ANDREWS TALKS
OF CLUBS IDEALS
AT WEEKLY MEET
Kiwanis Initiates Four New
Members and Hears Tue
sOnan Speak

Rev George Andrews, of Tucson,
delivered an address before the Doug
las Kiwanis club yesterday at nocn.
The speaker talked OF the high ideals
of Kiwanis and what the club expects
of it's members. Andrews. a Kiwan-
ian for more than seven years, ccm-
pared the club with other luncheon
clubs. He explained that MANY
luncheon clubs we're formed expressly
for selfish reasons but that Kiwanis
was formed for community service.
He emphasized the aims of XII
wants by quoting the club motto
I'VE Build" He said that the club
builds a bigger and better community
in a material way but that the great
thing which Kiwanis builds is char
acter, community pride and COM
munity spirit, good, citizens, better
manhood and more real brother
hood.
Andrews brought out a great point
in service and in citizenship building
when he related that the Tucson club
spends about $500 each year in ma
terial aid to underprivileged children.
He then quoted from the records that
there are nearly 1,70O clups in the
international and considering that
each Of them spends, on an average.
$1,000 year for Nunderprivileged
child work then the Kiwanis organ
ization is spending annually S1,700,000
in this one activity alone
The speaker emphasized the idea
that man must be good citizen,
booster, broadminded and unselfish
and good sportsman to be a
worthy member of Kiwanis. He re-
lated that those who we're not worthy
were automatically dropped from the
club in a short time after they had
been taken in ''by mistake"
The Tucson Kiwanian ended his
speech by prophesy that Kiwanis
will grow and become greater and
stronger because it stands for the
best things in, the country and in
each community.
Four new members were initiated
into the local club at this luncheon.
They were, Arthur C. Karger, William
L. Smith, George S, Cowden and r.
P. Dean. DR.. John r. Newcomer
officiated at the initiation and de-
liyered the initiatory ritual
I H A. Wimberley brought out in a
short, talk that the entire club is
responsible for the success of the
Easter sunrise service tc be held at
Twin Buttes and asked that every
member either attend the party on
next Wednesday afternoon 10 drive
out and clean the ampltheater or
send a representative.
President Guy Crouch announced
that on April IL the meeting for
lunch at noon will entertain the
members OF the Aqua ,Prieta Chamber
of Commerce. DR.. A. L. Massey will
be chairman at that time.
Pat White, chairman of the lunch
con yesterday delivered a tribute, to-
the late W. D. King. killed Tuesday
in an aercplane crash at ~;iuca,
Mexico White pointed out that King
was engaged in pioneering for avia-
ton at che time he died and ex-
pressed regret at the passing Of a
progressive citizen and a iovaole
character.
Music was furnished for the lunch
yesterday by an orchestra from the
high school talent scheduled to sing
in the state music contest to be held
at Risbee. Rev E. J. Congdon was

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
THE HEN TRIuMPHS

HE HEN lhAOMFHS
When science, by means OF the violet
ray
Which emitted long luminous
streaks,
Had assisted the indolent biddy to
lay
An egg every day for two weeks;
Men opened their mouths in cape
OF surprise
AS they heard of this magic ap-
pliance
And cried with wondering look in
their eyes;
"What marvellous thing is this
science"
The hens, we presume, were a little
dismayed
For the future loomed gloomy and
drear
When they glanced at the nest full
of eggs they had latd
And thought of the chicks they
must rear.
You would think that their tails
they'd Indignantly swish
And emitting soul weary groan
Express an excited, and blasphemouS
wish
That Science would let them alone.
Yet one of their number, unnoted by
men,
AS she sat on her hennery shelf
Determined to prove what single
lone hen
Could do by her unaided self.
Without any boosting py loud sizzling
coil
Or spiraling violet ray,
She gave herself up to laborious toll
And 10! she laid two eggs a day.
Far be it from us to belittle the
stunts
That the great men OF science have
done;
We think that the world should ac-
cord them at once
The credit they ably have won,
Their coming achievements no voice
nor no pen
Can with any assurance predict,
But we're bound to admit that we
think even then
That nature will still have them
lickedl

 milton of Word "Simlar"

The word similar" was elevated to position of importance in city court this morning when it became what will probably be a deciding factor in the suit of T. c. Smith $ Sons against Rose Miklosz for money due on a monument furnished and erected some time ago. C. r. Gatf- ney appeared for the plaintiff and Joseph c. Woods represented the defendant. Judge Morris D. Sake presided.
 The plaintiff claimed that a monu- ment was furnished the defendant according to a contract that specified that the amount be similar" to one the defendant had seen. The plain tiff further claimed that the de- fendant appeared to be entirely sat isfled with the monument and that she saw it several before it was placed in the cemetery. expressing her satisfaction with it. X contract had been drawn up before the work was started. to which the defendant affixed her name.
 Some time later. the plaintiff claimed. an attempt was made 10 secure the balance due on the nonu- ment. but met with no success, be- cause the defendant was said to have mad. a statement to the ef- feet that plaintiff had not fulfilled the terms Of the contract.
 Attorney Gaiiney presented several witnesses who stated that the monu- ment was similar" 10 the model used, being the same ill a general way, but differing in several re- spects, with regard to measure ments. The word similar" was de- fined by expert witnesses as nearly like" The defendants attorney contended that the word means "alike in every detail' or identical"
 MT. Woods, after securing the use of a dictionary, presented a paper ill court, upon which the word Was defined as identical" Mr. Gaffney contended that similar" means nearly like" after consulting q dic- tionary. Mir. Woo,is seated that his Webster" was better than Mir. Gaffney's Webster" and the spec tators snickered. One of the eA- perts was asked what he would as- sume similar" to mean if it were used in contract that he was about to fulfill. He stated that he wouldn't use the word.
 The case Hinged on that word. ap- parently. insofar as determining whether or not the defendant re- ceived what she contracted for. Mir. Woods introduced Q counterclaim for $500 damages. alleging that the defendant did not receive what she contracted for and that 1t would cost that amount to alter the monu- ment to satisfy her. The plaintiff claimed $l.S00 damages for the money due on the monument. the base and markers for the cemetery plot.

mind cases Of cruelty such as these" He nolled Charges of driving truck with improper brakes and without an operators license, in Sweig's case. Defense of the municipal abat- toir's system of having no running water available on Sundays was made this afternoon in a statement issued by Dr. Richard w. Pullen, superintendent, in explanation Of the condition which brought criticism from Judge Henry P. Roche today.
 Dr. Pullen said:
 The barns at the slaughter house were originally designed as automo- bile and wagon sheds. For the con- venicnce of persons using the slaug- ter house they were later changed to permit keeping animals there for brief period.
 There is nothing which requires any butcher to keep any animals in these barns at any time. No fee is charged for the service of the barns. The slaughter house has never been open Sundays. In view of the fact the there is nothing which requires butchers to keep cattle in the sheds no provision for Sunday service in these sheds has been made. When cattle have been left there they are left there entirely at the owners re- sponsibility. It is not practical to supply water during the winter be- cause of the fact that the pipes freeze and break.
 We feel that since the sheds are only a matter of convenience and since it Is a well known fact that the slaughter house is closed on Sundays, that our procedure is en- tirely justified"
