Man a Colloid, Science
! Declares. Meaning Glue

Baltimore, Nd Science today an
swered the question Of the ages For
generation after generation has asked
what is man? and the chemists to-
day answered, MAN is colloid
Lest man should become unduly
elated at his scientific distinction. the
chemists went on to describe what a
colloid is Scientists have distin-
guished for a long time, they said, be-
tween crystalline substances, liquids
and gases. About quarter Of cen
fury ago they began TO admit that in
addition there existed a whole range
of substances which we're Clues, or
glue-like In nature TO these was APP
piled the name "colloids," derived
from ''kolle," the Greek work for
glue" Man. according to the chem
lists, therefore, is a glue fact which
explains much of his perseverance.

NesO Idea for Motors

A Polish inventor, an engineer has
succeeded in building a car Of his
own design for which very important
advantages of construction are
claimed. The inventors name Is M.
Kerpowsd and his machine has been
called "Polonia" (Poland). The most
Important feature claimed for the
PoIonia car Is the facility with which
various parts can be removed and
the whole motor taken apart. In the
oElcial tests given the machine by
the ministry Of war, two automobile
mechanics, helped by boy, took apart
the motor, gear set, universal, and
rear axle in fourteen minutes and
assembled the same parts in thirty
six minutes. The Polonia car has a
six-cylinder motor of forty-five block
horse power and cylinder displace-
ment Of 80 K 125 millimeters. The
maximum speed claimed for this car
is 100 kilometers an hour.

Mr.. Frank Scudamore, who recounts
this delightful story in his book, "a
Sheaf Of Memories" is one of the
most celebrated Of war correspondents,
and, naturally, has had many interest
ing experiences.
During the Greco-Turkish war he
was watching the opening artillery
duel from inside an important Greek
fortress, and when the firing ceased at
dark, he and a fellow correspondent
sought a quiet spot where they might
write their dispatches undisturbed.
This was not easy to find, as every
one was so pleased with the results
Of this first days work that merry
parties were being held all over the
place.
At last, however, they came upon a
storeroom of sorts, in which was
profusion of great and small cases,
and long boxes, together with innumer-
able bullying sacks.

through the courts a suit against a
subscriber who owed eleven years
subscription and refused to pay claim
ing he had ordered it for only one
year The courts decided the subscrib-
er must pay, holding that he had ac-
cepted the paper during all that time
and therefore owed for it. Many peo-
pie have the impression that news
paper cannot collect delinquent sub
scriptions, but it can. 1t has been
through the Supreme courts of prac-
tically every state in the union and
the newspaper has invariably won out.

Total Maintenance

Of an estimated surplus of $7,000,000
Grant gets $158,S50 of which $31,750
is for county trunks; 1927 100 is for
state trunks.
An estimated Free Fund" also gives
an additional $42,S80 to our county
which may be used for constructive
purposes on any roads. This makes an
estimated total of $329,137 available.
Grant county ranks fourth in the state.
Milwaukee, Dane and Marathon alone
Outrank Grant.
The estimated $31,750 allowed for
county trunk construction in addition
to the $42,880 allowed as a free fund
can practically take care of the gen
eral property tax levied by our coun-
ty board last fall for county highway
purposes. This was the levy which
has so increased the amount shown in
our 1925 tax receipts as county tax.
Let us hope our county board will
use this new fund in place of the old
one and not as an addition to it.

NAVAJOS ON
WARPATH

Yelled from the pale of modern
civilization and isolated in their own
haunts in the New Mexico and Ari-
zona mountains, news of the war coun-
Gil of the Navajo Indians is awaited
by those outside the borders of the
reservation with concern. The council
was called by the heads of the tribe
to consider reprisals for the death of
one Of their number.
The tribesman was slain by con-
stable who was attempting to arrest
the Indian for removing a fence from
a homesteader's tract of land.
Efforts to have a coroner's jury
give a verdict were blocked by 100
braves, who stood guard over the body
and refused to yield it to the authori-
ties. The scene of the trouble is at
Cuba, N. NJ, where a number of set
tiers have taken up land formerly
held by the Navajos. The homestead
ers are said to be arming, believing
that the Indians will decide to drive
them off of the land.

BELOVED OAK CREEK
PIONEER WOMAN, MRS.
DUMAS, DIED MONDAY

Mrs. Margaret Ann Martin Dumas,
the first white woman settler on Oak
Creek and stepmother of DIR. NJ. Q,
Dumas, of Clemenceau, died at 1880
o'clock Monday night and will be bur
led tomorrow afternoon at ! o'clock
at the Middle Verde cemetery opposite
Aultman.
Mrs. Dumas was born in Greenfield,
Nelson county, Virginia, on January
20, 1884. Her parents, who were mar
ried on March %, 1924, were Hudson
Martin, who was born in Virginia in
1865, and who fought in the war of
the Revolution, and Nancy Thorpe, a
daughter of a distinguished Virginia
family.
Mrs. Dumas was twice married, her
first husband being Andrew Jackson,
a nephew of Stonewall Jackson. The
marriage was celebrated on December
16, 1850, at Braxton City, w. Va.
Her husband enlisted early in the
Confederate army and rose to be cap
tain of Company B, Nineteenth Vir-
ginia cavalry. All their property was
confiscated during the war and after
Lees surrender they moved to South
Carolina where they resided but two
years. In the fall of 1867, they moved
to Bandera, Texas, where they re-
mained until 1873, Mr.. Jackson being
engaged in the lumber business. VI
In 1878 they left Texas with three
ox-drawn wagons, going to Trinidad,
Colo. The next spring they went to
Baker City, Oregon.
1t was New Year day in 1876 that
the pioneers reached Prescott. They
spent the winter there and then took
up a ranch on Oak Creek, Mrs. Jack
son being the first white woman in
that district. Incidentally, she had
the honor of naming House mountain.
Mr.. Jackson died in 1892, and on
October 13, 1895, Mrs. Jackson mar
ried David E. Dumas, the doctors
father. They lived on Spring creek
until 1905, when they moved to the
present Dumas ranch. Mr. Dumas died
in Flagstaff on July 3, 1920.
Mrs. Dumas is survived by three
step-children, DR.. M. 0. Dumas of
Jerome and Clemenceau, Mrs. Birdie
Carlot of Dennison, Texas, and Dee
Dumas of Louisiana.
The funeral was at the cemetery in
Middle Verde on Wednesday.
