 Sanitary Inspector Mir Trachtenberg, while somewhat disturbed over an order which compell. ed him to dig through several feet of frozen 'ground, started on the task and completed it as soon as possible consid- ering weather conditions.
 The cesspool was dug and doing work long before MT Troland wrote The Bull letin and the cesspool is still function ing.
 The sanitary inspector visited Mir Troland twice and told him that our or. der was being carried out and he ex. pressed satisfaction
 It is a fact that there is no sewer or the part of the street in question SC that cesspooI was the only remedy. MT. Troland writes further that hi. profession knows that typhoid feve, emanates from sewer gas. This is no truth because one cannot know thing that does not exist. In order tt contract typhoid fever the germ mus be swallowed and not breathed, as it i disease taking root in the intestines MT. Troland then, has made thret false statements:
 1. That there has been no abate ment of the nuisance"
 ?. That vet nothing has been done 2. That fits well known in our pro fession that both typhoid fever an, diphtheria emanate from sewer gas" MT Trachtenberg has stated that h wished to connect his property with drain now running through MT.

The piscoverer of America

we have received a small mass of literature
from some one interested in securing recognition of
the discovery of America by the Norsemen. We
think no moderately well informed person will with
hold such recognition. 1t is not claimed now If 1t
ever was that Christopher Columbus ever saw the
American continent. There is what is regarded
as incontrovertble proof centuries before Yes
pucci touched the continent Left Ericsson and his
crew of Vikings had visited and established winter
headquarters on Cape Cod. We think substantial
recognition of the claim of the Norsemen has been
given in the great statue Ericsson which has been
erected at Cambridge.
More and more documentary evidence OF the
voyages of Ericsson and other Norsemen is being dis
covered but need more in the way Of proof
Included in this later evidence is testimony to the
effect that Columbus in 1477, fifteen years before
the date of the Discovery Of America visited Iceland
and interviewed seafaring men who had inherited
knowledge which more than tradition, of great
country lying to the west
We used resent the fact that America so
named rather than Columbia. 1t seemed to that
vespucci was an interloper. That he had no busi-
ness to come here at all. The country had been
discovered by Columbus So why did he want to
and infringe the discovery?
We know now that neither Columbus ves-
pucci discovered it, that 600 before either of
them the Mortimer were here and have reason to
believe that Columbus knew that. We regret that
he was not frank than he was when he was
pretending he seeking shorter cut to India.
But after all to Columbus must credit be given
for turning his discovery to account Ericsson
had failed to do If had come after
him by this time his voyages would have been for
gotten and would still be bowling wilderness
The difference between Left and Cristoforo is the
difference between unprogressve businessman

AME MOMENTS ARE
DISCUSSED BY THE
MAR|COPA CO. c. OF c.

Twenty y-six members of the Mari
copa county chamber of commerce
met at the Phoenix chamber of COM
merce yesterday afternoon at 1870
o'clock to hear the report of the leg
islative committee relative to num-
Der of proposed amendments to the
state constitution.
Delegates present represented most
of the various towns and communities
in Maricopa county. Civic workers
and enthusiastic boosters were there
from Phoenix, Mesa, Glendale, Tempe,
Chandler, Higley, Buckeye, Scotts-
dale, Gilbert, Kyrene and other points.
The legislative committee present.
ed the various amendments to the
constitution TO be voted on at the
September election, and the provi-
sions of some of the proposed amend
ments We're discussed in detail The
general sentiment as to the adoption
of the amendments was favorable,
but 1t was decided to ask the commit
tee to put its report in writing for
submission at future meeting.
A resolution urging a more extern
sive use of Maricopa county farm
products was adopted. 1t was de-
cided to send copies of the resolution
to all organizations in the valley.
The secretary was instructed to pre-
pare the resolution in bulletin form
for mailing.
Senator H. b. Wilkinson gave a
short outline of the proposed short
airline route to Los Angeles via
Blythe. The plan was heard with
much interest and was generally dis
cussed by the meeting. The matter
was referred to the road committee
of the chamber, of which w. X.
Bowen is chairman, for consideration.
The committee is expected to report
at the next meeting. The delegates
present We're asked to present the plan
to each of their respective communi-
ties so that a general discussion of
the idea may be carried on at the
next meeting.
Many other matters OF interest to
the Salt River valley as whole were
considered at the meeting yesterday
before adjournment.
The meeting was in charge of o. S.
Stapley, president Of the chamber,
and in the absence of the county sec
retary, Harry Welch of the Phoenix
chamber Of commerce acted in his
place.

Preserving Newspapers
How to preserve newspapers is a
more difficult problem. The New
York public library has hit on a plan
which it regards as satisfactory. Each
page of news print in bound volume
| is enclosed in thin Japanese tissue.
| To prepare one volume of a news
paper, containing only a months is
sues, by this method, costs $45. But
with an eye to the future. when the
| newspapers of today will be valuable
old historic documents, the New York
| library is using this tissue for cur
rent, newly bound volumes.
The libary of congress does not go
to this expense and labor in keeping
its great collection of newspapers.
| There is an extremely fine grade Of
tissue, called crepeline, that is used
on important papers to keep them
from falling apart and the library OF
congress has used this material on
one or two volumes of its Oldest news,
papers.
Great skill is required in applying
this crepeline to sheet of paper.
The material is a sort of chiffon, a
mixture of silk and mercerized cotton
so filmy that it is almost transparent.
The page that is to be preserved with
the tissue is first treated with fine
flour and water paste. The paste
must be of exactly the right grade,
and the big camers hair brush must
lay it over the paper so that no
brush marks are left, and so that the
coating is absolutely smooth. Then
the crepeline is laid smoothly on top
and the page is put under heavy
pressure between paraffine sheets.
The paste is taken up by the paraf-
fine, but enough is left to fasten the
threads of the tissue to the paper.
The agreement of secrecy of the
continental congress and the only
surviving draft of the Declaration of
Independence are among the docu-
ments that the library Of congress
has preserved with this transparent
covering
Caring for the governments col
lection of books and papers includes
not only the rebindlng and repairing
of them when necessary. but also OF
keeping them clean. The task of dust
ing so large a collection may be
imagined from the fact that it takes
a man with a vacuum cleaner a
month to clean the books on one deck
of stack. To make the round of the
stacks in the building at this rate
would take three years.
Books in this library do not col
lect dust so rapidly as books on the
shelves n a home. The stacks are
MORE
as nearly dust proof and damp proof
as possible. Windows in the stacks
are never opened. A ventilating sys-
tenn keeps the air fresh.
Because Of the dryness. the library
has no trouble with ants or book
worms. Insects of this sort sometimes
get into imported books, especially
when they are brought over in the
hold of a ship, but such books are
generally disinfected before being put
on file and in the dry and uncon-
genial atmosphere of the stacks any
survivors soon die.
The cockroach is the only insect
that has ever annoyed the library of
ficials by insistent vitality. At one
time cockroaches got into some of
the books and developed an enormous

The Course of Prices

An interesting and Illuminating article on the
movement of prices of commodities between the

appears in last weeks Literary Digest, Illustrated by
charts, graphs and tables It is shown that prices
have always advanced sharply after the outbreak of
great wars. suddenly rising to a sharp peak with
preepitous sde and that they recede more slowly

loyer-lying peaks No plains. however, are shown
for in peace periods prices continually rising and

A Word to the Committee
Phoenix, Ariz.
June 13, 1922.
| NJ GT. McCalla, Chairman,
| Democratic State Central Com
mittee,
S43 North Fifth Avenue,
| Phoenix, Ariz.
| My Dear McCalla:
| I have viewed the situation with
growing distress, concern and amaze
| ment that representative of the state
Democratic central committee are go
| ing over the state advocating the
candidacy of Hon. Charles B. Ward
! for governor
1t has always been my conception
| of the principles of Democracy as
expounded by Thomas jefferson and
| by great statesmen of later days that
the function of the central committee
was solely to meet our natural enemy,
the Republican party, and not for the
purpose of advancing any particular
candidate until after his selection in
the primary as provided by law.
In view of the fact that represen-
tatives of the state Democratic cen
trail committee have by word of
mouth been spreading the propaganda
that the Hon. George w. p. Hunt is
not candidate for governor, subject
to the will of the voters in the Demo-
cratic primary on Sept. IL, 1922, l
will here and now state that the
nomination papers of Mr.. Hunt will
at the proper time be filed with the
secretary of state as provided by the
laws of the state of Arizona.
l will most respectfully call your
attention to an article that was pub
lished in the Arizona Daily Repub-
lican under date of June s, 1922 tand
similar reports are being circulated
by the state Democratic central COM
mittee), wherein it was stated that
number of the leading Democrats OF
the state had repudiated Ex-Governor
Hunt and We're using their best et-
forts to have with withdraw from
the gubernatorial race. The answer
Of ex- Senator Homer S. Wood of
Prescott, published in the Arizona
Republican under date of June IL,
1922, is a complete reply to this un-
truth.
Therefore, as / have always con-
tributed in my feeble way the best
that / may have had in me to the
Democratic party in Arizona since
statehood and have always added
what financial support my financial
condition would permit, having
agreed in 1920 to contribute the sum
OF SIS per month, or total OF SlzO,
to the support of the state Democratic
central committee, of which | have
up to date paid substantial por-
lion, and as the state Democratic CEN
trail committee, contrary to the prln-
ciples of the party, is aiding and
abetting in primary fight instead OF
marshaling their strength to defeat
tl,a ,,ora,,aop a0arny I heIipVa that
would be anliss to my duty and a
traitor to my conscience if | did not
at this time withdraw my moral and
financial support from the present
state Democratic central committee
Holding you personally in the high
est esteem and with best wishes and
liindest regards, | am,
Very truly yours,

Braley Dolly Poem
MAGECTANS
BY BERToN BRALEY

The olden magicians bearded gray
They did all their stunts in a ponderous way
They mixed up strange potons that bubbled and smoked
And all of the spirits of wrath they invoked;
They called the devil all his relations
They muttered dread phrases fierce nominations
Like "Abracadabra" and Allagazam,"
And yet at the finish their magic sham.
The modern maglcians kids in their teens,
With nothing of hokum bunk in their beans;
Some pieces of junk bundle of wire
Are all that these up-to-date wizards require
To build you a radio set that will tap
The that hurting all the map;
They bring you that throb through the air
Believe me, these boys magcians for fair
If old Cagliostro Merlin came back
Those priests of a magic excessively black
They'd find themselves humbled by freckled kid
Who works enchantment than they did;
And when they returned to the wizards long dead
No would believe half what they said
And thin spectral laughter would follow all through
Their tale of these marvels that children do.
