WORK UPON GILA
BRIDGE GOES ON
DESPITE RAINS

While the exceedingly heavy rains
of the past few days have made the
Gillespie dam crossing of the Gila
river 55 miles west of Phoenix, inn
passable, construction work on the
new state highway bridge over the
Gila about 600 feet below the dam
has not stopped.
This link in transcontinental motor

tract from the state to erect the
steel bridge, which will have five
200-foot spans and four spans of
100 feet long eachL
The bridge will be set on con-
crete piers and be high above the
highest mark ever reached by the

The present course of the motor
road will be changed to reach the

for about a mile of new highway
construction.

by j. w. Tardy, president of the

his visit Wednesday to Tucson to
confer with "Terry" McGovern, mama
ger of the Sunshine club there and
to discuss climate club prolems in

The most important accomplish
ment Of Tardy was the obtaining of

Gently of Tucson as stenograph.r
for the Douglas Ideal Climate club.

Judges Fines Woman Who
Did Not Report Accident;
Warns Boys About Riding

Bicvcle enthusiasts Of Douglas
should realize that they are operat-
inc vehicle when riding a bicycle,
Acting City Judge G. W. Pratt firm
ly impressed upon a young resident
of Douglas who INDUCES in that
method of locomotion, who appeared
before him to file a complaint re-
garding mistreatment Thursday.
1t appears that the particular
youth in question was bumped into
late Wednesday afternoon when rid
ing his wheel, by Mexican woman
living in Aqua Prieta, who was ope-
rating. an automobile. The boys, BIZ
cycle was badly smashed and he went
directly to Pratt Thursday and filed
complaint against the woman.
Everything pointed toward the
youth having received the unfair emo
of things until he quietly informed
Pratt that he was proceeding south
on G avenue on the left side Of the
street when he car, proceeding north
also on the left side, crashed into
him. This of course changed things
materially as the boy bicyclist was
on the wrong side of the street and
Pratt quickly informed him on that
point. Bicycles are vehicles just
like automobiles, he told the youth
and their riders must observe the
same traffic rules. "You had no
business riding on the left side Of
tile street when going south on G
avenue and thus are more to blame
in this case than the other partici-
pant in the trouble" Pratt stated to
the boy.
The boy saw the light and Judge
Pratt told him that others who ride
bicycles must also see it or there
will be more trouble and accidents
in their ranks.
AS it was, although the youth did
not gain anything materially for his
trouble, the Mexican woman who
drove the car was fined $500 for not
reporting the accident. so Pratt felt
that the mishap worked out as an
objects lesson to both parties.

DEMONSTRATION
OF PERMANENT
HAIR WAVING

A public demonstration of the lat
est method of permanent faving was
given Wednesday evening on the
mezzanine floor of the Gadsden ho-
tel by Mrs. Josephine Cleveland, who
is to be associated with Miss Mar
garet Chancellor in the Gadsden
Beauty shop. Mrs. Cleveland came
TO Douglas from the coast, having
specialized in permanent waving in
Los Angeles for the past three years
Her method of waving is the latest
fiat wrap, which produces the mar
eel effect without any of the dis
comfitures of old-time methods. The
wave is put in by steam, the hair
coming out wet, so there is no possi-
bility Of burning. Another pleasing
feature of this method is that it is
unnecessary to use combs after the
operation in order to set the hair in
place.
Miss Chancellor gave a demonstra-
tion in facial treatment, using the
Bereza line of toilet articles, for
which the Gadsden Beauty shop has
obtained the exclusive agency in this
city.
There were also on display sew
eral transformations in white, gold
and brown, such as are the vogue
for evening wear on the coast anad in
Europe.
Between 25 and 80 women of Doug
las attended the demonstration which
was sponsored by the Gadsden Beau
ty shop. Mrs. Jackson of Eighth
street assisted Mrs. Cleveland in the
demonstration by having her hair
permanently waved under this new
process of marching.
