TRUE TALES OF THE TELEPHONE

To the small boy shouting at
q cliff and hearing his voice car
ried back to him. an echo is
merely an amusing plaything.
To the telephone transmission
engineer. it is often a most per-
picking problem. Whenever q
telephone current meets any
sudden change ia circuit condi.
tions. part of it may be reflect.
ed back to its source, where il
echoes the sound carried by the
original current.
On short lines, just as in small
rooms, echoes are not percepti.
BILE. On long loaded cables,
however. the interval between
original sound and echo may be
so long as to cause serious com.
plications. Unless measures
were taken TO guard against
yshams echoes might travel back
and forth indefinitely, making
conversation difficult.
Telephone engineers get rid Of
these troublesome intruders by
installing special devices or
switches so sensitive that they
are operated by the voice itself.
These devices or switches per.
NIT q voice current to pass in
the desired direction but form q
barrier against any reflected
portion which would otherwise
interfere with conversation.
They are, in effect, automatic
traps set by the voice to capture
its own echo.-Telephone Press

ARiZONA'S HIGHWAY AID FUND
ENLARGED

Arizona will have more than

made by M. G. Hankins, secre
tary of the Arizona State High
way Commission. 1t was learn
ed that Arizona has been allotted
$708.13 of the supplemental ap
preparation authorized for fed
eral aid in q bill recently signed
by President Hoover.
The additional amount granted
Arizona brings the total of the
federal fund to this state to
about 100000, Mr.. Hankins

to be made available through
the various highway taxation
funds of the state indicate that
more than 100000 will be

The Arizona allotment IS not

JUMPING AT CONCLUSIONS

Recently news dispatches stat.
ed that tax collections from small
arms manufacturers between
July /, 1929, and January 81,
1880, totaled $272,555, an in.
crease of $685. in z months.
The conclusion drawn was
that three times as many wea.
pons we're sold during this period
as during the one preceding it.
Immediately the reformers tri-
umphantly announced that we
were a nation of gun toters"
and called for drastic anti-re.
volver legislation.
Then it occurred to someone
to investigate the report and the
Treasury Department was asked
for an explanation. 1t replied
that the increase in taxes col.
lected was not due to increased
sales but to collection of delin.
quent taxes for prior years and
that the figures actually reflect
a slight decrease of taxes on
current sales. The business of
small arms manufacturers is re.
ported to have actually decreas-
ed in 1929.
So we aren't becoming q ma.
tion of indiscriminate "gun-tot.
ers" after all. and the reformers
will have to find another reason
why laws should te passed pro.
hibiting guns to law-abiding
citizens and thus leaving them
at the mercy of a criminal class
that breaks all laws.

HAPPY DAYS

1T is better to travel hopeful.
ly than to arrive" said Steven.
son. Life is a pursuit, not an
occupation. 1t is something to
do, not something to learn.
When happiness becomes an &C
complisbed fact it ceases to ex.
ist. So long as it is q chase, it
lives.
Doctors agree that there is
nothing more ruinous to health
than to retire from active work
at too early an age.
The same law holds good in
the business of happiness. To
believe that at last the goal is
reached, is to miss it altogether.
Like the blue bird in Maeter
linck's story, happiness turns
black as soon as it is Gagged.
Think of the days of greatest
happiness in your life. Were
they not the days when you were
working and striving for a goal
When you and your partner were
facing the world with a modest
salary and a grin? When you
had a little apartment and fur
nished it a room at a time? When
you paid off the mortgage on
your home, or got the big raise,
or launched into business for
yourself? Those were the hap
py days.
Happy not because you had
finished something, but because
you had started something.
And you never have been as
contented since. unless you cont
nued the wise process of pursuing
happiness, always setting ou
hopefully for some new objec
tive as soon as you arrived any
where. re.-Tempe News.

University of Arizona (Tucson)
Some individuals grades are
greatly lowered by athletics but
I do not think that the general
average of students competing
in athletics is increased by the
spur of such competition" Such
is tie opinion of Walter Davis.
University of Arizona track
coach.
Altho Davis has never made
an extensive study of the grades
of athletics and non-athletic
students, be has been interested
in the subject for number Of
years, and has watched the
scholastic standing of many of
his athletes while in and. out of
competition. THE grades of
student who has only a mediocre
intellect are Increased by strict
athletic eligibility rules" Coach
Davis further stated.
Take any eleven men off a
football squad and compare them
with eleven non-athletic stu
dents, picked at random. and
the average of the football men
will be higher than that of the
non-athlete. This has been done
time and again and has almost
always proved to be true. There
are athletes with a low intelli
gence rating, who are doing
better work than non-athletes
with the same rating, simply Of
desire to compete in athletics. !"
Davis believes that often the
reason for the grade taboo being
put upon athletics is due to the
fact that q naturally lazy stu
dent, who tries out for some
phase of athletics, uses such
competition as an excuse for
poor grades.
Davis does not maintain that
athletics raise the grades of all
men competing, and believes
that it often brings about poor
grades because Of diverted at
tention. But the belief of many
who think that the athlete is not
a scholar as we'll, and often
times abetter one than the non
athlete, is a false idea with a
wobbly foundation. Davis cited
Johnny Riggs, star Arizona ath
lete, who has been an outstand.
ing man in three major sports
during the past year, and who
has, at the present time, one of
the highest averages of any
student in the university. He
has watched thepgrades of men
while in and out of competition
and has found that during the
time of competition. competitors
grades are almost always higher.

COPPER PRICE REDUCED

New York. April 15.-The
Copper Export Association to
day recommended to it's foreign
members that the price of copper
be reduced from 1880 cents to
1870 cents per pound, G. I. F.
European ports. The associa
ton stated that its recommends
ton came as the result of large
offers of the red metal having
been made below the current
quoted price.
Corresponding reductions were
made in the domestic price of
the metal to IA cents pound de
livered the end of July from the
previous 18 cent level.
The drop in copper prices
comes after about a year in
which copper has been stabilized
by large producers at 18 cents a
pound, for domestic shipment.
The cut to ii cents reduces cop
per to the lowest level since
1923.
Since the slack business con.
ditions which developed last fall, :,
large producers have had in.
cres sing difficulty in maintaining
the high price. Despite curtail.
ment of production, refined
stocks have been steadily piling
up during recent months, and
consumers have gone on what
amounted to a buyers strike,
believing the position of the pro
ducers to be untenable.
The cut in prices is regarded
in Wall street as a step which
will result in the rapid moving
of unwieldy stocks into consump
tion.

MEXICO CITY-Prelimlnary to

IN Mexico during 1881 and subse-

all governors of the republic 10

The governors are n present

To date Mexico mas concentrated
its irrigation activities on several
large projects. notably the Presa
Gales. the Rio Mantle. and the Rio
Salado dams. but the new plan
calls for distribution Of smaller If

The new plan Of the National II

that launched recently by the Ma

greatly assisting trees in securing
the proper amount Of moisture and
food elements. Deep tillage tools or
orchard cultivators are used.
Irrigation Methods also are i'm
proving with the installation OF un-
derground canal systems and con-
creted surface canals in various
parts OF the county. MI. Kirkpatrick
said.
In the Pharr system alone there
are 10000 acres served by an under
ground distribution system while
there are 10000 additional acres SO
served in the Engelman Gardens
and $4,000 in the =. M Goodwin,
Inc. tract.
McAllen's canal system has al
ready been concerted and the Edin-
burg district IS at work on its sys-
TEN.
BY utilizing all these methods and
keeping their orchards clean the
growers are realizing greater yields
from their trees. a better quality OF
fruit and their groves have a much
better appearance. Trees also are
in much better shape TO withstand
low temperatures and plant pests.

RAPID ADVANCE In CARE OF

est IN their holdings and better re-
turns are being secured on every
hand, according TO j. w. Kirkpat-

One OF the most beneficial prac-
tees adopted by citrus growers is
the planting OF cover crops. Between
eight and ten thousand acres Of
such cover crops which help retain
moisture IN the soil and contribute
necessary plant food elements have
been planted In Hidalgo county.
Some growers have found a way
to produce a complete cycle OF COW
er crops. BY planting Canadian
peas they have q fall cover crop in
addition to the cowpeas and sweet
clover which furnish coverage in the
other seasons Of the year.
Growers have become more inter
ested in their orchards. Mr.. Kirk
patrick said. They are not only in
terested in those things which will
increase the yield and quality Of
fruit but also the appearance Of the
groves.
