Dude Ranch Life
Is Both Realistic and

Cowhunds and Visitors
Live in Prehistoric and
Modernistic Setting

TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 8.--Maybe
its because winter travellers are
seeking new kind Of vacation or
perhaps it's because they have found
out that Tucson has a happy COM
bination Of climate and real fun.
Anyhow, sun followers are coming
to this Southern Arizona resort as
never before.
Forty ranches, ranging from the
old-time frontier cattle-ranch to the
modern ranch-house with sun
warmed patios, are hustling dudes
as we'll as cattle on the Tucson
desert. Hustling dudes means meet
ing them at the train in shiny
station wagons and introducing a
cowboy by his first name. Nobody
says Mister in Tucson. Everybody
has first name and uses it.
Pre- historic and ModerniStic.
The ride through the neat little
town of Tucson takes about 10
minutes-and there you are. This
is the desert one hears about It's

saguaro cactus doesn't make the
visitors feel prehistoric, nothing will
It's also a moderniStic world, the
painters say, with marvellous planes
of sun and shadow and rugged blocks
of color. The planes of sun and
shadow lie on the immense space of
desert. The rugged blocks of color
are the solid mountain walls that
circle the city. There are ranches
on the open desert: there are
ranches hidden in the cottonwoods
that grow by the riverbed: there
are ranches tucked in the foothills
Of the great, still ranges of rock.
There's no bluff about the Tucson
cowboys. They rope and ride
whether winter visitors are here
or not. And they ride in rodeos and
win prizes. They sing, too, in
regular cowboy voices which are
not grand opera voices, but nobody
cares. They know the desert trails
and when they're through with the
easternerS. the fasteners know them
too They like good food and they
sit down at the table with the dudes,
so the guests are bound to get good
food along with them. Pretty soon
the tourist discovers that he's
adopted the West and the West has
adopted him. Dudes wear western
clothes because it's fun and because
it's comfortable, but mostly be-
cause it's comfortable. The first
few days, visitors turn back the
brim of their 10-gallon hats to catch
every ray of golden sun. After
awhile, they turn the brim down
the way the cowboys do because the
sun is always there anyway.
Follow Ranch Life.
Entertainment on a dude ranch
consists largely of following the way
of the ranch. This means riding
and more riding, watching the cow
boys round up cattle, listening to the
cowboys tell about other round-ups,
riding to town to the movies or the
big hotels, and going to bed early
because the dudes want to 60 to
bed early.
Yesterday is mighty near Tucson.
It's easy to imagine an old-time
saloon. In fact, one can find one
by riding around. And Mexico is
right under your nose.
The sleepy manana boys are just
around the corner from the bank
and the postoffice. The same sun
baked adobe that built the guest
ranch built their houses. And
they have chickens and goats in
their back yards, too.
Nothing is lavish in Tucson ex-
cept the sunshine The rest is all
sleepy and casual and leisurely and
fun.

rutland West executed his swindle
by ruffing with the heart ten!
Before we see what actually hap
pened, let's note what would have
happened if West had ruffed with
a small trump. South would have
acted on the principle already de-
scribed. Assuming that East was
likely to be short in trumps, he
would win the first trump trick with
the ace. Easts failure to follow
suit would mark the flnesse through
West, and South would easily make
his contract.
But Vests ruff with the heart
ten made it appear that West had
either only the heart queen left
or no hearts at all. South, there
fore, thought it necessary to win
the first trump trick with dummy's
king. Then if West had only the
queen left, it would drop; and if
West had no more, f1nesse through
East would still be possible. Of
course, when the first trump trick
was won by dummys king, West
was assured of trump trick to
set the contract.

turbed in the event Hitler and his
allies conquer the rest of the
world. The old insistence of the
iSolationists that this is not our

sion. The idea that the country
has a vital stake in the outcome
has fastened IN the minds of the
people.
Having reached these con-
clusions, the American people are
not so blind as to believe for
long that others can fight their
battle-or should. Repeal of the
Neutrality Act will mean the
sending of American flagships
into waters that have been de-
clared war zones by the Nazis.
Conflict at sea seems inevitable.

U. S. Better Prepared Now.
One thing has kept the United
States out of the war: The de-
termination of Hitler not to have
any armed involvement with this
country-until he had success
fully disposed of the rest of the
world, along with his allies.
Hitler doubtless remembers
that the entry of the United
States into the conflict in 1917
sunk the German effort for domi-
nation in those days. The United
States is stronger in resources and
in men today than it was in 1917.
1t is better prepared for war
although still far from adequate
ly prepared. The Hitler idea,
however, has been to whittle
away, defeating and taking con-
troll of country after country, ex-
cept that he has always had Brit
ain against him-but a Britain
not in a position to invade Ger
man soil, or even to attempt it,
except by air. The British were
driven out of France and the
Low Countries early in the war
after the collapse of France.
The effort of this country has
been to aid Britain with material
supplies-tanks, planes, munitions
and supplies of all kinds 1t has
always been obvious that this aid
was materially handicapped by
the inability to send supplies in
American ships to the British and
their allies. Under the Neutral
ity Act, after the actual arms
embargo was lifted, there was at

Benefited Inland Region.
Through all the years, after the
American Revolution, your Govern
ment reiterated and maintained the
right of American ships to voyage
hither and yon without hindrance
from those who sought to keep them
off the seas or drive them off the
seas. AS nation we have realized
that our export trade and our i'm
port trade had a definitely good
effect on the life of families, not
only on our coasts but on the farms
and in the cities a hundred or a
thousand miles from salt water.
Since 1886, when the Congress
enacted the present Merchant Ma
rine Law. we have been rehabili-
tating merchant marine which had
fallen to low level. Today we are
continuing that program at ac-
celerated speed.
The shipworkers of America are
doing a great job. They have made
commendable record for efficiency
and speed. With every new ship
they are striking a telling blow at
the menace to our Nation and the
liberty of the free peoples of the
world. They struck IA such blows
today. They have caught the true
spirit with which all this Nation
must be imbued if Hitler and other
aegressors of his ilk are to be pre-
vented from crushing us.
To Sail the Seas.
We Americans as whole cannot
listen TO those few Americans who
preach the gospel of fear-who say
in effect that they are still in favor
of freedom of the seas, but who
would have the United States tie
up our vessels in our ports That
attitude is neither truthful nor
honest.
We propose that these ships sail

You buy a quart for the cocktails
and after paying the price of the
liquor you add 81 for Uncle Sam.
Then you 60 to a show which
costs you SO a seat. For four people
you throw in an additional $120 for
the Government. Then to the night
club, and when you pay the $40 bill
another dollar has to be thrown in
for the little man who isn't there.
That means you've paid $500 dur
ing the evening in hidden taxes.

you and the wife for half a week?
Somebody Has to Pay.
Suppose you're going out with
the boys for an evening, to bowl
or 60 to the amusement park, or
drop in at Joe's place.
Well, the bowling alley proprietor
has to pay the government tax
of $40 per alley. That means he
probably will charge the customers
more to make up the difference. At
the amusement park you'll have to
pay a penny for every scent side
show or any other amusement.
When you drop into Joe's you find
he has to pay Uncle Sam $50 year
Just to have a slot machine in the

In city after city we have seen
editors and publishers risk libel, in
timidation and even threats of per-
sonal violence as they tore the lid on
organized crime in their respective

Such exposures, the New York
County prosecutor said, gave cour-
age to respectable citizens who then
united and procured effective action.

His activities publicized the break
down in the administration of JUS
