RADIANT LIVING
From Starlight to Sunlight
By Rev. C.. nj. Griffeth

Ridgely, Md.
It was in thoe horse and buggy
days when we were living ten miles
back from a railroad. A long jour-
ney lay ahead of me, and to get to
the station necessitated an early two
mile walk over the mountain road to
catch the old horse-drawn stage that
left early to meet the daily train.
AS / stepped out into the darkness
of that early morning was greeted
by dazzling array Of brilliant stars.
In the light of those stars I began
my journey. But when I reached the
crest where the road led over the
ridge, saw before me in the distance
the first pale gray of dawn.
I stopped for a moment and looked
back to the now paling stars and then
forward toward the coming light. "A
new day!" I shouted in my thoughts,
"what will it mean to thousands of
people!"
Then as 1 FASTENED down into the
valley, the dawn gradually brighten
ed. It was no longer dark. I could
see the distant hills. Then later, as
we bumped down the grade in that
rattly old stage, the sun came up,
flooding tie mountain roadway with a
mellow radiance.
So it is with the soul!
In the surrounding darkness of pa
gan infidelity there shines forth above

PROBABILITIES
OF PROHIBITION
SHOULD REVIVE

What would happen if the profess
sional drys have their way and we go
back to the days of the noble expert
ment?
Every practical man knows what
would happen. Every bootlegger
would be back doing business at the
old stand just as fast as his bath tub
would turn out batch of gin.
The vile speak-easy would again
appear and the purveyors of moon
shine, white mule and many other
poisonous connections would soon be
operating overtime.
Human nature enjoys doing the
things we should not do. The aver
age man or woman enjoys sneaking
up an alley and buying a drink when
that drink is outside the law.
That's one side. But here is the
other:-
We now have legal beer. And when
we put all ducks in row we must
admit that the country is better off
under the present system than it was
under the days of the dry experiment.
But to go further:-T Today we tax
the brewers, the tavern keepers and
what not. We have a grand set OF
laws in the State of Maryland under
which these folks operate. All these
things are very fine. When one reads
the laws of the State of Maryland COW
ering the manufacture and sale of
beer, and when one studies the income
figures and sees that the State of
Maryland gets far over million dol
lars a year from the brewing indus
try, at first blush one says, "This is
great-this is as it should be-"
But things are not as they ought to
be. The great majority of tavern
keepers are honest, law-abiding citi-
zens who want to operate decently and
properly.
But there are always the few who
are not law-abiding at heart. The
same condition prevails in all lines
of business.
1t is these few who are no credit to
the brewing industry and the rational
consumption of beer. Right here is
the seat and root of all trouble. Get
rid of this unruly minority, which is
no credit to the community and the
legitimate brewers, and the prob
lem is solved.
But whose business is it to get rid
of those taverns which have no right
to exist? Obviously, that is the job
of the authorities. We collect huge
sums from the brewers in taxes. We
want to see this money continue to
pour into the State Treasury. But
at the same time we want to be
credit to the safe and to the COM
munity. We have an obligation, as
taxpayers, not only to the state and
community, but also to the indus
tries we tax.
There is only one solution to this
problem:- Unqualified enforcement
and plenty of it.
If conditions are not what they
should be is it not time for the gen.
.eral public to see to it that, out of the
great sum collected from these taxes,
at least reasonable sum be spent
for the protection of these tax-pay-
ing industries, the fair-minded citl-
zens engaged in these industries, and
the great mass of men and women
who want a good state and slean
community in which to live?
The Times is happy to say that a
prominent brewer of Baltimore has
already begun a crusade in this line
to clean up all Objectionable features
relating to defying the law in the
slightest degree. 1t would be well for
all brewers who can see beyond the
end of their noses to follow this lead

the North, area correctly applied. If
those people who make up the tre-
mendous amount of traffic across
Northern Arizona during the sum-
mer months could be converted from
tourists" to visitors" the tourist
dollar in that section would grow
much bigger.
In all fairness, it may be easier
for our heavily populated centers in
Southern Arizona to raise money
for bringing in tourists than it is
for our smaller northern commun-
tiles. But, in view Cf the magnificent
return for a small investment. how
can the northern section afford not
to advertise it's wares? We all know
Northern Arizona has just as much
in climate, scenic beauty and his
torical tradition as has Southern
Arizona. Therefore, it should be
plain to every sound thinking busi-
nessman or taxpayer in this state
that We as state need national

ing equal emphasis on all sections
Of the state during their respective
tourist seasons, and subsidized by

Increase In
Tax On Mines
Is Sought

PHOENIX. May 10-(UP) - The
Maricopa county board of super
visors was on record today with a
resolution demanding that the state
tax commission increase the taxable
valuation of Arizona mines
Despite the fact that the produce
value Of mines has maintained a
high level, the resolution said. their
valuation for tax purposes has de-
creased from $3.50 900 900 in 1920 to
500, 900, 900 in 1899.
The supervisors urged that the
mines be assessed to the point
where they will "bear their proper
share of the state tax burden.
The resolution claimed the bur-
den Of state taxation has been
steadily shifting" from producing
mines to other industries and enter
prises which were seriously depress-
ed during the last few years.

TAKE it from Leslie Ford
murder is downright unin-

The fascinating part about it is
what leads up to it and follows
afterward, says this well-known
author of countless mystery stories,
in the May issue of Good House
keeping Magazine. To her, the .psy--
chology of the crime, the emotional
state of a human being, and the
dark LABYRINTH of guilt that such
a person must tread later are the
only really interesting aspects OF a
murder.
Ordinary people, men and women
you dine and play bridge with,
rather than maniacs are the fas-
cinating murderers, according to
Miss Ford, because you can under
stand them. They represent,
powerful, compelling impulse that
lies dormant in all of us.

A Little
Safety Talk
(By J. w. STROBE of
Arizona Highway Dept.)

A study of the records OF auto
mobile accidents and traffic vio''.
tions in the Motor Vehicle Division
Of the State Highway Department
reveals that there are large num-
ber of repeaters in Arizona. Polico
and sheriffs' officers, the highw"'
patrol, and justice and superic'
courts of the state are required b.
law to report to the Motor Vehicle
Division all accidents and violatio'o'
Of the traffic regulations where con-
victions follow.
There are some drivers who are
habituals. They constitute con-
slant menace to careful drivers on
the highways and streets. They are
a continuing threat to public safety.
In the interest of public safety
these habituals are going to be ruled
off the roads. Driving an auto on
the public highways is a privilege
regulated by the state, not a right.
BY their conduct, these repeaters
have forfeited their privilege They
are public nuisance.
The law makes revocation of
drivers licenses mandatory in Ger
tain grave offenseS, such as drunk
driving.
Then there is the power of dis
cretionary revocation or suspension
vested in the Motor Vehicle Divi-
sion. This applies to repeaters for
less serious traffic violations.

Origin Of June Marriage
Custom Still q Mystery

TOR the past two thousand
l. years, June has been the tradi-
tional month for marriages.
In an effort to discover the rea-
son for this preference, Gretta
Palmer, Good Housekeeping
writer, roamed the reference libra
ries for a story on it. The results
appear in the May issue of the mag
azine. She could find no basic rea-
son for the choice but she did find
other interesting customs. For
instance:
"The habit of pelting departing
couples with old shoes also has a
venerable history. The Anglo
Saxons had a pretty custom by
which the father of the bride trans
ferred custody of her person to the
groom by handing him one of her
Shoes as a token. In order that she
should take notice of the exchange,
it was customary to rap her smart
ly on the side of the head with
the shoe. This is no longer done.

Of 81 MERIT badges Most boys
graduate as Eagle Scouts when they
become young men, some in high
schools, but records show that a
larger per cent of them are getting
Eagle scout badges in college.
The highest rank in scout prog
ress is the Eagle. Almost invariably
Fagle scouts help their socutmaster
conduct the troop, as senior patrol
leader, partol leaders, or as junior
and assistant scoutmasters.
The Eagle candidate is urged to
try to help in similar fashions in
church, home, and school activities
A real Eagle Scout is valued high
ly in the recent war an Eagle Scout
had been denied admittance to the
aviation service for lack of college
education. When he told them he
was an Eagle Scout he was accepted
and on his papers they counted it
equivalent Of two years college. OF
course, colleges do not so recognize
it, but it shows what the govern
ment thought of scout training.

BOY SCOUT NEWS
(By E. r. AVILES)
WHAT is A BOY SCOUT?

WHAT is A BOY SCOUT?
First a boy in order to be register
ed as Boy Scout in any council
must be at least II years old.
But no boy can be a scout just
because he happens to be old
enough There are also things he
must know and be.
Most important among these are:
The scout oath, and the scout law
First he must know them, then he
must do them, for that is the way
people know he is scout.
Upon demonstrating to the salts
faction of the scoutmaster his abil-
ity to repeat the scout oath and law
in full and his thorough knowledge
of their meaning, and upon meet
ing all the tenderfoot requirements,
the boy formally subscribes to the
oath and law and is registered as a
tenderfoot scout, and is then en-
titled to wear the tenderfoot badge
and the official uniform of the Boy
Scouts Of America.
Next step is second class scout,
he there is taught to- live up to scout
oath and law, and to be prepared
to help other people at all times.
First aid, cooking, and others in
cluding how to make himself COM
Portable on hikes in all kinds of
weather.
Again as first class scout he
must show evidence of living to
scout oath and law, to be prepared
to help those in need at all times,
by this time he has learned to be
more independent and now he is
ready for senior scouting through
merritt badges which each are a
separate test in itself.

It's Easy Money for Someone
Keep Your Eye on Philco For The
Greatest American Value

At only $119.95 PHILCO has just an
nounced and we are showing the Mod
el LUG that actually has all of the
features of most $13495 refrigera-
tors, besides features that most of the
$149.50, $199.50 and $25OOO refriger-
ators don't have.
Regardless of which model PHILCO
you buy you get more for your money
and the lowest operating cost to be
had at any price.
We Recommend The Philco Refriger-
ator Where Electric Rates Are High
In Patagonia, where rates are consid-
cradle higher than in Nogales, every
person buying a refrigerator should
make Philco FIRST CHOICE.
In Nogales, where rates are lower,
you should consider PHILCO FIRST
CHOICE for economy in your own
home. We don't think that everyone
should buy them, because the local
power company would have to raise
the rates if all refrigerators on the
line were PHILCO'S. They don't use
enough electrical energy for the pow
er company to declare a dividend at
the present rates.
