CITIZENS TRAINING CAMP
(El Paso. Heraldl


It is a pleasure to chronicle the fact
that the citizens military training
camp idea has won its way in the
southwest.
For this year, at least, the training
camps are assured of full quotas.
The camp at Fort Logan, Colorado,
opened Wednesday. Officers were dis
concerted to find they had enrolled
more students than their quota all
lowed. The excess of men may be
sent to Fort Bliss, provided the Fort
Bliss quota is found not to have been
filled.
Fort Huachuca's camp (or it may be
held at nearby Camp Stephen d. Lit
tie, Nogales, Arizona) is almost as
sured a full quota, and there is full
quota for Fort Sam Houston, San An,
tonic, Texas.
In previous years it has been most
difficult to fill the various quotas.
Indeed, some camps have never had a
full quota before this year.
1t would be gratifying to believe
the citizens military training camps
have passed the peak Of the hill and
that hereafter no hard campaigning
to fill the quotas will be necessary.
The benefits of 80 days military
training and vaaction combined, with
free board, clothes, and medical at

KERRY SAYS THERE WILL
BE NO LICENSES
lKingman Minerl

Secretary of State James HI. Kerby
has notified the assessors of the vari-
Gus counties of Arizona that he will be
unable hereafter to furnish license
plates, because the late legislature
failed to provide the money necessary
to pay for additional plates. From
what we can CLEAN Of the affairs Of
Mr.. Kerby's office we are of the
opinion that it is within his authority
to purchase any license plates that
may be necessary, and we understand
that the legislature made an appro-
priation of $4,000 or more for this
and other purposes. If it is the in
tention of the secretary to put the
state in bad he may find that it is
jim Kerby who is getting under wa
ter. Why the secretary takes the po-
sition he does on the license plate mat
ter is not plain, but it would seem
that the base of the position is be-
cause the legislature attempted to
take from him salary that was voted
him by the legislature of two years
ago. Anyway, we believe that action
may he taken to compel the secretary
to furnish all the necessary plates to
the car owners who may demand
same.

Ralph Davis the other day asked a
woman if she washed herself.
"Sir!" she exclaimed.
81 mean, do you wash your

"Do look dirty" she snapped.

Open the doors of the hangar
And bring me out my plane,
I'm going to try long trip
Through sunshine, sleet and rain.
I'll try to cover the ocean,
From u. S. clear to France,
For with the Spirit of st. Louis
/ have my only chance.
Up in the cockpit he scrambled
All set for nice little twirl,
Lots of gas and oil, | know
So give the motor whirl.
Off down the field he glided
With never twist of the tail,
He's off, he's off, they shouted,
He's off on the Paris trail
Out over the ocean he flew
With the seagulls on wings of flight.
With himself as the only crew
Through the robes of day and night.
Thirty-three and half hours
That he kept going,
From sunset in the evening
Till the roosters started growing.
Ten thousand in the air
To ten feet from the waters,
Watching the bull whales fight
For their pretty daughters.
One boat was all he saw from
The time he left the coast,
And as for entertainment there
Was nothing there to boast.
Now over there in Paris where
The Spirit was to land,
Every voice was sure humming
Like first class leaders band.
All the lights there were a-glowing
While the people waited STILL
AS the Spirit of st. Louis came
A-flying DER the hill.
Then he circled Ger the field,
With the skildest pilot hand,
While the people never listen
To the guardsman's strict command
He was headed for the crowd
Though they did not seem to care,
But he caught the other lever,
Shot her square up III the air.
On the other side he landed
While the people cheered him light
He had flown across the ocean
And he finished up his flight.
He met most Of the big boys
And the little fellows too,
For alone he flew the ocean
And they all knew it was true.
So he rode around through Paris
And saw all that he could see,
Then he visited the parents
Of the two boys lost at sea.
AS he visited many places while
The sky was clear and blue,
From the house tops over Paris
Flew the true Red, White and Blue
After he had seen through Paris
And he chose no more to roam,
There he stepped upon the Memphis
And he sailed straight back for
home.
He was honored by the seaplanes
And the battling men Of war,
But he chose to see his mother
Before the capitol door.
Now he's back home in America
And the people are glad to see,
In the face of a lonely pilot
Who had flown across the sea.
On his chest he wears medal,
The distinguished flying cross.
OF his plane and all the ocean
Lindbergh was made the boss.
Though his home is so happy
For their boy who had no fears,
And for days they kept on
Stacking up their many many
cheers.
SO it's open up the hangar,
Put away his only plane,
He has flown across the Ocean
Through that sunshine, sleet and
rain.

PARK BOARD IS
LIKELY TARGET
OF DUvALL Fire
Muttering and GrumbIing
at City Hall Indicates
Shake-up Looms.

The park board which on several
occasions refused to fall IN line
with Duvall administration policies
may be the target of a shake-up in
the next few days.
Report that Mayor DuvaH Will
make a change was strengthened
by disagreement of members at the
Thursday meeting. No indications
are made as to what members will
be removed.
John e. Minor, president, Adolph
q. Eml1ardt and M. E. Foley, denied
thew had been asked to resign. They
have no thought of quitting they
said. The fourth member, Mrs. d.
D. Hoss, could not be reached.
Many Men Fired
Action of R. Walter Jarvis, super
intendent of parks, in removing d
number of workmen from the pay
roll caused the Thursday dissenslon.
Construction in several city parks
las been stopped by the cut. .
En,hardt and Mrs. Ross criticised
tha suuerintendent's action. 1t was
suggested that more watchmen De
taken from the pay roll instead OF
laborers.
"About a dozen men we're f1red
this week. There is an average Oh
ten or twelve each week, and at one
time about forty lost their Jobs"
Enhardt said. Jarvis cut the force
because of lack of budget approprl-
alton.
Dissension occurred a week ago,
when M. E. Foley insisted that con-
tract for resurfacing Meridian ST.
between Fall Creek and Thirty
Eighth st. be awarded to the low
bidder. Previous to that the mayor
is understood to have requested tnaG
Meridian st. be turned over to the
board of works and abandoned as a
