S. p. Now Has Water
Wagon To Allay Dust

Ifavelers from Phoenix 10 Los
Angeles who take the Southern Pa
cific route will soon be protected
against the dusty stretches of the
desert by specially designed sprink
lers to be attached to the locomo-
tives, it was announced yesterday by
Dick Smith, district freight and pass
enger agent of the Arizona Eastern
and Southern Pacific railroads.
Along the Salton sea, in California,
where the sand is almost as fine as
face powder, passengers on the rail-
road have been greatly discommoded
in the past by dust The Southern
Pacific company has long expert
mented to stop this annoyance, and
has at last devised a means which
is proving a great success.
A water sprinkler is attached to
the underside of a locomotive and
operated under pressure over the
dusty stretches. Experiments are
being made between Indio and Palm
Springs, Calf, where the sprinkler
is being tested out with favorable
results.
The scheme is an innovation and
the sprinklers will soon be attached
to all locomotives running through
the desert regions.

Thomas z. Campbell was unknown to
them. Particular zest was added to
the relating of this incident because
of the presence of several National
Bank of Arizona officials among the
auditors.
e s. clark, local attorney. declared
that ignorance of banking methods
and purposes was proving to be one
of the greatest Of present day
menaces.
Ignorance of big business institu-
tions and systems of this country is
being taken advantage of by radicals
reds and those whose desire 1t is to
overthrow the government" he said.
ITO the ignorant and the improvident
they picture the bank as an oppress-
i've institution and use 1t as an argu-
ment for the complete revolutioniZ-
ing of present methods and systems
Commenting the purpose of the
American Institute of Banking to
give those connected with financial
institutions a broad comprehension of
the banking business, the speaker
urged that information of similar
character be disseminated generally
to the public. He especially urged
that the real services rendered by
banks to the public be made more
widely known.
During his talk the speaker found
occasion to attack Senator Robert M
IaFollette for his advocating. at a
meeting of working people in Cincin-
natl recently, that congress have
power to veto any decision of the
supreme court.
Other speakers on the program in
cluded Judge o. j. Baughn of Flor
~ence and Prof. Harold j. Jansen OF
the junior college and also directing
a course Of study for members Of the
A. l. B. Very enjoyable musical
numbers interpolated the speaking
program.

There is only one way In which

repeating the prohibition amend

"and there are various organizations
actively engaged In asking Congress
that Il authorize the sale OF wine and
