Gle of his appearing in the November
number of Smart Set, The woman

Warner Fabian contributes to the
discussion by discovering an element
Of danger In this woman's charm,
and the danger he attributes to her
adventure in the war. For woman

neighborhood," he says. The expert

Fabian dismisses as narrow compared
with the experiences of the girl who
was at her prime during the high

days, he says, she had "too intimate
a view of too many men," She stepped
out of that little circle where "thc
neutrality-suspicious. are highest In
cash and position, and mingled with
men of different kind than she had
ever known. She got a taste of life
and romance, and is nov "a restless

BOUND OVER
TO SUPERIOR court
ON ROBBERY CHARGE

John Bradley and Bill Cole, two
alleged robbers, who were arrested
February 13 on the charge of holding
up Bill Ford in front of the Opera
House eleven days ago, waived pre-
iminary examination at their hear
ing in the Justice court last Friday
afternoon and were bound over to
the Superior court, their bond being
fixed at $4,000 each which they were
unable to furnish. The youthful pair
were taken to Holbrook on Saturday
and lodged in the county bastile to
await trial.
Bill Ford, who caused the arrest
of the two men, identified them as
the ones who had held him up. Chin
King, night man at the Parlor cafe,
also identified one of the prisoners
as the gunman who made him stick
up his hands when the restaurant
was robbed in January. A. E. Gil
lard also made the statement that
he was satisfied the youths were the
ones who attempted to hold him up
in December.
Ford was held up by two unmasked
robbers as he stepped out on the
walk in front of the Opera House
to enter John Barncord's apartment
to put the receipts of the show in
the safe The gunmen took the cash
box which contained about $35 and
escaped. Owing to the fact that the
front of the theatre is well lighted,
Ford was able to get a good view
of the hold up pair; and when he
saw them on the street a couple of
days later, he had them arrested.
Chin King was robbed during the
latter part of January by a lone
unmasked gunman, who entered the
Parlor Gale, ordered a cup ol coffee,
and after paying it, stuck a revolver
in the walters side, took about S33
from the cash register and escaped
Two masked robbers attempted to
hold A E. Gillard up in the early
part of December as he was nearing
his home at the corner of Third and
Berry avenues about ten o'clock at
night. Instead of obeying their COM
mand Mr.. Gillard grabbed their re-
volver, and they shot point blank
at him, the bullet striking his watch
and miracuously saving his life.
1t is thought that the youthful
pair have been hanging around Win
slow, pulling their robberies when
ever they needed money.

LOCAL HIGH DEBATERS
WIN FROM SNOWFLAKE

Winslow High won the annual de-
bate from the Snowflake academy
last week at the latter institution,
Glenn Evans and Mary Dudziak, who
represented the local school, uphold
ing the affirmative side of the
question, "Resolved, that presidential
candidates should be nominated by a
nationwide direct primary.
The main arguments advanced by
the negative in support of the pre-
sent system were that the convention
is in harmony with American ideas
of government, that the convention
is a deliberative assembly and that
well informed men do the nominat-
ing. The Snowflake team contended
that the cost of the direct primary
would reach prohibitive figure and
that the system advocated gives an
opportunity for minority candidates
to be nominated.
Some of the arguments advanced
by the affirmative side OF the
question were that the convention
system is undemocratic, unrepresen-
tative of the wishes of the people,
and that it promotes boss rule. The
local debaters asserted that the pr1-
mary would do away with much of
the corruption prevailing under the
present system and that it would
place the power in the hands of the
people.
Judges of the contest were Thor
valid Larson, Holbrook; Levi S. Udall
St. Johns; and J. L. Jones of Lake
side. The decision was two to one
in favor of the local school. Miss
Edith, Claire Sharp, head of the
English department at Winslow High
accompanied the debaters to Snow
flake
On March 8, Williams will debate
the local high school team at the
Washington auditorium on the same
question, Winslow tpholding the af-
firmative side.

HARVEY LUNCH ROOM
OPENS FOR BUSINESS

Fred Harvey's lunch room which
has been enlarged, remodeled and
newly equipped at an expenditure of
approximately $4,000, was opened on
Monday evening for operation. Wins
the largest Harvey lunch room as
well as one of the best on the
Santa Fe coast lines.
The capacity of the room has been
increased from At to 72 seats, three
horseshoe counters having been in
stalled. A kitchen with all new
equipment has been built so that
the lunch room facilities are separate
from those of the dining room. The
floor is covered with tile on a cement
foundation except within the counters
where a vulcanized rubber covering
has been installed, thus making it
much easier on the mattresses.
Among the features that have been
provided are an electric griddle, an
electric dishwasher costing $1,400,
new coffee urns and new refrigerator
display boxes. A large electric
toaster has been ordered and will
be put in operation as soon as it
arrives. Indirect brasscoe lighting
fixtures will also be installed as
soon as they are received from the
factory.
Workmen are now engaged in fit
ting up the lobby which was utilized
as a lunch room while the new
quarters were being remodeled. The
lobby will be put in first-class con-
dition, the furniture upholstered and
making it practically new.
Fred Harvey's remodeled lunch
room is a great improvement for the
local hostelry.

dustries and the creation of new in
dustries are the only means by which
a Tightening of the tax burden can
