Meats and Objection

Meat is composed Of muscle, con-
nective tissue, and fat. The muscle
fbers are composed Of thin walls
which contain the building material
for the body; water, mineral salts and
extractives. These fbers are held to-
gether by little tissues and between
these little muscle flbers are bound to-
gether, and the more fat the meat con-
tains the more indigestible the meat.
Hence, pork Is more indigestible than
beef. The digestive juices have a
harder time to penetrate the closely
bound pork fibers.

Symbol Of Liberty

The Phrygian cap, or liberty cap.
was a peaked headdress worn by the
ancient Phrygians, and when placed
upon the heads Of slaves became 4
token Of their freedom, thus becoming
symbol Of liberty. During the
French revolution II was made the
marx Of a patriot" and Louis XVI
was compelled to wear 1t in order to
show his agreement with the peoples
desires. The cap appears on the head
Of the goddess Of liberty on some of
the coins Of the United States. and has
also been adopted by some foreign
countries and included In their coats
Of arms.

City Orders Signs
For Speed Limits
And Meteor Crater

Winslow with it's new motorcop,
evidently intends to give tourists
and Arizona motorists a "fair
shake" for city clerk Murphy has
ordered signs to be placed at prom
inent places on Second and Third
streets near the city limits, warn
ing approaching drivers of the
speed limit and the penalty for
fracturing it.
The signs are to be the fegu-
lation metal, and enamelled in
colors calculated to attract the eye
At the same time the speed
limit signs were ordered, the city
also ordered directional signs for
tourists passing through town and
also for the Meteor Mountain.
These signs will be placed at Can
yon Diablo and other points on the
highway, giving the distance to the
meteor crater and mountain.
Signs at the junction of the high
way and the road to the Meteor
mountain will call to the attention
of the motorist the location of the
scenic marvel.

ELLINWOOD OUT
FOR GOVERNOR
ATTACKS HUNT

E. e. Ellinwood, pioneer Demo-
crat of Arizona, president of the
Phoenix National Bank and senior
member of the law firm of Ellin-
wood and Ross, Wednesday announ-
ced his candidacy for the office of
governor on the Democratic ticket.
Declaring that his political race
will be much against his personal
desires and that he enters politics
only at the insistent demand of a
large number of citizens Mr.. Ellin-
wood outlines his views on prob
lens in Arizona.
Opposition to the Boulder Can
yon damsite, a declaration for a
dam with both ends on Arizona
soil coupled with an attack on
governor Hunt and his secretary,
H. McCluskey, for their alleged
activity in melting quarrels with
other states and the state legis-
lature is a feature of the an
nouncement.
The candidate says he believes
that his experience as an attorney
and banker will be of benefit in
solving the Colorado river problem
which he characterizes as a legal
and financial one.

SANTA FE WATER
LINE COMPLETE
EXCEPT FOR PUMPS

Contracting forces of the Ware
Construction company, Los Angeles
engineers who were awarded the
contract for the construction of the
Santa Fe water line from Clear
Creek to Winslow, were called Off
some days ago, and the "all clear"
signal given to write finis" to a
great piece of engineering work.
The line itself, which is part open
acpueduct and part concrete cul-
vert, is finished, and all that re-
mains is to install the electric
pumps that will carry the water
from settling basin near the old
gas plant to the roundhouse.
This project, which definitely di-
vorces the Santa F7e engine supply
from the city water supply, has
been under consideration for some
years, and its completion adds a
new convenience to the Santa Fe
and protection to Winslow's water
supply.
Before the new canal, which will
bring water direct to the round
house from the body of the creek,
was completed, the engine supply
was drawn from the same reser-
voir as the city water, and brought
through the same mains. The wa
ter consumption of the city, plus
the engine consumption, emptied
the reservoir every two days, and
in case of emergency, only a two
days supply was available.
With the new system in opera
tion, no water is drawn from the
reservoir for the engines, and in
stead of two days supply, the
city now has on hand an amount
of water sufficient for twelve days
in case of emergency. At the same
time, the engines function as be-
fore, since filtered water is not
essential to a locomotive.
Approximately ten weeks were
taken in the constructing of the
line, which was considerably less
time than was deemed necessary
when the undertaking was started.
The Los Angeles contracting firm
were under the supervision of di-
vision engineer r. c. Kline, who
was assisted by other Santa Fe
engineers.

VOTERS APATHETIC
ONLY $50 REGISTER
In WINSLOW SOFAR

Only a third of the total voting
strength of Winslow has registered
so far, according to an announce
ment made this week by Lucretia
w. Flanagan, recorder of Navajo
county. The figures show that Re-
publicans are outnumbered more
than three to one by the Demo-
cratic voters, with only two voters
REGISTERED with no party affilia-
ton.
The interesting political situa-
tion facing Arizona voters this year,
with promise of a hot contest
for practically all state offices, has
apparently left the bulk of local
voters cold. Several legal meas
ures will be on the ticket for an
expression of the opinion of the
people, and these amendments and
rulings, which affect all of Arizona
coupled with the races pending for
office, should prove attractive
enough to draw almost every voter
to registrars office.
The tabulation shows: Demo-
Gratis registered, 42S, Republicans,
139, no party 2.

Legion Barbecue
At Blue Ridge To
Be Held Sunday

No more waiting! The picnic
and barbecue at Blue Ridge, which
is to be presented by the local
post of tthe American Legion to
celebrate the construction of Win
slows new camp ground at that
place, will absolutely appear Sun
day, after preliminary program
to be given Saturday night for such
as may care to make a two day
jaunt of it.
For several weeks, since forest
ranger Frank Buster first announ-
ced his intention of establishing a
Camp for Winslow people, the
Legionnaires have planed the big
feed, and their appetizing propa-
ganda has caused everyone who
likes the out-of-doors and a good
feed to mark June 18th of on their
calendar as a red-letter day.
For the benefit of those who have
not made the trip to BLY, ranger
station or Blue Ridge, the legion
made log of the road, and where
ever necessary, have raised dir
ectional signs. Leaving Winslow
cross the tracks west of the round
house, and continue south. DON'T
turn off at the old road, which
leads west. Go through Sunset
Pass, past Quail's ranch, and on
to Bly, ranger sta ion. From
there the remaining ten miles is
signed as far as Blue Ridge camp.

COUNCIL APPOINTS
GEORGE HAINES TO
SPEED COPS JOB

Following the decision of the city
council to employ motor cop to
handle traffic in Winslow and vi
cinity, quick steps have been taken
to secure a motorcycle and to ap-
point the officer. The motor bike
was received this week, and the ap-
pointment of George Haines to the
position was announced at the same
time, and as soon as the new ma
chine can be gotten ready for SER
vice, Haines will begin operation.
In his capacity as an officer of
both Winslow and Navajo county,
Haines will be empowered to make
arrests anywhere in the country, al
though the majority of his time will
be spent in the city.
The board of supervisors have
signified their intention of creating
a speed limit on the road from
Winslow to Clear Creek, after it
was brought to their attention this
week by F. B. Douglas, of the city
council, that the narrowness of the
road, and it's increasing burden Of
summer traffic constituted a men
ace to motorists.
Haines, who for some time has
been employed by local concern,
has had experience in the past in
the handling of traffic as motor
officer.

Santa Fe Employe
Dies While Asleep

Walter Mcconnell of Winslow,
an employee of the Santa Fe, was
found dead last week in bunk
on a work car at Valley Siding,
a few miles from Prescott. The
coroner's report was that McCon-
nell had died of natural causes.
The deceased was employed as a
painter, and with H. B. Sears,
foreman, was engaged in painting
signs and houses along the line
between Prescott and Ash Fork.
The night before Mcconnell died
Sears motored to Prescott to buy
supplies and on returning called
to Mcconnell, but hearing no ems
wer, decided the man was asleep.
The following morning, however,
Sears investigated, and found that
Mcconnell was dead.
Mcconnell was fifty years of
age at the time of his death. He
is survived by a son in Texas.

CITY GAS PLANT
RETAINS STEINERT
AS ITS MANAGER

Due to an oversight, the story in
the Mail last week concerning the
reappointment of incumbents to
city jobs did not mention the ap-
pointment of B. w. Steinert to his
position as manager of the muni-
cipal gas plant
At the first meeting of the new
council, Steinert's appointment was
declared by a unanimous vote of
the council, and his efficient and
effective regime praised highly by
all council members.
Steinert's mechanical ability and
his knowledge of the gas plant s
machinery have saved a great deal
of money for the plant fund, &C
cording to members of the council
who recommended his reappoint-
ment, as have the many other de-
vices which Steinert has installed
to make use of the by-products of
the plant which were formerly ig-
nored.

lively session and an interesting
program last Wednesday while
considerable discussion was also
had relative to several projects in
which Rotarians are interested.
The program committee announ-

Camp Scouting At
Mormon Lake Will
Start This Week

W1nslOw will be we'll represented
at the Boy Scout camp at Mormon
Lake, which starts Sunday, accord
ing to word given out this week
by local members of the Scout
Committee. Up to Wednesday,
| nineteen scouts had made appli-
cation for reservations at the camp
and more are expected to come in.
Under the direction of Robert
Waldraven, new scout executive of
the Grand Canyon Council, the
scouts will enter camp life Sunday
to spend the week absorbing the
lore of their organization under the
pines. The yearly camps are held
to provide time to concentrate on
scout teachings and advancement
from one rank to anther.
Two Camps will be held this
year, one at Mormon Lake for all
scouts in the council living west
of Holbrook, the other at Lakeside
for the benefit of scouts in Hol-
brook and the eastern section. The
camps are officially named Camp
Scouting" and Camp Lakeside" !"
Rotary club members and other
citizens interested in the scout
movement have volunteered to as
sist the executive in entertaining
and instructing the lads in camp,
and delegations of the volunteers
will visit the camps from time to
time
Arrangements for transportation
of the Scouts and their camp bag
gage has been made V. H. Driver
of the Standard Bottling Works
will take in the neighborhood of
ten boys to Flagstaff leaving here
early Sunday morning. Others will
leave on train no. 8. At Flagstaff
all the boys will be met by Scout
Executive Waldraven and his COM
mittee who will take them in
charge and together with the Flag
staff and Williams Scouts they will
be taken to the camp.
Camp Scouting is located on the
west side of Mormon Lake just
south of Babbitt's Point and the
road leading to it is in good shape.
The boys will be in camp by Sun
day afternoon and Winslow people
who happen to be at or in the vic
unity of Mormon Lake are asked to
visit the camp and see just how
the boys are being cared for. Par
ents, especially who can are asked

COMMUNITY !
CHEST DRIVE
IS UNDER WAY

Another week should see the
completion of the Community
Chest drive, according to members
of the committee and volunteers
who are lending their support to
the movement, although the drive,
which will cover the entire city,
is taking considerably more time
than was expected, owing to the
small crew of workers.
Since the Chest drive. which is
planned as community affair,
and in which the donations asked
are relatively small, must of nee
essity be supported by all members
of the community to make it
successful, this drive will remain
in progress until the solicitors
shall have seen every resident.
AS there is no way of accurately
calculating just when this object
may be reached no time limit has
been set for the drive.
The broad appeal of the chest is
helping to make the percentage Of
subscriptions received almost per-
feet. There are few indeed who
will give nothing to charity or for
welfare work, and an organization
that helps every worthy charity
and welfare organization, as the
chest does, cannot fail to receive
support from the entire commun-
ity.
A larger sum can be raised
through this method, since there
is only a small overhead expense
in collecting, and the net amount
available for charity is much
greater than if each organization
staged its drive separately. Also,
individual donations are small, be-
cause the chest drive reaches every
one in the city who is able to help
with a subscription
1t is pointed out by the workers
for the chest that it actually re-
presents a saving to those who
give to welfare and charity, since
it does reach people who are will
ing to give, but are seldom reached
by Individual drives, and since it
furnishes a quick check on just
how much the donor has given
throughout the year. Only one
drive is put on in years time,
and no other drive is sanctioned by
the chest. Any charity not in
cluded in the budget can be pro-
vided for out of the fund esta-
blished for miscellaneous welfare
work.
Instead of a dozen small sub
scriptions in year, one compar-
atively small payment squares the
debt we all owe to those less fort
unate than ourselves, and the syst
elratic chest plan renders a service
to both charities and to donors.

'BIGAMIST ATTACKS
AND SLABS WIFE; is
GIVEN FIVE YEARS

After being knocked down and
stabbed twice, by her husband, Ce-
