Gas Explosion Monday
Severely Burns Hickey


James Hickey, of the Winslow
Hotel, was severely burned about
the head and face last Monday, by
an explosion Of gas, which had es-
capped from a leaky connection.
Mr.. Hickey was doing some re-
pair work in the room and found
it necessary to do some work near
the ceiling. 1t appears that the
leak in the gas pipe had been there
for some time and that the escap-
ing gas had collected in the upper
part of the room near the ceiling.
While at work Mr.. Hickey had
occasion to light his pipe. I'M
mediately upon the striking OF the
match the explosion took place.
The explosion was severe enough
to shake the building considerable
and the force of it threw him into
the next room about ten feet away,
The partition on which Mr.. Hick-
ey was working was blown down
by the impact of the explosion.
While Mr.. Hickey's burns are
quite severe, he feels that he was
fortunate in discovering the condi-
tion before more serious accident
could happen

ROTARY PROGRAM
FILLED BY SCOUTS
SIX GETS BADGES

Wednesdays Rotary luAcheon
was enlivened by "whoop 'em up"
Scout program.
Claud Quebedeaux was the chair
man, and the program was plan
ned in connection with National
Boy Scout week as a part of the
celebration of the founding Of the
Scout movement.
Glib Hunter, local Scoutmaster,
had charge of the Scout end of the
program and had with him as spec
ial guests of the club, Parr Lam
caster, who talked on the neces-
sary qualifications of a tenderfoot,
second class and first class Scout,
Fred Gillard, who explained his
long list of merit badges, Dick
Trimble, who told what was neces-
sary to do to obtain merit badge
for printing, Bill Ward, who told
of the requirements for an Eagle
Scout, Max Hathaway, who gave
the different things required of a
Scout before he could obtain the
several merit badges necessary to
become and Eagle Scout and Cow
boy Russell, who told what was
necessary to know to obtain a mer-
it badge for horSemanShip.
These young men handled their
subjects in an admirable manner,
which showed their thorough train
ing in Scout work.
At the close of the program Hun
ter presented each of the six boys
with the Eagle Scout badge, a mark
of distinction which is conferred
on few Scouts.
Phoenix has two Eagle Scouts,
Albuquerque has one, so it can be
seen that Winslow has something
of distinction in being the home
of six Eagle Scouts.
The very delectable luncheon was
served by the Womar's S club. The
committee in charge were Mrs. j.
]. Warman, chairman, Mrs. Gene
Thompson, Mrs. R. B. Eastman,
Mrs. c. A. Hansen, Mrs. Horace
Evans and Mrs. E. l.. Kleindienst.

Make Your Own Tax
Return Is New Ruling

Income tax time is here and all
those whose gross incomes exceed
$1,000 for single persons and $4,000
for married persons must make re-
turns whether they pay tax or not.
r. B. Walton, deputy collector
for this territory will be in Wins
low early in March to advise with
those who have not filed returns
and assist in any problems that
may confront the tax payer. A new
ruling of the department however,
prohibits Mr.. Walton from making
out the return blanks. The indi-
vidual must make the return him
self.
In speaking of this Mr.. Walton
said that the return blanks which
had been mailed out this year were
very much simplified and that there
need be no trouble in filling them
out properly. One thing which
should be borne in mind is that
all expenses incurred away from
home should be on the necessary
form, and attached to the return.
The form used is as follows:
l hereby certify that my business
is -.-....-......-... That the ma
ture of my business is such that l
am required to travel from place TO
place and for this reason such ex-
'pense is incurred and 1 am law
fully allowed to claim such ex
pense as a deduction from gross in
come in preparing my income tax
return.
That l was away from home.
days and that the actual amount
spent for meals and lodging while
away from home is $..-.-.. "
Don't forget March 18th is the
last day to file return.

Don't Hunt or Fish
- Without License or
Warden'l Get You

The Winslow Game Protective
association is making drive for
the observance of the game laws
of the state. Joe Roth, president
of the association, in speaking of
the work said that the club had
only one end in view and that was
the protection of game out of sea-
son, thereby preserving for the
benefit of all the sport of the game.
This cannot be done without
strict observance of the law and
proper support of the game ward
ems department. Considerable of
the finances used in the protection
of game comes from the sale of
hunting license. Mr. Roth says
that the revenue from this source
has been more than doubled since
the organization of the association
but there are still those who hunt
without the proper credentials, and
that it is the intention of the mem
bers in Winslow to see that all
those who hunt without first pro-
viding themselves with a license
are prosecuted. Warnings have
been broadcasted from time to time
and everyone should be informed
on the law, Joe said.
The members of the club are all
game wardens properly sworn in
and those who want to hunt had
better comply with the law
For the information of all con
cerned the section of the law per-
tanning to hunting without license
is quoted:
''No person shall at any time
hunt, shoot, or take in any man
ner, any game or non-game ami
NAL, bird or fish within the state
of Arizona without first having in
his possession hunting license as
provided by law, for the year in
which such hunting or fishing is
done"

New Motor Regulation
Supported By A. A. c.

Getting behind and urging the
adoption of a law compelling every
driver Of a motor. vehicle in the
state of Arizona to carry a drivers
license and limiting the age of mo-
tor vehicle drivers to Is years will
do much to lessen the immortality
and danger of motoring.
Such was the statement made
yesterday by Charles Kimberlin,
manager of the Automobile club
of Arizona who, in collaboration
with a score of attorneys and
judges in different parts of the
state fathered a proposition which
will be presented to legislature this
year compelling drivers license
and limited age for drivers.
"If we can keep 16 and II year
olds from driving automobiles, the
few roadhOuses which areE now
functioning in the state will not be
drawing cards for the children of
that age as they now are" Mr..
Kimberlin stated.
During our plan to propose such
law" he added, we discussed the
possibility of youngsters who are
now driving grocery wagons and
such vehicles, being thrown out of
employment by the law"
Feeling was for some time in fa-
vor of allowing special permits
whereby persons Under the ages of
18 years should be permitted to
drive vehicle as means of livi-
hood, but after conference with po-
lice and traffic officials, this plan
was abandoned because of reports
from judges and officers that much
of the careless driving done on city
streets is done. by youths driving
grocery and other small trucks.
Many of them, according to the
authorities are better drivers than
the older persons, but nevertheless
they have little or no regard for
traffic ordinances and motor vehicle
laws because they are aware that
the courts can do nothing with
them because of their age.
Under the proposal of the Auto
mobile club the drivers license
will cost only enough to pay the
cost of issuing. 1t is expected how
ever, that it will prove an addi-
tional protection to motorists figur-
ing in accidents and civil fault.

ARIZONA BUSINESS
ON UPWARD TREND /
COPPER FIRM AT Is

Arizona started 1925 with busi-
Seasonal influences were noticeable
in wholesale and retail lines, as
compared over a year ago..
The month brought nothing wor-
thy of note in agriculture. Gin
ming of last seasons cotton crop
is finished, total production of a.
900 bales being indicated, and move
ment of early lettuce is practically
over, shipments from the Salt River
valley having been more than 1900
cars. Comparative state figures Of
the department of agriculture give
Arizona first rank in average yield
per acre of tame hay, winter wheat
and alfalfa, and second in barley
and grain sorghums, and first place
in average value per acre of cot
ton, hay, wheat and alfalfa, sec
ond in baEley, sweet potatoes and
grain sorghums and third in oats.
Range conditions remain unsat-
isfactory, rains being needed not
only for spring feed, but to re-
plenish swater supplies, which are
low in many sections. Market con-
ditions show little change, but in
creasing inquiries from buyers
have given more encouragement for
the spring cattle movement.
There have been no important de-
velopments in mining, the market
for copper dropping at fraction the
end of the month after holding the
Is cent level for several weeks
Notwithstanding increased produc-
tion of the red metal in 1924, which
reached 676,000,000 pounds, new
peace time record, aggregate value
of the states copper, gold, silver
and lead production fell below 1923
figures, being $98,216,000 against
$104,301, 200.
Banking transactions as reported
to the Arizona industrial congress
reflected the trend of business, not
only exceeding figures of a year
ago in most cases, but comparing
we'll with December totals.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, October
17.-Praise for his efforts in develop
ing a new field q radio communica-
ton for the use of the Navy is given
to Lieut. T. II. Schnel, traffic man
ager of the American Radio Relay
League, in a letter from Admiral T.
+. CoontH, commander-in-chtvf of the
United States fleet, just made public
here
Lieat. Schnell, who was granted a
leave OF absence by the American
Radio Relay League, has served as
chief operator of experimental radio
station NRRL, on board the flagship
Seattle, throughout the Pacific cruise
Of the fleet, making history with his
valuable contributions to the knowl-
edge OF radio short-waVe phenomena.
This phase of radio work had been
touched but slightly by the Navy, and
the reliability which Lieut.. Schnell
proved was one of the outstanding fea-
lures of this type of communication
gave rise to the letter of commenda-
ton from the commander er-in-chief of
the fleet.
Station NRRL. working in daylight
and at night, succeeded, without a
break. in communicating with Amer
lean amateurs and the Navy short
wave station at Bellevue, D. c.. dur
ing the entire time of the cruise. The
importance of the work is well shown
by the fact that the fleet visited
Hawaii. the various South Sea Islands,
Australia and New Zealand.

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

Echoes from the Paris Telegraph Con
ference, now drawing to n close. indi-
cate that the American Radio Tele.
graph Conference, scheduled to be held
In Washington next Spring, will prob,
ably be postponed until late next FAN
Although invitations have been sent
to over 40 foreign nations asking them
to participate in the worldwide wire
less sessions here, and the appropria-
tions made by Congress provide that
the monies must be used prior to June
80, 1926, il is believed that a postpone
ment will be found necessary or at
least advantageous.
one OF the chief reasons for believ-
ing that delay would be desirable is
because the Paris telegraph delegates
are reported as unanimous in the be-
lief that combination OF the tele-
graph and the radio telegraph conven.
tions is desirable. Another is because
certain committees have been created
ard directed TO work out some OF the
worlds communication problems, re-
porting by october 81. 1926. to the first
international conference. 1t would ap-
pear advantageous to have these mat
ters discussed at Washington rather
than to have them lie unadopted posi-.
bly, for several years awaiting the next
general conference.
Nothing was done in Paris to inter
fere with the scope OF the forthcom-
ing radio parley at Washington; that
is, nothing pertaining to radio of a
technical nature was injected into the
wire conference. SO questions relat-
iEg to wireless communications, In
Guiding broadCaStS and amateur work
VIII remain open for discussion when
the Washington conference is held.
Upon the recommendations OF the
delegates of Great Britain, France,
Germany, Italy, China and some other
countries, the Paris conference went
on record as favoring combination
of the two world communication con
VentionS into one to cover electrical
communications sent by wire, cable or
via radio. which will probably be eff
tected at the next conference
Recent reports from Paris state that
subcommittee on rates and codes
passed resolution creating Il special
committee composed of delegates from
Great Britain, Germany Greece.
France, Belgium. Turkey, Russia, the
Dutch East Indies and Italy, to study
the code systems with regard to the
adoption of new universal tive-char.
acter code. This committee, if ap-
pointed. and it is believed the confer
ence will agree to do so, would also fix
new tariffs in accord with those of the
present codes approved by the confer
ence. 1t would naturally report TO the
first international conference held,
probably the Washington Radio Con-
ference, as there is not likely to be
another telegraph conference for sew
eral years.
