It is trite to say that a strict policy oi trading at home means keeping money in circulation within the state instead of sending it elsewhere. It has been said over and over again and is so obvious that it should need no annual campaign to impress it on the buyers' minds. But that is not the only phase of the proolem that must be considered.

The "biggest asset of the campaign is that it has made the merchant realize the necessity of offering just as good or better merchandise than his out-of-the-state competitor and at more reasonable prices. It is a matter purely of reciprocity between the man with money to spend and the man with something to sell. The buyer would prefer to trade at home, but first must be convinced that there is where he will get most for his money. The merchant does realize this, and for this reason, the campaign, has been" a success in other years and will be this year. In Tucson, particularly, a large proportion of the' buying public is from the larger cities of the east.

They know good merchandise and demand it. The merchants supply it. i'ut because so many of these easterners are newcomers, they probably do not realize it at once. Tucson is a small city and they take for granted what is not so, that small town means "hick town." So if. the Trade-at-home movement has a mission, it is not so much to improve the type of merchandise, but to arouse the merchant to proving to hjs customers that he offers them as good bargains, as can be found anywhere in the world.

But a boom is inevitable throughout the state, at Yuma. Douglas, Bisbee, Phoenix, Prescott, Flagstaff, Tucson, everywhere." i The Coconino Sun printed the following in its news columns: 'General' Grant. Doney Park rancher, accused by his wife Seating her up, as related in the un last week, plead guilty and Judge Jones gave him a year, then suspended sentence, being Influenced by Uie defendant's age and general good character." SIDEWALKS Every so often we receive statistics on the number of persons In jured in traffic accidents.

These figures would not be so great if people would make more use of what is exclusively for their bene' fit the sidewalks. Says the Arizona Gazette: "Pedestrians have exclusive use of sidewalks, points out the National Safety Council which urges that motorists be given the use of the streets except when it is necessary for people to walk across them. Too many people wait in the street for trolley cars Instead of on the sidewalk. Some of them "have learned this is a dangerous practice for instead of getting a trolley ride they have been taken away in an ambulance. Folks waiting for trolleys should remain on the sidewalks Until there is just time to signal the car, then look to the left before stepping into the street.

Don't stand too close to the tracks If you insist on waiting In the street to vamp the motorman! And, keep' out of the way when a trolley is rounding a curve."

But nice old Ben just said, "Ts-ts-es-ts! How time flies! Is it really time for me to get my ears barbered, and my coat brushed up and the mud cleared off my shoes? I'm "all ready then.

Come on friends." "Sit right down, sir!" said Mister Rubadub, motioning to his big barber chair, when they arrived. So Mister Bunny sat down, and Mister Rubadub covered him with a big white cover, and then he reached for the shaving-soap to lather Mister Bunny's ears and nose and all around his whiskers. But instead of getting the shaving powder, he grabbed the can of green dye. and shook it all over the I shaving brush. He was talking so hard (most barbers do, you know, even fairy (barbers) that he never noticed what ihe was doing, and before anyone could stop him, he had dyed Mister I Bunny's ears and whiskers green.

They worked all afternoon, Nancy 'and Nick and Mister' Rubadub and the March Hare did, trying to get that dye off. But come off it didn't, and if you see a rabbit with bright green ears and a green mustache anywhere this spring or summer, you'll know just who it is and exactly how it hap pened. (To Be Pontinued) Worst Storu si Insettesrm Today By Will Rogers The Worst Joke I heard today was told to me by Charley Smith, Of Colorado Springs, Colo. Charley is just about the most remarkable man I have run onto In all my prowling around the United States this past year. He is totally blind.

He sits there at hlu wire and takes In everything that is happening all over the world. When 1 first saw him it was in the Gazette Telegraph A. P. room in the dark, writing away like lightning on the typewriter. It was the strangest feeling, seeing a nian sitting in a.

dark room at night banging on a typewriter. Of course there, was nothing remarkable about it to a blind but there is something remarkable about Charley. I wanted some local news to spring on the renegade millionaires that form a covey around that wonderful resort. I dropped up there to see what the newspaper boys 'knew about who was robbing the town Everybody as one voice says, "See Charley Smith; he knows everything in town, as well us out." So we went In and dug out Charley, the blind fellow that knew more about Colorado' Springs than anybody that had eyes, including the Santa Claus of Colorado-Springs, "Specs" Penrose, who has four eyes. Charley says, ir it wasn't for me watching the crooks, in this town they would carry of, Pike's Peak." happy, competent.

Anonymoua letters will be thrown away unread. Communications should not be over 300 words In length. A Psrent-Teachers 'Association SHOULD a local Parent-Teaclierg Association spend a lot of tlne and energy In raising money for school equipment for buildings, hot lunches, playgrounds, etc? Or should Parent-Teachers Asso. clatlons give their major effort to understanding what the schools are doing ard what education is really for and how the child goes about it to get an education? While I wish to commend In every way the effective work which Parent-Teachers Associations have done in the way of supplementing inadequate school appropriations, I do feel that Just as long as they do things which the school board ought to do they will have to keep on doing them. It seems to me that their Job Is to emphasize the necessity of an educated paimthnod to organize Into mothers' study circles In which they will constitute all-, the-year-round-parents.

Isn't it pretty largely a waste of time to have the Parent-Teachers Association meetings begin -a halt hour later, to have the first hour taken up with the reading of a lot of papers and then to end up with a theoretical paper on some highbrow proposition thRt touches the life of no one In the audience? I should like to see the Parent-Teachers Association take up real life problems oT the sort that parents meet every day. Let me give you a few samples: Should high school dances close before 12 o'clock or even before It o'clock? Should school entertainments ever be given on any nUrtit except Friday night or Saturday night? Should any one, not a pupil, be allowed to attend a so-called "school dance?" Should secret so. cleties be barred from high schools? How can parents know whether their child is ahead or behind his or her grade? How much responsibility for moral training rests with the home? How can your child be shown how to use the public 11-brary? If all parents keep all their girls at home every school night how many boys would be lkely to be out in the street? At the present writing 167 Parent-Teachers Associations are using these daily articles as a basis of practical discussion of live topics concerning children, parents and school.

Two years ago they played together magnificently, just as two children should play together, but now we mothers are constantly worried.

Other parents who have a similar problem are. invited to ask for my leaflet on "Adolescence," It explains many things you should know. Sorry, But I Cannot Do you think It would be all right for a girl 17 years of age to attend the Junior Prom at our siate university? The boy Is a Junior and mother and dad both like him.

Ho Is clean cut and not one of those soft, mushy kind. Mother and dad don't know just iwhat to say about this matter. Neither favors it so we are going to leave it to you. The boy says he will make arrangements so I can stay at the fraternity housq. I am used to traveling alone and there would be no difficulty about that, but mother cannot understand that staying at a fraternity house Is perfectly proper.

Mother says It would be all right for me to go Jf I know some one in whose home I could stay and dad said he thought some older girl ought to be along. Ever since I have gone to school I have had very good grades. Do you not think that ought to influence my parents a bit?

This information will not be released until about nine months from now and when it comes out it is going ta startle some folks.

THAT'S HOW THE CHI1P FOUND OUT WHAT A FAILURE THE MOTHER WAS PERIOD Today, Wednesday, March 17, is the dy that every Irishman will proudly display a shamrock on his lapel. We all know they are wearing shamrocks in honor of Ireland's patron saint, St. Patrick but why shamrock? Here's the story which has long been told and has long-been accepted as true: When St.

Patrick -preached Christianity to the pagan Irish he had difficulty in making them grasp the doctrine of the Trinity three persons in one God. Then he was inspired to show them a piece of shamrock, or trefoil, with its three leaves on one stalk. That simple illustration from nature availed, and from that time the beginning of the fifth century the shamrock became something to be worn in honor of St. Patrick. It has taken its place with other national emblems.

St. Patrick himself, although the apostle of the Irish, was not an Irishman. Some would claim him as a Scotsman, but it seems established that he was of Welsh parentage. 1 1 is original name was Succath, and, in accordance with custom, when he was consecrated as a he was given a new name that of Patricius. Named thus, he went to Ireland and converted the Irish to Christianity.

The shamrock soon gathered to itself a reputation for magic and as a remedy in disease. Eaten in the manner of watercress it was said to allay all fevers; picked when found near a wayside and Vorn next to the heart, it warded off evil spirits. If placed in a child's cradle, the little one would be exempt from the ills that trouble young. had but to pick on the (leaves the name of the young man whose love they sought, pray to St. Patrick, and bury the shamrock beneath a rosemary bush and all would be well.

111 luck was destined to befall an enemy if a sprig of shamrock, pierced with his name a thorn had to be used for the piercing and placed in his path, was trodden on by him. It once was the custom for all boy babies born in Ireland on St. Patrick's day to be named after the saint and trained for the priesthood. BY DAVID DIETZ MT. WILSON, March 16.

EvollHinn is e-iiintr on in Thl heavens as well as bn earth. "Whole universes are being evolved at a time. This is the view put forward by Dr. Edwin Hubble of the Mt. Wil son Observatory, one of the world's leading astronomers.

Hubble-bases his view upon a study of the spiral nebulae. There are a nil-lion of these scattered in space outside our own universe or galaxy of stars Within a range tit about eighty million light years. That is, the outermost are so dis-twt that it takes their light that long to reach us. Dr. Hubble sprang into in Dr.

Hubble ternational notice when he showed that the nearest of. these spirals could be; resolved Into stars and that therefore these spirals were really other universes like our own scattered in space. Classifying Nebulae But Dr. Hubble has found that not all the spirals which are close enough to be resolved into individual starr can be so resolved. He, finds further that the nebulae can be arranged into classes according to their form.

He is convinced therefore that some of these spirals represent universes like our own while others represent universes in the making. In other words, that in the study of the spiral nebulae we can see evolution going on in the heavens, whole universes being evolved at one "Some of the spiral nebulae are systems like the universe of stars In which our own sun and earth are situated," Dr. Hubble told me. "Others apparently are much simpler and represent universes in smpler stages. "My study shows that they can be arranged in a progressive sequence of related forms.

First we find nebulae which are globular in structure and show no structural form. The light, however, is strong est at the center.

Editor, Arizona Daily Star. Dear Sir: Bread cast upon the waters sometimes returns after not so many days, hence, your editorials concerning the city sewage disposal cannot be in vain as has been the feeble voice of a certain invalid pleading milk through former Issues of this column, and the unheeded protesting queries of mothers whose "babies and small children must have milk. Why the clean wide expanse surrounding this city cannot produce wholesome raw milk as do other cities of Arizona has doubtless been to many more of a mystery tnan the most tediously devised crossword puzzle: and at a stroke you have solved it for us! "Now let the voice of the people be heard in the land," and' declare that their children shail not again suffer from inadequate sanitation.

Rut still it wouldn't budge, so Mister Rubadub said, "I'll just put drop or two of green dye on It, 'sir.

The emergency foreign policy conference, as their meeting a- called, said in their statement: "The present policy of the Mexican government is to subject' all property rights in -Mexico, including especially those to natural resources, to the full control of Mexican law. This is no greater right than the United States claims and over the same and other property rights within the territorial limits of the United "In contrast is the law of certain states of the United States that not Only prohibits ownership of land by foreigners, but also discriminates between" nationals 1 of different "As is always the case when Mexican epicstions are under consideration, an effort has been made to distort the President Calles has said. "The people of the United Slates are asked to believe that a simple (juestfon of obedience, to and respect for the fundamental law of our country involves a campaign of persecution which would necessarily be repnn-gent-and almost inexplicable in a country like the United States." Now it is very important in connection with these stories of ''religious persecution" in Mexico to remember this one thing: that certain large American -oil interests hold rich fields in Mexico and that their profits are apt to be seriousiy cut into by the enforcement of quite another section of the Mexican constitution dealing with alien owners of land.

This section is very similar to an anti-alien land law in the United States. The people of the United States would never grow very indignant against the Mexicans over a question of oil lands. They might grow indignant indignant enough for intervention, even if they were persuaded that Mexico is persecuting their missionaries. Ami there you have it. Somewhere, it would seem, an attempt is being made to raise a smoke screen behind which certain financial interests tan gain their ends.
