HELLO GIRL | S
GIVEN CREDIT
FOR QUICK WORK

One of the most striking examples
of the real service and efficiency OF
the Douglas offices of the telephone
company was illustrated to startled
group of officers and Dispatch
reporter at the police station shortly
after noon yesterday.
William Fourr, cattle inspector for
this district, was informed by the
police that he was wanted on the
long distance. Fourr went to the
desk phone in the station and upon
getting the operator said, Gimme
long ways, please"
Everyone in the station laughed.
They thought that BILLY" was trying
to be funny. He said nothing more
for two seconds and then was talk
ing to a rancher at McNeal about
tile proper procedure to take in
butchering calf.
All he had done to get a long
distance connection had been that
one peculiar request and the con-
nection had been made in record
time. The operators knew his voice
and were used to his joke about
"long distance" They were holding
call for him and it went through
instantly.

address appropriate to the day. The
speaker will be Claude Smith, past
exalted ruler of the Tucson lodge.

an annual service and that the public

RANKS
TENTH in WORK
FOR SCHOOL CUP

Douglas ranks tenth in the COM
petition among freshmen students at
the University of Arizona for the
presidents cup given each year for
scholarship. This was shown on a
chart received last evening by Super
intendent Of Schools j. E. Carlson, Jr
Last year the freshmen students
from Douglas took fourth place in the
competition One thing interesting
about the chart is the fact that Doug
las sends more young people to the
university than any other city in the
state except Phoenix and Tucson.
It is remarked that Casa Grande,
with four students in the first year at
the state school, took the first place
for the cup. Superintendent Carlson
points out, also, that of these four
students, three are girls, which he says
makes it easier for Casa Grande as
girls are more likely to apply them
selves to their studies than are boys,
The winning average grade was
2.291 and the average grade of the
Douglas contingent was 2946.
Carlson states that it is easier for a
small group to make a high standing
than for large group and in such a
large group as that of Tucson with 86
students or Phoenix with 26 or Doug
las with 9,<the addition of every pupil
after the first three or four means a
reduction in the quality of the work.
It is to be noted that the five high
est standing in the contest are held
by contingents numbering not more
than four in number.

FIREMEN HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE,
IN MAKING RUN

Firemen from station number one
made one Of the widest runs in the
history of the city fire department
last evening shortly before 10 o'clocA
when an alarm came in from the
corner of 18th street and D avenue.
The wildness of the run was caused
by a car which lodged out in front
of the big engine as it roared on
its way at the corner of Tenth street
and F avenue. *
81 thought we had hit him." one
of the firemen said "If we had
we would be going yet" another one
added. Efforts were being made last
night to get the punber of the car
that so nearly caused an accident
Abe fire turned out to be blaze
in pile of lumber in the yard
behind a, house on 18th street. There
was no damage and the flames were
exth1guished without uncoiling any
hose.

ARlZONASSTORY TO BE TOLD
IN The NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
NOW MAKING PICTURES FOR IT

class that it is important to have in
terested in the state in the opinion OF
business men of Douglass The news
that the article is to be featured to
show exactly what a winter here means
is another thing that pleases the local
interests, because that is what they
have been trying to get to the people
in other parts of the world in adver-
tising through all the big magazines
Of the country, including the Geo
graphic. 1T is as a result of a recent
advertisement in the Geographic that
the present flow of inquiries are COM
ing from various points in Europe and
every state in the union.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-12-04

\ Work is. now in progress. by repre-
sentatives of the National Geographic
! magazine in procuring the pictures
| and other DATA needed for an Arizona
i article to appear soon in that maga-
zine. The representatives of the Geo
graphic are working first around
Phoenix, but it is regarded as certain
that they will shortly visit this section
| of the state for the work of securing
photographs of some of the remarkable
/ scenery in the rocks that have gained
such general attention. The following
from The Republican of Phoenix is OF
I interest:
can early number of the National
Geographic magazine, it was learned
here yesterday, will be devoted to pic
torial representations OF scenic, agrl-
cultural and industrial Arizona CHI
ton Adams, staff photographer, used
in the field, yesterday, making color
plates of the Salt river valley lettuce
harvest and delighted with the pic
tureSque background
"Frederick Simpich who is gathering
material for the text, and Adams VIII
be guests Sunday of Maricopa County
Farm bureau on motor trip over tne
new Apache Trail. Arrangements nave
been made to furnish them Win
launches in which to navigate Horse
/ Mesa and Roosevelt lakes.
"Other pages will show views OF the
| Boyce Thompson Southwest Arbore-
tun, Phoenix golf links and, OF course
various phases of the desert The pic
lures were timed for December in or
der that the climatic effect of an Arl-
! zona winter with all that implies So
cially and economically might tell Its
own silent story with maximum elo-
! quence"
| That Douglas will have a share in
| this publicity is certain because OF the
| fact that Mr.. Simpich wrote to the
chamber of commerce last May asking
| for pictures of the wonderful rocks
hereabouts and he was sent 18 photo
graphs of the best that could be hao
along with data intended to help pro-
vide the story concerning them. Bu'
| that was not the last OF the effort OF
the chamber.
/ Secretary George B. Doubleday, or
i learning that the magazines men were
at Phoenix, at once sent them an ur-
gent invitation to come to Douglas fol-
i personal cruise through this section
and other citizens also added then
personal invitations to Mr.. Simpich
with whom they have a close and lntl-
mate acquaintance, not to leave Doug,
! las out of his itinerary while gathering
the data, even if the photographs sem
him earlier proved sufficient for his
use. 1t is, therefore, expected tha'
word will be here quite soon setting
the date when the visitors will arrive
and when they do they will be ac-
corded every attention by the cham
Der and the Climate club.
The fact that Arizona is to have
special attention in the Geographic il
considered as a most favorable thin@
to the state by people familiar witt
the value of publicity. The Nationa
Geographic is one of the outstanding
publications of the world and circulate;

! reaches very high class OF people,
