How to Avoid Robbery

About once week, and frequently there is intervening case, some is held up in out of the way place in this city and robbed large sum of money. The plunder is hardly less than $100 Last Sunday night levied upon for $500 We seldom hear of robbery in which the bandits make water haul
 Either the victims exaggerate the amounts of their losses the robbers have some occult way of sizing up only men who encountered with great wealth parade in out of the way streets and alleys at seemly hours. We cannot figure how the robbers know; perhaps by noticing decided list ,f the victim toward the side on which he carries his money.
 We know there is great deal of money in this community. There never such general distri- button of cash The higher of living the money we have to combat it. But there is need of carrying money about all hours of the day and night. The banks open for five hours every day.
 One may come unexpectedly into possession of sum of money after banking but there pre- cautions he can take against yielding it up to high waymen. One is not flash it in poolrooms and other places where young potential footpads abound and the other is not stray the beaten path which is fairly well guarded by policemen.

BRANCH LIBRARY
 STARTING WELL

Business at the new First avenue branch of the Phoenix Public library started off yesterday morning with what almost amounted to a rush. While the branch was open but four hours. from 9 o'clock in the morning until 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Al books were taken out, + new cards issued and. application for quite as many more received. It was the initial day of the latest branch and, although the public generally had not been made aware of the plan until announcement was made in The Republican yester- day morning. the patronage was all that had been anticipated, perhaps a little more.
 Miss Esther Boone, the librarian in charge of the branch, last evening ex- pressed herself as more than pleased with the interest taken at the outset She is confident that as the public be- comes more cognizant that such a well equipped branch is located right at the edge of the business section there will be a steady increase in patronage.
 The new branch is locatd on the sec ond floor of the public schools admin istration building 331 North First avenue It is in the heart of the ave- nue residence district and is also with in easy reach of the shopping district. Persons entitled to draw books from the main library are also privileged to take additional books from the branch. In fact they may hold and use cards from the main library, the Rest Room branch and the First avenue branch, all at the same time.

The prouth in Los Angeles

The saloons in Los Angeles will be closed on Saturday night March 30 under the Gander ordinance which goes into effect Monday, April 1. But Los Angeles will perish of thirst for the framers of the ordinance gracously tempered the wind to the lamb that about to be shorn. There will be something more than one hundred places where one can get a drink and as many of them he carry, provided they do not contain than 14 per alcohol. It has been the experience of those who have tried it. that one can acquire very satisfactory stew" with that lean mixture The citizen and the stranger within the gates light themselves up at licensed cafes ale beer and all kinds of wines except sweet wines which rather nauseating anyhow One can carry away from wholesale any quantity of not less than one-ffth of gallon.

HOLBR0OK MAN
 VISITS PHOENIX

D. J. Thomas cashier of the Mer- chants and Stock Growers bank of Holbrook, was in Phoenix yesterday to attend a meeting of the executive coun- cil of the Arizona Bankers association which was held in the rooms of the National Bank of Arizona. The exec utive council selected Nogales as the place of meeting of the annual conven- tion of the association which is held on the Friday and Saturday preceding the annual state fair. Last year the state bankers met at Tucson.
 That the cattle in the Holbrook dis trict weathered the winter in the best of condition, was the assertion of Mir. Thomas who will spend two or three days in the capital city. Work on the Lyman dam project in the Holbrook vicinity is at a standstill at present, declared MT. Thomas, awaiting the ap- praisement of the 15,000 acres of land under the project by the state apprais- CTS preparatory to the advancement of the state loan already awarded.

OUR GOOD OLD COW
 REALLY AN ALIEN
Columbus Dispateh)

There were no cows in this country when the white man first came here. Not even in South America, where there are now great herds of wild cat tie, was there anything answering the cows description until the Spaniards took them there.
 The first cattle brought to this part of the country accompanied the James, town settlers. Columbus brought over a few with him on his second voyage, but that was far south of here.
 One of the most interesting things in connection with the cows makeup is the fact that she "chews a cud," as the boys say. It is part of her digestive apparatus, and served useful purpose in the earlier days, when the cattle were wild animals-and she can't get along without the cud at this time, of course, because that is the way she is built
 The natural food of the wild cattle was grass, and nothing else. It takes lot Of grass to, support as large an anlmai as COW, and while gathering the grass she is exposed to her ene- mies-out ill the open. So Nature ar- range it so she could sneak out and gather stomach full of grass hurried ly and return to the protection of the forest and lie down and chew fla thing she didn't have time to do while gathering the grass.
 The cows stomach is a peculiar sort of receptacle, full of little cavities. or cups. When she pulls off a big mouth ful of grass and swallows it. it forms itself into one of the cups. Then. when she has filled her stomach with grass and is ready to begin chewing. these wads of grass arise in the throat or are regurgitated as the learned neo' pie call it, and the COW. deliberately chews it and swallows it and another cud arises Just think of the pleasure boy could have if he could gulp down whole lot of food and then leisurely chew it while studying his lessbns.

Something not down on the bill took place at the Elks theater last night when Ray Brandon, of Brandon Broth CTS, from the front of the house. an- nounced that the company, not being willing to go on there would be no show. He refunded the money paid by patrons for their tickets.
 While not down on the bill trouble was anticipated after a lively little argument late Sunday night or early Monday morning, between Messrs Brandon and Jacobs in which it is said that MT. Jacobs started to establish a reputation as white hope, which start was rudely checked by MT. Brandon. At any rate, a proposition was made the members of the company, already a week back on their salaries, that without Mir. Jacobs at the helm the local managers would. in writing, guar antee them their salaries and readjust things so that the shows could go on The Brandons say this offer was re- jected and some of the company say that the managers did not come for any answer
 Last night some of the company say they were ready to go on with the show put tlle colnpdny part or the OrcheStra wanted money and would not play without it. The Brandons say that it was flat refusal to play and that for this reason the house had been dis | missed. They claim that from the start the written contract with Jacobs has been violated. It is an undoubted fact that Jacobs is indebted to the Brandons for over $1,000.
 The Brandons claim that through mis- direction by Mr. Jacobs the shews have not been up to the capability of the really clever people in the company and that after repeated contract viola = tons they could do nothing to main- tain the standard of the house save close the company This charge is, of course, resented by Mir. Jacobs who claims he will. if possible, secure an- other house here and remain.

 Dear Editor:
 l just note an A! P. dispatch in your today's paper about the launch ing of a concrete ship at a Pacific Port. Why such secrecy? Would it be of value to the Germans to know where this port is locate I should like to call your attentiou a brief but well illustrated article n the En- gineering News Record, Jan. 17, page 105, in which it states that ship of this description was being built at Redwood City, Calif., at the southern end of San Francisco Bay, etc. Again see Engineering News-Record of March ', page 451, in which March IA is given as the date of launching If all goes we'll"
 Is not this Port on the coast and Somewhere on the continent over done a great deal? Why tease the harmless American public when the German spies have ready access to our worthy engineering periodical?
 Very truly yours,
 R. H: H. SPIDEL,
 eve are pleased to answer this inquiry, it is so easy. Of course since everybody else knows where this Pacific Port is, we all know that the Germans know that. It is not our expectation to fool the Germans in this respect or by any other reference to nameless ports on the Pacific, the Atlantic or the Mississippi. It IS only parrot like imitation of a prac- tice that was instituted by the French for strategic reasons. But to us it sounds military and highly technical and gives an impression that we are on the job. It fools nobody but ourselves so that outsiders cannot be heard to complain. It makes for psychology and who will say that psychology cannot win wars? Nobody ever tried it before and it may be just the thing that is needed. It is the duty of all true and loyal Americans to join in the camou- flaging of the map of the United States so that it will be invisible. We have for instance. been trying to have the name of Phoenix dropped during the war and have reference made only to "a port on Salt River" But the Chamber of Commerce will | not stand for it, nor will anybody | else to whom we have preached the subject. But they may live to re- gret it. That may be the last ounce | of strategy that was needed to win 1 the war;
