No More IEsfGntiLe
Paralysis This Week

There have been no new cases of
infantile paralysis this week and the
physicians are inclined to believe
there viii be no more.
As an extra precaution, however,
the city schools viii not open next
week, though Teachers college, at
which the regular winter term begins
Monday, will open as usual The de-
clsion not to open the city schools
next week was made after conference
between the city school board, Super
intendent John @. Thomas and the
physicians. DR.. Felix Manning, coun-
ty health officer, and the other ply
sicians advised that while there may
not be and probably will not be any
more cases, still as q precautionary
measure it will be better to keep the
schools closed a week longer.
The last two cases reported, both
Of children, are getting along very
nicely; in fact, one of the children
has entirely recovered. Among the
cases, there have been only four
deaths.
Little Tommy Brown, younger son
Of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Brown, was
very Ill Sunday, but by the use Of
serum the fever was broken and he
now is rapidly recovering.
In the other case, that of Gloria, the
little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. P.
NJ. Marsh, the illness was SO slight
that no doctor was called until three
weeks later, and then because the
child limped slightly. It was decided
by the physician that the child had
had infantile paralysis. Her parents
moved to Grand Canyon several days
ago, taking her with them. During
her illness her parents had ascribed
her fever to teething. Gloria is the
youngster who in August took first
prize at the Flagstaff exposition
baby show.

her; that Mrs. Hall was tenant at
will and could be removed from the
premises at any time
Mr.. Weatherford signed the re-
newal of the lease for another five
years, and Mrs. Hall entered upon
the second rental term beginning in
May, 1925.
Shortly thereafter the Weather
fords brought suit to recover posses
sion of the hotel, on the ground that,
it being community property, and the
lease not having been signed by Mrs.
Weatherford, the lease was valid only
at the pleasure Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Weatherford
Judge ]. E. Jones in superior court
here in October, 1925, sustained the
claims of the Weatherfords and over
ruled motion of Mrs. Halls attorney,
G. B. Wilson, for new trial. Where
upon in March, 1926, the appeal was
taken to the state supreme court,
Attorney Wilson claiming seven points
of error in connection with the trial
of the case here.
The supreme court in its decision
rules:
written instruments should be
construed so as if possible to give eff
feet to every clause thereof, rather
than to hold any of them void. As
was well stated, options to renew
granted to the lessee are obviously for
his benefit, and it is presumed are
part of the consideration which in
duced him to execute the lease. If
we are to hold such clauses as being
absolutely void, we are taking from
the lessee without remuneration some
thing for which he has paid We
should not so construe contracts il it
is possible to avoid it, We hold that
a renewal clause leaving the rent to
be fixed by agreement implies rea-
sonable figure, and is enforceable, and
therefore valid. Such being the case
when Plaintiff John w. Weatherford,
in accordance with the provisions of
the lease of 1919, which lease, as we
have shown, Margaret j. Weather
ford is estopped from questioning,
came to an agreement with defendant
1924, such latter lease was a valid
one, and defendant is entitled to the
possession of the premises in ques-
G10ns dCCOTulIS W lLS IcIulS.
''This being true, it is not necessary
for us to determine the other as
signments of error. The judgment of
the superior court Of Coconino county
is reversed, with instructions to rem
der judgment in favor of the defend
ant in accordance with the views ex-
pressed herein"

NOVELTIES IN FALL COATS

BY HARRIET
BEAUTIFUL, IF NOT

FALL coats this season seem tc
\ be staging contest to see just
how lavish they can be in the use
of new furs and fabrics, novelty
touches, odd-shaped sleeves and
unusual necklines.
The straight-line silhouette is
still more or less adhered to,
though by double front closings,
by draped and circular effects,
coats follow the lead of dresses in
obtaining more room for the fig
ure to move about in.
The circular fastening is the
outstanding style point for fall.
Fully two-thirds of the coats have
it. Shawl collars, stoles and
throws outnumber the tailored
ones and one-sided effects in col
lars are quite recognized as So
cially all right.
Cape Sleeves
Sleeves are even more individ-
ual than collars. The cape sleeve,
so universally becoming on fig
achieving a popularity that is en-
viable. Sometimes regular sleeves
are topped by pointed or other
decorative capes that are of no
use save as decoration. But the
idea that things must be useful to
be beautiful is entirely exploded
by these cunning little ''gadgets !"
Coats that form the outer gar
ment for an ensemble are adopt
ing the fashion of having the in
side facing of their openings copy
the color note or the decoration
note of the costume underneath.
Broadcloth advances as quite
the smart material for semi
formal wear this season An
afternoon coat of black broadcloth
shown here needs no alibis for
chic. It has a stunning cut, its
back suggesting nipped-in waist
line and the front swerving grace
fully in double curve, from right |
shoulder to left hip and from the |
left hip back again to the right |
side as it reaches the hemline
Collar of Fox
The sleeves are tight to the ell
bow and slightly fiared at wrist.
Perhaps the collar is its smartest
touch. Silver fox makes an ire
sistibly lovely stole effect, with /
the light-tipped tail hanging al
most to the hem. This fur out
lines the collar and the front
opening and then hangs from the
hip, suspended.
Lined with silver brocaded I

derstand the needs and advantages
of capital more clearly today. 1t is
estimated that there are fifteen
million shareholders, principally in
the telephone and other large pub
lie service corporations. On the
other hand, the decisions of the Su-
preme Court last week brought to a
successful conclusion the Teapot
Dome scandal and inquiry. Having
tasted blood the official group spec
ializing in these investigations are
out for bigger and better game, ev-
en- at the expense of the taxpayer.
The recent shake-up in the Ship
ping Board will undoubtedly pro-
woke bitter comment in Congress
next winter. This Federal agency
has been a source of controversy for
more than ten years, particularly
since the Armistice. 1t is note-wor-
thy that Congress has paid little
heed to the recommendations of
Presidents Harding and Coolidge in
regard to the Merchant Marine prob
lem. Certain groups advocate the
return of vessels now operated by
the government to private owner
ship, while others propose subsid-
les, in order that the government
ships may compete with foreigners.
Inland towns, of course, have little
interest in the general problem, but
the communities located on the sea-
board and main waterways are al
ways concerned over the future of
the Merchant Marine.
