 Ship Smaller Lots
 TUCSON-wF'reigh shipments in less than carload lots have shown a re markable increase in the past month. according to local representatives of the railroads, while shipments of solid car lots have decreased during the period. they claim.
 Unsettled market conditions which may result in a decrease in prices in merchandise are causing merchants to order goods in small quantities only, it is said. as they are unwilling to lay in large stocks at the present prices with a possibility of a drop in prices in the near future
 This condition is reflected in the business of the American Railway Ex- press company, which has more than doubled in the past year, according to 1 Steven Romer, local agent.
 ''We are handling an enormous amount of express matter at the pres 1 ent time" said MT. Romer Wednesday.

 | Heart Broken; Hunts Dog DOUGLAS-It was just dog, but when it was killed by an automobile the heart of two-year- old Dixie flaw
 kins, 913 Greene street, was broken. 1 Toy dogs promises of another play mate and many other bribes failed to 1 satisfy the longing for her lost pal and yesterday Dixie, who had been I told by her parents that the dog nao | run away because she had pulled it's l tail too often, started out to look for l the disloyal canine. When she was picked up by the police at Thirteenth street and G avenue and turned over 1 to Mrs. c. H. Hirst deputy county probation officer, she was too tired and frightened to tell her name. Billy Fourr, constable, presented the
 runaway with an ice cream cone and l Chief of Police Bowden gave her candy, l but every time they asked her her
 name she whimpered "Doggie.' and
 that was all the information she was willing to give. After spending a few 1 minutes at the station the anxious 1 mother called up the police station to report the disappearance of her child. l Dixie left the police station with her
 father with the promise of Chief Bow den that he would find her dog, or one just like it.-Dispatch.
