conditions last win- ter in that part of the country were the most severe enc0un- tered in many years, but be- cause the highway, of which this bridge formed a link, is . very important one, the state highway department saw the need of completing the bridge so that the road between Sher- idan and Dietz might be opened early in 1920 for the heavy farm hauling prevailing in that section. Construction work was started in the fall of 1919, and forms for the three spans erect ed. Before any concrete was placed. large tent was set up over the entire structure site and fires kept going in the en- closure in stoves with smoke outlets through the top of the tent. Aggregates and mixing water were heated. During the progress of the work snow- storm followed by severe cold lasting several days, tested the effectiveness of the tent. The housing proved equal to the emergency, however, and there was no particular difficulty in keeping the enclosure sufficient ly warm until the concrete had hardened. The work on this bridge suggests the application of the same principles to longer structures where 1t might be practicable to house in only one or two spans at a time. The same method could be applied to the construction of long walls and other relatively nar- row structures by housing in successive sections"

Last Sunday R. H. Drake, athletic supervisor of the Normal and foot ball coach, gave a turkey dinner for the team and those of Emerson High who came out to practice with the Normal fellows. Besides the foot ball players those present were presi- dent and Mrs. McMullen and Mrs. Drake.
 After the dinner most of the fel- lows went to the boys dormitory and tried various feats to outdo each other, such as kicking the electric light. Then they sang songs and told about the individual experiences of the football season.
 The Emerson fellows were guests of honor. Mir. Drake and all the fel- lows surely appreciated the earnest cooperation of the Emerson boys com ing out just to give the Normal fel- lows proctice.
 President McMullen and family gave a lovely turkey dinner for the foot ball boys yesterday evening. The dinner was served at 6 p. m., in or der that the boys might do to the basketball game between Winslow and the Normal girls.
 The table was beautifully decorated with pretty things and was especially typical turkey dinner. Everyone de- clared the turkey to be the largest they ever had share in participating in; one fellow thought it was an os- trich. When the boys finished with the great slices that the president carved there was only large turkey frame left.
 When everyone was fully satisfied and the president could urge no more upon them the party retired to the living room of the presidents cottage where an enjoyable evening was shared by all.
 Those present: MT. Drake, John Marine, Lloyd Rhoton, Roland Ham, blin, Elmer Jackson, Lawrence Camp bell, Leon Egner, Donald LaRue, Har- old Osborn, Melvin Yaeger, Kenneth Lennon, Buster Thornton, Walter Boice, Robert Kimbro, Bud Cameron, Jesse Gregg, George Anderson, Jack Sanford, Chester Black, Erdis Smith, and Roy McFate.
 The dinner was served by Mrs. Drake and Catherine and Lucretia McMullen.
 The Normal teachers who attended the state teachers meeting at Phoe- nix all returned very enthusiastic about the meeting. Miss Wheeler and Miss Julian gave talks in several of the sections. The alumni of the Nor nal and their friends met in the new banquet hall of the Adams hotel at noon on Wednesday. There were AZ present. Superintendent Will C.. Wood of California, superintendent

When Doctor william NJ. Stock
we'll left the local health board to
accept a position with the State
Tuberculosis sanitarium in Newing-
ton. he promised that he would do
all i'm his power to make the free
tuberculosis clinic in this city sue
cess. He started the idea here, and
every Tuesday he gives his own time
to come to this city and give free
advice and examinations to the people
who go to the clinic.
DIR. Stockwell is the son of Deputy
and he lived here when a boy, which
is accountable in part for his inter-
est i'm New Britain. He has always
been a booster for his home town.
During the war he was commissioned
a major i'm the medical corps and he
was the first commander of the AM
eriCan Legion post i'm this city. When
the boys were home. he acted as a

forts that the New Britain service
men turned out for the welcome
home celebration.
Very little is known by the public
at large of the good work the doctor
is doing along medical lines, but 1t
is due to his efforts that New Britain
has one of the best free tuberculosis
clinics in the State of Connecticut.

Lights and Shadows
By John J. DAILY
PEACOCK ALLEY

'Tis quite an institution now,
And sanctioned by tradition;
A lane where ladies loll and bow
And smile, in recognition;
While men from mountain and from
plain,
And maids from dale and valley
Do meet and mingle in the vain
Parade of Peacock Alley.
In afternoon, or early night,
The proud procession forming,
In twos or tours, at left or right,
Goes on it's endless storming;
And folk unknown, and those of fame,
Find time to dilly daily
And throw their hearts into the game
That's played in Peacock Alley.
The fiirt is ever lurking there,
In hope some heart will soften
And though his is vacant stare,
It's occupied quite often;
For there are those who come from
farms,
Like Abergail and Sally,
Who do not know the false alarms
That sound in Peacock Alley.
And there are those (How great the
way Old Wisdom works and
teachesD
Who know each word the tricksters
say,
Who've memo rized their speeches;
For ev'ry move some player makes
The Scorer keeps a tally
And he who wins is he who takes
The prize in Peacock Alley.
So strange the flock you sometimes
A-rubbing elbows, solely
To prove, it seems, Democracy
Will never die-not wholly;
For you may note, in close array,
And all the time quite pally,
The high, the low, the sad, the gay,
Mixed up in Peacock alley
Yet, strange to say, and it is true,
cit seems to me a sorrow)
The ones today who speak to you
won't know you on the morrow;
But that's the way it goes IN there
Where all the clans may rally
They freeze" you with an icy stare

R. R. MEN Fighting

Cuts Would Impair Living STAN
dard, They Say

Chicago. April 2S.--Reduction of
railroad wages would impair the
standard Of American living and
would have no justification in ethics,
economic reason or the cold, concrete
facts of present day industrial life, it
wat declared by IS. Nj. Jewell head
o. the railway unions, who opened
the employees fight to retain present
wage scales before the railroad labor
board today.
Contentious of the railroads that
the cost of living had declined since
the wage award of July. 1920, were
met with the reply that that award
was based on the prices of December,
1919, and not on those of July, 1929,
the peak of high prices. Mr. Jewell
declared that it would require three
years for railway employees at their
present wages to recoup the losses
sustained during the war period ''by
the failure of their earnings to keep
pace with the increased cost of liv-
ing"
The railroads rush in and say give
us our pound of fiesh.'" he said,
'even before it can be determined
whether the cost of living has actual
ly declined since the award of this
board or whether it will be higher
or lower in the future
Mr.. Jewell named prevailing wage
rates in similar industries and changes
in the cost of living the two main
considerations which should direct
the boards decision.
Coal mining and the steel indus
tries are only basic industries that
may be compared to the railroad in
dustry," he continued, land it is we'll
L.,

workers
I'm addition to the two main prin-
ciples set up as q guide for the board
in wage determinations. there are
also other and more fundamental con-
ditions which must receive judicial
Spotice. These are:
II. Economy and efficiency. The
transportation act requires that the
railroads operate with due economy
and efficiency. We shall show that
this has not been done; that because
of the financial control and policy OF
the railroads, resources have been dis
sipated or improperly distributed, i'm
provements and maintenance deferred
and operating costs greatly advanced
despite the increased work and pro-
ductive efficiency of railway employees.
our CONCLUSION snail DC therefore
that the board cannot entertain plea
for reduction in wages under any cir
cumstances until the INACCURACIES of
management and the high operating
costs resulting therefrom have been
eliminated.

expenses are. of course, fuel, supplies
Of all kinds and labor. We shall show
that the same financial interests
which control the railroads also con-
troll the production of fuel, timber,
equipment, oil and other supplies and
that they have determined upon pol
icy of decreas sing railroad expenses by
reducing wages and at the same time
charging unwarranted and unreason-
able prices for supplies which the
railroads must purchase. We shall
contend that this board should not
consider any complaints relative to

May Lose Peace.
1T is possible that after having won
the war, we of the allied nations, with
everything in our hands will allow
Germany to win the peace through the
efforts of her labor.
Labor on the whole can be paid only
what labor as a whole earns, and if
some sections of labor exact more than
their share of the current produce of
the world, other sections are going to
suffer. 1 understand that our railroads
today pay to labor over go cents out of
every dollar received. The labor cost
of making a ton of steel today is So
cents out of each dollar of total cost.
Labor costs underlie our railroad
difficulty. They are the cause of the
excessive railroad rates. We formerly
sold pig iron at profit at about S14.O 90
a ton. Today the total freight rates in
volved in making a ton of pig iron are
more than $14.OO.
But the railroads cannot give
service at present rates with their ex-
listing costs. -.-.
Railroad costs must come down, and
it is in the interests of national prosper
ity that our government acting through
