Home BrelU Makes
Girls Steal Auto

If two pretty Yuma, Ariz, girls had
not consumed too much home brew
last Thursday night, they might still
be ''prfssing" about their own home
town, instead of looking through the
bars Of the FL Paso city jail.
The girls We're picked up" in
Cleevland square, FL Paso, Saturday
night as they slept, following a hard
days ride from Albuquerque
A telegram from the Yuma sheriff
to 81 Paso police says the girls must
face charges of automobile theft.
And the girls, as defiant as the sher-
iff is determined, say that they will
"die hard death" before they sign
extradition papers.
In the meantime, the automobile
which the girls took French leave
from Yuma in is parked at the side
of the highway, four miles out of
Maricopa, Ariz., with a flat tire.
Myrtle Bueler, 18, vivacious
blonde, and Billie Garexemer, Is, bru-
nette, tell long story Of laughs,

Mr.. Barber said. "The newspapers

But Sergeants Herrick and Redding
say they are certain it will be possible

eastern salons.
John Wetherill of Kayenta was
guide and counselor Of the expedi-
ton. He was in charge of the first
expedition of white men that Naxhav
Begay led to view the bridge. The
expedition roughly followed the orig
inal Wetherill trail around the north
side of Navajo mountain as taken, by
| the discovering party.
| Ordinary dedication ceremonies
take place in conventional surround
ings and fornality. Though the ac-
tual dedication was deeply inspira-
tional and formal, events leading to it
were unusual. Just the physical feat
of getting the plaque to its final des-
tination was an undertaking requiring
no little strength, endurance and in
genuity.
The plaque weighed $50 pounds,
was wide and long and awkward to
handle. 1t could not be taken in on
mule back on account of its shape
So travois, common means of
transportation to the native Piute,
was fashioned of two cedar poles, Ia
feet long, upper ends fastened to the
pack saddle, the other ends dragging
To this the Grated plaque was securely
lashed and thus dragged Is miles To
the bridge by mule.
More than once disaster threatened.
The most hazardous part of the trip
was rounding rs foot stretch across
the Bald Rocks where the narrow
pathway tipped outward and down
ward at an angle of 45 degrees above
a deep and precipitous canyon. Mem
bers of the party from the rocks
above held Phoebe, the mule, on the
trail by ropes lashed to the travois
and pack saddle. There were sighs of
relief when she reached the end Of this
dangerous ledge.
Not so dangerous but more provok-
ing was negotiating tortuous half
mile in the bottom Of side canyon
into Bridge Canyon, where no 10 con-
secutive feet Of trail was straight and
the space between the rocky walls was
so narrow that the pack saddles con
stantly scraped the walls.
Members of the party saved the
travois poles and oak cross-rods to be
carved into mementoes. Wilbur Hall,
Saturday Evening Post writer, carved
a walking stick from an oak cross
piece to go into his large and inter-
esting collection Of canes.
The return was around the southern
side of Navajo mountain by the Bern
heimer trail to Rainbow Lodge Mr.
Pinkley visited for the first time
Betatakin ruin, which for the past few
years has been under his supervision.

Mr.. Kerby in his answer points out
that the eighth legislature enacted a
measure repeating the present certifi-
cate of title law, and that within 80
days after the legislature had adj
journed a referendum petition bearing
5,726 names was filed referring the
repeal measure to the electorate at the
next general election.
Notwithstanding that, he declares
the eighth legislature then re-enacted
the certificate of title law in the high
way code, which was passed at a spe-
cial session last month.
1t is the contention of the secretary
of state that operation of the repeal
was stayed by the referendum as pro-
vided under the state constitution and
is not effective until voted on by the
electorate of the state.

Capt. George NJ. Carro-Jones, Labor

did not realize that Il prompt and
whole hearted acceptance of President

valuable than tardy reply.
The premier pointed out that the
communication had been received only
last Thursday night, and added that
there were many considerations which
had to be borne in mind over which
the cabinet had no control.
Rennie Smith, also a Laborite asked
whether the premier would not con

LOANS MAY HANG
ON NAVAL FARLEY
Powers Failing to Limit Ar
mament May Find Ameri-
can Money Tight.
RY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Shall the American people continue
to lend money to foreign governments
which fail to limit their naval arma-
n2ent?
This is the question which will CON
front the American Government in the
event shat President Coolidge's pro
posal for conference of naval powers
Is Blocked by nava!ists in foreign
countries.
Presiden; Coolidge is deeply in earn
est in his plea for reduction of naval
armament. and while the press dis
patches from abroad indicate that
Great E"itain. France. Japan and Italy
are willing to enter a Darey for the
purpose of discussion, there is a hint
that reservations of such q nature
may be made by some of the powers
SO as TO make agreement impossible.
May Reach Understanding.
While no hint has come from Coy
eminent circles as vet, il WAS pointed
out here today that the United States
Government hes not deviats ID at all
from its loan policy. which froWns on

tive purposes" Sums spent for mill
tary and naval purposes are not CON
Sidered pruductiVa' loans by the
American Government. Such a policy,
however. cannot he made effective IN
less the principal lending powers
agree, and it would not be surprising
If the United States proposed 10 Great
Britain that there be a joint under
standing so that the naval ambitions
Of all powers may he curbed. Since tho
United States and Great Britain are
willing to suspend further expansion
of navies. the feeling is that the other
powers should do likewise or run the
risk of getting no financial support.
The borrowings of foreign govern
meDtS over a period of years Will
continue, no doubt, to he affected by
the attitude of the American peop}"
and, though there is no law TO pre-
vent the floating of foreign loans in
the United States. the policy of the
Washington Government has been TO
internose objections to any loan
which is contrary to the tnterna-
tional policy Of the United States.
May Lose Support.
Thus none Of the countries which
had failed tn arrange funding OF
war debts was permitted to float
a loan in the United States.
In brief il any of the naval powers
incur the displcasura of American pub

date for the presidential nomination
who has stood for this bill? AS q
political weapon the farm bill may
prove a two-edged sword. cutting both
ways. The delegates to the next
Republican national convention from
the Southern States may hold the
balance OF power between the East
and the West. They are not likely
to be in opposition to the administra-
TONS policies.
One school Of thought is that once
the McNary Haugen bill has been de-
feated by presidential veto, the bottom
will drop out of the opposition to the
administration. Much is made Of the
fact that the farmers themselves have
not been united in the demand for
this legislation. while the consumers
generally have been opposed to it.
Another school of thought holds
that the failure of the bill viii bring
about q definite and organized opposi-
ton to the Coolidge administration
in a dozen of the agricultural States.
It holds that the failure of the bill
will give the ground for determined
effort to beat Mr.. Coolidge if he be a
candidate
