design in the Overland Whippet are
bound to change your whole ccncep-
ton of light Car mechanical features.
Its high-torque motor of 31s-inch
bore by 43s-inch stroke, is by far the
most economical light car engine
made inAmerica. tactually develops
more horsepower per cubic inch of
piston displacement and pound of
car weight than any other light
4-cylinder engine.
1t has an So-lb. torque this
means greater pulling power -. the
ability to master hills without shift
ing gears.
Because of this greater efficiency,
the motor of the Overland Whippet
costs more to build yet less to main
tain than any other light car engine
made today.
The Overland Whippet is the only
light 4-cylinder car that has the mod

Heav~ Shows In
Northern Arizona
Is Weather Report

Light to moderate rain over
the desert sections and moderate
to heavy rain and snow at higher
elevations has resulted in steady
improvement of nearly all stock
ranges of the district. Stock
generally has begun to respond
to improved conditions of feed and
water and the soil in most Sec
tons is well moistened assuring
in more areas. a sufficiency of
spring feed. On the upper Gila
River, in the Thatcher section,
the range is fine, grass good and
stock fair. The water. stock and
range in Santa Cruz county are
all reported good. An abundance
of running water is available in
the Whiteriver section and stock
is in good condition. Water and
grass are ample for spring needs
at Pinedale but rain is badly
needed to replenish water tanks
Nine inches of snow fell at Will
Jams during the recent storm but
disappeared rapidly. Twenty
seven inches cover the ground on
the north rim of the Grand Can
yon. General improvement OF
range, water and stock is reported
in western New Mexico.

To Start Work On Last
Six Miles Of The San
Francisco Peaks Blvd

AS soon as heavy snow on the
summit of the San Francisco
Peaks melts work will be resumed
on the last six miles of the San
Francisco Peaks mountain boule-
ward, according to w. J. Weather
ford, builder of the road.
Work on the last end of the
road will be rushed to hermit, if
possible, travel to the summit of
the mountain this coming summer.
Enough of this great scenic boule-
ward into the sky has been COM
pleted to permit motorists to reach
a high altitude and obtain a view
over broad expanse of country.
A short hike from the end of the
completed section of the road
leads to the summit, though the
automobile road will take longer
course to reach the top and avoid
heavy grades.
The new highway up the peak
will, it is believed, become more
popular than the automobile road
up Pixies Peak. The view from
the Arizona mountain far sur
passes that from the Colorado
peak.

SUE FREDERICKS
ON BANK. STOCK

PRESCOTT-R. N. Fredericks,
former president of the Prescott
State Bank and its heaviest stock
holder, was made the defendant in
a suit to collect $28,90O, when the
state banking department filed a
complaint seeking Judgment for the

tory liability on 289 shares of the

The action was brought by Ellis
and Byrne at the request of Homer
r. Wood, ex-official receiver for the
bank, and is the forerunner of sew
eral others Of a similar nature.
Two additional suits will be filed
against Fredericks within the near
future, one for judgment amount
ing to $4,000 for stock held in the
Commercial Trust and Savings
bank, and the other for judgment
of $4,000 for stock in the Bank of
Jerome, of which he also was presi-
dent. Frederick's total liability in
the three banks which were closed
by the state banking department
on last November 25, totals $65, 100.

board of regents, is requested by
the Tucson Ministerial association
in a letter addressed to Governor
Hunt, President Cloyd H. Marvin

The request for an investigation
will be taken up at the next meet
ing of the board of. regents, accord
ing to E. E. Ellinwood, president of
the board, who declined to comment

Cow Eats Mash
And Staggers
Off EInbankment

BISBEE-Eating quantity of
bran mash which had been run
through a still seized in the foot
hills near here, a thoroughbred
range Hereford cow, the property
of Charles Miller, local cattleman,
staggered around for several min
utes and finally plunged over six
foot embankment to it's death, ac-
cording to a story told by w. A.
Mcdonald, deputy sheriff of Cochise
county.
The story was verified by two
eyewitnesses, who said they
thought the COW had eaten loco
weed and had gone mad from the
effects. They called Mcdonald to
shoot the animal, but before he
arrived the COW had plunged over
the cliff, breaking it's neck.
The still had been seized several
days ago while in operation, and
officers dumped out the bran mash
near where it had been concealed
few yards from spring. The
COW, apparently, had come to water
and found the mash which it de-
voured with the subsequent .disastr-
Gus results.

Representative URGES
KOSHER MEAT SALE BILL
Samuel Dickstein Says Some Deal
erS Mislead Public as to Ma
ture of Product Offered.

Representative Samuel Dickstein,
Democrat, New York, appeared yes
terday before subcommittee of the
House District committee urging ac-
ton upon his bill to regulate the sale
of kosher meat in the District. Mr.
Dlckstein said that he had put
through a similar measure in New
York after a two-year struggle, where
he had to fight a powerful lobby COM
posed Of men selling meat for kosher
who tok ordinary meat that sold for
and 10 cents a pound and sold it as
kosher at 80 and 35 cents.
he lntimated that a similar lobby
is opposing the passage of this meas
ure in the District. Mr.. Dickstein as
serted that 1t is difficult now to con-
vict for false practices.
He told the subcommittee that there
are $4,000 persons in the District who
must use kosher meat If they live up
to their faith, and nearly as many
non-Jews who use kosher meat. He
emphasized that his bill seeks only
to prohibit dealers from exhibiting
kosher meat signs when they are not
actually displaying kosher products.
He pointed out that the pure food act
does not cover the situation.
He told the subcommittee that the
New York statute had been declared
constitutional when carried to the
United States Supreme Court, where
the decision covered the ground thor
oughly.
