Y. w. G. A. Finance Drive This Week
The annual finance campaign OF
the Douglas Y. w. C. A. with goal
of $4,000 will take place this week,
March / to 6. Beginning Monday
and ending Saturday large group
of enthusiastic workers will raise
munity Since the Y. wv. c. A. is
essentially a service organization, it
is not self-supporting and depends
upon the community for which t
exists for its Financial support and
maintenance The amount to be
raised is based on carefully pre-
pared budget Of expenditures, based
on actual expenditures of 1925 as
well as those estimated for 1926.
That 50 per- cent of the total
amount is spent on direct service
to the community, the town of Doug
las, is shown in an analysis of the
budget. This service includes use
and loan of building and equipment,
maintenance of a full-time secretary
directing the activities, and a pro-
gram of activities administered
through Various Douglas women as
committee chairman, providing physi-
cal, social, mental and spiritual train
ing to Douglas girls and women.
Summer conference and the biennial
convention expenses make up six per
cent of the total of $4,000, together
with the Douglas contribution to-
ward the work of the national Y,
w. c. A.
A safety fund.- constitutes 7 the
other II per cent of the total amount.
This includes the participation by
this association in the "secretarial
retirement fund" and a reserve ac-
count of $500. At present the Y.
w. c. A. is compelled to run without
any savings account as reserve for
emergencies; a procedure which the
board feels to be both unbusiness-
like and dangerous.
AS finally approved by the board
of directors, the budget for 1926 of
the Douglas Y. W. c. A. stands as
follows:
Items giving direct service returns:
General secretary, salary .... $500
Maids wages ..s.............. 500
Rent of building ............ 500

A TIP FOR THE ROSS

The trouble with so many plans for
Improvement of industrial relations
is that they don't fit different condi-
tiOns in different Industries.
A junior executive once approached
William A. Wood, late president of
the American Wooden Co., and asked
for an increase in salary. Mr.. Wood
explained that they were very hard
pressed for money since they were
putting up some new mills, ''but," he
suggested, "I'll tell you what I'll do
I'll name a mill for you" This is
said to have satisfied.
The incident was used here and
there to show how an executive can
by resOurcefulness meet situation
A big knuckled laborer driving a
team Of horses came to the head of
the truck department, saying he had
to have more money. The manager
scratched his head and then reaching
out for the magic formula of re-
sourcefulness replied

ey, but I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll
name a horse after you"
The head of the truck department
still wonders why this man quit

ceived about 10000 more votes than
his three rivals combined. When the
early returns were coming in it was
thought that light primary vote had
been cast but final returns showed
that the vote was twenty-five per
cent increase over the primary vote
of two years ago. A significant fea-
ture is that the Republican vote jump
ed from 23S,469 of two years ago to
410,176 votes this time, a gain of ov-
er III 900 votes. At the same time
the Farmer-Labor vote slumped off
from 204,735 votes of two years ago
to 152,436 at the June primary, or a
loss of over $4,000 votes. There was
an unmistakable trend from the third
party strength to Governor Christian
son. While an effort was made to
swing much Third Party strength to
Leach, an analysis of the vote by
counties indicates clearly that thous-
ands who had voted the Farmer-La-
Dor ticket two years ago went to the

LEFT TURN METHOD
DEFINED BY LAW

Do you know how to make a left
turn on highway with heavy traf-
fic? 1t is very simple e you know
the state law, says a bulletin from
the Minnesota highway department.
The law relative to left and right
turns is as follows:
An operator intending to turn to
the left shall drive along the center
of the roadway and slow down, and
shall extend his left arm in a hori-
zlntal position or give some other ade-
quate signal in such a manner as to
be clearly visible to operators or
vehicles travelling in the same or OPP
posite direction, and if there are no
other vehicles which will be obstruct-
ed or endangered by such turning,
ne may so turn and drive to the left
Any operator intending to turn to
the right at an intersection shall drive
to the extreme right of the highway
when approaching the intersection
but shall not make right turn when
another vehicle travelling IN the same
direction is on his right"
4LAS lucIIlOu 1Or making
left turn is considered by traffic ex-
perts as safest and the one which
causes least obstruction to traffic
This rule is put in force generally by
city ordinances or police regulations
IN the eastern states where traffic is
heavier. Many Minnesota motor
tourists, however, are not familiar
with this rule, and it is a common
practice to slow down, go to the right
of the street into the slower NOV
ing traffic before attempting a left
turn. This makes it necessary TO cut
through the rapidly moving traffic
near the center of the street, or wait
until there is a gap. This is both
dangerous and obstructs traffic.
Minnesota motorists returning from
Chicago have informed c. M. Bah
cock that the police in Chicago stop
all machines with Minnesota tags and
ask the drivers if they know how to
make left turns. Those who know
the Minnesota law are questioned no
further, but others are given instruc-
ton in making left turns A series
Of accidents, caused by Minnesota mo-
florists doing the wrong thing when
making left turns, resulted in the or
der to the police to give the drivers
pointers.

polls and called for Republican tick
ct and voted for Christensen, Nolan,
Hilton and other state officials. This
bears out what many have contended
that large numbers who have voted
the Third party ticket the past cleo
ton or two have not considered them
selves other than Republicans, who
have been protesting against candid
ates and conditions which they did not
like. Now that they have man in
the governors chair who meets up
with their expectations and is carry
ing out a policy that they approve OF
these voters are back on the job with
their votes to endorse him. If the
Republicans use ordinary precautions
and put forth reasonably rainstaking
efforts in the fall campaign, Cover
nor Christianson who male a primary
record run will duplicate the per-
Torrance in November.

A THOUGHT FOR
THE "BUY LOWS

A IHOO6Hl FUN
THE "BUY LOWS"
Suppose some morning all OF your
customers refused to buy from you
unless you cut your price to a point
below actual cost. Such a clrcum-
stance would be distressing. Ii you
met their demands, you would go
broke; if you did not, and therefore
suspended selling, your expenses
would soon bring to you the same end.
Very sad, indeed!
However, if not only your custom
ers, but all customers Of all firms
should simultaneously decide that they
would no longer pay a profit for what
they bought, the result would be dis
astrous. The recent general strike IN
Great Britain would be mere child's
play compared with this.
There are few men who do not de-
sire that those from whom they buy
make legitimate profit, but shouls
this by any strange chance be reat
by one of those who stage continuous

KEEPING COOL IN
WARM WEATHER

Hot weather is bad for every one,
particularly children and babies. In
warm weather, mosquitoes and flies
that carry diease germs flourish. Bac-
terra are also more active, so it is I'M
portant that food be protected by
screens from flies, kept cool and
clean, and well cooked or washed be-
fore eating. This is especially ZOE
baby's milk, vegetables and his other
food.
Besides keeping the food uncon-
terminated, one must eat more care
fully during the hot summer days.
Less meat, eggs and cheese, winch
stimulate the heat production OF the
body, and more fruits and salads ana
cold dishes should form the summer
diet.

SMITHSONIAN PARTY HOPE DECIDE WHERE
 INDIANS CAME FROM
EXPEDITION COMING TO ALASKA THIS SUMMER TO SEEK
 DATA ON THE SUBJECT

WASHINGTON, D. C., May An expedition that may uncover traces of America's first inhabitants will be undertaken by the Smithsonian Insti- tuition this summer.
 Headed, by Dr. ]. Walter Fewkes, chief of the bureau Of ethnology, the institution will send mission into lower Alaska to search for evidence fo migration to America from Asia centuries ago.
 There is no doubt in my mind" :" said Fewkes, that America from said Fewkes, that the first emi- grants crossed to America from Asia, via Boring strait. We must find the remains of cooking utensils, brok- en spears, broken tomahawBs, ebc., that they left behind"
 While searching for evidence of the first settlers, Fewkes wiR have sev- eral other groups of scientists al work seeking additional Information [ on the American Indian and AmeT1- can food products. At the present time he has an expert investigator in Santa Barbara, Gal, running down disappearing languages"
 Fewkes is particularly anxious to find out how old the American h. dian is, and when he came to this country.
 we must find out" he said, whether he came here by way of Australia or by way Of Boring strait. However, he came here, and we have the other problem to deal with. Did he come singly or in hordes, clans or in some other way? That leads Us into the question of migration.
 There is one thing which I think is very evident, that, however he came here, he lived for a certain length of time under the environ ment which made him an American Indian and differentiated him from other races. 4 good man people contend that the American Indian was a Chinaman,"
 Culture of the Indians, Few9es said, is rapidly passing.
 we are on the eve Of the des1ruc- tion of all that was interesting, scientifically, outside Of psychology, in the American Indian. Now we are turning into the investigation Of the past history and the character of the aborigines when America was discovered.
 Fewkes believes the cliff dweIleS and the mound builders were the di- rect ancestors Of the Indians who were living here when the white race came. Investigators of the institu- ton, Fewkes said, have discovered a ruin that dates back as far as 300 B. c.
 Another mysterious question that Fewkes wants to solve is how long it took the first settlers in this country to develop edible fruits or roots, such as the potato and Indian corn.

Rotarians Enjoy
Boys Week Program
w e ednesday Noon

Winslow Rotary Club enjoyed a
boys week program headed by
Rev. Hessell Chairman of the day
at it's regular meeting Wednes-
day.
Addresses made by George Mil
ler, Deputy Regional Scout Execu-
tive on Boys work and Boy Scout
activities, and by P. T. Liljedal, of
the Winslow High Schools rela-
tive to the need of more co-opera-
tion with the adults of Winslow in
boys work activities, were the fea-
lures of the program. Mr.. Liljedal
advocated community club re-
creational building for the benefit
of the boys of Winslow, also a COM
unity swimming pool. Rev. Hessell
also made a brief address on boys
activities and the program was
one well worth hearing.
Mayor Fred Douglas was the
guest of the club and explained
the accomplishments and aim of
his administration. The club was
host to a number of guestss includ
ing several Rotarians.

OPPONENTS OF CITY ADMINISTRATION
FILE INJUNCTION AGAINST MUNICIPAL
ICE DELIVERY; HEARING SET MONDAY

Someone has made the state
ment that this council has spent
the sinking fund which has so far
been provided to apply on the pay
ment of outstanding bonds when
they fall due. This is not a true
statement. We have withdrawn
$1O,829.19 from the bank and in
vested it in Town of Winslow,
Street Improvement Bonds which
pay 6 per cent interest Arizona
State laws provide that any town
may invest its funds in the bonds
of any municipality, county, state
or of the United States. In view
of this authority we consider it to
the advantage of the people of
Winslow to have their money in
vested in their own bonds and
drawing per cent interest in
stead of having it deposited in
bank and drawing only 4 per cent.
All of the bonds we have invested
money in mature prior to the date
of maturity of any general bonds
which must be paid from the pres
ent sinking fund.
Considerable has been said in
regard to our installing So new or
namental street lights, it being the
opinion of some that taxes will be
increased by this expenditure. Pay
ment for these lights will be made
from the taxes collected for 1925.
If the people objecting will look
up their tax receipts for 1925 they
will find that the Town of Wins
low tax rate was reduced from $1.30
to $1.254 per hundred dollars of
assessed valuation or a reduction
of 312 per cent in the tax rate, and
saving of approximately $1,000
to the tax payers. The state laws
provide that no Town can increase
it's budget more than ten per cent
over the actual expenditure of the
previous year. Even if budget was
increased this ten per cent and the
assessed valuation of the Town OF
Winslow did not increase through
the building of new buildings it
would increase the tax rate only
so 0.067 per hundred dollars of assess

uation of the average property
holder this would increase his
taxes only slightly more than one
dollar per year. Most people seem
to lose sight of the fact we men,
bers of the council are property
owners and must pay taxes the
same as everyone in the town.
When city taxes are increased, so
are ours"
Should the proponents of the in
junction be successful in prevent
ing the city from engaging in the
ice delivery business it will prob
ably leave the city without ice for
some time, unless the contract
which they now hold with the San
ia Fe is assigned to someone else
and whether they would maintain
the same prices as fixed by the city
or go back. to the former prices
charged by the company is prob
lematical, it is pointed out.
Signers on the bond filed with
the injunction proceedings are Mrs.
Della Hunter, w. c. Quebedeaux
and Mrs. Jas. Hickey.
