Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia,
10 year old second son of the former
crown prince. failed to qualify with
the managers of the Berlin subway
lines as needy" The young prince
applied for a reduced fare permit,
by which needy students may travel
at children's half fare rates. The
press agrees in commencing the prince
for his sense of thrift, but calls his
attention to the fact that so long
as the crown prince has the means
for long trips to Switzerland and
for offering prizes at six-day bicycle
races, the public can hardly be ex-
peGted to believe in Louis Ferdinand's
poverty.

have. ARRIVED

Secretary George B. Doubleday OF
the Douglas Chamber of Commerce
and Mines yesterday received a num-
ber of pictures OF the Cochise county
exhibit at the Arizona state fair.
The pictures are remarkably clear and
distinct and give to the viewer an
excellent conception of the exhibition
which Sulphur Springs valley farmers
sent to Phoenix.
There is another picture which will
go with this collection. It is of the
Al ribbons which Cochise county ex-
hibitors won at the state far and
includes the ribbons won Dy the coun-
ty for the entire display This pic
ture was arranged for by Doubleday,
who prepared very artistic display
of the ribbons by placing them on
big board.
The collection Of pictures will be
framed and kept at the chamber of
commerce offices to be used as an
added proof that this county and
especially the Douglas district pro-
duces as fine products of the soil as
can be raised anywhere.

DOUGLAS WOMEN
URGED TO VISIT
COOKING SCHOOL,.

Housewives of Douglas have two
big opportunities this afternoon,
either of which is likely to result
in material advantage and profit to
them. The opportunities come with
the Arizona Edison conpanys free
cooking school which will be con-
Quoted at O'Clock for about one
and one half hours and the chance
that each lady will be given to have
free of all costs, delivered at her
home, a beautiful enameled $3.50 gas
range, the type upon which Miss
Marguerite Ovens will give her demon
strations in the cooking school. The
demonstration will start sharply at
3 and the ladies who attend will
thus have ample time to do shop
ping after it is over and get home
in time to prepare the evening meal
Miss Ovens is a graduate in domes-
tic science work and teacher IN
that line and her demonstrations
will present practical ideas and give
the ladies attending many thoughts
that will be helpful in their home in
preparation of meals. This is the

today will be able to see four lessons

baking of cookies this afternoon, a
lesson which every mother with nor
NAL children ought to find interesting,
for the average child places a cookie
above "a crown, when it comes to
personal choice.
The course will be concluded with
a lesson in which the preparation Of
an entire meal will be demonstrated
There will be one lesson on cooking
meats. The lessons combine two
factors. One is the proper and most
satisfactory methods of handling the
food and the other is the method

DEVIL MEMBER
CHAIN GANG IS
VIEW

During the millennium the right
eous will live and reign with Christ
in Heaven; all the wicked will be
in death, and the Devil will be bound
with a chain of circumstances to
this earth in it's desolate condition"
according to Evangelist Moran OF
Texas, in his discourse at the new
Seventh-Day Adventist church, at TIC
18th street. The lecture was en-
titled ''The Millenniun-Wh the
Devil Joins the Chain Gang"
"TIe first resurrection Ushers in
the second coming of Christ" said
the speaker '1e comes to receive
the righteous to reign with Him.
The apostle Paul says in Thessalon-
ians 4:16-18, "tlle Lord Himself shall
descent from heaven with a shout
with the voice of the archangel and
with the trump of God; and the dead
in Christ shall rise first; then we
which are alive and remain shall
be caught up together with them
in the clouds, and so shall VIC ever
be with the Lord And John. the
Revelator, says (Revelation 20:6)
Blessed and holy is he that hath
part in the first resurrection, on such
the second death hath. no power"
Mr. Moran described the earth
in it's chaotic condition, and said,

he cannot leave. The righteous are
in heaven with Christ, and all the
wicked are killed by the brightness
of Christ when He comes. The earth
lies desolate with the cities broken
down. This is very vividly portrayed
in the fourth chapter of jeremiah
and verses 1928.
"There is only one place in the
Bible where the 1000 year period
is mentioned and that is Revelation

THOMAS ASKINS
FORMER POLICE
CHIEF Is DEAD

Thomas Askins, former chief of
police of Douglas, of 735 18th street,
died at the c. and A. hospital Friday
morning at a o'clock following a
brief illness. He was 81 years CT age
and had been resident of Douglas
for "a years. He is survived by his
wife and four children, Mrs. William
D. Brown, OF Philadelphia, Pa; Will
liam F. Askins, of Los Angeles, Calf;
Mrs. w. H. Davey, of Nogales, and
Miss Elizabeth Askins, senior at
the University of Arizona. The last
daughter named and Mrs. Askins
had been with Mr.. Askins during the
last few days of his sickness
Mr.. Askins was a native of Ireland
born in County Wexford 81 years ago.
When yet in his youth he came to
America and q years ago at Ana
conda, Mont, het3aWas married to
Elizabeth Ryan, who survives him.
He removed to this city a few years
after his marriage and established
his home where he had since resided.
He had been recognized as one Of
the best type Of citizen in the COM
munity where he reared his family
and was made chief of police, a
position he held from 1912 to 1913.
That was the only political position
he had held and while he took an
active interest as a citizen in the
affairs of his city, he did not aspire
to political honors
For the last IA years he had been
an employe at the G. & "A. smalter
where he was recognized as a faithful
and careful employe and was gener-
ally popular with his fellow Workmen.
He had been employed until recently
when his health began to bother and
something more than month ago he
was a patient at the hospital for
a week or so but recovered sufficiently
to return to his home. On November
1o he again was admitted as a
patient at the hospital and on last
Monday underwent surgical opera
ton. His resistance was not sufficient
to overcome the shock OF the surgery
and his death followed.
Mr.. Askins was a Catholic. His
lodge affiliation was limited to the
Woodmen of the World. Funeral
plans had not peen concluded last
evening.

it there until the time such article
can be cooked. When the oven gets
too hot. the automatic adjuster closes
down and makes the heat return to
the proper degree for the work. All
these factors save the housewife
needless worry and avoid the old
fashioned method that grandmother
pursued of opening the oven to see
how the crust appeared or took that
old black-handled fork to prod the
roast to see how it was cooking. The
gas range that will be used in these
demonstrations is the type that will
be given away free of all cost to
some housewife in Douglas but it
will be only some housewife active
enough in her interest in household
affairs to attend this cooking school
because there is where the chance to
manifest her keenness in guessing will
be given to her
The gas range will pe, given free
to the lady who guesses nearest the
accurate degree of temperature OF
one of the ranges displayed but the
only chance to get the guess is to
be present, register and listen to the
demonstration lecture. There ought
to be hundreds of ladies out to see
the range, hear the lecture and have
a guess this afternoon at 3.
These lessons will be given each
week until the course has been con-
cluded and those ladies who have
not yet registered in the course are
urged by Miss Ovens to come to the
lesson today. She points out that the
business men of Douglas are striving
for road improvement and getting
airline mail and if a referendum were
to be taken among the business men
they would all vote for everything
that would give promise of better
homes and better cooking and she
urges that only better cooks have the
vision for home improvement along
general lines.

Large, harsh, superficial, that truth is. and,
fresh from the book, / am moved to express
something about America that has been smol-

Let me set down two impressions OF a very
intelligent French reader of these representa-
tive books. The first impression was one of
the wide freedom of movement and the uni
versal restlessness of these common people
compared with the rooted limited lives of
their European equivalents, so far they can
be counted equivalents. The next and the
stronger was the extreme thinness and poverty
of their mental life. We were in the presence

They had no metaphors, but slang phrases
horribly bent and fattened by excessive use.
They betrayed nothing European could re-
cognize as religion and no general ideas of
any sort. Their revivalism the cheapest
shallowest orgy of mass emotion. They knew
nothing of any literature. They read so badly
that their news had to be shouted at them
from the tops of columns. The poverty of
their language was amazing. The lover,
wrung to ecstasy, might say, my, but you are

but it was arguable that that is phase. Two
thirds of the surnames in Dreiser's books were
Central Eastern European names. These
people were newcomers, they had left Polish

and the Of flowers and legend and
metaphor had also been left behind. There
had been a vast mental attrition during the
process of transplantation to a SOIL No
real attempt had been made to assimilate
them TO any conceivable American culture.

and moods all wrong? And, moreover, they

doubt whether there was ever quite such
Babbitt as Babbitt
"Elmer Gantry." which deals with the pop
ular religious life, is even more like seeing
through the curves Of bottle 1t has the
quality of veracity One feels, that is that
what is seen in it is truly there, that 1t is not
made up But also one feels that the thing
seen is different in its proportions. The story
is universal. Where there Is revivalism and
popular missionng, whether it be Catholic or
Protestant or New Thought or no thought,
there is the same danger of reaction between
the magnetic preacher type and the exctabe
woman convert or associate. But the scale
of the development Is distinctive because OF
the entirely unprecedented social atmosphere
in which it goes, and there lies the major in
terest of the European observer.
The first quality that impresses the Euro
pean is the abounding vgor of the social life
these books reveal. The next is it's immense
crudity and hard on that, it's lack of variety
in culture and the absence of half shades,
sort of universal black and whiteness. Every
body seems to think the same things and
press them by the same common idioms.
Henry James, in his all too rarely cited
book THE American Scene" complains of his
native land as he saw it in 1909, that nothing
in the array Is behind anything else--an odd
result, l admit. of the fact that many things
affirm themselves as preponderantly before.
"Babbitt" and Elmer Gantry" tell Of a world
that must be on the street line or perish. One
might say this is community wholly with
out criticism but this would be to ignore COM
pletely the existence of the book in hand
