Rodeo Should Be Annual Affair

Perpetuating old western life and at the same
time furnishing wholesome, manly amusement for
the boys from the wide open spaces we'll for the
public generally the Nogaes Rodeo was pronounced
from the standpoint Of sports and should be
made regular annual affair in the border city.
Gene Sykes and Less Wooddell, the leading pro
moters Of the Rodeo deserve the thanks of entire
citizenship for the splendid program they furnished
and for the manner in which the Rodeo conducted
Some of the most famous cowboys in tpe entire
west here to participate and some of them We
had never before seen in action. When it comes to
thrills and dare devilt1y, those lads come max
ing your hair stand on ends than anything we have
witnessed in recent years.
The cash prizes offered were big enough to at
tract the best and they were all here-every mothers

We have but suggestion to make When We
have the next Rodeo let's not have any other events to
interfere. Let's time the program SO that the Rodeo
the Ball game and every other feature will be staged
without competition Then the crowds can attend each
event and no one will miss anything.
Let's all get behind the fellows now and make the
Nogales Rodeo an annual certainty from now on.

Adopt Nogales Idea In Mexican Mining Laps

The Nogalea chamber Of commerce again receiv-
ed recognition when the Mexican government enacted
q new mining law whcih greatly benefits American
tion offered by the Nogales chamber ncorporat-
ed in the new law which becomes effective October L.
Early resumption Of mining activity throughout
Mexico and especially in the state Of Sonora is
pected to result from the passage of this law.
This matter was first taken up by the chamber
of commerce in March, 1929, when meetings were
held daily for several weeks until finally definite
program was agreed upon.
The recommendations and suggestions were then
forwarded to the Mexican government at Mexico City,
and the new mining law is the result. The local
chamber had the close cooperation in this by various
commercial bodies in Mexico, notably the chambers
Of commerce Of Nogales, Sonora and Monterey
This mining law is one Of the most construc-
tive pieces of legislation enacted by the present egis

REASON By Ff nzHpfg

AVER century ago, the boyish Lincoln lay on
~ cabin floor down in southern Indiana, reading
by the Pickering fireplace light the life of Washington
Little did he dream that some day his letters would
be more highly valued than those of the Father of his
Country.
Yet at recent auction of manuscripts in Chi.
cago LincolnS letters brought almost twice as much
Washington'S, $3.50 being paid TO- one by the for
mer while $500 was the highest price paid for one by
the latter.
THIS disparity in price is the more remarkable be-
4 because the Lincoln letter was written in 1849,
when its author was obscure citizen while the
Washington letter written white its author was
holding his ragged Contneptals together during that
terrible winter at Valley Forge.
The cause of this is the constantly growing fame
OF the Emancpator and the rapdity OF this growth in
recent years is shown by the fact that ten years ego

wondered where this relic is now.
TT is the small campaign handbook which Lincoln
l. used in his fight with Stephen A Douglas the
year Of their great joint debates
1t is filled with pasted clippings and Lincoln's
comments thereon, together with questions which he
wrote down to ask Douglas. This document would
be worth fortune today.
If an ordinary Lincoln letter be worth $780, think
what the collectors would pay for that most pic
turesque implement of Lincoln'S early education;
think what they would pay for the old wooden fire
shovel upon which he used to write the lines which
he wished to commit to memory.

Tendencies which unchecked and uncorrected are
not less grave in the perils they foreshadow than
those which plunged the nation into civil war" Such
is the picture of the United States drawn by President
Angel of Yale university
He charges the American people with "sordid and
vulgar" r1aterialism and money worship and with
'chauvinistic nationalsm"
We confess that we like DR.. Angeles blast more
than some of the Memorial day addresses we have
read. capacity for courageous self-critcism is the
prime requisite of progress little soul-search
ing and good deal less boasting will do America no
harm.
Even so, we find this pedagog'S aim somewhat wide
of the mark.
Materialism and money worship are relative. Most
Americans achieve financial security Of course
much of their lives are centered on money making.
But, unless observation is completely at fault,
the sordid materialism so typical of the European
peasant and CITY worker is not common here. In
deed, Americans generally the most wastefu and
prodigal people on EARTH
There is more truth in Dr. Angels charge of
chauvinstic natonasm. 1t is not however the posi-
tive danger which he diagnoses; rather negative
thing.
American opposition to international organization
is largely = matter of geography. International
mindedneSs receded with the distance from Europe.
IndG is naGural IL is not VICIOUS American unWll1-
ingness to NEEDLE in other nations quarrels is a
virtue-and the exact opposite of the trait of
chauvinistic nationalism WATCH the professor sees
in u.s.
To be sure, postwar America has become the
worlds most far-reaching economic empire and the
day of an solationis foreign policy is past But isn't
it expecting too much for the rank and file of people,
busy with their own affairs, to discover Americas
world position so quickly? Give them time!

Mars, No10 a Morning Star,
Always Has Been q Planet
of Great Interest to Earth
Daceners.
: BY DAVID DIETZ

ONE who stays up very late, in
~ deed, or rises quite early may
catch glimpse of the planet Mars
during June.
Mars is now a morning star" "
rising or coming UP over the east
ern horizon about three hours
ahead of the sun.
You may see Mars in the eastern
sky, therefore, approximately be-
tween a. m. and a. m.
The planet Mars always has in
terested mankind. Because of its
color and brightness and it's move
ment amongst the stars, it must
have been noticed and remarked
upon by prehistoric man.
References to it are to be found
in the earliest records of civiiza-
ton. 1t is easy to see why the
Romans named it after their god of
war, for the reddish hue of the
planet is quite warlike.
The lurid tint of the planet is in
marked contrast to the whiteness
of Venus and Jupiter, the two
planets now visible in the western
sky just after sunset.
The intensity and color of Mars
varies with it's position with refer
ence to the sun and the earth.
When Mars is closest to the earth,
it is brighter than a first magnitude
star and glows with a very red
color. In ancient days, Mars was
regarded with superstitious fear at
such times as a portent of war.

FIRST WHITE HOUSE
WEDDING

June 2.
ON June 2 1886, the first we'd
~ ding in the White House took
place when President Grover Cleve-
land married Miss Frances Folsom
of Buffalo, the daughter of his
former law partner. She was %
and he 48.
A writer describes the event as
follows: Frances did not promise
to obey but simply to love. honor,
comfort and keep The brides veil
was nearly six feet long. 1t was not
a big wedding. The guests were
few. Both Frances and her husband
were opposed to a snowy ceremony

Canals

EVEN a small telescope will reveal
II that the disc of Mars is broken
up into markings of various shades.
A large telescope reveals markings
which are permanent.
But while these markings can be
seen from year to year, they under
go seasonal changes, appearing
differently in what would be the
Marian winter from what they do
in the Marian summer.
The disc of the planet is in gen.
eral a sort of ruddy or orange color.
About three-eighths of the surface,
however, is covered by the so-called
darker regions which range from
blush gray to greenish in color.
The poles of the planets are
marked with brilliant white polar
caps.
The reddish areas do not change
with the seasons and are thought to
be bare rock.
The polar caps grow larger or
smaller with seasons and for that
reason are thought to be caps Of
ice, melting with warm weather and
spreading with cold weather.
In addition to the large markings
just described, some astronomers be-
live that there is a network OF finer
markings on Mars, the so-called
canals.
These were described for the first
time in 1877 by Schiaparelli. Today,
eminent observers are divided. Some
insist that they can make out a
complete canal system on the
planet. Others say they can see
only some fuzzy markings of no
systematic nature.
Prof. Henry Norris Russell sums
up the situation as follows: "At the
present time it is generally recog-
nized that there exists an objective
basis for the canals in the form of
fine details on the surface of Mars
and it is believed widely that these
details have, in general way the
streaky characters of the canals;
but the existence of a geometrical
network is doubted or denied by a
large majority of astronomers"

draining, and for the removal of
sediment and infectious material.
Under these circumstances the
swimmer is not likely to be infect
ed, unless he comes in contact with
a heavy dose of infection from some
person who should not be using the
pool.
It is important to realize that
there are few cases of infection
from swimming in the ocean or
from swimming in rivers or lakes
where people are few.
In crowded bathing beaches where
there is hardly room to move the
arms, people constantly are exposed
to the excretionS and secretionS Of
their neighbors.
Indeed, civilization and the over
crowding of human beings bears the
brunt of responsibility for infection
of the respiratory tract.

Figures

NTARS is the next planet i'll order
1V1 after the earth, going outward
from the sun. The order is Mer-
curry, Venus, our own earth and
then Mars.
Mars is little more than one
and a half times the distance from
the sun that the earth is. It's av-
erage distance is 141, 100000. (The
earth is 100000 miles from the
sum-
Due to the fact that both the
earth and Mars are moving around
the sun in orbits, the distance be-
tween the two planets depends upon
where they are in their orbits.
Further variations are also intro
duced in the distance by the fact
that both orbits exhibit a certain
amount of fattening or eccentricity.
When the earth and Mars are at
their closest, they are separated by
34,600,000 miles. 1t is then that
Mars appears its brightest in the
heavens.
When farthest apart, the two
planets are separated by 234, 4O0,UUO
miles.
Mars takes longer to go around
the sun than does the earth. A
Marian year is equal to 667 of our
days.
Mars has a diameter equal to a
little more than half that of the
earth. The diameter is 4,215 miles.
Astronomers feel certain that this
figure is correct to a margin of ten
miles.
The markings on the surface of
the planet make it possible to OBJ
serve the rotation period OF Mars
with great exactness. The planet
rotates upon it's axis in "a hours
81 minutes 1888 seconds.

TINE coming of warmer weather
4 means for the physician an in
creasing number of infected ears
due to carelessness in swimming
and bathing.
British authorities group patients
according to two types-those who
have infected noses and those sub
ject to recurrent infections in the
ear.
The swimmer must breathe cor
rectly if he is to be secure against
an involuntary rush of water into
the nose. People with chronically
infected noses or with ear drums
that have permanent perforations
because of infection should avoid
bathing in public swimming pools.
The American investigators have
