for the Arizona of today.

ia the invitation for this years
party that continuous residence
since prior to 1890 is the only
restriction made on attendance
at the annual frolic. The date
is fixed by the organization
which has charge Of the re

ton is entitled to attend the 1lth
annual pioneers reunion.
As in the past, the reunion

ment, theater parties in Phoe-
nix's finest show houses and the
annual meeting Of the Arizona
Pioneers association, an organi.
zation to which many of those
attending the reunion belong and
which always holds it's meetings
in connection with the reunion.
The reunion each year is
tribute of the modern, progress,
sive Arizona, to the men and
women who by their unceasing
work, priyation and hardships
aud perseverance, made the
Baby State" possible.
Plans have been under way
for some time for this 11th an
nual event and the prediction is
made that the 11.h time the frolic
will exceed its predecessor.
Although each year inevita.
bly, sees the passing OF many of
these fine men and women whom
we had the pleasure of greeting
the year before, we are making
preparations to entertain more
pioneers than ever. Mr.. Stauffer
said in issuing the invitation for
the annual reunion.
Each year the pioneers ap
preciate more the opportunity Of
gathering in Phoenix with their
friends Of long ago. Each year
they make more concerted
effort to be present.
Some 1000 pioneers we're en-
tertained at the 10th annual
reunion last April and we expect
as many as $500 this year. We
want them to be here and enjoy
with their contemporaries in the
building Of Arizona, the enter.
tainment provided"

Ques.-B. G.: How can one estimate
how far away flash of lightning is?
Ans.-One can tell quite accurately
how far away flash of lightning is
by taking watch and noting the
number of seconds which elapse be-
tween the flash of lightning and the
time when one hears the thunder. If
as much as five seconds elapse it is
about mile away, since sound trav-
els only about 100 feet per second
and there are $3.50 feet in a, mile.
Ques.-E. NJ: Are the windmill
wings" of the autogyro motor-driven?
Ans.-The windmill wings" or ro-
tor blades are mounted in such a man.
rer that they can be connected with
the motor and disconnected by certain
manipulations on the part of the pill
OF. In taking off the rotor blades are
connected with the motor to give the
airplane lift" but once in the air it
is disconnected and operates on its
power. In case the motor fails the
ship will not come to earth as swiftly
as the more conventional type of
planes due to the fact that the more
downward pull is applied to the rotor
blades the more rapidly they revolve
and thus bring the plane to earth
gently. lowering over a fixed spot,
eliminating spins, etc., are only a few
of the advantages of the autogyro.
Ques.-A. W.: How did the Rock of
Gibraltor come to be a possession of
Great Britain?
Ans.-The Rock of Gibraltor was
captured by the combined Dutch and
English forces July "a, 1904 and
ceded to Great Britain by the Treaty
of Utrecht in 1713. SPAIN set out to
recapture it in 1879 and a siege last
ing three years, seven months and
twelve days followed The British
withstood the siege successfully and
the Peace of 1888 secured the Rock
to Great Britain.
Ques.-C. M. R.: How long does it
take light to reach the earth from the
moon and stars?
Ans.-Light travelling at the rate of
10000 miles per second requires IL
seconds to reach us from the moon,
8 minutes to come from the sun and
Az years to cross the space between
us and the nearest star. The Hercules
star system is so far distant that the
light which left it $4,000 years ago
has only just reached us, while there
is another globular cluster that is
distant more than 100000 light years
from the earth. A light year is
nearly six million million miles.

BANK BANDITS
MADE ESCAPE

also ordered to the floor of the direc-
tors room. Mr.. Hammargren reports
that this is the first time he has ever
looked into loaded gun and it looked
big enough to blow his head off. He
did not lie down quick enough to
suit the bandit and was struck over
the shoulder with the gun. Mr.. Han
son also got a rap from the gun.
Got Away Hurriedly.
Having completed their job in the
bank which took only a few minutes
the three men jumped into the wait
ing car at the curb where a fourth
man was at the wheel. The car was
a new Chrysler eight and it sped
south on the pavement at a very fast
rate. 1t is believed they drove but
about four miles on Highway No. 1
and then off on a side road to the
west where they may have been in
hiding for a time. William Marian,
a painter, arrived with a rifle, and
together with Mr.. Hammargren, DIR.
Swennes, and Mr.. Nelson started in
pursuit. Other folks also pursued but
without result. The robbers were
young men, presumably between 25
and 80 years and unmasked. They
apparently were mislead in their de-
mand for more money by reports of
large hauls in two Minnesota rob-
berries last month. In one, five men
got $4,000 from the First National
Bank of Staples, July Is, and in the
other, four robbers took $4,000 from
the Cottonwood State Bank July 90.

Statement From Camp.
The following statement on the eff
forts to reduce post Office expenditures
was issued tonight at the camp:
The conference this afternoon was
devoted to consideration of methods Of
reducing expenditures below appropria-
lions. The results of the drive last
year to reduce expenditures were re-
viewed, as were plans for reducing ex-
penditures during the next year.
The discussion covered the activities
of each branch of the department. It
was preliminary to a second conference
held tonight. At the afternoon confer
ence the difficulty presented itself of
reducing expenditures and at the same
time not discharging any employees.
The heads of the department report
ed that representative employees in many
sections of the country have indicated
they would be glad to make their con-
trlbution to reducing expenditures by
deferring increases in salary. They feel
they are performing real and patriotic
service in so doing
The officials said there would be no
reduction in pay in any particular.
Neither is it proposed to reduce the
number of employees except through
deaths and natural separation.
