 BERLIN, Oct. 2.-On the wide stage of drama and crisis where the tragedy of Gernans exploitation is being en- acted, the scene shifted Tuesday to Berlin. where Chancellor Strese- mann's problems were augmented by the threat that his cabinet might fall.
 Having crushed two potential armed revolts in the past AS hours, through his program of economic re- construction of other methods to boost production and facilitate rep arations payments.
 Socialist members of the cabinet baulked at increasing the burdens of German labor. Early Tuesday word ran through Berlin that the socialists would resign if the chancellor stuck by his guns in backing the projected measures.
 Such resignations would mean the fall of the cabinet, and the forma- tion of new government.
 But with the Rhineland and Ba- varia still actively threatening revolt. Berlin doubted whether a new gov- ernment could be formed.
 pr. Otto Gesslef, minister of de- fence, frankly told his colleagues of the democratic party that if the cabi- net Tell Gefmany WOulu nave a re- actionary dictatorship within "A hours.
 O o o
 In Constant Session.
 Throughout the day Stresemann was in constant session with party leaders, arguing the demands of the nationalists for cabinet representa- tion, ind endeavoring to find means of avoiding a split.
 The chancellOr'S SuDOrterS were confident that he would present an acceptable program, and come out victorious in the delicate situation.
 Stresemann's prestige has been in- creased by his sharp handling of the Kuestrin rebellion, where the steel helmets" failed to capture the city and, surrounded in the armory of the fortess, capitulated before the gov ernment troops
 "The steel helmets" had hoped their coup might be the signal for nationwide uprising. It's failure has dampened steel ardor. The smashing concentration of govern ment forces on the threatened town has also served as a warning to Ba- varian reactionaries, but the Munich situation still threatens. Dusseldorf is temporarily quiet, order being maintained by the French forces.

The Flagstaff grade schools will
open Tuesday, September A, for the
enrolment of pupils. Parents and
pupils should keep the opening date
in mind so that pupils planning to
attend the city schools may register
on the opening day.
Early registration is an advantage
to both pupil and teacher, for it not
only means economical use of time but
it has the additional advantage to the
pupil of getting a good even start
with his neighbor, thus avoiding the
discouragement accompanying late
entrance. s.
The kindergarten department will
be in charge of Verna Severson, q
teacher of splendid preparation and
experience. In addition to being a
graduate of a kindergarten normal
school, Miss Severson' has completed
two years of additional work at the
University of Minnesota. The work
of this department is open to children
AZ years of age. Children under this
age will be admitted on special re-
quest, provided the enrolment is not
too large at the time request is made.
Pupils are requested to pay partic-
ular attention to the time and place OF

JIMMIE SWINNERTON AND
WIFE HERE FOR SNAKE DANCE

Mr.. and Mrs. Jimmie Swinnerton
arrived in Flagstaff last Friday on
their regular annual visit to this sec
ton. They will take in the snake
dance and visit numerous other reser-
walton points during the next few
weeks. Mr.. Swinnertown is figuring
on building a studio not far from
Kayenta to do lot of painting in that
region. The creator of Little Jimmie
and other "funnies" is devoting more
and more time to serious work in oils
and is now nearly as well known for
that class of work as for the other
with which he won international fame.
Mrs. Swinnerton is doing special
writing for various magazines. Her
visit here last summer was cut short
by illness, but she is again in good
health. The Swinnerton's winter
home is at Palo Alto, California. They
are accompanied by Ferdinand Bong
dorff, an artist whose sunsets are
known among art lovers nearly ev-
erywhere and who expects to get both
sunset and desert canvasses on this
trip.
Mr.. Swinnerton is as great fan
as ever about the country surround
ing Flagstaff and several of his
friends in the east, lurs0 here by his
descriptions, are on their way to the
snake dance and afterward to take in
some of our scenic wonders.

LOU CHARLEBOIS THROWS
TRAVELLING MAT ARTIST

Our sports editor has been on a
long vacation, but we recalled him
from Afghanistan the other night by
radio upon learning that the carnival
which showed here last week under
the auspices of the American Legion
was carrying as its main attraction a
husky professional wrestler who
claimed he could throw any Flagstaff
man with one arm tied behind him.
We understood that Lou Charlebois
of Flagstaff, who is some wrestler
himself, had decided to step up and
be sacrificed, but shortly after Lou
heaved himself on the altar the trav-
cling wrestler admitted that he had
got his words twisted in issuing his
def and that what he meant to say
was that the Flagstaff man should
have one arm tied behind him, the
other cut off next to the ear, and
both feet spiked to the floor.
Here is what our sporting editor
wrote:
To the gents who shout and the wo-
men who shrek when the wrestling
babies at are work on the mat: At the
summer carnival of strangle-hold and
half Nelson, the once famous local
artist of the mat game, Lou Charlie
bois, came out victorious last Satur-
day night when he downed the Greek
wrestler after IL minutes of man.
handling his meet-all-comers, catch
weights, cauliflowered opponent.
Lou had made semi-official threat
few days before to wrestle this baby
the coming Saturday night. When the
ballyhooer announced that his man
was ready to meet anyone in the
crowd, a cry went out for Lou, who,
only after considerable coaxing, jeer-
ing and threatening on the part OF
the Greek, condescended to enter the
padded ring.
Lou went after his opponent from
the start. There was no stalling. His
first hold was half-Nelson which af-
ter much squirming, the Greek broke.
The Greek kept yelling at the crowd
that Lou was too heavy. The Greek
wanted to stall but Charlebois sue
ceeded in keeping his man on the go.
He got several toe holds on his man
but the Greek cleverly managed to
break them each time. 1t was clearly
evident that LOUIS wind was getting
low and if he was to throw his man
he must do it now or suffer defeat
They jockeyed around for few min
utes. Then Lou brought all his for
mer generalship into play and by a
clever manipulation Of the Greeks
legs he forced his shoulders to the
mat. Charlebois demonstrated to his
many admirers that he was not toe
top-heavy and that he was still mas
ter of the game after ten years alb
sence from it.

SUPERVISORS HIRE new
LEES FERRY MAN AND
WILL BUILD NEW BOAT

The board of supervisors met Mon
day in special session and ordered a
new boat built for Lees Ferry. 1t
will be the same size as the old one,
14x4O feet. County Engineer Ray
Lamport, who with others visited the
ferry last week, reported that the ca
BILE is in good shape. He believes the
loss of the boat, when it capsized a
few weeks ago with party of tour
lists on board, was largely through
carelessness on the part OF the ferry
man. He says he found the gearing
had not been taken care of carefully
and that after the boat capsized it
floated to the bank and stayed there
several days where the ferryman
could easily have anchored it. 1t is
under water now and can't be sal
vaged.
It was decided there is no use try
ing to salvage the two Studebaker
cars that sunk in the Colorado river
when the ferryboat capsized, as the
expense of the operation added to the
damage the water has done makes 1t
inadvisable.
Contractors are estimating on the
new boat. The board on Monday de-
cided to no longer employ the pres
ent ferryman, and appointed Jerry
Johnson of Lees Ferry, who was fer
ryman there before being relieved
some time ago.

new CITY RECREATION
PARK AND BUILDING TO
BE DEDICATED SOON

The formal opening of the new city
park and new recreation building and
grandstand will occur on Tuesday,
August %, the Flagstaff city council
having charge of the arrangements,
in which they will be assisted by the
Flagstaff Woman's clubs.
The fun will begin at 4 in the af
ternoon, with juvenile sports. At $50
the ladies of the Woman's club will
serve supper, cafeteria style. That
over, probably about eight o'clock, the
dedication exercises will be held. There
will be one or two brief addresses by
prominent Flagstaff people, and vocal
and instrumental music. After that
will come dancing in the new big ball
room beneath the grandstand, Waters
orchestra furnishing the music.
The members of the city council
hope that Flagstaff will turn out in
force to see the new building and the
athletic field and get a real, close
up, honest-to-goodness idea of the
good that has been accomplished with
the money the taxpayers voted for
the purpose a few months ago. Ev-
eryone who has seen the results is
enthusiastic and it is well that all of
us see them. 1t will make US proud
of the public spirit we have shown and
of the fine manner in which the city
council has interpreted the wishes OF
the people and pushed these magnifi-
cent improvements to completion.

MAYHEM NEW HEAD OF
AMERICAN LEGION; HAS
CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM

Carl C. Mayhem was unanimously
elected commander of Flagstaff Mark
A. Moore post, American Legion, at a
special meeting on Monday night, sue
ceeding Walter G. Carlson, who re-
signed to leave the first of the month
to cover seven western states for one
of the eastern shoe manufacturers.
The past year under Mr.. Carlson's
leadership has been successful one
with the post, which has greatly in=
creased its membership, creditably
acted as host to the annual convention
of the state department and increas-
ed its finances substantially. His
comrades expressed deep regret at
Mr.. Carlson's leaving and assured his
successor of their active and hearty
support in the constructive program
mapped out for the coming year. The
post intends to become actively allied
with the Boy Scout movement and to
form contact on important civic and
other matters with other organiza-
tions, helping with will to carry
them on to a successful conclusion.
This is in line with the desires of the
local members and with the policy of
the Legion's national administration.
The Legion does not propose to rest on
the achievements of its members in
war, but to make the organization d
powerful factor for good in current
matters.
Mr.. Mayhem, commissioned offic-
er during the war, wounded in action
and decorated for conspicuous brav-
cry, has the public spirit and earnest
enthusiasm to head this bunch of
went-gotters and keep them away
ahead in the go-getter class. There
is work for the American Legion to
do in Flagstaff, and other organiza
tions and the people generally should
appreciate their helpful attitude, es-
pecially when they remember that
these boys who belong to the Legion
became eligible only through the Of
fering of their lives to their country.
Mere membership in the Legion is one
of the highest honors a citizens can
have, because it is evidence of per-
sonal sacrifice, bravery and patrio-
tism.
