QUESTIONSOF
ETIQUETTE
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman-

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
- While onel is eating, is it
proper to sit with ones hand i'll
ones lap? Or is it proper for
one to use the fork in the left
hand after cutting fowl or meat?
Shouldn't the fork, after the meat
or fowl has been cut, be trans
ferred to the right hand and then
used to convey the food to the
mouth? A. E. r.
/ am a 100 per cent
against the oIk-sE1ifting" method
of eating. Why should we go
through all the unnecessary mo
lions of first cutting piece of
hand, and then, resting the knife
on the plate, transferring the
fork to the right hand, and then
conveying the meat to the mouth
with the fork in the right hand?
Full OF motions, and, to my mind,
most unattractive. And it is a
manner Of eating that is seen no
place but in America. From the
. time when forks came into use
Europeans have held the forA in
the left hand and the knife in the
right, and have not gone through
this unnecessary shifting Of the
utensils.
Instead of going through this
fork-shifting performance, we
should learn how to hold our
utensils correctly. and then treat
them as IL they were friends
rather than enemies to our peace
of mind. When you have cut a
piece of meat, or a piece of toast
in a consequential kind OF sand
wich, or a piece of tart or a piece
Of endive in salad, keep your
knife in your right hand, resting
against the plate, and convey the
mouthful Of food to the mouth
with the fork in the left hand.
With a little practice you Will
find it extremely convenient.
One warning: sometimes, in.
deed usually, the beginner In this
fashion of eating will be apt to
keep the knife and fork continu-
ously in the hands during the
course. This Is wrong. After
every rnouthful or two lay your
knife and fork down in the most
convenient place on your plate.
That is. keep your knife on the
right side fthe plate (but not
resting too much on the rim of
the PLATED and your fork on the
left side Of the plate.
They should be near each other,
toward the middle of the plate,
not, however, placed as one would
place them when finished with
the meal. Placing them on the
plate. in this way, gives one the
appearance of being a punctilious
eater, careful eater, slow eat
er, and-one enjoys not only the
food but the conversation that lis
the sauce to meat"
On the other hand, to keep
ones utensils constantly in ones
hands gives one the impression
of being a slovenly and ''unac.
customed" eater, with no time or
thought for the matter of eating.
am sure that you will agree
with me. after you have given
this non-shifting-of- the.fork method
Of eating fair trial, that it is
the sensible way of eating.S Soon
you will be asking yourself the
question. why the shifting of
the fork? What does that &C.
complish?"

Petty Mystery Is
Worrying Police

One of the greatest petty myster-
les ever to confront local officers is
eing considered with the recovery
Tuesday of two bicycles. One of
these has been claimed by the owner
and the other is at the police sta
ton unclaimed. The mystery is in
that bicycles are being taken from
the porches in the residence section
al about the hour of three a. m.
and are removed to district west
of the railroad yards and there abana
doned.
Why anyone should steal a bicycle
at o'clock in the morning ana
take it to the edge of town and
leave it, is what the police want to
know. The occupants of one home
on Ninth street were awakened by
the noise made in removing small
boys bicycle from the porch. They
got up and looked at the clock. 1t
marked three. The police found the
Licycle unharmed in the railroad
district. This machine was too
small for anyone but a little boy to
ride

BARNEY HEARD
KILLED ON ROAD
TO TOMBSTONE

BISBEE, Feb. Is R.-Barney Heard,
of this city, was instantly killed early
this morning when an automobile in
which he was riding plunged off the
divide west of here. Thomas MCGUIRE,
driver, sustained a dislocated shoulder,
and James Kenney, pioneer Cochise
cattleman, and Bob Hill, of Lowell, the
other passengers, escaped with slight
cuts and bruises.
The car went off the grade almost at
the top of the descent toward Tomb
stone and rolled over many times dur
ing the 300-foot drop to the bottom.
Heard was pinned under the car when
it reached the bottom, sustaining a
fractured skull, several broken ribs
and internal injuries Death probably
was instantaneous. One of the sur
vivors explained that the accident re-
suited when an attempt was made to
turn off the ignition and the key which
locked the steering wnee1 was turned
by mistake.

Rumor That Port Is
Closed Is Resented;
Absolutely BaseIess

Local chamber of commerce officials
expressed surprise on Tuesday
when they learned that report is be-
ing circulated throughout the state
closed to tourist travel and that it is
nearly impossible to cross the border
to Aqua Prieta. The chamber officials
asked that a statement be issued from
their records. These records show that
of the hundreds of crossing cards the
chamber officials have issued not one
has ever been protested by the Mexi-
can officials and a pleasant and cour-
teous relation has. been maintained at
all times between the two cities.
Officials of the local organization
point out that it was through the CO.
operation of the Aqua Prieta officials
in the first place that the crossing
cards were authorized and arranged to
make it very simple matter for any
one coming to Douglas to go across the
border al any time without the slight
est inconvenience.
They further point out that such a
report is the more resented because of
the fact that since the building of the
city of Douglas records show that this
port has maintained a freer and less
hampered relation than any other on
the border and that this condition is
unchanged at this time. Investigation
of the source of the report indicated
the officials say, that it comes from
districts in the state where the actual
situation is little understood.

New Workers Go To
Bar-O Ranch To Live
Real Western Life.

J. William Schatz and daughter,
Miss Dorothea Schatz, of Pough-
keepsie, n. Y, who came to Douglas
because of the advertising of the
Borderland Climate club, will leave
this morning for Kendalls Bar-O
ranch to get a touch of true western
life.
Schatz and his daughter were busy
yesterday purchasing riding equip.
ment. They expect to stay on the
lanch for month or more.
The Bar-O ranch is a typical
western ranch and it's owners and
employees deny that it is a dude
ranch. The ranch, however, accom-
modates guests who wish to rest
and live the life of the west. The
ranch buys it's supplies IN Douglas
so the city gets the benefit of the
visitors coming here.
Mr. Schatz has made several trips
to the west but this is his first
visit to Douglas. He expressed him
self as being much impressed with
the city and surrounding country
He is president of the Federal

PHELPS DODGE
SPENDS MONEY
In HOME STATE

Farm products represented nearly
a quarter of the Arizona purchases
of the Phelps Dodge corporation
during 1926, according to report
compiled by the company for the
TRADE at Home-Use Arizona Prod.
uts" movement of the Arizona 1n-
dustrial congress- and cooperating
organizations.
Aptly Illustrating the irter-rela.
ton of industry in Arizona, and the
market the mining industry affords
producers of the state, the Phelps
Dodge report shows that this one
company expended a total of $685.
67052 for Arizona products last year,
without taking into consideration
the large additional sum represented
by supplies purchased through Ari-
zona distributors. OF the total, more
than 5000, 900 was spent for products
originated on farm and range, and
the remainder for manufactured
products of other origin.
Purchases of six mining divisions
of the corporation, and of the Phelps
Dodge Mercantile company, which
operates stores in a number of cities
in the southeastern part of the state,
are covered in the statement. The
Copper Queen branch made up the
largest divisional total, followed by
the mercantile firm. The state proc,
uts purchased by the various min
ing, branches aggregated $629,49
while the mercantile division ac-
counted for $24718O-a 25 per cent
increase. over 1925, and nearly a SO
Per cent Increase over 1924.
Explosives, printing, timber, lime
ard limerick, hay and grain, foundry
products and oxygen were leading
items purchased by the mining di.
visions, while farm products made
up four-fifths of the mercantile total
The latter included $76,49O worth OF
meat $46,66O worth of fruits and
vegetables, $4O,5OO for poultry and
eggs, S26,S30 for dairy products, and
S52,35O for miscellaneous Arizona
manufactured articles.
Tn line with the Buy at Home"
rolicy, the corporations purchases
were made in it's home districts
whenever possible, but they also af-
fected districts as far distant as
Yuma and Springerville. The mer.

A Dispatch reporter after careful

estimated that fifty per cent of the

every indication of being greatly

Arrang ements for casting the great
copper plates which are to be at
tractively lettered to show that
Douglas is the copper city, is on
the border and is a good place to

is expected that the making of these

of Arizona offers.
The cabinet sign is artistically
built There is a little shingle roof
ever the top of it. The colors used
are black and white and the glass
front is big enough so that large
number if pictures can be placed on
view within. 1t is the plan of the
chamber of commerce officials to
change from time to time the type
of pictures and the nature of the
views in this case as there are Sc
many really great attractions to be
advertised that they want to give
