SCHOOL BOARD
MEETING HELD
DISCUSS HOUS-
ING PROBLEMS

The Board of Education met in re-
gular session, Friday, April 13 at L
p. m. Present: Mr.. r. K Corkhill
and Mr.. ]. L. Sweeney. Mr.. McGreg-
or was unable to be present on ac-
count of absence from town.
Vouchers covering teachers sala-
ries and all bills for the current
month were signed. The expenditu-
res for month aggregated $698492.
The regular financial statement
was submitted by the Sup't-also
statements showing expenditures and
receipts for the basketball season,
and for the Senior Play and Art Ex-
hibition. These statements are on
file with the regular monthly state
ment.
The Superintendent presented the
matter of his going to Tucson to at
tend the meeting of superintendent
of the State. 1t was decided that he
should go if he could leave his work
for this length of time. 1t was also
decided that he should be allowed a
reasonable amount for his expenses
on this trip.
The next matter presented was the
purchase of sweaters for the awards
in Athletics. This is in pursuance
of a custom heretofore established
and the Board authorized the Super
intendent to purchase the necessary
articles for this purpose
he inadequate housing space on
the South Side was discussed. It
Was pointed out that the building is
about taxed to its capacity at the
present and the incoming students
will far exceed the outgoing students
next year It was agreed that some
changes would have to be made.
Plans for making the necessary i'm
provements were discussed.
Mrs Matthie and Mrs. Johnson
called on the Board to present a pc
tition calling for bond election for
the purchase of the two blocks of
land just west of the Washington
building. AS the petitions had been
out only a short time they fell lit
tie of the required number of names,
SO after discussing the matter and
finding the petitions could be filed
later, the two ladies kept them until
later date.
The Board expressed the feeling
that it would be unwise for them to
actively promote this bond election.
Nevertheless, they felt that the pur-
chase of the land would be good
move in the interest of the schools.
1t can serve as a playground at pres
ent and will probably be needed for
building purposes in the future.

CHILD WELFARE
nurse IS HERE

Miss O'Neal, a trained nurse, OF
Phoenix, has been sent here by the
State Child's Welfare League to do
whatever she can in the interest of
the proper care of babies and little
children. Miss O'Neal desires to
meet mothers and prospective moth
ers that she may talk with them and
give them such help and instructions
in the care of babies as she is pre-
pared to give. Her services are free
and anybody, who wishes, may have
the benefit of her instructions. She
wishes not only to go into the homes
where she can be of service, but also
to establish a clinic where the babies
can be measured and inspected to
where the proper instructions can be
given to bring them up to normal,
if they are not This is an OppOrtun-
ity that all mothers of babies or pros
pective mothers should avail them
selves of. Thousands of babies die
each year that might be saved if just
the right thing was done for them at
the right time. A little baby is a very
delicate thing and expert Instructions
such as Miss O'Neal is able to give,
will be of great help to many moth
ers. Miss O'Neal reports that she is
already receiving such encouragement
in her work and is finding Opportu-
nifty to be of service. She can be
heached at the Statler Hotel.

CHRISTIAN Church
MEETINGS SUCCESSFUL

The series of meetings which nave
been going on at the Christian Church
wouldn't stop at the end of the two
weeks it was intended to hold them,
but have been going on this week
also. It was hoped that Rev Saun-
ders could come back from Flagstatf
and continue the meetings this week,
but was unable to do SO, and the local
pastor, w. L. Martin, has been CONT
nuing the meetings himself. The at
tendance has been fine most OF the
time and up to Wednesday night there
had been in all twenty-four additions
to the church, most of them by con-
fession and baptism. A great bapt1s-
NAL service was held at the church on
Sunday afternoon and at the close OF
the evening service when most OF
those who had made confession OF
faith were baptized. Rev. saunders
did fine preaching from night to night
and the whole church is rejoicing
over the coming of so many to unite
with the church And the end is not
yet as there are others near the
point of decision. Rev Martin IS
much encouraged in this fine sue
cess that has come in the meetings
and is very hopeful that a start may
be made very soon toward a new
church building.

FORD OUT FOR
PRESIDENT IS
LATEST WORD

For several weeks friends of Henry
Ford have been sounding out var
iOus sections of the country in an
effort to test the popularity of the
automobile manufacturer as a pres
identiaI candidate The American
Economic league already is circulat-
ing Ford petitions in Idaho, Kansas,
Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, South
Dakota and elsewhere, and last week
1900 Nebraskans signed a petition
asking the secretary of state to put
his name on the ballot as the pro-
gressive nominee for president.
Supporters of Ford declare there
is strong sentiment in his favor
throughout the middle west and
south, and in some parts of the far
west. Although not an employer of
organized labor himself, it is said
the union men and railroad workers
are almost solidly for him. 1t is
conceded here that he is a candidate
for the Democratic nomination, but
whether he would be an Independent
candidate is problematical.
The Ford presidential league, with
headquarters in Chicago, is very
active organization

was held last Friday evening and
about fifteen local sandlotters were

Manager for the coming year and
Clyde Matthie captain. The First
practice was held Monday evening

wants every ball player out to prac-
tice so they will be in shape for the
first game, not very far off. Come

NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES

at was upon the. eve of a great
football game between two natural
gridiron rivals. To the outside
world there is nothing to choose be-
tween the two teams. Back in the
dressing rooms where the coaches
meet to plan for the morrow, where
the final analysis is made, where
the inside situation is discussed, it
is known that both teams will go
into the fray on an equal basis.
That is the start of a Well-known
fiction yarn in the magazine, but
strangely enough it corresponds to-
the n. A ~ S. baseball situation.
The Lumberjacks are to make their
bow in the 1923 struggle for pennant
honors of the Northern Arizona
Athletic Association, and they are
going into the battle to win. They
will cross bats with WinslOw today
and journey to HolbroOk Saturday.
The Domestic Science room last
Wednesday evening was the scene
of a real "stage-people's party" Miss
Dewey, coach of the Junior Plays,
was the hostess, and all actors,
prompters, property man, and stage
assistants were the fortunate guests.
Late Friday afternoon, having cast
all thoughts of pedagogy to the bree-
yes. the faculty packed themselves
into several cars and went picnicing
out at Walnut Canyon. After enjoy
ing a delicious dinner-and a most
ample one too-the party drove over
to the rim, where a campfire was
built and songs were sung until an
hour fully late enough for school
teachers-even on Friday nights.

LESS AIR MEANS
GREATER CONF 0RT
CLAIM Of DAYTON
Dayton Thorobred Cords To
Be Sold In Bir-
mingham

Tire engineers have recognized
for years that II tho carcass OF n
tire could be built so that 1t would
overcome the weakness Of rim cut,
tread separation, and bullying when
underflated. that such tire would
prove revolutionary in the number
of miles of service which 1t could
be expected to deliver.
This is true because 1t enables a
tire to yield to road distractions. II
protects the tread from chipping and
cutting and results in thousands Of
additional miles Of service.
Practically all tires during the
past ten years have been sold with
a more or less provisional guaran-
tee, depending largely upon the
maintenance of a high air pressure
to protect the carcass from deterid-
ration.
Therefore, the announcement of
the Dayton Rubber Manufacturing
company that Dayton Thorobred
Cords were built to deliver their
miximum service when underinflated
comes as revolutionary departure
in tire construction. 1t Is in direct
opposition to all the warnings of
tire makers that a tire had to be
highly inflated If the owner were
to expect long service.
A great step forward In the COM
fort and service which may be Sc
cured from the use of automobiles
is made by this announcement This
tire will be sold in Birmingham by
Co-operative Tire and Accessory
company 2116 Fifth avenue.

OAKLAND BREAKS
RECORD ON SALES
FOR LAST MONTH
May Sales Also Running Far
Ahead Of Last Years
Business

With sale of motor cars 253 per
cent of the same month last year, the
Oakland Motor Car company, Pom
tiac, Mich, broke all sales records for
the month of April.
So far in May the company's sales
are running considerably ahead of
April, and very much greater than
May of last year, which was the
largest production month of 1922.
During the first four months of
1928 the company has produced 227
per cent more cars than during the
same period of the previous year
Both the New York and Pittsburg
branches of the company, In addition
to large number of dealers, broke
their records for April, going consid-
erably ahead of even the banner
month in the boom period of 1919.
A trainload of 80 freight cars filed
with Oakland cars was shipped to
New York this last week, while the
same sized trainload of motor cars
was also shipped to the Boston dis
tributor.
1t is considerably easier to obtain
railroad equipment for the east, ac-
cording to w. R. Tracy. assistant
sales manager, thereby Facilitating
shipments.
Mr. Tracy likewise reports an ex-
tremely anxious desire of new pur-
ohasers to obtain their motor cars
at the earliest opportunity. This
tendency has been expressed by the
large number of persons coming to
the factory for their cars and driv-
ing them to their homes, often to far
distant points in Iowa, Indiana and
Illinois.

Sound conditions in our country.
A falling off in world competition,

That conditions here are sound Is

Mr.. Jewett. He states that the aver

the 1920 business collapse. when
either the man or his friend was
caught with an unbalanced inven-
tory when money frightened up and
the deflation process took place.

JAP LABOR OUTBREAK
IS MENACE TO ISLAND
Situation On Thursday" Near
Queensland Is Delicate

SYDNEY, N. w. s., May 26.-(By
Associated Press)-The situation at
Thursday island, off the Northern
coast OF Queensland, where serious
Japanese labor troubles occurred re-
Gently. Is said to be delicate from an
Internal ional point of view, accord
ing to the latest reports received
here.
Ono authority has described the
position as "a powder magazine COW
cred with brown paper" although
there has been no violence on the
part of the Japanese greater than
Australia has been accustomed to In
other portions of the commonwealth.
The situation Is declared to be tho
climax of difficulties that have ex-
listed since 1916 when the Queensland
government was forced, through rep
reservations made to the federal
government at the instance of Japan,
to withdraw the permit for Japanese
in the sugar fields.
In 1920 the Japanese indentured
workers resented the employment of
Paquans and Australian natives to
such a degree that the laborers of
those races were Withdrawn almost
entirely from the industry.
The garrison at Thursday Island Is
so small that 1t would be useless in
the event of any widespread trouble.

JORDAN POLICY
PROTECTION F 0 R
USED CAR BUYER
Applies Fundamental Princi-
pies To Sale Of Second
Hand Cars

Manufacturers of motor cars, fol-
lowing the lead OF successful manu-
facturers of typewriters, have heard
with applause the announcement of
the Jordan Motor Car company of a
new national sales policy which pro-
vides for the application to the Sec
ondary market for motor cars the
same fundamental principles of mer-
chandising which have always been
applied to the primary market, COW
ering the sales and advertising of
new cars.
Letters have been received by the
Jordan Motor Car company indicat-
ing that those few companies which
viii find it possible to adopt ths same
policy will before long emulate the
example of Jordan and put this policy
in effect.
This announcement will be heard
with great JOY by the owners of bet
ter grade automobiles throughout the
country because the great evil of the
automobile business today is due to
the uncertainty on the part of the
owner as to the amount of deprecia-
ton which he will have to suffer

when he brings the car to the Sec
ondary market.
There was time when people used
to ask about the number OF cylinders
the car contained, or the mechanical
construction.
Now the first question they ask is:
How much can l get for my old
carr"
Jordan mas Snaugurated a policy
which provides for the proper re-
building OF every Jordan which has
seen service in the hands of the own
err and It's sale to the second owner
with the same assurance of service
which goes with new Jordan.
This policy is looked upon in the
industry as the first big step forward
toward the proper handling and prop
err merchandising of motor cars In the
second market.

letic field, declared to be the finest
semi-pro baseball plant in the
country, has been presented by c. w.
Nash to employees of The Nash Mo-
tors company. And as a fitting touch
to the dedicatory ceremonies the
Nash baseball team was victorious
over its opponents on opening day
of the park.
There is no question in my mind"
said Mr.. Nash but that clean sports
should be encouraged by business
organization. I am firmly convinced
that athletics have their place in
business for as we know, all work
and no play makes Jack a dull boy"
Just after the opening game start
ed. Mr. Nash made several hundred
small boys happy by going to the
gates himself and inviting them in
to see the game.
The Nash baseball team which won
four out of five Of tho first five
games they played this season In

of men who previously had won
their laurels elsewhere, most OF
them having been drafted from the

In fact, they are much lower than
prices on other tires OF like high
quality" said Mr.. Gerstenbergef.
This is due to the fact that the
Hanes company does not maintain
any branches, but sells direct to
the consumer through the retail
stores This enables the user to save
considerably. The Hanes tire is
built by the Hanes family in Win
ston-Salen, and quality Is tradition
in this family and these tires live
up to the slogan. The high water
mark in tire making skill The
many tires that we have put out
since we have had the line are max

as they have demonstrated the econ

from the Paris observatory, located
not far from the Latin Quarter. But
the noises Of tho city are so great.

so noticeable that the requisite ac-
