IT WAS FIFTY-FIFTY

The Douglas International, reviewing the spec
al elections in the eleventh legislative district ID
this county and in Coconino county, still maintains
that the Colorado river compact was not an issue.
The International at its great distance from the
theatre is not accurately informed. 1t is especial
y in error in its statement that all the candidates
We're for the ratification of the. compact.
It is true that as to the election In this county
the issue was clouded that some two or three
other factors contributed to the result. But It is
also true that only one of the two candidates was
a compact candidate and that he was opposed Dy
every man who was known to be opposed to the
ratification of the pact.
The contest was more clear-cut IN Coconlno.
While Mr.. Slipher, most excellent and popular
candidate, had made no declaration against the
pact on the contrary, would probably have voted
for its ratification he was supported by the entire
anti-pact element as against Colonel Breen, an
avowed pact candidate, who received the support
of all friends Of the compact, democrats as well as
republicans, and was given the votes or three
foylrths Of the voters who went to the polls Evl-
IDENTIFY the voters Of Coconino thought the pact
was an issue.
And. sub-consciously at least, the international
itself must have believed that the pact was the
issue in both elections, for in its opening remarks
on the result of the election it observed that the
contest went "fifty-fifty." That could only mean
that in one case pact candidate was elected and
IN the other, an antipact candidate To that state
ment we give our full assent.-Arlzona Republ-

TAKIN' THE BITTER WITH THE SWEET

It is naturally painful for the Review to
acknowledge the defeat of a democrat in any cleo
ton anywhere or at any time, but in the case o1
the recent bye-election held in Coconlno county
oa1r pain is somewhat assuaged in the knowledge
that a real Arizonan has taken the place long oc-
cupied by another of equal worth, the late Senator
Campbell. Senator Breen was one OF the wheel
horses of the late and much lamented Campbell
administration. The first Campbell victory and
later ones could be largely credited to the editor OF
the Coconino Sum- and the first clouds appearing
On the republican horizon two years ago were the
breaks between the administration and the Flag
staff editor. B1een spoke frankly and truthfuly
in 1921 telling of the weaknesses IN the Iepupll-
can highway department, although it must be
said that his remarks came during an OIL year,
and the campaign year found him again lined up
with the old guard, a habit which is noticeable IN
republican history everywhere.
The state of Arizona suffered great loss IN the
passing Of Hugh Campbell. And the state OF Arl-
iona has gained by obtaining the able counsel OF
Fred Breen in legislative affairs.-Bisbee Review

home, when Mrs. Fitz suddenly re-
marked:

that Col. Breen was elected because Of his long
fine LOYALTY to Coconno county, as editor of one

as sufficient warrant for all the newspaperrnen in

Prevents Pain

~ OME.-Monsieur Henri Lau-
II gier' head of the physiolos-
ical experiments at the Sor-
bonnie, has suggested that to pre-
vent needless suffering, many Of
the research cases in which vivi.
section seems necessary could be
reproduced satisfactorily by the
camera, for the benefit OF other
students. Since the year 1914,
two italian Observation-Disclosures
Pedro Giacosa and Professor AL
berico Benedicenti-have applied
this idea in their laboratories at
Genoa. The films were prepared
with great care and are regularly
and satisfactorily used to instruct
students. Some of these show,
for example, the action of chloro-
form on the pulse and on the
blood pressure, and the influence
of medicine on certain nerves.
A series of films also has been
prepared and used extensively by
these two scientists to illustrate
popular lectures. on tho action Of
cocaine on the human organism.

E<DEAR MISS LOWELL:
You probably have
~ heard from others about
won't take your time by explain
ing how hard 1t Is to make
ends meet for the wife of a man
who earns q very modest salary.
MY problem Is to keep the
ends in sight at all and at the
same time maintain something Of
for ourselves when we were mar
ried five years ago.
I'VE are what is described as
average Americans, but there
are times when 1t seems our
struggle IL harder than the aver.
age, even with strict economy.
Can you suggest any way by
which / might tighten our bur-
den? WORRIED WIFE"
Oh, yes, Worried Wife, I've
heard a great deal about the
high cost Of living. And I believe
you're only one Of thousands of
women who are worrying over
the problem.
I'm wondering how much Of
your trouble is due to the high
cost Of living high!
Not that underestimate your
task of planning and providing
the very best you are able with
the means at hand.
But the fact that you are an
average American" calls to
mind a report l read the other
day of the New York Meat Coun-
Gil.
A hundred and fifty meat
shops in various parts Of New
York city were asked concerning
the sort Of meat American
women order for their famil es.
The replies showed that 38 per
cent of them buy steak, while
two Of the most expensive cuts
sold and not one bit more nour-
fishing than chucks and cheaper
cuts.
Now a few cents more or less
on the price Of the dinner chops
mean little 20 the household
budget Of a day. But in a year
1t counts. when you consider
that cnuCk, IQT eXaInple, sells
at something like one-third less
than porterhouse; and may be
made to serve exactly the same
purpose.
The Meat Council had this to
say:
elaborate laboratory tests have
proved that there Is as much
nutriment in chuck as in por-
terhouse. The secret of equal
palatableness is proper cooking.
The point is that women should
learn how to prepare dishes from
less expensive cuts"
And the meat men are right,
MS you'll agree yourself. Worried
Wife.
But meat r. not all. There's
the trick dessert to be fashioned
