YOUNG FLAGSTAFF BOY
WINS THIRD LEGION PRIZE

Edward r. Wahl of Phoenix, a stu
dent in the Phoenix Union high school
has been declared the winner of the
American Legion essay contest in Ari-
zona and his essay will be submitted
in the national contest, it was an
nounced yesterday in the office of c.
o. Case, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction.
The second place went to Elsie
Shupp of Skull valley, junior high
school student, while the third award
was made to Polito Gurule Of Flag
staff, 12-year-old Mexican boy, who
is in the seventh grade.
The judges of the contest were H.
T. Brooks of Yavapai county, member
of the lower house in the seventh
legislature from that county, and Neri
Osborn Jr., state adjutant of the
Legion. Justice Henry D. Ross of the
supreme court was to have served as
a judge but was out of town.
The three winning essays will be
forwarded to the national headquar-
ters of the Legion in indianapolis to
be entered in the contest for the best
three essays from the United States.
The three winning essays were chosen
from the best essay in each county se-
lected by the county school superin-
tendent. Several hundred school chill
dren in Arizona competed in the con-
test.
The essays we're on the following
subject, a subject selected by the ma
tional headquarters: "Why Has the
American Legion, an Organization of
Veterans of the World war. pledged
itself, first of all, to uphold and de-
fend the constitution of the United
States of America ?"
The committee announced in making
its selection Of the winning state es-
says, that it was greatly impressed
with the essay written by Polio Gu
rule because Of the fact that it was
written in language the native
language of the boy, and also from
the fact that the essay indicates the
value of Americanism work among the
alien residents of Arizona.
The winners of the contest in Ari-
zona will not be awarded prize.

WHAT OUR CUB
REPORTER WANTS
TO KNOW?

The Inquiring Reporter: Every week
he asks some leading question. This
week: "What one thing does Flag
staff need to make its progress most
rapid?"
Loren Cress, the mayor That's
easy, can answer it in one word, that
word is hotel. Next to the hotel,
would say the completion of the
Frisco boulevard"
Jim Tillman, White garage More
advertising all over the country of
the many natural attractions we have
here"
! Ed Babbitt, Ford agent-"A new
hotel first, but one of the greatest
possibilities here would be the de-
velopment of fish hatchery in Oak
Greek rather than boulevard through
it. Real sportsmen would be willing
to pack in-on a mule for real trout
fishing. A boulevard through Oak
Creek would make the stream impos-
sible for trout fishing, as the many
campers would pollute the stream; the
canyon and stream is too small to ac-
eommodate them"
Frank Gold, lawyer-"W water and
adequate housing facilities | think
come first. A new hotel is all right.
but it caters only to a certain class of
people. The housing proposition is
not fer just short time in the sum-
mer, people live in close quarters here
during the summer months, many
houses having two or three families in
them. Last winter it was very hard
to rent house in Flagstaff"
Frank Harrison, lawyer-"We need
to attract tourists. They are our
main asset. To do this north and
south road through here is important.
A bridge at Lees ferry and a good
road on south of Flagstaff. We want
to impress people with our play
ground features, summer climate and
natural attractions. OF course hotels,
camps and the completion of
the Frisco boulevard must follow"

TO SETTLE OLD TRAILS
ROUTE PERMANENTLY Y

w. C.. Lefebyre, state engineer, de-
parted last week for Washington
where he is to represent Arizona at
an important road conference con-
vening August 3, at which most of the
state engineers will confer with fed
eral highway officials.
While many subjects of major inn
portance are to come before the meet
ing, it will have special significance
for Arizona, as Mr.. Lefebvre will at
tempt to reach an agreement on the
routing of the Old Trails highway in
Arizona and New Mexico.
New Mexico, it was explained, fa-
yors the routing of that road from
Holbrook via Gallup to Albuquerque,
while Arizona is committed to the
Holbrook- -Springerville-S rout-
ing, which hes south of the line fa-
vored by New Mexico.
Mr.. Lefebvre will urge the Spring
erville routing of the road, he de-
clared, on the contention that Socorro
is the converging point of roads both
from the northeast and the southeast.
From Socorro, the motorist has a di-
rect route both to El Paso and then
through Albuquerque to the middle
west and east. 1t also will be urged
that the proposed southern routing
does not materially increase the dis
tance between Holbrook and Albu-
querque.
Enroute to and from Washington,
Mr.. Lefebvre will visit various points
in northern Arizona for inspections of
work now in progress, and also will
stop in several of the larger cities to
confer with road builders. He expects
to return about August Is.

HOPIS HAVE TO HAVE
FAVOR OF THE GODS

''The Hopi are solely an agricultural
people, their very existence depends
on the plants of the earth. Every
spot on the desert where moisture lin
gers long enough to mature a crop
of corn or beans or melons is culti-
waited and protected from seed time to
harvest against the deserts ever
shifting sands-an eternal battle with
nature, never ceasing prayer for
rain.
"Such conditions naturally shape
the religious beliefs of a primitive
people, causing them to defy the ele-
ments. So the Hopi have their gods
of wind and rain; of thunder and
lightning; of sunshine and storm; of
famine and plenty.
"In their ceremonials the mythical
deities are represented by masked
dancers, called Katcinas. The symbol
each deity is painted on
the masks and the dancers are thereby
supposed to be transformed into the
deities themselves, who act as inter-
cesSors between the people and their
still higher gods.
During the month of December the
Hopi people in Hopiland have a nine
dayceremonial supplication to the sun
god to pause in his southern flight
and return to the pueblos. Many
bahos or prayer sticks are consecrated
in the ceremony, after which they are
put in corrals that their stock may in
crease, tied to fruit trees to produce
bountiful crops, and placed in springs
to insure an abundance Of water"
The above was handed to The Sun
by George Lewis of Tuba City, who is
managing the big Hopi Indian show
to be given at the Orpheum next
Tuesday night for the benefit Of the
Hopi Indian band.
