Camel Back Mountain,
Near Phoenix, Will Be
Made Huge Theater

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. (P-Not
to be outdone by peoples who roamed
the great southwest in ages past,
modern man plans to use Echo canyon,
huge natural amphitheater, as a
place of amusement.
The canyon at the foot of Camel
Back mountain is being converted
into a modern show house and where
generations ago camp fires and
torches lighted the night, electricity
will illuminate the bowl.
The amphtheater, which is esti-
mated will easily seat 25, 700 persons,
is part of Camel Back mountain
that in the rays of the setting sun
resembles a huge pink camel sleeping
on the sands of a surrounding desert.
The huge bowl, students of the pre-
historic life in Arizona believe, was
used by aborigines as a place Of
worship. Evidences found in cave
in one side of the bowl, they say,
show that the place was used for
tribal sacrifices.
In this place thousands of people
are thought to have gathered for
their ceremonies. Gradually sloping
down from the rim, the huSe DOWl
provided easy resting place for the
worshippers of former day. The
cactus covered gravel that forms the
flooring of the bowl has turned up
religious tokens, prayer sticks and
short pieces of bamboo stopped at
each end with mud and which con-
tanned plant seeds.
1t will be an amusement and en-
tertainment arena for residents of
the Salt River valley, which centers
about Phoenix. The mountain and
canyon are on the fringe of the
valley which is watered by the huge
Roosevelt dam. In this valley where
a few years ago only a desert
greeted the eye, now are thousands
of acres of citrus fruits and cotton.
The bowl has perfect acoustic pro-
perties. A person standing in the
center speaking in an ordinary tone
of voice, it is estimated, could be
heard by $4,000 persons seated around
the amphitheater.

JAPANESE ROTARIANS
MAKE PROMPTNESS PAY

KYOTO, Japan, Feb. (R)-An in
noyation of the occident is teaching
promptness in Japan.
For many centuries, leisurely Nip
pom took it's time about business and
social engagements A host planning
o'clock dinner invited the guests
for o'clock in order to get them
there by z.
The Rotary, the civic luncheon
club of the western hemisphere, came
to Japan and established a club in
Kyoto, with a Japanese membership.
Tojiro Takegami, president of the
club, announced luncheon for noon,
taking greatly to heart the assertion
of the headquarters office that every
meeting of Rotary must begins and
end on time.
The luncheon began, promptly, and
most of the guests, arriving several
hours late, found the meeting over
and the tables cleared. Such pro-
cedure caused a sensation, TakegamI
declares, but a few lessons in
punctuality brought results. Today,
the president says, business men are
making engagements by Rotary
time" signifying that they expect
promptness. -

PAINT, JAZZ, TOBACCO
HELP BUY SEVEN STATES

STAUNTON, Va, Feb. (P)-Much
has been said and written about jazz,
paint and tobacco, but little said of
the fact the success of the first
League of Nations" depended largely
upon them.
They were part of the price paid
for that vast territory which now
includes the states of West Virginia,
Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Illinois, as revealed in
deed on record here.
A full council of Indians met at
Logs Towne, on the Ohio river,
August 2, 1749, to sell the land so
much desired by the early settlers
of the Valley of Virginia to George
Croghan, of the Province of Penn
sylvania.
The purchase price included so
pounds of vermillion, ten dozen jews
harps, 120 pounds of tobacco, and
calico, serge, ribbon, fire arms, am
munition, knives and hatchets.

Wheat Pit calendar /"
Used Despite Sneers

CHICAGO, Feb. P-Trading in
grain "by the calendar" is no super
stition with some of the men who
stand daily in the wheat pit, even
though it is scoffed at by many.
Many grain spectators admit
carrying for quick reference printed
card known as the calendar" or
"the voice from the tomb which
tells the dates when, in pit tradition.
grain can be bought or sold most
advantageously One big grain COM
rany has gone so far as to circularize
clients, calling attention to a certain
day as the calendar time to sell
wheat.
The reputed author of the calendar
is the late Henry A. Driver, long
a successful member of the board
of trade The scoffers say factors
have altered so greatly that the
voice" is behind the times.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Feb. Up
The New York Statei Press associa-
iton is among the oldest press or
ganizations in the world. 1t is OBJ
serving it's seventy-fifth anniversary.
The association was organized in Ell
mira in 1853 by 80 editors, publish
ers and printers, under the name of
the Western New York Typograph-
ical association" It's stated objective
was to advance the standard of jour-
nalism and make it a profession in
which truth, manhood, honor and
justice, and all the sweet brood of
Christian graces shall have their
home"
The organization was gradually eX-
tended to include the whole state,
and it's name was changed several
times before it was given the pres
ent name, in 1874.
Elmer C. Conrath of Cuba y. Y,

RAW SUGAR ADVANCES.

NEW YORK, September Is P).-A

Of a cent occurred in the raw sugar
market today. Sales reported were
$4,000 bags Of Philippine and 10000
bags of Cuban for october shipment to
local refiners at ass.
Raw sugar futures were firm ana
more active on covering and commits
sion house buying. some of which was
believed to be for Cuban and European
account, inspired by reports that
San Domingo had tacitly agreed to CO
operate with Cuba in the matter OF
crop restriction. Other contributing
factors were the firmness in the spot
market, a higher London market, and
reports of unfavorable weather for
the growing beet crops abroad. The
market opened unchanged to ,
points higher and continued to adj
vance, and at midday was to points
above previous close. New crop de-
liveries showed the maximum gains.
No changes were reported in refined
sugar prices, which ranged from $50
TO 800 for fine granulated. A fair to
good inquiry was reported at the in
