Held At Prescott
On Three Charges

c. H. Williams, who was arrested
in Flagstaff on Saturday and returned
to Prescott, will face a trio of charges
when the county attorney at that place
has time to prepare them, it was said
at the sheriff's office there, unless
he plans to plead guilty, which was
intimated
Williams, it is alleged, stole two
automobiles, choosing Chevrolets, then
forged a check and passed two or
three others which were similarly
worthless. The first car he sold in
Nogales, the story goes, and then
bummed ride back to Prescott with
a chance acquaintance. That man also
had a Chevrolet, which henparked at
Weaver's garage in that city. Soon
after, Williams is said to have called
for it, saying he was brother of the
man who owned it. He paid the stor-
age and left. In his wake, he left the
string of bad checks, one Of them,
which he cashed at Biles' store, being
for $40.

it was decided by the officers that the

He read letters of cooperation from
the Durango and Grand Junction,

latter said that the proposed route
would be the only true winter road be-

B. "a. Cameron Of Flagstaff, who
had arranged the joint meeting, said
he had been over the entire route and
there is no more interesting one than
this and that he felt sure that with
proper cooperation it can be built.
e. A. Rlordan Of Flagstaff said that
Arizona has two east and west trunk
highways, but no north and south
highway clear out of the state, and
that because Of this lack most tour
lists miss the most interesting scenery
in the west.
This road and the ore into Utah By
way Of the new Lees Ferry bridge
over the Colorado river and Grand
Canyon will bring many more people
into both Arizona and Utah with great
benefit to both states, Mr. Riordan
said. The highway also would be 4

NOTED EDUCATOR TALKED
TO ROTARIANS ON CRIME


DR.. Edward Thomas Devine, dean
OF the graduate school, American uni
versity, Washington, d. c., and lee
turer on education, social work, in
dustrial problems, foreign relations,
etc, was the principal speaker at
Tuesdays Rotary meeting, the pro-
gram for which was arranged and ably
carried out by Billy Switzer, chairman
for the day.
DIR. Devine talked on the increase in
crininality in this country during the
last few decades; the great excess in
crime IN this country compared with
that in other countries, and the fail
ure of our courts to effect a reduction
in crime. He believes our system of
punishment for crime is wrong, in
that it does not specialize. A better
way than to fit the punishment to the
crime, he said, is to fit it to the man
after careful examination has been
made into his physical condition, to
ascertain whether he is diseased, into
his mentality, his antecedents, his en-
ylronment, his social and economic
background. Many criminals should
be hospitalized and others educated.
In those cases in which hospital treat
ment or education or both cannot be
reasonably certain of providing
against return to crime should be per-
inanently kept where they can do no
harm, even though their crimes were
not extreme. Those who can be cured
Of the mental or physical disorders
believed to have been largely instru-
mental in making them criminals
should be restored to society when a
cure has been effected.
Education should be employed as a
crime deterrent. DR.. Devine said the
schools, homes and churches had a
great responsibility in this direction,
and that there is nothing more pro-
ductlve of clean living than organized
sports. Boy scouting is also won
derful preventative of crime, he said.
President A. J. Mackey read let
ter from Rev. Fr. E. Albouy, in Os-
tend, Belgium, at the Rotary Inter
national convention. The padre, who
said he was the only padre attending
the convention, was having a profit |
able, enjoyable time of it. He said
District Governor Lloyd Henning of |
Holbrook and his wife were having a |
pretty tedious time there as Lloyd had |
been Ill in bed with lumbago ever since
his arrival.
Art Riordan, acting as secretary in
the absence of Tom Mccullough, read
some messages sent by foreign Rotary
clubs expressing sympathy for Mis-
Sissippi flood sufferers.

LITTLE BENNY

Deer Shorty, You would think this
was a crate country. A lot of the
fellows over heer aint eny bigger than
you are even after they get to be II
yeers old, so you would be considered
a pritty big guy for your age. Besides
that, you could proberly lick them
even if they was bigger, because l
never met sutch easy guys to push
over. The ony thing you got to be
careful of is their feet, because you
can do a lot of kicking over heer and
still not be considered a coward.
G Shorty you awt to heer the auto
mobeel horns over heer. They sound
like the little tin horns kids blow at
New Yeers. They don't hardly sound
like enuff to get out of the way for,
ony of corse you do jest the same be-
cause Of corse nobody wunts to get hit
even by little automObeel no matter
if it has a sissy horn or not.
If you wunt to drink water in res
terant over heer they bring it TO you
in bottle and you haff to pay for it.
Hows that for n cinchy way to make
money? / CESS that why you never

The Frentch boys wear black aprons
out in the street to keep their clothes

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

It is a constant wonder to all of
us why we always look forward TO
the coming day or week or month
instead of enjoying the one that We
have with us. 1t seems to be just
one of our ways of rushing through
life.
The mother never can wait calmly
until each stage of the childs deve.-
opment arrives. She wants to see
the first smile. She longs for the
first tooth. She can't wait until she
props him up in a chair. She rushes
him into rompers and then into pants.
Never content with today. she tries
to make a wee man out of the baby.
It's too bad, because the baby is
always quite satisfied with the day
that he is living; it is only his
mother who anticipates the future.
AS q. case in point, Mrs. T. Fl. D
writes: My baby is months old
and is fat and healthy. He can hold
up his head beautifully. How soon
can l prop him up with pillows? He
loves riding in the car and We plan
to take an auto trip as soon as it is
cooler. Is he too young for this?
He seems to want to eat whenever
right to give him a chicken bone or
a piece of bacon rind?"
Answer-Having read the above,
you know that l deplore this tend
ercy of young mothers to hurry their
babies into the next stage of devel-
opment Don't prop up the baby.
When he is or months old he
will be holding his head up without
effort, and by being put in his crib
or on the floor at certain times of
the day he can pull himself up and
indulge this new activity. Then
when he is tired he can flop back on
the floor.
1t may seem as if pillows will sup
port n baby's back, but what really
happens is that the poor baby sinks
back into the pillows, unable to re-
lax entirely because of them and
with his back bent into a letter G..
"A strong baby doesn't need or want
the pillows. A weak baby shouldn't
be urged to sit up.
I do not think a 3-month old baby
is too young for long auto ride, and
also i think he's far, far too young
for chicken bones or bacon rinds (if
he is ever old enough for the latter).
Don't rush these things. Stick to the
foods that he needs and when he
needs them and don't try to make
an adult out of him yet.
baby from weeks to. years will be
mailed to any mother who sends a self-ad-
dressed stamped envelope with a request
for it.

A Milk Diet.

There are several sanitariums in the
country which give different forms of
milk diet. can recommend this treat
n,ent as being marvellous for any one
suffering from chronic constipation or
A bad skin. acid stomach-your doctor
will list a lot of real diseases for you,
too, which the milk diet will cure.
In one sanitarium l know, the first
day the patient is given diet of fruit,
wiiole-wheat bread and butter. The
second day, fruit alternates with a
glass of milk. The first day, that is,
there will be six meals of fresh fruit:
the second day. three Of milk, three of
fruit. The third day, a glass of milk
is drunk every hour from 8 in the
morning to 10 at night. The fourth
day, a glass of milk is taken every
55 minutes. The following day, one
every so minutes.
As the weeks go on. this treatment
continues, the time between glasses Of
milk coming down at last to one every
20 minutes-in a few cases. every 15.
The system must be gradually adjust
ed to 1t, and at first. no matter what
the trouble, the system Is cleared by
the fruit and the smaller amount of
milk. Most patients have to take a

Creamed Oysters.

Cook one quart Of oysters in their
liquor until the edges begin to curl.
Do not let them cook too long or they
will be tough. Strain off the liquor.
To this liquor add enough milk to

one half a cupful of butter and add
one-half a cupful of -four. stirring un-

about 10 minutes to do away with
the starchy flavor of the flour. Add
the oysters and one teaspoonful of
salt and a little pepper, and one
fourth teaspoonful of onion juice if
desired, and serve at once in patty
shells or on toast. Do not let creamed
oysters stand too long. or at all, as

Hopeful Hints.

Never feel hopeless about yourself
You can he good looking If you want
to try. There are all sorts of little
things you can do to yourself to i'm
prove the gifts you already have. II
only we all realized that prettiness
is within our reach always. and that
we need not be born beautiful to
be so!
Here follow Just few hints about
what we can do to improve our ap-
pearance:
We can have a clear, glowing skin.
That is moderate health and cleanE-
ness, plus a little common sense. A
dry skin needs oil TO feed it, an
oily skin needs astringents; burned
skins need oils and bleaches: the
'city complexion" needs cleansing
with creams as we'll as soap and
water, and all complexions need
watchful care.
We can have thick and glossy, live
hair-this again is the result OF con-
tinual care. Some inherit thin hair,
but good care will improve even this,
and the thinnest hair can be becom- =
ingly dressed. Again it is matter
of absolute, sanitary cleanliness, of
nourishment il the scalp needs 1t, OF
stimulation and announcement.
We can all have beautiful finger
nails. And we need not trust to the
professional manicurist, for the nails
are absurdly easy to manicure at
home. Then it is a matter OF find
ing which shape of nail suits your
finger best. and whether your nails
need nourishment-some do, you see
