through its secretary, Clay Hankins, to-
day issued an open statement asking
that the commission be relieved from
unjust criticism and the responsibility
for the delay be played where it prop
erly belongs"
The six projects on which repair
work will be indefinitely suspended
are The ST. David bridge across the
San Pedro river at Benson; the Wick
enburg bridge on the Phoenix-P Pres
colt road; the Fairbanks bridge across
the San Pedro; bridges at Cottonwood
and Lereaux washes, both II Navajo
county and the Wickenburg- Hot
Springs highway
Governor Hunt last July ordered an
emergency appropri e ton of 1921 900
to finance repairs to these sections of
the state highWaySystem. Question as
to legality of the appropriation was
raised, but under the formation of the
state highway commission, the appro-
priation was transferred to the fiscal
budget. The amount remained the
same.
Delay in completion of this work
is highly detrimental to the best in
terests of the state" declares the
commissions sta ement, adding that
the delay stops travel on the heaviest
arteries of travel in Arizona" Those
roads effected are the National Old
Trails highway across northern Ari-
zona, the Borderland route between
Douglas, Bisbee and Tucson, and the
PRESCOTT -Phoenix highway.
The commission claims that use of
available federal aid funds allotted to
the projects in question will be halted
through refusal of the state treasurer
TO honor warrant drawn under the
highway budget on the Wickenburg-
Hot Springs item The warrant was
entered principally to test the treas
urers course of action.
According to the highway commits
sion's statement Attorney General
Murphy has submitted a written, opin-
ion to the state auditor that the claims
under the appropriation are valid
claims and should be paid by the state.

TERRORIST BOMB
WRECKS BANKS IN
BUENOS AIRES

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. "a VP--
Christmas Eve brought injuries to
nearly. 20 persons in two terrorist
bomb explosions that wrought havoc
in two branches OF United States
banks here today.
All OF the casualties occurred in
the Buenos Aires branch OF the
National City bank OF New York
shortly before noon A clock stopped
by the explosion gave 1854 as the
exact time. Shortly afterward an
other bomb exploded at the Argen-
tine branch of the First National
bank OF Boston, about three blocks
away. These are the only American
banks in Buenos Aires, although
there are dozen other foreign banks
in the same section, the neart of the
financial district.
The explosions, attributed to Sacco-
Vanzetti sympathizers, came in the
midst of preparation for the Christ
mas holidays, just a few minutes
before the close OF work on the
regular Saturday half holiday The
injured were taken to a hospital
where it was reported that three
were seriously injured and 16 others,
including Thomas F. Little, manager
of the National City bank, we're less
seriously injured. Among those hurt
were four women.
Other Americans injured. were Will
liam Ruisler, Miss Ethel Buck, Miss
Flora Small, Mrs. Cora CotorelI
Henry Sanford and G. w. Wisely
Other foreigners injured were Miss
Erneline Beams, British, ana Joaquin
Olivia, Filipino. None OF these we're
seriously injured except Olivia.
The banks have been under guard
since the recent Sacco-V -Vanzetti
demonstrations, but vigilance was rc-
laxed, as tension over the executions
in Boston seemed to die down. Among
many theories offered was the sug-
gestion that the perpetrators got past
the guards still on duty by carrying
the bombs disguised as Christmas
packages. Until the last few days
all packages had been examined by
the guards. Approximately 600 per-
sons we're inside the National City
bank, near elevators and telephone
booths in the. rear Of the handsome
four story concrete building when
the explosion occurred.
The concussion rocked the struc
ture, shattered window panes and
other glaSsWork tore open the walls,
and doubled up the iron shutters
on the front doors of the bank
approximately 60 feet away. a Siam
pede for the doors resulted and the
narrowing cries OF the injured
mingled with the startled clamor OF
the unhurt. Firemen quickly estab-
lished a relief station two, blocks
away and all available police were
rushed to the scene.

Permanent Volue in
Tree-Skcdcd Highway

IF Missouri has been the last state
to build her sector of national high
way from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
she can be the first to institute the re-
finement OF shade trees along the high
way, an improvement that, despite its
youth, is winning for Ontario and Que
bee, two of the Canadian provinces,
the acclaim of every automobile tour
list who visits them.
Why not begin in Missouri by, shad- !
ing the State highway from st. Louis
to Kansas City? 1t would make Mis-
souri, unique among the states trav-
ersed by this great national avenue.
We have profusion of trees adapt-
able to such use. Some of the old
pike roads in the state we're made
beautiful in this way with elns, oaks,
sycamores, cottonwoOds, blackberries.
box elders. wild cherry, persimmon.
sassafras. walnut. hickory, butternut
and sugar naples No one who has
ever mOtOred on these old highways
In summer and known the grateful
shade of their trees will ever forget
them. s
Indeed. it is this way that every
highway in Missouri can be made
lovely and in practical sense ipacul-
lar to the state. The heat OF the sun
Is IN abomination to every motorist
who has tire to change and how the
shade of the roadside tree is every
where sought for a MONDAY luncheon!
Why not capitalize that well-known
fact and make Missouri highways ia
nous for shade?-St. Louis Post-Dls-

SANTA CLAUS

Who says there isn't any
Santa Claus? If any such there
be, let him read this.
Saint Nicholas was an actual
person. He was bishop of Myra,
in Lycia, Asia Minor, in the first
part of the fourth century of
the Christian era. His father
was wealthy merchant, and
Nicholas was known as a dispen-
ser of the good things of life.
Thus he came into universal
popularity as the generous CIV
err.
The American term, Santa
Claus, probably originated, says
one authority, through the SUR
ring of the generous old fellows
earlier name. Saint Nicholas.
This authority thinks American
children are the only ones in
the world who call him Santa
Claus.

THE ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS

The celebration of December
rs in memory of the birth of
Christ dates from the fifth CEN
fury, before which time it was
observed conformity with the
feast of the Epiphany on jan
uary 6.
Inasmuch as the exact date of
Christ's birth, or even the year,
is unknown, the annual observ-
ance is in commemoration of the
event rather than as the anniv-
ersary of it's actual occurrence.
The Christmas tree, now an
almost universal symbol, is de-
rived from the Egyptian use of
4 palm branch of twelve shoots
to signify the completed year, a
custom which prevailed long be-
fore the Christian era. It's pre-
sent significance is by some
thought to have originated in

The use of evergreen decorat-

been observed since the time of
the Druids. In the Middle Ages
the festivities incident to Chr S
tmas were marked by wildly

from church authorities, who
deplored the tendency to stress
the festive rather than the SER
