BELG|UM'S RADIO
LAW IS REMODELED
Transmitters Alone Are
Taxed Under New Rules.
Board Controls Industry.

Belgium is one of the few foreign
countries which is not taking advan-
tage of it's opportunity to collect fees
from those who listen in on radio
broadcasts. In this particular 1t fol
lows the practice in the United States,
permitting the operation of radio re-
ceiving sets without licenses or fees,
The new law, however, placed in
the hands of a board comprised of the
ministers of railroads, marine, post,
.elegraphs, telephone and aviation, re
requires that all transmitters and sets
which combine both transmitting and
receiving apparatus must be licensed
Following along similar lines to those
believed about to be enacted here, the
Belgian law places the administrati ton
6f radio matters under the supervision
Of director general of telegraphs and
telephones, somewhat as it is to be
placed here in the Department OF

TWO BOYS DROWNED IN
TYPARK LAKE SUNDAY

Two Mexican boys, HermeIindo
Garcia, IA, and Efren Juarez, 16,
were drowned last Sunday morning
about 10 o'clock in City park lake, in
the west part Of the city. 1t was one
O'Clock before the body of Garcia was
located. Juarez was found about Is
minutes later
There were no actual eye-witnesses
to the drowning, but according to the
story told by one Mexican boy, Ysllero
Sermon, Garcia and Juarez had started
for church Sunday but changed their
mind and went to the lake
None of the boys could swim. Ser
non said Garcia and Juarez had
waded out about 30 or 40 feet from
the west shore where they got on
raft and started padding with their
hands. A ball game was in progress
at the Park and Sermon said he went
over to watch it. He did not remem-
Der the time, but thought it must have
been around $50 when he last saw the
boys on the raft. There was a group
Of others in swimming near the dam.
1t was said that Garcia and JuareZ
and another Mexican boy were the
only ones in the water at the north
end of the lake. The third boy could
not be found but since there were only
two sets of clothing found on the
banks, it was believed by the officers
that he belonged to the other group.
Harry Smith, young son of Bill
Smith, truant officer, and George
Tackitt, told the officers they were
going in to swim and had started un-
dressing when they noticed two sets
of clothing on the bank near them
and at once became suspicious, since
they did not see anyone in the water
They hurried to the Tackitt home and
notified Georges father, Eddie Tack
lit, who in turn called the sheriff's Of
flee.
| Tai Jessuppe, physical director Of
| the Teachers college, who is mem
Der of the Arizona Red Cross life
saving corps, in cooperation with the
sheriff's office directed number Of
his college students and others in
search for the bodies A boat owned
by Ernest Hogan and Jack Irish was
brought over but when it was learned
that the victims did not wear any
bathing suits, the plan of dragging
the lake was abandoned John Mar
shall, city water chief, opened the
valves to allow the water to flow out
into River de Flag.
There was no evidence how long
Garcia and Juarez had been under
water before swimmers from the 9TH
er end of the lake started diving for
the bodies. Jessuppe had the search
ing party form line and systematic
search was conducted around the
shallow part of the lake. Willie Baca,
16, located Garcia. All the divers had
been searching near the channel,
where it was thought by Jessuppe the

MOVEMENT BEGUN FOR MUSEUM HERE
DR.. CAMMAGE SUGGESTED
IT AND HEADS c. OF c.
COMMITTEE TO START IT

That Flagstaff will soon have a
museum for the preservation of the
many remarkable specimens with
which this region abounds was fore
told at Mondays luncheon meeting of
the Chamber Of Commerce and made
more definite by the appointment of
a committee to at once canvass the
situation and report at next months
meeting
The impetus came in talks made by
President Grady Gammage of Flag
staff Teachers college, chairman for
the day; Prof. L. A. Adams of the
University of Illinois, Dean Lockwood
of Arizona university and Judge
Henry d. Ross of the state supreme
court.
1t was an interesting and inspiring
program presented by DR.. Gammage,
who is president of the education
committee of the chamber. Following
the enthusiastic talks on tho museum
matter, which was first broached by
Dr. Gammage, the following museum
committee was appointed: DIR. Gam
mage, chairman; t. A. Riordan, P. j.
Moran, DR.. Harold S. Cotton, G. E.
Damewood, Frank Gyberg, Major l..
F. Brady and DR.. V. NJ. Slipher.
DR.. Gammage spoke first of the
splendid spirit prevailing in the fac
ulty and student bodies at the college,
the increase of 20 per cent in regis
tration during the first five weeks of
this summer school over the same
period last year; the almost certain
selection Of Flagstaff for an all-state
summer school, perhaps beginning
next year, this selection made pos
sible largely through the splendid CO.
operation existing between the teach
ers colleges, junior colleges and state
university.
Introducing the subject of the mu-
scum, Dr. Gammage said it would
mean a great deal for Flagstaff. A
question to be settled is whether it
should be conducted by the college or
by the city. But in any event, he
said, a museum should be established.
This is one of the most interesting sec
tions in America, filled with more his
torieal and other curiosities than any
other section. ~
A museum would be a great at
traction tc tourists, he said. 1t need
not compete with any other in the
state; there is a place for one here
without trespassing upon the field of
any other.

.TlUO Women Lecturers
From Holland Taking
Many Pictures II ere

Peronne and Constance Arntzenius,
twin sisters from Holland, arrived
Thursday, very much pleased to find
that they were just in time to take
pictures of the Indian celebration
They are provided with letters from
the u S. department of the interior
and the Netherland- American founda-
tion, Washington, D. G., in which ev-
erybody is asked to help them in their
educational work
Their aim is to have pictures and
get all possible information about ev-
erything of interest in the United
States in order to use this material
in lectures in Holland This is the
fourth time they have come to Amer
lea and the fourth time that they have
driven across the continent, camping
along the way. Instead OF taking
pride in reaching the other coast in
the shortest possible time, they loiter
and take pictures by the way.
This time they came to America in
May, over a year ago, spent the win
ter in Los Angeles, then two weeks
in Sequoia national park where they
secured fine set of bear pictures.
They camped three weeks in Pelican
Island in Pyramid lake near Reno,
New, where they studied 10000 peli-
cans and came away with good pie
lures. On June 30 they began travel
ing through Nevada and Utah, view
ing the deserts, Bryce Canyon and the
North Rim and Kaibab' Forest in Ari-
zona. They say they never. saw a
more beautiful country than on their
way here by way of Lees Ferry.
They are guests this week at some
of the Babbitt ranches where they are
taking pictures of cowboy life. They
will spend all summer in Arizona and
New Mexico, and before sailing for
Holland will visit New Brunswick to
take pictures of moose.
The Misses Arntzenius, who are
twins, will give a special dance con
cert as part of the program at the
Orpheum theatre Tuesday night next
Folk songs in costume are included.

CAR STALLED ON TRACK
HIT BY FREIGHT TRAIN

Stalling his automobile on the tracks
in the way of an approaching train
Tuesday afternoon nearly resulted in
serious injuries or death to r. IL.
Theilmann and wife Of Phoenix.
Mr.. and Mrs. Theilmann were COM
ing north on Beaver street in their
auto truck and stopped when they
saw a freight train about half a mile
down the tracks. Watchman, An
thony Burke at the Beaver street
crossing, knowing that the machine
had plenty Of time to get across be-
fore the approach of the train, sig
nailed Mr.. Theilmann to go ahead.
Just ais the machine got to the main
track, for some unexplained reason
the motor stalled, leaving the front
of the truck protruding over the
track. Burke told the occupants to
get out, because he feared a collision,
and Mrs. Theilmann complied with his
request, Mr.. Theilnann, however,
stayed in the machine In an effort to
get it off the tracks The thought
that the truck might be pushed out
of danger evidently never occurred to
anyone in the excitement, as no eff
fort was made to do so.
The engineer Of the freight said he
saw the car on the track when he got
to the San Francisco street crossing
two blocks away from the stalled
truck Sensing something was wrong,
he applied the air and brought the
train almost to stop before the
truck was hit. Mr.. Theilmann was
unhurt and the truck only slightly
damaged, one wheel and fender be-
ing all that were smashed.
Mr.. Thielnnann was unable to account
for the stalling of his motor, saying he
was only in first speed when it
stopped and that he knew he had plen-
ty Of time to get across the track and
out Of the path Of the oncoming train.

mon Lake logging road is being
pushed by Woods Superintendent r. L.
Elmore, and he said yesterday it

used. Many of them are Navajo In
dians and they are satisfactory lab
orers, good workers, though prone to
lay off whenever there's anything un-
usual doing in town.
A Sante Fe railway locating engi-
neer ran the line for the extension,
which is in southeasterly direction
from the end of the present line and

TELEPHONE SURVEY FINDS

Estimating from statistics gathered
last week and this by the Mountain
States Telephone & Telegraph com.
pany, Flagstaff now has population
of between $500 and 5000, not count
ing the summer population, which is
at its peak right now and probably
swells the total to nearly $1,000 This
not including tourists who stay only
overnight, but including summer
school students and vacationists.
H. d. McVey, general manager for
the telephone company in this state,
has been here for several days direct
ing careful survey of the business
and residential sections to get bet
ter line on what the company must
do in the way of plant and equipment
increase to take care of its business
here. Below are given the results
reached in the survey. They are ex-
act, as the canvass was very care
fully made.
Number of business houses,
including all mercantile and pro-
fessional establishments and
shops, 2O1.
Number of phones now in use
in Flagstaff, 722.
Number of houses, 907.
Nc McVey decided that heavier
trunk lines will have to be installed
to take care of even a small increase
in telephone patrons, as the present
lines are carrying their peak load. In
stallation of a heavier line will be-
gin soon.
In the count of houses, none of the
cottages at Flagstaff Teachers col
lege and none of those in City park

Spanish costumes, special Spanish
dances and appropriate music, decor
ations and atmosphere will transform
Ashurst auditorium into a miniature
Spain on July 29 from nine O'Clock
until twelve for the big social affair
of the summer session-the Beaux
Arts benefit ball.
Spanish dances by members of the
faculty and by students in the physi-

tablish precedent that will be con-
tinued from year to year.
The proceeds will be put into fund
which when sufficiently large will be
awarded as scholarship to deserv-
ing and talented student.
Committees are busy making nee
essary arrangements for the ball, and
indications are that it will be one of
the most successful of it's kind the
college has ever sponsored. Those
who haven't Spanish costumes are
coming in their American clothes.
They will not miss the possibilities for
good time.
