Gu of-state motor vehicle travel
n a zona for the first nine months
Of th present year is up 4.81 per
cent IS compared to 1899, accord
ing t a recent travel study made
by the Arizona Highway Planning
Surv of the Arizona Highway
Depa rtment.
A otal of 374,s52 foreign cars
yisite Arizona the first eight
mont of 1889 as compared to
S57,1 that visited the state dur
ing te same period of 1889. On
the sis of the following trend in
moto travel, officials of the Ari-
iona Highway Planning Survey
estin te that the total number of
out-o state motor vehicles to visit
Arizcfa this year will be 588,7S9.
The ptal in 1898 was 1,735.
In determining the value of such
motor vehicle travel to the state,
the ] aiming Survey estimates in
Gicats that in 1899 each out-of-
state 7ehicle carried an average of
three passengers, that each pas
senger on the average spent ap-
proxi nately $4.00 per day for
sustelance, gas and oil, and that
each passenger stayed an average
of for days within the state.
On that conservative basis, the
estim ted tourist expenditure in
Arizona during the first eig h t
mont of this year is $17,S08,OO
as compared to S16,990, 900 for a
simil; period last year.
Using the same estimates, motor
vehic travel business in Arizona
for Is g will be s2S,OO9,0o0 as COM
pared to 26,772,O00 for 1888.
The increase in foreign auto
mobiles visiting Arizona in 1899
over 1898, according to Planning
Survev officials, has occurred since
the { st of June During the first
five months of 1889 the tourist
traffi was slightly less than 1t
was lor the same period in 1888.
TIL, principal increase in tour
isu tr ffic since June has occurred
in tt northern part OF Arizona,
primo. pally on U. S. Highway &C.
Whicl traverses this area from the
Califo mia state line to the New
Mexico state line. Other trans
state routes and intra-state routes
show little difference from last
year md in some cases a definite
! deere Sc has been noted in tourist
travel.
In releasing these travel figures
for tt first eight month period OF
this ar, Planning Survev officials
point out that they do not include
our-ot state travel traversing the
north yest corner of Arizona on U
S. Highway 81.
II is also believed that travel in
Southern Arizona, Arizona's winter
sunsL ne region, will show g
defini increase of out-of-state
visito this winer, ard travel
figure on southern Arizona high
ways are expected to reflect this
!, increase during the fall and winter
months.

A Fathers Plea
"PIease Don't Hurt My Little Girl

Dear Driver;
Today my daughter who is seven
years old, started to school as
usual. She wore dark blue dress
with a white collar She had on
black shoes and wore blue gloves.
Her cocker-spaniel, whose name is
"Scoot," sat on the front porch
and whined his canine belief in
the folly of education as she wav-
ed goodbye" and started off to
the halls of learning.
Tonight we talked about school.
She told me about the girl who
sits in front of her-the girl with
yellow curls-and the boy across
the aisle who makes funny faces.
She told me about her teacher,
who has eyes in the back of her
head-and about the trees in the
school yard-and about the big
girl who doesn't believe in Santa
Claus. We talked about a lot of
gs-tremendously vital, unim-
portant things; then we studied
spelling, reading and arithmetic
and then to bed.
She's back there now-back in
the nursery-sound asleep, with
princess Elizabeth CHATS a doll)
cuddled in her right arm. You guys
wouldn't hurt her, would you ?
You see, I'm her daddy When her
doll is broken or her finger cut
or her head gets bumped, l can
fix it-but when she starts to
school, when she walks across the
street, then she's in your hands.
She's a nice kid. She can run
like a deer and darts about like a
chipmunk. She likes to ride horses
and swim and hike with. me or
Sunday afternoons. But 1 can't be
with her all the time-I have tc
work to pay for her clothes and
her education. So please help me
| look out for her. Please drive
carefully, please drive slowly past
the schools and intersections
please remember, that children rur
| behind parked cars.
Please don't hurt my little girl

The above "Plea" came to thi!
office this week from a father whC
is appealing to you drivers o
cars) to heed traffic laws, ant
drive carefully, through school
zones, and when you see children
on the highway, remember tina
children place their trust in you
and feel confident that vol
wouldn't hurt them. So its up t
you drivers of cars) to guard ant
cherish these young lives by do
ing your religious duty in follow

vic amt ANNhAa
A survey completed by the
American Institute of Public Opin-
ion just before the presidents
speeches found that an overwhelm-
ing majority of voters-nearly nine
in every ten-prefer TO see relief
given in the form of work rather
than as hand-out of cash to those
who are idle.
Although it is widely recognized
that the dole may be a cheaper
form of relief, and although the
WPA has been criticized for its
handling of funds, the public's pref
erence for work relief apparently
represents a deep-rooted convic-
ton, for Institute surveys have
found that its attitude has re-

In explaining their attitude, vot-

second is that working for the

BUSINESS ATTITUDE

In both questions the same num-
Der of persons tl6ee) said they
were undecided or without opin-
ions. But the majority attitude
of the country in the dispute be-
tween business and the New Deal
seems to be: "A plague on both
your houses" The public is calling,
in effect, for concessions and ZAP
peasement' from both groups.
Although the questions divide
Americans along party lines to
some extent. it is significant that
81 per cent of the Republicans
with opinions say business has not
been friendly enough and large
percentage Of Democrats $3.50
say the New Deal has been too
harsh. The actual party vote is:

DESIRE FOR

These facts are indicated in a

What Kreisler has added to or
subtracted from the concerto does
not contribute to its value and he
has in no way equalled his arrange
ment Of the Paganini concerto. The
major change lies in the shortening
of the tutti and the extension Of the
cadenza to nearly twice its length.
Other points are Of minor i'm
portance except, perhaps, from the
performers angle. The effect may
be different If heard with orchestra,
for Carl Lamson at the piano made

to the accomplishment. From an
