DAYLIGHT RADIO
PREDICTED FOR
THANKSGIVING

A. r. Boardman, of the Stewart
Warner radio store, stated in an
interview with a representative of
the Dispatch that he fully expectd
that Douglas would have daylight
radio service by Thanksgiving. He
said that he had been notified that
a Phoenix station IS putting in
broadcasting station of the proper
frequency to reach this city at all
hours. This bit of information will
be cause for joy to the radio fans.
The Stewart Warner radio store re-
ports that more radios are being IN
stalled every day and that the custom
ers are becoming better satisfied as
time goes on. There are about three
months out of the year in this city
when the radio is greatly bothered
with static and many users of the
machines get impatient and imagine
that they have purchased poor set
if it brings them only walls ano
shrieks the first few times they
run it.
With both the manager and the
chief repairman of the Stewart War
rer shop we'll informed in their busi-
ness the organization guarantees to
give a full measure of satisfaction
with their fine sets. They are at
this time putting in another store
in B:sbee.

P. D. STORE IS A
DRAWING CARD
FOR BUYERS

That the Phelps Dodge store, at
the corner of Tenth street and G.
avenue, is becoming sort of co:n-
muntty center for shoppers is indi-
Gated by the large numbers of people
who may be seen in anv of the de-
partments Of the big store at any
hour of the day. During the past
year the store has made a number
of changes and improvements in It's
service and is attracting many east
omers.
The grocery department is growing
very popular with the housewives of
the city and with all persons who buy
groceries and meats and the store
has reached a stage in its develop
ment which keeps pace with tho
growth of the city to such an extent
that late afternoons on that par
t.cular corner give one the impress
sion received by the rush hour traffic
in larger cities.

such an undertaking, properly or
ganized ard properly engineered would
bring in sufficient revenue to justify
the investment.
In connection with the investigation
and the preliminary work toward
starting the power line, Mr.. Sexton
has given much time and hard work
to study. of the systems employed
in other communities where power
lines or other means OF supplying
water at low cost have been put
into operation.
It appears that the most feasible
and successful plan is that used in
salt river valley and in maTly sec
tons Of California. This plan is a
$3.50 proposition in which the com
pany, having the water or the power
with which to produce cheap water,
constructs it's lines to the edge OF
the district needing the water or
power and the farmers of the dis
trict contract, for the power on a
stipulated basis and make their own
arrangements through an crgan;za-
ton, for the delivery of the power
to each Individual holder
Such an organization is the Salt
River Valley Water Users association
in which the members are bonded for
a small amount, usually about one
dollar an acre, to insure the &ans'
portation of the water from the big
canal of the company controlling the
dam to the fields of each memJer
of the association.
In this valley it is probable thac
the initial venture Will be made with
but a small group of ranchers, who
will bond themselves quite heavily
for the construction of their lines for
power, after which, with the Edison
company delivering all the power
they need, they will sell portions or
the rights to power to their neigh
Tors, thus dividing the cost of the
first investment and the annual up.
keep until 50, many farmers will be
using the power that the cost to
each will be reduced to an almost
negE gible figure.
There are many advantages to this
manner of handling the situation,
says Sexton. Because of their, finan-
cial interest in the undertaking the
farmers are in position to dictate

their advantage. 1T gives them real
ownership in the power In addition
to this the division of the initial cost
in this manner makes it much easier
for all concerned and at the same
time Immediately doubles or trebles
the value of the lands under the con-
/, tract.
Another method which would prob
ably be unnecessary here is that OF
the colonization expert. This would
mean the coming in of outside capital
to a large amount, the purchase in

LEVY BROTHERS
STORE DRAW S
TRADE TO CITY

Numbered among the assets of the
city of Douglas is the firm of Levy
Brothers, whose department store on
South G avenue is one of the largest
and most completely stocked on the
border. Prices in this store are such
as to fit the purse of all purchasers
and the salespeople of the establish
ment have been trained and schooled
to aid the customer and show HIM
desirable purchases.
Levy Brothers are an asset to this
city, not alone because of their eX-
cellent store, but because the firm
has faith in the city and proves 1t
by investing it's profits in Douglas
real estate by the thousands of
dollars.

Thirty days OF outdoor life under
strict discipline which necessitates
the keeping of regular hours; a
course which embraces physical
training, study of hygiene and good
citizenship, would make the girls
mentally more alert and give them
correct outlook on life. IL such
camps would take some of their
time away from jazz and direct
their trend of thought along con.
structiye lines the nation would
gain.
A sturdy young manhood of the
country and a weak young woman
hood would not be a satisfactory
condition for any nation. from the
standpoint of national defense or
well being in any manner.
An example of practical results
attained through our training camps
indicates the. value of similar camps
for young women. have list
of $50 nationally known financial
and commercial institutions who
have a definite policy of sending a
certain number OF young men to
the camps each year because the
young men return more efficient.
Their interest. therefore, is not
only in aiding the Government
national defense policy or the young
men. but in meeting the rigorous
demands Of business.
The camps proposed by Miss
Moloney differ from the citizens
military training camps in that
these camps are an integral part
of the national defense policy. 1t
would not be desirable to subject
young women to the same sort Of
military training. The practical
application of her idea presents in
tricate problems; in principal it Is
one of the greatest merit.

LONDON. May. 5.-King George
and Queen Mary are perhaps the
calmest individuals in England in
the midst Of the tense excitement Of

The King, it was stated. feels
keenly the crisis which his nation is
passing through and is constantly at
his desk perusing reports of the stu

through his chamberlains to the gov.

The Prince OF Wales, back from

his father at his desk and sought to
render what aid he could. He has
resumed lis residence at st. James

that the greatest economy be exer-

Girls Training Camps
More Needed Than Boys
By WALTER r. GEORGE

on Military Affairs
The proposal of military training
camps for girls meets with my
enthusiastic approval. 1t obviously
is right and clearly indicated in the
light of our experience with train
ing camps for boys. These have
proved of inestimable value to the
young manhood of America.
I will go further. AS between the
value of such camps for boys and
for girls, / believe that, in the long
run, they will prove of more value
in respect to the latter.
Boys will get intensive training
at the last moment, in any event.
But our girls, who are so needed
as nurses, as hospital attendants,
as factors of brightness and cheer
and as contributors to the morale
of the Army--so greatly to be con-
sidered-they make for success in
far greater measure than ever be.
