ON UTILITY BILL
international News Service

international News Service
Speaker Byrns today personally
appealed to revolving members Of
the House Interstate Commerce
Committee to give the Admins
tration's bill outlawing giant util-
ity holding companies a chance
on the House floor.
Despite passage of the bill by
the Senate yesterday, a group Of
Democrats on the House commit
tee were making a desperate fight
against the provisions of the bill
which would dissolve holding COM
panies.
Almost simultaneously Senator
Gore CD of Oklahoma served no
tice on the Senate that he would
move to reconsider the vote by
which the bill was passed.
The measure was passed by the
Senate by a vote Of Sc to 80, after
an effort to eliminate authority
to force dissolution of utility
holding companies failed by one
vote.
Agree on Easement
A House subcommittee already
has tentatively agreed to modify
the dissolution provisions of the
Administration bill.
Representative Pettengill CD
of Indiana, member of he SUP
committee, admitted that sections
ordering dissolution had been
made less severe" by tentative
agreement.

.UR family had attended Christ

OUR family had attended Christ
l mas services at the church on
~ the brow of the hill.
1t is just little brown church"
but of recent years it has been
modernized with furnace, a base
ment for church dinners, and work
table and sand piles in the Sunday
school rooms. The grOwn-ups like
it better since there are more and
bigger oil lamps.
"What else are you doing at your
church this week?" asked Uncle Joe
as he spread his napkin and looked
toward the turkey. Uncle Joe is a
New England minister, with his
eyes usually set on heaven; but he
does like turkey.
"Why, nothing else,' mother an
swered. What would we have at
the church besides Sunday services
and the Christmas sermon, since
we've left off Wednesday night
prayer meetings?'
Tell you what Ia 90 Ii IL were

ing father carve. I'D keep the
place warm all this week."
Brother jumped. 'You wouldn't
expect me to go to church every
day, sir?"
"Td fix it so you couldn't stay
away. Would you turn down a
chance at an old-fashioned taffy
pull?
'Then, since your mother doesn't
have to get you off to school this
week, why shouldn't she go her
self"
Are you leaving me out, JOe?"
asked father, laying down the cary
ing tools.
mot by any means! This would
be a mighty good time to get your
county agent to tell you what to
raise next year instead Of corn and
hogs. Or to get your hand in at
chess. By the way. II have all

games. I'll bet there are sets of
anagrams and cribbage just going
to waste in your attic"

Rapidly
Gaining Headway

The Nogales high school basket
ball team is rapidly gaining head
way after a slow start and from all
appearances will be a first class
cage squad by the end of the pre-
sent season.
A carry over of roughness from
the football season is still hamp-
ering the team considerably, but
!-Coach Lloyd Ledford is rapidly
knocking this rough edge off the
squad.
Ample reserve material is one OF
the most promising features Of the
years squad, as several promising
men are in evidence for every po-
sition, with no one of them being
good enough to date to assure him
cinch on berth. It is evident that
competition will be keen for posi-
tions all the season.
Negotiations are still under way
for contests for the Apaches, but
the following games have been
definitely placed on the 1886 sche-
dule:
January 4 Tucson High at Tue

"My stars! Here comes old Emil

of that new cider and mince pie,

Mrs. Dodge had a bountiful ma

and the many other hangers-on, who
always showed up around Christ
mas; while the supply Of pies and
puddings grew less and less as the
visitors departed.

Mrs. Dodge. But look of per-

way home-for his poor family.
Mother-I couldn't, couldn't help
it,"
"Well," sighed Mrs. Dodge, with a
crestfallen face. 81 guess they
need it all right-and we still have
the ham,"
A light quick step sounded on the
snowy porch.
Mother! Mother!" shouted Joel,
bounding into the house with a
bundle larger than himself. "See
See what I have! I won the big
25-pound turkey at the bazaar!"
"Why, son!" exclaimed Mr..
Dodge, "that turkey is twice the
size Of the one we gave away"

Habits of Crayfsh

Some crayfish live in the water
underground. They burrow up 10
the top Of the ground and build up
little "chimneys' or earth pellets
around the opening of the burrow.
Crayfish make excellent fish Dalt

the casting off of the old, outgrown

THE VOICE OF SAFETY

Citizens who visited the local Fox Theatre ast week
deeply impressed by the dramatic effect of recent
traffic safety Innovation which has just been inaugural
ed in connection with the campaign reduce traffic ac
cidents and deaths
The attention of the theatre first rveted by
the shrl blast of a siren following which flashed
upon the the picture of white cross such s
used mark spO. the streets of Detroit where
traffic death has occurred during the past year At
this dramatic point two officers brief safety talks
urging pedestrians motorists and parents of small chill
dren to cooperate in observing traffic regulations
The two patromen assigned to this phase of traf-
fic safety Officers Barton and Mulholland of the
First Precinct of the Detroit Police Department Their
brief appearance at the Fox and other downtown
theatres will continue few minutes each morning and
evening, for an indefinite period
The Tribune-In Independent congratuates the Traffic
Safety Bureau upon this progressive idea well upon
the selection of such efficient and hghlyquaified
as Officers Barton and Muholand 1t is impossible to
estimate how many accidents averted and lives saved
on the streets Of Detroit through the efforts of such
scientious traffic officers these In addition to their
new assignment at the theatres, these two officers will
continue perform their customary work of patroling
in their sound-equpped car busy sections of Woodward
avenue and other throughfares in that vicinity directing

ton in honor Of Joe Louis victor,

We were driving from Ual

passed through the north end ol

we wondered what could have
been the result.
We at last arrived at Medbury

We met crowds OF the folks who
lived within our house. They were
marching shouting, driving and
footing automobile horns, while
newsb0ys were rnuuing selling
extras bearing the great face of

the front--'Louis Wins"
We stayed up late thinking it
over, and we have reached some
satisfying conclusions. OF course
We join with all in the verdict
that Lonis is great flghter--po
sibly the greatese Of them all
when we consider his rapid rise--
his clean life--his science--his sup
erhuman power of blow. but this
IS not the most important of the
lessons learned from his grea.
career.

WOE INTO SOCIETY

But to do this somebody had to
omen arms-somebody had to ac-

him n chance. He knocked at the
door of baseball socety, Executive
committees and officers ruled
against him He was not goCd
enough to play ball with them.
I wonder how many of these who
cried cruelty him had made one
slip up in life. Pitts record reveal

Judge Lands. who made the de-
cision in his favor said "There has
been a complete reformation in
pitts character this fact and the
fact tha barring him from baseball
would perhaps have a desroying
effect ON his entire career, provide
the reason for my action"
Wasn't this n grand decision?
Somctices mercy has been mixed
with justice to result in shame and
sorrow.
There is much talk now aDout
crimes being committed by men
who were given a second chance
In some cases the contention is
well justified. But what ust be the
attitude of society in such mat
ers?
What about those souls devoid
of criminal intent who have fallen

life? Are they worth saving? His.
