specimens Of which are in almost
every museum of Importance in
the world; so far as can be de-
termined this is; or was, the great
est occurrence of meteorites in the
worlds history. Iron and nickel
were the principal content, as is
the case with all metallic meteors,
and there are specimens still in
the state that are of high value
and great interest. Microscopic
diamonds are found in practically
every case.
1t is the common opinion that
these meteorites formed the tail"
of a monster visitor from space,
and that the main body of the me-
teor lies buried in the earth within
the mountain. Many attempts have
been made to discover the meteor
which appears to have entered the
mountain from the northwest and
it is certain that the dislocation of
the sedimentary rocks which cover
that section lends color to the
theory. The strata on the south
erly side of the great "crater" are
upheaved and are broken just as
they would be by the impact of
huge body and on the northerIy
side, there is a big notch in the
rim of the depression. Several
companies have been formed at one
time and another, to explore the
ground, but all of them failed by
reason of limited finances. It is
understood that a new attempt is
to be made early next year, and
the outcome will be awaited with
intense interest. The new company
proposes to drive a tunnel from the
south side of the mountain towards
the point at which the last COM
pany which tried to find the meteor
ran into something" that made
further advance of it's diamond
drill impossible. - Verde Copper

CAPACITY TO STAND ALONE

VICE-President Dawes in talk
a few days ago to the pages of
the United States senate, warned
them against running with the
crowd" and told them they must
learn to stand against the crowd.
Many young people conceive the
idea that in order to obtain any
reputation or social position they
have to conform to the manners of
the popular crowd in their home
town, college, school, etc. Even if
they think a certain practice is un-
desirable or vicious, they feel they
must conform to it, or they will be
regarded as peculiar, and will be
more or less ostracized.
This is an entirely wrong notion,
and people who expect to amount
to much should get over it at the
earliest possible moment. They will
find that few are turned down for
such reasons by any group of peo-
pie who amount to anything. They
will find that those who have
strength and independence of char
acter are secretly admired, and
they attract friends by giving an
example of a forceful personality.
There is of course such a thing
as carrying non-conformity to ex
tremes where people seem merely
eccentric. But one does not have
to do that. A reasonable person
can decline to partake in lot Of
the popular habits which seem to
him unsuitable, without giving an
impression of being a crank. He
does not have to read his friends
any lectures as to their conduct.
But if he takes his position firm
ly that he does not care to do
certain things that seem undesir-
able, he gives an impression Of
being a person of decision and
initiative who has ideas of his own.
He may temporarily be ridiculed
little in a good natured way. But
in the end his course has attracted
favorable attention, and has marked
him as a person out of the ordin-
ary run of medicrity, who is likely
to do well in the world

SHORT SKIRTS

MRS. John B. Henderson, prom
inent figure in the social cir
cles of Washington, is promoting
a movement to induce women and
girls to lower their skirts to their
ankles. The effort is said to be
backed by the National Federation
of Woman's clubs, Daughters of
the American Revolution, etc.
In spite of such powerful sup
port, it is quite doubtful if the wo-
men folks are much Influenced by
such suggestions. At least not un-
til the fashion authorities tell 'em
to do so. 1t is conceivable of
course, though not likely, that they
would wear trailing skirts again,
if they thought it was "the thing"
The idea seems to have settled
somewhat deeply into the feminine
mind, that long skirts limit their
physical activity, and are an OBJ
stacle to their achievement and
comfort. 1t is difficult to believe
that a fashion that makes women
better able to take their part in
the world, is contrary to propriety.

WE ENJOY THIS APOLOGY

LIVERY once in while we are
II remiss in our duty. The retir-
ing editor takes this occasion to
make good a recent slip before he
turns over the paste pot, shears
and blue pencil to the new editor
of The Mail.
A week or so ago we printed
a neat little program for the B. P.
D. ElkS annual ball, giving there
on a list of the committee men,
bers, musicians and the ladies in
charge of the refreshments. The
latter list included Mrs. George
Jackson, Mrs. j. D. Mahoney, Mrs.
bill" O'Hara, Mrs. Joe Roth and
Mrs. Homer Vaughn. By some ac-
cident we omitted the name of Mrs.
Elmer H. Black, than whom when
it comes to strenuous efforts of a
community or civic nature there is
no one more white.
Mrs Black is always one of those
present when it comes to doing
something for the community. She
has borne more than her share of
responsibility in making the affairs
of Winslow the big successes they
prove to be. She is generous with
her labor and talents of hospital
ity, and because she is as she is,
Winslow is rapidly achieving fame
as a city with a great social spirit.
She doesn't know this is being
printed and would probably order
ed it killed" because she is not
one of those who think our prasies
are our wages, or that one good
deed dying tongueless slaughters a
thousand waiting upon that.
