Mothers Club Gives Jose
OIague Fair Chance in Life

though his leg hurt a little at first
when the doctors started to straight
en- it, the hospital attendants were
so kind to him that he did net mind
the slight pain. Visitors to the sani-
tarium took much interest in him
and in short time he had more
friends than he had ever known in
Winslow. Every day he made new
acquaintances with the result that
he received many presents.
Weeks passed away. Jose saw that
he was getting better. The longer
he stayed at the McLain institution
the more he liked it. After four
months he could walk as we'll as any
boy.
One day Jose's doctor told him
that he would soon be able to return
home He had enjoyed himself so
much that he did not like to leave
the sanitarium At last the day
came, however, that the staff of the
McLain institution pronounced him
all right, and preparations were made
for his return home.
He arrived in Winslow a few days
ago, no longer a cripple, but well
and happy boy with his left foot
Strengthened and his leg rapidly de-
veloping to the normal condition of
the other. Although Jose wears a
brace on his limb now, he will be
able to discard it after his knee and
ankle joints are more firmly set.
1t was indeed a happy as we'll as a
touching day for his parents when
thnN hi Off 4loo i
walk up to them no longer cripple.
For several years Jose's father and
his brother tried to save sufficient
funds so that the boy could be sent
to hospital. Luck, however, was
against them. When the lad was
four years old the family had saved
$500 for this purpose, but the father
took sick and it was necessary to
spend the savings. At the time of
the shopmen's strike the family had
again accumulated almost enough
money to send the boy away. This
had to be usedy however, to buy the
necessaries of life during the months
that the men were out of work.
Just when the situation seemed
more hopeless than ever, the
Mothers club was advised of the con-
dition of the boy with the result that
it decided to raise funds to send him
to sanitarium. The members of
the organization headed by Mrs.
Hubert Richardson made arrange
ments for two bazaars, which were
most successful, providing sufficient
money to keep the boy at the Nc
Lain hospital. The members spent
much of their time and went to- a
great deal of trouble to raise suffi-
cient funds. The cause was a most
worthy one, however, and the
Mothers club is deserving of the
highest praise for its untiring efforts
to give Jose a fair chance in life.

Sunshine has come into the life of
little Jose Olague.
No more will he sit and pine
to play like other children; no more
will he, in his sensitiveness, have
to hide a club foot from the gaze
of the curious; no more will he, on
account of his deformity, have to
suffer the ridicule of unfeeling boys
and girls.
All the misfortune which came
into his young life because he was
cripple making him unhappy IS
past SO far as he is concerned;
for he is a we'll boy now and has
a fair chance like other normal
youths to grow into a strong and
healthy man. Jose can play and
ronnp with other children now and
dream his dreams of becoming a
great man unhampered by the
thought Of always being cripple.
This great change in the outlook
of his life has come about IN the
course of a few short months through
the instrumentality of the Mothers
club. Last April while Jose was
attending the Coopertown school,
hobbling about as best he could with
his club foot, Miss Marguerite Wyr-
ick. principal of the school, mention
ed his case to Miss Mary Brown,
supervisor of the three primary
buildings. At the following meeting
of the Mothers club Miss Brown
brought the boys condition to the
attention of the organization with
the result that it voted to send him
to an orthopedic sanitarium in an
effort to cure his deformityy his
parents being unable to do so.
In order to meet the expense the
members of the Mothers club gave
two bazaars, which were successful,
thereby insuring sufficient funds to
effect cure in the case.
When the organization asked per-
mission to send Jose to a sanitarium,
his father and his brother were in
favor of the plan; the mother, how
ever, was opposed to sending the boy
away. She had heard of instances
in which patients at some hospitals
were i'll treated. Having a mothers
love she did not want her boy to
undergo any unnecessary suffering.
A sagacious doctor had also told her
that the boy could not be cured
The staff of the L. C. McLain
Orthopedic Sanitarium at St. Louis,
however, emphatically declared that
they could cure the lad in eight to
ten months. Receiving assurance
that Jose would be we'll taken care
of the mother consented to let him
be taken to the McLain institution.
Early in June the Mothers club had
nrade every arrangement for his en-
trance into the hospital, his father,
who works for the Santa Fe Railway
company, accompanying him on a
pass.
Jose enjoyed his stay at the hos
pital, so well treated was he. AL

JACOB T. JACOBSON ATTEMPTS
TO COMMIT SUICIDE, REPORT

Jacob T. jacobson superintendent
and general manager of the Fred
Harvey system of restaurants and
hotels west of Albuquerque and at
one time manager of the local hos
telry, attempted to commit suicide
December 27 at his home in Los
Angeles according to report printed
in last Fridays issue of the Los
Angeles Examiner.
Taking advantage of the absence
of his wife for few minutes
Jacobson is reported to have entered
the bathroom, stuffed even the key
hole, pulled a bath rug over his head
and turned on the gas from small
heater.
When Mrs. Jacobson returned, she
found the bathroom door locked and
smelled the escaping gas. Summon
ing assistance the door was broken
down and the unconcious man was
dragged into the fresh air. It was
necessary to use a pulmotor to re-
vive him. According to reports he
is on the road to recovery.
Overwork that brought on a
general debility over a period of
many months and that finally re-
suited in a nervous breakdown was
given as the reason for the suicide.

Mud CHOKES CREEK PUMPS
CAUSING WATER SHORTAGE

Mud, which filled the pumps at
the Clear Creek station during the
flood of last week, caused shortage
of water in Winslow on Saturday,
Sunday and Monday. The shortage
did not reach an acute state and was
not at all seriousy merely necessita-
ting a careful consumption.
A large amount of sediment was
washed down from the drainage basin
of Clear Creek during the flood and
this filled the pumps choking them.
1t was necessary to clean them every
four hours, causing a good deal of
delay and the, resulting shortage.
On Saturday the Santa Fe water
department used the telephone to
request the people not to use any
more water than necessary. Compli-
ance with the request on the part of
the citizens prevented an acute short
age. The officials of the department
thank the public for complying with
the request.
The water department is planning
to install a centrifugal pump at the
station which will prevent any future
shortage from flood sediment.

.ARCONAUT PLAYERS TO GIVE.
THE ABSENT RIVAL" TONIGHT
"The Absent Rival" tonight!

"The Absent Rival" tonight!
Argonaut players, the second num-
Der of the Deluxe Lyceum course
booked by the Woman's club, will
give "The Absent Rival" tonight in
the Washington school auditorium.
According to press reports this play
is clean-cut, intensely interesting and
bubbling over with genuine humor.
The troupe of five people who will
give "The Absent Rivap have been
highly praised for their dramatic
ability. The entire cast is composed
of Hollywood players who have ap-
peared in the movies or on the road.
They are directed by Mr.. Rachel,
who played the part of the "Way-
farer" in the big production put on
in Los Angeles in September.
If the drama is as good as the
Pitcher concert, the first number of
the lyceum course, you cannot afford
to miss it. Indications are that the
play will be even better than the
beginning number. Plan to attend
the performance tonight and enjoy
another big treat.

PASSENGER RAILWAY FARES
TO Be REDUCED BY ORDER

Intrastate as we'll as interstate red
uctions in railroad passenger fares in
Arizona will follow the recent order
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion lowering the rate per mile from
4.8 cents to 3.6 cents, it was an
nounced today by Amos A. Belts,
Chairman of the Arizona Corporation
Commission.
"The reductions ordered by the
Interstate Commission" declared Mr.
Belts, represent the greatest rate
victory ever won by Arizona, and
are especially gratifying to members
of the Arizona Corporation Commits
sion, who have been fighting for a
reduction since 1920"
''This order, effective February 25,
is a reversal of the previous stand
Of the interstate body and its effect
will be to place Arizona, Nevada and
New Mexico on parity with other
states of the Union, which have long
enjoyed the lower rate"
In the course Of the last hearing
on the subject, the railroads testified
that the proposed reduction would
mean loss of $5,000,000 annually
in the three states affected, and from
this it is estimated that the public
will be saved upwards of S2y000,000
per year, on its Arizona railroad
travel bill.
The order affects rates on the main
lines of the Santa Fe System,
Southern Pacific and El Paso &
Southwestern Railroads.

People Need to Be Educated
to Fact That Mental Dis
ease Is Not Disgrace, but
Should Be Treated as
Other Ills

Frank Mcdowell, when he fired
the mattress on which his two sis
tiers were sleeping and burned them
to death, and, exactly a year later
took the lives of both his parents
while they slept, was actuated by
much the same form of religious
fantacism that caused the people of
rehgion-loving Salem to burn
witches" at the stake in the rela-
lively dark ages of the Eighteenth
century, in the opinion Of DR.. New
digate NJ. Owensby, distinguished At
lanta alienist.
DR.. OWensby, whose opinion was
predicated solely on newspaper ac-
counts OF young McDowell's confess
sion to the horrible double murders,
declared Thursday that the maniacal
religious ideas expressed in the
weird heart-shaped letter left by the
youthful slayer formed ample basis
for the belief that he was a sufferer
from paraphrenia, a paranoidal form
of dementia praecox, the commonest
and most dangerous known form OF
insanity.
And, DR.. Owensby further deClar-
ed, there are more than $50 other
persons in Atlanta who have come
under his observation and who are
suffering from precisely the same
mental malady; who are potential
murders if their peculiar hallucina-
lions are ever opposed, but who are
allowed to roam at large either be-
cause Of defective state laws on in
sanity or because their families, err
roneously believing that a mental
disorder is a disgrace, are loath to
give the matter attention.
Such crimes. DIR. Owensby said,
point emphaticaliy to the need for
aethorough revision of the antiquat.
ed insanity laws on the statute
books of Georgia, requiring a jury
trial by laymen and the incarcera-
ton of a supposedly insane person
in Jail pending commitment to an
asylum. instead of requiring a quiet
examination by competent alienists,
and commitment on their decision,
as is provided in the more modern
laws of some other states, notably
Maryland.
They also point. he said, TO the
need of a campaign of education to
acquaint the people Of the country
with what insanity really is; to
make them understand that it is a
disease, the same as pneumonia.

ailments, and should be treated as

TELEPHONE GIRLS
SUMMON F|REMEN
AND DIE At POSTS
Rescuers Arrive Too Late
to Save Brave AndaIusia
Night Operator and Her
Sister

ANDALUSIA. Ala, Feb. 21,-
! Ina Donaldson~21, operator at the
Andalusia Telephone company for
three years, and her sister, Maude
Donaldson, %, or Selma, Ala, met
death from suffocation as they
CROPPED through dense films of smoke
in the telephone office to turn on
an alarm of fire here early today.
The two-story brick building owned
by J. D. Henderson, of Tuscaloosa,
and Mrs. w. M. Cox, was destroyed
by fire.
The fire, causing the snuffing out
of the lives of the heroic young
girls and netting a fire and water
damage to p. Lewis jewelry store,
twelve office rooms upstairs and j.
L. Knox & Co., to an amount
approximately SIS 900, started in the
office on the southwest corner up
stairs, of undetermined origin, &C.
cording to Chief Clyde Brawner of
the Andalusia fire department.
Although it was APO this morning
when the alarm was turned in, Chief
of Police Flowers, who answered
the police alarm turned in by Miss
Edna Donaldson, who, it was found
after the smoke had cleared, had
staggered to the switchboard after
being used from her cot and made
two efforts in the blackness to con-
meet the phone of Chef Brawner,
plugging the connectil MS on either
side of his, it was evident that .e,e
fire started several hours sooner to
have filled the rear offices fthe
telephone company and others with
heavy films of smoke.
AS the firemen rushed into the
builCipg, the signal went out that
the telephone operators were in the
building.
Eugene Brawner, Bill Stuckey,
Mack Barron and Chief BraWner
braved smoke to a suffocating de-
greek entering by the rear south
window, the room where the opera
tors were. Cropping in the smoke,
forgetful of risk, Gene Brawner en-
tered the room where the switch
board was with the use of a gas
mask, to find that both the girls had
reused themselves and could not be
located. Back to the window, he
threw the mask aside, and, with Bill
Stuckey, entered another window
and crawling on the floor, they
found the tVSo young women, partly
dressed, lying near each other on
the floor. The bodies were still warm.
but lifeless.
The two men rushed through the
window with one Of the bodies and
Stuckey was overcome and could
not re-enter. The other recovery
was made by Mack Barron and Gene
Brawner, with the aid of Clyde
Brawenr and others who were at
the window.
According to Captain Broughton,
who also searched the rooms for the
operators through the smoke Miss
F'ostiue Gunter, the other regular
operator with Miss Edna Donaldson,
had gone TO Florida On visit, and
that Miss Rogers had been serving
as a substitute. On last night, how
ever, she was told not to come, as
