Los ANGELES WOMAN DIED
HERE MONDAY FROM AUTO
ACCIDENT SCHULZ CANYON

Mrs. P. F. Chancellor Of Los Ange-
les died at Mercy hospital, Flagstaff,
Monday morning from injuries re-
ceived Saturday afternoon when the
Willys-Knight coach in which she and
one of her daughters were riding
turned off the highway in Schulz can
yon, a mile or so east of Flagstaff.
1t is not clear whether Mrs. Chan
cellor, who was about 65 years Of
age, or her daughter was driving.
They were going about 40 miles an
hour and just after they had gone
down the hill, travelling east, and had
crossed the culvert at the bottom, the
rear wheels swung around and the
car went off the south side of the
road. There is a bank there several
feet high. The car turned over twice,
smashing the upper part pretty bad
ly.
A moment after the accident oc-
Cured, Mrs. w. d. Draine, returning
from luncheon at the home of her
mother, Mrs c. A. GTeenlaW, came
along. She and some tourists who
arrived a moment later helped the in
iured woman out of the wreck. The
younger woman had just crawled
out. Mrs. Chancellor, with assist
ance, walked to Mrs Draine's car and
both women were taken to the hos
pital.
Mrs. Chancellor's right arm was
fractured near the shoulder and her
left collar bone was broken. Appar-
rently there was some chest injury,
but neither the breast bone nor any
of the ribs were broken. The cause
of death, it is believed, was a clot Of
blood forming at one of the@injuries
which, when it left there, stopped up
one of the arteries above.
The daughter is school teacher
in Los Angeles. She and her mother
were driving to Texas to visit during
vacation. The younger woman was
bruised some and slightly cut with
glass. She suffered greatly from the
nervous shock and stayed under the
care of a trained nurse at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Dan Williams. She
phoned her father and another sister,
also a teacher, in Los Angeles, and
they arrived with their family physi-
clan on Tuesday, Mrs. Chancellor
having died after they left the coast.
The body was taken to Texas in the
care of the daughter who had just
come from the coast, who left here
with it on Tuesday night. The 9th
ers returned to Los Angeles.

IN JUSTICE COURT

Ray Candelario and Frank Gabal-
don were struggling enthusiastically
in Gabaldon's house in the dark the
other night when some women called

Tom Pulliam that they were only
wrestling" and it was all IN fun.

THE SUN LOOKING OUT
FROM WITHIN
!. !. !. ). :. :. !. !. !. :. !. !. :. !


When you look at the boarded-in
front of The Sun building, pity the
poor inmates of this institution. 1t
wasn't blown out by Fourth of July
explosion, political enemies or red
flaggers.
No, the wreckage is all the result
of a fool bet we made with the hotel
committee who are sponsoring the
new hotel. We bet they couldn't raise
money enough to build the darned
hotel and gave them an option on our
place of sequesteration for a prom
to" move. We thought we'd be like
Rebecca, wherein it took seven years
to win paws consent, but we were
jobbed by our progressive enemies
and we were compelled to retreat
back into our dungeon while they are
wrapping q hotel around our front
age.
However, The Sun is entrenching
across the street from its old rendez-
vous and we hope to be able to re-
sent this four story cupola to the
Roof Garden City of the world, before
they get one cash customer.
To bill collectors we wish to say 1t
is very dangerous entrance to The
Sun office at present. Friends are
carelessly lowering down the big
stones of the front and friends are
pouring concrete along the front. A
wink from us-and where's your ac-
count?
Those who really wish to pay bills
or contract safe Indebtedness will
find safe guides stationed convent
emily to conduct them to our "tilP'
representative. When the biggest city
in the biggest county in the world
wants a mere newspaper plant to
move out and over, you can guess
they gotta move.

Webber was wearing a beard in the
then prevailing mode. When he
shaved it, that, and the fact that the
youngest grandchild had never be-

interest whether grandpa and grand

By CHESTER HORTON

The flat swing is often called the
fat swing because it fits the fat pla. er
so well. However, it has a good many
advantages and any golfer who is not
satisfied with his wood shots should
give the flat swing a tryout. Jock
Hutchinson uses it, Joe Kirkwood re-
lies on it, Jess Sweetser won the ma
tional amateur championship with it
and Bob Gardner of Chicago is almost
flat in his full swings. So the flat
swing is no mohgrel of golf by any
means.
For The novice golfer the flat swing
has this superb advantage-it quickly
gets him into the way of sending his
clubs in back of him rather than lift
ing them upward with his arms. The
flat swing differs from the upright
that way-there is no arm lifting at
all in the former, while in the up
right swing you combine a lifting Of
the arms with the pivot, or shoulder
turning. Since this gives the player
one more thing TO do is why, ] sup
pose. the upright is the harder swing
to master.
In figure 1 we see the correct adj
dress position for the flat swing with
a driver. Stance. slightly open; that
is, right foot advanced two or three
inches. Start the clubhead back from
the ball with a wrist movement. This
should not be quic kand jerky-take
