WINDOW BOX
AIR COOLERS

TUCSON. May 13-A limited free
distribution is being made here by
the University of Arizona depart
ment of mechanical engineering of
a preliminary report ON window box
air coolers.
The report, prepared after several
months of experimental work by
Professors M. L. and Pau Thorn
burg, gives complete directions for
designing, building, and operating
the window box coolers under Ari-
zona conditions. Size and type of
fan; size, thickness, and material
for the pad; and size of the box
necessary for houses of various
sizes are discussed. The method to
determine whether or not the cool
er is working efficiently also is
reviewed with other factors.
Among common errors made in
the use OF the window box cooler
are listed the placing Of coolers in
the sun; eaSing them without
suitable exit for warm air, and the
attempt to cool too many rooms
with a small cooler.

Army Banishes
Typhoid Feuer
On All Fronts

SAN FRANCISCO, May 13-(UP)
The army has typhoid fever
whipped, according to the annual
report of the surgeon general of the
army made public at the Presidio
here.
During the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1887, only one case of ty-
phoid developed in the army and
that was in the Philippines. Not a
single case has been contracted by
an American soldier on native soil
in the past two years, the report
reveals. Formerly, it was one of
the big problems of the army.
At present the leading causes for
admission to army hospitals are,
first, accidents sustained during
athletic exercises, and then such
common ailments as bronchitis,
influenza and tonSilitiS.
Just as the navy Is finding mo-
tor vehicles the most deadly enemy
of the sailor, the army is finding.
that the automobile is one of its
principal causes OF death.
During the past fiscal year, out
of total of 664 deaths in the
army, half we're due to injuries
and of these 105 were suffered in z
accidents.

Earl C. Slipher, and state SEN
ator James E. Babbitt, speaking
for the Flagstaff delegation, stress
ed the fact that all of Arizona, as
well as the entire inter-mountain
area, would share the benefits of
the new road.
The highway commission was
requested to designate and take
into the state system, the portion
of the road north from Phoenix
to the forest boundary and to ap-
prove the road within the reserve.
Commercial traffic between Ari-
zona and southern Utah will par
ticularly benefit from, the con-
struction of the new road. 1t is ex-
pected that last years half million
dollar business between the two
sections, would be tripled when the
ROAD is open.
Officials of The International
Highway group predict immediate
action by the. federal government,
providing the Arizona Highway
body grants the delegations re-
quest
The International Highway, which
will be open for traffic this spring,
provides the most scenic tourist
route in all the west. Extending
from Canada to Mexico, the road
travels through ten national parks,
