DODGE CARS Put

John r. Lee, assistant general
sales manager OF Dodge Brothers

paper on which he had been figur.

been required to carry all the

This statement, however astonisFl-

home to every public or semi-public
chauffeur the necessity for safety
devices such rs non-slxid chains and
properly fitted spring bar bumpers.
Research devotees have proved by
accurately complied statistics that
the chained" car has only q frac-
ton of the trouble encountered by
the bare tired automobile, since 1t
is in weather or under conditions
when chains are needed that the
majority OF motor accidents occur.
This proves the wisdom OF the
slogan: There can be no COM

The Washington times., 1926-04-07

Assuming for the sake Of estima,
ton that the property damage was
entirely restricted to the cars them
selves, and that the average value
of the automobiles was $3.50, It
is found that nearly 200 automo-
biles were totally demolished last
wear in accidents. To have equip
ned those 2,700 cars with non-skid
chains on all four wheels would
have cost about $40 900.
Truly q small fortune, but had
that $4,000 worth of safety equip
ment effected q reduction OF only
a scant 10 per cent of the total
accidents. it would have meant a
saving OF $780, 900 worth Of prop
erty, not to speak Of $4,000 injuries
and 1000 lives. When viewed IN
this light ii is seen that the cost
OF non-skid chains would have been
decidedly low price to have paid
for such benefits.
Much has been said and written
about the moral necessity for pre-
caution. Unfortunately, the moral
ity of a thing fails TO reach a good
many people. To these then we
point out the monetary value of
only one safety device non-skid
chains. Making no compromise
with safety is a dollars as well as
q sense action.
Due to the fact that commercial
motor vehicles cover more miles
per day on an average than pri-
vately owned cars, the former IS
80 times as liable to become in
volved in an accident as the private
machine. This fact was revealed
by an exhaustive ANALYSIS and sur

COMMUNITY SADDENED BY
DEATH OF JOHN CLARK
PIONEER OF FLAGSTAFF


John NJ. Clark, one of Flagstaff's
/ pioneers and for many years one of
4 its leading business men, died at the
I home of his parents here, Friday
! evening, November 19 at $3.50 O'clock
Mr. Clark's death, though it fol-
lowed nearly five years of semi
invalidism, was q distinct shock
to the community and to his many
friends throughout the state. His
last illness was for about month,
though he was able to sit up some
and walk around the house little al
most every day. On the day Of his
death he sat up for an hour or so
and just a short time before he pass
ed away talked of the plans he and
his wife had made to spend several
weeks ut some hot springs as soon
as he was able to travel.
Kidney trouble, with heart compE-
cations was the immediate cause Of
death. With him when he died were
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Asa Clark
and his wife.
The father of the deceased, who is
more than 90 years of age, was
prostrated by the shock, but rallied
and is much better now.
John Milton Clark was born in Con-
cord, N. H., March 13, 1871. His ia
ther and older son, Charlie, came to
Flagstaff in 1884 and were living
on the ranch OF the formers brother,
John Clark at Clark Valley when a
year later John and his mother arriy-
ed from the east.
Ial
down the valley now covered by Lake
Mary, grew hay and potatoes, prec-
ious crops in those days.
The Clark family moved to Flag
steEf in the fall Of the year John and
his mother came here to q log cabin
built by John Hull and located near
the center o. what is now the base
1all diamond at City park. Later the
head Of the family built che large
residence northwest of town on the
John Clark ranch which few years
ago was bought by the City Of
Flagstaff for city park and ON
part Of which the high school
stands. Both Asa Clark and John
Clark, the elder-who were twins
lived there with their families Tor
several years.
Deceased attended school in the
old frame building at the corner Of
Milton road and Flagstaff Teachers
,ollege drive. The school was con-
lucted by Mrs. Eva Marshall, first
teacher in the Flagstaff school and
ater bv John Mason Ross, now q
prominent attorney Of Bisbee.
After finishing school, John clerk
ID in stores here and rode herd on
the cattle range. In 1885 he was aD-
9ointed guard at the state poniten-
iary where Ben Daniels was warden.
When President Roosevelt made
Daniels u. S. marshal for this dis
;rict, Mr.. Clark became his deputy
it Tucson.
1t was in this latter city shat Mr..
Clark met and married Miss Agnes
Martin, daughter Of an old and prom
nent family Of Tucson. Their mar

directors.
The school is situated on the Mo-
gollon plateau about 25 miles south
of Flagstaff, among the pines, over
looking the red-rock country and
Clear creek on the rim of the great
Verde valley. Nature has poured out
on this locality all her wonders, in
geological formation and in fauna
and flora. While in the new west
yet it is the center of one of the old
est civilizations in the world 1t is
an ideab surrounding in which to
place youth during his impression
istic age.
The schools mission is to rebuild
the strength of the boy who, through
overstudy, or for various reasons, has
found his physical power depleted.
1t is principally intended for boys
who have finished high-school or pre-
paratory course, before entering coll
lege. Here boys will live in the open.
There will be swimming, golf, tennis,
baseball, mountain climbing, camp
ing, fishing, hunting, all under the
supervision and care of experienced
and qualified directors.
In addition to the outdoor life,
there will be courses in forestry, geo
logy and nature study. Included in
the comse will be lessons in horse
manship, care and treatment of ami
mails. It's purpose is to build up the
strength of the boy and at the same
time inculcate in him a love for the
outdoors and train him to take care
of himself in the outdoors, and, last
of all, to create a lasting love of
nature
The school is organized, financed
and only desires the good will and
friendship of the surrounding coun-
try. The school year will begin with
May and last until the fall.
The above corrects two erroneous
impressions about the purpose of the
school. 1t is not to be a dude ranch
not in any sense of the word. Nor
is it to be a straightening-up place
for dissolute or weak minded scions
of wealthy families.
This is an experiment with Mr..
Fox, wealthy retired financier Of
New York who during the last four
years has become acquainted with
this section of Arizona and has grown
to love it. He doesn't expect profit,
but he does want the school to be-
come so well known and popular that
it will not be a losing venture. He
believes sef-sustaining, philanthropy
better for all concerned than charity,
and the class of boys who will attend
the school do not need charity.
Mr. Gyberg and Mr.. Totten say
that if the school shows next year
that there is demand for the kind
of training it will give, improvements,
many of them costly, will come fast.
Something like $4,000 has been
spent so far by Mr.. Fox and he hopes
that the school will build into great
institution.
Now the little horse:

Woman With Child
Passed Bad Checks

The sheriff's assistance was solicit
ed the last Of the week in locating
an unassuming appearing woman
who passed worthless checks on the
Arizona Central bank at three busi-
ness houses-J. C. Penney Co., Rickel
& IIilkins and Flagstaff Pharmacy
all for sums near $40, giving a ficti-
tious address on Aspen avenue.
Only one of those cashing her
checks remembers much about her
appearance, but this one describes
her as being of medium height and
build, fair complexion, about 25
years of age. She wore a black hat,
a brown coat and new pair of Pen
ney shoes. With her was a small
child about three years old wearing
red stocking cap.
Officers up and down the line are
on the lookout but so far have not
apprehended her.
