The Clear Creek
Swimming Pool
By JACK O'BRIEN.
(Written for The Mail.

In Arizona's land of scenic won
ders
There's none more charming, yet
so little known,
AS Clear Creek-little lake of
sparkling waters,
The Meteor City's lovely swim
ming pool.
A little ribbon road leads south
from Winslow
To a pretty rockrimmed lake, a
desert jewel.
Of prices value to our native peo-
pie,
Those charming waters crystal
clear and cool.
Mother Nature here with fine pre-
cision
Arranged it so that all can see
her plan
And brought from far-off distant
mountains
Sweet smiling brook to charm
the soul of man.
Big hearted folks of Winslow, Me-
teor City,
Smiling, singing Clear Greek
calls anew,
To help to build, to patronize her
beauty,
And priceless joy she'll always
give to you.

HAYDEN TALKS TO
KINGMAN PEOPLE
ON FEDERAL AID

Congressman Carl Hayden spoke
before the Rotary club at Kingman
recently on the subject of federal
aid for various types of highways,
and the methods of distribution of
funds to states. He said, in part:
THE improvements which have
so far been made on the roads of
our state since the federal aid act
was passed ten years ago, are an
indication of what is to come. At
the time this act was before con-
gress there were two schools of
thought, one that the full amount
be expended on transcontinental
routes only, and the other that it
be apportioned to the various states
according to their area, mileage of
post roads and their population.
The latter plan won and So. Ari-
zona, with its large area which is
one of the factors in the apportion-
ment, receives $1,056,000 this year
Of the $75,000,000. Originally this
amount had to be matched dollar
for dollar by the states, but later
the vast public domain, which is
untaxed, was taken into considera-
tion, cutting it to a 60-40 basis, and
then last year congress passed an
act taking the Indian lands within
the state, also tax free, into con-
sideration, so that now Arizona
matches federal aid with % per
cent to 72 per cent of the gov
ernment'S money.
Another form of federal aid is
through the forestry service. OF
the $7,500,00O in this budget, Ari-
zona receives 100000, a part of
which is expended within the for
est itself and another part on ap-
proaches to it.
Another form of federal aid is
through the appropriation made
by congress for roads within and
approaching national parks. Sew
en- and a half millions was appro-
priated for this in the last congress
, to be spent over period of three
years and Arizona's share of this
appropriation is $800,000, which
will be expended at the Grand
canyon.
Contrary to the opinion of some,
this securing of national funds, of
which Arizona has a good share,
considering the number of her
people and taxes paid to the gov
ernment, is not an attempt to as
sumo pork barrel methods, but is
fair apportionment For instance,
Coconino county was cited with
only 7 IL per cent of it's terri
tory taxable, the rest belonging to
the nation at large Then, too,
there are 100000 automobiles in
the United States and the cars
coming to this state are as much
benefited by our roads as the peo-
pie locally"

BOBBING
By MARGI HOPKINS.

ITO BOB or not to bob used to be
the question, but now it is only
how to bob.
In spite of rumors that women
are going to let their hair grow,
the beauty shops in every corner
of the United States continue to
bob promiscuously, and according
to the National Cosmetic society
bobbed hair will be as popular this
year as it has ever been. More and
more women are having their long
tresses clipped, while those who
start to let their hair grow find the
process so annoying that sooner or
later they resort to the barber
shop again. Bobbed hair isn't a
fad; it is a convenience, and prom
ises to stay.
For evening dress, however,
there seems to be a call for the
done up" head dress, and milady
is having her hair, which has been
put away in drawer all this
time, made into fascinating trans
formations. Combs are fastened
to the switches and puffs that
would hold tight in even a mans
hair, making it no longer neces-
sary for a woman to let her hair
grow in order to have fascinating
swirls and biscuits and puffs.
The fannette rosette, which is
being introduced in eastern circles,
is series of braided rolls that
twine around the back of the head
and end in. a braided biscuit over
each ear The aviator swirl, also
said to be very popular, is accom-
plished by using two long switches
that are fastened together with
elastic The elastic is placed at
the back of the head and the two
switches pulled over the ears and
wrapped around the head. High
headdress is accomplished by diff
ferent forms of the fannette, the
fannette being a switch in the
shape of fam The base of the
fan is fastened in the hair at the
back of the neck by comb that is
woven into the switch The hair
of the fannette is then drawn up
ward and done in puffs or rolls
just as if the hair were fastened
to the head. By using these de-
vices, milady can have the dignity
or whatever other charm long
hair may give her and still enjoy
the comforts of the bob.
AS to the woman who engages in
business occupations or sports, the
bob ranks almost with the necessi-
ties of life, and in order that she
will not tire of the short hair Golf
fure BARRIERS are constantly intro
ducing new cuts, while beauty ex-
perts are continually developing
new curls.
There is a bob for every" face"
the beauty experts say, and as if
to try out the correctness of that
slogan, it seems that every face"
will put it to the test.

VAST GHOSTS OR
PLAIN K. K. ks
ASK THE OLD MAN

Jack O'Brien tells this one about
one of the hot nights at Needles not
long ago.
1t was about midnight, and sud
denly from one of the rooms of the
hotel at which he was stopping,
there came terrifying scream,
which was followed by another
more terrifying, and still another.
Then the screaming ceased, but
was succeeded by a series of
weird means and low sobs
Now, Mr.. O'Brien says, in Needles
that night the inmates of the hotel
were sleeping just about as nature
made them, and even then it was
plenty warm enough.
Nevertheless in moments sine
after the screaming started the
door of every room opened and
as many as twenty men ran out
into the hall wrapping sheets
around them as they went, with
Mr.. O'Brien and his sheet included
in the procession.
''All we lacked were the pillow
cases." Mr.. O'Brien said, "and the
Ku Kluxers wouldn't have been in
it,"
One after another they tried to
open the door whence came the
low means and walls. The door
was locked and their manipulations
were in vain. Then one Of the
sheet-clad members was detailed
to go outside and break in through
the window He did so and then
opened the door for all to enter
One by one they filed into the
room and surrounded the bed,
with the sheets wrapped closely
around them There before them
lay an old man who was saying:
"Oh, my daughter! oh, my daugh
teri" while he writhed and moaned
as if in great pain.
why, the poor old fellow has a
nightmare" one fellow said from
beneath his sheet to all the other
sheets around him. Another re-
cruit stepped forward and tapped
the old gentleman on the forehead.
The old man slowly opened his
eyes and reached out his arms:
ooh, my dau-!"
Then he suddenly blinked. And
the whole congregation of sheets
had to jump on him at once to
keep from landing outside the win
dow in one leap.
AS soon as explanations could be
made the old man was left alone.
AS might be expected. no more
wailing was heard from the room
that night The poor old fellow
probably didn't get far enough
asleep again to have even a symp-
tom of a nightmare
But take Mr.. O'Brien's word for
it, it was a fine parade.

SCIENTIFIC HIGHWAY
CONSTRUCTION.

THERE is tendency to pay more
attention to scientific highway
construction. The initial survey
ing work to secure the best loca-
tion for a road must be backed up
by sound engineering principles
applied to the construction of the
hard surface itself
With states, cities and counties
spending hundreds of millions of
dollars on permanent paving, the
taxpayers are learning that they
can not afford cheap and imperfect
construction. They find that it is
always at their expense that So
called cheap construction by incom-
petent and inexperienced contrac-
tors is carried on.
All over the country, state high
ways, market roads and city streets
that were not built by competent
engineers are breaking up under
heavy traffic and in a few years
have to be rebuilt. Permanent
highways can only be built with a
proper equipment and after the
Subgrade has been allowed time
enough to settle. The contractor
should have a good, long record of
experience and a reputation at
stake. The type of pavement laid
should have a time-tested service
record at low maintenance cost.

The Fangs Of the
Gila Monster
CONTRIBUTED
Editor Winslow Mail:

Editor Winslow Mail:
Your readers will recall two re-
cent articles in The Winslow Mail
on the fangs of the Gila monster.
The editorial writer for the Ari-
Eona Republican claimed this rep
tile had no fangs, and the editorial
writer for the Ell Paso Herald, fol-
lowing in his tracks, repeated the
declaration. Both these gentlemen
claimed this reptile has small,
Saw-like> teeth.
Now comes another nature faker
who goes them one better, giving
the inference that it has nothing
at all on the lower jaw This in
formation is from a quotation in
the Coconino Sun of July "a, 1925,
which follows:
''The saliva from the upper jaw
of the Gila monster is not poison
Gus, but that from the lower jaw
will kill a rabbit in two minutes.
Little injury to man has resulted
because of the difficulty the mon
ster has in penetrating the skin
with its lower jaw. (From daily
bulletin of the United States forest
service)"
l wish to state that the author
of this statement should be cor
rected. The fangs of the lower jaw
of the Gila monster are extremely
sharp and penetrate to the bones
-
When I was bitten on the nose
by Gila monster on the 3rd of last
July the fangs did not quite pene-
trate to the bone for the simple
reason that I have no bone in the
end of my nose.

WRITING.

THE WINsLoW MAIL enjoys
contributions from great num-
Der of writer's. Rarely is an issue
printed that does not contain half
a dozen or more articles printed
under the name of some local con-
tributor.
Most of these are printed be-
cause they are we'll worth reading,
and because they are the result Of
considerable thinking on the sub
ject by some one not member Of
The Mail staff Many of these con-
tributions are poems, the most diff
ficult method of expression. Many
of them deserve equal rank with
the best compositions appearing in
current magazines of higher litera-
ture
In this issue, on page /, are two
short sketches, one in prose, writ
ten by Miss Margi Hopkins, Of The
Mail, and the other a free-verse
poem, by Stephen L. Horton, who
has contributed many poems Of
great worth to this paper.
Professional writer's, especially
news writer's, whose style is some
times cramped by the limiting die
tates of journalism, often like to
take little dissipating flyer into
the realm of imaginary writing.
Yielding to that mood; Miss Hop
kins wrote the fanciful sketch en-
titled "My Favorite ROOM not
with the intention of having it pub
lished, but to enjoy a brief spell
OF mental stretching.
While yet in manuscript form it
was shown to and read by Mr.
Horton, who sometimes enjoys
himself by spending his leisure
from herding box cars for the
Santa Fe, in the editorial sane
tum of this great family journal.
Sweeping a litter of exchanges
and plate base from the editorial
desk, he made room for himself,
and in few moments had written
''Nuptials of the Night" his in
spiration coming from Miss Hop
kins' ''My Favorite Room"
Handing his manuscript to Miss
Hopkins, Mr. Horton said: Say,
read this You had your child all
dressed up, but I've put him in
overalls."
A second, even a third or fourth,
reading of these two sketches is
suggested. A comparison for sim
plicity and elegance of language,
and the vividness of figures of
speech,e with current prose and
poetry one can find in the deckle-
edge, highbrow publications, will
prove interesting.
To have been in the position of
midwife at the birth rites of these
literary twins is a thing of which
The Winslow Mail will be forever
proud.
