newspapers in the near future, he
says.
At Meridian, Miss, the party were
mistaken for rum runners and ar
rested. This was the only misfor-
tune to befall them, with the excep-
ton of near-accident when one
of their cars was sideswiped by a
passing car on the road.
Members of the party expressed
the opinion that Arizona was one
of the most interesting states they
had visited, and while they had
encountered some of the worst
roads along the route in this state,
they had found some of the best
ones here also. In speaking Of
Arizona deserts, Mr.. Vanderbilt said
that he had had to form altogether
new conceptions concerning them
on this trip, as he had always been
under the impression that they
were strewn with carcasses OF
starved COWS and all the carcasses
he had seen were those of what
looked to be starved cars. The
country surely becomes modernized
quickly, he said.

Improving Health
Conditions
By MARGI HOPKINS.

TT IS the duty of everyone to him
self and to society to keep well.
The sick man not only is a burden
to himself but burden to society
as WE'LL and in becoming i'll with
a disease, we become the agent of
it, and in the case of contagious
disease, we spread it to our fam
lily, our neighbors and our friends.
Sickness is something we can not
suffer alone.
On the other hand, we are told
that disease turks in every corner,
in the air we breath and the food
we eat. How is one to keep well?
we think, but fortunately our bodies
are prepared to meet with this con-
dition. and unless germs get too
numerous, they give us little trou~
BILE.
During the last two months, how
ever, Winslow has undergone what
doctors say is one of the most wide
ly spread and varied epidemics
since flu times. Scarlet fever,
measles, mumps, whooping cough,
smallpox, chickenpox, and even
diphtheria have reigned among the
school children, and though now
that school is out, and it is expect
ed that this epidemic will subside.
yet it is something to think about.
New Ordinance.
The city council thought about
it at it's last meeting; in fact, it
has been making Investigations of
the sanitary conditions of the city
for several weeks, and because of
conditions it found, it passed new
ordinance to enable the health in
spector to make Winslow a safer
place in which to live. This action
was an important one and it is
good that the council saw fit to
pass the new ordinance; yet all
the ordinances and health inspec-
tors in the world are no good with
out the cooperation of the people.
The ordinance is printed in another
place in this issue, and for thar
reason will not go into it in detail,
but please turn to it and read it.
1t has to do with the disposition
of garbage and the keeping of stock
within the city limits, and while
it is good to know that for the
most part, this ordinance was
framed chiefly because of condi-
lions existing in the foreign part of
town, that was not entirely the rea-
son, remember.
In any event the council has
/ taken this step to clear away all
breeding places for flies and dis
ease germs, and with the co-opera-
tion of everyone. much good can
be accomplished, and the indirect
way of spreading disease will be
practically eliminated
Importance of Quarantine.
There is another phase of the
subject, however, and that has to
do with practices of people after

WAITING ONES TURN.

TT is quite common thing, when
= one is waiting in a line before
some ticket window or elsewhere,
to see some one come up to per-
sonaI acquaintance pretty well up
in that line, and ask such a one to
buy the desired ticket for this late
conner, when really such a one
should take a place at the foot OF
the line and wait. But some folks
always have a smart way of getting
ahead of the general run of the
public.
If woman was hurrying home to
look after a sick child or had some
similar reason for haste, she could
be excused for thus cutting in. But
as usual thing there is no such
reason. The people, who thus
take advantage give an impression
of bad manners.
1t is the mark of ladies and gen
tlemen that they would rather wait
than show any trace of discourtesy.
Those who are willing to take their
regular turn can feel satisfaction
at the thought that they possess
better breeding. OF course, many
people will do these pushing things
as result of mere thoughtlessness,
and the suggestion to such that
they are not manifesting perfecI
courtesy may lead them to avoid
these ways in future.

they have contracted a disease.
According to DR.. George Sampson,
supervisor of our board of health,
during the last epidemic it has
been found that many cases of the
different diseases were not reported
to a doctor or health official and
that in these cases the individuals
of the family who were well ran
at large and thus carried the dis
ease wherever they went. While
perhaps these people did not real
ize the seriousness of this offense,
the effect was not lessened because
of their lack of realization.
The board of health does not re-
quire anyone to call a doctor in
case of sickness, provided that the
mother or whoever is in, charge is
able to treat the case, but it does
require that the case be reported
Many people are under the impress
sion that there is a charge connect
ed with the services of the health
supervisor, but there is not. If
there is sickness in your home, by
all means call him. He will dag
nose the case free, placard your
house in the case of a contagious
disease, and instruct you how to
keep the disease from spreading
among your family and to your
neighbors. When the sickness is
over, he comes and funnigates your
house, also free of charge. He is
not allowed, however as a health
officer to administer treatment,
but, being a doctor himself, he can
advise if the case is serious enough
to be under a doctors care. Many
people try to keep from under the
notice of the health supervisor, be-
cause they do not want to be quar-
antined, but surely no one would
want to feel that through their
carelessness a friends child had
contracted a disease and died.
Children's diseases are not often
fatal, but one never can tell, and
it is safe to say that no good comes
from them. Keeping in quarantine
is inconvenient, but it is a duty,
and. like many other things, the
thought of it is worse than the
practice.
Prevent Spreading. ~
If there is a contagious disease
in your house, try your best to see
that it does not get out. Try to
keep all flies out, and by all means
kill any that happen to get in. If
you have a dog or cat, keep it
either inside or out If an animal
is allowed to play with sick chill
dren do not let it go into the yards
of other children, and when the
time for fumigating and disinfect-
ing comes, give the pet it's lysol
bath along with the other members
of the family.
Z, It is hard to control the Spread
of scarlet fever and the so-called
dry-germ diseases in spite of rigid
quarantine, but in the case OF
whooping cough, diphtheria, ty-
phoid and other wet-germ diseases,
the spreading may be prevented
more completely. If all discharges
from the body are taken care OF
properly, there is little danger

OUT OF THE
GLOOM
BY STEPHEN l.. HORTON.
-(Written for The Mail.)

Out of the gloom she came.
Darkness fraught with fear and
pain,
AS tender shoot comes in the
spring
In response to the voices of sun
and rain,
Nature called, she came.
Transplanted from the Masters
garden
Deep-rooted within our hearts,
We watch her growth and unfold
ing
As each day comes and departs.
Each day we make record
On our hearts most inner files
OF each little thing in the doingI
OF all her tears and smiles.
And perhaps when we are older
The children all grown and gone,
And gone forever the days full
Of childish laughter and song,
Oh, these will be priceless treas
ureS
That will warm our old hearts like
wine,
Help make ilife's chilly autumn
Have the beauty of fair springtime.

c. Vanderbilt Jr. and
Party Pass Thru; Have
Car Spring Repaired

Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr. and
party composed of John W. Brodix,
director of the Vanderbilt publica-
tons; Richard Burke, brother-in
law of Mr.. Vanderbilt, and a
chauffeur passed through Winslow
Wednesday afternoon, travelling
overland in two Packard touring
cars en- route from Washington, D.
c. to Los Angeles, having come by
way of Atlanta, Ga. They were
forced to make stop of a few
hours in order to have a spring
repaired which had broken on the
road this side of Holbrook.
When the party arrived in Wins
low they had been on the road nine
days, with an actual travelling time
of seventy-four and half hours.
They planned to make Grand Can

SENSITIyENESS TO WEATHER.

A LADY remarks that when a GER

A travelling salesman also says
he finds it very hard to sell goods
on windy days. He thinks many
men are depressed by such atmos-
pheric conditions, and take a less
hopeful view of their situation and
will not buy.
1t seems foolish for people thus
to be influenced by exterior cir
cumstances. Healthy persons at
least should have such natural
confidence and buoyancy that any
old weather would look good to
their hopeful feelings.

that the disease will be carried
away.
In the case of whooping cough.
discharges which the child may
make through vomiting while play
ing in the yard should be ilnmedi-
ately disinfected or buried, because
the whooping cough germs come
from the stomach. Such discharge
will attract flies, or even dry up
and be taken away by the wind.
Bowel discharges from any disease
should never be emptied into an
open toilet vault.
1t is not the willful desire of
anyone to spread a disease, but all
of us are apt to be careless. How
ever, with the new action of the
city council and with the co-opera-
ton Of everyone in doing his duty
as a citizen, another epidemic such
as the one during the last two
months can in all probability be
avoided.

NEWSPAPERS-AND PAPERS.

THAT the weekly newspapers of
the country show a higher de-
gree of character than the big city
dailies is matter of general COM
ment. One of the leading authori-
ties of the country recently made
this statement upon the difference
between the weeklies and the
dailies:
"The newspaper in the small
community is it's greatest asset. 1t
is more concerned than any other
institution in community prosper
ity, community uplift and those
moral and intellectual standards
which give identity to the cOmmu-
nifty and distinction among it's fell
lows. 1t does more for the churches,
more for the schools, more for the
homes, more for the business men,
more for the luncheon clubs, more
for the chamber of commerce, more
for charity, more for the lodges, the
hospitals, the city parks and play
grounds, than any other institu-
ton.
"The country weekly is clean. 1t
can not exist otherwise. 1t has a
constituency which will not endure
filth. The big city papers are filled
with nauseating indecencies every
day which no country editor would
think of publishing. All this is ex-
cused by the owners of the big city
dailies on the utterly false and IL
logical plea that the people demand
it.
"The fact is that they demand
nothing of the kind. They merely
regretfully tolerate it. There are
many successful dailies of large
circulation which minimize the SEN
sational, the risque, the scandalous,
and their numbers are increasing
every year. The shocking impro-
prieties parade through the pages
of the city press every day are 4
stencil in the nostrils of civiliza-
ton, an offense against every int
pulse of decency.
.There is something radically
wrong with a journalism that
stresses crime and scandal. There
is something wrong when the great
calculations are used for dissent
mating misleading propaganda, in
spired by the financial interests or
the personal prejudices OF the
owners. There is something wrong
when half page is given to picture
a society dame or debutante who
has never been heard of before and
will never be heard of again, while
the blue pencil of the editor strikes
out real, legitimate news with
merciless impartiality. There is
something wrong with journalism
that gives its space freely to pug
with a throwback to the brute an
cestrysof the race and denies men
ton to the accomplishments of the
distinguished citizen with character
and brains.
"There is a psychology which the
student in journalism would do well
to learn. 1t is that the human mind
grows by what it is fed upon. If ii
is fed with filth it will grow w
filthy. If it is nursed on scandal ii
will reek with scandal. If the
newspaper sows the wind it will
reap the whirlwind." - DeKalt

only consideration. Yet
its price is almost half that

The reason for this is
simple: Aristo does not

costs from the /. asst. 1t is
refined in California, from
western crude of select
quality. And it benefits

No. z: StudxfnE the Wave.

Trying to figure out what made his
radio set work was beginning to fur
nish Smith with as much enjoyment
as the programs. What puzzled him
most was that radio waves could
penetrate tho brick walls of the
house. Nor could he understand why.
granting that the waves did get in
side the house, reception should not
be just as strong with the loop as
with an inside aerial which he had
strung around the picture molding.
Besides" he continued, how can
all these concerts be on the air at
the same time without interfering
with each other and producing a
tumble of noise? And why can't we
hear this without the aid of a set?''
You'd better stop right there"
cautioned him. when the operation
of your automobile engine puzzled
you ] suggested following a drop OF
gasoline from the tank to tho ex-
haust Now with your radio you've
got to follow some such procedure,
only this time well start with a radio
wave.
"The trouble is that even after you
visualize radio waves as very much
like the ripples that passed to the
distant shores when. "A bay, you
dropped stones in the lake you can
not pin too much faith on this ex-
PLANTATION. The waves you created in
the lake passed through the medium
of water, whereas those set up by the
broadcasting stations are supposed to
travel through that hypothetical sub
stance known as ether. But Einstein,
the German physicist, upset the ether
theory, and SO, more or less, upset
the radio wave idea.
However, 1t is obvious that some
kind OF electro magnetic energy must
pass from the broadcasting station TO
your receiving set and that 1t must
pass through some kind of medium on
a certain wave length. otherwise
there would be no radio communica-
ton, but just a jumbled reception, in
the event that uncontrolled energy
were transmitted. The wave idea
seems to offer something to. stand
on.
You probably noticed when drop
ping stones into the lake that their
size and the frequency with which
you dropped them had much to do
with the character of the waves
created. Big stones caused deep
waves. Dropping stones in quick
succession set up trains of waves.
Most of the waves, whether created
by big or little stones, seemed TO
reach the shore, although sometimes
you could detect those from the
smaller stones only by the almost
imperceptible movement of a floating
leaf. All this is true of radio when
you substitute for the stones cleo
trical energy and ether for the water.
Stations broadcast with varying
strength and on different wave
lengths which are determined by the
frequency of the electrical discharges.

CURB ISSUES DECLINE.
Further Recessions Take Place in
Saturday Session.

NEW YORK, March 14.-Further
recessions were made in many issues
on the curb exchange today. The de-
clines extended upward to two points
or more and encountered small de-
mand at the lowering quotations.
Goodyear Tire and Continental Bak-
ing dropped sharply, both showing
losses at one time of about two points
In the petroleum section Prairie Oil
and Standard Oil of Indiana contin-
ued in supply at material declines.
All through the week the market
was highly irregular both in move
ment and tone. The radio issues
showed a complete absence of either
support or nearby inquiry even at
unsettling declines and some issues
were forced down to new low records.
In some stocks the movement was
checked to an extent by the an
nouncement that the account of the
leading promoter in a number of
those stocks had his holdings taken
over by a prominent banking firm.
Hazeltine was one of the greatest
sufferers, falling II points to 20ts
Ware Radio had a further loss of
about points, to IL, and freshman
sufferers, falling IL points, to 20b.

COTTON PRICES HIGHER.
Heavy Saturday Covering Lifts
Quotations on Futures.

NEW YORK, March 14.-Further
realizing was absorbed on slight re-
actions from an opening advance in
the cotton market today. Prices
later sold up sharply on covering
for over the week end. Nav ad-
vanced to $500, or 81 points net
higher, and closed at 25.77, the gem
eral market closing irregular at net
advances of 80 to 46 points.
A, private report said a poor de-
mand existed for ocean freight room
for forward shipments of cotton from
gulf ports, but the amount of cotton
on shtpboard at the end of the week
was estimated at $4,000 bales, against
$4,000 last year, which suggested
continued full shipments this month.
Tho census report placing domestic
mill consumption at 550,132 bales for
February. against 5S9,72 the previous
month, and 50S,677 last year, exceeded
the recent private forecast and no
doubt contributed to the advance.
