FLAGSTAFF BABY SEES
FOR FIRST TIME SINCE
BIRTH, II MONTHS AGO

BY an unusual operation sight was
given the 11-months old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. r. McVey of Flag
stall by an Albuquerque surgeon a
few days ago. The little one, whose
name is Mildred, had been blind from
birth, and her parents had no hope
that she ever would see, but the sur
geon prevailed upon them to let him
try.
Mr.. McVey has for more than a
year been connected with the shipping
department at the Arizona Lumber &
Timber Co. mill.
Of the operation the following was
extracted from one of the Albuquer-
que dailies: "'Our joy is great that
we now have a normal child said
Mrs. McVey. She is stopping with
her sister, Mrs. |. E. Bell, 1902 North
Fifth street. More than once it has
seemed little Mildred would be taken
away. She weighed only three pounds
when she was born and we had to
feed her with medicine dropper for
weeks The child now weighs about
10 pounds and will soon be cover the
top with no physical impairment and
the same opportunity as the average
youngster."

RADIO EXPERT OFFERS
ADVICE TO BEGINNERS

Flagstaff, Arizona, Jan. 5, 1924.
Editor "The Sum-"
Flagstaff, Arizona.
Dear Sir:
With the advent during the holidays
of several new radio receiving sets in
Flagstaff, perhaps few words con-
cerning their operation will be ap-
propriate.
Every person using a receiving set
should understand that not only some
degree of skill is required but also.
etiquette of the ether" The reason
for the latter is seldom understood ex-
cept by the 'old head" or some one
who has operated a set for a long
time. Every receiving set known as
regenerative, or capable of producing
oscillations, sends out into the ether
a note" similar to the whistle" or
carrier wave sent from transmitting
station. This mote" interferes with
any other receiving set attempting to
tune to the same station. This in
reference between receiving sets in
the same locality makes it imperative
that the utmost care be used in tun-
ing. Do not see-saw back and forth
and II you get interference and can
not tune in the same station satiSfac-
tor1ly DO not annoy your neighbor, and
perhaps best friend, trying to do SO
but after a few minutes pass it up
and try some one else. Do not allow
children to play with the set unless
they are capable of really operating it
in the proper manner. Above all
things do not permit the set to reach
the oscillative point. That is, the point
where it causes loud whistle or
squawk in its own telephones. Do not
attempt to see how many stations YOU
can hear in five minutes, or an hour.
1t is unfair to your neighbor. You
cause him to loose several words, or
bars of music every time you change.
Several receiving sets can be tuned
to the same station if great care and
caution are used and if some one
doesn't get excited or discouraged,
because he hears a faint whistle or
two along with the music, and starts
tuning back and forth, disturbing sew
eral other people and not getting any
where himself.
With little consideration and for
bearance on the part of each one us
ing set, it will be found that a
great deal more pleasure, as we'll as
reliability of the set, may be had.
The facts outlined at the beginning
of this letter have caused an awful
jam" in the large cities, and very
few, if any, of the listeners there ever
hear a station outside their own city.
We, out here in the thinly populated
sections, have great advantages, if
rightly used, and have practically
clear sailing, except when interrupt
ed by induction from our city light
plant.
Yours for better radio,
F. A. MILLER.

 You should have parted with hiIA long ere this, sis"
 But, Ben, he gets so little to do, and he's always faithful, but really can't employ him any more, fear"
 What are his other crimes and mis- demeanors?"
 You know that big, yellow cat who adopted me as soon as 1 came out this spring? l felt sorry for the poor waif, and I-let her stay. I beHed her so she wouldn't kill our birds. She became the mother of large family of kittens, and l asked Tim if he knew any per sons who would like them. He said he thought he could dispose of them. Last night as he was leaving I asked him to swhom he gave the kittens I didn't give 'em to nobody he answered. Nobody wants them dog gone critters. I just killed 'em.'
 "'Oh, howl? asked. Did you drown the poor little things?'
 No, Miss Belinda I hadn't the heart to drowned them. I just buried 'em.' Oh, Ben, wasn't that terrible, to bury them alive?"
 T told you long ago, Belinda, that you should let doddering Tim resign his position of man Friday"
 But he won't resign. He won't stay away when I fell him to-"

 That would break his heart, Ben.'

Blouses Holding Important
 Place '.

"HIS season the blouse has come to
 place of greater importance than
 it has held for many moons. The tailored mode and the popularity eE boyish styles are largely responsible for this. And what lovely blouses are coming forth! There are blouses of every style, color and material, with the strictly tailored models leading all the rest. When one thinks of tailored blouses, those old-time affairs with the high necked collar, stiff pleated front, full sleeves, cuff buttons and tie, such as the strict schoolmarm has been wont to wear, are sure to come to mind.
 Unlike the former tailored blouses. we now can get the most mannish sort of skirt in any color we desire. The bright blue or yellow shirt worn with a dark suit and tie is extremely youth full and gay, while the white blouse still retains it's peculiar charm. There is always a certain neatness and snap that white collars and cuffs give to a dark costume, and this point will in- sure lasting grace to the white blouse, despite the beauty of the new colored ones.
 One blouse is an example of the sim piicity and .smartness typical of the mode. It is of white cotton broadcloth and is cut similar to a middy blouse about the hips. The collar and cuffs, with their pearl button links, are tail ored perfectly, with narrow, flat pleated bands of the material used as edging. The blouse is hip length with tiny slit pockets, neatly bound. A min ute black ribbon tie is worn with the blouse in the picture, but real man nish ties in stripes or co,ors would be just as good looking.
 In the collections of the. tailored things practically all the blouses run true to type, with either high mems collars or the flat kind pictured, long sleeves, cuffed and linked and usually front openings. The differences lie in the trimmings on collars and cuffs, if there are any at all, and in the ma terials. Silk and cotton broadcloth, dimity, handkerchief linen and crepe de chine are all used to good advantage, while the most popular shades in the colored blouses in any of these ma terials, are powder blue, tan, gold, yell low, rose or pale green.
 Of course, all the newest blouses are not the tailored ones, as there are many dressy blouses and lacey ones for those whose taste runs that way. Oyerblouses that can be worn either with a suit or later on with white skirt come in silk crepes and chiffons richly beaded in steel or crystal beads, or trimmed with embroidery. Peasant blouses in all the glory of reds and blues are seen here and there, suggesting charming costumes when worn with the right complements. Then there are frilly ruffiy. blouses of finest linen, hand. se%ed and so dainty they seem fairy. like. These have the front ruffIe or jabot which is very good just now, and more dignified than the boyish type of blouses. Invariably one finds the older woman of established smartness choos. ing this sort of blouse, with good taste and conservative chic in every line and stitch of its frailness.
