The hands analysed in this article
are certainly puzzlers. The writer has
submitted them to three well-known
experts and none of them agreed on any
one of the hands. 1t is this very differ
ence of opinion, however, that makes
auction so fascinating. You will prob
ably all make up your minds what you
would do with each hand so that if you
differ from the writer, think of the three
experts and their differences of opinion.
Auction always will be interesting be-
cause the personal element always will
be dominant. 1t is wise to conform to
conventions, but on close hands con-
ventions are of little value and the per-
sonal opinion always will rule.

Fossil Footprints at Grand Canyon
Are Only 23,OOOOO0 Years Old

therefore seems fair to assume that
similar animals must have formerly
inhabited the Grand Canyon region.
If these deductions are correct then
we know from a study of these fossil
skeletons that the tracks were made
by primitive crawling reptiles and
anphibians all of which are unlike
any creatures living today.
A critical study of the tracks show
that some of the animals had five
toes, some four, some had toes pro-
vided with long sharp claws, others
had toes terminated by blunt rounded
nails, and still others apparently
without claws. All appear to have
been quadrupedal-tha is, they walk
ed or crawled on all four legs. They
also varied greatly in size and char
acter Some were no longer than a
mouse while others had large feet
with a stride of two and one-half
feet. Some had short limbs, with
heavy wide bodies, while others had
long slender limbs and narrow bodies.
Many of the trails are beautifully dis
tinct and the course of the animal
may often be traced for considerable
distances.
In addition to the footprints there
were trails evidently made by crab
like animals or insects, the imprints
of their pointed toes in clusters OF
two and three with distinct furroW
between caused by the drag of a tail
being clearly impressed. There are
also burrows believed to have been
made by worms.
The great age of these tracks, their
excellent preservation and great abun-
dance both in kinds and numbers
make this one of the most important
footprint localities known anywhere
in the world. Occurring as they do
in three successive and well estab-
lished geological horizons, they have
value all their own in throwing
light upon the land animal life of the
Permian. Intensive study Of these
tracks may eventually tell US much OF
the habits and characteristics OF the
creatures living in these long past
ages.
To the geologist in the absence of
other fossil criteria they may be
eventually Of great assistance in the
correlation of widely separated rock
deposits and to the layman they will
ever be a source of wonder and spec
ulation registering as they do the
former presence of creatures now
long extinct.

ATTACK ON WAGON TRAIN
BY INJUNS ON THE FOURTH

Realistic perturbation Of an Indian
attack on wagon train will be among
the many features of the celebration.
The plan is to have the attack as
the wagon-train approaches the OUT
skirts of Flagstaff at dusk on the
morning Of the Fourth. Great bands
of Indians, especially brought in from
the reservation for this event, will
sneak up on the train and circle the
unfortunate immigrants. Burning
arrows will be used and every effort
made to make the affair as. realistic
and striking of the olden days as pos
sible. Sharp rifles specially procured
for the occasion will boom again,
sending their bullets on missions of
death. Punctured redskins will bite
the dust. "Sure Shot" Dan Hogan,

ARIZONA LEGION MAKES
GREAT MEMBERSHIP GAIN

With 1855 bona fide members in
the thirty-nine posts of the Ameri-
can Legion in the state of Arizona
on June %, all previous member
ship records in the history of the
department have been broken, accord
ing to statement made this week
by Department Adjutant D. D. Doug
las.
In 1920, the highest previous rec
ord made in membership by the de-
partment, there were 1922 members
in the state, and the healthy show
ing made by the Legion this year is
gratifying to the department officials
who have been devoting a great deal
of their time since the last depart
ment convention to membership prob
lens.
In the department the John H.
Slaughter post of Springerville, shows
the greatest percentage of gain in
membership, with 343 per cent, an
increase from Z to % members, while
the largest gain in membership by
any single post was made by the
Morgan-McD Dermott post of Tucson
with a gain of 1877 new members, or
percentage Ol OO1y SGCOliu Oilly "
the smaller post at Springerville.
The records of the department OF
Arizona this. year show gain of
1914 new members or 80 percent, over
last years membership, and Arizona
now stands third among the four
states in the Union which have ex-
ceeded the quotas set for them by
the national organization.
Wyoming is first among the states
in the Union. Florida is second, Ari-
zona third and Idaho fourth. The
quota set by the national organiza-
tion for Arizona was 1916, and this
figure has thus far been exceeded by
$50 members.
According to information received
by the Department Adjutant's office
from the posts in the state, a sub
stantial increase in membership over
the present total may well be expect

WONDERFUL PACEANTRY
IN PARADE ON FOURTH

Colonel Frank Gold, organizer and
director of the big '49 parade last
year, has been put in charge of the
mammoth pageant which will be held
on the streets of Flagstaff on the
morning of July 5, beginning at IL
o'clock sharp.
The parade this year will be bigger
and better, is the promise of the Elks.
Nothing in the way of expense has
been spared in gathering from all
parts of the west everything that will
be a faithful replica of the trying
times when the hardy frontiersmen
in covered wagons and prairie
schooners" creaked their way across
mountain range and trackless desert
to this Ell Dorado of the west.
Not a detail will be lacking which
can lend reality and truth to the
great drama which will be unfolded.
Every phase of early-day life in the
west will be depicted. Covered wag-
ons, stage coaches, chuck wagons, Ma
vajo, Hopi and Zuni Indians in native
costume, pony express riders, side
saddle riders, burro packs, desert rats,
prospectors, miners, woodsmen. There
will be old frontiersmen, cowboys,
and hundreds of women in ye-old-time
dresses, dance-hall girls in covered
wagons. Three bands win be in the
big parade. The famous Indian band
of the reservation will take the lead,
with "Doc' Williams cowboy band,
and the yearling band from st. Johns,
so named because all the members

SNOW BALL FIGHT In
FLAGSTAFF ON FOURTH

Twenty tons of snow will be trucked
down from the snow-capped San

Fourth of July, is the announcement
made by Clyde Zerby.
"The snow on the north side of the
peaks in places is still more than 20
feet Deep" said Frank Goodman, city
engineer. 1--WE will have little diff
Guilty in getting our trucks to the sup
ply. The roads are in good condition" +"

All the ladies of Flagstaff are ex-

dressed in old-time dresses. All cit

the committee announces that partic-
ipants need not be Elks or members
of Elks' families, and that the Elks
will feel that distinct compliment
has been paid them by great numbers
of non-Elks taking part in the par
ade. Frank Gold, chairman of par

ASSOCIATION
CALLS MEETING
STATE ORGANIZATION OF
OPERATORS MAY RESULT
FROM CONFERENCE TO BE
HELD IN MEMPHIS

A state organization of restaur-
ant operators in Florida may re.
suit from activities which win be
set in motion at a regional meeting
to be held in Memphis, Tenn,
March 9 and 10. w. L. Sharkey,
of Jacksonville, has been named
the chairman of this state.
State group meetings viii be
held during the conference which
has been called by the National
Restaurant Association. At the
present time restaurant operators
in this section of the United
States are concerned with rising
food costs which they are eager to
find ways and means of absorbing
without passing on to the con-
sumner in the shape of increased
prices.
The meeting in Memphis is not
a convention in that it is open to
all restaurant operators whether
they belong to the association or
not.
Organization and legislation are
other matters which viii be
brought to the attention of the
restaurant people of this state.
