ARIZONA AGAINST PRESIDENT FOREST

In the absence of information as to the req sons senator Cameron had for opposing the ap- propriation for Grand Canyon national park be- yond those of economy which he stated, we sup pose one was the relation of the improvement of the national park to the formation of The Presidents Forest in the northeastern part of Kaibab forest. Mention is made in the dispatch describing senator Camerons success in having the appropriation stricken out, of one appropria- ti0n of S4,OO0 for constructing the Kabab trail completing the Hermit rim." The Kaibab trail is in the present Kaibab forest on the other side of the Grand Canyon.
 The idea of "The Presidents Forest" was sug- gested by Emerson Hough in the Saturday Eve ming Post The idea has been warmly supported by Stephen T. Mather, director of the national park service, department of the interior.
 MT. Mather does not go quite so far as Mir. Hough in divorcing that rich tract entirely from utilitarian uses and leaving it an object only of beauty, but even he goes much farther than resi- dents of Northern Arizona desire. More than that, MT. Mather sees no good reason why the whole strip north of the Grand Canyon should not be turned over to Utah.
 Northern Arizonans are opposed to the crea- tion of such forest as either Mir. Hough or MT. Mather has in mind It would sequestrate a vast tract which is now source of some revenue to the state. It would result in waste of "mel- low' timber which could be removed not only
 
 zion, but would enhance it. There would also be waste of rich grazing land. The Arizona Cattle Growers association has also gone on record against the creation of the park.
 There is still another objection but of which we are not likely to hear. At any rate, it will not be urged loudly. It is said that the Union Pacific railroad is potent force behind the movement with purpose to create rival re- sort and eXcelling that on the south side of the great gorge. Those who have travelled through that little known region say that it surpasses the southern rim in beauty and that the view of the canyon from that side equals if it does not excel that from this side
 We have been told that the Union Pacific, which has already built long spur in that di- rectiOn, will have a motor bus line running to the northern rim next summer and is contem- plating the erection of great hotel there.
 One result of such an enterprise would be to divide the tide of world tourists who are at- tracted to the Grand Canyon. It is probable that the larger part of them would prefer to come through the scenic regions of Colorado and Utah than over the less picturesque trail through New Mexico and Arizona. - Arizona Republican.

We regret very much the 'notoriety gained by our recent etymological research trip to Ha- waii. Many have either wilfully or maliciously misconstrued our purpose all the way from the insinuation that it was to ascertain how long the grass grew in Honolulu; whether it was the skirts that made the grass grow or the grass made the skirts grow. Whether we had visited Cuba on the way down there. All pure jealousy
 pure jealousy. The reason we stayed SO long was merely because we were near-sighted. Any how. "aloha, kamaainas." Which means, Hove, old-timers." The last word is stammered and the period is silent. Thus you see what foreign travel will do in the way of education. :,

Judge L. c. Root gave the members of the Rotary club good talk on the Lupton- -Holbrook section of the National Old Trails highway. con- vincing them that the people of Flagstaff were vitally interested in seeing that this section of the main highway was not left out even though state engineer Maddock would have it otherwise. The federal aid would be 61% as against 3996 to be paid by the county. The attitude of the state engineer is being pretty thoroughly stirred up in the north and there are hopes for good re- suits.

Former governor Hunt has taken the stand that not crossing of "t' or the dotting of an ri" in the way of changes in the constitution of the state shall be made and calls on all demo- crats to take the same stand Whether the former governor changes or not, the people and conditions do. There are many changes which should be made in the constitution for the bene- fit of the people governed and it is exceedingly poor taste for Hunt to take the stand that be- cause he and few democrats made this instru- ment, that it should stand for all time like the laws of the Medes and Persians The state should be going ahead and not backward.

LESSONS IN BASEBALL
Do Not Fall Away After Hitting the Ball
Copvright, 1922, by the International Syndicat

IT is not cnoughfto step in Just right,
TO swing with n level bat and in good
time, to clean hard on the balls, fol
low through. etc. There is one other
thing YOU must do after hitting. That
thing is to hold your feet, not to fall
away, to stagger back from the ball
after you have hit it.
1t is not that anything you do after
YOU have hit the ball helps or hurts
verv much. 1t is that the fact that you
follow through and do not fall away
proves that YOU have hit the ball right
rather than that they help the stroke
! that makes them important.
| Most of tc good hitters hold their
| feet fast, that is keep the feet in the
position in which they were when the
| bat met the ball, after they have fin
| ished their strokes, after the ball has
been sent on its journey.
! Poor batters will often fall away from
| the plate when they have hit the ball
| This shows that they have hit too hard
without good sight and in poor time,
| Falling away proves that you did not
step well, hit in good time, did not hit
with a smooth motion. Falling away is
really doing fatal thing, Going away
from instead of towards the ball and
If is a set maxim of all ball games that
n PLAYER should, whenever possible, be
going towards the ball never away from
! it,
Some batters step well enough anc
start the swing we'll enough but fail t'
complete the swing and then fall away
from the ball, that is fall back toward,
the catcher or away from the plate
The good htters all finish up then
swings with the body, especially the
head and shoulder well forward to
wards the pitcher.
1t will be noticed, at times, that som'
PLAYERS take q fierce swing, miss th'
ball, turn completely around, etc., ever

They do not and cannot get good re

Losing the feet is usually an indlca
ton of hitting too hard. Remember tina
while the ball should be hit firmly an
powerfully there is such thing q

BAD STRETCH FIXED
ON INLAND ROUTE

A bulletin just received at the Auto
mobile Club of Southern California ad-
vases of several new roads for the use
of motorists which are being opened in
the southern part of the state. One Of
the most important is the section OF
highway between Lancaster and Mojave
on the inland trunk line Which connects
the Mexican boundary with the inland
points north. This is welcome news to
hunters and fishermen as it means the
elimination of bad stretch Of road
which caused considerable trouble last
year. The completed boulevard is 25
miles long and effects the entire motor
ing body of southern California.
An auto club scout car has just com
pleted a trip over the highway from the
Mexican border to Ensenada, part of
which was washed out last winter, and
reports that this road is now open tC
travel for those who desire to make q
! trip into Mexico. There is tax of from
| $5 to $15 to get out of Tijuana, the
starting place of the highway. The high
way is passable at present and is rapid
| " being put in first class cndition as
the Mexican authorities expect heavy
travel down the coast this summer. Thl
route of the highway parallels the
coast for 80 miles and is very pictur.
esque, being compared to the European
Riviera by those who have made the
trip.
All routes to Big Bear valley will be
open by the end of this month, though
at present the only way of reaching
the lake is by way of the desert route
The Auto club has prepared a set of
instructions for the use of motorists
during the summer for the purpose of
helping to make things more pleasant
while driving in Southern California
The instructions advise drivers to re-
port all suspicious appearing cars to the
authorities, and warns them to lock
their lars any time they may be parked
unoccupied. The necessity of proper
signaling while driving is pointed out
and attention is called to the risk in
volved in giving rides to strange chill
dren, many of whom are afterward
found to be runaways, thus bringing the
innocent autoist into conflict with the
law 1t is stated that accidents by auto
mobiles cost Los Angeles alone the enor-
nous sum of $19,S70,000 last year and
parents are advised to forbid their
children playing in the street or ON high
WAYS. The Auto club has "guest y
tags for eastern friends of club mem
bers, which entitle them to club privi
leges and will gladly give them infor-
nation relative to points of interest Oh

HOW BAKER "HOLDs HIS FEET"
Frank Baker, of the New York Amer
leans, has hit the ball SO hard that his
body has been entirely swung around
but, like all good hitters, he keeps his
feet in the places that they were in

Banton Absolves Drexler
ut Blame for Pie Deaths
Board of Health Expected to
Give Restaurateur New
Permit for Place

District Attorney Banton yesterday
addressed letter to the Board of
Health in which he stated that the in
vestigation conducted by his office
showed that Samuel Drexler, proprie-
tor of the Shelburn Restaurant, 1927
Broadway, was in no way to be held
accountable for the placing of arsenic
in the pastry of that restaurant, which
resulted in the death of six persons
who ate there on July 81. He therefore
saw no objection, he said, to allowing
Mr.. Drexler to reopen the restaurant.
The Board of Health also holds Drex-
ier blameless, and it is expected that
in the next few days it will issue a
permit for him to resume business.
Inquiries made yesterday of various
restaurant owners showed that while
their sale of pie was greatly curtailed
for two or three days after the poison

''Black Hand Threat to
Town Trustee Stirs Rye
Anonymous Letter Warns Of
fetal TO Force Early Clos
ing of Park

Black Hand letters and mysterious
threats have been stirred into the agi-
tation that has set the town Of Rye by
the ears regarding the closing hour
Tor the beach pleasure parks. Yester-
day Town Trustee Josiah w. Bulkley
received an anonymous letter telling
rim to "Beware!" It bears skull and
tiossbones where the signature should
be, and the excitement is intense.
The trouble started when an amuse-
ment park which was refused a IL
cense by the town obtained an injunc-
tion prohibiting the town from inter
ference. Running in opposition to the
establishment operated by Colonel l
Austin Kelly, which has the official
sanction, the, intruders kept open until
1880 o'clock. Previously Kelly's place
had closed at 10:30. but in the face of
the new opposition the Kelly Park also
decided to remain open an extra hour.
To this the residents object, com
planning that the late operation of the
parks costs them sleep. Bulkley holds
the controlling vote in the village
Board of Trustees, but at the last meet
ing he declined to cast it, saving that
he required moro time to think the
matter out.
The letter he received yesterday
read:
Unless you intend to bring up the
subject and vote to close the Rye
Beach Amusement Park at 1O:30 p. m.
do not attend the meeting of the Board

York.

on earth can prevent his attending the

300 Brighton Beach
Residents Demand
Free Path to Surf
indignation Meeting of the
Bungalow Colony Objects
to Bathhouse Owners
Decision to Close Lanes

More than 500 residents of Brighton
Beach, whose access to the sea is
threatened by the decision Of Samuel
Gumpert to bar them from passing
through the bungalow colony on the
shore and from Railroad Avenue, which
leads to the Parkway Baths, of which
he is proprietor, held an indignation
meeting last night.
They organized the Brighton Beach
Protective Association and elected Jo-
seph Aronson, of Is Lakeland Place,
chairman of its executive committee
If Mr.. Gumpert is successful in refus-
I ing them permission to pass through
his property, the people who live back
from the beach at this point must walk
ten or twelve blocks to reach it.
MANY members of our association" !"
said Mr. Aronson, "bouoht their homes
with the promise that these lines never
would be closed. Others feel that the
Luilding restrictions are unfair as we'll
as the closing of the streets
ave managed to keep the expression
o. much bitter feeling out Of our meet
ing. however. and simply took steps to
obtain access to the beach legally. If
we fail to reopen the bungalow thor
oughfares we shall petition to have a
street cut through"
Mr.. Gumpert said that it was possi-
BILE some of the inlanders had bought
their property with the unders standing
that they had the right to cross his
land o reach the sea, bu if so, they
we're deceived by he person from whom
they bought it, as heh ad made no such
promise.
If the residents of the district back
of his bungalow colony and baths
merely wanted to use his property for
their own goipgs and comings, he con-
tinued, it would not be so bad, but they
rented rooms in their homes as dress
ing rooms, and on Sundays and holidays
an irresponsible throng of half-dressed
men and women, strangers to the neigh
borhood, surged through the bungalow
colony to the beach.
II received a petition from persons
renting my bungalows" he said, ask
ing me to close the lanes to the beach
because of the noise made by late bath
ers. The lanes pass through private
property and l have closed them. Now
am going to close the street which
runs by my bathhouse. That is pri-
