This not chorus especially trained for pub

In addition to the chorus singing, school pupils

LOST LETTERS

IF a letter is worth writing it is worth addressing
properly" remarks newspaper, apropoS of the har
rowing statistics from the United States dead letter Of
flee.
In the fiscal year ending June, 1925, 100000
letters were destroyed there Most of them arrived at
that sad end because of incorrect inadequate address
or absence of the sender's return address.
Perhaps it is not always possible to the correct
address The writer may have lost the address needed,
or the person addressed may have moved. But there
be hardly for persons who are not
absolutely homeless globe-troters to fail to put
every envelope legible return address.
As the dead letter office observes, than H.
900 900 persons sent letters that reached
their destinations, and than 100000 persons
never received communications intended for them. And
many Of the lost letters were really important.
What can Uncle Sam do about it? Probably
more than he is doing already, which is carry
continuous publicity campaign, telling letter writing
citizens the necessity for those two simple things-the
complete correct address, if possible, and the return

GYPSIES HOLD UP
TRAVELLING MAN
NEAR HOLBROOK

A band of gypsies travelling in
caravan of 20 high powered auto
mobiles held up and robbed a
travelling man, whose name was
not learned here, Tuesday morning
between McNary and Holbrook, ac-
cording to report brought here
yesterday by DR.. H. H. Swigert and
wife of Denver, who narrowly es-
capped the same fate due only to
the fact that the Denver man step
ped on the gas when the attempt
to stop his car was made by the
gypsies.
According to the Swigerts they
were travelling toward Holbrook
through the forest north of Nc
Nary when they came to a spot in
the road with the gypsies' automo-
biles parked on each side of the
road with the gypsy women block
ing the roadway. DR.. Swigert who
was driving came to a stop and
four or five of the gypsy women
jumped on the running board on
both sides of the car and attempt
ed to grasp his arms. Sensing
their designs the Denver man step
ped on the gas and escaped, al
though chased for two miles by
one of the gypsies in his high-pow-
cred car, but the travelling man
who came along a few moments be-
hind them was stopped and before
he could escape he was robbed of
$85 in bills.
He reported the robbery to Sher
iff Diyelbess at Holbrook, who ar
rested the entire band as they drove
into the town shortly afterward.
They admitted the theft and the
money was returned. A 800 fine
was assessed on the woman ad-
mitting the theft, but she was re-
leased on payment of $40 with the
admonition to keep driving until
they were over the state line, and
the last seen of them they were
headed for Gallup full speed.

LAMP AWARD
ON Low BID

After an interesting session,
Councilman Holm opposing the
movement, the city council Tues
day night voted to accept the bid
of the Arizona Electric company,
local concern represented by L. j.
Bennett, on SO ornamental street
lights for Winslow's business dis
trict, assuring the city of sufficient
downtown lighting, which will fill
long-felt want.
Councilman Holm vigorously op-
posed the move to purchase the
ornamental lamps on the grounds
that the expense should not be
borne at this time, all coun-
cilmen excepting Holm, voting in
favor of the installation, although
Holm later voted with the rest of
the city fathers in favor of grant
ing the contract to the local cleo
trical concern for installation of
the lights.
No greater step in improving and
advertising Winslow has ever been
taken, the council agreed, and this
summer, besides the benefit to be
derived by residents of Winslow
through street lighting, thousands
of tourists will carry away a boost
for the brightest and pleasanest
little city on the National Old
Trails highway.
The Arizona Electrics bid, which
was the lowest of several received,
was $4,7S6.36 for the So lamps COM
plete, exclusive of concrete foun-
dations and trenches for wiring,
which will be put in by the city
at nominal cost.
The new gas plant was accepted
on the recommendation of Manager
Bert Steinert, who stated that the

Engineer Bob Lendecke, Mayor
Fred Douglas announced Tuesday
night, following the council ses-
sion
Several months ago permission
to use the fiat, was granted the

the city's new gas plant, action OF
the council was delayed until this
week when the city engineer was
authorized to proceed with the
work. Cost of the work of drag
ging and clearing will be neglibible

field and announced this week, fol-
lowing action of the council, that
he has been supplied with the prop
