STATE HAS TWO OF Il
WOMEN IN u. S. NAVY

Of the IL women who are
members of Uncle Sans
navy, Arizona can boast of
two of them, Miss Ruth Ell
aine Walser, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George J. Walser
of Miami, and Miss Icis De-
light Evans, whose parents
reside in Phoenix. These IL
women are nurses attached
to the U. S. navy hospital
ship, Relief, and are the only
women who sail the seas
with the fleet.
The Relief, a great white
hospital ship, is the only one
of it's kind in operation and
carries a crew of nearly 800
and room for 500 patients.
1t is thoroughly equipped
with m o d ern operating
rooms, X-ray machines and
wards. The women nurses
supervise the work and are
assisted by 1872 male nurses.
The women have no special
rank but are treated as Off
GERS. All are unmarried
since married women are
barred from navy duty.
A section of the ship be-
longs to the women and is
truly feminine in every de-
tail. The women have their
own mess, with men to do
the cooking and serving
Margaret E. Jones, a gray
haired pleasant chief nurse,
served with the navy during
the war and has been a
member for the past Is years
although she was assigned
to sea duty only a year ago.
She claims her II assistants
are all good sailors. The
nurses are appointed by the
secretary of the navy
Exchange.

FALSE Teeth INPONDED
WHEN BANK IS CLOSED

Closing of the First Ma
tional Bank at Ell Paso,
Texas was nothing short of a
personal catastrophe to Paul
Boland, y. S. customs inspec-
tor. His false teeth are lock-
ed up in a salty deposit vault
at the bank.
Its a tragic situation, "
Boland said. Twenty years
ago my dentist made me
some false teeth. At the
same time, he made some
extra ones so that if | ever
broke those in my mouth
they could be replaced by
others of the same size and
color. | put the extra ones
in a safety deposit box for
safe keeping"
Boland's regular set of
teeth broke after the bank
closed. His pleas have failed
to move the bank receiver to
open up his box. Dentists
can't repair the broken set
with the proper colOr.-EX

SCHOOL NOTES

The Coolidge grade school
will have assembly meetings
each week between eleven
and twelve o'clock Fridays,
alternating with the grades
l. 2, 3, 4 one week and 5 4,
6, T. 8 the next week.
This Friday the 5, 6, 7 and
8 grades will hold a session.
The public is invited to all
of these assembly meetings
and various forms of enter
tainment will be presented
by the pupils which promises
to be interesting to every
body.
The enrolment of the
Coolidge school so far is 28O,
there should be at least 100
more children attending
school and Prof. Eisenhart
expects to have all children
of school age under 10 en-
rolled before long. 1t seems
that some parents are neg
lecting their duty to their
children by refusing to send
them to school, this should
not be, and it is time some
thing is done regarding this
negligence.

OUTSIDE FIRMS
SOLICITING PRINTING

The business houses of
Coolidge were flooded last
week with samples and
prices on all kinds of printed
stationery. The paper used
was of a very poor quality
and the prices quoted were
very little cheaper than
those charged by the Cool
idge Examiner. We have
been informed that many of
the samples received were
thrown into the waste bas-
ket where they belong.
The business men and citi-
zens of Coolidge expect their
paper to boost for the up
building of their town, which
is right, but they should also
feel duty bound to give their
patronage to their home
paper. Every dollar sent
away is gone forever, but
that which is spent in the
home town will eventually
find it's way back to you.

SENATOR
FORESEES SIXTY
CENT SILVER

Senator Key Pttman of
Nevada, in an address at
Spokane, said that within so
days the price of silver
would rise to 60 cents per
ounce, more than double it's
present value. It is hoped
he is correct. Yet his state
ment seems rather optimis-
tic
The Nevada senator said
President Hoover within 80
days would call an inter-
national conference on silver
Thirty-two nations, Pittman
stated had given notice they
would be represented. At
this conference m e t h ods
would be devised for increas-
ing the white metal. These
methods would be world
wide in their application and
Pittman said he is confident
they would bring prompt re-
suits.
If silver rose to 60 cents it
would have a tremendous
stimulating effect on all
business. 1t would mean i'm
mediate profits to the silver
producers in the United
States, Mexico and other
countries. But the indirect
beneficial effect probably
would be even greater.
There is an immense amount
of silver in India and China.
The 70O,000,OO0 living in
these countries would be-
come immediate purchasers
of goods of every sort. In
fact SO eminent an authority
as Sir Henri Detering says
the solution of the cotton
problem, lies in appreciation
of the value of silver, that in
creased buying of the part Of
India and China would send
cotton to a price where rails
ing it would be profitable.
There is no question an in
ternational conference could
devise means for sending
the price of silver up but it
may be doubted fthis could
be accomplished in the short
time given by Senator Pitt
man. 1t is plain from his
ia t e m nts that the
attitude of President Hoover
on the question has changed.
A few weeks ago it was stat
ed Hoover was disinclined to
call such a conference. At
that time it was limited Great
Britain was. opposed to any
decisive action. It is likely
Hoover also was planning
the calling of his moratorium
and wish to get that import
ant matter out of the way be-
fore attacking any other pro-
blem. It's also probable that
increasing business depres-
sion in Great Britain has had
an effect on the attitude OF
that country. If India and
China should have their
buying power increased the
effect on British trade would
be beneficial.
Even if Senator Pittman is
inclined to set too short time
limit, it is encouraging busl-
ness depression.-The Su-
perior Sun.

Washington, - President
Hoover turned aside from
government business today
to pay tribute to the Red
Cross as part of the celebra-
ton of the foundation of its
first chapter at DanSville, n.
Y, so years ago, by Clara
Barton.
Speaking over a nation
wide radio hook-up from the
cabinet room of the White
House executive offices, Mr..
Hoover said the organization
proves the ability of a de-
mocracy to create from the
people themselves the agen-
cies for their service"
The Dansville chapter,
known as the Clara Barton
Chapter No. l was organized
by Miss Barton herself in
1881. Of that the president
said:
"The so years which have
passed since that pioneer be-
ginning have written a chap
ter in the worldwide relief
of human suffering which
is a fitting memorial to Miss
Barton and a proud tradition
to her countrymen."
'The beginning of human
enterprises derive their sig
nificance from the service
which time proves their abb
lity to perform for human
ity," Mr.. Hoover said. "The
nation joins in your celebra-
ton because of the success
of the great, humanitarian
agency which sprang from
the mind of Clara Barton
and the spirit of your COM
munity.
"The establishment of the
pioneer chapter in the will
age of Dansville was the
foerunner of $500 chapters
now nj existence throughout
the United States, enrolling
at times of national need as
many as twenty million
members. In its lifetime the
Red Cross has raised and ex-
pended nearly a billion OF
money in the relief of hu-
man distress. The national
organization has become oul
nations assurance of ade.
quate, prompt and efficient
handling of any catastrophe
within our borders. 1t is
the Towering of the spiritua
impulse to sreve to the com
mon need. 1t represents
both the common impulse OF
sympathetic help and the
mechanism for its practica
expression 1t stands as 9
monument to individual ano
local initiative. 1t proves the
ability of a democracy tC
create from the people them
selves the agencies for thell
service" = Winslow Dali!

BRITAIN FACES
GREAT CRISIS
MacD onald's Labor Party
Loses Support, Cabinet
May Resign

LONDON. Aug. 22-tP- Great
Britain tonight began one Of the
most Hateful week ends OF her his
tory, probably the most critical since
end Of the war.
Upon developments tomorrow, or
Immediately after, the life OF the
Mac Donald labor government SEEM
ed tonight to depend, and also the
future Of efforts TO lead the United
Kingdom from a growing economic
crisis into greener fields Of pros
perity.
The Importance OF the situation
was brought home with consider
able force TO a slowly awakening
British public this afternoon by an
announcement from Buckingham
palace that King George was re-
turning BY special train from Bal
moral, Scotland. where he arrived
only yesterday for a vacation.
At the same time Stanley Bald
win. conservative leader and prin-
cipal opponent OF the labor govern
ment, vas hurrying back from a
vacation in France.
In the meantime, behind brown
brick walls Of 10 Downing street
Prime Minister Mac Donald and his
cabinet colleagues fashioned a plan
by which they hoped TO save their
government and to meet the emer-
gency.
What the plan OF the prime min
lister and his colleagues on the cab
met was. 10 weather the storm Of
the trades union council on the one
hand and the deepest convictions OF
certain cabinet members as well IS
the demand Of opposition leaders
for broad slashes in the dole" on
the other, was not made public.
There were indications tonight,
however. that whatever compro-
misses the new plan contains, it was
such the government would have to
proceed without proper co-opera-
ton Of the trades union council,
by far the largest body OF its sup
pOrters.
As generally understood. the DOS
ition Of the prime minister In the
present situation has been that next
years budget be balanced and the
prospective deficit OF about $780,
100000 be met by q policy OF equal
sacrifices for all-apparently invol-
wing salary cuts, a cut In the dole.

Judge Carl said yesterday.
Last week. following a letter ]
received from j.. T.. Berry, asking
several questions in regard to the
situation, / wrote a letter 10 him
expressing our opinion.
These resolutions are the view
OF the democratic executive COM
mittee, and we are announcing them
so that all people can know ON
stand" Judge Carl said.
Resolutions follow:
Be il resolved by the Democratic
executive committee OF Hidalgo
county. duly assembled at Pharr on
the 2ist day OF August. 1881. II
response TO the call Of the chair
man, that all Democrats who went
into the Good Government League
or Good Government party, be. ana
they are hereby. invited to return
to the Democratic party.
That they will be cordially well
coined. and will be given the same
consideration that any democrat IS
accorded who has been In the party
during the last election.
That they will not be discriTsat-
ed against. directly or indI ,ctlv
either as voters or as candidates for
office, should any Of them decide 70
offer for office in the primary.
Insure Fairness.
III such returning Democrats will
select a committee OF their num-
Der. countrywide in its scope, cur
committee will invite said committee
into conference on all matters look
ing to assuring an honest. fair and
impartial election. And We will be
glad 70 have said committee SO "a
be selected by them. name a fair
proportion of the primary election
officers. and neither said committee
nor the democratic executive COM
mittee will name any such election
official against whom a valid obiec-
ton may be lodged.
No man will be pre- o. bed because
he may have voted the Good Gov
eminent ticket last year. either Al
a candidate or as a voter. and. s.
far as we can. we should discourage
any reference to how a man stood
or voted in the last election. ON
highest aim Is 10 make the Demo

absolutely free from ring or boS'
control. and if these men will ioir
us. We will have an absolutely fan

with Democratic principles. but thai
every man should stand on his owl
