HOLBROOK, Ariz., Jan. 81. CUP
Another of the southwest's most
historic landmarks was gone today
Eagle Nest Rock. 30-foot pinnacle
in petrified national forest col
lapsed and crashed to. the ground
under heavy buffeting by wind and
rain.
A top heavy formation. shaped
something like an ice cream cone,
Eagle Nest Rock had caused thou
sands of tourists to stand back and
wonder just how much longer the
delicately balanced pinnacle would
be able to stand.
1t was whitfield into its peculiar
shape by erosion of wind and rain,
and it was this same erosive pro-
cess that finally caused it to tOpple
by upsetting the balance.
The wind and rain and frost,
which were the sculptors of the
rock, finally removed one grain Of
sand too many" observed Thomas
Whitcraft, superintendent of the
forest.
The top of the rock once was
used as a nesting place by Eagles

of this fact" d.. Fox pointed out.
Among the important measures
citizens should keep in mind are
the elimination of the fly and mos
quito breeding places, the proper
maintenance of garbage cans and
the general cleanliness of the home
and premises.
Flies are among the greatest
enemies of mankind. Typhoid fever
and other gastro-intestinal dis
eases. tubercucs'" Hnd even small
pox are few of tn tic---~r which
may be transmitted by flies.
Above all things, efforts must
be made to prevent the breeding
of flies on the premises and like
wise efforts should be made to de-
stroy the breeding places of mos
quitos. Empty cans, bottles and
jars where rainwater may accum-
ulate E. bitches and low places
around the city which do not drain
off, may afford excellent mosquito
breeding places
In this connection, DR.. Fox urged
careful screening of windows and
porches to protect health
While there are no common rats
in Imperial county, efforts should
be made to eliminate harborages
for mice" he continued.
All food should be kept covered
and food remains disposed in q
sealed metal garbage can or con-
tainer. 1t is most important that
the metal lid for garbage can be
tight-fitting Where food PARTICLES
are not available mice are starved
out as we'll as reaches and other

Along with the general cleaning
of the house and yard, there should
be general program of cleanli-
ness. Fingerprints should be clean
ed off all doors and windows, if
possible interior walls should be
cleaned and painted. Plenty of

Report Indicates
Destroyer Trade

DETROIT. Jan. 81. tUP)-The
U. S. government anticipates trad
ing 20 navy destroyers for the new
British Battleship George V being
held in Canadian water the De-
troit free press said today it had
learned from highly reliable dip
lomatic circles"
The Washington correspondent
of the Free Press reported that his
information was denied by the
same United States naval authori-
ties who several months ago denied
that the United States was to trade
so destroyers to the British in re-
turn for naval and air bases on
British possessions in this hemis-
phere.'
The George V. most modern bat
tleshop afloat. brought Lord Hall
fax, new British ambassador to
the U. s., TO Washington last Fri
day and was met by President
Roosevelt in Chesapeake bay.
AT that time" the Free Press
correspondent said, naval authori-
ties here speculated as to why the
British should risk losing their
newest battleship to send a new
ambassador to this country.
1T was pointed out today, how
ever. that Britain has comparatively
little use for battleships which are
of little value in combating sub
marines. There are no comparable
Italian fleets in either the Atlantic
dreadnaughts of the German OF
or the Mediterranean"
The Free Press said naval authori-
ties considered the anticipated swar
about even because destroyers car
be built much faster than battle
ships.
1t was estimated that it would
cost about s8O000,OOO TO build {
ship like the George V, while U. S
destroyers in the past 10 year.
have cost about s5.OO00O0.
The British need all destroyer.
they can obtain for convoyine
merchant ships, the Free Press said
The newspaper also said British
warships were being transferred
from Britain to Canada, pointing
out that the Canadian navy has
increased several hundred per cent
since the start of the war. The
ships, however. are not suitable
to submarine warfare. the Free
Press said.

 Easter hair-do's for little girls like spring cultures for grown-ups are designed to look as well with hats as without. The smart chdld, whose mama Is determined that her offspring will be as attractive on the way to school as she is In school with her hat of, takes her new hat along to the barber of beauty shop and lets the operator see 1t on the head before he cuts the hair.
 Experts agree that hair and coif- fure problems are as vital to ten year-old as to her mother. No child is happy in Q hair.do that isn't one hundred per cent comfortable or In one which doesn't please her when she looks at herself in the mirror.
 MT. Paul of Charles of the Ritz, authority on cultures for children and originator of the idea of Q hair salon for children and sub-debs only, has designed number of new coiffurey to 60 under pert Easter bonnets. He likes short hair for girls from nine to thirteen. But he be- neves in letting the thirteen to sixteen-year- colds have long glamor bobs, which they seem to dote on at the moment.
 BANGS ARE SPONSORED
 To wear with bonnets that sit on the back of the head, one smart ,'teen-age coiffure Is parted in the middle to expose the clean, youthful lines of the brow. Top sections are left flat an dsmooth, with soft, wide waves starting just above the ears and extending downward to ends all the way around. Side sections are fluffed out slightly.
 For upturned, of -the-face, severe ly tailored hats, there's 8 hadr-do with side part and casually brushed out ends. Deep rolls over the temples hug the head.
 Bangs-both straight and smooth and waved and fluffy-are sponsor ed for youngsters as well as grown ups. If the childs face Is thin, the bangs often are curved in a crescent shape on the forehead, giving width at the sides by exposing the temples. For round, full faces, ringlets may be placed high above the forehead, with all of the brow exposed. An up-swept look at the sides is thoughtfully worked out. Naturally. it's important that every little girl realize. at an early age. that only hair which Is cleaning with health and cleanliness lends if<egf with good results to the hair. dresser's artistic touch. As soon as she is old enough to manage a brlish, she ought to brush her hair at least three times a week-with upward and outward strokes which stimulate the scalp and clean and polish the hair.
