A QUESTION IN RELIGION
miami Bulletin)


TO remark that religious news is
big news today is merely bro
mide. Anyone who reads the pap
ers at all knows that. He recalls
the long weeks when the famous
evolution trial of Dayton, Tennes-
see, held page one the world over.
The Scopes evolution trial and
every news event Of today which
sayOrs at all Of the religious are
significant because men and wO-
men are thinking more that ever
before on the question: What's
it all about?"
Because it believes that religion
is "saleable" to day, the Interna-
tional Advertising Association has
established a church advertising
department It's purpose is, first
Of all, to find out what the world
thinks about religion today, any
way.
1t has prepared a set OF II
"brief questions" to be sent to men
and women the world over. Very
simple, elemetary questions are
they, such as 'Do you believe in
God?" "Do you believe in fmmor-
tality?" do you believe in pray
err"
But simple as the questions are,
they are SO complex as to defeat
their purpose. Take that question
DO you believe in God?" The
immediate answer of many is
whose" God? What kind of a
God?"
Turn to the church section of any
Saturday newspaper and observe
the different kinds of divinities
scheduled to be worshiped at the
Sunday services, before you think
it easy for men and women to an

SHOOTING BANDITS
(Nogales Herald)

(NOSdl0S f1eIdluJ
"Shoot their heads off is the
order given to Detroit policemen,
regarding bandits. There is a
new drive against hold-up men.
'The officers who shoot bandits
will be the ones who get promo
tions," says the police commission
er, adding, providing they do not
endanger the lives of innocent per-
sons"
There's the rub. 1t is found, in
experience, that it is usually very
hard to shoot at a bandit, even
when you know he's a bandit,
without shooting up a populous
neighborhood. Bandits instructive
ly take refuge in crowds or flee
through crowded thOroughfares.
And policemen who are quick and
courageous are not always good
marksmen. They have shot about
as many innocent persons as ban
dts in their war against crime
It's a big problem-just how,
when and where to shoot. And
the bandits take full advantage of
the policeman's difficulty.

PLAN TO TAkE ART
FROM Old NAVAJOS
Tucson, Arizona,

tucson, Arizona,
December 13, 1926
Editor, The WinsloW Mail
There has come to my hands an
article from the Winslow Mail of
December 3rd, wherein an inven-
tive genius sets forth a plan for
the standardization Of the Navajo
rug industry. The author propOs-
es to speed up the industry, with
the help of machines, and save rs
per cent of the cost Of production.
His plan seems to be fairly well
thought out, and perhaps, mechan
ically possible; however, his help
full process seems to me an insult
to a picturesque tribe, and an af-
front to art.
In this mechanical age, when
everyone is trying to tighten the
burdens of mankind, and increase
its wealth, we are apt to neglect
its welfare In the mad scramble
for industrial supremacy, and for
building fortunes, it is easy to lose
sight of beauty. It is thus that old
traditions are beseiged by the
greater power of industrial ece-
nomy, and the barbarous Genius
would prey upon a defenseless art.
While the Artist looks with rap
ture upon work Of beauty, the
Genius picks it apart; examines
the warp, and the woof, and the
object dart is lost!
This particular Genius would
not, however, destroy the pictur-
esque beauty of the Navajo rug.
Oh my, no. His method would re
duce the cost, but still retain the
essentials" The rugs would still
be produced "by hand weave, by
Navajo operatives and thus retain
every element of being Navajo
rugs" This reminds me of the

REACHING OUT
(Arizona Gazette


1t is reported in Los Angeles
that Sears & Roebuck are planning
to establish another great branch
of their mail order department
store in that city, The purpose of
such a branch is to reach this in
land territory comprised of the
states of Arizona, New Mexico and
Nevada.
In spite Of the fact that Phoenix
and the Salt River valley have
stores that are just as metropoii-
tan as those to be found in any
city in the west and that they car
ry stocks that are just as complete
and their goods are priced as low
as good merchandising permits,
the mail order houses continue to
do a big volume of business in
this section.
Persons who send their dollars
that are earned in this community
to buy merchandise from mail or
der houses are doing themselves
and the stores in their home town
an injustice. They are taking the
dollars that should support their
own industries sand investing them
in businesses, that support other
communities and make it possible
for these great mail order houses
to build stores like the one pro-
posed in Los Angeles instead of
promoting the growth of their own
merchants.
