Investigations in practical medi-
cine have revealed that some people
arc especially subject to fractures
Of the bones, their long bones parti-
cularly will crack like dry sticks
when submitted to any unusual strain.
II one case described by promi-
nent physician. Il 12-year-old girl had
had BIB fractures Of the bones before
reaching that age.
When study of the family his
tory was made, it was found that
the mother of the girl was deaf, that
the white portion of her eye was un-
usually blue, and that she had had
two fractures.
Back to Ancestors
The grandmother and the great
grandmother on Nthe mothers side
were also deaf and had the blue
sciera in the eye. Three brothers
and two sisters also had the blucness
OF the eye, and three Of the five had
bohe Is.
Investigation Of the cases de-
scribcd as we'll as Of many others
shows that this condition runs in
families and is transmitted by the
affected parents. Only those chill
drcn with the blueness of the eye
are subject to the brittle bones. The
blucncss results from a special trans
rarcncy Of this coat Of the eye that
permits blue structure behind to
shine through.
Cause Unknown
The deafness which generally de-
vclops as these people become older
IS due to a change in the ear Of which
the cause has not yet been discovered.
1t is important to know that "a
per cent of the persons with this
peculiar blueness of the white por-
ton of the eye suffer frequently with
multiple fractures. The broken
bones usually heal rapidly, but tend
to fracture easily after healing.

DEVELOPING OUR BIG COUNTY

Laying aside ones personal prejudices and per-
sonal feelings for the good of the cause is not an
easy thing to do especially when is fully con-
vinced of the rightfumess of his contention How
ever. countries are developed that way. In the
DEVELOPMENT of the United States there are vol
umes of history depicting the struggles and heart
aches of pioneers who laid the broad foundation
for Americas progress and prosperity. There
were compromises, detours and abrupt halts along
the road. 1t is still our method Of progress but
the wiser get the less hindrance there is to our
progress.
Coconino county, for instance, is the largest
county in the United States. 1t is not thickly
populated nor has it sufficient taxable property to
bring about its development rapidly as is de-
sired. We badly need the assistance of the United
States government and should have it, but con-
tentious attitude will not help us get it. The de-
velopment of Coconino county has been held back
for years by this element in the makeup Of our
population. Other counties of the state have used
better Judgment with greater profit.
The rapid development of the north rim of the
Grand Canyon and southern Utah by the Union
Pacific came about to great extent by the hearty
cooperation of the people of Utah. Arizona has
done very little toward the development of this
valuable north strip of the state yet it will be
greatly benefited thereby
No one man or set of men should be permitted
to convince the government that Coconino county S
attitude is antagonistc or to p4rpetrate i'll feeling
which really does not exist.

REMARKS OF THE GANG

neither do we, but so far as damage
to Arizona is concerned, we doubt very
much if there has been any. 1t re-
minds US, in fact, of Tom Gilman,
who aspired to be mayor of Detroit.
He had the support of a powerful
newspaper, and his instructions to the
editor of that paper were to "Get my
name on page one every day. / don't
care what you call me. Make me a
crook or a wife-beater if you want to.
But if you'll get my name in the paper
every day I'll be elected"
Tom wasn't elected, but he became
so formidable candidate due to being
on page one every day that his op-
ponents made charges against him
and had him arrested. Snake stories
out of Arizona may not be pleasant
particularly when they aren't true
And it doesn't sound progressive to
talk about plank roads in Arizona
when we haven't any. But if it gets
Arizona on page one, we refuse tc
weep about it.

YESTERDAY, ToDAY-AND TOMORROW

Flagstaff can i'll afford to be off the rapidly de-
yeloping transcontinental alrway. 1t is starting
how fast aviation is becoming an accepted means
of safe travel Last year it seemed chimerical or
at least something for future development. Today
it Is an established fact. 1t has developed so much
more rapidly than did the automobile that even
the advance guard of progressive thinkers were
taken by surprise.
Today at the airport at Grand Canyon passen-
gers are taken for trips the great gorge and
for sky-view tours as an every day business. Just
a very few years ago when Lieut. Pearson swung
out over the Grand Canyon in his plane, it was
called daredevil stunt.
So suddenly has aviation become mode of
QUICK and safe travel that it is hard to awaken to
the fact 1t is here now and it is up to Flagstaff
to put itself on the air map with suitable landing
port
Just few years ago contraption called
seReo automobile" attempted an idiotic trip from
Flagstaff to Grand Canyon Old timers citizens
and cowpunchers looked at it and made sarcastic
comments on the old tin can 1t busted down on
its way out Derision and Il told you SOS" fol-
lowed closely on the heels of this daring venture.
This country was not suited to that sort Of play
thing, that was double cinch." Today the aver
age cowpuncher knows carburetor as well or bet
ter than he knows his old cow-hoss.
1t is very possible that lot of us old timers
will never ride in one of these new air contrap-
tions, unless doped blindfolded and backed into it,
nevertheless our young folks male and female will
soon have one parked up over the garage to use
when they wish to make an all day trip of few
thousand miles. The old can in the garage below
will be kept for use when they wish to take short
spin of a few hundred miles before luncheon.

REAL SERVICE
Winslow Mail)

The local officials of the Santa Fe
railroad were called upon for real
task Tuesday and when Harry M.
Warner, Los Angeles movie producer,
wired for special train. There was
but a short time to make up the train
before Warner arrived, but it was
done and Warner got started in rec
ord breaking time.
Never before have the local officials
had the opportunity to show such
service to any passenger and the
chance was welcomed by the entire
staff.
Supt. E. E. McCarty, who is a very
busy man, stopped his work and saw
that each detail was attended to.
Every man on the staff is to be COM
plimented on the service that was
given.
The service given by those who live
in Winslow is remembered by those
to whom it is given. When good
service is given it is boost for Wins
low and for the Santa Fe.

WE WILL HAVE FUN
lPrescott Journal-Minerl

A treat is in store for those Arizo-
mans who can look upon the political
stage in the state and not let their
leanings interfere with their enjoy
ment of the spectacle.
Eight or a dozen citizens are COM
ing hack from Denver to tell US all
about the Colorado river conference
and each other. 1t is expected that
they will spend several months from
now on, telling. 1t ought to be good.
From news and private dispatches
from Colorado this paper has learned
that there was a vast show of sinking
Individual differences in that confer
ence. The Arizona commissions, one
selected by the governor to watch one
selected by the legislature and vice
versa, was we'll cast, and did its work
with all the skill and success that
could be expected of it, and succeeded
in presenting that handsome appear
ance called a united front to the foe.
But there is no California delegation
watching every move in this state.
The situation calls for some recrim-
nations and now is the time to have
them.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH MEXICO?

Naturally Mexico is one of the richest countries
in the world It has untold possibilities in climate
agriculture, oil, forests, mineral and coast lines
For years it has been like the poor little rich
girl 1t has everything in the world to lose and
nothing to gain by its idiotic revolutions. The
United States had one civil war and then decided
that brains would bring about better results than
guns. The idea has worked out regardless of the
sporadic fool ideas of bringing about the millen-
ium within few short hours. Real Americans
know today that the laws of God are the only ones
that are certain to produce results which bring
happiness and progress.
Every conceivable law the human mind can con-
trive to circumvent the Great Laws, are of no
avail There are no short cuts.
Neither preachers, politicians nor physicians
have changed the original laws handed down.
Rather does it appear that we have unsuccess-
fully and with childish glee endeavored to over
ride and disprove facts written in the rock-ribbed
depths of the earth million years before this
passing element Of plant life ever came into being.
Fattening on the ignorance Of ones fellow man
is fast passing out into the era of the dark ages,
when might was right.

MORE COWS FOR cowPUNCHERs

The romance of the range rider and the thun-
dering herd has not faded into the realm OF his
torical novels. It will be with US for long time
to come: it is in fact more in evidence today than
it has been for many years.
The live stock industry of the west has under
gone a great revival, the cattle ranges again are
stocked; the ranch houses are places of great ac-
tivity and spirits are high in the grazing country
The railroads, with and without the insistence of
the interstate commerce commission have reduced
rates for the movement of cattle. An increase in
rainfall has made vast areas into profitable graz
ing land Modern methods have superseded the
old haphazard systems. Wells windmils and
miles of pipe line now assure plentiful supplies OF
water.
The southwest has many hundreds Of thousands
Of square miles of land that is unfit for cultivation
but that does afford good grazing. The ranching
business seems to be definitely on the boom.

BETTER TO WORK THAN FIGHT
LEI Paso Heraldl

Apache Indians are to work this fall
as cotton pickers in the Gila valley
of Arizona. Many others have been
employed as laborers at the Coolidge
dam, now under construction.
1t took the Apaches long time to
get the idea, but for some years it has
been taking hold among them. The
idea is, it is better to work for it than
fight for it.
Second, it is better to work for it
than to sit around, stupidity bored,
and wait for the government to feed
you.
To bring about the transformation
of a tribe of warriors into one of
workers has been long and difficult
task
Apaches, the 1.-the raiders and
fighters Of the mountains, held in
contempt the agricultural Pimas and
Papagoes of the plains who raised
their ponies instead of stealing them
and farmed for food instead of killing
for it.
For more than two centuries this
contempt persisted. 1t was unreason-
able in that it was not mitigated by
the fact that the Apaches were, as
often as not, defeated in battle by the
Pima and Papago farmers in the
tribal wars which the Apaches occa-
sionally precipitated by their raids on
the plains Indians. To the Apache
mind, stodgy grower of wheat and
beans could not be real fighting man
even if he did win.
This delusion persisted into the
'90s. The schools, both government
and church schools, have done more
than anything or anyone else to
change the Apache psychology.
They have taught him it is honor
able and dignified to work for liv-
ing. He has been shown how to work
with his hands at carpentry, masonry,
tailoring, agriculture and even print
ing. He has been convinced that labor
is not emasculating in the sense that
it saps courage but that, on the con-
trary, labor leads to the accumulation
of property, and the possession Of
property is, next to the possession Of
a. family, the best incentive to valor.

PROPERTY LAID TO TARIFF

The tariff and immigration laws are important
factors in the prosperity of the United States de-
clares Sas H. Strawn, president OF the American
Bar association.
"High and fluctuating protective tariffs are
acting as growing trade barriers in Europe, says
Mr. Strawn. ''To the contrary the protective tar
iff is increasing prosperity in the United States
"The tariff laws in the United States are stable
and cannot generally be considered high in COM
parison with those now in effect in Europe
have seen nothing in Europe that would change
my opinion that the protective tariff makes US a
prosperous nation We are the most prosperous
nation in the world at the present time and this
prosperity shows that the protective tariff is
GOOD thing for this nation
The tariff is essential both to farmers and man
ufacturers Many industries such as our domestic
beet sugar one, could not exist without it, as it
equalizes the cost of production in foreign coun-
tries, where labor is much cheaper, with cost of
production in this country; thereby enabling our
industries to give employment at good wages to
thousands Of workers.

AS CALIFORNIA SEES HIRAM
JOHNSON
Tucson Starl

Tucson Starr
Senator Hiram Johnson, of Califor-
MIA, has been clustering about what
he would do could he but assure the
passage of the Boulder Canyon dam
bill. 1t is interesting to note that all
of his native state does not take him
as seriously as he takes himself. We
quote from the Los Angeles Times:
Senator johnson either has not
been reading the reports from the
Colorado river conference of the
seven basin states, or has failed to ap-
preciate their significance, or is un-
willing to admit it. Otherwise his
roars Of defiance to the so-called ST.
000,000,000 power trust would die
away to mere whispers or be omitted
altogether. Lack of interest one way
or the other in the Boulder dam
scheme characterizes at present prac-
tically all Of the business corporations
producing power, and as the senator
probably would admit privately, this
situation jeopardizes the success OF the
plan.
Representatives of the Los Angeles
bureau of power and light themselves
have told the conference at Denver
plainly that instead of lively bidding
for Colorado power there is likely to
be difficulty in selling it and that if
Arizona and Nevada insist on too
large payment out of the power
revenues, the financing plan for the
dam structure will fall through. The
advances made in steam-plant con-
struction in the past few years are
causing water-power owners serious
concern,g since they have pulled the
steam-driven generators up to prac-
tical cost equality with hydro plants
and threaten to surpass them.
"Yet the senator continues to roar.
If there is any such thing as a power
trust, except in Senator Johnson's
imagination, and it is as malicious as
the senator assumes, it probably would
be well pleased to have government
ownership discredited by another fail
ure, even though there are pelnty OF
demonstrations already.
Senator Johnson offers to give up
his public career if thereby he can
obtain success for the Boulder Can
yon plan. 1t probably would promote
Colorado river development were ne
to do so, or at least if he were to stop
! talking so foolishly."
