N GRATH BRINGS
THOMAS BACK

Policeman John J. McGrath returned
early yesterday morning from Globe
with Robert Thomas, alleged burglar
of several Phoenix homes and business
houses. The Phoenix officer went over
by auto but returned by train, the
condition of the roads making ii uncer
tain whether the return trip could be
made in anything like schedule time
Thomas was lodged in the county jail
and will probably be called upon to face
a number of charges.
1t was through the untiring efforts
of Policeman McGrath that Thomas
was apprehended after he had disap-
peared from Phoenix. He was the only
officer in Phoenix who personally
knew Thomas and it was through the
introduction McGrath received TO
Thomas that caused the latter to be-
iieve that his usefulness" as a burglar
in Phoenix was at an end. In being
introduced to Thomas, who was occu-
pying quarters at local roOmine
house. McGrath was represented to
Thomas as a detective and as having
formerly lived in Colorado, the state
from which Thomas said he came to
Arizona. Close acquaintance with a
detective was too much for Thomas
and he disappeared without taking his
effects with him. McGrath was called
back to the rooming house when the
goods were discovered and promptly
identified the plumber as part of that
figuring in recent robberies in this city
He had a good description of the
man and besides knew he would be able
to identify him if he saw him. Finally
Thomas was located in Globe and the
police of that cit. took him in charge
pending the arrival of an officer from
Phoenix. McGrath was deputized tC
go after Thomas because of mis- ability
TO identify him.
There is a general belief among the
officers that Thomas not only operated
here, but that he was connected with
the blowing of a safe in the postoffice
at Christmas, AriZ., a few days ago. a
job which netted the robbers between
$500 and $500. Among the places
Thomas is supposed to have robbed
here were the residences of Postmaster
Selim Nicholson, City Commissioner
Charles H. Dunlap, B. H, Hueneryagel
and others.

building, at the corner of jefferson ana
South Central avenue, marking the re-
sumption of the construction of impor-
tant business blocks in this city The
beginning of work on Inns structure
will depend on the completion of the
remodeling of the Commercial Hotel. T..
E Stewart will be the contractor on
the new job, as he is on the old.
Most of the new Luhrs block will be
occupied by Macarthur Brothers, motor
car and utilities dealers. 1t cannot be
foretold when the building will be
ready.
The basement will be one of the
largest in the city, and will be used for
number of things by Macarthur
brothers, including storage of cars and
parts. The first and second floors will
e largely devoted to the display rooms
for the various lines of motor vehicles

THRIFT DAY AND
HIGH LIVING COST
Bv G. " Cter,ent

The big idea back of a national
Thrift Day is to focus the thought of
one hundred million people upon prac-
teal ways and means OF not only adj
Justment to the high cost of living but
action
1t is to start something. We are all
creatures of natural tendencies, and
these usually result in habits We es-
tablish the habit of spending an aver
age amount of money for certain things
and when that source of supply is
changed or some other factor enters
into the supply that causes the cost of
production to increase, it does not nee
essarilv follow that our wages increase.
With the constantly increased cost of
living. we are confronted with the ne
cessity for an adjustment Every in
diyiduars adjustment is necessarily
different.
Thrift Day is a dav to reduce waste,
thereby increasing efficiency.
Actually taking a step in the direc-
ton of thrift has been described as a
combination of mental and physical ac-
tion-both are essential to the accomp-
lishment
Putting true thrift action into effect
on Thrift Day is not only represented
by placing an added deposit to that
nest-egg being built IN in the savings
account to take care of the future, but
can be practiced in a thousand differ
ent ways. depending upon the envir-
onment and habits of the individual
