DR.. MARVIN TALKS
RIGHT STRAIGHT OUT

President G. II. Marvin of Arizona's
university says:
"The university believes in democ-
racy.
1--WE do not want students to come
here and bring highpriced automobiles
and have large expense accounts and
wardrobes out of proportion to the
situation.
"When boy or girl is faced with
the task of spending $100 to 5000 a
month, he or she will have difficulty
in finding time for study.
''The university will value young
men and women for what they do and
not for what somebody else has done
for them.
"Moreover, we believe better men
and women are made by burning mid
night oil than by burning gasoline.
zone Of the pitiable struggles in
society today is the struggle to get
away from hard work. The university
education is not to get away from
hard work but to enable a man to
work ten times harder.
"In addition to his intellectual
training every man should have a
trade and be able to work with his
hands.

MEANEST MAN ''TACKS"
HIGHWAY RUINS TIRES

Phoenix.-An exhaustive investiga-
tion into what has been termed an
epidemic of automobile tire punctures
on the Phoenix Yuma highway, be-
tween ella Bend and Yuma, has been
ordered by the state highway depart
ment, according to an announcement
made by W. w. Lane, chief engineer.
Numerous complaints received from
tourists, returning vacationists and
business men, truck drivers and others
of the innumerable punctures exper-
fenced on this stretch of road was the
cause of centering the attention of the
highway department on the question.
The many similar tales of woe re-
ceived from motorists who spent a
total of hours changing tires and
patching tubes in order to negotiate
the comparatively short distance be-
tween Yuma and Gila Bend, prompted
the highway officials to "find out
why"
Most of the auto travellers, many of
them residents Of Phoenix, complained
that they ran into from one to five
punctures while travelling between
Mohawk and Gila Bend, the majority
Of which were caused by nails.
One Phoenix business man stated
that between Yuma and Gila Bend, he
punctured every one on his car,
changed to spares and then punctured
them The motorist following him, he
said, had almost an identical exper-
fence. A garage man where the mo-
torist stopped for repairs on the road
was then patching his eighty-ninth
tube for the day, he declared A
United States official reported that
on another section of the same high
way he discovered flat tire and that
investigation showed 15 holes in a
straight line in his tube, apparently
caused from tacks.
The reason for the unusual epi-
demic of punctures along this parti-
cular stretch of highway has re-
manned as yet unexplained, according
to highway officials. Many theories
have been advanced by the indignant
motorists who have lost time, money
and patience as result of the condi-
ton, but no definite clues have been
unearthed.

INSURANCE COMPANY SUES
TOWN OF WILLIAMS FOR $3986

The Standard Accident Insurance
company filed suit in federal district
court last week seeking to re-
cover $3906.71 alleged to be due from
the town of Williams.
The suit, according to the COM
plant, grows out of a contract let by
The town of Williams in June, 1924,
TO S. P. GILES for the charging of a
RESERVOIR dam. The insurance COM
pany became the surety on the bond
for the performance of the GILES con-
tract.
Under terms of the contract, ac-
cor6ling to the complaint, GILES was
to be paid at the end of each 30 days
for rs per cent of the work done dur
ing that time. The remaining 25 per
cent was to be paid when the contract
was completed, and the accrued por-
ton of the % per cent, it is alleged,
was to protect the Standard company
in the event of Mr.. Giles failure to
perform the contract.
The complaint alleges, however,
that when GILES failed to complete
the contract work, the approximately
S5GG0 which had accrued to the % per
cent fund was paid to bank at Pres
colt without securing necessary per-
mission from the surety company.

SURVIVORS SAY SHARKS
FOLLOWED FLOATING PN-9

Honolulu.-Sharks- -buzzards of the
sea-rolled and wallowed round and
round the plane, following the float
ing PN-9 No. / with its crew for
most of the more than 218 hours that
they drifted, it was revealed in the
talks of the three enlisted men who
gave to their commander credit for
the indomitable spirit and the never
say-die attitude which brought them
safely through.
Without stint the trio praised Rod
gers, whose dream had failed to come
true by less than two hundred miles,
for lack of gasoline.
Eyes, there were sharks, big black
fellows, that followed day after day,
always waiting, / suppose, for a
choice bite of human flesh" said Will
liam H. Bowlin, aviation chief ma
chinist's mate, and the other two
chimed assent.
"Our gas gave out at 4:15 p. m. San
Francisco time, the day after we hon
ped off," said Bowlin. owe were still

had run into a slight squall a short
time before.
can hour or so after we came down
orders were given to cut away the
fabric of the lower planes. This is a
hard and fast rule for all planes MAX
ing a forced landing which are likely
to be at the mercy Of the waves for
any length of time. The fabric was
saved and we later fashioned sails
with it.
"Then began the long wait Stantz,
our radio man, could hear the mes
sages of alarm that went out over our
sudden drop from sight. 1t was a
queer sensation, that-li5tening to
those hunting for us and being un-
able to communicate with them. That S
the way it went, day after day. One
day, | can't remember which, we
sighted a commercial steamer about
five miles to the starboard. 1t was
early in the morning and the sun was
behind us, so that / suppose we were
not visible to the lookout on the ship.
About the third day, think it was,
we sighted the Pelican 20 miles away.
We were certain that we had been
sighted and would be picked up, as
she seemed to be steaming for us, but
after coming on mile or so she put
about and headed south. Again as we
neared the shore of Oahu, which we
later sighted, we saw two planes, but
just as they were about to approach
US they too turned back. Fate GER
tainly seemed against us.
''Three times we thought we were
sighted only to see the ship or rlane
put about. Believe me, that was
fought, wasn't it
after we sighted the north shore
of Oahu we thought we would be able
to land there but the wind shifted and
we drifted away again. That, think,
was when our hopes sank to the low
est ebb.
"We drifted for two more days, l
think, when rainstorm struck us. 1t
was then we managed to get our first
drop of really fresh water. We put
out a bucket over side and spread our
fabric to catch it. Big boy, it Ger
tainly felt good and tasted better"

DISCHARGE PAPERS
ARIZONA RANGERS
MISLAID l6 YEARS

Long misiaid discharge papers of
the old Arizona rangers, a territorial
DAYS state police organization which
was disbanded in February, 1909, by
an act of the twenty-fifth territorial
Legislature, are now in the hands of
Con p. Cronin, state librarian. The
librarian said that those to whom the
discharges belonged may obtain them
by applying to him; those papers not
called for will be filed with the state
historian to be kept with other relics
of the territorial days.
For nearly ten years the discharges,
along with other papers, have been in
the home of Historian Cronin, who
found them few days ago in an old
desk which he was cleaning out. The
historian has forgotten who it was
that gave him the discharge papers
and for what reason.
The papers are signed by Captain
Harry Wheeler, the last commander
of the rangers, and approved by Gov.
governor of Arizona. Governor Kib-
bey approved the discharges on Feb
ruary 20, 1909, in accordance with
the territorial legislative act which
abolished the rangers. Each discharge
paper contains the record of the
ranger to whom it was issued and
some notation as to his qualifications
and the service rendered.
The discharges are for the follow
ing members who we're enlisted in the
rangers at the time the organization
was abolished: S. J. Hayhurst, E. R..
Lenz, W. O. Farmer, o. F. Hicks,
James I. Homes, Oscar McAda, F. S..
Wheeler, W. o. Olds, John Nick. Red
mond, William Sparks, W. N. Wilson,
William Speed, Cy Byrnes, Lew H.
Mickey, Arthur f. Chase, Tip Etan-
ford, w. L. Carpenter, Ben w, Olney,
H. E. Woods, NJ. t. "Tom" Gadbery.
h The rangers were organized in 1901
and until their disbanding in 1909,
the organization did excellent work
in keeping peace in the state and eff
fective work in the capture of des-
peradoes, cattle and horse thieves, and
other criminals. Burton c. Mossman
was the first captain of the rangers
and Harry Wheeler, who later served
as sheriff in Cochise county for a
number Of years was the last COM
mander.

NEW YORKER LIGHTS SIGNAL
FIRE; CAN'T STOP IT; PINCHED

Tucson.-Sol Framan of New York,
aged 10, is held here on charge of
causing fire in Pima canyon, one
that has burned several hundred
acres of brush and that still is defy
ing the efforts of a force of Coronado
forest service men.
F'raman declares he was justified in
his action. He was hunting for a
ranch at which he hoped to secure
employment, but became lost. AS a
signal for help, he set fire to paper
by means of shots from his pistol, aft
er having drawn the lead from the
cartridges. The fire spread to brush,
a fact appreciated by him as giving
just that much more notice of his
plight. But the blaze finally drove
him down the canyon to the open
country.

A big comfortable chair made to
order with upholstery to suit any
taste or match any finishings or
frame chair stained and finished to
meet any requirement-thesea are prod
ucts of one of the most unusual manu-
featuring plants in San Antonio.
The City Upholstery, 424 Main Ave-
nue.. is prepared TO make almost any
thing in the furniture line in so far as
chairs, settees lounges and davenports
are concerned and to build the en-
tire product from the basic materials
to the completed products, thus being
! able to effect a handsome saving for
the customer.
Likewise. they make it possible for
any design or any particular style to
be built TO order and to the exact
measurements.
FACTORY TO CONSUMER.
In this manner, the home furnisher
who has a particular space to solve
can send the measurements to the City
Upholstery and have chair or settee
constructed that will fit exactly into
the space allotted.
Since 1900 this concern has been
doing business in San Antonio. Re-
Gently it was learned that it was
necessary to move into larger quarters
and Just three months ago the proprie-
tors moved to their present location.
Much money can be saved due to the
fact that the construction of the frame
and the upholstering are both done
in this plant. The work is handled on
the factory to consumer plan. which of
course eliminates the middle-man s
profit. All manufacturing is done in
this shop.
SKILLED W0RKMEN.
A hardwood frame can be taken and
springs placed into it; then by sim
pie process of padding this frame with
hair and silk floss and last by cover
ing with either tapestry, velour or
mohair a beautifully finished product
is the result. The entire process re-
auires much careful attention and 1t
is necessary to employ only skilled
workmen.
II. L. Smith and NJ. G. Reed, the
owners of this concern. have had a
great deal of experience along this
particular line of work. Mr.. Smith
has been engaged in this work since
he was 10 years old. He acquired his
knowledge of upholstering and repair
ing in Germany.

and new finish is placed on the

faded materials made very undeslr-

CHANGE STYLES.
If desired, the styles Of individual
pieces can be changed. The high head
and foot boards, that were popular IN
grandmother's day can be replaced
readily by the present designs. The
sideboard of ages ago can be trans
formed into the most up-to-date Duf-
fet that would delight any housewife.
The dressers and bureaus OF other
DAYS are being transformed into the
most attractive and modern pieces OF
bedroom furniture that every woman
really loves TO possess.
Not even the ola piano Of genera

tire family, but which has no ivory
on the keys and the notes are annoy
ing can escape the touch of this mod
ern transformer. According to Mr..
Smith pianos are sent in to be re-
paaired in as large numbers as the
smaller pieces. The modern housewife
loves TO have the last word in fur
niture in her home. And for that rea-
son these very old articles are sent
in to be done over after the modern
idea of what real up-to-date furniture
should be.
SOLVE PROBLEM.
City Upholstery is expert in furni-
ture finishing, refinishing and repair
ing and has solved the problem of
new furniture for many families. This
work is done very reasonable.
Mr.. Smith states that his books in
dictate the concern has witnessed an
approximately $4,000 increase over
last years sales. This is a sign in
dicating that the modern families are
taking advantage Of the opportunities
offered them to save and that they are
giving home products preference,
adds Mr.. Smith. He further states
that business is holding up remark
ably well and that prospects for the
future are promising.
