back just as well. Coming down
Sixteenth street in the morning
there's always a big fat bus
parked at every corner, so you
can't see who's coming out OF
the side street at twenty-five
miles an hour until you hear
the tinkle, tinkIe, Of busted wind
shields.
If the casualty list can be re-
duced five or six collisions per
year by moving the stop signs
back a couple Of bus lengths, 1t
doesn't seem as though we should
let digging q few post holes stand
in the way. About 80 per cent OF
traffic entanglements are con-
tracted at street crossings, and
obstructing the view of these
critical points won't help much
to straighten matters out.
Is there something cake-eater-
like in the nature of busseS that
makes them hang around street
corners; or is there something in
the nature of the street corner
that Graves the company of
busses; or do they merely follow
the custom of street cars estab-
lished in the days when there
were no automobiles?
Whatever 1t is why not give
the motorist a chance and move
the bus stops back a little so
he can have a clear view down
the side streets?
Make it Snappy.
The question Of car stop signs
Is becoming acute too. They're
like a civil service exam.-you
don't know you've passed it until
you get a notice. The only thing
in creation that's more constantly
overlooked than car stop sign Is
a contribution box.
II we could only arouse as
much enthusiasm about saving
life as we do about selling gum,
passing street cars would become
a lost art. But now, to drive
through an unfamiliar part of the
city without danger Of passing
car stop, you've got to be a
clairvoyant.
Mark the stop points with
mushroom lights after dark, and
Book beer signs during the day.
time. and not one motorist in
million will overlook them.
We're doing pretty well in re-
ducing our traffic casualty list.
We've only killed four people so
far this year, while during the
similar period last year we killed
ten. II we can reduce the list
from ten to 4, the simplest pri-
mary arithmetic will show that
we can reduce it from four to
none.
But we can't do that and over.
look any bets. And when we
tuck the car stop signs away out
OF sight, we're overlooking a good
one. There is no reason why the
car stop signs shouldn't be as
conspicuous as the go.go sema-
phores. And every reason why
they should. But somehow we
haven't any high hopes that they
will. Selling gum offers higher
rewards than saving life.

Dinner at Women's Club

Saturday evening the Woman's club
gave a chicken dinner in the new club
house to raise money for the pur-
chase of club silverware. Twas a
grand success. The committee wishes
to apologize, however, because of the
shortage of food toward the last of
the evening. The reason was that
some of the people who bought tic
kets were not sure as to whether they
would be present. AS a result the
women did not know just how many
they could count on and toward the
last ran short on food. The meal was
excellent. The weather was incle-
ment, so some who could not get to
the clubhouse sent baskets with plates
and had dinner brought to them. AS
to the shortage-the club assures the
public that next time there will be no
lack of fodder.

JACK FUSS HELPING
STANTON BORUM AT THE
CAMERON TRADING POST

Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Fuss left Sun
day morning for Cameron trading
post where Jack is to act as assistant
from now on. Mr.. and Mrs. Fuss had
returned Thursday evening from their
jaunt to the Painted Desert, where
they had trailed about while Jack
painted.
Their departure to the post came as
a surprise to their friends. But the
labor at Cameron had become more
than one man could handle, especially
since tent houses have been installed
for the accommodation of tourists who
have long wanted such accommoda-
tions at the post, to have a chance
to see the magnificent scenery which
lies all about Cameron. Stanton Bo-
rum, chief of the post, reports that a
well has been dug there and that this
will obviate the necessity of hauling
water. Soon he hopes to install an
engine and tanks to keep a reserve
supply on hand. In his spare time
Jack will keep up his landscape paint
ing.

LUMBER FREIGHT HEARING
BEFORE EXAMINER ENDED

Hearing of a complaint filed with
the interstate commerce commission
attacking the rates on lumber and
box shocks from mill points in north
ern Arizona to the west coast of Mex
leo was completed before Federal Ex-
aminer Kephart of the federal COM
mission at Phoenix Monday.
Both the complainants and the de
fendant railroad companies were
granted until April 16 in which to
file briefs in the case. The complaint
attacking the rates was filed with
the interstate commerce commission
by Jones, Blaine and Jones, traffic
counsellors of Phoenix, on behalf of
the mills in northern Arizona.
The complaint attacked the rates on
lumber and box shocks from Flag
staff, Williams and Holbrook and
other mill points in northern Arizona
to the west coast of Mexico via Phoe-
nix, Tucson and Nogales. Exhibits
We're introduced during the hearing
by the complainants tending to show
that the rates charged by the rail-
roads for the shipment of the same
commodities from California mill
points to the west coast OF Mexico
were approximately one-half the
rates charged by the railroads for the
shipment of the same commodities
from Arizona mill points to the west
coast. 1t also was stated that
the distance in Arizona was less thar
the hauls made in California to the
west coast.

Dear Sir: Being comparatively a
newcomer to Flagstaff | am not quite
sure but that this job of letter writing
belongs to one of the old-timers, but
somehow or other they keep putting
it off.
Figuring conservatively there are
at least % radio receiving sets in the
city. There are at least two or more
person that listen daily at each set,
making total of not less than so
persons that depend to large extent
upon the radio for their recreation
and entertainment. There are some
shut-ins that have no other source of
entertainment. | know this to he a
fact because / am one of them.
| ask in all seriousness whether or
not it is fair for one woman with a
violet-ray machine to interrupt and
render absolutely unintelligible, at
various times during the evening, the
splendid programs and speeches being
received by radio.
| am told that the woman mention
ed has been informed of the intelfer-
ence her machine causes, but the
trouble continues. There is absolute
ly no objection to using the violet rays
in the daytime, but there are moral,
and believe legal, objections to their
use after six p. m.
Furthermore SO out of 100 doctors
On. D's) will inform any inquirer
that the medical value of violet rays
is quite doubtful and has long since
been practically abandoned.

siderable expense to have this nuis-
ance abated

the subject in general and the teach

heard of. Now, "a states have passed
laws making it compulsory. The main
address of the evening was made by
R. P. Gilliland,. post commander of the

inspiring talk and covered the sub
ject citizenship" splendidly. During
the intermission between the program
and business meeting refreshments of
punch and waters were served.
