DOUGLAS ARIZONA SUNDAY MORNING DECEMBER
BERLIN'S FOOT
CO
"ON THE JUMP"

BERLIN, Dec. 7.--(P-Pedestrians In
Berlin are learning to be quick on
the Jump just as their brethren in
other countries, particularly since the
establishment of a light control sys-
tenn this fall on number of the
city's principal streets.
The more impetuous motorist,
chiefly taxi drivers and motorcyclists,
have made rapid progress in picking
up the tactics of their type in Amer
lean and other cities where traffic
is ruled by light signals, and the
start of the waiting line Of cars
at intersections is frequently on the
familiar trigger system.
When the signal changes to green,
the line plunges forward apparently
regardless Of any pedestrian who
may be on the roadway. AS result
the lively jumping of foot travellers
is getting to be one of the sights
of the town.
If Prince Louis Ferdinand, second
son of the former Crown Prince Fred
erick William were matriculated at
an American university he probably
would aspire to be chairman of the
junior prom.
How adept he is at arranging
dancing parties was shown at the
annual ball of the Blue White Tennis
club of Berlin. The young prince,
who is regarded the most versatile
of the younger Hohenzollerns, is
member of the executive committee
of the exclusive club, made up
principally of former monarchial Of
ffcers' families.
Louis Ferdinand was asked to man
age the ball, and he did it with
great success. He is only 10, and
was born at Potsdam in November,
which is now celebrated as the ami
versary of the revolution that re-
suited in the abdication of his grand
father, the former Kaiser William,
An organized gang of crooks,
hpreying chiefly on American visitors
to Berlin, has been tipped off to
the police by American consular
authorities, who have assisted in the
investigation of a string of daylight
holdups in which Americans have
lost upwards of $4,000.
The members of the gang, number
ing a dozen men and women, speak
English fluently. They string them
selves out along Inter Den Linden
between two fashionable hotels and
the office of the American Express
company, a path frequently travelled
by visitors. In various ways they
manage to strike acquaintance with
visitors who are prone to welcome
"fellow countrymen'' in strange
country. They lure their victims into
secluded passageways and arcades,

PUBLIC TO DECIDE ON SCHEDULE FOR STORES Chamber of Commerce to Regulate Closing by

A referendum 10 the public to determine what closing hours arc wanted in New Britain stares is favored by tho chamber of com- merce and will be planned tomorrow afternoon when the committee on closing meets.
 Heretofore, prescntatiyes of the store interests have assembled and after much diCkering determined upon closing hours which were at once put in effect and maintained until the following year.
 In recent years there has been much diSsension over the decisions OH closing hours and merchants have threatened to buck. Believing that public convenience should be the deciding factor, the chamber faVors the referendum. What form it will take has not been decided, but fl is expected that an invitation to the public 10 express its preferences will be extended and these express sions will be considered by the com- mittce.
 The proposal that stores close at 6 ). m, on Saturday will again be taken up. This proposition, if is un- d"rs'Ood, does not fiud favor among some Of the leading merchants and will not be urged as strongly this year as last. Clerks will ask that "Wednesday afternoon be made a year around holiday, instead of merely during the summer months as at present.
