A ANNOUNCEMENT that Flo Ziegfeld
n is going to supervise film recalls
the oft-repeated statement that he ''gori-
flies the American girl"
Mr.. Ziegfed provides excellent enter
tainment; but can't we refrain from max
ing that particular statement about him?
In the first place the American girl
doesn't need clarifying. She is the pref
test, finest, brayest and most intelligent
girl that ever lived, even If you do hear a
lot about her faults every so often.
And then. too, we doubt il the ladies of
the Follies chorus are quite the ones to
glorify her. Unless. of course, your idea
of perfect young womanhood includes
complete sophistication TO the point of
cynicism, and the flashy type of beauty
that is out of place anywhere except UNI
der the brightest kind of lights.

fW tn some respects, out "
certainly tcaS not rich ia the durable
SutiSfGctioHS Of public life. Ambitious
young men may admire him. but can
hardly irish 10 initiate him"
THUS the New York Times, published
i in the worlds money market and
speaking the philosophy of money, sums
up its view of the life of Senator La Fol-
lette.
IL would be interesting to know just
what the New York Times would regard
durable satiSfaetions" in public life. La
Toilette was governor of his ewn state for
three terms, long enough TO make that
state a leader among As commonwealth,
and continued his influence there the re-
mainder of his life, so that this state
leadership was not relinQuished rs other
governors succeeded him.
He was elected and reelected then TO
the United States senate, being in the
midst OF his fourth term when he died
In many respects he was the most influ-
entail member of this powerful legislative
body. II is admitted even by his political
opponents, that he left greater impress
on legislation than any other man of his
time.
These things apparently cannot be list
ed as durable satsfactions of public life,
in the opinion of the New York Times
There is no money in them; at least, there
was none for La Toilette. a governors
salary is not large, nor is senator's.
That may be the Times test.
II so. there remains but one office in
which La Toilette might have found the
durable satisfactions of public life-the
office now held by Calvin Coolidge. II
pays big salary. It's occupant, if pru-
dent and reasonably frugal. may retire
with the means on which to live without
working. Above all it carries the great
honor inherent in the title of the office
This must be what the Times has in
mind. La Toilette never was president.
Harding, Wilson, Taft, Roosevelt, Nc
Kinley, Cleveland, Harrison, all have
served as president. But only two names
in that list will live as long as La Fol-
lette's. And of the two, one died amid
the ruin-temporary. perhaps-of his
hopes; the other died clinging vainly to
the desire that he might fill the office
again. OF these two great presidents.
could either have voiced more sincerely
than La Toilette, 81 am ready?"
1t may be that the New York Times,
voicing the spirit of its kind. does not
understand the durable satisfactions of
public life any better than it understood
La Toilette. As for ambitious young men,
whether or not they care to initiate him.
depends on what their ambition is. If
it is money-no. If it is pride of place
no. If it is to help bring the conditions
of life somewhat nearer their ideal of
what life could be, the answer of La Fol-
iette's very, very successful life is-yes

Methodist Sunday School
Board Meets Tuesday

An inspiring meeting of the
Methodist Sunday school board was
held Tuesday evening in the
church parlors, at which ways and
means of increasing the efficiency
of the Sunday school were dis
cussed and new plans laid to be
put into effect in the immediate
future. One decidedly forward
movement was the adoption of the
graded course of study for all
pupils up to the adult classes. In
the past graded courses have been
offered only in the lower grades.
The new order will go into effect
the first of October.
Superintendent L. l.. Day gave
an interesting talk on the Sunday
school program and the work in
general which led to spirited
discussion in which all present
participated.
Mrs. l.. l.. Day was elected super
intendent of the home department
and Mrs. F. r. Speck was elected

hike of the Grand Canyon council

boy. is given the trip, including all
expenses, for $25 They will visit
many different Scout camps along

time taking in different places of
interest The trip will last two
weeks.
The first of the gypsy trips was
taken last year. Included in the
entertainment which the Scouts re-
ceived on this trip was dinner at

NORTH ROUTE IS
STILL FAVORITE
WITH TOURISTS

The Arizona highway depart
ment counts the traffic on the vari-
Gus highways leading out of
Phoenix once month, covering
twelve-hour periods. The June
count, taken twenty-one miles east
of Phoenix, showed 397 Arizona
licensed cars and S4 cars carrying
license plates from other states.
The count at Ashfork on the Ma
tional Old Trails route showed
twenty-five Arizona cars and $50
from other states. The count at
Williams, also on the National Old
Trails highway, showed seventy
four Arizona cars and 169 from
other states. This proves that the
National Old Trails route still re-
tains its popularity with the Pa
cific coast bound tourists. Doubt
less this is helped by the desire to
visit the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado river.
AS a means of interesting the
transcontinental automobile tour

Club of Arizona is contemplating
an advertising campaign to reach

with much experience in Out-of-
door photography, is preparing an
outfit to tour the state and secure
views of the wonderful scenery
