DURING PAST WEEK

After an illness OF three weeks.
Scout Raymond watson passed away
on Monday afternoon, April "a. His
funeral was held Thursday morning
and was attended by Il of his fellow
scouts, who provided flowers and
acted as pallbearers. The casket was
draped with the troop flag and the
12 scouts reverently laid him to rest
in Greenwood cemetery. A resolu-
ton of sympathy for the mother has
been written into their records.
Troop No. I, Phoenix
The inter patrol efficiency contest
going on in troop No. / of the Y. M.
c. A. is bringing in splendid results.
The rivalry between the patrols is
increasing, especially between the
Silver Fox and the Flying Eagle pa
trolls. The baseball team is practicing
every Monday and Wednesday night
and there are plenty Of scouts pres
ent to have full team and four or
five substitutes. A number of scouts
in troop one are going to attend the
Y. M. c. A. camp at the Garden OF
Allah during the second session this
summer and are planning to camp
together in one tent and to represent
troop No. 1.
Troop No. 6, Phoenix
Inc SCOUTS or In1S IrO0p TOOK a
prominent part in the staging of the
operetta Snow White" given by the
Wilson school last week. They are
planning a full attendance at the big
hike and field day on May 5 and 6.
Troop No. 3, Phoenix
On Friday, April 21, troop No. 8
went on an over night hike to the
Arizona canal, where the scouts spent
an enjoyable evening in swimming
and in other sports. About % tests
were passed while on this hike. Last
week these scouts were busy doing
troop good turns and reported six
for the week. That members of this
troop excel in other than scout work
is shown by the fact that three mem
bers of the troop were chosen to rep
resent the Phoenix high school in
class work at the inter- high school
state meet, given by the University
of Arizona at Tucson this week.
Troop No. I, Buckeye
This is the banner week in Buck
eye for real advancement in scout
work as more real tests were passed
this week than during any week in
the history of the troop. Saturday,
q scout of this troop saved the life
of one of his playmates by rescuing
him from drowning. when he jumped
into the Gila river in water over his
head, having mistaken the depth of
the water.
The efficiency contest has just
completed its sixth week and the
rivalry continues to be very keen.
The score as of last Wednesday is
as follows:

FIND PREHISTORIC
MUMMY IN CLIFFS

A prehistoric mummy only 80 inch
es long. with 20 teeth instead of the
usual %, with three fingers on each
hand and four toes on the left foot,
the right foot is missing entirely
was recently discover by Jack Will
son and Mrs. Dovey Smith in a cliff
dwelling near Wilson's place, which
is six miles above the Windmill ranch
on the east side of the Verde.
Though a hundred or more mum
mified dwarfs have been found in
the cliff dwellings along the Verde
and Beaver creek, this is the first
of fingers, toes and teeth. 1t is be-
lieved that he was a freak.
The mummy discovered by Wilson
and Mrs. Smith was wrapped in
coarse cotton cloth and had cotton
which still contained seeds. 1t was
determined long ago by scientists
that the prehistoric races which in
habited this region grew cotton and
wove cloth.
The right foot had been broken
off and it has not yet been located.
A number of other human bones are
in the same cave and the missing
foot may be among them.
Those who have examined the
mummy, which is now at Wilson's
farm, declare that the teeth are we'll
formed and evidently those Of an
adult, thus disposing of the theory
that the mummy may be the remains
of an infant.
The head is we'll formed and it is
believed that the owner was not a
person of defective mentality, regard
less of his stature and shortage of
digits.
On each hand are three perfectly
formed fingers, opposed to thumb
which is extraordinary in no way
whatever.
Years ago a government archae-
ologist found over 80 tiny mummies
in a cliff dwelling near Montezuma's
castle. All of those had normally
formed hands and feet but inforTna-
ton as to the number of their teeth
is lacking. In height they ranged
from is to 36 inches. These num-
mics are now in the Smithsonian in
stitution at Washington, D. c. Some
others We're disinIerred near the
mouth of Oak creek but their bones
We're simply thrown upon the ground
and are still to be found there.
For a long time the theory that
the aborigines of this section mum
mified their dead children was gener-
ally held but many competent inves-
tigators finally reached the conclu-
sion that at one time there were a
race of dwarfs in the Verde country.
Every cave in which the mummieS
have been found bears evidence of
having been fired and many believe
that the dwarfs were exterminated
by the ancestors OF the Indians that
were here when the white man came.

EVANGELIST HOLDS
BAPTISM SERVICE

The crowds that have been attend
ing the meetings now in progress at
the Adams school auditorium which
are being conducted under the aus
pices of the Church of Christ had
occa sion last evening to witness
baptisnlal service patterned after the
New Testament teaching. A large
crowd witnessed the event.
Evangelist Reedy spoke last night
to another large and appreciative
audience upon the theme. Which
Church Shall ! Join2s The main
points of the sermon were as follows:
The Bible speaks or one and only
one church and that church the one
that the Savior referred to in Mathew
rs when he says, upon this rock
I will build my church" IL some
one was to ask you which Christ you
believed in YOU would Immediately
saw the Bible Christ OF course. Like
wise as there is but one Christ
spoken Of in the Bible there is but
one church. So the question be-
comes. "Shall ! obey the gospel as
am taught TO obey it in the Bible and
thus automatically become q member
Of Gods and Christs church? The
reasons that you should become a
member of this church are many.
You should remember that Christ
died for the church and il you do
not become a member of II YOU Yir-
tually say to Jesus You died Tor
nothing But friends we are told
that Jesus is the Savior Of the body
the church so if we would be saved
we must be in that body or Christ
or the church which all means the
same thing. The question 70 use for
use for us all is, will / otey?'
The services continue every night
at 8 o'clock. You are invited to hear
the evangelist's sermons on Church
Identity, this week. Evangelist

GOLD TEETH OUT OF STYLE
Present Trend 10 to Preserve Tooth
and Make II Look as Much Like
Original as Possible. Il

Gold teeth are going out Of style,
according to practitioners and dental
experts. The present trend Is to pre-
serve the tooth TO make II look an
near as possible like 1t was originally.
If this can't be done the offending
molar or incisor must be pulled out.
The idea OF pulling teeth Is some
thing comparatively new In Americas
dentistry. The tendency was to save
the tooth at all costs. But dentists
have discovered that gold crowns are
unhealthful and permit foreign matter
to get into the teeth.
Bridge work also Is not as popu-
lar as 1t once was. To make a bridge
two good teeth were filed down as
anchors for the mass of gold In be
tween. If the bridge failed the two
good teeth on the ends went with IT,
Now dentists recommend plate OF
false teeth instead Of the bridge.
These being removable, are easily
kept clean. The dental science Is now
spending It's energies more on serv-
iceable plates rather than on bridges
