Listen, Shurazelle, cere amt no use

our wimmen tough. We likes women
which will sass us back and tell us to
60 to hell when we asks them 70 do
anything, out which will finally do 1t
after we lambasts EN- up side the head
coupla times. Yves hard on our
winmen, gal, hard. We tries dere jaws
daily and we keeps EN- busy buying
linament and stickin' plasters. We
couldn't do any good wild gal which
would bust out cryin' de first tim we
cussed her out good and would faint

Lothrop Stoddard wrote THE Rising
Tide of Color 1t created furore. Now
he seeks to create another such furore
by writing 1.-THE ImpasSe at the Color
Line" He gets al worked I'D because
Ir. Alein Locke makes q simple and
perfectly natural 1ppea 1or racial fair
play.
MI. Stoddard says that there will he
no yielding of the color line. He says
that Americans are willing to shed
their blood before they yield He says
that he speaks as a rock-ribbed New
Englander Of considerable background.
Well it only proves what was strongly
suspected when he wrote his first I'M
fortunate book on the color question.
He just doesn't know what he is talking
about. And if he keeps up he will go
insane on the subject. Many Stoddards
have gone before. But the color line
yields just the same. 1t will continue
to yield. And if Mr.. Stoddard would
investigate life more and write less
he too would come to that conclusion.

BEAUTIFUL LEGS
PASSING ON HIGH
HEELS -CHIROPS

The shape of women's legs is
changing and the change is not for
the better
Having made an intensive study of
the subject, the chiropodists Of Cali
fornia ought to know, and at their
convention in Los Angeles recently
they made the positive statement that
beautiful legs are disappearing.
High heels are to blame, A. d.
Cranstoun, past president Of the as
sociation, declared, and the ESQ Chi
ropodists present agreed with him.
ssIf the Lord had intended that
woman should wear a three-inch spike
on her heel he would have provided
il, Mr.. Cranstoun remarked. by
trying to improve on nature women
who wear high heels are changing the
shape of their legs. The muscle in
the calf is being shortened and from
disuse it is atrophying. If they con-
tinue to wear these heels the calf will
continue to slide up toward the knee
in an ugly bunch and all the beautiful
symmetry that has given women JUS
tifiable pride in their legs will vanish.

Woman Indicted For
Marrying Nephew

The arrest of 43-year old woman
and her husband, 20 years her junior,
on a warrant charging the couple
with incest, and the serving of war;
rants on three Phoenix business men
charged with violating the gambling
laws, were the outstanding events IN
the wake of the county grand jury's
preliminary report made to Superior
Judge M. T. Phelps last Wednesday
night.
Mary J. Smith, the only woman
named thus far by the grand jury in
true bill, and Bert Kelmer Smith,
20, admittedly Mrs. Smiths nephew
and husband, were arrested by Depu-
ty Sheriffs McFadden sand Emmons
on the incest warrant.
Mr.. and Mrs Smith were the first
of those taken in the grand jury drag
net to see the inside of a jail. They
were both committed in default Of
bail bonds fixed at $4,000 each.
At the sheriff's office, Mrs. Smith,
employed at Phoenix laundry, freely
admitted that she had married her
sisters son and seemed surprised that
she and her youthful husband had
thereby incurred the laws displeas-
ure.

WEereupOn Hangs
a Tale of O. Shirt


Joe Duran harbors a possibly
forced admiration for Flagstaff, one
that couldn't be turned to account in
literature Of the Flagstaff chamber
Of commerce. 1t seems that when
Joe is in Flagstaff he more or less
works.
But Joe couldn't stay around work
but came to Prescott where his time
and energy were devoted to shoplift-
ing and possibly other forms of petty
thievery. At any rate he lifted a
shirt at Oscar Bruchman's and sold
it to a Mexican lady who runs a small
one-room restaurant on Granite Greek
and they caught him.
Chief of Police Campbell took Joe
and the lady to Judge Clarke's yes
terday for a chat, and the court IN
quired if Joe did not prefer Flag
staff to Prescott. To make Joe's
mind up for him, Judge Clarke said
that if he liked Prescott SC well he
couldn't leave it by daylight the next
day, he would thereup begin 60-day
residence in the county jail Joe used
a good forceful Spanish word that
means Immediately" and said he
would leave then. Prescott-Journal

of his friends the following poem by
another Rotarian, Sam F. Kiefer of
Spokane, Wash.
A fool there was and he drove jit.
Even as you and 1.
He loaded his folks and his camp
outfit
And sought out the mountains high.
He found him place that looked
right nice
Where the grass was green and the
waters ice,
Where the song birds sang in the
stately trees
Humnaed drowsy tune in the sum
mer breeze.
He made his camp and he fished the
creek,
While his children played in the
shade.
Cleansing their bodies and rinsing
their souls
In paradise God had made.

Mornin' on the desert, and the wind

No more stuffy cities, where you have

Where the helpless human crea-

Mornin' on the desert, and the air is

And it seems like all creation has

No house to stop my vision, save a

And the little dobe shanty that be-

Lonesome? Not minute! Why I've

And we jest go campin' in 'em with

Just having returned from the State
Press club meeting at Nogales, and
feeling both poetical and indolent,
we'll conclude this weeks installment
of the worlds best literature with the
following, "The Indian Weaver" writ
ten by Edwin L. Sabin:
Yonder amidst the blistering sands,
The Indians rude-built hogan stands,
Under the blue and flawless sky
Meath which fair crest and canyon lie.
Patterned with mystic, strange de-
sign
With square and fret-work and bar
and line
Here on the loom behold it grow:
The blanket of the Navajo.
Ploddingly woven, thread by thread,
In white and black, in the grey and
red,
Emblems bearing of life and death,
The lightning's path, the storm clouds
breath,
Slope Of mountain and drench of rain,
The four winds, issue of peak and
plain,
Village, and journey long and steep,
The blanket fills while Craze the
sheep.

Miss Louise Wild, one of the teach
ers at Emerson school, was sort of
combining civics and public etiquette
in a little talk to her class of young
sters, and told them one of the hard
ships of being placed in Jail was the
diet of bread and water.
"But my papa had soup, just lots of
soup, when he was in jail" interposed
a member of the class.

Person - City Cleaner
Than Others of Size.

About six tons of SCOT fall daily in
Indianapolis, according to James
Knox, smoke inspector. This makes
one'half ounce a person a day or
1895 pounds person a year.
This makes Indianapolis very far
below the average in SCOT fall, Knox
stated.
According to Claude A. Campbell.

authority, two and three-fifth pounds
of SCOT a person each day in the aver
age city the size of indianapolis. This
would makee 949 pounds a person

Our greatest amount of smoke
comes from the residential sections.

900 fire are built in the city.
Knox declared that overlooking of
furnaces that causes the greatest

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. 25.-
Miss Edith Days divorce suit
against Pat Somerset came to trial
in Hennepin County District Court
today, although the star of "Rose
Marie" Orange Blossoms" Irene, -
and other musical comedy successes
is pursuing her stage career in Lon

So painless is the 1927 fashion of
divorce that her counsel will rely
upon brief deposition made by Miss
Day in London and the testimony of
two witnesses, to win her a decree.

The business of being a grand

Mothers, too, have their duties to-

And the first of these is to show re-

The second is not to shift the bur.
