INSURANCE ON
TITLES GROWING

"Most of the authorities on
matters relating to real estate titles
throughout the country believe the
time not far distant when title in
Surance will be universal" and j..
E. Morrison, director of sales pro-
motion of the title insurance de-
partment of the Union Title Com
pany.
1--WE know that eventually it will
become the only practical and per-
manent means Of effecting the
transfer Of real estate and the max
ing of real estate loans. In local
tiles where title insurance Is
centered now the public under
stands and appreciates its merits
and is rapidly taking advantage of
the protection which 1t affords.
IF the public were as familiar
with title insurance as the people
are in those centers of population
where the business now fourishes,
the growth extension and develop
ment of title insurance would be re-
nldrKaDl6.
Gust as soon as a person becomes
acquainted with the benefits, adj
vantages, and protection which a
title insurance policy affords he at
once becomes a convert.
1.-THE growth of this form of in
surance and its permanency, which
is now assured, is due to the merits
and efficiency of the system itself.
1t furnishes, as does no other
system, convenience, flexibility and
safety in the transfer of titles to
real estate. The business will grow
and expand as the public becomes
more familiar with the merits and
advantages Of this form of guaranty
insurance"

Trade at Home
Use Arizona Goods

The sixth annual "Trade at Home
| Use Arizona Products" week in Ariz-
ona will be held March 21-26, and
chambers of commerce in the state
and other civic organizations, with
cooperation of the Arizona industrial
Congress, are completing plans for
making this campaign the most suc-
cessful held so far As an added
feature the annual Buyers and Sell
ers Conference" will be held in Phoe-
nix the last two days of the week,
giving additional impetus to the "Buy
at Home" movement which already
has meant so much to Arizona's de-
velopment.
"Trade at Home Week" is cooper
ative movement Of civic organizations
in communities throughout the state
to show the general public the great
advantage of buying at home, thus
keeping Home money" at work for
home development and of demanding
products produced in Arizona. 1t
points out the fact that purchasing
done at home is far more satisfactory
than business done through mail order
houses in cities outside the confines
of the state, and that money that
leaves Arizona for such purposes is
sgone forever" reducing the amount
left here to aid in the great work of
state development now underway.
The week" this year will be even
more widely observed in Arizona than
ever before, and as results obtained in
all previous campaigns have been
most gratifying, it is estimated the
annual campaign has saved millions
of dollars for Arizona that otherwise
would have been sent to other states.
The Buyers and Sellers Confer
ence" to be held the end Of the week
is a gathering of purchasing agents,
distributors and producers of the
state, which meets annually during
"Trade at Home Week" to discuss
various problems arising during the
year, and to bring about closer cooper
alton the buyers and sellers doing
business in Arizona. The conference
is one of the most important forces
in the continued growth of the 1Buy

Boys Stdgger Under
Sacks of Gold Ore;

With rush across the desert in
search Of bonaza in prospects, resi-
dents of Tonopah, New, are keeping
within easy reach of their automobiles
these days in the hope that two boys
who said they had made the big strike,
would give away the secret of its
location.
Plans for the rush got under way
last Friday when the two boys stag
gered into Tonopah under the weight
of two sacks of gold ore which assay
ed $4,000 ton.
The boys, each 10 years old. and
each the son of mining man, refused
to tell where they had found the ore,
but Tonopah went almost into hys-
terics at the news. For the past
week nearly 100 autoists have stood
by their machines ready to dash away
il any one learns the secret.
Mining engineers said that if the
ore given the assayer was of the
free" variety, it came from Death
Valley, famous in the history of GOLD
in the west.
Reports around Tonapah says that
the boys found free gold, but the
youths are keeping their secret unit
their fathers return home from Los
Angeles.

In Auto Crash

A. ]. Welty, Nogales mining man,
was killed and six other persons, four
of whom were nurses were injured in
two automobile accidents in the vicin-

rying four men and which failed to
stop after the accident. Ed Wilson, Of
Patagonia, received minor injuries in
the accident in which Welty was
killed.
The four nurses and C. H. Watson,
Oracle, were injured when a car
driven by Watson struck loose sand
and crashed into the ditch on the side
of the Nogales road. The injured
nurses are: Mrs. Evalyn Hall, Tucson,
who is suffering from a broken LETT
arm, broken right arm, broken nose
and body injuries; Miss Emma Chris

initiative and his encouragement of
this work From his long series of
visual observations he arrived at i'm
portant conclusions on the seasonal
changes of the markings, and these
results have been strikinglyi confirmed
by the extensive collections of photo
graphs continued Systematically from
the first successful results in 1905 to
the present time. Lowell's general
conclusions on the Marian atmos-
phere have more recently been fully
confirmed. The evidence of water
vapor and oxygen in the atmosphere
of Mars obtained at Lowell observa-
tory in 1908 and 1914 was independ-
entity confirmed by other observers
and announced in 1925. lastly may
be mentioned the temperature of the
planet, q subject upon which there has
existed great diversity of opinion
due to the very difficult character of
the problem. Loweli's derived value
for the temperature of Mars was con-
sidered by many scientists as being
too high. Highly refined apparatus
perfected in the past few years has
given a definite answer to the ques-
tion, showing conclusively that the
Martian surface temperature is much
higher than was formerly supposed
possible by many astronomers.
One of Americas eminent astron-
omers and perhaps in all the world
the one best qualified to speak on the
subject in summarizing our present
knowledge of the planet Mars goes on
TO say after reviewing the latest re-
glllts. "Of fha main nniDts raiSnd bxy
such Investigators as the late DR..
Percival Lowell, the majority appear
now to be well on the way to settle
ment, in manner favorable to his
IDEAS"

Wind FiIibuster
DOlDn Phoenix Wdy


One man was injured, entire por-
tions of the valley left in darkness,
highway traffic disrupted and consid-
cradle property damage done when a
42-mile-an-hour wind swept through
Phoenix and the Salt River valley
shortly before 8 o'clock last Thurs
day night.
Reaching an extreme velocity of 80
miles an hour. the gale carried trees,
awnings and even portions of build
ings with it as it rushed on its mad
rampage across the tablelands of the
valley.
Numerous plate glass windows were
crashed by the force of the elements;
trees were broken as if they were
twigs, frequently falling across main
arteries of travel and seriously i'm
peding traffic; portions of roofs in
the Glendale district were buffeted by
the storm and telephone and light
wires were grounded as whirling deb
ris weighted them down in the face of
the wind.
The gale-like wind came as the eli
max to a day-long breeze that had
drifted from out of the south through
the valley gap. Along toward eve
ming it shifted to southeasterly and,
at its height, to an easterly.

Quoted in connection with the session
for undergraduates at the Northern
Arizona Teachers College in this city,
as has been suggested, Acting Presi-
dent Byron Cummings has announced.
Adequate library and housing faci-

library and laboratory facilities,
absolutely necessary for graduate
work, are available at the University
in Tucson, and for that reason the
graduate summer session will be
handled there.
The plan as suggested by school
officials here, was to have a joint
session with the University conduct
ing the courses in graduate study and
the Teachers college those in under
graduate work. The local institut-
ions each summer conducts their reg
ular sessions for undergraduates.

State Soldiers May
Strike for Fund

Like wildfire, the rumor ran
through the capitol last Friday that
the line officers of the national guard
had resigned in body, as protest
against the omission in the general
appropriation bill of any provision for
the Arizona guard.
The adjutant general had no con-
firmation, the committee on militia
and public defense had no confirma-
tion and the governor contradicted it
without qualification. But all of them
admitted that there is some founda-
tion for the report.
Chairman Murphy of the house APP
preparations committee quoted a high
officer of the National Guard Officers
association as having said to him:
you don't have to wreck the guard.
If that's what you want to do, we'll
do it. ourselves"
Adjutant General Harris said he
understood that a blanket letter of
resignation has been drafted, that the
officers are solidly united in their at
titude and that they have received, in
taking it, the approval of the National
Association of National Guard Off
GERS.
Governor Hunt, though denying that
he had been officially forewarned of
impending wholesale designations, or
that any delegation of officers had
waited on him Friday, as reported in
the capitol, said he had received in
timations of what is in the wind, and
made it plain that his attitude is sym
pathetic.

FLAGSTAFF H. S. QUINTET
HAD GOOD SEASON; NOW
READY FOR TOURNAMENT

Flagstaff high basketball team, al
though not walking away with any
championships, has enjoyed very
successful season, winning five and
losing three games in the regular
high school schedule. Prescott and
Clarkdale were the only teams to
register victories over the locals,
while games were won from Wins
low, Williams and Jerome. Since the
final game at Williams last week, the
squad has been putting in some hard
work in preparation for the tourn-
ament to be held today and tomorrow.
Captain "Babe" Cameron has been
the mainstay of the team on both of
fense and defense. In the seven
games he played he rolled, up total
of SO points to lead the team in score
ing. Sheehan, Brinton and Francis
form good passing combination and
have played consistant floor game
during the season, but have never
been able to connect with the basket
in any degree of regularity. Bob
Prochnow, was shifted from forward
to back-guard, has developed rapidly
in the new position and can hold his
own with any of them. He is also
a threat on the offense and can be de-
pended upon to slip up the floor and
connect with couple baskets in every
game.
Beard, Slipher, Weidner, Caffey,
Bross, Thomas and Meir have formed
a second team that shows promise Of
much development. All of these
boys had some experience in games
this year which will enable them to
fill the places of Sheehan, Brinton
and Francis, who graduate.
With two weeks rest the Green and
Brown ought to be going its best and
can be expected to offer plenty of
competition in the tournament.
Next week if the weather permits,
candidates for the track team will
start their regular workouts in prep
aration for meets scheduled for the
first part of May. In addition to the
conference meet in Flagstaff, two
dual meets will be held with Winslow'
and triangular affair between Flag
staff, Williams and Kingman.

on these and other questions of ma
tional and community welfare. While
he was primarily occupied with re-
searches in pure science, he keenly
felt the need and value Of populariz-
ing the results of scientific research,
an undertaking for which he was emf
nently qualified. He gave to the
world writings on the most recent ad-
vances in science in a form charac-
terized by clearness and literary
charm.
The great popular appeal of DR..
Lowells astronomical work suggests
that it will be of interest to many to
learn something about the recent re-
suits intimately bearing cn his own
researches and carried out since his
death in 1916. He was occupied with
many difficult problems in astronomy
but his most widely known investiga-
tions no doubt were those pertaining
to the planets. To this work he de-
voted nearly quarter of Q century,
from the time of the founding of
Lowell observatory at Flagstaff in
1894, until his death in 1916. This
period of planetary work was one of
marked progress in several directions,
due largely to his own contributions.
From the extensive data gathered and
analyzed he reached many important
conclusions on Martian planetary
conditions that have attracted great
deal of interest. But among scientists
there were a number determined in
their opposition to the new results
and views. It was characteristic of
the man that he did not allow discour-
agement to hamper or cut short these
important researches. With full con-
fidence and faith in the correctness
of his own work he continued actively
his researches until his death in 1916.
