DAY OPENING
BIG CAMPAIGN FOR
CITY BEAUTTFICATION

That the overhead sign at Maine is
hazard and should be Immediately
repaired, was brought before the reg
ular meeting of Flagstaff ChamberSof
Commerce, Monday night, by Bert
Cameron, chairman of the traffic COM
mittee. According to Mr.. Cameron
several bad accidents have occurred
at this point and to avoid repetition,
the sign should be raised at least three
feet. The committee was instructed
to take the matter up with the board
of supervisors at their next regular
meeting in an effort to get the county
to raise this sign.
In the absence of the president, who
was in Phoenix, Ray Simpson, treas
urer, presided, calling on the various
committee chairman for their reports.
Chairman I. B. Koch of the industrial
and civic committee reported defin-
ite program is being outlined in the
interest of the "city beautiful cam
paign," which is to be repeated in
April with Arbor day as the opening
day. He said the city council and the
Chamber of Commerce will work to-
gether on this matter, striving partic-
ularly for city painting and planting.
The matter Of curbs and cutters for
Flagstaff had been referred to the in
dustrial and civic committee and Mr..
Koch said that this civic improvement
would be made a matter Of business
at the next meeting of the city coun-
Gil.
Miss Stewart reported for the Bet
ter Business bureau, and spoke par
ticularly Of the deluge Of peddlers and
agents that had descended upon the
city during the past 10 days. stating
that Of the 18 agents investigated,
eight were unauthorized and were re-
ported as unreliable by chambers Of
commerce in various parts of the
country.
In connection with this solicitation
problem, Miss Stewart suggested that
the city and Chamber of Commerce
cooperate and refuse to permit solici-
tation in Flagstaff unless the agent
made a deposit with the Chamber Of
Commerce covering the cost Of wire
and an answer from his company
headquarters asking for recommends
tions as to the representative. This
recommendation was adopted. Special

Used Car Agency is
NeIU Business Here

In keeping with other progress
made in their businesses, the Pilking-
ton Motor company and the Flagstaff
Motor company have joined forces on
used car agency proposition and
have opened a place for the sole pUIr-
pose of disposing Of used automobiles
in the building formerly occupied by
the Flagstaff Motor company at AS
pen avenue and Agassiz street.
The purpose of this used car agency,
say the owners, is to give better SER
vive to both new car owners and those
who desire secondhand machines. In
many cases automobile sales agencies
find they have become overloaded
with used cars which have been traded
in on new automobiles. Unless the
sales agency can find a market for
such machines they are handicapped
in operations both from a financial
standpoint and from the angle that
they are unable to place as many new
machines as they would If they could
take old models in trade. It was with
this thought in mind that the two
companies established the used car
agency.
In order to advertise the new bust
ness a used car sale is being held for
two weeks, starting last Saturday.
Some fine used car bargains are be-
ing offered Of which local buyers are
taking advantage. AS an added in
ducement for people to visit the new
agency, two used cars are to be given
away free to the holders of lucky
tickets to be drawn at the end Of each
week Of the sale. The first drawing
will be tomorrow.
N. L. Ross, an employe of the Pill
kington Motor company, is in charge
of the agency.

Protecting Local People From
Foreign Petty PilfererS

During the past few days the Flag
staff Chamber of Commerce has re-
ceived calls from eighteen solicitors,
most of whom were representing peri
odicals, asking that letter of guaran-
tee of their fidelity and good faith be
issued by the Better Business Bureau
of the Flagstaff Chamber of Comm
cree.
In two instances there were nine
people representing the same COM
pany who arrived in Flagstaff two
days apart. In two cases when the
firm which the solicitor claimed to
represent was wired, it was found
that no such agent was authorized.
In another case the headquarters rec
ognized the representative but failed
to guarantee his possibility.
The question arises-what is to be
done? Shall we allow these ped
dlars, agents etc. to flood our state
and take large sums of money from
Arizona into other sections of the
country? IF we desire magazines,
ETC., can they not be purchased in
Arizona establishments rather than
from someone whom we know nothing
are unable to secure reliable and
exact information as to their response
bility?
Besides causing unnecessary and
continued annoyance, these solicitors
have nothing more to offer than has
our local dealer. In many cases,
they are purely fraudulent.
In the above connection, the Flag
staff Chamber of Commerce has a
solution to offer as follows:
First, that no solicitation be per-
mitted within a city or town in the
state without the agent first making
application thru the local commercial
body of that city and defraying the
cost of kilograms to and from his
company headquarters in order that
said commercial body may be advised
as to the agents and company's re-
sponsibility. And also that the city
or town council instruct their police
department to forbid solicitation on
the streets of the city unless the
agent or solicitor has a certified in
elorsement from the commercial body,
as to his and the company's respon-
sibility.
Also, that in cases where the agent
refuses to defray the expenses of the
above, that publication be given to
the fact in the local press.
1t is also suggested by the Flag
staff Chamber of Commerce that
following the visit of the solicitor or
agent that a letter be written to the
firm represented advising them of the
policy employed and giving the
reasons therefore.
1t is also suggested chat no en-
dorsement other than the telegram be
taken into consideration within the
city. In many cases the agents
carry official looking documents
about with them which have often
been found to be forgeries.

Charley's breathing had become a continuous rumble. The sound of 1t filled the small room. At first Teddy had kept close watch over him. Now she saw the gangster was rapidly sinking into unconsci- ousness.
 Occasionally the monotonous rasping Of his breathing was broken by sharp. choking gurgles. Teddy would hasten to him and lean close, believing he wanted to speak. But the gangster's eyes were glazed. No light of recogni- tion seemed to glow in them.
 "God-just one drink Of water"
 Don staggered up. Teddy sprang to assist him.
 Eve got to drink something" he said desperately. He lurched toward one of the barrels. But there was no way Of getting at it's contents save by drinking from he hunghole. And the fermenting overflow, as Costello had said, was like mud.
 Why does-Charley breathe like like that?"
 Teddy's voice was charged with terror as she asked the question.
 Don paused and considered Sounds like pneumonia" He slunped down again, weakly.
 Teddy had determined hours be- fore to keep her nerve at all costs. She must not lose it now, she told herself fearfully.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHDEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy-
 gcia, the Health Magazine

The majority of physicians today are convinced that infected tonsils have definite relationship to the occurrence of heart disease, rheuma- tism and St. Vitus' dance.
 This opinion Is based on evil dence accumulated particularly dur ing the past 20 years, which shows that bacteria from infected tonsils can get into the blood and be car rled by the blood to other parts of the body, where they Set up secon- dary infections. Indeed, the evi- dence indicates that the tonsls are more likely to be the primary place of infection leading to rheumatism than either the teeth or any other place in the body.
 Undoubtedly the removal Of in- fected tonsils will prevent a recur- renee of infection, although the removal of the tonsils is unlikely to cure any permanent changes that have already taken place as the result of well established rheu- matism.
 Some of the persons who attack all medical procedures claim that removal Of the tonsils may cause injury to the voice, or to the ears. or even be responsible for a great CT likelihood of infection. There is not the slightest reason to be- lieve that any such dangerous complications are likely to result.
 Hundreds of thousands of per sons have had their tonsils re- moved without damage of any kind to their general health dur ing the past twenty years. and the majority of evidence indicates that the general effect has been good. In most instances persons who have had their tonsils re- moved have suffered to less ex- tent with colds. with infections of the ears, or with infections of the sinuses.
 Sometimes children who have been unable to gain weight and who have been generally ailing
New Britain herald., 1927-03-14

have improved in their nutrition and in their strength following the removal of their ton.ils. 4 few physicians have even urged that the tonsils should be re- moved routinely from all persons.
 There does not seem to be any reason to urge such a routine method. If the person suffers constantly with sore throat, if the tonsils are greatly enlarged, if there seems to be reason for be- lieving that the tonsils are acting as foci of infection and setting up disturbances elsewhere in the body, these glands may be rs- moved without question
 A good physician invariably ex amines the throat and the state of the tonsis in considering the cause and treatment of any dis. ease
