CHURCH SEES BREAK
DOWN OF DRY LAW

Washington, d. C.-Unless the
present renewed effort to enforce the
prohibition law is successful-and 1t
faces numerous obstacles-the federal
government will be powerless to cope
with the situation, the law probably
will be nullified and perhaps modified
by congress.
This. conclusion is reached in the
fifth report of the research depart
ment of the federated council of
churches, the most pessimistic as re-
CARDS enforcement yet issued which
remarks that prohibition is ''on SER
ious trial"
1t also charges Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon with laxity in en-
forcing the law, blames the internal
revenue bureau for failure to take en-
forcement seriously and says the pro-
hibition unit, headed by Rev. A.
Haynes, has undoubtedly given the
impression of a propaganda bureau
and this impression has cost it some
thing in respect and cooperation"
It is hopeful of the centralization
effected under Lincoln c. Andrews
new dry czar, and leaves the inference
that its success will largely spell sue
cess in enforcing the law finally.

BRONCHO BEANS INSIDE
STORY IS ONE OF INTEREST

This is the "inside" story of the
celebrated Mexican jumping bean, or
"Broncho" bean, as it is known In the
southwest, according to the National
Geographic society.
The Mexican jumping bean is the
seed of any of the three or four mem
bers of a family of swamp trees, listed
officially under the ponderous title of
euphorbiaceous plants, when infested
by a full grown larva of the small
gray tortricid moth.
When the plant is in blossom the
moth lays an egg in one part of the
flower That part of the flower grows
with the rest, but instead of becoming
a pod for the seed Nof the tree, it
turns into a home for the insect. The
egg soon hatches into worm which
occupies only about fifth of the nod
or shell. When the seed pods drop
during the summer the husk splits
into three parts-two containing seed
The third is what is known as the
jumping bean.
The latter is triangular brown
pod about the size of a peanut kernel
with two plain surfaces and one
curved surface. AS soon as the poo
falls from the tree the worm or larvs
inside coils up, then lets itself go sud
denly, like a catapult, giving a for
ward motion to the pod. Sometimes
/ it rolls from side to side and some
times moves fairly consistently in one
direction.

REWARD OFFERED FOR AR
REST OF NAIL SPREADERS

Belief that nails were scattered
along the Phoenix Yuma highway with
malicious intent, has lead the Arizona
Automobile club, after a thoroughfare
investigation, to offer reward of $50
for the arrest and conviction Of the
perpetrators of this outrage"
Following receipts of numerous
complaints of tire trouble on the high
way, Wilbur Treadwell, manager of
the automobile club, instituted a per-
sonal investigation into the causes.
While his investigation was under
way, one car owner reported picking
nine nails from his tires on stopping
to repair a supposed blowout, it was
announced.
Manager Treadwell's conclusions,
based upon his investigation, were
that the nails had been scattered
along the highway with malicious in
tent to damage the property of auto
lists using the road"
AS a result, the club offer of $50
reward for the arrest and conviction
of the vandals was made.

GRAND CANYON P.-T. A.
PLANNING BANNER YEAR

The Grand Canyon Parent Teacher
association has one of the most active
programs planned for this year since
its organization. 1t is not believed
that any organization could have ac-
compiished more per capita than did
this during the year just ended under
the direction of Mrs. Nelson, past
years president-but the community
has grown considerably during the
past IL months so that using last
years standard as guide, or even a
lower standard, this years activities
should come to a larger total.
At any rate Mrs. S. G. Stephens,
present president, has not been lax in
working out the plans. At the first
regular meeting of this school year,
the reports of the standing commit
tees indicated that the work is well
under way. The next big event will
/ be the bazaar on October 16 in the
community house.
i Americanization work will be con-
tinued this fall and this branch of the
organization also promises big year.
The Spanish branch is 100 per cent
alive.
Plans are being formulated to give
at least one educational film per
week for the children. This will be
handled through the child welfare
committee.
After the regular business meeting
Friday night a very excellent pro-
gram was rendered. Mrs. G. G. Bolton
gave an interesting paper on '"The
Childs Friendships" Mrs. F. G.
Spencer read excerpts from the state
presidents letter to the presidents.
The evening was then given over to
community singing after which de-
Ilightful eats were disposed Of The
next meeting will be October 8.

MARKED IMPROVEMENT
In ARIZONA CROPS

According to a report released
September Q, the condition of Ari-
zonas oat crop on the first OF the
month was 81 per cent of normal A
condition of 81 per cent on September
l forecasts total production of $685.
200 bushels for the crop of the season.
Last year the condition was reported
at So per cent of normal on Septem-
Der / on December l it was estimated
that the total production of oats
would amount to 100000 bushels for
the entire season. The abundance of
summer rain in northern Arizona this
year has brought up the condition
figure for the oat crop OF this season.
Ranges show a marked improve
ment following good rains during July
and August, and prospects for fall
and winter feed in Arizona are good.
The condition Of ranges is reported
at 90 per cent for September 1, n last
month, and SO one year ago.
Cattle are in very good condition
and many of the grass cattle moving
to market will be in very good flesh.
Due to good feed, the cattle movement
from some sections will be a little
early, while in other places, with good
feed, there will be a tendency to hold
as long as possible with the idea Of
getting better prices. The condition
of cattle is reported at 90 per cent Of
normal compared with n last month
and SO year ago. .
Sheep have summered well and will
move from the summer ranges in fine
shape. Lambs are generally in good
condition. The condition of sheep and
lambs is 90 per cent of normal, the
same as last month compared with so
per cent last year.

GRASSHOPPERS STOP S. P.
TRAIN NEAR CLIFTON

Phoenix.-A Phoenix attorney who
has just returned from Clifton is au-
thority for the statement that trains
on the Clifton branch of the Southern
Pacific have been held up by a plague
of grasshoppers. For several miles
on a grade, the rails were creased
by the bodies of countless insects
crushed beneath the wheels.
Occasional stops had to be made
while the trainmen cleaned the tracks
and the wheels of the locomotive. The
trouble was known for several days

EGG COOKED ON ICE
BY WIRELESS WAVES

New York.-Cooking an egg over a
cake of ice by wireless was one of the
radio stunts accomplished at the radio
worlds fair.
The egg was placed on a frying pan
on the ice. The pan quickly became
red hot from waves that penetrated
through the ice.
The trick was done through the so
called wireless lamp, the inventor of
which also lit the bulb through a
mans head.
The Coconino sun., 1925-09-25

Miss Tate was able to crawl out and
alone raised the car enough for her
mother to get out The ladies had a
jar of cherry syrup in the back of the
car which was broken and Miss Tate
was literally covered with this syrup.
Passing motorists, seeing her covered
with the red liquid thought it was
blood and the story went out that the
ladies were seriously injured.
