Driest Place In
us. A. In Arizona.
But Desert Sands, Not
Prohibition, Make
1t So.

.WASHINGTON-One of the driest
parts of the United States is what is
called the Papago country, region
including about $4,000 square miles in
southwestern Arizona, so called be-
cause it was long ago inhabited by the
nomadic Papago Indians. This broad
expanse of desert country, which lies
between Gila River and the Mexican
boundary, contains many groups of
volcanic and other mountains separat-
ed by broad alluvial basins, which,
though the rainfall is small and the
temperature is high, sustains a scant
growth of desert plants, including or
chard-like groups of strange trees
Here the bold slopes of the noun
tains, the general absence of watering
places, and the peculiar forms of the
vegetation impress the traveller strong
ly with the majesty and the mystery ol
the desert, and excite his wonder as to
the origin and history of the natura
features.

The Childishlessness of
the Child.

When thoughtful person looks IN
to the face of little child he sees writ
ten there, and also in the palms of his
hands and the soles of his feet, the
word, POSSIBILITY. Mediate on
that word, POSSIBILITY. Continue
to read it and think about its meaning
and you will discover that the word
leads you into one of two directions:
1t is possible for that little child to be-
come a great man, to be OF incalcul-
able benefit to his generation, and to
leave upon posterity the imprint of
noble life. The other direction shows
that it is possible for that child thru
neglect to become criminal-an edu-
Gated criminal-who will blight the
lives of thousands of people, and in
crease the tax burden of the commun-
ity in which he lives. 1t is possible
for him to become curse to his fam
lily, a menace to society, and a blot on
the page of history Which direction
do you want the POSSIBILITY to
take in your child's case?
The child is the indispensable unit,
the essential factor, and the master in
all spheres of human activity. Around
the child the world must revolve. From
the child society must evolve. Heaven
bends to bless and breathe benedic-
ton of infinite love upon the child
the infant king-of social destinies.
The child cannot become great, use
full, and powerful if the childishness
of the child is taken from it; if he is
robbed of the spirit of youth; taken
out of the sphere of innocency, and
deprived of the domestic blessings that

Parents are ambitious for their daugh-
tiers to become social factors, and for
their sons to become social leaders;
consequently, they are prematurely ad-

them, and introducing them to world
of social maturity they are robing
them of their childish nature, inclina-

ness.

"GREATEST EYER"
RADIO FANS SAY

"The greatest hang-up that ever
was" is the way radio fans today are
characterizing a humorous incident
that happened last night at the be-
ginning of Secretary of Labor Davis
address, by radio on THE Welfare of
the Worker" Mr.. Davis address was
broadcasted through NOF, the naval
air station at Anacostia.
The Labor Secretary took up the
receiver in his apartment at the
Wardman Park Hotel last night when
called, and Immediately after the
radio operator threw over the switch
releasing his voice on the ether he
began to read his address.
He had not been speaking a half
minute when the operator at the hotel
cut in with Number. please" Secre-
retary Davis, rettled. said, Operator
please keep off the wire"
He started speaking again, got a
little further along and again the
operator cut in, this time with Mr.
Secretary. your party has hung up
At this interruption, Mr.. Davis threw
caution to the winds and properly
"bawled out" the operator who had
so unceremoniously cut in on his mes
sage to the American people.
The "bawling out" as well as the
words Of the address, were broad
casted all over the country.
