FUR STOCKINGS ARE
REPLACING BOOTS

London, Eng.-Russian boots
are going out at last, slowly but
surely, but London men who miss
the shapely calves they used to
see will have to wait until spring.
Fur stockings are replacing the
Russian boot for those who can
afford them, and the women who
can't are wearing out their pres
ct boots before they scrap them.
The fur stockings have to be
made to order, as they fit the leg
closely above the knee. They are
supposed to be worn over silk
stockings, but as in the case Of
the Russian boot, it is easy to
cheat regarding either quality Or
absence from holes.

PHOENIX SHERIFF COMBS THE
DESERT FOR SECRET OF
MURDER
Texas Oil Mans Skull and Burned
Papers Widely Separated

Sheriff Johnny Moore and a par
ty of deputies have combed the
desert ahd western foothills of
the White Tanks Mountains and
can find no evidence to add to
the handbag that once belonged
to John ]. Knight and to the skull
with gold-filled teeth, believed to
be that of >the missing Texas oil
man.
Bag and skull were found near
each other, but fully 10 miles from
the point where Knights car was
abandoned in the sands of the
Hassayampa rivers western bank.
Soon after the disappearance, d
suitcase that had belonged to Mr..
knight was found in the Buckeye
canal, while papers it had con-
tanned were identified in the asd-
es of a fire in which they had
been burned.
Tt is believed, however, that
this feature of the mysterious
case was added by persons, pre-
sumably hunters, who stole the
suitcase from the car and who had
nothing to do with Knights dis
appearance or murder. 1t is only
known THAI they were in Ford
car.-The sheriff has had no res
ponse thus far from q chart OF
the skulls teeth, sent to Dallas.
There is understanding that the
$4,000 reward offered by Texas
relatives has been withdrawn.

PERFORMANCE OF WORK
AND PRIZE FOR COMPOSER

For the first time in the history
of the United States there is at
least a mild financial incentive
for a composer to devote his time
and attention to the highest form
of musical production, that is a
composition of symphonic order.
The way was blazed when the Ma
tional Federation of Music Clubs
sponsored the Offering of a prize
of $1,000 by w. A. Clark of Los
Angeles Orchestra.
Mrs. Gertrude Ross, herself a
composer of national reputation,
and an officer of the National Fed
Grafton of Music Clubs, was in
strumental in securing this prize.
Since then musical publications
have developed other prizes so
that an aggregate of $4,000 might
be earned by the successful con-
testant providing the single COM
positions were eligible to both
contests; an arrangement which
has not been perfected as yet.
The history of symphonic com
position has been one of little or
no return for the composers. The
fee usually paid for the first per-
formance is seldom sufficient to
cover the cost for printing the
score. Any new symphony is ex-
traordinarily fortunate if it is
played three or four times during
the course of the entire season IN
the United States.
A feature of special Importance
to composers in connection with
the prize offer Of the National
Federation of Music Clubs is that
a performance is guaranteed by
the Chicago Orchestra, Mr.. Stock
conducting, and by the Symphony
Orchestra Of Los Angeles. This
assurance to the composer is of
greater significance than all the
prizes being offered. 1t is said of
the genuine musical enthusiast
that he would rather be played
than paid"

HANG ON TO WHAT you HAVE

HANG ON TO WHAT you HAVE
George H. Maxwell, executive di-
rector Of the National Reclamation
association, who is guarding Ari-
zona's and nations rights in the
Colorado river before the United
States Senate committee on irri-
cation in Washington, D. c., has
the following to say in reference
to the recent Colorado River Tri-
state compact proposal of the Ari-
zona committee of five to Nevada
and California:
This proposed treaty of five with
California and Nevada is nothing
more than a covertly concealed
endorsement of the Heard plan, or
practically the p Ian Governor Hunt
vetoed last legislature. Now if
you can find who is the power be.
hind the Heard plan, you will be
able to guess who is behind this
plan.
They know the compact is beat
en- and now they are trying to
work out scheme to bring it to
life
Everybody here in Washington
now admits, or knows in his heart
while he whistles through the
graveyard" that Arizona cannot
be buncoed unless they can CO.
cree or belude her into ratifying
the compact
This proposed treaty is drawn
for the purpose of paving the
way for a future ratification of
the compact.
You will recall the fable of the
dog who dropped the bone he had
I in his mouth in order that he
might 6 rab at it in the shadow
in the water.
Moral: Hang onto what you
have!
In this treaty (proposed) as in
the compact, Arizona snarls her
self all up and gets nothing in
return.
She doesn't even get the benefit
they pretended she got from the
compact
+ The proposition stultifies every
position Governor Hunt has ever
taken.

COOLIDGE WORD ECONOMY

The latest Coolidge story, char

words, was told on the Presidents
train travelling to Chicago.
AS told by one of his friends,
this is the story:
President Coolidge attended
church some time ago unaccom-
panied by Mrs. Coolidge. On his
return to the White House, Mrs.
Coolidge asked him whether the
sermon was good, to which he re-
piled, YES"
What was it about?"
Sin"
What did the preacher say
about it?"
He was against it."-New York

REGULATI Of
GOAL HIT

There IL no justification for legis-
Iation affecting the production and
distribution Of anthracite or btu
minous coal without regulating
also coke and liquid fuels, Roderick
Stephens, OF New York. reported to
the ninth annual convention Of the
National Retail Coal Merchants As
ISOLATION, which opened today at
the New willard Hotel.
Certainly, he said. "the prices
OF coke and oil have fluctuated as
widely as either anthracite or
bituminous and IL the basic idea OF
coal legislation ID to protect the
public against shortage Of supply
and against high prices, there Is
every reason why coke and oil
should be included in this program"
Forecasting the probable form Of
legislation to include Governmental
collection and publication Of coal
statistics, Mr.. Stephens said 1t was
likely also that the Interstate Com
merce Commission would be given
authority to control distribution
through issuance of priority orders
In time of emergency.
j. Maury Dove, jr., local coal
dealer, who Is chairman OF the
convention committee, said, before
the meeting formally opened, that
resentment Of local dealers over the
conduct OF the hearings last spring
before Congressional committees
probably would be given voice.
GROUNDWORK will be laid during
the convention, he predicted, to
avoid legislation adverse to the In.
dustry.
Delegates. numbering nearly 400.
gathered from the entire Eastern
seaboard and from as Tar West az
the Missouri River and from Can.
ada. Samuel B. Crowell, Of Phila-
delphia, president OF the associa-
ton, called the meeting to order,
and the morning session was taken
up with routine reports Of officers
and committees.
Engineer Commissioner Bell wei
coined the delegates on behalf Of
the city at q luncheon at the VIII.
lard, and the program for the
afternoon includes a visit to the
White House, where the delegates
will be received by President Cool
idge.
A visit also will be made to the
tomb OF the Unknown Soldier, and
tonight the visitors will take in
the Library of Congress, Capitol
and the Lincoln Memorial.

TEST On
AUTO LIGHTS

Although many motorists are TAX
ing advantage of the free headlight
testing station on E Street behind
the Traffic Bureau, Traffic Director
NJ. o. Eldridge today said that
more machines should be brought
in, as the ratio Of those mechan-
icalIy perfect is too low
During the week beginning May
8 the Traffic Bureau police aided
In the testing OF 253 sets of head
lights. OF this number only eight
were in accordance with the regula-
tons, while 20 needed repairs and
ITS needed adjustments.
1t is pointed out that the Traffic
Bureau officers are not equipped
to make repairs, but will assist in
making minor adjustments. Ed
ridge again urges the public to take
advantage of this service, which
Is furnished free Of charge and may
keep motorists from arrest for
light violation.
