CHANGES EXPECTED.
Plans for Increased Activity Dis
cussed in Some Lines.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. January 1.-Plans
for increased activities In many lines
are being discussed today in Balti-
mores financial district.
The year of 1926 has been a good
one in nearly all branches of local
financial fields, and, while there have
been losses here and there, the ~
months as a whole leave a good i'm
preston. But now, of course, eyes are
turned to the new year.
A number of changes are expected
in the commercial banking institu-
tons. Some of these will be without
marked significance, but number
VIII be important, probably, according
to merger rumors.
New financing of Importance is ex-
pected. This will take the form of
both stock and bond issues, according
to plans now being made.

able to leave Douglas today OH his
way toward his headquarters in
Phoenix following an accident WhiNl
cost him a cash over the left eye,
a severe shaking up and bruises, and
this he admits with frankneSs- a
bit of fright that worse things were
about to happen to him when he
was in an automobile accident one
mile out of Lowell Tuesday. Moughr
had been to Douglas on his occasional
visit with the local agent, Ben Cravey,
and was travelling back to Phoenix.
When O'Brien got within about
one mile of Lowell something hap
pened very suddenly and before he
realized the car had made one turn
and half another and landed on its
top. O'Brien was pinned inside. He
was bruised and the cash over his
eye and he was prisoner The
framework of the car had WithStood
the terrific impact of the crash when
it landed on the top, and so O'Brien
took his only means of getting out
He kicked out the glass of the door
and crawled out.
Cravey was called and with the
wrecker went to the scene and turned
the car back and brought it to
Douglas and brought O'Brien, Who

manned over night at the Gadsden

PARCELS SHOW
MORE CARE in
THE HANDLING

PARCEL post Christmas shipments
have educated the. people of Douglas
on parcel wrapping according to Of
ficials at the Douglas postoffice. 1t
is the assertion Of those who have
been handling Christmas business in
the postoffice for years that the par
GELS going out this year present the
neatest appearance Of parcels they
ever hate handled through the office
They are not only, well wrapped but
they are carefully addressed, it is
stated.
Parcels are neat almost without
exception" said Assistant Postmaster
w. j. jackson. "It has never happen
ed before that the parcels came in such
uniform good order as they are show
ing this year. One would think that
they had been prepared by specialist
in wrapping. Without doubt the bet
ter condition is due to the fact that
people are educated to the advantages
of careful handling. Furthermore, they
have the satisfaction of knowing that
when the parcel arrives at its destina-
ton the one receiving it will have a
happy first impression because of its
appearance and he will be glad to re-
ceive it, no matter what it contains. .
There was not quite the rush at the
mailing window yesterday that had
marked the two previous days and
there is a. feeling among the postal
employees that the peak of outgoing
Christmas parcels has been passed.
But they are not too confident about
it, because they realize that it is never
safe to forecast there will not be a
heavy eleventh hour flood caused by
those people who so often delay such
things.

F. d. Hubbell, vice presndent of
the Douglas chapter of the National
Aeronautical association, announced
yesterday that the land is available
for the building of the International
airport and that action should be
taken at once to clear the land,
erect proper hangers and service
units and prepare for the reception

Hubbell said that either the county
or the city, or both combined, should
take such action as is necessary at
once. He brought out that the ques-
ton is a vital one, that the COM

GUESSING And
A DRAW GIVES
Her The RANGE

4
It took guess and chance for
Mrs. Ella Patterson, of 1919 18th
street to land. the owner of the $3.50
gas range which the Arizona Edison
company gave. away yesterday after
noon as the final chapter in It's cook
ing school course. The range was
awarded for the, best guess on the
degree of heat at which the range
had been set when it was lighted on
Monday, the indicator having been
sealed before it was turned to place.
The accurate peg. for the heat was
294. None guessed that but there
were five punched at a guess OF
300 degrees. The seal was broken
by Chief of Police Percy Bowden,
who found that 294 was the correct
figure. Then with five at 300 and
none nearer, the plan determined
upon was a drawing. The tickets for
the five were placed in a hat and
from the crowd gathered to witness
the award a little girl was invited
to draw a number. She reached for
it and it was found to be the one
which contained Mrs. Patterson's
name.
