Girl Who Didn't Want
To Dive Now Holds
Two u. S. Titles

Helen Crelenkovich, 1S-year-old
San Francisco girl, didn't want to
be a diver, but now she holds
two national championships.
When Helen moved West from
New York she had ideas about
developing into a championship
swimmer. After padding about in
San Francisco playground pool
she was recommended as a swim
mer to the Fairmount Hotel team.
But she didn't come close to max
ing the grade.
Coach Phil (Pat) Patterson, how
ever. thought the determined
young girl might have possibilities
as a diver. He had the right hunch,
for Helen won the Northern Cali
fornia three-meter title and Ma
tional junior championship in
1896.
Under Patterson tutelage the
California girl continued to de-
velop, and came on to win the
1899 Senior Women's A. A. u.
three-meter indoor title from 16-
year-old Marjorie Gestring Of Los
Angeles earlier this year.
Yesterday Helen reached another
goal by again defeating Miss
Gestring, 1886 Olympic champion.
This time 1t was the three-meter
outdoor championship that Helen
grabbed from Marjorie.
In the feature event Of the Wom-
ems National A. A. u. meet Helen
scored 1859 points to her rivals
1887. Marjorie had held the title
for three years.
Mary NJ. Ryan. 14year-oid
Louisville, KY. girl and Esther
Williams, Los Angeles A. c. rep
resentative, were the other win
ners. The Kentucky lass. who'll
be a sophomore in high school next
year, won the mile freestyle in
24.12.s, and Miss Williams finish
ed first in the 100-meter freestyle
in 1.0e Miss Ryan defeated second
place Nancy Merki. 13-year-old

One Penny at Stake
In High Court Suit

A suit to recover one cent has
been filed today with the Supreme
Court.
C. Leon de Aryan, of East San
Diego, California, contended he
had been improperly charged a one
cent sales tax on a 15-cent pur-
chase of cardboard from Roy o.
Akers, a retailer. The high tribunal
was asked to review a decision by
the California Supreme Court sus-
tanning the collection.
1t was urgued that the state
sales tax was per cent while a
tax of one cent on a 15-cent pur-
chase was at the rate of 6.67 per
cent. This was termed excessive
and illegal. Christaain Science

Odd Fellows Defeat
Rotarians

The Odd Fellows defeated the
Rotarians last Friday night in their
second encounter of the season
The score was 19 to Is. David
Davis pitched for the Odd Fellows,
and Mel Harris did the catching
until he received two injured
fingers when he had to be re-
lieved by Veasey. Dalton Cole
pitched for the Rotarians and
Jimmy Jayne and Charlie Cohen
did the catching. A large crowd
was out to witness the game and
now that they have each won one
apiece it looks like the next game
will be sell out. The ireful
Rotarians claim that if the Odd
Fellows beat them next time they
will have to engage half of the
Coolidge Boosters to play for them
for they really mean business.
There were plenty baseball thrills
registered and one shoe-string
catch made by Attorney Phil
Claridge playing for the Rotarians
will never be duplicated in any
league.

understands English and will be
an asset to the governing body in
the opinion of Fort Hall admins

Questions and
Answers Pertaining
To Schools

This information service on
education is brought to you by
special arrangement with Teachers
College, Columbia University, New
York City.
QUESTION: To what extent do
the school buildings of this
country provide adequate protec-
ton against fire dangers? How can
schools protect themselves against
fire dangers?
REPLY: The problem of fire
hazards in schools is still serious
one. Although great progress has
been made in the last three de-
cades in building fire-resistive
schools and eliminating fire
hazards, school building surveys
show that great number of school
buildings still exist which are of
rapid-burning construction, or OF
construction somewhat less than
that which provides safety against
fire dangers. Moreover the iron
fire-escapes usually placed on these
buildings for protection of the
pupils have been found to assure
practically no element of safety.
DR.. N. L. Engelhardt of Teachers
College, Columbia University, says
on this point: without doubt
there will be many school fires in
the next decade in which children's
lives will be lost. When children
are required by law to go to
school, the community should be
required by law to provide safe
schools. Communities desiring this
protection should make surveys
upon which a program of fire-pro-
lection may be based; they should
know the percentage of school,
children housed in non-fire-reslstive
constructions; they should be
aware of the character of local
school housekeeping. Clean, we'll

Kenyon Harris Re-
turns from Trip East

Kenyon Harris, returned from
six weeks trip back to his home
town New York City. He was ac-
companied on the trip by his
mother and Sunny" Nandell. He
had a delightful trip in every way
and enjoyed seeing many friends
that he had not seen for the past
ten years. His uncle came up from
Florida to join a family reunion
in New York. In spite of wonder
full time he still prefers the
lesiurely life we lead in Arizona
in comparison to that Of New
Yorker. Kenyon was elected presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce
during his absence so perhaps he
will be as busy as New Yorker
when he gets back in the swing
of things.

Animals Use Cacti
AS Drinking Places

FLORENCE, July 81 - Barrel
and saguaro cacti are favor1te
drinking fountains for Arizona's
small wild life during times OF
drought, says J. L. Tucker Of the
Winkelman-Ba -Barkerville range.
According to Mr.. Tucker, who
has spent much of hissleisure time
studying their habits, rabbits,
ground squirrels, field mice, desert
rats and other rodents find food
and drink in the cacti. When
waterholes on cattle ranges dry up,
small wild creatures nibble holes
in the bottoms of cactus plants,
making pockets into which the sap
slowly collects. The animals re-
turn to these again and again

ARIZONA IN
WASHINGTON
BY BOB MERKLEY.

The Hatch biz, "to prevent
pernicious political activities" may
be great piece of legislation. Who
is there with principles so low he
does not abhor dirty politics? Who
does not sense feeling of disgust
when he hears of destitute people
on relief being coerced into shar-
ing their pittance with conniving
politicians? And who does not
classify such politicians with that
welIknown four-word expression
alluding to member of the
canine family? The Hatch bill is
supposed to take care of that sort
of politics and politicians.
But whether the bill Is good or
bad. it was forced down the throat
of Congress as deliberately as a
farmer drenches a sick horse. The
stage was set by corrupt activities
exposed in Kentucky last year.
Workers on Government projects
were forced to support certain
candidates. They we're not only
told how to vote; they were forced
to kick-in for the campaign fund.
You can still smell the stink 1t
brought to Capitol Hill.
Then came the Hatch bill. Pos
siblv it is what we need. II may
deter few odoross politicians who
would intimidate the destitute, but
1t reads like it had come from the
pen of Edgar A. Guest.
And what made Congress gulp
it down? The same thing that
makes people swallow pink pills
and patent potions. The Hatch bill
had a fancy label. 1t was handed
to Congress with the title: ito
prevent pernicious political activi-
ties" And its hackers said in ef-
feet: "Vote for this bill or we
shall tell your folks back home
that you are not above taking food
from babies and leaving the aged
to shiver in the wintry wind
Now l do not say the Hatch bill
is not good bill. But l do say
that its goodness is not what put it
over. The antilynching bill which
took up so much time in last
years session was crammed to
the edges with political pernicious-
ness. Yet all that kept it from be-
coming a law was a filibuster in
the State. No right-thinking per-
son approves of lynching. So the
lawmaker who voted against the
anti-lynching bill took chances with
his reputation for right thinking.
You see, we take our laws much as
we take our pills. If they are the
right color on the outside, we
swallow them with little thought
of what might have gone into
their making.

Good at the Roots

At this passage in world history
when man-made evil so often seems
to outweigh man-made good, man
has reason to feel ashamed of him
self. But all is not darkness: the
things of this century have been
far from being entirely bad.
Despite great blunders and
cruelties, despite the emergence of
a new jungle culture, despite the
rising rule of tooth and claw, the
lights Of civilization are not out.
In the good things he Is still do
ing. man can take pride. And this
pride is wholesome, for while 1t
lasts genius will still work in
laboratories, fine spirits will still
teach and inspire, people will
still go on trying to dream of bet
ter world and build realities on
the stuff of their dreams.
1t would be fatal for man to let
the evils around him destroy his
proper appreciation Of himself, his
proper self-respect. OF late, the
worlds shortcomings have been
getting all the publicity, but the
worlds bright side deserves
publicity too. We have been be-
rating ourselves perhaps too much;
we have been speaking a language
of pessimism too long; we have
brought upon ourselves a mass
moodiness that amounts almost to
mass sense of despair.
Now is a time for man to renew
his faith in himself. The forces OF
evil can triumph in the end only
if we talk ourselves into believing
that we are no longer able to hold
them down. Man, after all, Is like
a tree with good roots. II some Of
the leaves are withered, II some
Of the fruit is bad, that does not
mean that the trees end is near.
For all his sickness, man in the
goth Century has good roots. and
he can keep on growing and I'M
proving, and his century can grow
and improve with him. Actually,
no matter how black some things
may appear, this age need never
be known as the Dark Age II man
holds fast to his aspirations In
stead of succumbing to sense OF
insufficiency, a sense of futility,
loss of proper self-respect.
At the World of Tomorrow in
New York, on the walls of the
Hall of Man, there are inscribed
these lines:
Man
Wonders over the restless sea,
The flowing water,
The sight of the sky,
And forgets that of all wonders
Man himself
Is the most wonderful.
The words were written IN the
Fifth Century by the great st.
Augustine. T h ey apply with
singular aptness to the heavyheart
ed, self-discouraging language we
are speaking today. They express
a truth that needs emphasis in
this hour of mankind's self-dis-
trust, this hour of almost fashion
able mass Observation-Disclosures.

. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Peter In Sarnaria
Text: Acts s.il.s5

Peter and John Money that he might secure from them this won- der.working power. But Peter was stirred to righteous wrath-"Thy silver perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money"
 But Peters admonition was not all expressed in righteous wrath. He appealed to simon to repent of his wickedness, and simon either did repent or was moved by fear be- cause of what he had done, for he asked Peter to pray for him that no punishment should come upon him.
 We miss almost entirely the point and teaching of this lesson if we read 1t simply as the story of some- thing that happened in the past, or if we have in mind as we read only a deep.dyed rascal like Simon, or at least an ignorant and deluded man. Tho danger is not that any of Us shall degrade the offices of religion in SO fragrant Q way, but VIC may nevertheless in some de. gree tend toward the same sin in assuming that the great things of truth and religion can stand upon anything but their own power and merit. There are many ways in which men may use, and do use, re- ligion as a cloak for their own gain or their own advantage; and anyone who does that shares in some de- gree the sin of simon--no matter whether he be a minister in . pull. pit, an official In Q church, or a layman In pew. Religion must De pure in motive and spirit, or 1t is not worthy to be called Christian.
