more so. You cannot really give them
too much. The breeze, the open air,
the fresh air, and the cold air, all are
our friends. Shut windows, closed or
overheated rooms with lots of people
in them, those are our enemies. Don't
you remember how many beds with

"Yes, oxygen, of course. Oxygen is
the thing that keeps things alive by

to dip the blood into the oxygen In the

PASSES ARE FAMOUS

The passes In the Alps mountains
have long been famous because they
were the gates to traffic between Italy
and north Europe. The st. Bernard
passes are under the friendly protec-
ton Of the monks, but railroads have
now been built to pass the great bar
rier by the tunnels Of Mont Gents In
the west, st. Gothard in the center
and the Simplon farther east. On the
south slope the Alps fall abruptly to
the low plains Of Lombardy.

Many fruit juices are well suited to
vinegar making as they contain sugar
in the proper proportion and other
necessary or desirable substances, says
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. Vinegar Is the result Of two
distinct fermentation processes-an
alcoholic fermentation followed by an
acetic fermentation.
Apples are most commonly used In
the United States, but vinegar Of I'M
excelled quality can be made from
grapes, and very acceptable vinegar
Is made from oranges, peaches, per-
simmons, pears, berries and watermel-
ons. Vinegar made from red raspber-
ries will retain indefinitely the odor
and flavor Of the fruit, which makes
1t desirable for flavoring foods and
beverages.
Much Fruit Wasted.
Fruit enough to make all the years
supply Of vinegar Is wasted In many
homes. Surplus or INFERIOR grades
of fruit not desired for immediate use
for canning may often be turned into
useful product at merely nominal
cost. The best receptacles for max
ing vinegar In the home are stone Jars
Of three to six-gallon capacity. These
should have straight sides and open
tops and should be provided with cov-
ers. With most fruits used it Is i'm.
possible to separate the juice from
the pulp before the alcoholic fermen.
tation has taken place, so yeast In
oculation Is made In mash Of the
fruit. The Juice only may be used II
1t can be extracted easily. The fol.
lowing method, which calls for
peaches, may be used, with slight
variations, for any fruits:
Ripe fruit is selected. Overripe
fruit may be used If decayed portions
are removed. Enough peaches are
used to fill 4-gallcn jar about two
thirds full after they have been cut
In two and crushed with potato

IRON IN BRICK

The difference In the color of bricks
is que mainly to the varieties of clay
used In their making. The clay con-
tains iron, and the color Of the brick
depends almost entirely upon the pro-
portion Of iron present. Clays con-
tanning less than l or IN per cent Of
iron change In the kiln to various
shades of cream color and buff, while
those containing more than per cent
Of iron have range I'm color extend

The Coconno Sun belongs to Flagstaff, Coco

job is merely plotting The Sun in the best inter-
ests of all concerned, not the few who kick up the
most noise and dust, but the big majority who
have the best interests of this big country at
heart Making the news is not our job. The
people do that themselves and it is up to us to
segregate hurtful scandal from helpful news. 1t
is up to us to fight the battles where principles
and honesty are involved not those Of hate and
spite which usually array faction against fac
tion. One may be wrong in the diagnosis of
case in point, but should be given verdict the
courage of his honest convictions. Being for or
against some special thing, is not always an hon
est conviction. Many times it is but the subter-
fuge of stubborn mind, determined to win the
point regardless of results. Small men with small
minds can not take defeat. They are willing be-
cause of ego to win petty personal battle, tenn
porariy at the expense of all concerned, and lose
the big battle that would have brought undying
fame, had egotism given way to bigger, better and
broader ideas of the common welfare of the whole

HUNT FAILS TO SURPRISE
douglas Dispatchl

Governor Hunts announcement that
he would be candidate to succeed
himself in 1923, while it might have
surprised some people, was expected
by the intimate.
The swan song of the governor de-
livered at the opening of the eighth
legislature generally was accepted by
the legislators as being dependent
upon giving the governor what he
wanted in legislation.
His announcement that he would
run again made just prior to the re-
convening of the legislature, is Hunts
warning that he will take the differ
ences existing between him and the
legislature to the people in 1928.
In the thirty days that the legis-
lators have been at home they should
have been able to ascertain what their
constituents want in relation to the
highway bill at least.
Coincident with the governors an
nouncement of his candidacy came
the threat of the state highway en-
gineer that the Apache trail highway
would be closed after June ! if pro-
vision is not made to finance building
detour around the Horse Mesa
reservoir.

JUSTLY SUSPICIOUS
(Bisbee Review

Bisbee bachelors may be interested
to know that a recent survey made at
the close of the income tax collection
period shows there are 153 women in
Chicago who are worth a million or
more, and Of this number 110 are
eligible for marriage. This group
includes many of the most wealthy
and not few Of the best looking, Is
of them being bachelor girls under
30 years of age. But to spoil it all the
Associated Press dispatch story Of the
discovery of this great array of
feminine wealth quotes General Abel
Davis, vice-president of Chicago's
largest bank, as saying that the
chances of a woman with million
dollars marrying are four to one
against the possibility. He gave as
his reasons for believing this the
fact that the women with so much
money thinks every man is courting
her money rather than her charm and
refuses to consider any Of them. And
no doubt she usually is right.

THE SUCKLING STATE?

Poor Arizona 1t is facing two ways and is
in sad financial dilemma. Our taxes are high,
getting higher also over due. Our highway de-
partment claims it is solvent with about 81 500 900
coming in. In the next breath it demands an APP
preparation of $650000 which it claims is due its
creditors and long past due.
It wants bond issue of ten million dollars to
keep up road work and match federal aid, claim
ing all federal aid money will be lost and it will be
necessary to close down the works if it is not
forthcoming
The whole situation, so far as the taxpayer is
concerned, is a most magnificent financial muddle
in which he is the innocent bystander.
The famous Smith Gore audit of the highway
department did not seem to clear things up and
show where the department was at-at least if
it did the report was never made public.
The taxpayers paid $31, 900 of the $4,000
promised the Smith Gore company. Two years
ago Governor Hunt insisted on paying the $4,000
balance due the firm. This year he vetoed the
BILL Why? Was it because former State Engi-
neer Maddox has flopped over to the Hunt re-
giTne?
than it was under Maddox when he ran his high
way over Governor Campbell?
The taxpayers have run into blind alley so far
as real Information is concerned. They paid heav-
lily to have the highway situation clarified but
seem only to have paid for bigger and better
muddle.
The partial investigation of the highway de-
partment made by the legislature showed that it
cost about 100000 more for work on the Flag
staff-Winslow road under force account than
contractors agreed to do the work for
The taxpayers want good roads and are willing
to pay for them, but are demanding that the state
highway situation must be cleaned up, sifted to
the bottom and clean statement be given them
even if every taxpayer has to go to jail for
meddling in affairs of state.
Better that few friends suffer than the whole
people of the state.
IN demanding a little better than fifty-fifty
cut of road funds as to roads politics, we are
convinced the taxpayer has quite some argument
on his side

obstacle that blocks his path, con-
siders the newspaper friend only
when he is fulfilling war contract,
judging from statistics made public
by the 1927 directory of the News
paper Annual, published by N. w.
Aver & Son. Since the World War
more than 1000 newspapers, most of
them weekly publications, went out of
business, indicating that the God of
War had no use for them after they
had done their bit in spreading propa-
ganda to stir the patriotism of AM
erica to such pitch that the people
gladly went without meat and sugar
that the doughboy might carry on the
work of Mars. They were encouraged
to continue their existence when they
carried such headlines and sentiments
as "Freedom Of the Seas" and "Peace
at Any Price, but when Mars work
was done and the war-weary world
decided it had enough of him, the
newspapers began to expire by the
hundreds until 1925, when a few
gains were made in the communities
suddenly made prosperous by dis
covery of oil or gold.
This condition is the very reverse
of what should be. Second only to
the schools, the press is the greatest
enemy Of war and the truest friend
of peace 1t was only artificial pros
perity Of war carried on thousands of
miles from home that made the in
creased number Of publications
possible in 1927. They had their
duties to perform during this trying
period, and no one can say they did
not respond Loyalty; but it is during
peace times that they can ado the
greatest amount of good, and instead
Of decreasing in numbers it would
have been better for the peace move
ment if an increase had been made.
Between the schools, the press and the
pulpit sentiment against Mars can
be created to such degree that not
even the powerful dictator Of Italy
could start war.

THE MILK ORDINANCE
Tucson Starr

1t sometimes happens that the best
way to earn money is to spend it. The
city council, in passing the new. milk
ordinance, the most stringent now in
the United States, has placed new
burden upon the shoulders Of the local
dairymen, financial burden that is
of no mean proportions.
At first blush, it would seem as if
such burden were unfair, but it may
actually prove an asset IN the long
run. No city in the United States has
more need for pure milk supply.
With our thousands Of health seekers,
we must be able to assure them of this
one thing if we can offer nothing else.
And if they want proof of our prom
ises, it lies in the ordinance which we
can truthfully tell them is the most
rigid in America. That will help to
bring more people to Tucson and that
will sell more milk.
This may be cold comfort for the
dairymen who must invest more
money in the business right now, but
it is nevertheless true Adoption Of
the ordinance is one of the most pro-
gressive acts of the city council in
several years.

BETTER SALARIES FOR CRIMINALS

Eytinge, who attained notorety twenty years
ago by being convicted of killing an aged barber
near Phoenix, given a life sentence, then paroled
several years ago. was arrested recently at Kan
sas City charged with forgery. Eytinge says
that it was merely a mistake made by him and his
wife drawing on the same bank account. When a
man and his wife both check on the same bank
account it shows how friendly their relations are
and banks should be prohibited from interfering
merely because their figures do not agree. Any
way there should be a law passed compelling banks
to pay all checks drawn on them. No one knows
when some friend may deposit money in it to his or
her credit. It would also be much cheaper for the
state to swear prisoners in, turn them loose and
send them check monthly for the board and
clothing due them.
