WHO PRESENTS

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN.
IL Should the lady be presented
to the gentleman, or vice versa?
co Should they extend their
hands?
co Il sitting. should the lady

gentleman?
AN INTERESTED READER.
NIIE gentleman is introduced to
ii the lady.
ca There is no definite rule
about shaking hands. The tend.
ency nowadays is for people not
TO shake hands when they are
introduced, unless there is some
especial reason for doing so. For
instance, when a friend whom
you know very well is introduc-
ing a friend Of whom he or she
has spoken to you many times,
then it would be natural and
appropriate for you to indicate
an especial pleasure in the intro
duction by making special ges-
ture of enthusiasm. This can be
done with a handshake.
But for the ordinary, casual III
PRODUCTION it is not necessary or
expected that one shake hands.
The lady is the one who offers
the hand first, If there is to be
a handshake. The gentleman
waits for her to offer her hand
(3) The lady does not rise when
a gentleman is presented to her.
She usually rises when lady
is introduced.
TEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Would you please tell me II
II is customary or the proper
thing. when a young lady receives
an engagement ring from her
sweetheart, to reciprocate by CIV
ing him something in the way
of a gift, a stickpin, ring or wrist
watch?
Q. Also. Is it proper when at
tending an engagement party, TO
take a gift? THANK YOU.
TT is not customary for girl
to give her fiance an engage
ment gift. but it is proper for
her TO do SO IL she wishes. IL
she decides to give him a pres
ent, / should not recommend that
she give him a stickpin, since
most men nowadays do not wear
stickpins. Nor should ! suggest
a ring, since most men--thank
heayen!-do not wear rings. A
wrist watch would be fine pres
ent for a fiancee to give to her
fiance or a gold key case with
KEY to have cut, or handsome
wallet monogrammed or a short
gold key-chain with gold tag m
it to be monogrammed, or a gold
knife for his watch chain, or a
black silk morie set for evening

match holder), or walking stick
with either crooked or straight
handle (the straight-handled canes
are generally supposed to be In

or a fitted suitcase.

ZIMMERMAN AND
HILL JOURNEY
TO STATE PRISON

A sad cayalcade wended it's way
into Winslow Monday morning ac-
companied by Sheriff Dan Divel-
bess, Undersheriff o. C. Williams
and Deputy Sheriff j. E. Walker,
who acted as chaperones. Two Of
the number were on their way to
Florence, where they will enter
Arizona's state prison, and some
half dozen assorted bootIeggerS
and moonshiners who will make
their bow sometime in the near fu-
ture before Federal court.
Two Winslow bigimists, one with
an added charge of attempted mur-
der, took the long road to Flor
ence.
Horace Henry Hill, convicted
some time ago in Holbrook on a
charge of bigamy, and sentenced
to not less than one nor more than
two years, was one. The other
was Bob" zimmerman, who was
given a suspended sentence for big
amy some time ago to which was
added five years recently on a
charge of assault to murder. After
being paroled on the charge of big
amy, zimmerman stabbed his wife,
a Winslow girl here two weeks ago.
He must now serve his original
sentence, plus the five years on the
second count.

Work has been, started by the
Webb Bros. Lumber company saw
ing the large timbers that will be
used in the construction of a new
sawmill for the Standard Lumber
Mills, Inc, to take the place OF

spring, according to John Zalaha,
who was here on company busi-
ness. He returned last week from
Chicago where he attended to fl
nancial matters in connection with
the company.
The rebuilding program of the
new mill calls for a plant modern

boiler rooms. latest style band
saw and all other improvements
necessary for a first class sawmill.
1t is reported that logging op-
eratiOns have already been started
On small scale to get the timbers

Fire Chief There

According to the report of
George Jackson, Winslow's Fire

Winslow's Camp On
Blue Ridge Opens;
Barbecue Feature

To a group of Winslowites who
gathered Sunday at Blue Ridge
ranger station to show their ap-
probation for ranger Frank Bus
ter's efforts in providing a camp
sfor them, and to partake of the ex-
cellent barbecue prepared for them
by Frank Perkins post, American
Legion, District Forester Kirby
made an address of welcome and of
explanation of the plans of the for
estry service. Following Kirby's
talk, which was the formal tender
ing of the camp and the courtesies
of the forestry Service, Charles
McCauley made an address of ac-
cseptance in behalf of Winslow,
thanking Buster, Kirby and the SER
vice for their interest and for the
camp.
The event justified a much larg-
er turnout than was present, for
both the opening of the camp and
the barbecue were headliners. Only
those who went can appreciate
what the stay-at-homes missed, for
such meeting can hardly be de-
scribed as it deserves.
Reams have been written con-
corning the camp, and any more
would be repetition. Shortly, the
camp is almost ideal from every
angle. 1t is located in a clearing
among the pines, on gentle slope
that promises adequate drainage.
There is sufficient supply of pure
spring water near at hand, and in
case of trouble the ranger station
is only a stones throw away, where
telephone is also located.
In developing the camp for Wins
low, and presenting it, Ranger Bus
fer has shown himself to be a
!. .public-spirited citizen, and rang
~er who appreciates the full duty of
the forest service, which, as Mr..
Kirby made plain, is to preserve for
Americans their wonderful natur-
al forests.
In Mr.. Kirby's address be brought
out the fact that the forests are for
the people, not to be dimly aware
of, but to enter into and enjoy, and
Busters camp was projected with
this end in view. Kirby also said
that the national forests are more
FUSED and enjoyed by people from
other districts or other states than
by those residing almost in direct
contact with the forests.
The side feature Offered by the
Legion boys made strong bid to
take honors from the main show
The barbecue was prepared by Bill
Brassill, who fixed his name indel-
IDLY on the roll of famous barbecue
chefs. Ancient residents who have
partaken of barbecue in all sections
of the country were unanimous in
their declaration that never, on
either side of the Mississippi, had
they heard of, seen or eaten barbe-
cue that remotely compared with
that at Blue Ridge Sunday.

Rotarians Hear
About Apprentice
System Of Santa Fe

Winslow Rotarians and guests
and visitors heard an interesting
discussion on the Santa Fe ap-
prentice system given by Cyril
Barron, one of the apprentices in
the local A. T. and S. F. shops,
last Wednesday.
Mr.. Barron, who was the guest
Of Sam Proctor, chairman of the
day, went into details explaining
the model system built up by the
Santa Fe, which is now looked
upon as leader among railroads
in turning out skilled shopcraft
mechanics. The plan which was
started in 1907, the speaker de-
clared, now has total member
ship of 1929. Last May 81 grad
yates of the shops were turned
out as skilled mechanics, six of
these coming from the Winslow
shops. Mr.. Barron ended his re-
marks by asking the Rotarians to
help the local apprentice club in
its efforts to bring to Winslow the
next convention in 1928.
Chairman Sam Proctor gave an
interesting discourse on the
Fourth Object of Rotary and the
Rotarians participated in a round
table on "Friendship."

FINED:
SET
CLEAR CREEK LIMIT

Police Magistrate G. o. Nesting
Tuesday evening in police court
garnered for the city the first
fruits of the labors of George
Haines, newly appointed motorcop.
Tuesday was the first day of
Haines' official regime, and two
speeders paid fines. Four more ar
rests Tuesday evening brought
three into court Wednesday, with
the fourth, who works an early
night shift for the Santa Fe alb
sent on account of his duties. He
will be tried soon.
j. E. Campbell was the first to
be hailed into court by Haines,
with Carl Herring second. In Tues
days court session they both paid
fines of $500.
Homer Vaughan, Jean Ratelle
and Ed Kleindienst were found
guilty of exceeding the prescribed
speed limit, and were fined $500
each Wednesday. Frank Brown
was the absent member of the
quartette. He is also charged with
speeding.
All the arrests so far have been
of local people. For the present,
until speed limit signs are obtain
ed, tourists who are stopped will
be dismissed
The board of supervisors early
this week passed a resolution de-
claring an emergency to exist in
the case of the Clear Creek road
traffic hazards, and declaring the
speed limit to be twenty miles an
hour on Clear Creek road. No
minimum fine is placed on the first
offense, but the maximum is $100
fine, or Imprisonment, or both, and
for the second offense the minimum
fine is $4,000.
The board feels they are justi-
fed in making the new law so dras-
tic, since chronic offenders would
laugh off, small fines. Both coun-
ty and city officials are convinced
that the only way to cope with the
problem of speeders is to punish
them in accordance with their Of
fense.

MORE THAN HALF MILLION TROUT BE
TRANSpLANTED FROM HATCHERY AT
SPRINGERVIL,LE TO VARIOUS STREAMS

thirds full of water with about
1000 of the young fish in each can.
Contrary to general belief, the
fish are not dumped into the new
stream at once, but the can is be-
side the stream chosen for trans
planting and the water in the can
is brought to the same temperature
or within less than two degrees
of that of the stream by pouring
water from the stream into the
can in small amounts.
This must be done because put
ting the young fish into water of
more than two degrees difference
from that they are accustomed to,
will cause them to die. After the
fish have become accustomed to
the temperature of the water of
their new home, the can is emptied
into the stream.
The young fish to be moved were
hatched this year. The work of
moving them will be directed by
Mr. Pettis.

Ice Service Shows
Good Profit On Two
Months Business

Taken over some time ago, the
Municipal Ice Delivery Service
which was the main bone of con-
tention in an injunction suit against
the city recently, showed itself in
figures given by city clerk G. l.
Murphy, at the council meeting
Wednesday night to be not only
self-supporting, but extremely pro-
fitable.
Figures for May from the ice
business showed net profit OF
S361.70, with an average profit per
ton of 1922 During the first fif-
teen days of June more ice has been
sold than in the entire month of
May. The overhead expense has
increased by the acquisition of a
new delivery truck and driver, but
the estimated profit for June, based
on the sale of 225 tons, is $1,284.75.
More than half the salary of
Charles Lundin, city fireman, is
charged against the ice service, as
Lundin is in charge of the ice box
in the city hall. AS the entire
amount of Lundin's wages was
previously city expense, the pro-
portion of salary paid him by the
ice service is another saving to the
city Golfers.
The figures as issued by Murphy
take care of every conceivable ex-
pense that the ice service has, with
a heavy depreciation charged
against the trucks, ice box and
tools.
Permission was given by the
council for the purchase of new
type ice Scoring machine. The
possibility of purchasing the old
machine owned by the Arizona
Power company was discussed, but
as the company will probably ship
the scorer to another of their ice
plants, it was decided to purchase
the new cutter.

SUNSET GARAGE In
DANGER FROM FIRE
MONDAY MORNING

Fire which broke out in a small
shed on the west end of the Sun
set Garage early Monday morning
was brought under control by the
fire department before the blaze
had time to spread, although the
building in which the fire started
was completely destroyed.
The fire was apparently started
by an electric motor which ran the
compressor that supplied a com
pressed air tank. The motor be-
came overheated during the night,
and set fire to the shed which
housed it. The motor, compressor,
and air tank were ruined by the
flames, and considerable damage
done to a service truck near by.
The total damage is estimated at
close to $4,000.

The work of transplanting be-
tween 100000 and 100000 young
rainbow trout from the state fish
hatchery near SpringeryilIe to the
various trout streams of the state
will be started early next week,
according to a statement issued by
D. E. Pettis, state game warden.
1t is expected that about three
weeks will be required to trans
plant the young trout now in the
Matching troughs at the hatchery
The exact spots in which the trout
are to be placed have not been
fully determined yet, Mr. Pettis
said, although some of them will
be placed in streams in the Tonto
basin and in Oak Creek. 1t also
is expected that some of the
streams in the White mountains
will be restocked with the young
trout.
Much care must be used in
transplanting the fish, Mr.. Pettis
said The fish will be moved from
the hatchery in milk cans two
