Child Hygiene Meeting
In Winslow Next Week

Miss Rosa Bouton, home demon
stration agent, university extern
sion, will be in Winslow the first
of next week, in the interests of
her work in Child Hygiene. A
month ago Miss Bouton officiated
at the weighing of the children of
the Washington and Junior high
schools. At that time the serious
ly underweight children were issu-
ed red cards; the slightly under
weight, blue cards; and the average
weight, white cards.
The Mothers club and PIT. A.
have undertaken the task of weigh
ing the children each month until
the end of the school year, in this
way to bring to the attention of
the children themselves and the
parents the need of strong healthy
bodies.
On Wednesday afternoon after
one o'clock, Miss Bouton will meet
at the Washington building, the
mothers of the pre-school children,
will weigh and measure the chill
dren, and give such information
about their food and care as may
be desired.

At regular meeting of the
Winslow Woman's club held Friday
afternoon in the Guild Hall, very
interesting program, under the di-
rection of the Civic Committee, was

Mrs. John L. Sweeney, in very
interesting article discussed the
Ratification of the Constitution. in
which she recalled many of the out

A brief but instructive paper was

Hope Organizations
Will Be Represented
At Hospital Meeting

That every one in WinsIow may
have an opportunity to do their bit
of boosting for the contemplated
hospital here, the committee ap-
pointed last week to invite every
organization in the city to send a
representtive to the general COM
mittee meeting has been busy at
work.
The general meeting is to be held
in the City Hall on February 5th,
and the sponsors hope that all re-
ligious, fraternaI and other bodies
and organizations will send a rep
resentative instructed as to the
sentiment of his organization to-
wards such hospital, that a con-
clusion may be reached as to what
support may be expected.
The undertaking will need every
boost that can be given, from one
who can give a boost of any sort.
The matter of the urgent neces--
sity for a hospital here is known
to all, and an establishment that
will stand as potential life-saver
to everybody in the community de-
serves unanimous backing, it is
pointed out by. the hospital spon-
SOrS.
Hard facts regarding sources of
revenue for local hospital will
be furnished by the committee ap-
pointed for that purpose, and a
more direct step forward NAV be
taken at the general meeting.

MEETING TUESDAY

A revival of interest in Legion
activities was evidenced by the rec
ord number of men who attended
the meeting of Frank Perkins Post
last Tuesday night The meeting
was opened by Commander Darl-
ing with the solemn, formal exer-
cises.
To get in touch with Legion ac-
tivities at department headquarters,
Commander Darling will attend the
annual Commanders and Adju-
tant's Conference at Phoenix, on
February 19 and 20.
Winslow Boy Scouts received
their due share of the evenings
consideration, and committee was
appointed to reorganize Troop No.
l. This troop has been sponsored
by Frank Perkins Post for the last
three years, but interest has lag
ged somewhat since the resigna-

they have secured the services of
Jack Lindsey as Scout Master for

sented in Boy Scout activities.
Local Legionaires have not for
gotten their training of 1918 as
KP's and Mess Sergeants, as was
proved at the end of the meeting,
when the Post was called into the
banquet room. A feed of chill,
crackers, and beer had been pre-
pared by the kitchen detail COM
posed of Bill Brassil, B. D. Clark,
and Geo. Creswell. Hearty approx

all present, as the crowd had not

FARMERS SHOWN
In BAD SHAPE

That the farmers of the nation
are not enjoying a period of pros
perity was definitely shown at the
interstate commerce commission
hearing at Kansas City, on the pro-
posed freight rate increase, accord
ing to Amos A. Belts, member of
the Arizona corporation commits
sion, who passed through Winslow
last week on his way to his home
in Phoenix, after spending nearly
a month at the session.
The showing made by farmers
opposed the claim made by the
railroads in their application for a
rate increase that the farmers of
the nation were prosperous and
would not feel the burden of in
creased rates.
According to Commissioner Belts
the testimony taken at the hearing
showed that the condition of the
farm industry in the nation is at
it's lowest ebb since pre-war days
and that the farmer is struggling
to make production costs with no
profit in view.
The briefs in the case will be
submitted in 80 days and oral argu-
ments will be held in Washington
later. The final decision of the in
terstate commerce commission will
be handed down, Mr.. Belts believes
in May or June.

INTERESTING TALK
ON NAVAJO INDIAN
LORE HEARD HERE

An interesting address on Nava-
jo Indian lore was delivered We'd
nesday before the Winslow Rotary
club by ROtarian Dick Bruchman,
chairman for the day, who is an
authority on Indian lore, which was
not only unique, but something
never before heard here, or. prob
ably in Arizona. While it is i'm
possible to give the full text of
Mr. Bruchmans address, following
are the high spots" of Mr.. Bruch-
mans talk:
The Navajo Indians were discov-
cred approximately 375 years ago
by the Franciscan Fathers who
came over from Spain by the way
of Old Mexico. These Indians, Of
course, were savages at that time
and needless to say these mission
aires met with many difficulties.
many of them were killed by the
Indians until the Indian was sure
that these Pahanos (white mem :,
were not going to harm them.
"The Navajo is reluctant in plac-
ing confidence in new acquaint-
ances," to illustrate this "a num-
ber of years ago 1 asked a Navajo
how he liked, and what he thought
OF the new government Indian
agent, he replied, How do l know,
he has only been with us two
years
According to the last census
there are thirty-five thousand Nav
aJos. Their reservation consists of
eleven thousand square miles and
lies directly north of Winslow with
small portion of it in northwest
ern New Mexico. 1t is well for any,
one not acquainted to go we'll pro-
vided with water when making a
trip to the reservation. There are
a great many springs all over their
country but they are not easily
found by the Pahanos. Most of
these springs are undeveloped for
the reason that the Navajo is not
fond of work. The government
however, has developed a number
of these springs for the Indians.
The Navajo nation is self sup
porting. In the year 1868, when
our government made a treaty with
these Indians they gave them sew
eral thousand sheep and goats, to-
day they have in the neighborhood
of one million sheep and goats.
Each year they sell several hun
dred thousand sheep besides SELL

wool, the average weight of the

ASKS RE-ROUTING
OF CEDAR SPRINGS
AND DILKON MAIL

Re-routing of mail from Cedar
Springs and Dilkon through the
Winslow postoffice instead of thru
Joseph City, due to the condition
and sometimes impassibility of
present roads used on that route,
is being asked by Postmaster A. r.
Kleindienst, following investigation
of conditions, and from communi-
cations received from Postoffice In
spector PRESLEY of Prescott, indi-
cations are that the postoffice de-
partment will make the desired
change.
Not only is the route much clos
er from Winslow, it is pointed out,
due to condition of the roads, but
there will be more regularity in
service through Winslow, than by
the present arrangement
Mr.. Kleindienst is taking the mat
ter up with the department at
Washington and Inspector Press
ley is expected to be in Winslow
shortly to make a personal investi-
cation of the matter.

LOCAL HIGHWAY
EMPLOYEE INJURED
WORKING ON ROAD

When the rake with which he
was spreading gravel was struck
by speeding autoist Wednesday
afternoon, w. Zumwalt, employe of
the state highway department, was
painfully injured.
The driver of the car who gave
his name as w H. Forester of Ell
Paso, Texas, kept on toward Flag
staff, believing that Zumwalt had
tossed the rake near the Ford as
a joke, and not realizing the man
had been hurt, he testified in JUS
tice court here yesterday.
A phone call to Flagstaff by
City Marshal c. W. Harp, result
ed in the detention and return Of
Forester to Winslow, where the
case was settled amicably before
Justice Sam Proctor, Thursday
morning.
Zumwalt was reimbursed for
time lost from work and doctors 5
fees, and charges against Forester
in justice court were dropped.

NAN
.ACQUITT
ON CHARGE
OF MURDER

After a strenuous trial lasting
three days, in which between thir-
ty and forty witnesses were uues-
toned, in the superior court of
Navajo county at Holbrook, A. B.
Edwards of Winslow, was acuuit
ted late Monday evening, follow
ing short deliberation by the Jury
which heard the case.
The Edwards case aroused con-
siderable interest in Winslow, due
to peculiar circumstances sur
rounding the case. Edwards was
alleged to have shot B. Woodmansee
on his premises late on the night
of September 4th, the effects of the
shooting resulting in the death of
Woodmansee.
At about that time there had been
a good deal of agitation, owing to
several 'Peeping Tom" scares.
According to testimony, a neigh
Dor reported to Mrs. Edwards that
she had seen man prowling about
the Edwards premises. When Mr..
Edwards, who is a brakeman, re-
turned from his run the next even
ing, and was apprised of the fact,
he asked officers for protection,
but according to the testimony, was
told that owing to the many de-
mands, it was impossible to guard
every house.
Testimony further showed that
on returning home, Edwards went
into his garage to secure his gun,
which he had left in his car, and
while there, saw man in crouch
ing posture stealing along the lawn,
When the man rose to look in the
window, Edwards challenged him,
at the same time trying to focus
a f1ashlight on the persons face.
Evidently wishing to avoid de-
lection, the man jumped to one
side, then dashed at Edwards, who
then fired the shots that were sup
posed to have killed Woodmansee.
Testimony showed that Edwards
was unaware of the identity of his
victim, and when Woodmansee was
found in house nearby where he
had made his retreat after the
shooting, with two bullet wounds
in the front of his body, it was
assumed that he was the man shot
by Edwards, although Woodmansee
refused to make statement.
Edward was defended by Attor-
neys McCauley and Geary.
Josephus Perkins, accused Of
theft of cattle, was discharged af-
ter the court had instructed the
jury to return a verdict of not
guilty, the state lacking sufficient
evidence to convict.
Cleburne Creswell pleaded guilty
on charge of stealing a calf, and
was given a suspended sentence.
The case of Jim Donohoe, charg-
ed with the killing of Lynn Bald
win last December, is scheduled to
start this morning, an extra jury
panel having been drawn. He will
be defended by Attorneys Jordan,
Geary and McCauley.
In the case against Al Huges,
which was on trial Tuesday and
Wednesday, the jury reported late
Wednesday they were unable to
agree and were dismissed.

WINSL0W'S NEW $4,000 GAS PLANT
is CREDIT TO A CITY TWICE THIS SIZE

common or garden variety, which
process removes tar, and then has
tens into small "roundhouse"
where iron-oxide renders it prac-
tlcally odorless. But one more
bath must be gone through with
before the gas is clean enough for
Winslow homes. Last is the "oil-
scrubber," which removes all Nap
thalene, and, clean as gas can be,
it goes into the big $4,000 foot ca
pac1ty tank to await your pleasure
That's not all. The water scrub
bing yields rich return in al
most pure carbon. The lampblack
thus removed is used to augment
the coal supply, cutting coal con-
sumption to such a fragment of it's
old figure that $4,000 a year will
be saved on fuel alone. After re-
moval of the lampblack the water
is used over and over again-an-
other saving effected.
The hay is seldom changed. but
when it is, the tarry stuff makes
another high grade combustible.
Oil and Napthalene from the oil
scrubber are carried back to the
pumps and used to regenerate gas,
and furnish heat for that purpose.
In short, the saving over the old
plant operation is enormous. What
waste there is could be hidden in
a hollow tooth, and the plant may
well be used by much larger COM
munities as model.
Modern, economical, producing
better gas than ever, able to pro
duce enough to take care of Wins
lows certain growth for years to
come, the plant is a wonderful tri-
butte to progress, and all Winslow
should boost and be proud OF it.

ROTAR|ANS TO
BACK LOCAL
COMMUNITY
CHEST MOVE

Realizing the need for an organ
lied system of funding various
charities and welfare bodies, the
Rotary club at their meeting We'd
nesday voted unanimously to back
a community chest for Winslow
after motion to that effect had
been made by Rotarian Sam Proc
tor.
Such a system has been proven
efficious in cities and towns all
over the country, it was pointed
out, and with the Rotary club be-
hED5 it here it should be as great
a 81 3cess in Winslow, not only eff
fecting an organized system of fl
nancing but instituting saving
over hap-hazard methods of dona-
tion to various public-supported en-
terpriSes.
The matter of reviving the Boy
Scout movement in Winslow was
held in obeyance, pending the out
come of the community chest drive,
since the financing of the Scout
movement will be included, with
other organizations, from the chest.
Several Rotarians have promised
to go to Flagstaff Tuesday, Feb
ruary End, to attend the Arizona
State and Sectional Regional Scout
conference, which was awarded to
the Grand Canyon council some
time ago.
The Rotarians approved the hos
pital movement and DR.. P. D.
Sprankle was appointed to repre-
sent the Rotary club at the gener-
al meeting to be held in the city
hall next Friday, February 5th, to
consider the matter of financing a
hospital for Winslow.
DR.. G. P Sampson was elected
vice-president and Homer Vaughn
elected director to fill the vacancies
caused by the resignation of w. L.
Martin and Chas. Daze.
Following the business session,
an extremely interesting program
was presented by Dick" Bruch-
ma chairman of the day on Nava-
jo 1adian lore, a further report of
which will be found in another

won't wonder why everyone is ask
ing, "Say when are the foremen
going to treat us to another real
good timer"
The banquet supper, deliciously
prepared by the ladies of the Bap-
fist church, was served shortly af-
ter o'clock by said ''fair ones"
and included chicken, creamy
mashed spuds, hot biscuits and lots
more "easy to eat" things, all of
which was topped off" by pump
kin pie, blanketed with whipped
cream Gust like mother used to

comparatively small crowd to en-

tion of importation was steadily put
aside, with the result that negro
slaves from Africa continued to en-
ter this country.
Mrs. G. T. Stevens described the
ratification of the Constitution and
the time taken before all the states
accepted the document, and the or
der in which they came into the
Union. She was followed by Mrs.
Hansen, who accompanied by the
rest of the club members recited
from memory the preamble to the
Constitution.
Following a general discussion
from the floor, it was decided that
the great American document was
on a whole, American composition,
and not copied in the most part,
from the laws and regulations set
forth under the English govern
ment.
Mrs. w. L. Martin, chairman of
music, announced that following 4
plan originated last year in the To-
cal public schools by Miss Hortense
Miller, instructor of music, a music
melody contest would be started in
the club, and as the first number
on this contest program, Mrs. G.
T. Stevens, gave brief history of
the composer, Benjamin Godet and
his "Berceuse" from the opera
Joselin She then gave a piano
rendition of the selection for the
club members. The object of these
contests, as outlined by Mrs. Mar
tin, is to familiarize the club mem
bers in the famous melodies of not
ed composers, and in their source
and history in the field of music.
The plan was originated some
time ago by Mrs. OrbendOrfer, not
ed chairman of music of the Gen
eral Federation of Women's clubs.

BY GEORGE LAWS

Winslow's second five thousand
population can come right in and
be sure of gas aplenty, according
to facts given at the plant last
week by Manager Steinert to
group of visitors. This fine little
plant, the most modern in Arizona,
need run only every other day to
supply present needs in this season
of highest consumption.
In the new plant are incorporated
many that were formerly waste by
products which mean a big saving
in operating cost and altogether it
is p credit to Winslow and to Mayor
DE- Slas and the council who fost-
cred the new plant construction.
Manager Steinert made an ex-
haustive survey of other plants in
the state before work was begun,
and selecting the best features of
each combined them with ideas of
his own origination. Appliances
that make gas better and safer, and
effect real economies, are feature.
The trip through the plant is an
education. The making of gas is
. = itself thoroughly interesting
process, and is worthy of more
complete and technical exposition
than we are able to give. Simply,
it is this: After being heated by
oil, and famed to brighter heat
by air from a power fan, fire-bricks
which form the inside of the gen
orator are sprayed with oil after
all oxygen is shut off from the
generator. The gas thus formed
is sent into three scrubbers, ;"
boiler-like containers, where water
sprays wash the9gas first, remov-
ing all lamp-biack.
The gas then passes through hay,
