YOUNG WOMAN, WERE YOU
In THIS FORD COUPE?

Three young men from Belmont,
Ohio, owning Ford coupe, who have
been spending a few days here, haven't
much of the coupe part of the instru-
ment left. One of them was riding
in the moonlight out beyond Riordan
Monday night and on sharp turn,
blinded by the lights from another car,
ran off the 30-foot bank. Such q
wreck! All the glass was. down. so
none disfigured the driver nor anyone
else, if there was anyone else in the
car, which seems to be mystery, but
may have something to do with the
agitated fear of young lady who
came into The Sun office next day
and, after describing an exactly sim
liar accident in which she had partic-
ipated the night before, asked that
her name not be mentioned Bliss
fully ignorant of what her name is,
it isn't hard to comply with her re-
quest. The car is in the Babbitt gar
age very, very sick.

STATE INDUSTRIAL
CONGRESS ITO MEET
HERE AUG. 22, 23

Election of director to succeed the
late Senator Hugh E. Campbell of
Flagstaff, presentation of reports on
the work of the last seven months and
on the progress of Arizona industries,
and consideration of future activities
will be prominent on the program of
the fall meeting of the directors of
the Arizona Industrial Congress, to
be held in Flagstaff August % and 23.
Interest attaches to the meeting be-
cause it is the first yet held in the
northern part of the state Prelim-
mary plans call for visits to Prescott
and Williams the 22nd, followed by
the sessions proper at Flagstaff on
the 23rd. Following the meeting in
dividual directors who desire will have
opportunity to continue on to Grand
Canyon, or to the Hopi snake dance at
Walpi if the date comedies.
Early Indications point to an ex-
cellent attendance on the part of the
score of prominent Arizonans who
make up the governing board of the
organization. Unusual interest has
been displayed, as it has been a mat
ter of regret to most of the directors
that they were unable to visit more
sections of the state and become ac-
Iquainted with their problems and their
people. While this meeting will take
but few days, it at least will allow
them to see some of northern Ari-
zona's scenic wonders and Industries,
and meet some of its citizens.

came president of United States last
Friday morning before daybreak, a
few hours after the death of President

automatically succeeds to the presl-
dency, he is not actually president un-
til he has taken the oath of office.
This formal oath, telephoned to Mr..
Coolidge from Washington to Ply
mouth, VT, where Mr.. Coolidge was
staying, was read to him by his aged
father. who is notary public. The

work the sum of $4,000,
Be it resolved, by the commission
that they hereby approve of the re-
questing of federal aid for the propos-
ed highway construction, between the
aforementioned canyons, as may be
directed by the state engineer; that

state engineer their agent and engin-
eer for the expenditure of this amount
Of money, subject to the inspection

building seven miles of the Coleman
lake section of the Williams Clarkdale
road, said section extending between
Coleman lake and Pine flats, imme-
diately south of Williams.

900 of bond money that was voted
for this road three years ago, and it
is to be matched by like amount

est of Williams, advised that the mon
ey was to be appropriated for the
purpose by the national forestry de-
partment, had not received definite
orders, pending the receipt of which

Giping the President a Chance

Comes Senator Edge of New Jersey with method
of relieving the president OF the United States OF his
overwhelming burden of detail in the White House, so
that he can maintain his health and devote himself TO
the major matters of policy of government
Senator Edges plan Is only one OF many thAt nave
been suggested since Mr.. Hardings breakdown. Edge
would add simple amendment 10 the constitution trans
ferrng the vce-presdent from his trivial post as pre-
siding officer of the senate to the far more important
duty of assistant to the president.
The vice-presidency has been a joke for half CEN
tury. The idea of duly electing to the second
highest office in the land and then giving him nothing
to do is prepoSterous, especially when viewed from
the White House. where another man, Just one step
higher in our system is burdened with work that he
cannot attend to 1t all.
Most of the other schemes for relieving the pres
dent involve the creation OF new cabinet post when
would correspond to the premier IN most modern DEM
ocratc governments One advantage OF the Edge plan
is that il involves merely putting TO work an official
ALREADY provided for in the constitution The weakness
is that this official the vcepresdent is not respons-
ibe to the president for his job and therefore might
not make an ideal subordinate.
More important than the details of the Edge plan,
however it will strike many people, is the warning that
the senator makes of the positive necessity to tighten
the executive burdens and not just talk about
it."
