FIRE DEPARTMENT
 GIVES EXPEDITION
 IF ITS EFFICIENCY

In perhaps the most thrilling ex- hibition given by the local fire de- partment, the members of the Xii wanis club were shown yesterday by Fire Chief W. D. Simmons and the members of the department exactly how well protected from fire is the city of Phoenix and what superla- tive equipment is now in ues in the city.
 Dashing from the Cent al fire sta- tion at First and Jefferson streets to Korricks' New York store, with Fire Chief Simmons leading the way the new American-La France aerial truck stopped with jar at the side of the curb, the firemen spring ia their tasks and in a minute the lad der had been raised to the top of the building In the meantime line of hose had been strung and by the time that 1t had been carried to the top of the buildin the big Seagrayes truck of this station was ready to send through it water at a nozzle pressure of 12G pounds to the inch. When the big pump was started the water sprang from the nozzle, held on the Washington street side of the top of the euilding, almost to the
 
 ition of the efficiency of the depart ment and the tools with which it works
 The ladder was then swung away from the building and extended to it's | full length in the air, wherelIpon one of the firemen climbed up one side of it and down the other, feat that may be appreciated from the state | ment that the sway at the top of the | ladder is ordinarily about five or six feet.
 Then came the most thrilling feat | of all. Fireman Johnny Kerr, dressed as woman, appeared at a second story window of the store and then jumped into the new net, giving this piece of apparatus it's first trial The exhibition was far from out of the ordinary and a hundred Kiwanians in addition to the hundreds of other spectators, applauded Kerr at his courageous leap.
 The manner in which Fire Chief Simmons inaugurated the exhibition was also unusual While the luncheon of the club was in progress at the Y. M. c. A. several pieces of ap- paratus changed up to the curb. and while the Kiwanians were wonder | ing where tho fire was, it was an- I nounced that they were to visit the 1 Central fire station and then watch an exhibition of the new apparatus In actual use. The members of the club then took their places on the running boards of the trucks and were whirled to the station. about 100 taking the ride The operation of the station was then explained to them and then the exhibition at Korricks was made.
 After the meeting had been open- ed by President Royal w. Lascher yesterday and the introduction oi guests had been completed, Mayor Willis H Plunkett assumed charge of the luncheon as chairman of the day. Wes Knorpp, business manager of The Arizona Republican, explained a new road signal which is to be used in connection with the new automobile signs of the club, and then the attendance p 'Ize was awarded. Il was won by Press Bancroft and was given by Al Lytle while s. J. Sender will give the prize next week.
 The address O. the day was giveT by Bishop J. W. Atwood, whose sub- ject was the Annual Red Cross Rol Call" and who. after outlining the

LACK IF ADEQUATE AMUSEMENT CAUSE
 IF YOUTHFUL EVIL

Lack of cooperation between par ents and churches in furnishing clean, supervised amusements for the growing genera ton is considered the root of most of the evil with which police departments have to contend, according to Harry J. Loose, eminent Chicago detective, who gave an interesting discourse on crime, its cause anc prevention, at the High School auditorium last night, the second number in the Hi ' course.
 Unless you give the boys and girls of the teen age some whole some amusement, some outlet for their stored up energies, they will be leaving you. Why not all join to- gether in an effort to keep the com ing men and women of Phoenix right here in the city?" was the question asked by the lecturer.
 Detective Loose said that when he recently left Chicago there were more than 700 boys, all under 20 years of age. in the cells of Chicago jails awaiting trial in the juvenile court and that every train brought into the Middle West metropolis girls from small towns where no amusement was offered.
 In describing the career of some of these unsophisticated girls Detec- tive Loose told of 'spotting' a case which led from a house of ill-repute to the potter's field.
 Liquor and drugs have led to the downfall of many girls, but more of them have found the primrose path through a lack of proper amusement in their own home towns than through any other source" the speaker declared.
 During the course of his lecture Detective Loose exhibited knives and guns which have figured in mo- torious Chicago murder cases. He told of the methods employed by shoplifters, burglars and assassins. In this connection he mentioned that the greater number of homes were provided with excellent locks for the front door, while the rear doors were equipped with locks which almost any skeleton key could open. And the pantry window is gener- ally left open" he added.
 In summing up the cause of the ever increasig crime wave in the | United States Detective Loose said:
 "The greatest contributing cause | for the many young people leaving the straight and narrow path is the | general modern tendency for all of us to desert the strong religious
 faith of our fathers"

"A hot time in the old town-and
 then some''-is the ideal which is
 being held out by the Nobles of Fl Zaribah temple, Ancient and Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, for the great ceremonial which opens here Friday morning and closes Sat urday night with grand ball at the Shrine auditorium. All the pep, jazz and enthusiasm which distinguished the ceremonial here last February is to be duplicated and added to, until it seems that the plans of the commit tees in charge have included almost everything possible in the line of joy for the Nobles, excitement for the Novices and delight to the spectators.
 And there will be spectators-for Shriners do not limit their joyful hours to the time spent in the audi torium. From the time the first Novice appears on the streets Friday morning there will be something do- ing-as the Nobles of Fl Zaribah
