STORK WINS IN RACE AGAINST
TAXI ON TEMPLE ROAD

Stepping along like Wise Counsellor
in the international, the well known
Stork, who like time and tide, waits
for none, won race Saturday with
a speeding taxicab. Though the Stork
has on numerous occasions overtaken
fast trains, this seems to be the first
occasion in the Salt River valley
where he has raced with an automo-
bile.
Mr. and Mrs E. A. Brittenham, the
prospective parents, left Mesa at six
o'clock Saturday morning for st.
Joseph's hospital in Phoenix in fast
taxi. For a time it looked as though
the taxi would win, but the Stork
forged ahead just as the taxi was
passing the Arizona packing plant
The mother and child are reported
to be doing splendidly at st. Joseph's
hospital. Gazette.

u. S. POSTAL CLERKS
WILL HAVE DINNER
AT HOME CHRISTMAS

Last year, through the generous CO.
operation Of the press, the movies and
other advertising mediums, Christmas
maiIers were induced to dispatch their
Yuletide presents earlier in the month
than ever before in the history of the
institution of gift exchanging in the
holiday season
AS a result the spectacle of the
last minute rush of former years,
with it's attendant heartbreaking labor
on the part of wearied and nerve
worn store clerks and postal en-
ployees, was avoided.
This year Postmaster General New
and First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral John H. Bartlett have determined
to make an even better record and to
Danish for all time the suffering I'M
dergone in past years by those en-
gagged in the sale or transportation
of gifts. They hope to make "Shop
Early" and mail Early" habit with
the American people.
Mailing early does not mean De-
cember l or before, but if everyone
could get their holiday tokens in the
mail between December 10 and De-
cember TO- the post office could not
ask more.
Particular attention this year will
be paid to greeting cards. Despite
the success last year it was noted
that the last-minute mail consisted
largely of cards. Possibly many of
them were returned greetings to
friends, heard from on previous
mail, but overlooked on the original
Christmas list Unlike parcels and
letters containing money orders, cards,
of course, can not well be marked
do Not Open Until Christmas"
Therefore, it is possible that the many
mailers hold them until the last to
insure delivery on Christmas Eve.
This class of mailers this year, how
ever, may find their cards undelivered
until after Christmas day.
Believing that the energies of postal
employees should not be Slapped to
the last degree for any avoidable
reason, and intent upon securing for
them the same Christmas privileges
enjoyed by others, Postmaster Al
Kleindienst asks the hearty co-opera-
ton OF WinSlow people. The last
minute, or zero hour has been moved
up so that all postal employees may
eat their Christmas dinners at home.
Rural carriers will deliver no mail at
all on Christmas day and clerks and
carriers in the city offices will stop
work promptly at noon.

 How Lynn takes its annual bath is a lesson in civic cleanliness The cam paign lasted from April 2i to May 2i, under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce.

 The fire department made iS,e33 inspections; police ordered 300 im- proyements; the street department cleaned 320 miles Of gutters and re- moved 15,0oO cubic yards of sweep ings; the park department cleaned, raked and graded nearly 5000 acres.

 The price. however, is very uneven. On one road there were five gasoline service stations which were selling it at from t9 to 25 cents.
 Underlying the price decline is an industrial slump in the mid-continent petroleum field, where small lots of finished gasoline are selling for lesV than nine cents d gallon, which is be- low the cost Of production.

FOUR PUT TO DEATH
 IN TRENTON PRISON
Executions Take Less Than 40
 Minutes..NeW Record

 died in the electric chair at the state
 prison last night. Three of them,
 Frank W. Taylor and his son-in-law

 The four executions took place within period of forty minutes. Each was carried out without unusual in- cidcnt.
 Bagdonowiz, before he went to his death made a statement that The was taking his to save his pals" and laid his wrong doing to the spending of ten years out of his twenty-three in institutions.
 According to testimony at their trial in Woodbury, last January, Allen Tay- Tor and Briglia entered Croziers home a year ago in search of a large amount of money they believed he had hidden. Only SIP was found. The farmer was killed when he resisted.
 Anthony Bagdonowiz, 2S years old, of Brooklyn, was convicted with two others of the murder of William Bish- op, Camden taxicab driver, April IS, 1923. Four men got into Bishops car at the Market street ferries and or dered him to drive out the Burlington Pike, near Sorrel Horse. Bishop was shot and killed. A friend accompany ing him was wounded and thrown to the road and the car was stolen.
 One of the four escaped and has never been arrested. A second, Victor turned states evidence and was sentenced to fifteen years im- orisonment. The death sentence of a ,hird, Manfredo Grasso. was commut- ,d by the board of pardons to life im- ,risonment because he only was 16 ;ears old. Grasso admitted firing the | atal shot.
