STATE EFEDERATION OF LABOR URGES
THE USE OF BOULDER DAM POWER

Phoenix, Sept. 29.-Boulder Dam
power is becoming a widely dis
cussed subject. The Arizona State
Federation of labor at it's conven-
tion held in Phoenix last week
unanimously passed a resolution
urging the bringing in of electric
energy from Boulder Dam.
Those who spoke in favor of the
measure argued that the building
of the necessary transmission liEes
would not only provide employment
but would also reduce the cost of
the domestic use of electricity lii
the homes throughout the State.
The Gila Bend Producers and Co
operatives Association last week
determined to ask other similar or
ganization to join with it in petit
tioning the coming session of the
Legislature to create State au-
thority for bringing electric energy
from Boulder Dam.
The cheapening of the price Of
electricity in the Imperial and San
Joaquin Valleys of California
brought about by the low-cost cleo
trio energy produced at Boulder
Dam has increased the price of
farm lands there, according to
statements of observing Phoenix
citizens who have made recent
business trips to those localities.
And fruit and vegetable canning
industries and manufacturing in
those valleys have been stimulated
to the financial advantage of farlu-
ers there.
The farmers of Salt River Valley
about Phoenix are now discussing
this phase of the Boulder Dam
power situation. They want the
next session of the Legislature to
pass State power authority act.
There is a growing feeling among
them that they must have electric
power at price equalling the price
in the California valley if they
are to compete with those valleys
in raising and canning the same
products.

October 4 to 10
Fire Prevention
Week In America

During Fire Prevention Week,
which is to be observed from Oc-
tober 4 to 10 this year, every ef.
fort will be made to instruct the
public ir the elimination of fire
hazards. Newspapers and periodi-
Gals will publicze the Week. In
surance organizations Will give
every effort to making the Week a
success. Fire prevention organiza-
tions will send speakers about the
country. Fire marshals and fire de-
partments will cooperate.
But all of this work, no matter
how aggressive and well planned,
will fail unless the public does its
part to cooperate and save itself
from fires.
Fire prevention, like accident pre-
vention, is largely an individual
matter. 1t is impossible to do away
with the multiple hazards found in
the average home unless the owner
takes an interest, and it is impos-
sible to eliminate industrial fire
hazards unless factory manage
ments help to the extent of inspect
ing their factories and enlisting the
interest and aid of workmen.
During the Week, every person in
this country should give an hour
or two to learning the simple les
sons that, if remembered and follow
ed. will prevent most fires. 1t will
cost nothing-and it may pay tre-
mendous dividends in life and prop
perty. Some of the worst fires start
from hazards that could be correct
ed in five minutes.

Although this fortress of science
can resist any weather, it is not
proof against the mysterious cosmic
rays. These unexplained bullets Of
light, from an unknown source, will
register themselves on delicate
instruments left inside the build
ing. Scientists are studying them
eagerly, because if they can be
harnessed, they will provide the
world with an unlimited supply of
cheap power.
Copper Roofs Spreading
Because of the demand from
other parts of the country, the
local compay is establishing deal
ers everywhere. The roofs are now
to be found in fifteen states. Thus
Phoenix business is creating an
ever-increasing market for Ari-
Zona's leading product.

Clarke 10 Meet
Myer Jacobson
In Big Match
BY SID KATZNELL

Washington and Baltimore
duckpin fans will witness one of
the most colorful head-to-head
matches staged in these historic
cities in a decade when Myer
jacobson, ace maple smasher Of
the Monumental City, clashes with
AStor Clarke, Capitals foremost
duckpinner, in a 20-game contest.
The exact date for the match has
not yet been decided, but George
Isemann, secretary of the National
Duckpin Bowling Congress, ex-
poets to see it run off the latter
part of this month.
The present plans are to shoot
the first 10 games here and the
final in the Oriole City. Total
pins will decide the issue.
Ever since the Baltimore bowler
beat Clarke for the high average
title in the Southern Intercity
League last year his supporters
have held the opinion that Jake"
can take Clarke in a special 20
game match.
It will be remembered last
spring that the final battle be-
tween these skilled pin busters
was paramount issue to the final
weeks rolling in the intercity cir
cult. Jacobson emerged the cham
pion with a mark of 1918, a new
Central-South Atlantic record.
But staticians argued that Clarke's
average of 1911 was just as i'm
presSive since he had rolled in. IS
games against so for the Monu-
mental City ace.
Partly through the medium of
this brilliant shooting Clarke was
acclaimed the No. l duckpinner of
the United States. Jacobson I'm
doubtedly would have figured
strongly in the selection but he
denied himself a high ranking
among the country's stars by
failing to compete in the national
championships at Hartford. The
year before the National Duck
Pin Bowling Congress ranked him
fifth.
When notified last night that
Jacobson was cunning for his
scalp, Clarke readily agreed to the
match but insisted that sizeable
purse be posted.

Stee|e's Hands
Under X-Ray

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 22.-An
X-ray of Freddie Steele's right
hand was to be taken today to de-
tern1ine whether he fractured any
bones in his hard seeking mitt
during last nights bloody 10
round bout with Alan Matthew'S.
sensational Negro middleweight
from St. Louis.
The middleweight king won the
decision in the toughest battle Of
his career.
Steele broke two gloves. He
burst a new glove in the eighth
and another which replaced it
also was split in the tenth, when
he injured his right hand.
This gives some idea just how
hard Steele was seeking. He
also was stopping some terrific
punches. In the sixth round.
Steele floored the Negro for an 8
count but couldn't score a knock
out.
Matthews came back fighting
hard and made a terrific finish.
Both fighters stood toe-to-toe and
landed repeated hard rights and
lefts to the face and stomach.
Both were bleeding freely from
their noses and mouths when the
bell ended the tenth round. Their
bodies were covered with blood.
1t was a non-title overweight
bout. Steele weighed in at 1872,

He is the far more amiable and

SIS, and don't be surprised II
you find me reaching for that

A quick squirt at Rays record
bears out his statement. Consid-
cred an "old man" a decade ago,
Ray has seen many a star rise to
the heights and sink again. while
he has remained one Of Baltl-
more'S leading performers.
He has bowled in all nine Ma

Last year his GROWING achieve

His 1885 Splurge was capturing
the Maryland State all-eventS, and
in 1884 he started the season by
placing fourth in the Dixie and
then capturing second money in
the equally as tough Eastern
Sweepstakes.
Twice winner of the Baltimore
