THE TIMELY REMARKS
Arizona Issue:
Working Wives
Phoenix, Ariz. — Rights of
women, even democracy itself, are
threatened if Arizona’s new law
prohibiting simultaneous employ-
ment of any husband and wife by
the state is allowed to stand, ac-
cording to the Arizona Federation
of Business and Professional
Women’s Clubs. The president,
Mrs. Alice Enders of Globe, is lead-
ing a movement for repeal.
The act applies to any depart-
ment, institution, or agency sup-
ported by state funds, and seems
to have had some effects beyond
the intent of the legislature. For
one thing, three women on the
University of Arizona faculty were
dropped because their husbands
are also employed there as in-
structors or research specialists.
Constitutionality of the act was
upheld by the superior court of
Pima County in a test case. It is
now before the state supreme court
on appeal.
“Such a ruling can be construed
as nothing but class legislation so
long as it discriminates against
women as a sex and because of
marital status,” asserts Mrs. En-
ders in a. letter to all member
clubs. “It is but an opening wedge,
and if allowed to grow will ultim-
mately result in all women, mar-
ried or single, being barred from
working in any agency of the
state or its political subdivisions.
If we would continue to be ‘women
in a democracy,’ it is up to us to
see that democracy does not fail.”

World Beer Consumption Gains
As Moderation Movement Grows
, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Nutt and
) Albert Nutt Jr., of the St. Charles
ranch have returned from a motor
trip to Monterrey, Mexico.
IXTORLD - WIDE consumption of
' * beer and ale, which has been
steadily increasing in the wake of
temperance education advocating
moderation and sobriety, reached a
new post-war peak with the produc-
tion of 196,000,000 barrels in the fis-
cal year 1938, according to prelimi-
nary figures collected by the League
of Nations, at Geneva, Switzerland.
The world increase of 2,000,000
hectolitres (1,700,000 barrels) over
1937 was due primarily to the esti-
mated increase of 3,000,000 hecto-
litres in Europe, where temperance
promotion and governmental advo-
cation of beverages of moderation
have gained wide headway in recent
years.
The United Kingdom, Germany,
Austria and Japan were among
the major countries producing more
beer during the fiscal year 1938 than
during the previous year. Other na-
tions reporting increases were Bul-
garia, Estonia, Greece, Hungary.
Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Nether-
lands, Poland, Sweden, Yugoslavia,
Egypt, Morocco, Tunis, Union of
South Africa, Guatemala, Mexico
and Peru.
The United States showed a slight
decrease in the amount of beer pro-
duced. More recently the figures
have turned upward again, indicat-
ing that beer production in this
country follows the general business
index.
Starting with the post-war period,
during which wide-spread move-
ments of temperance education were
developed in many sections of the
world, consumption of beer as a bev-
erage of moderation has been on the
increase. Even discounting the
amount attributable to the return of
legal beer in the United States, a
world-wide gain of approximately 14
per cent is reflected in a comparison
of the 123,000,000 barrels produced
in 1920 with the 196,000,000 barrels
produced last year.

Mrs. Dwight Reagan at the Heard

From raw materia! to finished product, banks
work closely with business. Loans enter into
every step right down to the final sale to the
ultimate consumer. In the words of Daniel
Webster: Credit is the vital air of modern
commerce. It is a powerful force, working
constantly for better business, better bargains
and better living for all.

sound business loans.

Having a surplus of birds and

of Chicago’s famed Brookfield

on several to be given away each
Sunday. Prizes the first Sunday

Mr. and Mrs. Wayman Williams
of Three Rivers were guests of old
friends in Tivoli this week. Mr.
Williams formerly had charge of
the old Barber-O’ Connor Meat
Market in past years.
Mrs. Harry Mills and sons of
Lamar were Tivoli visitoi's during
the past week.
Their many Tivoli friends regret
to lose Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Schla-
bach from our little town. This
« . . Luce the first sneeze
erf a hay-fever victim, it's
a sign of approaching
trouble. For it indicates
that your car has gone too
long without lubrication,
and you know, as well as
we do, that the life of any
kind of machinery is de-
pendent on its proper lu-
brication at regular inter-
vals. . . . Note that we've
underscored the word
"lubrication"; there's a
reason for that. It's to dif-
ferentiate the lubricating
needs of your automobile
from the old-time "grease
job" which survived the
axle-greasing days of the
horse-and-buggy era. ...
Nowadays, lubrication re-
quires experts using spe-
cialized lubricants devel-
oped by other experts to
do the job asked by the
automotive engineers—it's
a thing far different from
"greasing . . ." So heed
that squeak: take your car
to the nearest Humble sign
for verified Humble lubri-
cation—for an expert job
utilizing continually im«
proved Humble lubricants
as recommended by the
manufacturer of your car.
... Incidentally, this is a
good time to do that,
squeak or no squeak: we'll
bet you ve been driving a
lot tins summer.
