Of which were a Russian dance by
Virginia Stewart Of Gallup, and a
duet by Pearl Booth and Thelma
Griego, who had for acc0mpani-
ment, their ukuleles.
William Walcott, in a vocal solo,
"On The Road to Mandalay," was
acclaimed quite out of the ordin-
airy and was finally persuaded to
give an encore. The Jazz dance
number, "Who Wouldn't" by Agnes
Kelly and Opal McHood, took the
house by storm, and it was only
after three encOres that the local
girls were permitted to leave the
stage.
All numbers were we'll received
during the evening, and it was
pleasing to note that the troupe
from Gallup who so willingly came
down to assist in the performance
were well applauded and were ask
ed to give many encores. Their
| hearty reception here, and the
manner in which they were enter
tanned by William Nagle, proprie-
tor of the Acme, has won much
praise from Gallup people inter-
ested in the young people. While
here Mr. Nagle acted as genial host
to the young ladies, and made sure
that nothing was left undone, in
making them feel at home. In
cluded in the days entertainment,
was a trip to the Petrified Forest
and Painted Desert.
Miniature helpers in the Satur-
day night program were Little Miss
JOyca O'Iara, who acted as mis-
tress of ceremonies, assisted by
little Miss Patsy Black

CARRIER TO FIGHT
ANY REDUCTIONS

Withdrawing it's ap-
plication seeking to continue GER
tain freight and refrigeration rates
that were in effect before the new
main line railroad was opened, the
Southern Pacific company took ac-
ton that will result in the saving
of at least $150,000 annually for
melon and produce growers and
shippers in the Salt River valley.
The action came at the outset Of
the hearing opened at the state
capitol by H. c. Barron of the In
terstate Commerce Commission on
the Southern Pacific's application
to violate section four of the com
missions orders and thereby charge
higher rates in the Salt River val
ley than are in effect for points
west of Yuma.
PHOENIX-Flat denial that the
Southern Pacific company ever
promised the Salt River valley
lower rates in connection with the
building of the new railroad was
made by Attorney L. M. Bradshaw
of San Francisco, representing the
carrier at the Interstate Commerce
Commission hearing under way at
the state capitol, and the attor-
ney further asserted that the rail
road would fight every move
made to lower the present freight
tariffs or refrigeration charges be-
cause such reduction would open
up the entire subject of tariffs ap-
piled by the Southern Pacific, sys-
tenn"
The statement made by Attorney
Bradshaw did not come as part
OF the hearing, but was made in
answer to questions asked by
representative of The Arizona Ga
zette after the attorney sought to
prove by opposition witnesses that
no official of the Southern Pacific
had ever committed the railroad
to program of lower tariffs and
refrigeration charges in the Phoe-
nix district because of the new
line. The issue being threshed out
on the witness stand was the ex-
act meaning of full main line SER
vice" More than one witness
testified that the rail officials prom
ised full main line service but
the attorney pinned the witnesses
down to the specific question of
whether the officials promised "a
reduction in refrigeration charges
Dean Stanley, president of the
Stanley Fruit company of Phoenix,
was on the witness stand when
the hearing closed. He testified
that more than one high official of
the Southern Pacific had assured
him, both as a member Of COM
mittees interested in the subject
and as an individual, that the Salt
River valley would be granted
every advantage of a main line
when the new line was placed in

CHARLESTON
DAM PERMIT.
REQUESTED

PhoeniX@Another important Ari-
zona irrigation project began to
assume tangible form when John
F. Ross, COchise county attorney
filed application this week with
the state water commissioner Of
flee here for a permit to build
storage and irrigation dam at Char
lesion across the San Pedro river.
Commissioner Frank p. Trott is at
San Diego on sick leave.
An irrigation district, Mr.. Ross
said, will be formed next year and
an election held, probably in July
to float bond issue now ,esti-
mated by him at $2,0O0,O0O. Carl
Cleasant, who is now building the
lake Pleasant dam across the Aqua
Fria for what has long been known
as the Beardsley project, has had
q party of surveyors in the field, he
said this week since July /, and
will be ready when they have re-
ported, to talk definitely on the
amount of water to be impounded,
the area to be irrigated and the
dimensions and cost of the pro-
posed dam.
"The district which it is pro-
posed to serve,'' said Mr.. Pleasant,
"has been under partial irrigation
from diversion dams and by pump
ing for the last 35 years, but the
storms of last September washed
out most Of the dams. The land
lies at an altitude of about. $500
feet, where it enjoys summer rains
which make irrigation unnecessary
during July and August, the months
of heaviest water duty for other
and lower districts.
apples, the finest in the South
west pears and other decidious
fruits have been grown i'll the San
Pedro valley for years. The first
Valencia, better known as Span
tsh onions, grown in the United
States were raised there Onion
crops yielding as much as 10000
pounds to the acre have been har-
vested. The dam now proposed
has been talked Of for the past. five
years. l hope our survey may
give us a positive foundation of all
we hope"

Mining Companies
Lose In Smoke
Damage Appeal

WASHINGTON ~ The supreme
court Monday refused to review the
controversy between W. A. Jordan
and Sons and the United Verde
Copper LeoinpaEy over alleged crop
damage from smelter smoke in
Yavapai county, Arizona.
PRESCOTT-With the refusal of
the United States supreme court
to review the controversy between
w. A. Jordan and his associates
against the United Verde Mining
company and the United Verde Ex-
tension Mining company, the sec
ond such case in the history Of the
state was closed. ~
In bringing suit for damages al
legged to have been done by the
smelter to their crops, Jordan and
Sons had only one case as a pre-
cedent, that of Bills and Wills YER
sus the United Verde Extension in
1920. Identical suits were filed by
Jordan and Sons in the United
States district court, each for $751;
900 against the two companies.
The 1921 depression in the min
ing industry when the plants were
closed down gave the plaintiff OPP
portunity to prove what they claim
ed was the damage from smelter
smoke, and a jury of farmers
awarded them $1,000 damages
against each of the defendants. In
the first case batteries of plant ex-
perts, entemologists and chemists
were used by both sides. The Jor-
dan case was tried in 1924.
The ninth circuit court of ap-
peals at San Francisco last Septem-
Der denied the copper companies
relief from the verdict of the dis
trict court.

bacteria enter the body through the nose and throat and that the disease may be transmitted by contact with a person who is infected and who may cough and sneeze. There also are probable carriers of the disease who carry it about with them but who do not get sick with meningitis.
 Sets in Suddenly
 In meningitis the disease usu- ally sets in suddenly with head aches, pains in the back, loss of appetite, chills and vomiting and fever.
 The most important early symp- tom is painful stiffness of the muscles of the neck which may contract so greatly that the head will be drawn back. Sometimes there are tremors of the muscles and spasms of the arms and legs.
 Obviously a disease with such serious symptoms should receive the most prompt medical atten- tion. This Is absolutely tmpor- ldUl, SluCe tDc pHS HSSlClttl W III llIdhf an exact diagnosis by the use of the examination of the blood and of the spinal fluid, and will then apply the specific medical treat ment which has been shown to have great value in controlling this disease.
 Serum as Remedy
 The serum, the discovery Of which is accredited to Dr. simon FleXner, must be given as early as possible, in severe cases. being injected directly into the veins.
 When it is injected into the spine, as is usually done when the organism causing the disease is found in the blood, some of the spinal fluid is first withdrawn.
 Since the discovery of this serum, the death rate from his disease has fallen greatly, so that vast numbers of children are now saved who formerly would have died. The many serious compi- eating results of the disease also are thus avoided.

thought Mrs. Baker had eliminated herself from Mary's horizon. And l don't know what to do."
 There's nothing to do, for the present." Katherine said decidedly, and especially nothing for you to worry about tonight. l shall be on guard from now on and I'll warrant you"
 She broke off quickly and drew me into her own room with noiseless swiftness, almost closing the door, but keeping a tiny crack open.
 T heard that limp of hers in the upstairs hall" she whispered. If she's coming back into Mary's room I'll go in there immediately. But she may be going out. 1 can tell in q minute"
 Halting Footsteps
 She kept her eye at the crack of the door, while I, standing next her counted the halting footsteps of Mrs Baker as they came down the stairs from the fourth to the third floor and then, without stopping, went on down the next flight of stairs When we could no longer hear them. kath- crime finished closing the door and made a rush for the window, to which I followed her. We were just in time to see the tall figure of Mrs. Baker emerge from the house and walk toward the corner of the next street. When she had rounded this and disappeared in the direction Of the nearest subway station, Rather inc drew a deep breath.
 Did you notice anything odd about the old lady?" she asked.
 I considered a minute. Her limp wasn't nearly so pronounced as usual, was it?' I countercd.
 "She certainly was moving as fast as any ordinary woman could walk, ' she said thoughtfully, "and that settles two things in my mind. One that she's faking the most, if not all, of her lameness, and the other that she's in Q desperate hurry about something. But l want you to put her out of your mind for a few hours. I'll mount guard over Mary tonight-better have Katie bring up my dinner when she brings Mary's, and then I won't have to leave her a single second.

So do l, my dear" replied Mrs. Paddy. There is no particular req. son for 1t, but l feel that way. We may not be able to carry happiness out into the Great World, but we can wish it. What's that?"
 That" was a queer humping over their heads. Paddy grinned. Peter Rabbit is up there" said he. We haven't seen Peter since early in the fall, but as sure as that bark was good, Peter is up on top of our roof here, and he is humping 10 let us know he's there Move over my dear and I'll thump back with my tail"
 So Mrs. Paddy moved over and Paddy brought that great, flat tail of his down with a thump on his bed of splintered wood. Peter heard 1t. Peter didn't hear it very loud, but he heard it. At once he thump- | ed back again on the roof, and again Paddy replied.
 Now, had you been there to hear them, those thumps wouldn't have meant thing in the world to you, but they meant something to Paddy 1he Beaver and to Peter Rabbit. Yes, sir, they did so. When Peter dumped on the roof, ii meant Happy New Year down in there!' When Paddy thumped back with his tail, it meant Happy New Year to you up therc!"
 Of course, as I said in the begin ming, they didn't know it was New Years Day. so of course they didn't know that they were wishing each other q Happy New Year But they were signaling to each other just to let each other know that they felt friendly toward one another And after all, that is all that a New Year message does. Each knew that the other was friendly and that friendly feeling could contain noth- ing but good wishes. Now, what better New Years greeting could there be?
 After Peter went away Paddy the Beaver took a long swim under the ice. He swan over to his dam and looked it all over to see that there were no leaks in it. All the time he was aware of a happy feeling. He knew that a happy day had been made happier by friendly thumps on his roof that morning. Peter had dumped him a message of good cheer, and he had received that message. So it was that he had hap oily begun a new year.

Sketched today are two hats dc- signed for wear with the new Palm Beach sports frocks. The significant feature of each is a round, rather close-fitting crown. Both also re- veal a narrow brim turned down all the way around.
 In the upper sketch is a delight iuI model designed to accompany a pink angora jersey sports dress. 1T Is pale pink felt trimmed with il band of pink and gold ribbon. This IS practically the only ornament, as the crown is plain save for a horizontal crease across the center back. The narrow turned down brim is finished with two rows of stitching in self tone.
 The other model has an equally simple trimming but a more clab- crate crown. This section is dec orated with vertical pleats in ra- diating lines. And because Of the popularity of the yellow shades, this hat is canary yellow felt trimmed with a band of bright green grosgrain ribbon. Directly in the center front IS a green and yellow composition ornament.
 The hat in the upper sketch is pale pink felt banded in pink and gold ribbon. Green ribbon trims the yellow felt shape below.

Mrs. Bakers Limp Arouses Fresh
 Suspicions

SuspitiuilS
 Iknew that Katherine's mind held the same startled speculation as mine concerning the meaning of Mrs. Bakers presence in Marys room. We distinctly had heard the click of the keys in the doors and had surmised that Mary, with the nervous fear of an unguardcd room which appears to be hers, had risen and locked them as soon as we were out of the room.
 But. at Katherine's whispered news that she had seen Mrs. Baker coming out of Mary's door, fan tastic suspicion flashed into my mind. Had the click of those keys meant the guarding against un- known intruders or against the pos sibility of my sudden advent or katherine's into her room while Mrs. Baker was there? Yet that pre-supposed the far-flung possibil- ity that when Dicky's niece was car ried up to her room after her swoon, she knew that Mrs. Baker would soon be there. Or-had she sum- moned the queer fourth-floor lodger as soon as our backs were turned?
 We looked at each other with anxious. startled eyes.
 Did you speak to her?" I asked.
 "Yes although she tried to dodge me-" Katherine returned with q reminiscent little grin. But when she saw that she could not get out of speaking to me, she wanted to know if I knew that Miss Mary was i'll. Her manner was quite con- demnatory, as if we were neglecting the poor child. She explained care fully that she had just happened to drop in"
 Something Queer
 "Too carefully" 1 queried.
 Exactly" she answered. "I don't know, Madge-I cant put my finger on anything. but there's something queer going on, I believe, in which that Mrs. Baker is involved, and which I'm afraid Mary knows. Do you suppose the woman is mixed up in something-illegal-or shady = and has persuaded Mary to shield her? It is just the sort of crazy thing which would appeal to the child"
 I shook my head uncertainty.
 Its all Greek to me-" I confessed, ''as well as rather disheartening. l

Peter Looks for Paddy the Beaver
 By Thornton W. Burgess

Peter Looks for Paddy the Beaver
 By Thornton W. Burgess
 Anticipating ice and snow,
 The beaver doth his wisdom show. In days of plenty he prepares
 And nothing knows of winter cares.
 Old Mother Nature
 Not since before the coming of Jack Frost had Peter Rabbit been ever to the ponds of Paddy the Beaver. You know, Paddy used to have just one pond over there in the Green Forest. Then later he made another pond. When Peter last saw him, Paddy with Mrs. Pad dy and two of the children were cut ting food logs, getting ready for winter.
 At that time this had seemed a very foolish thing to do. It had seemed as if Paddy was going to a whole lot of unnecessary trouble. You know, Peter isn't forehanded. Peter doesn't look ahead. He is much more inclined to look behind than he is to look ahead. Paddy, on the other hand, looks ahead and behind. Out of the experience Of the past he prepares for the future. It is a pity that more people are not like Paddy.
 Now that there wasn't much to do, and few people to see, Peter decided that he would take the time to run over to the ponds of Paddy the Beaver. I'll just see how the Beaver family is getting along,' said Peter to himself. Then he began to wonder if he really would see how the Beaver family was getting along. He had tried it on one or two other occasions in other win ters and he had seen very little. But 1t was something to do and some where to go; so Peter went.
 Tt is so far over there that l probably will stay two or three days" he told little Mrs, Peter as he left the dear Old Briar-patch, and pretended not to see the worried look in her eyes. Tt will be per fectly safe over there my dear. In fact, I probably will be safer there than here, for Old Man Coyote and Reddy Fox do most of their hunting around here. Of course, they will rot know that I am going over there, and so I shall be quite safe"
 Peter kicked mp his long heels and away he went across the Green Meadows, which were now white with snow.
 Little Mrs. Peter sighed and any- iously watched him until he was nothing but q little brown spcc6 Lobbing along. At last he disappear ed in the Green Forest. As for Peter, having made up his mind where he was going, he headed straight for there, Only once did he get anything in the way of a fright. he discovered some great, round footprints in the snow pc'cr's heart gave q jump. His heart Jumped up and his stomach sank down, and that combination gives one terrible feeling. Yes sir. if does so. It gives one that all-gone feeling.
 "Yowlcr the Bobcat" he whisper ed under his breath. Hes been around here"
 But little sniffing at, and ljt- tie examination of those footprints set Peter at rest. His heart and his stomach both seemed 10 come back where they belonged. Thos" were old footprints. They were several days old. Once more Peter started out. lipperty- y-lipperty-lip, but he wasn't quite so carefrce as he had been in the first place. This was we'll because it kept him on guard with ears and nose and eyes.
 When at last Peter reached the first of Paddys ponds he sat up be- hind an old stump for a long look,
