meet the building Of Wupatlxi, Aztec
and Chaco, bringing them reasonably
close together. The remark has been
made that as the ruins are in such
good shape, and the skeletons are so
well preserved, "that it could not have
been many years since those people
lived here" but the fact of this coun-
try having such dry climate was not
considered when that statement was
made. Taking Flagstaff as start
ing point, there are more interesting
places to visit than any other place
in the United States, but until this
fact is known to the general public
we will miss lots of advertising that
would bring us visitors by the hum

said that he would have the Picture

would have no trouble in finding the
location.

this location with the date of May 18,

CIGARETTES MADE BY
BILLIONS IN THE U. s.

Almost hundred billion cigarettes
were manufactured in registered fac
tories and bonded manufacturing
warehouses in the United States last
year. The census bureau announced
this week that more than $500 mil
lion cigarettes were exported, leaving
about ninety billion for consumption
at home. Cigars manufactured and
removed for consumption totalled al
most seven billion, and almost half of
them, or 42 per cent to be exact, were
intended to retail for not more than a
nickel. "Stogies" comprised about 90
per cent of this class Only Q per cent
of the total were intended to retail
for more than Is cents each.

U. S. SENDS 1872 MILLION
GOODS TO LATIN AMERICA
Southern Republics in 1926 Sold
Only $500, 100000 More Than
They Bought Here.

Countries of Latin America. which
constitute an important factor IN
United States foreign trade, sold only
5000 900 900 more goods in 1926 than
they bought from this country.
A comparison drawn up today by
DR., julius Klein. director of the B'l-
reau of Foreign and Domestic COM
merce, showed that United states eN-
ports to Latin America during the
year. which had value of SSS2 $40
900. declined about ! per cent from
the 1925 total, while this country's
imports from the same territory
amounting to Sl.044 1854 goo, were
about 3ia per cent greater than those
of 1925.
A qualifying consideration in the
trade, Dr.. Klein added. lies in the fact
that large proportion Of petroleum,
fruit. sugar. copper and tropical com
modities imported into the United
States from South and Central Amer
lea are produced by companies and Ell
terprises owned in the United States.
Notwithsta ndng. the imports from
the Latin American area into the
United States were probably the lafS'
est in quantity during 1926 OF any
year in history. though the values OF
such imports during war years, when
high prices prevailed. We're said by DR..
Klein to have presented greater to-

TRAFFIC SHIFT JAMS
MCPHERSON SQUARE
Vermont Avenue, Between H and
I, One Way for No1thbound
Travel Now.

Changing the traffic system around
Mcpherson Square confused motorists
and resulted in jam this morning as
the rush hour traffic descended on the
business district. The change went
into effect at s o'clock and motorists
unfamiliar with the new arrangement
became enmoshed i'm a tangle.
. Traffic Director NJ o. Eldridge be
iieves that as soon as motorists be-
come familiar with the plan traffic
will move smoothly around the square.
The change made Vermont avenue
between III and / streets one-way
'horoughfare for northbound traffic
and abolished center parking on this
street i'm front of the Veterans Blu
reau. Cars may be parked on an
angle at the curbs. All northbound
ira ffic moves from Vermont avenue
and III street west of the square
Fifteenth street east of the square
is now a two-way thoroughfare, so
that motorists coming down Vermont
avenue continue straight through to
Fifteenth street and New York ave
nue.. This street was formerly one
way thoroughfare for northbound
ira ffic.
The new plan will be tried as an
experiment and if successful, auto
matte traffic signals will be erected
mt the four corners of the square.

SEES MILK BOOTLEGGING.
New York Commissioner Protests
Bill to President.

Milk bootlegging, compared to which
liquor bookkeeping is trivial, would be
introduced in New York State and
New England generally by the APP
pEoval Of the Lenroot Taber milk bill,
President Coolidge was told today by
Louis [. Harris, milk commissioners of
New York City.
;rhe bill would deprive New York
Clay of the 100, 900 quarts of milk
which. daily come from Canada he
said end would also deprive Boston
of NIX from the same source. The
conflict between the two cities over
their milk supply would become much
worse. in the opinion of Harris. and
this would bring about bootleg@ins of
milk from unresulated and uncertified
milk sources.
The measure. now before the presi-
dent for signature, is designed 10 fiX

gaGement to Mrs. Rita d'Acosta
