AND WINS PROMOTION

with arrest by a traffic police
man for speeding, congratulated

recommended him for promotion

stopped the Presidential limou-
sine Of a highway near the Cap

exceeding the speed limit, and
said another offense would
mean arrest.

frightened, began to apologize.

praise his action. He said he
hadn't noticed his driver was

ARIZONA STRIP
ROAD IS PUNK

Mr.. John w. Newell, Of Edger-
ton, Wyoming, has very definite
ideas on the condition of the Ar
rowhead Highway through the
Arizona strip which he expresses
clearly in the letter published be-
low.
That Mr.. Newell is about right
in his conclusions is obvious
Both Nevada and Utah have been
using their good offices to bring
about the improvement OF the
Strip" road but so far with nc
results. Mr.. Newelrs letter fol-
lows
My dear Mr.. Squires:-
Il have before me your good
paper of the 18th inst. and note
with great interest the article en-
titled, Marked Map Proves Char
geS. ."
Having just come over the road
in question on my return from
Las Vegas, I feel that I know
first handed something about It.
and am free to say to you, that
the road from Mesquite to st.
George, as a whole. IS plenty bad
Part of this is not even a one
way road; a poor cow-traI' It's
it better. A larger part OF the way
across the corner of Arizona Is
fierce. Practically no evidence OF
maintenance.
L noticed some stakes at the
side of the road. Does this mean
that the Highway Department OF
Arizona is going to build a road
sometime in the dim, distant tu-
ture, or is it just another camou-
flage? 1t appears to the writer
more like the latter. And another
thing" the detours from the Art-
IONA and Utah line toward ST.
George are all the word implies.
Apparently no marked attention
is given them and in some places
it seems you are liable TO meet
Yourself coming back. They
should receive more attention al
the hands of the Highway Depart
ment on account of the time II
will take to get the main High
way ready for travel. Eventually
it is evident. this Highway VIII

Utah is losing as much as any
of the States by routing tourists

VEGAS FIELD
LISTED GOOD

In an article entitled Blazing
New Wing Trails" in the August
4 Liberty Magazine, on sale at
newstands today, Miss Florabel
Muir gives the story of the West
ern Air Express. The entire ar
ticle is of interest to local readers
and especially so is the list OF
landing fields compiled by Miss
Muir with the assistance Of Nor
man w. Potter, pilot who has
flown to and from all OF them,
Potter was an air mail pilot for
years and is now employed by the
Western Air Express on the Los
Angeles-San Francisco run"
The condition of each OF the
fields is noted and it is gratifying
to see that the field at Las Vegas
is listed as Good.
OF the other Nevada fields listed
those at Reno and Elko were de-
Scribed as Fair.
The fields at many of the large
cities such as Albany N. Y. COL
umbus. Ohio, Louisville, KY, Pitts
burg; Providence R. l.. and
Wheeling w. Va, are listed as
Poor.
Although most of the local air
fans are of the opinion that our
field could, and should be i'm
proved still further, it is gratifying
to learn that when taken with the
fields of the nation it ranks among
the highest.
Perhaps the best spoken OF OF
any of the fields are those at Los
Angeles, Three excellent private
fields: no municipal fields" is the
description.

Here's all 'ot--toss or buyi Up
and win 'en," was q familiar cry
on the streets OF London several
hundred years ago, according to
ii writer of old English life. Pies
were sold on the street as a rule
rather than In the shops at that
period, and the favorite way of
buying them was by Tipping a
coin to determine whether the pur-
chaser got his pie for nothing or
paid his penny for no pie.
The pies Of those days, how
ever, were meat pies, which prob
ably differed in no material way
from the meat pie of today. When
the coIonists came to America,
they of course brought with them
the art of making the meat pie.
Meat, however. in the early days
of this country was not plentiful,
while berries and fruit were, and
so the ever-resourceful colonial
housewife improvised from the old
meat pies what Is now that typ
ical American dish. the double
crusted fruit or berry pie.
Pies have become a popular In
stitution in American life. Prob
ably no other single article ef
food, unless 1t be the sandwich.
is consumed in such quantities.
Many restaurant has built it's
reputation by serving good pies,
and how happy is the housewife
who has acquired local fame as
good pie maker.

Getting off key is rather = sad
accident, but having a frock in an
off shade is quite the thing just
now. Violet blue. putty. beige,
grayish beige, reddish purple are
very much in demand for both
daytime and evening frocks.
The top notch Of the mode can
be reached by wearing a jeweled
bandeau which has returned to
favor once more. The newest
shape In a wreath of diamond
leaves, laurel, ivy or oak, the
wreath being worn low on the
brow. 1t is secured by piece OF
elastic at the back and supported
by a narrow hand of ribbon that
comes from the center of the
wreath and goes over the top OF
the head.
Since a camera never lies, we
are telling you the truth when
we report that purses now carry
cameras concealed within their
interiors. The purses are of tan
calfskin, following the envelope
style. The camera Is placed un-
derneath the back outside flap. A
strap handle makes the purse con-
Venient to carry.
Topping off the situation Of tulle
evening gowns, are velvet bodices
which set up effectively against
the flimsy skirts. The bodice is
fitted snugly, and reaches to the
normal waistline. The skirt, on
the other hand. Is bouffant and
composed entirely of wisps OF tulle
applied to a crepe underskirt.
Slashing their way into the
mode, arrow pins are the latest
fastenings for both high-neck
dresses and winter hats. These
pins take innGmerabls forms. such
as jeweled nails, screws pirate
knives-anything that cuts the
cloth. Only the two ends of
the pin are visible, the shaft
forming that part that pierces
the fabric.
