NEW YORK, March 81 - Movie
smoke bombs to overcome the dead

indicator, invented by Lieut.. Comdr
Richard +. Bryd, will play an i'm
portant part in the Byrd Arctic
expedition. Two hundred smoke
bombs will be used as land targets on
which to train the airplanes drift

the surface OF the ice will serve, but
where level snow fields preclude shad-

or risk drifting off his course.
Comdr Byrd will leave New York
Monday on the Chantier on his first
northWard lap.
The Miss Josephine Ford, the FOX
ker monoplane named for Henry
Ford's granddaughter, has been
found TO consume less gasoline than
expected, which will make possible
considerably longer flights than had
been reckoned upon.
Comdr Byrd's plans call for series
of short flights, first from Spitzbergen
to Peary Land, thence to the Pole, re-
turning to Peary Land, then to un-
known regions in the west and back.

FIRE DAMAGES

PRESCOTT-In a suit brought
by the United States of America

court before Judge Fred c. Jac-
obs, the Saginaw and Manistee

part of the state was named as de-
fendant.
The suit involving principle of
responsibility and the duty of the

ing in the control of fires on the
national forest, is for damages to-
falling $159.41 for three fires al

gines of the Saginaw and Manistee

IS acres were burned over and

Arthur 7. La Prade
Making Vigorous
Race For Office

News of the campaign of Arthur
T. La Prade, candidate on the
Democratic ticket for the office of
Attorney General of Arizona, is es-
pecially interesting to voters in
Winslow and Navajo county, since
Mr.. La Prade is a product of Wins
low. He was born and reared in
this city, the son of F. I. La Prade,
a pioneer cattleman of Navajo and
Apache counties, and received his
preliminary education in Winslow
public schools.
Mr.. La Prade's further education
was attained at the Northern Ar1-
zona Teachers College at Flag
staff, and at the University of Cal
ifornia at Berkeley. During the
war he was in the service and is
now a member of ex-service mems
organizations.
Three of his outstanding achieve
ments while county attorney of
Maricopa county, are printed here:
June II, 1925, Mr.. La Prade won
case in the Supreme Court OF
Arizona Estate VS. Superior Court
defining powers of the Board of
Pardons and Paroles. This deci-
sion prohibits the releasing on par
ole of any prisoner from the Ari-
zona State Prison whose minimum
term has not expired. This has
been the law since statehood but
has been totally ignored by the
Board of Pardons and Paroles
heretofore. Of this Board the At
torney General is member.
June 2, 1926, Mr.. La Prade won
a case in the Supreme Court OF
Arizona Estate VS.. McKelvey) de-
filming the powers of Superior
Court judges with reference to
prisoners sentenced to the county
jail. This decision establishes the
law to be that no Superior Court
Judge or justice of the peace may
suspend the execution of any SEN
tence where the prisoner has there
tofore been sentenced to the county
Jail.
July IS, 1926, the Supreme Court
of Arizona handed down an Opln-
ion in the case of State VS.. Meeks,
a case appealed by Mr.. La Prade,
holding as contended by Mr.. La
Pre6e, that the drawing of check
on bank in which the drawer has
no funds or insufficient funds, is
felony regardless of whether the
check was given for an immediate
consideration or given in payment
of a past due Indebtedness.

Scout Executive
Waldraven Meets
Local Committee

Meeting with the district COM
mfttee on Boy Scout work in Wins
low last week, Robert Waldraven,
scout executive for the Grand Can
yon council, outlined vigorous
and comprehensive program for the
coming year, planning among other
things drive to finance scouting,
and a Fathers and Sons banquet.
Definite dates were not set for
either of the events
The opening of the school year
will mean an increased interest in
Scouting, Waldraven pointed out,
because summers counter attrac-
tions to Scouting will not have to
be contended with, and the ban
quet is planned as an opening
wedge to arouse interest. Scouts,
their parents, friends and guardi-
ans, and all interested in the move
ment will be invited to attend the
banquet, which will be similar in
style, and probably will be handled
under similar conditions, as the
Rotarians' father and son banquet
some time ago.
AS no movement of any size can
be directed without funds, it is ne
cessary that a drive to finance
Scouting will take place within a
short time, and the local financial
committee will start Immediately
to plan such a campaign for sub
scriptions.
Representative men of Winslow
are behind the scout movement,
finding it to be a worthy cause,
and their interest has done much
to promote the organization here
and make it. attractive to the boy
hood of Winslow. Each year finds
more boys enlisted under the scout
ensign, and more men taking an
active part in scout leadership, and
the committee hopes that this year
will not fall behind the improve
ments made in the past.

APPEAL MADE TO CIVIC PRIDE In THE
BEAUTIFICATION OF WINSLOW STREETS

Through the appeal made to the
children of school age, urging of
elders to assist and publicity stor-
les in the press, the tree commit
tee of the Winslow Woman's club
have worked hard and long during 9
the past year to interest local resi-
dents in civic pride and in beautl-
flying the home city.
Situated as Winslow is, the urge
for tree planting and other foliage
Identification cannot be stressed
too strenuously, and with this fact
facing them, and the results OF the
past year in the little tree planting
that has been done, as an example
and incentive for "The City Beau
tiful'' campaign, the committee
went about their work. Looking
over their records, and checking
up on ther Accomplishments, the
chairman and her assistants admit
with deep regret that the drive was
almost failure.
With the contemplated campaign
for the beautifying of Winslow, by
the planting of trees, during the
fall or at least concerted drive
in the spring, they are now going
about their preparatory work, with
added zeal, and will not let their
task be defeated by the discourag-
ing results of the first campaign.
Among the many objections and
excuses offered by tenants, land
lords and home owners, the two
most prevalent are that children
destroy the young trees by swing
ing on them and that cows, stray
ing into the city limits, kill many
by browsing.
From recent investigation, it has
been shown that through the lee
lures given at all the schools of
the city, boys and girls have
learned to large extent to admire
and protect the aids to beautify
their homes and those of their
friends and neighbors, and that
very few reports have been turned
in relative to this destruction. The
committee also state that reports
naming destruction by stray cattle
are not as numerous as some time
ago.
Since these two hazards have
been removed, the committee feel
that parents should be further urg-
ed to begin their tree planting, an
appeal to the civic pride of the old
er folks in cooperating with the
children is being made inasmuch
as the ones who have been reached
through the schools show a great
deal of enthusiasm.
1t has been very appropriately
suggested that two trees, prefer
ably cotton woods, since they are
a quick growth tree, be planted on
each fifty foot lot, and later, after
these have had a good start, or at
the same time, if desired plant
Chinese Elm or some similar long
lived tree between the cottonwoods.
Little water is needed for three
outside trees, it is pointed out, and
if landlords stress the necessity to
their tenants of keeping the trees

alive, much progress can be made
in the identification of our city, it
is believed.
With the yearly drives repeated
it is pointed out that, with our mar
row streets, we will soOl have
shade trees which will spread their
softening shadows entirely acrcss
the thoroughfares besides enhanc-
ing the beauty of town situated
in the desert.

LEGISLATION NEEDED

With the ball that was. in use 10
years ago, the distance of 235 feet
from the home plate called for a
worthwhile swat to produce a home
run.
This is proved by the fact that
such great hitters as Frank Baker,
used to lead the American league in
home runs with a total of eight or
nine for, the season.
While every fence or stand in the
majors is more than 235 feet from
the home plate today, the lively ball
has made it a soft matter to get
home runs, that on good-sized play
ing fields would be easy outs.
