The first chilly days of Autumn in
troduce again that strange and an
nual phenomena, observed nowhere
so well as in a great modern city. the
reluctance on the part of the av-
erage home owner to start the FUR
mace.
Many pretty excuses are trotted
out, of course. to explain what Is un =
doubtedly nothing but a piece of
sheer laziness at bottom. One man
will cite the high cost Of coal. an
other will solemnly declare that cool
weather is good for one"
Still another may say that his
heating system needs overhauling,
which will necessitate a delay in
starting the home fires burning, al
though he admits that the house Is
too cool.
All the time every one is sitting
around half frozen, too numb to pro-
test the outrage to eifete modern
tissues, nerves and what not. There
can be little doubt that our ancestors
were harder. Our coolest houses in
the Fail would have seemed warm to
them.
Unfortunately. for us, we never
rode in q covered wagon or cut
a hole through the ice in the mill
pond to make our morning ablu-
tions. nor did we ever get our toes
frostbitten walking IS miles to
school, as many of the old coolers
swear they did.
There is a precise point. in the
scale of the thermometer, where we
get too cool for comfort. Equally, at
the upper rung of the scale, there
is a certain point where we get too
hot Truly, modern beings are
touchy!
When the thermometer reaches the
mark of 20 degrees, we begin to shlV-
err. 1t is asserted that this is the theo-
retical healthy temperature for in
doors, but out personal opinion is that
this is a bit of buncomc, disseminated
by persons who were too cinchy to
spend money for coal. Some people are
like that. They take great pride in
declaring, "Oh. 1 only used three tons
Of coal last Winter" when every one
else in the neighborhood used five or
six. Well, every one to his taste. If
they were comfortable on three tons
of coal, with the house at 68 degrees,
they are to be congratulated.
We are not! Distinctly and decid-
edly, we are uncomfortable when the
color In the tube points u11IIlcICILuily
and Enthusiastically to 70 degrees. We
can tough it out" as the saying is,
at that temperature. but when the
unrelenting red alcohol or silver mer-
curry, as the case may be, descends
to 68 degrees, we are ready to yelp
for mercy.
1t is true that in our school days
we were told that 6S degrees was
high enough for any child, good or
bad, but we are a child no longer,
alas, and our ageing tissues demand
more warmth.
In fact, we do not have to read the
thermometer to find out it is 68 de-
grees. We know it already! The
moment we feel that it Is necessary
to go to bed to keep warm, then we
realize that the dread point Of Au-
tumn has come, when it is colder in
the house than it is outdoors.
We carefully harbor a complete
equipment of thermometers with
which to torture ourself, including
one in the living room and one on
the back porch.
BY glancing at the latter through
the window we see that the outdoors
Is at a balmy state of 70 or II de-
grees, whereas the living room regis
ters a freezing temperature of 6S.

therefore, to believe that another base
ball scandal is brewing as the result
of Ruth's two homers yesterday.
Batters and pitchers by the very
nature of things are enemies. Many
times pitchers have reached the ninth

nothing particular at stake, step up

A Counsel's Responsibility.

The other day a man was summoned
bv the authorities of Hammonton.
N. j., in murder case. He was
wanted as material witness and also
as a possible, accessory to crime
under investigation. The warrant for
his arrest could not be executed, be-
cause he had suddenly disappeared.
His attorney announced that he had
sent his client out of the jurisdiction
in order to avoid arrest. When the
man was wanted by the right court,
declared the counsel, he would be pro-
duced. Meanwhile he would remain
secreted. Now the attorney has been
indicted on a charge of spiriting away
Il material witness, and also of con-
niving at the elopement of one wanted
for crime. The statutes of the State
make such an act q misdemeanor,
punishable by penalty of three years
in Jail or a fine of 81 900.
1t is reported that legal opinion in
the country Is divided on the subject
of this attorneys action, some col
leagues of the bar supporting his in
terpretation of his duty to a client,
while others condemn it. 1t will re-
main for the court to determine
whether counsel Is justified in doing
to prevent the execution OF
warrants. An attorney is an officer
of the court, sworn to support 1t IN
it's proceedings and to aid in the exc
cution Of the law. There is no ques-
ton that member Of the bar who
connivcs at or aids in the escape OF a
person accused of crime is liable to
for contempt of court If
not as an accessory. In this case the
counsel undertook to determine for
himself the right of his client in the
face of a warrant of arrest, ques-
ton that it would seem lies with the
court rather than with the attorney.
Should injustice be done by wrongful
arrest or detention remedy lies In
writ of habeas corpus, always avail
able to any person VINO concelVes that
he has been wrongly deprived Of his
liberty.
The outcome of this case will be
watched with some concern, for it af-
fects the relations of counsel and
court and, in fact, counsel and police
in all Jurisdictions. To the circum-
stances of the crime itself, which is
attracting general attention, this COM
plication adds a decided interest.

Revival Meetings at First
A. M. E. Church to
End Sunday

I Sunday will mark the close of the
revival meetings at the First A.
NJ. e. Church conducted by the
Rev. s. Douglass McDuffie, of New
York City. The services will close
lngs at the church, which has been
crowded at every service. With his
goal set for hundred converts and
reclamatlons, the evangelist will
probably exceed the number, as
eighty had responded to his appeals
at the end of the service Wednes-
day night.
The Rev. DR.. McDuffie is unique
In the conduct of his meetings. He
plays the piano, sings we'll and Is a
nifty dresser. He even believes In
wearing gay colors. "If sinners can
dress well and shine for the devil.
why shouldn't dress well and shine
for the Lord" says DR.. McDuffie,
who really wears his clothes with
grace and has plenty of them. Last
Sunday he made three changes in
suits during the, day. Help me,
somebody, help me- Is the favorite
expression of DR.. McDuffie during

evangelist says. And he reaches

meetings. Although DIR. McDuffie
cries for help, it is plain to be seen
he doesn't need any help. He is a
success as an evangelist. Although
many will disagree with his meth
DDS land he knows IT. DR.. McDuf-
file gets results. And that is what
he wants.
The program of services for Sun
day Is announced as follows: IL a.
m, sermon; $3.50 p. m, mass meet
ing for men and women; z D. m,
prayer meeting; 1880 p m, song
service; s p IN, farewell sermon.

SHOW IMPROVEMENT DURING MAY

much exceeding the corresponding
period in 1926. An unprecedented
amount of hotel construction is tax
ing place, with Tucson's new $780,
600 tourist hotel practically finished,
a $1,800,000 hotel started in Phoenix,
a 100000 mountain resort hotel under
way near Douglas, a 100000 hotel
being begun at Mesa, and Prescott's
fine new Hassayampa hotel going up
rapidly. Besides these, other tourist
hotels are planned at Tucson, No

have been finished recently at Flag
staff, Yuma and Nogales.
Banking transactions in principal
cities of. the state, as reported to the
Arizona Industrial Congress, exceeded
those for April and for May of last
year in a majority of eases.
Agriculture
Harvesting Of the largest grain
crop in the state in several years IS
well under way. Early wheat thresh-
ing has made good progress, and pro-
duction Of 1861 900 bushels is fore
cast. Quality is excellent having been
favored by the weather, and prices
being paid by mills have been adj
vanced to 1925 a hundred pounds.
Barley and oats harvest also is going
forward, with good yields reported.
Cantaloupe shipments have started
from the Yuma district, and move
ment from the Salt River Valley will
begin soon after June 20, although
delayed a little by cool nights. A
record movement is in prospect, with
1000 cars expected from the latter
section. The crop is in excellent con-
dition, with no reports of insect pests
or nlildew Indications that the large
Imperial Valley crop would continue
moving later than usual have made
the market outlook problematical,
though the improved quality of the
Imperial melons may prove of adj
vantage, as it should tend to keep de-
mand from being spoiled by poor
quality before the Arizona crop
reaches the market.
Cotton is in good condition, but its
growth has been held back by cool
weather. Acreage estimates are still
but market prospects
have been frightened somewhat by re-
ports Of extensive flood and storm
