OFFICERS OF SMALLER
CITIES RECOVER
CARS, SAYS OFFICIAL

"It is the police officers of the
smaller cities and towns who are doing
the most to check the increasing num-
ber of ear thefts in this country" was
the statement made Wednesday by w.
c. JohEosn, representative of the Eu-
reka Insurance company of Los An
geles, who is in Douglas for the pur-
pose of taking back ear stolen in
Los Angeles several months ago and
recovered by the local police. "The
most cars are stolen in the larger
cities, but it is in the smaller cities
that we recover them. If the police of
cities the size of Douglas are notified
in time they are practically certain to
get the stolen car as soon as it ap-
pears.
st personally feel that the officers
are entitled to a substantial reward
op every car they recover. Many times
they are compelled to wait and watch
for hours in order to recover a car
stolen in some distant city. I think
that the Douglas police officers are to
be commended for their alertness and
good judgment in recovering the car
have come to take back. We had
lost all trace of the machine and the
Douglas officers who recovered it had
no report of it being stolen. They
used excellent judgment in assuming
that the car had been stolen because
of the circumstances under which it
was found and in holding it for in
vestigation."
The car which Johnson came here
to get is the property of Howard j..
Hill, operator of car renting estab
lishment in Los Angeles, and was re-
covered when local officers arrested
Verde Branson on suspicion December
10. The car was stolen by Robert
Sloan, who later turned it over to
Branson 1t will be driven back to
Los Angeles as soon as repairs on it
can be made.

LORETTO Pupils
MAKE HIT WITH
their PROGRAM

The pupils of Loretto school pre-
sented their Christmas program at the
school Wednesday evening to an APP
preciative audience. Preceding the pre-
sentation of the principal number on
the program, the play Little Nellie's
Dream" number of the students of
the school gave recitations. These
were well delivered and showed great
care in tutoring and a real interest on
the part of the speakers.
Cecilia Rork presented the title role
in the play and did justice 20 her diff
ficult part. Jack Lester played the
Jumping Jack and created the fun of
the show. Margaret Scott acted the
part of the doll and was good both as
an actress and in that particular part
as she looked like big beautiful doll.
David Reidy played a hard part well,
and Tom Scott as Santa Claus produced
much merriment James Guthrie, James
Boyle and william Mahoney We're
Brownies and were costumed very ap-
propriately. Donald Conn played the
part of the gingerbread man, and as
some of the audiencd said, looked
good enough to eat"
Betty Freeman playing the part of
the Christ child, and Pauline Schwamm
in the role of an angel, completed the
list of principal characters, all of
whom added to the success of the play
Others who took part were Patsy
O'Neil Nora Griffin, 0phelia Soto,
Dolores Soto Helen Dodge and Evan
geline Duarte, who were an angels
chorus and sang very sweetly.
Matthew Sicocan, George RorlS, Ca
mile Laverin, Johnnie Westbrook,
James Wylie, Louis Acosta and Jack
Wood also had parts in the play and
showed the results of careful coaching
and real interest in their work.

CITY MAY PUT
COPPER SIGNS
near RAILROAD

Two huge signs lettered on Doug
las copper and placed so that
everyone coming into the city over
the railroads will be able to read
them will be placed at either end
of the park at the Southern Pacific
depot by the first of the year. This
announcement was made yesterday
by President Fred Hubbell, of the
chamber of commerce. Orders fo1
the construction of the signs have
heen issued The railroad company
has been notified of the intention to
place the signs on their property anc
their consent is being awaited.
On the big signs, which will be
made as beautiful and as attractive
as possible, will appear the name OF
the city, the elevation, the figures on
population and a list of the out
standing facts about Douglas ana
this district. The signs will be
lighted at night so that at all times
it will be possible to see them plain :
Iy and read their message. This sys-
tenn has long been under discussion
Travellers through Arizona have in
the past complained to the railroad
, company and to local organizations
that there has been absolutely
nothing along the railroads leading
into this city that would advertise
the community and persons might
very easily pass through the city on
trains without knowing where they
had been.

Help Beautify City;
Give Trees as Gifts

A new idea for the Identification
of Douglas has been suggested. The
idea is to give orders for shrubs and
trees and Towering bushes and bulbs
AS Christmas presents. Such pres,
ents should be given to home owners
who take a pride in caring for their
lawns. The chamber of commerce,
which is backing the program fer
the Identification of Douglas, feels
that there is something novel in CIV.
ing 4 person a tree or rose bush
for Christmas present, and as
this is the best time of the year for
planting many shrubs and plants,
The suggestion is appropriate to tno
season.
With the solving of the fert.lizlns
question in the reports that lime viii
counteract the black alkali and make
flowers, tfees and grass grow on
any of the soil of the city, the
business of planting greenery has
taken a big jump over town and the
new idea, give plants, trees or grow
ing flowers for Christmas, should
create a fad in Christmas giving.

BIG PROCRA
WILL CELEBRATE
HOLIDAYS HERE

Nearly everyone in the city of Doug
las will this year be Connected in some
way with a Christmas program, for
even if they do not all take part they
will at least see one or donate some-
thing toward the success of one. 1t is
estimated that altogether there will be
more than 20 different programs to
which the public is invited, to say
nothing of the number of private pro-
grams given by family circles or by
clubs and church organizations.
Every church organization in the
program and the children of every
church will be made glad with some
gift, such as candy or fruit. The Sal
walton Army will have Christmas
tree and will also serve dinners to the
needy. This is one organization which
will demand the attention of that por-
tion of the population which does not
take part in any program and which
will not go to see any programs, as
this group will drop coin or bill into
one of the Saliva ton Army pots and
thus will be Connected with one of the
public Christmas celebrations.
Several parties of public nature
have already been held and the season
may now be said to be at its height.
There will be parties and programs
and celebrations now until after the
New Year.
