Pennington's credit that he has
worked earnestly for this appro-

been aided, we are assured, by the
efforts of Senator Salisbury, and
this being the fact there ought to
be no question about its passing

it had been for a number of years
and all streets are kept in much
better condition than previous
years, through the operation of the
public works department under the
supervision of George M. Brannan,
and the public safety department
under the supervision of Chief of
Police Oliver White.
During the past year the fire de-
partment has been reorganized and
reequipped and today under the di-
rection of Volunteer Fire Chief
Louis Escalada and Captain Clyde
Baldwin it is the most efficient and
best equipped department in the
history of the city.
Much credit for the vast improve
ment in the cityS standing, fl
nancial and otherwise, is due to
the untiring efforts of the very ef-
ficient city clerk ond treasurer,
Tracy Bird, whose duties are quite
similar to those Of a city manager,
and who has labored many hours
both day and night the past year,
supervising the big job of getting
all departments once again func-
tioning smoothly and on business
like basis.

They will cost about $50 each, to
be paid for out of their earnings.
They will remain in operation six
months, after which time the city
will decide whether they are to
become permanent.
cat the next meeting of the Tue
son city council, Averill said, he
will propose that the city install
500 penny meters at a cost of $780,
900. He maintained that the cost
would be repaid from proceeds
within eight months, and that the
meters would give the city a profit
of about $4,000 year.
Police Equipment
"Averill's firm, the Federal Labo-
ratories, Inc, is a police equipment
concern handling such items as
tear gas, listening devices and SUBJ
machine guns.
'Its parking meters - called the
Federal Redball Penny Multiple
parking meter uses a red signal
ball instead the usual clock
device.
I'm Nogales, the meter will be
set to allow II minutes parking or
one penny. "a minutes or two pen
nies, and so on up to an hour for
five pennies. The machine will
take up to five pennies at time.
Minutes Grace
"The meter allows an additional
five minutes of grace for each sale.
The red ball signal stays out Of
light for the full period allowed,
then takes five minutes to rise up
into view, when the parking time is
up.
"It is equipped, like other meters,
with foolproof devices including
sealed coin boxes, pickproof locks
and sales recorders.
The Nogales meters, Averill said,
will bear directions both in Eng
1iSh and Spanish.
"Averiil declared he expects Bis
bee to make a decision on install
ing meters Monday night. He added
that Tucson councilmen have ask
ed him to demonstrate the penny
meter at a future meeting.

Bookkeeper AT
Bank Lodged
In Jail

Charged with forgery, Willard
Cook, 24year-old bookkeeper of the
First National Bank, was bound
over to the superior court Thurs
day by Justice Of The Peace
Charles E. Hardy. Bond was fixed
at $4,000. Trial date has not been
set.
Cook was lodged in the county
Jail Wednesday after his arrest by
Chief Of Police Oliver White and
after he had confessed to misap-
propriating bank funds of approx
mately $4,000. Complaint against
the youth was filed by bank Of
ficials.
In his confession Cook told of
transferring accounts from the
local bank to banks in Tucson and
Bisbee through checks and later
drawing on them. The youth made
outside deposits under the ficti-
tious name of 'L. H. Landel."
The youth recently paid cash
for new $1100 automobile, a $3.50
second hand car, and $3.50 worth
of furniture. He was married on
Cinco de Mayo day, May 8.
InaNmuch as Cook was bonded,
the bank loses nothing by the
young mans misappropriation of
funds.
Cook has resided here for about
II years, began working at the
bank as messenger about two
years ago and was promoted TO
bookkeeper ten Or eleven months
ago. In hia confession he is said

camping out in the summer
The late President Harper of
the University of Chicago was
married at nineteen. He told me
that during the first five or six
years there were tines when
neither he nor his wifc could mail
a letter. because they did not have
enough cash to buy one postage
stamp He laughed aloud as he
recounted this. and added. There
was never one moment when either
of us regretted our marriage
Marriage can be wonderful
from every point Of view says
DR.. Phelps. when it is a CON-
bination of the highest physical
delight with the highest spiritual
development
DR.. Phelps gives several rules
for keeping marriages happy. The
first is this: After you are married
never leave the house. even if only
to post letter at the corner. with
out kissing you. wife. Second.
during the first twenty years of
marriage. occupy the same bed
room and never go to sleep with
resentment in your hearts. The
third. since The greatest of all the
arts is the ,rt of living together.
and since the highest and most
permanent happiness depends on
it. and since the way to practice
this art successfully lies through
character. the all-important ques'
ton is how TO obtain character,
and the surest way is through re-
igion-religion in the home.
According to Professor Phelp S
article in Good Housekeeping. re-
ligion IS the Foundation upon
which character is built. He gives
a list of seven recent and classical
books in which is guide to re-
ligious education-particularly in
| it's relation to married life.
Nogales international., 1938-06-04

magazine. Every man who is
happily married is successful
man even if he las failed in every
thing else And every man whose
marriage is a failure is not a sue
cessful man oven il be has sue
ceeded in everything else
But successful marriages. ac-
cording to DR.. Phelps. are made
and not born. Fror childhood
boys and girls find out how chill
dren come. but the secret of a
good character. temperament. and
disposition IS not so readily found.
The reason Why character is
tie most important requisite for
success in marriage is not merely
that it happens to be the chief
cause OF happiness. but that those
who have character can turn an
unsuccessful marriage into a sue
cessful one. instead of taking the
easy way out. and acknowledging
failure. No man or no woman is
TO blame for making a foolish
marriage; it might happen TO any
one The test of character is not
whether one has or | as not made
a foolish marriage; the test comes
after the foolish marriage has been
made. What a triumph then tC
turn that failure into a success
as the statesman turns minority
into a majority"
II am in favor OF early mar.
riages" says the Professor II am
delighted when either the boy
parents or those of the girl have
money enough so that the young
pair can be married at twenty-five
before they begin professional
study or work And when there is
little money but either or both
have job. then by all means they
should be married When young
people marry. they take difficulties
of housekeeping and privations as
a lark. even as young people dc
