IN the minds Of the public the bill
became purely branch bank legisla-

The most important features of
the act were those which place
national banks on a plane of COM

banks in the various States of the
Union.
These features embody particu.
laTly indeterminate characters for
national banks, removing one real

Carl Knutson Returns
From Trip to South
American Mine Region

Carl r. Knutsor, mine superin-
tendent, 926 Ninth street, who has just
returned from a trip through the min
ing district of South American Andes
mountains, yesterday said the mines of
that country are mostly American
owned and operated and that the same
modern methods are used there as are
employed in mines of Arizona.
Knutson, who has lived in Douglas
Is years, has been identified with sew
eral mines in this district as foreman
and superintendent He left here last
November for the South American trip,
making both the downward and return
trips by water from New York. He
had little to say of the mines he visited
but said he was impressed by some Of
the scenery in the Andes mountains.
He returned with numbers of photo
graphs of mining towns in the Andes,
pictures of Llamas bearing sacks Of
ore from the hills and many views Of
natives of the South American coun-
tries and their various tasks. Knutson

first landed in Chile, then went to.
Bolivia and next to Peru. Most of his
time was spent in Bolivia, he said. ssg
Knutson said. he believes press re-
ports Of bolshevism in Chile have been
exaggerated. At the time he was there
the bolshevist meetings We're erepressed
in Santiago, he said. South Americans,
especially the people of Bolivia, are
friendly to North Americans and North
American capital. Knutson said. He
said also that all the South American
countries welcome people from the
United States.
While in Peru Nnutson visited the
ancient walled city of Chan Chan, near
the seaport of Salaverry. This city,
constructed entirely of adobe, is
thought by scientists to be many
thousand years old and was at one time
encircled by an adobe wall 80 feet high.
Portions of the wall are still standing,
Knutson said This ancient city is con-
sidered one of the most interesting in
Peru. N
While in Bolivia, Knutson travelled
quite extensively in the mountains. He
said the mining country of Bolivia is
in high attitudes, most of it being in
the neighborhood of 1900 feet above
the sea. Knutson said he has no irnme-
diate plans for the future.

tary of the Douglas Chamber of Com
merce and Mines, from j. B. Bristol,

Concerning the method to be used to
raise funds for the picnic, Bristol
wrote: They have adopted the plan
suggested by this chamber of COM
merce, l. e. that toll stations be estab-
Iished north and south ofsHannagan's
meadows and so cents collected from
each passenger in cars destined for
the picnic.
Each car is to be given tag and
each Individual in the car also will be
given a tag, which is to be worn at the
picnic The fund thus raised will re-
imburse the Clifton Commercial club
for advances made in providing
barbecue and other entertainment fea-
lures and to make provision for the
comfort of those attending the picnic .
The picnic will come soon after the
end of the state convention of the
American legion at Springerville.
Hannagan's meadows is located be-
tween Springerville and Clifton. The
first Arizona picnic was held last year.
Hannagan's meadows has been selected
as the place at which it is to be held
each year, The picnic last year was
in the form of a celebration at the
opening of the Coronado trail.

O. Why does Web Cord add to the mileage
of United States Tires?
A. Consider first what happens in balloon
tire-the extent TO which the side@wall struc.
ture must constantly bend and recover. Com
bined fexibility and strengthare demanded
far beyond the needs of high pressure tires.
Web Cord is the completely satisfying
answer to these requirements. By soaking
the cord in pure, liquid latex, each tiny fibre
of the cotton is insulated with rubber. And
this more intimate union between cord and
rubber is accomplished without the use Of
weakening chemical solvents.
Furthermore, the latex qVebs the. cords
together without the use of cross-tie threads.
One of the major causes of internal friction
is removed.
The result is maximum strength with
maximum fexibility which means maxi
mum mileage.

U. S. IN TEREST
IN POLITICS IS
SEEN TAGGING
William Allen White Calls
'ReveIry' Tonic for
Apathetic Voters.

Ry United Press
NEW YORK, Nov. Next years
presidential election will mean less
to the people of the United States
than any which has preceded 1t,
Judging by the opinion OF William
Allen White, one of the outstanding
Republican leaders of the Middle
West.
A trip to New York for a meeting
of the Rockefeller Foundation was
made the occasion by White for a
scanning of the political horizon, a
speech on western political view
points and a general summary Of
the low ebb in American political
interest.
People Blamed for Fixture
Seen by a United Press CORE
spondent between the acts of Rev
elry," just before that production
closed its New York engagement, the
Emporia, Kan, editor discussed rea-
sons for failure of this sensational
play to attract the public.
"The people of the United States
just don't give a darn" said White,
who editorially praised the book
"Revelry" when it first appearede.
Their apathy is partly a result OF
postwar diSillusionment. 'Revelry'
is quitting New York, is being taken
off the boards in the United States,
because the doingS of our officials at
Washington, D. c., fail to interest
the people as they did ten years
ago."
Samuel Hopkins Adams, author OF
"Revelry," said White, had cracked
the shell" and aroused the people of
the country when he gave an inside
picture of graft and corruption in
Washington. BY doing SO, said the
editor, Adams has rendered a serv-
ice to the American people.
Praises Hoover
But the pepole are not so much
interested in political matters and
the best leaders are not going in for
politics as they did a decade ago"
said White. Our great men are
more and more taking an interest
in inventions, in business. loath
the word business, but it is unques-
tionably taking many of our best
men from State pursuits"
AS to presidential candidates,
White praised the record of Her.
bert Hoover, whom he supported in
the 1924 convention. He also adj
mitted the great popularity of Gov
ernor Al Smith of New York, but
refused to concede any great
strength to Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,.

Indy PUSHES
AIR MAIL TO
new RECORDS
Service He Deserted for Sea
Dash Grew Al Per Cent
in Two Months.
BY DAN WILLIAMS

ScrippS- Howard STAN Correspondents
NEW YORK, Nov. Last May a
blond haired young air mail f1ier
strayed from his route and flew to
Paris. And the air mail he had de-
serted grew Al per cent the, next two
months.
It grew from $4,000 pounds in May
to 100000 in July, an increase OF
41000. It had grown only 1000
pounds, or two per cent, the pre-
vious month. The two months in
crease, still augmenting, means
$4,000 more a month in postal
revenue to Uncle Sam.
The young pilot who Somehow in
Huenced this odd phenomena is
modest, but you know his name
Charles A. Lindbergh.
Volume Is Doubled
Postmaster General New gave out
these figures at the conclusion of
Lindbergh's three-months tour of
forty-eight States. He revealed that
the air mail last month was almost
double its volume of the same month
a year ago. He said also:
cat every office Colonel Lindbergh
visited there was substantial in
crease in the air mail, especially for
the day of the visit. The net re-
suit, am sure, will prove that a
definite gain was made"
When Lindbergh returned from
his European triumph to tumultu-
GUS reception here he could have be-
come millionaire by nodding his
head.
Spurns Easy Money
True, Lindbergh's homecoming did
not impoverish him, but he turned
his back on hundreds of thousands
of proffered easy dollars to make
this much less remunerative tour, an
ordeal, it turned out, more strenu-
GUS than his transatlantic flight.
And this tour, like his flight, was
SO skillfully executed that he was
late at only one of eighty-two cities
visited-he was delayed by bad
fog. There were no accidents, no
overhauls, no forced landings and
no delays of any sort from mechan-
ical difficulties.
Harry Guggenheirn, president #
the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for
the Promotion of Aviation, which
sponsored the trip said, said:
Makes 147 Speeches
"Lindbergh and his co-pilot, Lieu,
tenant Love, demonstrated cohclu-
sively that lwell-constructed planes,
maintained in good condition and
carefully operated, provide as safe
means of transport as the auto
mobile and the railroad train.
Some of the anguish to which
Lindbergh's modest soul was sub
jected in his service to an ideal is
measured in these figures:
Number of speeches made, lat.
Number of dinners attended, SO.
Number Of miles paraded, 1926.
Number of persons who saw plane,
parade, etc., 100000.
