THE JUNIOR CHAMBER
ENDORSES DEPOT PLANS

Junior Chamber of Commerce held
its regular meeting Wednesday eve
ming and transacted considerable
routine business with a good number
of the members present.
The road committee reported that
the road to Lee Ferry had been
properly and correctly signed and is
now in good shape for travel.
Correspondence in regard to the
visit of the congressional committee
investigating the Colorado river basin
was read. This committee will make
Flagstaff one of the important stops
and will drive from here to Lee Fer
ry and return, probably spending one
or two days there looking over the
site of the proposed dam. The cham
ber has already offered its assist
ance in the matter of arrangements
and will look after the needs of the
party when they come.
Report on the clubs drive for
funds to defray expenses the coming
year was made and was very salts
factory, with some contributions yet
to come in. The members OF the
club feel grateful for the ready re-
SDonSe the citizens gave 20 Lhelf eI-
forts to raise money for the purpose
of advertising Flagstaff.

ber
1t was reported that representa-
tives of the Lasky people were now
out in the Indian country making ar.
rangement for the filming of one Of
Zane Grey's stories and that the
company would arrive in the neal
future, and upon the completion Of
the first work, the big job of filming
the "Vanishing American" would bt
started near Lee Ferry.
The revised plans for Flagstaff
proposed new depot were presented
and closely scrutinized by the mem
bers present and it was the universe
opinion that building along these
lines would be much more satisfactor!
than would the first plan presented
and the club went on record as ia
voring the changes and urged earl,
action in the matter Of erecting thu

out of four. Between deals, too, one
has an opportunity to shift ones
cigarette from center to one corner or
the other to relieve the dropping mus
cles of the mouth. Properly parking
a cigarette in the face is a very deli
cate operation.
One can't help but admire one Eng
lish lady whose sole ambition in life
seems to be desire to secure the
proper brand Of cigarette, ascertain
ing the least fatiguing section of her
face in which to fit it, and how best
to fit good clothes over a form as
graceful in lines as sack Of potatoes.
Speaking of the terrors of customs
officers on our return to America with
bales of junk to be examined, she
fervently remarked: THANK God,
England is a free country; we don't
have to bother with customs Off
Gals We suggested the fact that
possibly they would be asked concern
ing tobacco, cigarettes and liquor,
since the British government had a
monopoly on such goods. 20, yes, but
that's Just because the British govern
ment owns the monopoly" That's the
British variety of loyalty. Even her
husband claims that about every in
vention used in America was an Eng
lish invention.
One very, very wise and brilliant
(?) young lady wearing highly re-
spected American name, though a
generation or so removed from those
who made the name noted, said very
patronizingly after leaving Manila,
she hoped "the United States would

SPECIAL MUSIC FEATURE
TUESDAY ROTARY MEET

W. NJ. Cady Jr. was chairman at
Tuesdays Rotary meeting and pro-
duced good program in which there
were some much appreciated musical
numbers and decidedly good talk by
Earl Slipher on Rotary ethics and
the need for ones own good of meas
uring up to them in every way.
Vice President John @. Thomas
called the meeting to order and read
letters from Rotarian Ed Miller, con-
valescing in Pasadena from a recent
operation, and Mrs. Miller, who is
fine and soon will be back here. Mrs.
Miller said Douglas S. Roome, for
merly of Flagstaff, who is in charge
of accountancy at the hospital, had
done a great deal to make things
pleasant for them.
Dr. Mart Fronske reported on the
condition of Rotarian Lee Carron, at
Mercy hospital, and when it was
brought out that though just now he
is still very weak and at times in
much pain, he soon will be able to
receive visitors, there were many ex-
pressions of pleasure.
A special musical number, a trio
with solo part by Miss Selma Aas,
assisted by Austin w. Brown and
Chester F. Deaver, with Mrs. VIM.
Rudd at the piano, was followed after
an interval by a quintette, in which
the soloist was Mrs. G. A.. Pearson,
| the others being Mrs. Tom Bellwood,
Miss Aas, Mr.. Deaver and Mr.. Brown,
Mrs. Rudd again playing the accom-
paniment.
Song Leader Tom Bellwood led the
Rotarians in some peppy singing. Del

servedly made to contribute to the
fine collector.

LITTLE FOLKS GOOD TIME
AT GEORGE MYERS HOME

Last Saturday afternoon was ideal
for the outdoor Easter party given by
the ladies of st. Margaret's Guild for
the children of the Episcopal Sunday
school, in the grounds of the George

of the occasion was the hunt for candy
and colored Easter eggs in the large
shrubby yard. Ice cream cones de-
lighted the happy young folks, Mil
dred and Margaret Matson, Estelle
Brown, Mary Pollock, Charlotte and
Kathryn Stevenson, Betty Lee Waters,

REV. MIR. FREELAND WILL
SUCCEED MIR. HARRIS IN
THE EPISCOPAL PASTORATE

Bishop Atwood announces that Rev.
Freeland, who for couple of years
has been assistant in the Phoenix
cathedral will succeed Mr.. Harris.
His first Sunday here will be May IL,
the Sunday after Mr.. Harris leaves.
Epiphany church is fortunate in Sc
curing Mr. Freeland and also in not
having a break in the services.
Easter services at the Episcopal
church began with the children's
service at 10 o'clock. At II o'clock
there was Easter communion service
and in the afternoon baptismal serv-
ice. In the evening Bishop Atwood
consecrated the church building and
confirmed class of seven presented
by Rev. Harris.
The confirmation class consisted of
Misses Margaret and Mildred Mat
son, Miss Violet Raudebaugh, Mrs.
Will Marian, Mrs. Ida v. Doan and
her son, R. M. Doan, and James john
ston.
A large choir rendered beautiful
music both morning and evening, in
the latter with an Easter cantata.
Rev. George Vernon Harris and
Mrs. Harris went to Phoenix Tuesday
to attend convOcation and will return
in a week.

ASLEEP AT WHEEL, CAR
ROLLS OVER ON SLEEPER

Falling asleep at the wheel of an
automobile is fraught with danger,
declare George Mason, baker at
Charlie Keller's, and Kicky Williams,
his assistant.
They baked all Thursday and FRI
day nights, then early next morning
left Flagstaff for Phoenix with an
automobile truck. George after a
while laid down in the back and went
to sleep Nearing Glendale, Kicky,
at the wheel, dozed off. The truck
took that moment to try to escape.
1t ran too near the edge of con-
crete culvert and turned over on its
back, atop of George. Kicky described
parabolic curve and replowed an
acre or so of plowed field. George
was pretty badly bruised, but had no
bones broken. They returned Monday
by train, both feeling they were very
fortunate in escaping so easily.

Bengal Bay, enroute to- Calcutta,
India, February 20. 1925.
This place is large sloppy affair,
much like the rest of the seas we have
been in. We have really been too far
out from shore to hear the roar of the
native Bengal tiger or to see any of
them swimming around in the water.
Since it will take five days to cross
the bay one will readily realize that it
is a mans sized affair and not in
tended for one-paddle canoe.
There is no good reason for at
tempting to describe the surrounding
scenery since leaving Singapore, for
it is very level and has been repeat
ing itself daily, so not being able to
repress my well known energy and
inherent desire to be doing something,
| am compelled to turn my ego loose
on the ship and its contents.
There was a remarkable outbreak
of nah long among many of our very
best lady passengers after leaving
Singapore, where large tonnage OF
NAH jong sets was taken away from
the Chinese shopkeepers at advanced
prices. Adding this burden to the al
ready fatiguing day in which they are
compelled to eat five times between
bridge games, one can readily see that
many of US are plumb exhausted and
willing to sink into bed at the early
hour eof IL or / a. m. You can
imagine how utterly wearisome it
must be to delicate lady of some 200
stone and a few rocks in tonnage to
lift these heavy nah jong pieces
around after playing bridge in which
one is relieved of dealing three times

FLAGSTAFF RIFLE CLUB
OFF TO A GOOD START;
ED BABBITT PRESIDENT

Flagstaff Rifle club was duly or
ganized Tuesday night at meeting
at the offices of Attorney Frank M.
Gold. The club starts off with a
good-sized paid up membership and
indications are that there will be at
least 40 members by the time papers
are applied for from the war depart
ment.
Ed Babbitt was elected president,
Pete Solberg vice president, Frank
Miller secretary, Bob Cree treasurer
and John Bucher executive officer of
the new club.
The club already has the big target
frames and some of the other equip
ment, plus a small amount of money
left over from the preceding and now
defunct rifle club. Uncle Sam will
furnish additional rifles, ammunition
and targets, free of charge, the club
having been formed under the regu-
lations of the war department.
The range, if permission can be Sc
cured, will be near the clubhouse OF
the Flagstaff Gun club. 1t not, then
there are several other good sites
available.
Shooting will be under regulations
of the war department. Regulation
army Springfield and Springfield .22
calibre rifles will be used. Initiation,
including 1926 dues, is only $5. Ex-
pense is very light because of the
great amount of help accorded by the
government. Registered target prac-
tice will begin within few weeks, as
the officers are familiar with the de-
tails expected and are right on the
Job pushing ahead to get things start
ed as early as possible.

Philippines over to England since they
understood such things and could han
die them so much better" This brill
liant young thing from the east coast
city had probably just heard the
United States had temporary charge
'of the islands and from her one-day
visit made a deep and exhaustive
study of economic conditions there.
Wasn't her loyalty just lovely? There
is a goodly bunch Of real Americans
on board, but some of 'em are wise
like the lady who said: she just felt
she must see Mt. Tai Mahal, the
highest mountain in the world" Of
course she had in mind Mt. Everest, to
be seen on the trip to Darjeeling into
the Himalayas, instead of that perfect
architectural creation at Agra.
Some of them have a similar
knowledge Of the geography of our
home country and of it's affairs, but
they mean all right. 1t usually takes
a monkey wrench or railroad turn
table to change an Englishman's
mind All too much to the contrary,
slight puff of wind will change the
minds of too many Americans. Quot
ing famous line of literature we can
only say: "Their loss is our gain
when they move to England.
You can't help admiring an Eng
lishman or any other national for
sticking up for his country. He
shows loyalty whether he shows much
gray matter or not. But who loves
the ignorant, spineless sucker who
loves all countries but his own. Eth,

THE SUNSHINE MAKERS

The Sunshine Makers of Miss Will
iiamson's class at the Federated
church on Saturday met at the home
of Aurelia Shirley on South Sit
greaves avenue. A short business
meeting was held at which it was de-
cided that box containing books,
toys and rag dolls made by the mem
bers of the class will be sent to DR..
Luke's home for crippled children,
albuquerque. The little girls will ap-
preciate any help along this line. An
Easter egg hunt furnished the sspe-
cial enjoyment of the meeting, after
which light refreshments were served
Those present were Miss Williamson,

with mine of February 23d for the
reason that we have had number of
other projects under way and could
not give the entire time of our archi-
tectural force to the Flagstaff matter.
We have, however, taken into con-
sideration the suggestions and criti
cisms set out in your letter and | am
now handing you herewith another
plan which we have prepared of
different type of building, which /
think will meet the objections in re-
gard to the elevation and | also think
those in regard to the floor space.
Will you please review them and
let me know whether or not you have
further criticism or objection to Of
fer? Yours very truly,
w. X. ETTER
Mr.. Koch is seeing to it that as
many local business men as possible
shall see the plans to decide If they
meet with their approval, then will
write to Mr.. Etter.
Incidentally, The Sun, which many
times in the past has agitated the
need of new depot, shares with the
rest of our people the qualification
over the prospects for the handsome
new structure, which, it is reported,
will be built this summer. We will
all be proud of it when it is done. In
the meantime, having been caustic
over the matter in the past, it is with
distinct pleasure that The Sun ex-
presses the appreciation Of Flagstaff
people to Mr.. Etter for the fair and
friendly attitude he has shown to-
ward Flagstaff, first in agreeing to a
water contract that is in every way
generously fair to us and now in his
evident desire not only to give us a
new depot but to insure that it viii be
one that will please US

EXPECTING TOO MUCH

Small-town hotels have been the
objects of criticism, ridicule and
sneers on the part of their guests
from time immemorial. But prob
ably most of them are furnishing
the best accommodations they can
under the circumstances.
Travellers who are accustomed to
modern conveniences and comforts
in larger hotels probably expect toe
much when they strike village hos
telry.
AS reminder of this fact, one
country town hotel-keeper placed
signs in his rooms, which read as
follows:

BELL-RINGERs EXPOSED

An Illuminating expose of the
methods of house-to-house peddlers
was recently made by the Oklahoma
City Times, which detailed one Of
its best reporters to take employ
ment with a "direct-sellingp house
and afterwards write up his exper-
fences.
The reporter told of the tricks
to which he was taught to resort, in
order to gain the interest of house
wives; how positive rudeness was
encouraged when necessary to get
into the house; how persistence en-
abled statesmen to force women to
make purchases against their will.
He told of the trick of giving
some trifling article as means of
breaking the ice" and securing a
second opportunity to goin admis-
sion to the home. Most important of
all, he showed that in most cases the
articles sold by order-takers could be
bought for less in regular stores.
It was also shown that housewives
are getting tired of the bell-ringers,
