new QUOTA FOR
FLOOD RELIEF
HERE
Every Effort to Raise More
Money for Homeless
WillBe Made

Although no official notification of
the doubling of the Red Cross quota
throughout the nation to $10,000,000
to aid flood sufferers had been re-
ceived by local officials of the or
ganization last night, Henry w. Will
Iiams treasurer, said that every eff
fort to raise the quota when it is as
signed will be made.
Williams was told of the call for
more funds by reporter for the
Dispatch following the receipt of an
Associated Press dispatch that more
funds were needed to alleviate suf-
fering among the hundreds of suf-
ferers in the Mississippi valley. The
dispatch was from Washington.
"We will probably receive word of
our new quota Tuesday Williams
said after being told of the wire
story. every effort will be made
to raise the new quota as quickly as
the first"
The first quota of $500 set for
Douglas was more than reached in
the first four days of last week,
citizens sending in checks and cash
to aid their fellow men.
Local Red Cross officials Saturday
wired Pacific coast Red Cross head
quarters asking if the drive for funds
should be continued here, and re-
ceived an answer stating that it
would be advisable, Williams said.
The call for an additional $4,000, 900
was made last night when it was
seen that the first quota of a similar
amount would be far inadequate to
meet the needs of the mounting hun
dreds of homeless in the path of the
flood waters of the Mississippi and
other rivers.

Grammar School Will
Hold Annual Exhibit
In P alto This Week

The third annual exhibit of the
Douglas grammar school will be held
on Friday and Saturday of this week.
From all indications, this exhibit will
be more extensive and of a much
higher quality than any of the former
ones. ~
No better setting for such an ex-
hibit can be found than that of the
patio of the school. Visitors in our
city very frequently call at the build
ing in order to see the patio. All
depart admiring it's attraction and
asserting that it is decidedly unique.
This will be the background for the
exhibits.
All departments of the school will
have work on display. AS far as
possible, every pupil will have some-
thing entered probably not from
every department, but just as much
as possible.
One part of the exhibit that will be
of special interest is the display of
the winning entries at the Cochise
county fair last fall. At that time
the grammar school won II first
place prizes, 12 second place and
five third place in addition to two
special prizes.
During the past two years the at
tendance at the exhibit has been
splendid, but this year it is hoped
that the number of visitors will be
double. In order to make it as con-
venient as possible, the display will
be open for two days, Friday and

AUTOMATIC PRINTERS REPLACE

with the death of E. p. Ingmire, also of
San Pedo, was set for May H. was the
for The Dispatch. The story was put
on the wire at Los Angeles.
The next story was of a crate of

The automatic printers carry into

word report over special leased wire
from the Associated Press. H. c..
Mayabb, local manager for the Noun
tain States Telephone and Telegraph
company, has sQperintended installa-
tion of the printers and will look after
their mechanical upkeep. The average
word rate minute for the printers is
from 40 to so.
One of the chief advantages of the
mechanical printers is their depend
ability and almost unvarying accuracy
The copy comes to the paper in almost
perfect condition. Baseball scores,
stock market reports and other matter
carrying large volumes of figures come
in almost perfect alignment and
facilitate the work of local newspaper
workers when they are to Re put in
print.
Dating back many years, the Asso-
ciated Press began experimenting with
automatic machinery to transmit news
stories wholesale and with more
, accuracy and speed than is possible in
most cases with Morse operators at the
receiving end of the wire. Their ex-
periments finally evolved the printers
such as are now in operation for The
Dispatch.
The printers are mechanically oper-
ated typewriters. An operator at the
filing end of the Wire writes on a
| machine; this machine forms impulses
I and these in turn reproduce the copy
written by the operator on the ma

panions of the army air corps when
they dropped gracefully to earth at
Boiling Field late today to report in
person to President Coolidge that the
task he had assigned them was COM
pleted.
A Brief official exchange of greet

that has brought Iuster to American
skill not in flying alone, but also in
building airships to bind nations into
closer understandings.
The. four mighty air liners swept
out of the south to Boiling Field on

With them came half dozen guided
by enthusiastic comrades.
The president had hardly arrived in
the stand erected for him, to be
greeted by the thunder of an artillery
salute and to find Secretaries Kel-

were in sight far down on the south

about were diplomats from all the
Pan-American countries, delegates to
the Pan American commercial confer

pany of distinguished officers of the
army navy and marine corps. Sew
eral thousand spectators journeyed
to the field to witness the end of the

A bank of white faces stared up
from the rim of the cleared field
below. Down they swept, then veered
away toward the Potomac in a ges-
ture of remembrance toward the
tomb of the unknown soldier beyond
the river. Then back again to circle
for the landing. The escort snirs
roared aside out of the way, and
down settled the great amphibeans,
spick and span with dope on wing
and paint on body, glitterng in the

humane thing to do for French cousins place our

French forget their obligations and rehabtate themselves

This idea it is predicted will have effect if it

great deal toward influencing Congress to efface the

Europeans do not like Americans these days at all Every
thing that IS American is taboo. Everything unAmercan is
popular Yet everyone in Europe who happens to be

In way it is too bad the American Legion will hold its
convention in Paris this fall for there to be trouble

few misguided souls advocate the cancellation Of the debt
