the water was at the surface. The
Indians said that the human sacrifices
had been discontinued many years
ago and stone idols had been placed
in the well instead. These are now
buried under many feet Of mud and
rock. AS today the we'll is used fol
domestic purposes by the Papagoes
no excavating was done. Offerings of
flowers and grains are now made at
the well.
On a nearby hill there is a large
cave at which the Indians also pray
and offerings of bows and arrows,
deer horns. and prayer sticks were
found here. This cave is well guard
ed and is a sacred place of the Papa
goes. 1t was. with great difficulty
that a few prayer sticks were secured
and these are now on display at the

old Sonora Veil Reputed to Hold Bod

A number of years ago when DR..
f. W. Fewkes of the bureau of
American ethnology was living among
the Hopi Indians he heard a legend
which stated that at a we'll in north
ern Sonora some of the Hopi clans
used to practice human sacrifices by
throwing their victims into the we'll
1t is also reported that the Pimas and
the Yumas also used to do this at the
same place.
DR.. Fewkes suggested to Karl Rup-
pert, of the state museum, thcst he
investigate and verify this legend, so
he and Robert Heineman, university
student, went into northern Sonora
over Christmas to do this.
Headquarters were made at the La
Osa ranch With the aid of John
Wetherill of La Osa, passage through
the Mexican customs was greatly ia

HIGHWAY SAFETY COMMITTEE
MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
REDUCING ALL ACCIDENT PERILS

Many vehicles of safe design and
construction are being operated in an
unsafe condition, due to lack OF
care on the part Of the owners a
condition which can be corrected
"only by directing the attention to his
responsibility toward himself and
other users of the highway" says the
committee on motor vehicles Of the
national conference on street and high
way safety, reporting to Secretary of
Commerce Hoover. There is, the COM
n1ttee believes, room for improvement
in design and construction which will
I further reduce accidents due to me-
chanical causes.
/ The committees recommendations
deal with controls, brakes, steering
/ gear, driver vision, lights, signals,
bumpers and legislation. Among the
more outstanding are:
The committee recognizes and
wishes to emphasize the Importance in
the interest of safety of uniformity in
legislation in the various states with
regard to design, construction, opera
tlon and maintenance of motor We
hlcles. Such legislation should deal
only with the system of regulation,
leaving to the regulating authorities
proper discretion as to specific details.
| Motor vehicles should be SO design
| ed as to permit braking with the en-
| glne on severe grades without injury
to any part of the mechanical parts.
| Service brakes should be so con-
structed as to permit simple and safe
adjustments by the operator through
out the life of the wearing parts.
Ratchets of hand brakes should be
designed for greater durability and
certainty of operation. Design and
construction should prevent unintend-
| ed fabrication from reaching braking
surfaces.
Pending the adoption by constituted
authorities of code for standard
braking ability, all motor vehicles, ex-
cept possibly motorcycles and heavy
trucks, should be capable Of stopping
from speed Of 20 miles per hour on
a dry hard surfaced road by
means of the service brake alone in
distance of not more than so feet.
Emergency brakes should be capable
of the same performance, but as an
absolute minimum requirement they
should be capable of holding the We
hicle on any grade which it can as
cend
The engine accelerator pedal should
be located sufficiently far from the
brake pedal to minimize the danger of
applying the aceelerator when intend
ing to actuate the foot brake. The
brake pedal should be so constructed
as to minimize the drivers foot slip
ping from it. In vehicles in which ac-
celerator and brake pedals are intend
ed to be operated by the same foot,
the movement of the foot from ac-
celerator to brake pedal should be as
easy and direct as possible.
Design of bodies and cabs should
be carried out with due regard to the
necessity of reducing to the minimum
the shut-off area of driver vision. Use

HALSTEAD LUMBER BUYS
THE G. C. HALL COMPANY

One of the biggest commercial
transactions recorded in northern Ari-
zona in recent years, was the purchase
this week of the Hall Lumber COM
pany's Arizona yards by the Halstead
Lumber company Of Arizona and Cali
fornia.
The Halstead company will. take
over the Winslow, Flagstaff and Will
Jams yards of the Hall company and
the former will transfer its business

Der Of yards, which field they entered
i little less than a year ago, after
having operated in Arizona for six
years.
With the purchase of the three
northern Arizona yards by the Hal
stead company, it will have under it's
ownership 30 retail lumber yards, 81
Of which-are located in this state.

of all posters or other distractions to
vision on the front windows or wind
shield should be avoided.
Some device for cleaning the wind
shield from rain and snow, that~can
be conveniently operated by the driver
should be available for use when
wlndshields cannot be kept open or a
clear vision secured by other means
Present lighting regulations should
be more rigidly enforced as a neces-
sary beginning in arriving at any i'm
proved night driving condition on the
highways. Study Of proper road il
Elimination should be given immediate
further consideration to determine
whether it may not be possible to i'm
prove the regulations now in force.
Clear red should be used for tail
lights and the rear aspect of parking
lights, and its use should be prohib-
tied for any other exterior light so
located as to possibly be mistaken for
tail light or parking light. Clear
yellow should be used for stop lights,
and a maximum permissible intensity
for such stop lights should be estab-
hshed. The use of colored lights tend
ing in any way to confuse the mean
ing of the customary safety lights
should be prohibited. The location of
spot lights should be limited to the
right of the vertical center line of the
vehicle
Vehicles so designed as to prevent
the driver making proper hand driv-
ing signals should be equipped with
some simple form of mechanical sig
nal to give the necessary indications.
When bumpers are used the height
of the center line above the road
should be standardized SO far as con-
ditions will permit.
The overall width Of body and load
of any motor vehicle should be limited
to 96 inches.
Loading beyond rated capacity of
any vehicle should be prohibited.
In the interest not only of safety.
but of economy of operation, adequate
and periodic inspection, adjustment
and repair of motor vehicles is abso-
lutely essential
Further studies are recommended
by the committee of some subjects.
such as bumpers as safety device.
mirror design and location for rear
view, anti-theft locks, and speed gov
ernors. AS to the latter, the commit
tee states that types in use today con-
troll engine speed, but "do not con-
troll the vehicle speed on down
grades" and the committee prefers
"a type of governor controlling the
vehicle under all conditions if such
device is practically possible"
Retardation of speed through use
of the braking ability of the engine
on excessively long or steep grades is
possible in most vehicles today, and it
provides almost unlimited control if
properly designed, the committee says.
With such braking power 3it would
not be economical or desirable to pro-
vide for the occasional conditions" In
braking with the engine, it is advised
that the throttle be closed tightly and
the ignition continued.

THE STORM
Believers In Approximations Not Sur
 prised by Winterlike Weather

Saturdays storm was no surprise to those who believe in weather prog nostieatious. People who think that weather can be foretoid are prepared for a hard winter and little if any summer in 1926, for this is what We are told to expect from those who claim to read the signs.
 Saturday was q typical forerunner for the hardest kind of winter and was a record breaker. The thermo- meter was below freezing point, there was furry of snow and gale that blew from seventy to eighty miles an hour for most of the day.
 Considerable damage was done by the high wind. The telephone and electric light companies were as usual the greatest sufferers. At one time it is said 800 telephones were out of commission but the trouble gang was out early and repairs were made as soon as 1t was humanly possible to make them.
 Near the Pomfret station corner a tree blew down carrying with it both electric light and telephone wires \ heavy bough from another tree added to the damage. The electric light also had men out at once to remedy the interference with service.

SEVERE PENALTY FOR
 TAKING ROADSIDE FRJTT

People in the rural sections justly complain that people in automobile, touring the country stop and take fruit bordering the roadside and even invade orchards. Not only fruit ba, nuts and vegetables are stolen. al. though many who take the farm pro ducts would be astounded 10 learn that they were stealing and that a heavy penalty had been incurred.
 The statute provides that to use a vehicle, or to allow a vehicle to be used. for the larceny of any vegetables. fruit or agricultural products is punishable Wlth imprisonment for not more than tnree years, or fine of not more than $500, or both.
 While in all probability the maxi mum penalty would never be imposed on an automobile party thoughtlessly stopping beside the road and helping themselves 10 few apples or grapes. nevertheless the severity of the penalty attached to the law denotes how seri- ouslE the legislature looked upon this sort of unlawful taking of property.
 Something not generally known to the layman Is. that in the eyes Of the law, all fruit growing along the road side, whether between the roadway and the wall, fence, or other dividing line. and the abutter's premises, or whether

BACK TO OLD N. E.
Family Return In Spite of Hard Win.
 ter Predictions

l. seems Go be the popular thing nowadays for many people from New England to migrate south. but Florida has been deprived of one family of invaders. that of Mr. and Mrs Benja- min Green, son Leslie. and Mir. and Mrs. Fred Green and son Fred, Jr. They started out last week with the firm resolution of evading the winter storms of the north, but due to the fact that one of the party, Fred Green, according to other members, suddenly decided that he preferred Putnam to any of the cities in the sunny South, the group reached Balti- more and from there returned home. What may have helped to discourage this member of the family was the storm which greeted them when they started Co pitch their tent outside of Baltimore. The wind and rain was so forceful they were obliged to seek shelter inside the truck in which they were travelling. for the night. Per haps the sight of the storm made him fearful of missing such old fashioned winters as We are favored with in Put nam, and as the weather man predicts for the coming winter.
