FLOWERS FOR THE LIVING

Here's few words of appreciation for the Ari-
zona Industrial congress.
May it prosper and be long in the land, and may
its tribe increase.
1t came into existence without any beating of
the gongs. few men got together and started
it. That was several years ago.
People at once wondered what was the big idea;
what interest was to be served under that camou-
flage Arizona Industrial congress-
Maybe the name doesn't mean much, but the
public began to findlout the intents and purposes
of the organization
1t was a congregation of big men who could and
would do things for their home state.
They forgot about personal and home jealousies.
They put the state foremost in everything. De-
velopment of all parts Of Arizona was their aim.
Their pull-together spirit has been partly respon-
sible for the remarkable gains Arizona has made
in the past few years. The Arizona industrial
congress is one of the states vital forces for
In its work is lesson to every part of the
southwest. Most of us talk much about coopera-
tion but don't work at it very hard.-El Paso

NOSE POKING LAWS

The publication of income tax payments made
by individuals does not seem to have pleased
either those who paid it or those who read it. 1t
aid not reveal very accurately what the rich were
worth since they have been investing strongly in
non-taxable bonds to avoid paying the high in
come tax rates. This law is about on par with
the law compelling newspaper publishers to pub
sh a sworn statement twice annually showing all
who are financially interested in it. All the good
such laws can possibly accomplish is to satisfy the
idle curiosity of gossips. 1t may have made some
legislators chortle with glee when they passed
these laws with the hope of getting even" with
some one they disliked. If it is good thing why
not pass a law compelling each individual to show
each month how much cash he has in his posses
sion and where he got it along with a sworn
statement as to how much he owes. In this way
we could poke our noses into the private affairs
of all and just have oodles of fun.

MOST FOR YOUR MONEY AT THE CANYON

There have been at frequent intervals, articles
in the press of the state, objecting to conditions
at Grand Canyon, and intimating that charges Tor

The Epitaph, will soon write an article for this
paper, in which he will give his views on the sub
iect and his information will be first-hand, as ne

he will Also in his article make few enghtening
comparisons Mr. Gardner is of the opinion that
the tourist gets more for his money at the Grand
Canyon than anywhere he has ever been, and his
travels have taken him all over the United States,

No tourist need miss the opportunity to see the
Grand Canyon because of the false reports being
circulated regarding exorbtant charges for ac-
commodations-Tom Epitaph

You often hear people asking since the two air
disasters following one another SO closely: why
do they attempt such things?" We believe that
evolution is the cause of it all. Trying, expert
nenting, taking chances and testing out is vast
field in which most of the human race are vitally
interested If there was not that spirit of adven-
tufe we would probably be back in the stone age
cracking skulls instead of jokes. God evidently
made man that way, intending he should work his
way from darkness to light. Facts, not theories,
make men.

a few lason men at Mormon lake during the sum-

very narrow and hard to travel. So far our only

POLICE FAIL TOGET
| G|LLAN'S PERMIT
Report Inability to Notify
| Sixsmith's Ex-Chauffeur
Z He Is Barred as Driver.

Charles W. Gillian, colored, former
chauffeur of Arthur z. Sixsmith,
secretary to Secretary OF the Treas
ury Mellon, characterized by Police
Court Judge Gus A. Schuldt and
Police Capt. Robert E. Doyle as
''one of the most reckless drivers
ever brought into Police Court" and
as "a menace to society" Is still free
to drive automobiles on the streets
of Washington because Of the fact
that an order revoking his permit
issued by the District Commissioners
has not yet been served.
At police headquarters today it was
stated that notice of the revocation
of Gillan's permit had been sent to
the second police precinct, in which
Gillian lived, but that 1t had been
returned because the precinct report
ed IL was unable to serve the notice
on him and seize his permit. Since
the formal revocation of the permit,
nearly a month has elapsed and po-
lice are still on the outlook for him.
Technically, however, Gillian may
continue to operate machines without
violating the law. Gillian Is now en-
ployed by Mr.. Sixsmith as a mes
senger.
1t was stated at police headquar-
ters that GILLIAN couldn't drive across
the city before a policeman would
recognize him" Unless at the time
Gillian happened to violate some other
traffic regulation, the worst that
could befall him would be the loss of
his permit as decreed.
Gillian was convicted of reckless
driving by a Police Court jury De-
cember 9 and fined $500, the maximum
by Judge Schuldt December 13.
Immediately following his convic-
ton, Capt. Robert E. Doyle of the
eighth police precinct recommended
the revocation of Gillan's permit,
stating in his report to Maj. Sullivan,
superintendent of police, that in his
opinion Gillian was "a dangerous char
acter as an operator Of any automo-
bile" and that he was "a menace to
society"
Upon the receipts of the report, MAJ
Sullivan conferred with the District
Commissioners, who revoked Gillan's
permit December Is.
The charge Of reckless driving was
based upon the collision of the ma
chine which Gillian was driving with
a small truck owned and operated by
j. D. Matthews, carpenter, the acct
dent occurring near the south end of
the Connecticut avenue bridge. Mat
thews and his helper. Wilbur Smith,
were taken to Garfield Hospital as the
result of injuries they received. Wit
neSses in court testified that Gillian
was driving at the rate of As miles
an hour at the time.

CASALS ENHANCES
PRESTIGE AS CELLIST
Program Holds Audience With
Brilliance of Technique and
Beauty of Tone.

Pablo Casals, Spanish cellist, is a
popular artist in Washington. yet
rarely has he held his audience to
the extent that he held it yesterday,
when he played in recital at the Ma
tional Theater. Fritz Kreisler has
been quoted widely as proclaimlng
Casals the greatest cellist." Yes
terday's program was presented in
manner that seemed TO substantiate
this broad statement. The opening
number, Suite in Major" by Bach.
for cello alone, was fascinating. The
tempo of the various rhythms and
the remarkable chromatics and har-
monies of the suite were presented
with artistry.
Edouard Gendron. fine young plan
list who accompanies Mr.. Casals. made
his first appearance on the program
In a sonata for cello and piano, writ
ten by J. B. Breval of the eighteenth
century. a work that is seldom heard
here. 1t was a delightful number,
filed with quaint melodies.
Then came the exquisite Con
certo in A Minor" by Saint-Saens.
The two instrumentalists blended
their tones excellently. GranadoS
Spanish Dance No. 8" was the
encore.
In the final group of short selec-
tions Air" by Hure, and Can
zonetta," by Forino, were interest
ing new melodies. Peppers "Danse
Villageoise' and "Tarantelle," both
heard here before on Cssals' pro-
grams. were played with brilliance
and marvellous technique. Faure's
"Apres un Reve" and 'Interme7zo'
by Granados were the final encores.
After the concert Mr.. Casals in
brief talk back stage stated that,
while he was interested in the ultra
modern music, he has found few
compositions of the new school that
he could use for the cello.
Melody is prime requisite for
music written for my instrument,
you know" said Mr.. Casals. The
new music-it has so little melody in
IL that i cannot use II. However, 1
am much interested in it."
