growth and strength of the club was
emphasized.
President Crouch of the club, Sec

individual action toward hurrying
along the work of the city aviation

Perrin and spoke briefly telling that
for the past Is years he has been
working on what he considers !, a
great invention and one which should
be capable of making a great city
of Douglas. The speaker related that
this invention had been his hobby
for Is years and that in addition
to working at the smelters Tor all
of this time he has devoted his
spare time at home at work on the
invention.
He said that he had finally COM
pleted crude model of the invention
and that it was set up and in
operation at his home and he invited
the KiWanians to come to his home
and see for themselves what he had
made and decide in their own minds
if it were worth anything. He offered
the club pictures and drawings of
the work together with plans that
he has sent to the patent office
where they ! have been registered.
Schlotzhouer did not tell the club
anything of the nature Of his in
vention more than to say that it

INJURED WOMEN
SOON TO LEAVE
HERE

While they were not yet sufficiently
recovered from their shock resulting
from the automobile accident some 80
miles east of Douglas, the two Ladies
injured in the accident continued yes
terday as patients at the Calumet hos
pital to which they were brought i'm
mediately after the car in which they
we're riding was wrecked. Mrs. Lillian
Bergerson of Fresno, Calf, and Mrs.
Edwin Cramer of San Antonio, Texas,
were the ladies in the car. Travelling
in another car, but as a member of
the party, was A. w. Campbell, also
cf San Antonio, who brought the lad
les to the hospital.
It was stated at the hospital that
the patients were both getting along
quite well and that while they had
suffered a severe nervous shock they
were not at all seriously injured and

BAND
TO MAKE TOUR
OF The CITIES

Some time during the month OF
May, ii present plans materiallze,
there will be offered in Douglas a
series of programs by the 10th
cavalry band. That was tentatively
agreed upon yesterday between some
of the representatives of the Douglas
Chamber of Commerce and Wade H.
Hammond, leader of the band, who
came to the city to confer with the
business interests here as to including
this city in the itinerary of the
cavalry band when it starts its annual
tour in observance OF music week.
Details of the plan for the visit
OF the band have not been worked
out but it is quite poSSii4e that 1t
will make Douglas its headquarters
for three or four days and in doing
so will, with the compliments of the
Douglas Chamber ofoCommerce, make
visits to the smaller towns and play
program at the schools. The idea
is. to make the band ar agency OF
contact which will bring the people
into touch with the better things
in music for it may be stated here
that Director Hammond OF the band
is not only a master musician buG
he is a pronounced advocate OF the
musical classics tand has wide
reputation becausef OF his high
musical talent. 1901
The 10th cavalry band has been
making these tours over the state i'll
former years and has played in
Douglas but in the itinerary OF last
wear Douglas was not included The
i1N
larger cities but also number OF
the smaller ones and wherever 1t
went it was received with enthusiastic
favor. There ares between 30 and
40 in the party that makes the trip.
They carry their own camping OUTFIT
including the cooks and mess car
and there are % musicians in the
band.
Director Hammond speaking of the
tour said yesterday: ut is our
purpose to bring the people OF the
places we visit into contact with and
enjoyment of the best there is III
music. We love the best music. The
west has always been noted for It's
| big-heartedness. We believe ii we
add to that something OF the cultural
/ that comes through the best IN music,
that we will have communities about
as good as could be found. And that
is what there is at the back of our
tours-a desire to help to some
extent in developing the cultural side
!! of our state"
Director Hammond in talking about
service Of the men in the military
branch of the government remarked
that while it might not generally
be thought of in that connection
military service offers a splendid
opportunity to the negro boys tc
prepare themselves to take their place
as useful citizens of the country. The
service gives them discipline, Q
certain amount of education and I'M
plants a confidence in their oWr
! ability to do a task well" said ne
"After they have gained that point
and have equipped themselves to &C
out into other work, usually they
prefer civilian life to the life OF the
soldier and because OF that fact VIZ
have a considerable turnover In tne
units made up from our race"

Suicide Attempt
Seems Likely To
Prove A Success

That little hope was he'd out for the
life of Charles Rogers, colored, who
attempted suicide in the county Jail al
Tombstone. on Wednesday was indi-
Gated at the county hospital late yes
terday afternoon.
Rogers, who was held for trial for
murder following the killing of a
trooper at Ft. Huachuca, drank Q
quantity of sani-flus, a disinfectant
about noon on Wednesday in the coun-
ty Jail. He was brought to the county
hospital here late Wednesday night in
dying condition but still lived yes
terday afternoon.
Although there seems little likeli-
hood that the man could summon
strength enough to escape from the
hospital, he is being guarded by deputy
Sheriffs.

CAN YOU LICK
THEM AS FAST
AS THEY Sell?

Cash receipts from the sale OF
stamps at the Douglas postoffice for
the month Of January. 1928, totaled
$3,853.36 compared to $3,83767 for
January, 1927, and $3,O55.78 for
January, 1928.
That amount of money would buy
q strip of two-cent stamps three and
one third miles in length and one
stamp in width The stamp is ap-
proximately one inch long and on
the assumption that they are just
one inch in length, the strip which
the $3,853,36 would buy would be
192,668 inches long. There are
63,36O inches in mile and the
1865 inches would equal 3.025
miles, to be exact to the third fraction
on three miles and eight rods.
The stamp is three fourths of an
inch wide and therefore contains
three fourtfls Of a square inch IN
area, so if the stamps, instead of
being taken in a single width were
to be taken blanket form, they would
cover 1913 acres. There are a3,56G
square feet in an acre and the
192,668 stamps would make an area
of 144,5O1 square feet
AS indicated, this is all on the
assumption that two cent stamps
were being bought IT one cent stamps
were being used the distance and
the area would simply be twice that
indicated.
On the basis that the sales were
in two cent stamp denomination, then
the sales for the month OF January
averaged 7,6O7.72 stamps day for
the 25 days when the stamp window
was doing business and as it observed
ten hours to the day for business
days, then the average hourly rate
of stamp sales would have been TIL
stamps, or almost 12O stamps to the
minute for the entire time.
= This is not all the revenue received
for services at the poStoffice. There
are the fees for money orders and
the rental for the boxes, neither
of which is accounted for in this
total. There are several hundred
boxes rented steadily at charges from
rs cents up SO the receipts for the
office materially exceeded the cash
for stamps which includes all de.
nominations of stamps from the one
cent stamp up.

Report of the outcome of the boys

Andrew Robinson was high point
man with 270 credits. Eugene and

SPORTSM ANSHIP

1t is very we'll to go to game IN
any sport and cheer for your team, but
it is violating one of the rules OF fair
play and sportsmanship to razz the
other team. In the last game,
"razzin'" was indulged in until 1t was
disgraceful. >
Those who have in them sense OF
fair play will realize that it angers
the other team as we'll as leaves a
moor opinion of the school giving the
game. 1t is wrong, too, IN that the
opposing team is the guest OF the
home team. Surely, one would not go
about dragging a guest in the dust, so
why do it to visiting team?
craftsmanship today is not that OF
the past century when it was consider
ed the right thing to yell at the 9TH
er team and say every detrimental
thing that came into the spectators
heads. Today, sportsmanshlp OF that
kind is the poorest that can be exhl-
bited anywhere. Good, clean competl-
ton is the very life Of modern sport
If the opposing team makes good
plav give them credit. They have
worked for it. When either team has
free throw, be quiet If the Other
team wins, don't start knocking youl
own team. Instead, give them credit
and above all-be fair!

The time honored drink for give
o'clock tea is tea, coffee or cocoa.
Tea may be varied in several ways,
but the first essentials for good tea
are freshly stepped tea and a pot of
boiling hot water.
It may be served hot with sugar
and slice of orange in which few
cloves have been placed for each cup.
With preserved fruit is another nice
way. one teaspoon of strawberry,
raspberry, cherry or pineapple pre-
serves instead of milk and sugar is
put in each cup.
What May Be Served With Tea
To accompany the tea, toast and
marmalade or fancy sandwiches and
pastry of all kinds may be served as
the hostess desires.
The daintiest linen and most deli
cate china may be used for the SER
vice. A graceful silver service is regal,
but not necessary except in large
homes and for the most formal teas.

Montana Wind to be Tested
By New Velocity Machine

By direction of Prof. Charles F.
Marvin, chief of the weather bureau,
Washington, new style of anemo-
meter is being used for measurement
Of wind velocities at all first class
weather bureau stations in the United
States.
One Of the new type of instruments
has been received at the Havre sta
ton, according to Frank A. Math, in
charge, and the new instrument is
now in service.
Instead of four cups, as were used
formerly, the new instrument has only
three cups. While mechanically similar
to the old anemometer, the new one
differs materially in dimensions. The
cup arms have a length of 6.29 inches
and make $40 revolutions mile of
