Must Accept His Increase in Salary

Here Is an up-to-date portrait OF
Henry st. George Tucker, Democrat,
Of Lexington, who represents the
Tenth Virginia district in the nation
al house. He declined to accept the
$500 increase In salary which con-
gress at the last session voted to give
itself. Doubtless he felt a bit lone
some, for so far as known only seven
other members Of the house-and no
senators-turned down the increase.
And his refusal was all in vain, for
Comptroller General McCarl ruled that
the increase must be accepted.
The salary bill increased the sal
aries of members of congress from
$7.7OO to $4,000. The cabinet men,
bers were raised from $4,000 to $751;
600; also the vice president and the
speaker Of the house. The bill was
passed without a roll call in either
chamber. The President hesltated q

Man at Casa Grande
Suffers Strange Injury

"A Mexican believed to be Garthy
Calvert, recently arrived in this
country from Mexico, lies at the
point of death in the Pinal county
hospital at Florence while authori-
ties are making inquiries into mys-
terious circumstances of the in
juries which, attending physicians
say, probably will prove fatal.
The man, well dressed, apparent
ly cultured, and carrying among
his effects cards bearing his name,
"Garthy Calvert, artist" was found
with his skull fractured, one leg
broken and seriously cut and
bruised beside the railroad tracks
sixteen miles west of Casa Grande.
He was discovered on the siding
by the crew of an eastbound train
and was taken by them to Casa
Grande.
While the man was being rushed
to the hospital authorities were in
vestigating the theories Of accident,
attempted suicide and assault with
robbery as the possible motive.
Attempted suicide was considered
as a theory because of letter
which the man had written with
the apparent intention of sending
it to his mother, but which was not
mailed The letter describes the
writer as 'the black sheep" of the
family, and expresses the intention
of Joining my father who, the let
ter indicates, is dead.
The concluding paragraph of the
letter, however, is in a different
vein, explaining that the writer in
tended to go from Tucson to Phoe-
nix and then to Los Angeles, where
employment is declared to be in
prospect. The letter was addressed
to Dolores Calva, in Mexico.
The theory of assault is based on
the nature of the wound in the
mans head which, it was said,
would have been difficult to sus-
tain in falling froma train.

The Ardmore High school has a
pretentious schedule ahead of it for
1925 in the football realm. and
Puny is going to take every advan-
tage he can of getting his moleskin
warriors whipped into shape before
the season opens When Puny's
charges return to school this fall
they will not only be far ahead of
their classmates in athletic circles,
but they will outdistance them in
their scholastic work, since the
thirty days under the broad skies
will chase all of the cobwebs out
of their craniums and will make
their minds veritable sponges for
the absorption of studies.
Several other schools and univer-
sites of the Eighth Corps area are
considering the possibility of doing
as Puny James has done. But he
is not considering it at all-no, he
has passed the stage Of considering
it. He has done it.
DR.. C. L. Hathaway, of Winslow,
has charge of applications for the
C. NJ. T. camps from this district,
and will gladly furnish all infor-
nation relative to the thirty-day
outing offered young men by the
War department.

FOOTBALL SQUAD
TO ATTEND THE
TRAINING CAMP

There is no grass growing under
the feet of one Puny James, head
coach of the athletic teams of the
Ardmore High school, Ardmore,
Ok. The same spirit of up-and-
at-'em which carried the name of
Harold L. James to victory on
many fields of battle in the past
has prompted this energetic sports
mentor to take advantage of the
thirty days of training offered by
Uncle Sam this summer.
To do this, Puny is simply taking
his gridiron stalwarts to Fort Sill
as students in the Citizens Military
Training camp which will be held
there beginning July % for thirty
days. All of the expenses of his
squad will be paid by the govern
ment, including their transportation
and subsistence from their door
steps to Fort Sill and return, their
lodging, meals, laundry and cloth
ing at the camp. For thirty solid
days they will be housed together,
will work together as c. M. T. c.
students, and will be available aft
ernoons for a good stiff session of
grid work under the personal SUI
pervision of their head coach.
James is an officer of the Reserve
corps and thus he knows the bene
fits accruing to an individual re-
sulting from thirty consecutive
days of sound training such as the
G. NJ. T. camps alone supply in this
country He knows the great ad
vantage to be derived from the
steady work, excellent meals, regu
lar hours, and above all else, the
mental and moral discipline which
is inculcated at the camps. Puny
knows whereof he speaks, as he
was there himself.
Bending over pool table or
standing on the corner of Main
street and Elm avenue didn't fit
James to win the inter-allied track
meet in Paris in 1919, when he was
a member of the A. E. F., and the
same year win the inter-university
track meet against sixteen other
universities, when he came back
from France. Not much. 1t was
the basic training that Puny had
received in his school days, aug
mented by the rigorous training
received in the army during the
war, that fitted him to add to those
laurels.
James holds two letters at the
University of Oklahoma in baseball,
track, wrestling, football and bas-
ket ball; held the state record for
the javelin throw for six years;
now holds the Pyrennes record for
the javelin throw, and was mem
ber of the all-state basket ball
team for three years Not such
bad record for any young American
to boast of.
James will attend the training at
Fort Sill as a reserve officer and
will be placed on the staff of the
athletic officer there as an assist
ant. When he isn't driving his own
cohorts ahead of him on the sodded
pastures he will be helping the ath-
letic officer drill the other 1,100
students.
