avirlg In Northern
Arizona Is Coming
Rotarians Are Told

Information relative to highways
in Northern Arizona, and matters
relating to constructing, pending
projects and methods of raising
funds, were heard Wednesday by
the Winslow Rotary club, when d.
l.. Bundy, district engineer of the
State Highway department, who
was the guest of o. H. Dunlap,
chairman of the day, addressed the
club.
Mr.. Bundy, dealt mostly with
highway development in Navajo
county on the state system and dis
cussed roads and construction that
will come under the proposed state
highway bill that will appear on
the November ballot.
He said that there is no doubt
but that if the bill carries that it
will mean that the Old Trails the
entire distance through Apache,
Navajo and Coconino counties will
eventually be paved due to the fact
that gravel surfacing and subse-
quent maintenance is so expensive.

this part of the state and mainten-
ance costs in the neighborhood of
half of the cost of paving, Mr..
Bundy said, and the life of grav-
elled road is not comparable with
that of pavement.
Mr.. Bundy explained that work
is now going on at Canyon Padre
and gave the status Of the paving
being done by the forestry depart
ment on the Flagstaff and Angel
project. He also explained the
status of highway funds as regards
Northern Arizuala:
Dick Bruchman, secretary of the
club, who had just returned from
Williams, where he attended the
Presidents and Secretary's confer
ence, made a splendid report of the
conference covering in detail mat
ters of Importance to Rotarians that
had transpired at the session.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
PLANS METHOD TO
GAIN MEMBERSHIP

Efforts to make Of the so-called
WinsloW Commercial Club an Or
ganization that will in actuality
belle it's name, will be started at
once, following a decision reached
Tuesday night by meeting of the
board of directors of the temporary
organization. This organization
has never been more than a nusleus
seeking to bring the entire pOpula-
tion of Winslow into club planned
to work for the city's interests,
and the necessity for complete CO.
operation has been stressed
throughout the early life Of the
club.
1t was pointed out at this meet
ing, which included not only busi-
ness men, but private citizens con-
nected with the Santa Fe, that Win
slow is strictly a railroad town,
made up Of railroad men and de-
pendent on these men for it's exist
ance, and that the organization
could not be considered representa-
tive of the city as a whole unless
members of the railroad organiza-
tions could be prevailed upon to
take an active part in the work.
Among other things suggested, it
was said by several that the name
Commercial Club" should be
changed, since the body is not com
mercial in the strict sense of the
word, but is an organization plan
ned to boost Winslow and the coun-
ty along every angle, to strive for
the betterment, in every way, of
living conditions around us How
ever, for reasons connected with
outside relationships, it was deem
ed best to retain the name, since
local people will understand that
the word commercial" could we'll
be left out, and the club called the
'Winslow Club"
In every case of civic boosting,
the word commercial is a feature,
and to gain recognition from SINH
lar clubs over the state and coun-
try, it is necessary to retain the
original form.
A report of the secretary showed
the clubs finances to be equal tC
the demand upon them, and showed
that the club, even in it's prelimin-
ary stage of building, has been able
to send to the outside world reports
of progress here, and advantages of
residence in Winsolw.
Individual memberships are not
to be costly. Money is necessary to
carry on work of this kind, but the
actual amount is small The small
sum Of $1.00 a year was considered
ample for individuals, with bust
ness houses paying in proportion to

ICE DELIVERY is
DISCONTINUED BY
CITY FOR WINTER

Starting today the Municipal Ice
Delivery Service, which has fun
ctioned all summer to the profit
of both the city and the public,
will be discontinued. although spe-
cial orders will pe delivered TO
any address in the city. This ac-
ton was taken by city clerk Muir
ply on the order of the city coun-
Gil, after ice sales were shown to
be falling off.
Only one of the city's ice trucks
will be operated through the VIM
ter, which will be sufficient 70
take care of all commercial users,
and to answer calls from the resi-
Dental districts.
The cooler weather early this
week caused an abrupt decline in
the demand for ice, it is reported.
The peak of the ice business was
reached in July and August, and
the sales are expected to decrease
steadily through October, at the
end of which month the regular
winter minimum of sales will have
been reached.
The big ice rush closed with the
city better than $4,000.00 ahead on
the proceeds of the summer busi-
ness, instead of $3,828.00, as was
reported last week.
In case any ice users wish to
use ice through the winter they
can leave a standing order at the
city hall, and in case ice is desired
by a non-regular user, the order
should be phoned in to the city hall
before 1000 a. m. of the day the
ice is wanted

p Stuart, it's chairman, made pub
lie the "planks" of the platform as

tion the platform committee pledg-
ed the party to oppose the Colo

river. We particularly pledge our
candidates to resist the passage of
any law which would enable fed
eral governmental agencies to de-
velop the river prior to a determin-
alton of the rights of Arizona in
that stream"
Adverting to the tariff, the plat
form denounces the Republican
copper protective scheme under
which ARIZONA has more to lose
and less to gain than any other
state" The committee said the pro-
posed copper tariff would mot be-
kept any more than was the posi-
tive promise of a permanent tariff
on long staple cotton"
The party pledges itself to in

ward the creation of a bureaucratic
form of government" and favors
the preservation of local self-gov-

governments. The party reaffirms
it's pledge to support any enact

HOW IT STARTED
"At Skies and Sevens. "
BIZ JEAN NEWTON.

She's all at skies and sevens," peo-
pie say, when the wish to describe a
state of confusion, of disorder, of en-
tanglements and mix-ups. The phrase
is an apt one and is commonly used
in everyday speech. Though smack
ing of slang, it has an old, time-hon-
ored literary history!
"At skies and sevens" can be traced
all the way back to Chaucer, the four
teenth century English poet who is
sometimes called the father of English
literature. 1t is in his famous poem
of "Troilus and Cresseide," in book iv,
line 623, that we find the first re-
corded use of our now popular phrase
in the form Of set all on six and
seven"
That the phrase was accepted in
very early days as popular and COM
monty used saying. is proven by its in
clusion in Heywood's "Proverbes.' %
the first collection of English COLO
quail sayings. published in 1916. There
it appears as set all at sixe and
seven"
Shakespeare, too, put the stamp of
approval on the phrase, when in the
second scene of act two in Richard
II he used in almost our modern form,
AT six and seven.'

EVERYDAY QUESTIONS

China. despite her frequent civil

der past. Yet she endures, and they
have disappeared in the fury of thar
own blasts of battle.
Justice, fair dealing, humility, the
absence of undue self assertion, and
the wise avoidance of needless COZ

b "Salt is good, but If the salt

(c) Have salt in yourselves and

Answer--St. Mark groups together
in the ninth chapter of his Gospel
and the forty ninth and fiftieth ver-
SEES these three distinctive sayings OF
our Lord. They were probably spoken
on different occasions, and are COM
bined here because of their common
use of the metaphor of salt.
The first saying alludes to the
Jewish practice of sprinkling salt on
certain sacrifices in order to purify
them.
The second saying shows that the
Christian who has lost the essentials
of his faith is comparable to SAVIOR

The third saying reminds US thai
Jesus, like the Jews, sometimes spoke
Of the divine laws that govern HUI
manA life as salt. Their precepts i'm

and preserve peace.
The three sayings form a climax

Mercury or quicksilver is such a
lively LIQUID that 1t Is hard to realize
that it is just as much a metal as iron
or copper. With difficulty 1t can be
frozen to a solid state; the fact that
1t boils at such a high temperature

more useful in thermometers than
any other substance. Unlike other
liquids, it does not wet any object
1t touches; you can put your finger
in ii and take 1t out completely dry.
Unlike other liquids. too, 1t is so dense
and has such high surface tension
that many objects that would sink
In water would float on mercury.
But If swimmer once dived beneath

Another Day Coming.

It is all right to live as though each
day were the last, but imagine that
those who do SO are in fear of being
called to judgment. Living under fear
and dread cannot be good for anybody,
even those tuned so spiritually high
that they are daily prepared to enter
eternity. A mood like that would
soon render mothers unfit for work
If they maintained it for even a day
with regard to their children. Yet
some Of them do, and go to the hos
pttal for rest and recuperation.
Better train children in the hope of
another day. They are going to live
a long time, and you will, too, If you
are careful to husband your strength.
When the child does something ap-
palling like using his Sunday school
money for sodas, helping himself to
money from your purse, using Ian
guage with freedom and abandon,
playing truant, answering his mother
impudently, hold on to yourself. There
is another day. You don't have to
make a finished job of the child for
lifetime yet. God is going to let
him have his full time to grow. Bet
ter not try to hurry.

Such rapid loss of weight as Mrs.

In addition to all the other errors Of
this unknowing and harmful schedule
followed by Mrs. NJ. H, the frank

ing any residue. There was no waste

Any one who is excessively over

serious disease. But it is harmful to

method. Nourishing but non-fatten-

How Doctors and Nurses Keep Well

What Is the secret which enables
doctors and nurses, intimately ex
posed to disease every day, to es-
cape as a general rule?
The answer to this question, which
people still ask is that doctors and
nurses do not escape infection. except
by certain specific diseases against
which we have available the means
of immuniZation.
In Durand Hospital, John McCor-
mick Institute for Infectious Dis
eases, Chicago, the nurses formerly
had diphtheria rate of 13 per cent.
That may seem large, but it is really
a low rate as compared with the ex-
perience of other large hospitals for
Infectious diseases. But high or low,
it was too much, and the physicians
of the hospital decided to improve
the record.
Schick tests were made on sos
persons, mainly nurses and medical
students, and 563 had positive re-
actions, PAS negative. The positive
reaction means that the individual is
without immunity. The negative re-
action means that he has sufficient
immunity to protect him against the
danger of diphtheria.
In these tests the usual preponder-
ance of immunity among urban dwell
ers, or the usual preponderance of
susceptibility among rural residents
was manifest. Thus among the per-
sons residing in rural places 70 per
cent showed positive reactions
among the persons residing in the
city only so per cent showed positive
reactions. Children in the. country
are always more susceptible to dipb-
iberia than children even in the most
crowded and "unsanitary" parts OF
the city; the reason for this is prob
ably that the city children acquire a
certain degree of natural immunity
from more frequent exposure to
slight infection. They have more
chances of contact with diphtheria
of an undiagnosed or perhaps irregu-
lar type.
This proponderance of suscepti-
bility to diphtheria among country
children, or greater prevalence Of
immunity among city children, is
good evidence to support the belief
that immunization against diph-
iberia, by the toxin -antitoxin treat
ment, protects the person for many
years, even though the immunity or
protection thus conferred may gradu-
ally wear off or diminish. These
nurses and medical students had not
been 80 treated. but some Of them
had acquired their natural immunity
in childhood. in the way just ex-
planned.
In ALI 2ss persons were given the
