DAIRY COMMISSIONER
. ROUNDS UP DAIRY
CONDITIONS HERE

]. r. Jennings, state dairy commits
sioner, with headquarters at. Phoenix,
has been making milk survey in
Flagstaff for the past week.
Commissioner Jennings makes Sc
we're criticism in general way on the
way milk has been handled, especially
by the people who are selling milk
from one or two cows. He, in COM
panv with DIR. Felix Manning, city
health officer, found there were over
100 people selling milk from one or
two cows. This milk was found to
be improperly cooled or handled san
itarilv. Tests of it showed bacteria
content of from 100000 to million,
which would grade it less than &C.
or milk prohibited from sale.
Grade ga" milk should not contain
over 100000 bacteria; grade "B" not
over 100000, said Commissioner Jen-
nings. "The butterfat should be at
least 3.25 per cent to measure up to
the state law and / discovered that
most of these small milk sellers prod
uct runs down as low as 1.20 per cent,
or about buttermilk quality" he de-
cIared.
1.-THE two large dairies were not in
as good condition as they should have
been, but since the inspection have
complied with regulations, and are on
the safe side. The butter fat of these
two dairies is 800 per cert and 3.O5
per cent, one running bacteria content
Of 10000, the other 10000" he said.
"The use of milk which is not prop
erly handled is dangerous especially
to children and state laws provide for
the protection of the people. believe
that city ordinances should be passed
to regulate the sale of milk not only
from the one and two COW owners,
but at restaurants. No milk should
be sold in restaurants and stores ex-
cept in sealed bottles and the bottles
kept on ice pending sale. 1t can read
lily be seen that milk dipped out of a
bucket, poured from a pitcher or
drawn through faucet can not be up
to standard as to nutrition aside from
the lack of sanitary handling. For
that reason milk should only be
bought in bottles that are kept prop
eriy and city ordinances shoulda be
passed to make all retailers comply
with the state regulations" said Mr..
Jennings.
Commissioner Jennings left copy
of his report with the city council
fer their information Wednesday
night and urged immediate action as
to the passage of ordinances.

some of the ancient cliff dwellings in
Walnut Canyon restored.
Ancient Romans themselves destroy
ed ancient Rome and it would be a
good thing if the people of this re-
gion would help preserve these uni
que and interesting remnants of an
ancient people, DR.. Cotton said in
concluding his talk.
DIR. Maitra, who is a Hindoo, spoke
very interestingly along philosoph-
ical, religious and educational lines,
stressing the fundamental similarity
in belief of the ancient civilization of
the east and that of Americans and
the better understanding and greater
sympathy that are gradually growing
up between them. He spoke of the
familiarity of his people with the
philosophical works of Ralph Waldo
Emerson.
DIR. Monsen gave another of his
highly interesting talks and the hit
he made at the Rotary meeting last
week led his audience to aspect some-
thing especially good, and the audi
ence got it. He spoke in a humorous
vein out of the rich fund of his per-
sonal experiences. Decorated by
President Castro of Venezuela after
he had made what was considered to
be an impossible exploration of the
Orinoco river, he was presented with
a bill Of 100 bolivas, the cost of the
medal. He was decorated also by the
kaiser. He received a third medal
from the king of Norway. He is per-
fectly willing to sell the two first
named decorations at bargain prices,
but wants to keep the Norwegian
medal.
Then he told of being entertained

Rotalians enjoyed another splendid
program in a long string of splendid
programs on Tuesday when they lis
tened to addresses by DIR. H. S. Col
ton, archeologist of the University of
Pennsylvania; Harendranath Maitra,
world-famous authority on far east
ern subjects, of India, and DR.. Fred
erick |. Monsen, the celebrated lectur-
er, author, explorer and artist.
And there was catchy music by the
Misses Lucretia McMullen and Cath
crime Beckwith, who played their
OWL stringed accompaniment and de-
lighted the bunch with several songs,
among them a negro folk song that
Miss McMullen learned from an at
tendant in the Jerome hospital during
her convalescence there following her
recent operation for appendicitis.
DIR. Cotton, who discovered the
southwest 13 years ago and shortly
afterward discovered Flagstaff, and
who has since then spent all or part
of several summers here, said he had
chosen Flagstaff as headquarters be-
cause of its climate, water, progress
siveness and location in the center of
a very interesting region.
He has made a special study of the
prehistoric Indian ruins in this vicin-
ity, gradually extending the radius of
his explorations to about 40 miles. He
has mapped all the principal ruins.
He believes some, at least, of the
pueblo ruins northeast of Flagstaff

ments and preserved, and that if this
is done the Smithsonian Institution
will restore one or two Of them to
their original form. DR.. Fewkes of

Shooting easily through the first OF
the rapids, Immediately below Lees
Ferry, this county, the government
expedition that is to survey the Col
orado river through Grand and Marble
canyons, from Lees Ferry to Grand
Wash, distance of $50 miles, got
off to an auspicious start at 8 o'clock
Wednesday morning.
There is a falls a short distance
below the first rapids, but it was not
in sight of those standing on the bank
watching the start, SO no word has
come in denoting if any trouble was
encountered there.
The watchers were Mrs. Emory
Kolb of Grand Canyon, wife of Emory
Kolb, first boatman; their daughter,
Miss Edith; Charlie Birdseye of Wash
ington, ID. c., son Of Colonel C. H.
Birdseye, chief topographic engineer
of the u. S. geologic survey, who is in
charge of the expedition; Roger Birds
eye of Flagstaff, cousin of Colonel
Birdseye; Mr.. and Mrs. /. G. Cock
roft Of Lees Ferry and Charles E.
Fisk, Grand Canyon.
The Sun has been receiving anxious
telegraphic inquiries from the national
capitol regularly for the last few days
asking that word be sent as soon as
the expedition was under way, and
word to that effect was telegraphed
Washington yesterday.
In making complete topographic
survey of the river and all possible
damsites, the party will not make very
fast time. 1t may be three months
before the survey, the first ever made
or attempted on that stretch of the
turbulent river, is completed. Colonel

 STANLEY QUARTER BUSINESS CONDITIONS
 CONTINUALLY IMPROVE General Production Is 8 Per Gent Higher Than During the
 Peak of 1920.

Washington, April 27.--Continued increases in industrial production, fur ther expansion in building operations and freight movements, heavier each week than in any corresponding week in four years, were reported as among the outstanding features of business conditions this month in a statement today by the federal reserve board.
 General production the statement announced was per cent higher on the boards index ratio than the high peak of 1920 and CT per cent above the low point Of 1921.
 The boards statement was devoid of comment as to the length to which business expansion may go. It was ascertained, however, that in some official quarters the belief is held that organizing of orders is devel- oping and some alarm was expressed as to the significance of this condi- tion.
 There has as yet been no reflection in the rediscounts by the federal re- serve banks of the reported borrow ings from member banks of the re- serve systems.

THE YALE DINNER

! The) significance of the dinner tc
 be given Monday evening at the Shut
 tie Meadow club by Yale men for mer of Yale. is deeper than at first ap.
 pears. It is far more than the resul,
 of an attempt of group of men te get together and have a pleasant time. Viewed in this light the affair would be no more than an attractive function to be looked forward to merely as one incident in the social life of the city. And those who con-
 sider this aspect of the dinner only
 will miss the vital character of the
 spirit it represents--the spirit which
 has stirred men in this city to ar-
 range for it.
 The true meaning of that spirit, the
 evidence of which is the affair at the
 club, is that it represents the sincere size again the splendid ideals which they held at the time they left college and started out to live those ideals in life's daily routine. Perhaps at no time in mans life does he possess the high standards that are before him the day he leaves his alma mater. He has been given the best of opportuni- ties; humbly he realizes this fact. May he make the most of those opportuni- ties, is his prayer, and may he ac- compish something worth while in the world with which he should be so fitted to cope. Those ideals and stan dards may have suffered by contact with the world and it's often sordid side; those ideals and standards may have been hidden deep in the hearts of the men who cherished them. hesi- tant to parade them for fear of mis- understanding, but cherishing them none the less dearly. There they may rest silent because they are repressed in world which has little time for discussion of such things. Thus a wealth of splendid inspiration lies latent.
 A gathering such as that to be held Monday evening as an inspiration for the the calling to life again those ideals, those standards and ambitions which, living, vitalize their possessor with ability to accomplish new, splen- did things. < gathering of this kind would be a failure indeed if there did not grow out of it more than renewed good fellowship loyalty to the insti- tuition to which those present owe al- 1 legiance. It would be a failure indeed if it did not bring into the atmosphere of the community fine, strong spirit l of true manhood. Such a failure 1t l will not be.

personalities if possible In comment
 ing upon such matters
 A state highway commissioner was
 necessary AS the roads have been built and cared for so well under the one commissioners plan in the regime
 of MT, Bennett, this newspaper has
 gone on record as favorine q continu- ance Of this plan until it was shown that no person could i'll Mir. Bennett's place. In such ease there might be reason 10 discuss the advisability of trying out the commission plan. The only question that arises is whether or not J. A. Macdonald the man nam cd, who was appointed to tho motor vehicle department from which he Is now advanced to tho highway com missionership, because of the power of his father in legislative matters, will be able to forget politics in the ad- ministration Of his new duties. If he is able to conduct his office regardless of political matters, and if he displays the expected ability in that office, there Is every reason to believe that the opinion of the people of the state will remain in favor Of the plan to manage the highway matters in the way that has brought such good re- suits. If politics in the office appears. that will be something else again"
 The chief objection to the appoint ment of the new judges, leaving out of consideration entirely the question of their personal fitness, which may be admitted, and the fact that they come from the legislature which created the places, is that the chief justice and other supreme court justices have said | that additional judges in the superior | court were not needed. As pointed | out in these columns some time ago, | this should have settled the matter.

THE LAMP SHADE

A speaker or writer risks what days, when he mentions favorably any movement that has about it retro- spective atmosphere. People are in- clined to characterize him as one who praises the past at the expense of the glorious present. But even with such a risk standing as a menace to reputa- ton, occasion arises when the tempta- tion comes to throw caution aside and to come right out in public with the declaration that some habits, customs influences Of the old days were good and worthy of perpetuation.
 A of which brings us 10 the matter of the lamp. It has been noted that some of the younger people in the city may take up the study or the art of making lamp shades. Naturally the lamp shades they will make will be modern in conception and design and made to fit over electric bulbs, not which is quite as it should be. The lamp shades will be the product of nimble young fingers perhaps not ac- customed to fashioping dresses the primary purpose of which is to be used in household duties. The young women who sit and work over these amp shades will probably wear the most modern of costumes and think Lhe most modern of thoughts, which Is quite all right too.

 Ruthenberg revealed that while on the witness stand in his own defense, denying, however that at any time he advocated illegal measures for the overthrow of the government. He cons tended that the communist party was made an illegal organization by per secution by government agents.
