One of the most brilliant social
affairs of the holiday season was the
Christmas dinner and dance given by
the Junior College students at the

Community Center hall has never
before been so artistically decorated
as it was at this time. Miss Louise
Beck who is specializing in interior
decoration had charge of both the
hall and table decorations which were
novel. The table decorations were
made up of lolipop doll caps with
flower favors and hand decorated
place cards to match. Miss Beck

that wasn't worth very much. Fox
fur, like everything else, responds to
the law of supply and demand, and
with many fox farms about the coun-
try the prices of fox fur decreased,
with the result that many of the
farms have been forced to quit.
Somebody made some money out of
it, of course, lot of it too, but it
wasn't the man who had faith that
there was big money to be made in
the industry. There is more real

times paid as high as three hundred
dollars for "prize-winning" buck
hare, and hundreds of people let go
of their money to the enterprising
promoters of the get-rich-quick
scheme. But the other people failed
to create an appetite for hare meat,
the fur didn't bring in anything like
what the promoters said it would, and
the industry went flat in a few years.
Then came the fox farming lure and
it was eagerly grabbed up-but
always with the great, and about the

People are shocked by the number
of autom obile accidents, but If a
record was kept of the number OF
close calls-accidents avoided by a
matter of inches-they would be
appalled,. People who insist upon
their right to walk along or stand
upon the heavy traffic roads at night
take big chances. Drivers facing
the glare of oncoming headlights
cannot see objects Immediately in
front of them. If you must walk
on the highway, walk on the left
side and face the traffic; if you must
park, park on the extreme edge and
keep the tail-light on; if you must
drive a team at night carry lights
These precautions won't eliminate
accidents but they will prolong some
lives.-EX.

About thirty years ago many
people were caught with the Belgian
hare craze, which flourished for a
few yeaars and then died, because
there was nothing to hold it up.
The last few years has seen the "fox
farming industry" grow up and now
that is going the way of the Belgian
hare industry. Thirty years ago
people were told that raising Belgian
hares for the market would bring
great riches, and the guillible some.

There is a persistent rumor In cir
culation that State Game and Fish
Commissioner Gould was figuring on
resigning or being deposed after the
first of the year. The many friends OF
the Commissioner in this section OF
the state feel that this would be a
mistake as he is filling the position
ably and to the credit of the admin
istration. "Jay" Gould has placed
the State Game and Fish Department
on solid footing and up to a point
where its operation is proving high
ly beneficial. To have him resign or
be fired at this time may not be ex-
actly to the benefit of the game and

BIG TURQUOISE

What is thought to be the largest
turquoise was exhibited here last
week by Mrs. Alice Palmer Hender-
son, ethnologist and traveller. The
Cibola, as it was christened by Flag
staff admirers, weighs 234 carats
and is beautifully lined with dark
matrix. But the most interesting
aspect of the Cibola is its history.
Mrs. Henderson recently returned
from New Mexico where she visit
ed the ancient village of Zuni. She
were several silver necklaces and 9TH
er native ornaments of Indian crafts
manship, which an old Indian whom
she was interviewing admired When
he reached up to handle one of the
necklaces, Mrs. Henderson saw this
large blue turquoise hanging under
his arm and Immediately realized its
uniqueness. After the usual tech
nique necessary in brgaining with the
red man she struck a trade during
which she learned the interesting
history. While delving among the
buried ruins under the 500 year old
village Of Zuni the grandfather of
this Indian had found the stone. 1t
was evidently a sacred piece because
there was no hole in it and its hiding
place indicates that it was fashioned
and used in religious rites by pre-
historic race.

the scenic beauty of Flagstaff and
surrounding country, but there is a
problem can't solve, and that prob
lem is this-why do the people of
Flagstaff take such little interest in
beautifying their homes?
Last year we tourists could UNDER
stand because there wasn't sufficient
water. But this year, we know it
isn't that, and you will pardon us,
dear readers, if we say, we have

We're so many lawns grown over with
weeds, SO few flowers, SO many tum-
bled down fences, and so many un-
painted houses. What's wrong?
we KNOW lawns can be made and
flowers raised here, for there are
some beautiful lawns, beautiful flow
ers and well kept homes. And when
we read in your fine paper about
the home beautifying committee and
the things they were going to do, it
made us glad for surely the ones
who are trying to beautify Flagstaff
should be encouraged. know Miss
