those spring days when the air is so
clear and pure it fills one full of pep
and makes everybody young. The
road couldn't have been better nor
the scenery more magnificent, so
armed with all this the crowd arrived
in Flagstaff on time and full of gay
spirits. They were greeted by those
genial Flagstaff folk with the warm
est welcome and were soon ushered
to a bountifully spread luncheon ia
BILE, where soon all were seated and
busily showing appreciation of good
food and good company. President /.
B. Koch turned the meeting over to
Mr.. Chisholm, who with his splendid
speakers and singers for the day
showed the new Williams Rotarians
just how business meeting may be
carried on in snappy way. 1t is
needless to say the Williamsites are
ready to go again and glad to have
Flagstaff folk come over here. Those
attending the meeting Tuesday from
Williams were Pres and Mrs. Erie
Nordyke, Mrs. f. A. Miller, Mrs. A.
Skeeles, Chas. Button, Judge X. N.
Sleeves, Mr. and Mrs. Billy Ritten-
house, Mr.. and Mrs. Butler, Mr.. and

time. The musical programs especial
ly were of interest to our ladies and
our town, for among the musicians
sent by Williams were Mrs. F. E.
Wells, who made a hit with her
"Floral Dance" in which her clear,
sweet voice showed to advantage.
Those who represented the local club
were Mrs. w. 7. Loomis, Mrs. G. M.

each giver's name and little
message. These they put in the care
Of a committee and sent to Harriet
Lebsch, one of their former Sunday
school teachers. It is needless to say
Miss Lebsch appreciated the little re-
membranes and sent them many
sweet messages in return for their
kindness. Miss Lebsch is slowly re-
covering from the many painful in
juries received in her recent accident
and this being her first serious ill
ness in her life, she appreciates the
kindness shown by her many friends
who try to help her through many
hours of WEAKNESS.

we should visit the sick and the af-
flicted.
Such an outpouring of sympathy
proves that after all this is a pretty
good world to. live in, where the mis-
fortune of one is the concern of all.
Sometimes by thoughtlessness we may
do something or say something which
wounds a fellow human being, but
deep down in the hearts Of all of us
is a feeling of brotherly love.
Within twenty-four hours after the
unfortunate accident occurred, there
were by actual count more than 10
callers who came personally to the
Flagstaff residence to offer condol-
ences, and another large number call
ed up over the telephone.
Flagstaff people have done nobly.
Such demonstrations of neighborliness
and good will helps to make Flagstaff
q delightful place to call home.

The Blessing of Sympathy
lis North Humphrey street.

During the past week the citizens of
Flagstaff have given most beautiful
and inspiring example of the brother
hood of man. The entire community
was saddened by the tragic accident
which snuffed out the life of a little
lad who was a general favorite. The
mother and grandmother of the boy
were greatly comforted in their be-
reavement by the heartfelt help and
sympathy where were offered on all
sides, and especially by the magnifi-
cent floral tributes. But with the poet,
the family seemed to respond thus to
all words of sympathy:
Console if you will, / can bear it,
'Tis a weil-meant aims of breath,
But ali the preaching since Adam,
Cannot make death other than
death.

1t is strange that the use of points
for the purpose of punctuation should
be such comparatively modern in
vention. Of the four generally used
points, only the period dates earlier
than the fifteenth century. The colon
is said to have been first introduced
about 1885, the comma some 35 years
later and the semi-colon about 1870.
1t is difficult to understand how the
literary world dispensed for so many
centuries with the useful points, and
their lack must have added to the toll

Rats are natives of Asia, and their
raids westward belong to compara-
lively modern times. The little ami
NAL was unknown in ancient Europe.
The black rat first came to Europe
from Asia in the sixteenth century,
and about the beginning of the sew
enteenth century he arrived in Amer
lea. The black rat was the COM
mon house rat until the brown or grey
rat made his appearance in 1775. The
gray rat came to Europe from India
by way of Russia and is now known
as the Norway rat from mistaken
tradition that it came from Norway
to England, and from the latter coun-
try to America.

Apple Trees In Parkways.

In Flossmoor, ILL.,, apple trees were
planted in the parkways when the sub
division was laid out years ago. The
trees have been neglected both as to
spraying and pruning, but they have
grown well and are now bearing.
When the suburb is built up the home
owners will be able to take care Of
the trees and reap harvest each year
from their parkway space.
While the ornamental value of an
apple tree in such place may be
open to debate, there is no question
about Its being superior to the Car
olina poplars which most subdi.
viders plant, and the apple trees ought
to be better selling point. They are
good for so years, and begin to bear
fruit just about the time the Caro-
lima poplar is ready to cut down.

the forward end of the car, where he
had left the porter
Lock the rear door of the car" he
commanded. "Then come back here"
He gave the negro the keys, and
himself waited to prevent anyone
from entering the car at his end.
Looking through the glass of the door,
he saw the young man Eaton standing
in the vestibule of the car next ahead.
Connery hesitated; then he opened
the door and beckoned Eaton to him.
"Will you go forward, please" he
requested. land see If there isn't a
Doctor"

"That's the one"
Eaton started off without asking
any questions. The porter, having
locked the rear door Of the car, re
turned and gave Connery back the
keys Connery still waited, until Ea-
ton returned with the red-haired man.
He let them In and locked the door
behind them.
'You are doctor?'' Connery ques-
toned the red-haired man.

"Will you go and get him? The car
door is locked. The porter will let
you in and out. Something serious
has happened hereto Mr.. Dorne.
Get Mr.. Avery. If you can, without
alarming Mr.. Dorne's daughter"
Eaton nodded understanding and
followed the porter, who, taking the
keys again from the conductor, let
him out at the rear door of the car
and reclosed the door behind him.
Eaton went on into the observation
car.
Without alarming Harriet Dorne, he
got Avery away and out of the car.
''ls II something wrong with Mr..
Dorne" Donald Avery demanded as
Eaton drew back to let Avery pre-,
cede him into the open part of the car.

Avery hurried forward toward the
berth where Connery was standing
beside the surgeon. Connery turned
toward him.

the companion OF the man who had

forward as he looked past the sur
geon.' "What has happened to Mr.

Connery stared down nervously beside
him.
Avery leaned inside the curtains
and recoiled. "IIe's been murdered y
ut looks SO, Mr.. Avery. Yes; II
he's dead, he's certainly been mur-
dered," Connery agreed. "You can
tell'-Connery avoided mention of
President jarvis name--tell anyone
who asks you, Mr.. Avery, that you
saw him just as he was found"
He looked down again at the form
in the berth, and Avery's gaze fol-
lowed his; then, abruptly, 1t turned
away Avery stood clinging to the
curtain, hi. eyes dnrting from one to
another of the three men.

The surgeon, before examining the
man in the berth more closely, lifted
the shades from the windows. Every
thing about the berth was in place
undisturbed; except for the mark Of
the savage blow on the side of the
mans head, there was no evidence Of
anything unusual. It was self-evident

RIBBONS ARE IN
THE LIMELICHT
ColorfM Strands Afford Bright
Spots for Gowns, Cloaks
and Millinery.
CONTRASTING TONES AN AID
Various Shades Supply Combinations
That Lend Both style and Attrae-
tiveness to Apparel for
Women

Ribbons have come into the lime
light in fashion, observes a correspond
ent in the New York Times. There is
hardly costume without a display
Of colorful ribbon. The finish, the
completion, the end and ambition Of
every gown, cloak and hat seems to
be some bright spot Of ribbon. 1t may
be only touch. whole patch or a
section composed Of ribbons. But rib
bons there are in quantity, and each
Of them seems more lovely than the
last.
Why 1t has never occurred to design
ers in such numbers to use ribbon as
decorative material for costumes in
general is mystery. Once they
started on the ribbon way, the path
seemed simple and straight. 1t devel-
oped as 1t was pursued with astonish-
ing activity. Ribbons bloomed upon
hocks with more and more beauty,
aad finally they have come to be al
most necessity. t-.-l
Ribbons are used for trimming, for
edging, for facings. They are used
to finish the making Of a gown. In
some instances they almost constitute
frock, for the foundation is so un-
important and plain that when the RIB
bons are added they become the whole
spirit Of the frock.
On tho Street. Dress.
A street dress shows series Of
looms of narrow rihbOn strung all the
way down the side of the skirt, where
It opens TO allow one to let ones
salt into the gown. This succession
Of loops wends its way down that side
Of the skirt where the dress opens and
at the same time creates a section of
trimming which, were it absent, would
limit the effect the gown was destined
to create. After that, the whole of
the way round the gown Is bound with
the same ribbon, and the whole effect
is one of studied design which is
meant to place the frock in the fore
ranks of fashion as one of the lead
ing characters in the drama of style.
The hat worn with this costume is
an illustration of the way that ribbon
can be used for little turban. 1t is

ROCK MAPLE FIRST CHOICE
Good Reasons for Its Being the Fa-
vorite Tree for Streets OF tho
Small Town.

Roughly speaking, trees are used for
one of three purposes. The first.
street planting, is that which is most
apt to come within our ken. Fire.
auently, especially in new towns ana
developments" certain trees are to
be planted along certain streets; ana
householders are asked to do their
bit" by purchasing and setting out
trees to stand before their homes. The
selection is generally made by COM
mittee often upon slight knowledge
Of the subject, based, perhaps, upon
other paintings which have been made
elsewhere under their observation,
perhaps not particularly successfui
paintings. The argument Is that one
must have something, and as there are
not so very many kinds Of trees one
must stick to those one has seen, since
anything out of the common probably
will not grow. And so the decision Is
made.
This method of selection, perhaps,
may account for the widespread plant
ing Of the rock maple in American
small-town streets. The choice of this
tree is one against which the tree low
er should, and the tree knower will,
protest The rock maple is not par
ticularly fast growing. 1t is awkward
in its habit, and is brittle and frail.
1t Is not as decorative as many of Its
sturdler brethren, and when so many
better trees may be had at no greater
trouble and expense, Its popularity is
difficult to understand.
For streets there is no tree superior
to the Norway maple. With Its SYM
metrical form and luXuriant foliage.
which turns so beautiful in the fall,
no other maple surpasses it. 1t grows
with fair rapidity and it is sturdy and
resistant.-Amelia Hill in Art and

Medicine Hat Gasoline Rain.

A well that spouts gasoline from
the earth like a cloud of steam was
recently struck in the Many Island
district in Canada, % miles northeast
of Medicine Hat. Chemical and Metal
lurgical Engineering describes the
rush which followed the discovery in
which people stood all night before
the Dominion land office to be the
drst to file leases in the morning.
The well is a natural gas drilling
and the gasoline with which the gas
Is "wet" is not of commercial sig
nificance, as 1t Is only temporary
condition. However, it is said that
several owners of "flivvers' were
quick to seize the opportunity to lay
In few weeks supply of gas by hold

standpoint, the recent development in
the natural gas and oil fields In

New ideas in roofs are being adopt
ed everywhere. No longer do we see
TWO or three types or roofs, to the
exclusion of others. The Gothic,
pointed and daring, with long slopins
roof with Its appearance OF being
thatched; the low dormer with Its
many mullioned windows; the roof
with touch of Moorish in its lines
these are only a few of the types seep

me that the old playwright has re-

tnat, Whatever mad been the motives
of the attack, robbery was not one !:
whoever had struck had done no more
than reach in and deliver his mur-
derous blow; then he had gone on.
Sinclair made first an examination
Of the head; completing this, he un-
buttoned the pajamas upon the chest,
loosened them at the waist and pre-
pared to make his examination of the
body.
"How long has he been dead?" Con-
merry asked
"He is not dead yet. Life is still
present" Sinclair answered guardedly.
"Whether he will live or ever regain
consciousness is another question"
zone you can't answer?'
"The blow, as you can see"-Sin-
clair touched the mans face with his
deft finger-tips-"fell mostly on the
cheek and temple. The cheekbOne Is
fractured. He is in complete state
of coma; and there may be some frac-
ture Of the skull. OF course, there Is
some concussion OF the brain"
Any inference to be drawn from this
as to the seriousness of the injuries
was plainly beyond Connery. How
long ago was he struck?" he asked.
"Some hours. Since midnight GER
tainly; and longer ago than five
O'Clock this morning."
"Could he have revived half an hour
ago-say within the hour-enough to
have pressed the button and rung the

Sinclair Strengthened and gazed at
the conductor curiously. mo, GER
tainly not" he replied. "That is com.
pletely impossible. Why did you ask?'
Connery avoided answer. But Avery
pushed forward. what is thatl
What's that?" he demanded.
"Will you go on with your exami-
nation, Doctor?" Connery urged.
"You said the bell from this berth
rang recently!" Avery accused Con.
merry.
1.-THE pointer in the washroom, in
dicating signal from this berth, was
turned down a minute ago." Connery
had to reply. "a few moments ear
lier all pointers had been set in the
position indicating no CALL"
'That was before you found the
bodyr'
'That was why went to the berth
YES" Connery replied; that was
before l found the body"
"Then you mean you did not find
the body" Avery charged. Someone,
passing through this car a minute or
so before you. must have found him ~
Connery attended without replying.
"And evidently that man dared not
report it and could not wait longer
to know whether Mr.-Mr. Dorne was
really dead; so he rang the bell!"
"Ought we keep Doctor Sinclair any
longer from the examination sir?r
Connery now seized Averys arm in
appeal. ''The first thing for us to
know is whether Mr.. Dorne is dying.
Isn't"
Connery checked himself; he had
won his appeal. Eaton. standing uui.
etly watchful, observed that Avery's
eagerness to accuse now had been
replaced by another interest which
the conductors words had recalled.
Whether the man in the berth was to
live or die-evidently that was mo-
mentously to affect Donald Avery one
way or the other.
"Of course, by all means proceed
with your examination, Doctor
Avery directed.
AS Sinclair again bent over the
body Avery leaned over also; Eaton
gazed down, and Connery-a little
paler than before and with lips tight
