spoke. The Normal school glee club
sang June Rhapsody. Attorney George
w. Crosby, Jr., spoke. The boys and
girls of st. Anthony's school sang
Let's Keep the Glow in Old Glory. Mr..
Zook pronounced the benediction.
Both addresses were good. Mr..
Lewis, a son of the southland, spoke
of the hardships the boys who wore
the gray had to endure upon return
ing from the losing fight they made
for what they then believed was right.
He also spoke of the last war, in
which were entered patriots from both
sides of the old line who fought side
by side with equal valor and equal
zeal for sacrifice. Mr.. Lewis was him
self among them, though he did not
say so. He concluded with a strong
appeal for continued patriotism and a
stern facing down of bolshevism and
anarchism.
Mr.. Crosby said the Civil war was
as much world war as the last war,

Patriotism was the warp and woof
of Tuesdays Rotary meeting, John @.
Thomas, city superintendent of
schools, having arranged program
that fit the theme and made big
hit with the bunch.
Of course, there had to be a little
foolishness to begin with, mixed in
with the routine business. President
M. I. Powers announced that because
Hugh Wheat will be away, Earl Sill

and the meeting will be at night at
Lowell Observatory, where everybody
will look at the stars. He said |. B.

having bought it, but escaped paying

BIG FOREST FIRE IS NOW
RAGING NEAR HOLBROOK;
TAKE CARE SAYS MILLER

"I don't know what has got into
tourists and others this year!" ex-
claimed Forest Supervisor Ed Miller
yesterday.
He was speaking about fires. There
have been a in the CocQnino forest
so far this year, an unusual number.
Mr.. Miller says tourists come
through and camp who have no spade
or anything else to put out their camp
fires. Sheep herders, picnickers and
others are carelessly throwing lighted
cigarettes and matches. around. Peo-
pie do this who wouldn't think of
dropping lighted matches on the rugs
of their own homes, where the results
would not be anywhere near as cost
ly. ).
Flagstaff would be in bad shape if
It were not for our forests and lumber
industry. Yet, even people who de-
pend on this industries for a living
in many instances are as careless as
any.
Just now they are having an awful
time with big fire south of Hol-
brook, between Wildcat creek and
Chevelon canyon, in the Sitgreaves
forest. They thought they had 1t un-
der control Tuesday night, but the fire
line was so long that when the heavy
wind that has since prevailed came
up it got away again. They can't
estimate its extent yet, but it is a
big fire. They called the forest office
here in Flagstaff for help, and Super
visor Miller sent truck load of show
els and ether fighting equipment.
They are using all the available fire
fighters from Winslow and Holbrook.
Deputy Forest Supervisor John A.
Adams says:
"When you leave camp fire when
out for picnic or camping trip, Sc
Iect a place away from logs sor trees,
scrap away the needles and dry de-
bris, then bury your fire with earth.
II you have water pour it on when
you leave. Safety first always is a
good slogan after ALL"

NORMAL COMMENCEMENT
ACTIVITIES BEGIN WITH.
FINE DINNER AND DANCE

Pep songs, good fellowship, jim
dandy dinner and then a dance feat
ured the annual faculty dinner at the
Normal school on Tuesday night.
1t was one of those enjoyable oc-
casions that are now so much looked
forward to when Flagstaff people
mingle socially with the talented, hos
pitable Normal faculty and add more
cement to the ties of friendship, SYM
pathy and understanding that have
been formed between them.
The guests gathered in Bury hall at
a little after six and a few minutes
later repaired to the cafeteria, which
had been prettily decorated with wild
flowers and where Miss Florence
Berchtold, the ever gacious and cap
able head Of the domestic science de-
partment and several of her pupils
began serving as soon as each had
found his place card.
President McMullen of the Normal
early announced that he was a free
agent for the evening, the master of
ceremonies being Professor r. G. Ste
venson, who in turn introduced Pro-
fessor Tom Bellwood who every little
HtllS JuIupcQ Ou Cilc1A anu HldOS
everybody sing from leaflets on which
had been typed songs especially writ
ten for the occasion.
Mr.. Stevenson told the guests that
while the dinner had been arranged
partly for the guests and partly for
the faculty, it was mostly for the
June graduates, of which there are
rs, IA from the high school de-
partment and II from the Normal de-
partment. Then the graduates stood
and each gave her name, birthplace
and occupation following graduation
Dir. McMullen, called upon to speak,
said he is one of "those fellows who
can speak or leave it alone" He said
the present June class is one of four
classes that graduate during the year
There will be bigger class graduated
in August, making a total of about 7E
graduated during the school year. Con-
sidering the number of juniors now
in the school, it is likely that more
than 100 will be graduated next year.
There are 100 per cent more stu
dents of college rank in the Normal
now than at this time two years ago.

WRITER, AND HIS FAMILY,
TO SUMMER In FLAGSTAFF

Albert w. Atwood, the famous
writer, with his family, arrived in
Flagstaff Tuesday by auto and will
remain here for the summer. Mr..
Atwood has written much of the cop
per industry of Arizona in the past
few months for the Saturday Evening
Post and expects to cover the indus
tries of the north in a series of art
icles this summer while here.
In speaking of the family leaving
Tucson, The Star says:
The Atwoods left in their car on
Sunday morning and planned to arrive
in the vicinity of Phoenix some time
Sunday evening, taking the trip lies
urely. They expected to camp out
there for the night and journey on to
Prescott yesterday, where they will
spend few days in order that Mr..
Atwood may enjoy the company of one
of his university classmate who is
banker in that city. Since Mr.. At
wood has been in Arizona, the two
have met occasionally when Mr.. At
wood stopped in Prescott between
trains, but they intend at this time
to renew their old friendship. From
Prescott the Atwoods will drive to
Flagstaff, where they will spend the
summer. They have secured house
which is attractively located on the
top of hill near the court house in
that city.
"Miss Betty Atwood is at present
enjoying the week of camping on Mt.
Lennon with the Girl Scout Desett
troop. Following her week there, she
will leave on Monday with the high
school girl reserves and will attend
with them the Iron Springs confer
ence. After that she will join her
family in Flagstaff.
"The Atwoods, who have been in
Tucson since last September, will
leave for their home in Princeton, N.
j., in the fall. During their stay here
Mr.. Atwood has written series of
articles for the Saturday Evening Post
on the copper industry. and another
series on the oil boom in Los Angeles,
two of which have been accepted but
have not yet been published. They
are expected to appear in issues of the
near future"

cert somewhere in Flagstaff some
time during this coming week" This
was given nine times in seven days

all who have heard it say it's worth a

Not one in twenty of our people have

lesser groups out near the Little Col

DIR. Fewkes says that the plains
and mesas bordering the Little Colo

of populous pueblos in prehistoric
times. There remain many descend
ants Of this former population who
now inhabit pueblos distant from that
stream. The. Zunis alone still live
on the banks of one of its tributaries,
and from the source of the river to
its mouth the ancient pueblos have
long since been deserted.

INSPECT V|ADUCTS HERE WEDNESDAY
City Has No Special Plans For Entertainment Of
 Legislators

No plans have yet been made by the city commission to entertain the committee from the legislature which will visit Birmingham Wednesday to inspect the site of the proposed un- derpasses at Railroad avenue. Presi- dent D. E. McLendon stated Monday morning he believed the committee will reach Birmingham on an early train and go immediately into an examination of the problem.
 The city is contending for under passes at Twentieth, Eighteenth an, Fourteenth streets and Viaduct most probably. at Twenty fourth street where these streets cross Railroad avenue, which avenue, in reality, is the right of way of the Louisville and Nashville, Southern and Seaboard Air Line railroads as they pass through the heart of the city
 Due to the extreme wideness of this right of way, or these rights of way, the crossings, at present. go over number of railroad tracks, the streets are necessarily obstructed by passing trains and traffic is almost disorganized and certainly Is greatly interfered with, officials say, be- tween the south and north sections of Birmingham.
