 "One of the best services given to any community iJ that of the nurse and in Prescott and its vicinity, the work has been unusually well con ducted.

 The seals have been sent to the business houses and it is earnestly hoped by the committees i'll charge that success will be met. The school children will be given their seals on Friday and an exhaustive canvass of the entire city will then be made.
 The Christmas seal drive is not confined to Prescott. All the county is helping Every dollar invested ill these artistic seals serve a double purpose, for they help stamp out tu bcrculosis and they also send real, genuine Christmas greeting.

EDISON CO. |S
 DRILLING GLEN
 CANON DANSITE

The Southern California Edison company and the United States geo. logical survey have forces of men at work ill Glen canyon. core drilling lat Lees Ferry, according to Edward Smith, mine operator of this city and Ash Fork. The object of this drill ing is to determine the formation of the bedrock and surface strata of the region, which is regarded as a feas- ible site for establishing the first dam of the Colorado river project.
 Glen canyon is favorably located for this purpose, say those who favor it, affording a means of i'm pounding a vast amount Of water back of a natural damsite. If the geological formation of the territory proves satisfactory, Lees Ferry will undoubtedly receive consideration in the selection of sites, according to Smith.
 Government engineers, together together with employees of the Edison company have established headquar- tcrs of considerable size at Lees Ferry, which they will use as base of operations for the whole region.

LINKING MOVIE AND RADIO
British Scientists Have Some Success
in Wireless Transmission Of
Motion Pictures.

British scientists are reported to
have met with more or less success in
developing method of transferring
motion pictures by radio. Some
months ago photograph was trans
ferred by wireless from the Copen-
hagen newspaper, the Politiken, to Eng
land, and later from England to ship
In mid Atlantic, SO that the POSSIBLE
ity Of linking the movies with the new
art is not remote.
II perfected the new development Of
the already versatile art will make It
possible for one to see on his own re-
ceiving instrument things that are hap
pening Mt great distance. For
instance, ship is sinking at sea. The
transmitting station of the vessel, in
stead of sending a message of the dis
aster, sends picture that anyone with
receiving set will be able to see just
as the present broadcasting programs
are heard.
That all sounds remote now, but
the telephone was considered even
more SO, and the wireless, even after
Marconi's immortal message had
brldged the Atlantic. was generally be-
lieved to be akin to the idea of per-
petual motion.
