NEW CUBAN PRESIDENT

While the United States was rolling
up a Conservative majority, our Car
ibbean colony" of Cuba was defying
the mother country, as it were, by
replacing President Menocal with the
Liberal Machado. Cuban workers and
liberals united to administer a de-.
cisive defeat to Menocal, long known
as pliable tool in the hands of the
American sugar trust.
The victory of Machado was the
more memorable inasmuch as Memo
cal assumed office in 1913, and had
been president for II years. The
election was conducted with but little
more disorder than accompanies
American elections.

place, is put there to stay forever.
The supply of Navajo rugs is
decreasing noticeably each year.
The popularity of these rugs for
interior decorations, sun rooms
and porches in the homes of the
people of the east, is resulting in
the stocks of traders on the reser-
vations becoming rapidly depleted.
The movement of the younger In
dians to adopt the employment of
white people, with the result that
few weavers are being trained, is
also bringing close the time when
the true Navajo rug will be class
ed with the ancient Persian tapes
tries, priced possessions of the
collector, and thing of wonder.

/ destinations and apply to commun-
ity funds and social agencies for
aid, sickness being the most COM
mon plea.
The usual requests are for mon
ey, gasoline and oil or for repairs
to their automobiles, officials say.
They usually claim that they left
home because of labor conditions
and are going to some distant place
to seek employment, asking aid in
getting to their destinations.
Proposals to aid them by selling
the automobile are always rejected
by the tourists" records of Little
Rock agencies show. Out of a
large number of stranded tourists
who have applied for aid here not
one would consider parting with
the automobile. Tickets to their
homes or to the stated destinations
are also not desired.
Most of the 'f1ivver tourists that
apply for aid are frauds and We do
not propose to give them money or
gasoline so as to pass them on to
some other city," says c. H. Wick
ard, of the Little Rock social SER
vice exchange.
Social service exchange will aid
distressed tourists and will furnish
them food and buy medicines when
there is sickness, but will not en-
courage fraud by purchasing gaso-
line or paying for repairs.

children who are compelled to fol-
low. They have no opportunity for
schooling and their health is in
most instances impaired by unnec-
essary exposure and lack of whole
some food. The compulsory school
law does not affect the 'flivyer
hobo because they are never sta
tionary and are not registered in
any city.
There seems to be no cure for
the evil. When they apply for aid
we must help the children or the
mothers who are i'll or in need of
food. This has been done on many
occasions but in each instance we
have refused to buy gasoline and
oil or to give money. This would
not remedy the situation but would
simply pass the responsibility to
another city"

MARGI HOPKINS

THE Winslow Mail misses Miss
Margi Hopkins. Our subscrip-
ers will miss her, too. Miss Hop
kins has been, since April, the To-
cal and society reporter of this
paper. She has been energetic and
capable in the performance of the
strenuous duties connected with
country newspaper work. Her cap
ability and energy and devotion to
the ideals of journalism have earn
ed for her during the six months
of her service with the Mail, the at
tention of larger papers, and she
has, because of the merit inherent
within her, been called to a field
lof larger opportunity. The Mail
rejoices that in so short time her
worth had attracted notice of a
newspaper so ably edited and care
fully prepared as The Arizona Re-
publican, where she will take her
place as one of the editors.
Miss Hopkins is a true member
of The Fourth Estate. She keeps
the faith. No sacrifice is too great
for the paper. Meal time, bed
time-al1 times had to wait on the
paper. Hours were never too long,
work never piled too high, but
what it was finished for the fourth
coming edition. Journalism is her
work, her hobby and her recrea-
tion. Her talents viii take her afar
in the profession she has adopted.

THE NIGHT OPERATOR

THE night operator isn't the girl
who sits at the telephone switch
board during the early evening
hours after business houses have
shut their doors and the busy
world has closed shop and is ready
for play and neighborliness. The
girl who answers the myriad of
calls made then might be termed
the patron saint of sociability, but
the night OPERATOR
She is the girl who is on duty
when the world, or most of it, is
tired of play and has gone to sleep.
when the theatres have emptied
their gay crowds into the streets
and become darkened, when the
lights are no longer burning in the
various homes throughout the city
or town, when even the corner
drug stores have closed their doors
and served their last customers.
Then it is that the night telephone
operator is on duty, ready for
whatever emergency may occur.
prepared always to serve and 20
give what help she can in times Of
stress or urgent need.
Then it is that telephone traffic
is at its lowest ebb. The calls that
come during the wee small hours
are few, but they are none the
less important. Among the most
common of those that flash on the
night operators board are the calls
for doctors and hospitals. Then,
also, are those for the police, for
crime likes to hide under the cover
or darkness. Fires have a habit of
breaking out at night, and death,
too, often makes it's tragic visit
during those hours Besides, there

phone is even a greater aid and
comfort than it is to the daylight
workers.
Indeed, the night operator expe-
Fiences many a thrill and at times
her part becomes a heroic one.
Often her calm voice and her as
zsurance that she will summon aid
have served to restore confidence
to some terror-stricken individual,
while her resourcefulness and in
Sitiative have led to the saving of
"a great many lives. Truly, the
girl on duty at the switchboard is
as much guardian of the night as
lis the policeman or the fireman.

THE FLIVVER HOBO

THE Weary Willie" unique fig

Autumn
BY D. MAITLAND BUSHBY
(Written for the Winslow Mail)

When summer has tired
Of this old gray earth,
And has lost her love
For the beautiful;
When the leaves
Droop and blush in shame
At her carelessness,
1t is then that Autumn,
Summers older sister,
Comes into her own.
To cherish the earth
And caress it
With her loving touch.
Her messenger
A gentle little breeze,
Sings her greeting
Wherever she goes,
And the earth, hearing,
Decks the trees
In brilliant hues,
To welcome her.

NAVAJO RUG MAKING OLDEST
LIVING CRAFT OF AMERICA

~
as a rule, are subject to chances
during the centuries, in some cases
from generation to generation. The
execution that proves the rule is
the handicraft of the Navajo In
dians in the desert country OF
northern Arizona. There the meth
DDS of many centuries ago are
still employed in the manufacture
of the beautiful Navajo rugs.
Religious customs and the ven
Grafton of the Indians for the le-
gends and habits of their ancestors
preclude any innovations in the
mode of manufacture. Indeed. 1t
would be difficult to conceive any
Improvement, at least any which
could add to beauty, charm or ser
viceability. Moreover, no mechan-
ical loom has ever been devised to
weave a Navajo rug.
The rugs are woven by the
souaws of the tribe. The looms
are primitive affairs, consisting
only of two stout poles stretched
between two of the very infre-
ouent cottonwood trees along the
arroyos, or dry rivers, of the desert.
The wool is sheared from the backs
of the rugged mountain sheep as
needed. White and black are nat
ural colors of the wool; crimson,
brown and orange are secured from
dyes distilled from cactus plants
and roots; yellow is mined from
the ochre deposits of the Painted
Desert. These are the principal
colors used.
Months are consumed in the
making of single rug. The weav-
er has been trained from babyhood
in the craft and lore of her ances-
tors, for skill and an understand
ing of the legends of the tribe con-
tribute to the making of the design.
Every detail is carried in the mind
of the weaver, and is executed as
the work progresses. No altera-
tions or corrections can be made
after the work is started There
is no pattern or blue print to
guide the weaver, who sits patient
ly before her loom adding strand
upon strand to the whole, until
her product symbolically portrays
an idea or thought, with a theme
taken from the legends of the earth,
the nation, the future, the past or
the beginning of time. To one ac-
customed to interpret the symbols
the rug tells complete story. The
colors, in their predominance, con-
tain definite message. The de-
signs are symbolical of natural
phenomena, for instance the jagged
line seen in so many rugs relates
to the lightning and generally is
incorporated in a story of the
often-prayedfor rain.
1t is generally believed that no
two Navajo rugs have ever been
woven exactly alike. This is true,
with the exception that sometimes
weaver will duplicate one of the
sand-paintings of the Navajos.
Within the last few days three rugs
in complicated border, field and fig
ures, exactly like three rugs print
er in colors in the book of George
Wharton James, published twenty
or more years ago. These are
very rare, however, and find their
way very infreQuently into the
hands of traders.
The weaver, usually, like the
author or composer, awaits an in
spiration. Both sides of a Navajo
rug are identical, however, for the
woof extends to both sides. Tho
woof and warp are strands of long
fibre wool, and the strands are bat
tened down hard, one upon an
other, with a heavy flat slab of
