Phoenix was little more than n mining camp then and a post offiec for sheep and cuttle men. The early settlers were looking for gold and cop per, found sonic of the former but .more of the latter. The heat was tcriffic in those days. t,Kj;s could lie moil a crisp brown on Camel back. The dry heal that was considered such a drawback then is what brought the tourists in the win ter and still brings them. The old timer remarked that if he had staked out building lots in the foothills instead of min ing claims, he would be rich now instead of dead broke. Kemarkud upon the rubber development ncur Salinas south of San Francisco. The old timer laughed at the idea. Said that, 20 years ago the same ex periment was tried out near Tucson, and as far as producing n high quality of rubber from the desert plant guayule, was concerned, it was successful. Hut. the cost of production per pound proved too high for suc cess commercially. After the collapse of the Tucson experi ment, it was suggested the guayule plantation be continu ed but. combined with chicken culture, the chickens to be fed on rubber, and encouraged to lay golf balls. Quite a witty old cock,, the ohb tinier.- Hi! said he was sorry for people who invested in the Salinas rubber venture. (California.' Development Iuc,).. . ..

That would lie interesting news to William Jennings Bryan. The crime wave goes merrily on. Last night three more grocery stores were, held up just before closing time (Saturday night). Should think the grocers associa tion would pay for the evening services of a few policemen. The old timer maintains the police are no good, hut are hooked up with tho criminals and get a rake off. What tho country needs, ho says, Ib a revival of the old time vigil antes, who shot first and got the evidence after. (Jhcss there is something to that suggestion, too. Thore Is a good air field hero with a cement runway. The maii planes make regular stops between Ios Angeles and El Paso. Yester day a Iriend of ours flew to Tucsou lo see her son who is in a board ing school there. The round-trip was only $15, took only an hour and 20 minutes, whereas the train tukca seven hours. One can fly to Los Angeles in three or four hours, the truing take ten or twelve. We saw Hie Tucson planu come in, a huge three-motor Kok kcr, with seven passengers, accom modations for IS, and leave with ten passengers for Los Angeles. Air travel seems to he brisk. George Hunt has been governor of Arizona for six or seven terms and is siiii holding down tho job. He is a portly gentleman and not tn bo confused with a former Med ford movie magnate for he places a W. P. between Ills first nnd last names. Today (iovernor Itolph of California is due. coming over from Calcxico in his private plane. Molph was once a permanent Mayor of S. F. as Hunt is permanent (Iovernor of Arizona. Governor Hunt Is said to be very autocratic, and the machine boss of the state, who bulls his way thru all oi positlon. Don't know about that. Hut he must have Homo finesse, for ho announced tho other day ho wus going to Hpend the week ond lln lAgua Callcnto for a greatly needed KKST! And ho returned from IiIh pastoral retreat, so con ducive to sleep nnd tho simple life, ny motoring most of tho night. A public man who can put n thing Iiko that over must hu something mnio titan a bitll-ilnzcr. Only twelve people wero invited to tho govornor's luncheon ut the Adams holel. your correspondent not being included. A newspaper friend hero who intended said tho governor fell asleep In his chair alter the second course. Nothing Btirpiistng about that. At rest cures like Agtttt Callente one lets down and gets the sleeping habit. It takes several dayB lo recover Irom II. It. W. It. Is ready to leave the rails and finish Its journey 011 the highway. If our railroads used such vo hlhles, motor trucks and busses could not successfully compete with railroads between largo cities as they do now. And the value of the railroads' rights of wuy would be tit least double. Tho stock markets woko up happy In New York and Ixindon yesterday. Heavy Block buying in tho New York market indicated two things first, that tunny be lieve a pertnanent advaneo has started; second, ninny nro willing to "try, try again." Whether this 4s the time (o buy stocks that have dropped below forty, and will evenliiully go above one hundred, remains to he Neon. There is no doubt that when the next hoom does start it will hu full of energy, and soon cause specu lators lo forget how recently they said, "never itgalu." Tho Interstate l.'ommorcu dun mission moves In a mynturlous way to regulate the raiiroutls. When Henry Kurd wus operat ing his riiilroud, sineo sold, he uiinlcd to reduce freight rules. The commission wouldn't let him. Now the Louisville ntid Nashville riiil roud usks permission to reduce passenger rntes nnd tho Interstate t'oiiunorro C'ouitnlssioii suys: "No, you mustn't do thai," In our queer country you have the government on the one hum! wuving the decrepit old tihcrmitn net, forbidding' comblnnttotiB to re duce wuste and produco profit. On the other hand, you have the Interstate Commerce Coin mission forbidding a railroad to compete us it pleases and give tho public cheaper service.

"Walk with erect carriage. "Sit erect at study. "Wash blockings every day." Who is the medical or health authority for U r rules? Am 1 wrong in think ing some ot theye Instructions ridiculous?

This is the reason, f think, why such textbook.' are packed wit h Just such nonsensi cal stuff as the unsophisticated teacher q miles.

Of course It is as harmless as sleep ing oh your left side, but again, isn't there a vague notion that such cleanliness Is somehow "mil itary, and Isn't anything that! purports to be "sanitary" likely lo be healthful? If the btity doesn't reason that way, what's the use of tho mill. i. tin and mil lions nf the laity's easy money that the big businens people spend annually in building up health appeal?

TOO TFREI TO iEAT My Alice Jttdsout Poalc. Lack of appetite in children is often n highly-complicated diffi culty whichi cannot be remedied without thorough-going changes in the child's whole manner of life. Sometimes, however, the. poor appetite Is duo simply to the fact that the child is too tired to ent. The fatigue which takes away the chilc'st appetite may be-due to any one of ar number of causes insufficient sleep, too-violent play, excitement. Any one or all of these, may be the sole cause of appetite. With a very young child, the act of eating In itself requires real ef fort. If he Is tired, he would often rather go without food than both er to eat It. A three- ear-old who had shown marked Jack of appetite was found to be getting only ten hours of sleep nt night nnd none during the day. His schedule was revised to give him approximately 13 hours sleep out of every 24, and his ap petite became normnl. Sometimes, altho the child. Is getting a full quota of sleep, ho plays so Intensely that he comes to table nervously excited and physi cally exhausted. Such a child should be urged lo lio down for fifteen or twenty minutes before each meal. It this cannot be accomplished without a struggle, letting him look nt picture books or play quietly with blocks or puzzles mny rest him sufficiently so that he comes to table with good appetite. Children whose days are check ered with violent emotional spasms or anger, who are frequently frus trated, nagged and punished, may be so exhausted by these things that Iheyeannnt eat. Kmotionat upheavals So directly affect body functions, as every nduit knows from his own experience, that they frequently Induce loss of appetite. KELLY MARRIES TIM'C I ii M-:V YOHK, Keli.
