WOMEN DECIDE ON
WHITE AND BLACK
FOR 1926 PLATES

White plates with black figures
and letters is the color combina-
ton which the women of the state
have chosen to be used on the 1926
automobile license plates.
Although the color scheme was
to be chosen from the selection
sent in by the largest number OF
women to James H. Kerby, secre-
tary of state, the black and white
combination represents the sugges-
ton submitted by the second larg-
est number, as almost 80 per cent
of the suggestions submitted were
for the copper and black combina-
tiOn now in use. The law, how
ever, requires that the color be
changed each year, and for that
reason it was impossible to select
the combination submitted by the
majority.
Between 10000 and $4,000 plates
will be ordered for 1926. This year
many counties of the state have
had to be supplied with a special
order of plates, as the estimate for
their needs at the beginning of the
year was not large enough.
Bids will be asked on two types
of plates, one being the same size
plate as was used this year, while
the other type will be the 1924
style of plate, which was narrower
and shorter than the plate used this
year. The 1924 plate carried the
abbreviation for the state. while
this years plate carries the name
of the state in full.

Straight Line is Longest
Between Any Two Points

1t used to be taught in the old-fashioned schools
that straight line between two given points was
always the shortest and that to travel roundabout
paths was to increase the distance.
That isn't true any longer. To strike the short
est line between two points one must go quite way
out of the way to right left To travel the straight
direct course is but to increase the distance from
where you stop.
Word was sent this week to the editor of The
Winslow Mail that tremendous roadside sign has
been erected the National Old Trails east of Los
Lunas advising strangers that it is 165 miles shorter
via Springervile, Rice Phoenix and Yuma to Los
Angeles.
The citizens Of towns along the National Old
Trails protesting at the absurd claims. The Wins
low Mail not informed who is responsible for hav-
ing the sign placed.

Women Don't Have
To Tell Their Ages

According to a ruling of James
H. Kerby, secretary of state, the
women of the state will not be re-
quired to state their ages when
making application for a license to
operate an automobile in accord
ance with the provisions of the
motor Vehicle Title and Opera
tors law"
Mr.. Kerby's Interpretation of that
paragraph of the law requiring the
age in making application for an
operators license, is that mas
much as the women do not state
their ages when registering as
qualified electors of the state of
Arizona. it will be necessary only
for them to state that they are
more than Is years of age. Under
the law anyone under the age of Is
must obtain a special drivers per-
nit. therefore when a special per-
nit is applied for by young lady
under IS years, it will be sufficient
to state that she is under eighteen
years of age.
This ruling undoubtedly will be
appreciated by all the women, as
it is one question that they wish to
leave to the imagination of the
other sex, and will bear out the
saying that woman is only as
old as she looks"
This law will go into effect on
Oct. 1, 1925, and in order to cause
the automobile owner as little trou-
BILE as possible. Mr.. Kerby intends
to mail sufficient operators appli-
cation blanks to supply all men,
bers of the family when he mails
out the application blanks for the
motor vehicle title application, dur
ing the month of September. Each
owner upon receiving the blanks
can fill them out and return TO the
secretary of state, and then drivers
permits and certificates of title will
be mailed them without any fur
ther trouble. This will eliminate
all unnecessary confusion and
trouble both to the owner and
those administering the law

INTER-TR|BAL
CEREMONIAL
DANCES OPEN
WEDNESDAY, {

From the farthermost hogan
wlgWam and pueblo the Indians OF
the southwest, horseback, in COW
cred wagons and in autos are COM
ing into Gallup. Old and young.
educated and savage-all are iour-
neying over the mountains, mesas
and deserts to take part in an in
ter-tribal gathering.
For three days, beginning tomor-
row, Gallup will be theirs, Old
friends will be united, old enemies
Will meet. The Navajo, who once
on swift, half-wild ponies swooped
down on the pueblo of his enemy
and looted him of women, grain
and cattle, will contest against him
IN a loot race, or with him shoot
arrows at common target.
The Apache will meet those who
,trailed and captured Geronimo. and
give their scalp dance, which the
old men of other tribes can still
remember as occurring in less
peaceful times.
Ten thousand Indians. renre-
senting fourteen tribes, will give
thlrty-five dances. The fire, devil.
dog, bear. war, buffalo and butter
lily dances will be given, along with
many others. Costly and rare
blankets, bracelets, rings, pottery.
baskets and beadwork will be ex-
hibited for prizes.
In the morning and afternoons
the Indians will contest in tribal
sports. Races of long and short
distances will be run. Wild desert
ponies and buffalo will be ridden.
In the evenings most of the
dances will be performed. Nor
could any setting be more fitting
than that, where for years now the
Indians have come together.
In an amphitheater perhaps a.
half mile square, and surrounded
on all sides but one by rock-strewn
hills, the dances are given. There
is no light save that which leaps
from the Indians fires. Tom toms,
some of which have been handed
down for generations, start their
low, misunderstanding beat, chorus
picks up the rhythm in a savage
chant, and the dancers, wild, half
naked, sway in faultless time in the
firelight's weird glow.
Unless one would travel for
years over the reservations, it
would be impossible to learn so
much of the Indians as when they
gather in Gallup for the inter-tribal
ceremonial. Nowhere do they gath
er in such numbers, nor is there
any gathering other than this that
is all-Indian.
Rates of fare and a half have
been granted those going to the
Inter-Tribal Indian ceremonial
from points in Arizona and New
Mexico, the Santa Fe has an
nounced.
Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls and
Girl Scouts may enter Ceremonial
park free, the association has
stated.

COMMERCIAL
CLUBASkSFOR
REbU|LD|NC0 OF
ROAD BRIDGE

Resolutions were adopted by the
Commercial club last evening and
directed to state highway depart
ment and the governor urging the
immediate rebuilding of the bridge
at Manila, which was washed out
by the storm of July 8. 1t was
stated in the resolution that travel
was difficult between Holbrook,
Joseph City and Winslow, and that
this city is cut off from the rest
of the county during and following
every rain, and that Winslow de-
pends in large measure upon JOS
epth City for vegetables and farm
products, and that the existing con-
dition is very exasperating. Ven
dors from the Mormon town are
loath to make the trip with loaded
trucks. Sunday afternoon traffic
was halted, and a number of Wins
low people who had gone to Hol-
brook were compelled to turn back
train.
A similar resolution was ad
dressed to the city council asking
that some measure be taken to fix
the dip at the east edge of town,
which for weeks has been sub
merged by foot or more of water.
A report from the board of direc-
of ctr i'm
provement with gravel was read
before the club. The report sug-
gested that the sponsors of gravel
paving secure the consent of prop
erty owners in one or two blocks
and lay the paving as test, letting
it bear the burden of traffic during
the winter, so that comparisons can
be made of costs and desirability
of that type of street surfacing. 1t
was stated that it would be diff
cult to finance an extensive paving
plan of that kind, inasmuch as no
bonds could be sold on paving
proposition other than permanent
paving.
Secretary Charles L. Murphy
stated that the New York Times
had requested from him story on
trations. Mr.. Murphy asked the
cooperation of club members in
securing suitable pictures of the
ceremony, and citizens of Winslow
are requested to submit any photo
graphs they may have of this
dance to him at his office in the
city hall.
Letters of commendation were
ordered sent to the board of super
visors and the engineer of Coco
nino county for the fine way in
which they have worked with the
supervisors and engineer of this
county in accomplishing results on
the Sunset Pass road. G. T. Ste
vens called attention of the club to
the work that has been done on
this new highway and gave it as his
opinion that this is one of the most
valuable of all highways to Wins
low.
A letter addressed to the editor
of The Winslow Mail was read call
ing attention to a big sign which
has recently been erected at Los
Lunas, ~ NJ, stating that the high
way via Springerville. Rice, Phoe-
nix and Yuma to Los Angeles is
nearly 200 miles shorter than the
National Old Trails from Los Lunas
to Los Angeles. Following the
reading of this communication let
ters were addressed to the civic
clubs of cities along the National
Old Trails urging meeting of rep
resentatives, in line with the plan
recently suggested by Needles, at
which problems confronting this
highway may be discussed ana
means devised to combat the activ-
ity of competing highways to di-
vert tourist travel to north and
south roads.

Here's a Tip Other
Towns Might Follow

Tourists forgetting to stamp post
cards and letters need not worry
about them not reaching their des-
tination. The chamber of COM
merce has deposited a sum of mon
ey with the postmaster of Flagstaff
to cover any such cases.
On each letter or post card SO
stamped will be printed notice that
the postage was supplied by the
chamber of commerce. This
should create a friendly feeling to-
ward Flagstaff, as the folks back
home are always anxious to hear
from their tourist friends
