his bride was Al Mrs. Bawcom had
been saleswoman in Denver Dep

went to work as Housekeeper in
Bawcom's Rooming House.
Jealousy the Motive
Bawcom, in a fit of jealous rage,
goaded by his brides frankly ex-
pressed disappointment that he was
not wealthy as she had believed him
to be, whipped a 32-caliber Ludger
pistol from bureau drawer, shot her
just above the left ear, threw himself
upon her body in an agony of grief,
clutched her about the shoulders and
with his left arm, placed the muzzle
of the weapon to his right temple,
and followed her into eternity.
A day and a night passed and al
most another day before the bodies
were found The double tragedy was
discovered by L. w. Cormican and w.
B Benso, both dodgers in the house
Entering the Bawcom's apartment,
what they saw there sent them stun1b-

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
ART EXHIBIT

The famous Elson Educational Art
Exhibit will be on display at the
Washington School Auditorium some
time between April 4 and April Z.
The exact time will be announced
later. 1t is hoped also to give a Ra-
dio Concert at the same time. This
exhibit consists of two hundred large
carbon photographs, and photogra-
vures and pictures in full color of
the Worlds masterpieces.
This will undoubtedly receive the
hearty support of the community as
ali proceeds are to be used in pur-
chasing pictures for the schools
Watch for exact date.
Report Cards
Report Cards for the regular six
weeks period were given out last
week. These cards are importans
and should be closely examined by all
parents. They are message from
the school to the home. For infor-
nation on any grade or point the
parent should consult the teacher.
If the grade in a particular subject
or one siX-weeks period is lower
than those of previous six-weeks per-
iods something is probably wrong.
the grade is very much lower the
parent should confer with the teach
er
The grading is done by figures or
'etters as /, 2, 3, 4, 5, or A. 3. G. d.
E. l or A is Superior work, 2 or b
is above the average, or G is the
average, or d is below the average,
5 or E. is failure.
Students are about the same every
where and the most scientific distr1-
button of grades that has yet been
worked out is about as follows;
per cent of the grades should be is,
Is per cent should be 2's, 60 per cent
should be 3's. Is per cent should be
as. ; per cent should be 5s. This
rule is hot irOn-clad or inelastlc, yet
we can see there is some scientific
basis for it when we realize that
vast majority of students are average
students as a vast majority OF people
are Just average people. There are
a few above and a few below this
dividing line.
Many times a student who should
receive an average mark or one above
the average, falls below because OF
lack of application. Here is one OF
the Schools big problems-to get the
student to make an honest enort-to
use the powers that are his. Here
also is a place where the home can

Vim. c. McADOO
WINSLOW VISITOR
MAY CONE AGAIN

The Hon VIM G. McAdoo, Secretary
of the Treasury, and Director Gener-
al of Railroads, in the Wilson cabinet,
was in town for short time Sunday
morning He was on his way from
Southern California, where he now
resides, to Holbrook to look after
some business interests. In a brief
interview with the editor Mr.. McAdoo
said he was not talking politics at the
present time and hence had nothing
to say of political nature. 1t will
be remembered that he was one of
the leading candidates for nomination
to the Presidency at the last DEM
ocratic convention in San Francisco
and made a fine showing, but lost out
to Gov. Cox. It should be recalled,
lowever, that Mr. McAdoo did not
time, and requested that his name be
not presented to the convention, but
his friends went ahead and put him
in nomination anyway. Many, think
that he will yet be candidate and
possibly President of the United
States, and that he is just abiding

ton to that high position will be pos

Adoo spent most of the short time
he was here visiting with the rail
road men who think a great deal of
the former director general who in
turn seems to have a genuine liking
for the railroad men. The editor
sounded him out on a fishing trip
which he and few other Winslowites
are contemplating up among the
White Mountains this coming Spring
or Summer, and found out that he
was a true follower of the noted
Isaac Walton and would be johnnie

He said, by way of appreciation of
the fishing invitation we suppose,
that he would then have a good, big
interview cooked up for the Winslow

some good fish stories" to tell
when he gets back to California fol-

Risks Death to Aid Science

Baltimore Feb. 2O.-Risking his
life for the sake of science, a man
here will soon enter a sealed cham
Der which will then be filled with
Illuminating gas.
With him will go dog.
Observers watching through giasl
panels will take him out when he
shows signs of acute distress. The
dog will be taken out dead.
1t will be the first of n series Of
experiments conducted by the city au-
thorities to discover what makes Ba.-
timore gas SO deadly. In the past
year AZ persons died from its effects
and scores were overcome.
When the health officials in an at
tempt to discover the cause, decided
on these tests, DIR. J. II. Shrader, city
chemist was the first to volunteer as
the human subject.
There is little danger" he said.
"Besides, we may find out things
about this gas which may be of value
to the health of the entire nation.
He added that it was possible that
thousands of cases of illness attribut-
cd to other causes may be due to
lowered vitality caused by the inhal-
ing of illuminating gas.
French medical experts he eX'
planned, report a case in Paris
where SO out of 40 persons living in
one house suffered from chronic car
bon monoxide poisoning. The result
ant lowered vitality was favorable TO
the development in them of tenden-
cies TO diseases they may have inherit
ed from their parents or of conta-
sions to which they may have been
exposed.
A"There is carbon monoxide in the
gas served here. If it leaks. a result
such as that found in Paris may de-

Stills, "Hooch" and Seiz-

nr the Associated Press.

Moscow, Feb. 20-The Russian gov
eminent has declared war on boot
leggers and manufacturers of illicit
''hooch" and the campaign is dupli'
eating in many Of its scenes the sit
uation in New York and other Amer
lean cities.
The sale Of wines and beers is legal
in Russian, but the soviet regime has
continued the war policy, established
early in 1915, of banning vodka and
other strong intoxicants.
These are now being made in huge
quantities illicitly and nearly every
one Of Moscow's newly rich has his
private source of supply.
5000 Stills Found.
During the last three months OF
1922, according TO statistics furnished
the correspondent by the Moscow au-
thorities, the police made 5S0I house
searches and discovered nearly 5000
private stills.
Evidence indicated that there were
vodka trusts" or combinations Of
capital to produce the liquor in large
quantities.
Restaurants have been raided and
quantities of brandies and high-power
spirits seized, while in some instances
patrons bringing their own" have
been arrested.
: Special rewards are made to police
men for discovering stills.
Heavy prison sentences, or expul-
sion from Moscow, are the penalties
applied to violators of the law.
Some government officials attribute
the growth of Illicit distilling and
bootlegging to the high taxes placed
on wine and beer. These are sold in
every grocery store and in big govern
ment shops, but at a figure beyond
the means of the average Russian.
Beer Is No Cure.
Others declare that even cheap wine
and beer would never cure the Rus
sian-a vodka drinker for generations
of his taste for spirits, and have
endeavored to obtain restoration OF
legalized sale Of vodka, manufactured
under a government monopoly.
This monopoly, in the days Of the
car, supplied great share of the
state revenues.
The communist program, however
is against drink of all kinds and, ever
though greatly in need of funds. Pre-
/" mier Lenine and other high official
are understood TO oppose the restora
ton of vodka, which, they declare
made Russian village feasts drunkeI
orgies and contributed greatly to thu
ignorance Of the peasants, whom thu
government is now trying to educate
However. there is still a stront
campaign for its restoration.
