Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-01-22

In order that boys and young men
of Douglas may continue to enjoy
swimming, physical, social and other
privileges of the Douglas Young Mems
Christian association for another year,
at a cost to them which they are
able to meet, friends of the associa-
ton will tomorrow begin six day
campaign for $2500. This amount
represents the difference between the
regular income of the "Yn which
it receives from the industrial inter-
ests, the Southern Pacific, its revenue
features, and regular membership
fees, and its operating expense.
1t has been pointed out by the
board of directors and others that if
the full cost of operating any Y. M.
C. A. were charged pro-rata as a
membership fee the rates would be SO
high that the average person would
be unable to join. It is to make up
this difference that practically all
". M. G. AIS are compelled to secure
a certain per cent of their income in
the form of contributions from the
public.
The amount asked from the people
of Douglas is comparatively low owing
to the generosity of the above men
toned sources of income. In fact,
were it not for the industrial inter
ests of the community, and the
Southern Pacific, it is very doubtful
if Douglas would be able to support
"Y'' any, where near the size OF
the present institution, according to
statements which have been made
by national representatives OF the x.
M G. A.
It has also been pointed out that
the operating budget of the Doug
las association is small, in fact, the
second smallest in the state, but that
it's program compares favorably with
the largest associations in Arizona.
The local budget is carefully scrutin-
lied by a committee consisting of H.

MESA OPENS HER
COMMUNITY HOTEL
FOR PUBLIC'S USE

MESA, Jan. 21.-Mesa's dream of
years, q first class tourist and COM
nercial hotel, became a reality when
5he new EI Portal hotel opened to the
public Friday night. El Portal is the
latest link in the great Hamilton hotel

strictly a community project, cul-

Opening of Ell Portal is regarded by
Mesa citizens and residents of the val

step forward made by the progressive
city in months. 1t places

THEY ASK FOR $500 TO AID
YIN. CA DURING THIS YEAR
in WORK FOR MEN AND BOYS

Albert Stacy, and all items which can
be cut have been paired to the min
imum.
The building occupied by the local
organization was constructed 20 years
ago, and it is now beginning to show
signs of quite rapid deterioration. The
board of directors has determined that
if it is at all possible the building
should be repaired this year and put
in first class condition, after which
it will be somewhat easier to keep
it that way. With that thought in
mind they have allowed reasonable
amount in the budget, but on the
other hand will need little more
from the public than in 1927. The
sum realized a year ago from the
annual campaign was $1,000; this year
they are asking 5000 increase or for
$2500
A constant practice of the local as
sociation is to buy everything in
Douglas which can be had here and
which is used by the "Y." For that
reason many subscriptions are taken
in trade and the amount is thereby
increased. That policy will again be
followed in the present campaign.
It is understood that all contribu-
tions are acceptable, whether small
or large, and may be made direct to
the Y. M. c. A. or given to Henry
Williams at the Bank of Douglas.
Also, that any amount of money sub
scribed may be applied on a boys or
regular membership if so stated.

SIX FOOT DISC
OPTICAL GLASS
YEARS

WASHINGTON Jan. 21 Rl-T'ri
u1nph finally has crowned three
year effort of the bureau Of standards
to cast a six foot disc Of optical
glass.
Four previous attempts TO create
the disc, as first step toward the
building of one of the largest re-
flecting astronomical telescopes ever
undertaken, were unsuccessful because
after months of labor the three ton
mass of molten glass failed to cool
without cracking or cooled with i'm
perfections that ruined it.
Today the electrical furnace, in
which the glass mixture had been
cooling since May z, 1927, was opened,
and the contents, a. single rough disc
of glass IL inches thick, and 70 inchN
in diameter, was found to be prac-
tically perfect. It will now be drilled
and polished and if it survives tllab
delicate operation it will be installed
at the Perkins observatory of Ohio
Wesleyan university
Only twice before, both times out
side of the United States, have
optical workers been able to attain
success in casting a disc Of optical
glass CT the size required, and the
two completed discs were made in
layers and have had minor inlper7
fections.

END OF WORLD
IS THE THEME
OF EVANGELIST

Those who heard DIR. E. E. Violette
at the Christian church last night
considered his message one of the
most interesting and Illuminating they
had heard. His subject was, "The
End of the World" from Matthew
25th chapter. The sermon was new
View interpreting the scriptural refer
enceS to the end Of the world. He
told how in childhood, he heard a
preacher tell with certainty that the
world was to end on June 3Oth and
how his faith was shaken when he
saw the Barnun and Bailey show
advertised for the first of July. He
Illustrated how new interest may be
created in the Bible when the customs
of the Arabs are known from which
many beautiful figures of the Bible
are taken. For instance, he said
/ that the Arabs journey on donkey
back and forth with Q, lighted candle
fastened at night to each sandal thus
Illustrating the expression of David,
''Ihy Word is a lamp to my feet and
"a light to my path"
After quoting many scriptural pas
Seges on the Judgment and the end
of the world, from Matt. 25; John
12:48-50; Rev. 20:11-15, he said thai
these judgments have already taken
place and are taking place every
day. The man who is wrong now
and rejects Gods mercy and Christ's
words are being judged now, and
ttatt in the end at the final iudg-
rlent of God would be judged by
the words of Christ they had heard
and rejected, when righteousness will
be preserved and ungodliness will be
cast out. The evangelist stated thai
some who do wrong think that be-
cause some individuals here escape
judgment that they need not think
that because they are in the crowd
they will escape the judgment Of
God
"But the real Christian" said DR..
Violette, will not be judged, for there
is no condemnation to them that are
in Christ Jesus says the divine writer.
Death does not change the character,
neither does death change the mercy
and justice of Gods plans"
Dr. Violette referred to Bruce Bar
toms statement that no thoughtful
man today believed in hell to which
he replied, what do we care about
what men say about hell and sin
when we see the trail of woe con-
stantlY before us?
Dr. Violette did not picture a literal
he'll of literal fire and birthstone but
he said that the destruction and
Judgment meted out to men, and
cities blotted out for violating Gods
laws were only foretaste to what
they might expect in the final judg-
ment.
In discussing the second coming of
Christ Dr. Violette said, "Christ has
alrcady come, is here now, but will
come again"
DR.. Violette's subject at IL a. m.
will be, "The Charmed Life" The
evening subject, "The Man of To-
morrow" Ps. go.
AT $3.50 p m. he will deliver his
great lecture on "The Evolution OF
Peace" on international relations.

FINGER PRINT
BUREAU URGED
BY POLICEMEN

Deputy Sheriff O. A. Ash of this city
is preparing in his capacity as vice
president of the Arizona Peace Of
ficers' association and member of the
committee to secure finger print leg
islation in the state, to launch d drive
to secure a finger print bureau at
Phoenix Ash and Assistant Chief of
Police A. B. Murchison carry on the
finger printing activities for the police
of Douglas and for the Cochise county
sheriff's office, but they have found,
especially lately, that there is a woe
full lack of state wide cooperation in
the work. s
At the last annual convention of the
Arizona Peace Officers association, the
membership body went on record as
favoring legislation providing for the
establishment of state finger print
bureau at Phoenix AS the time for
the next seSsionsof the state legislature
drawns near an intensive campaign
will be put on by the members of the
association and determined effort
will be made to secure the enactment
of this legislation.
This will provide for the establish
ment of a state finger print bureau in
Phoenix such as is already in opera
ton in a number of states, and will
make compulsory the finger printing
of every person accused of a major
crime. This bill will not, however,
make it necessary for every small town
to employ a finger print expert, as
finger prints may be taken by anyone,
and can then be forwarded ito the state
finger print bureau for classification
Other states, among them the state
of California, have already been very
successful in establishing and in the
operation of state finger print bureaus
such as it is proposed to establish in
Arizona, and it is believed that the
creation of such bureau will do much
toward crime prevention. The cities
of Phoenix, Douglas, Tombstone, Tue
son and Nogales and others have al
ready achieved excellent results from
the use of finger prints and it was
largely by this means that Roy Gard
ner, the notorious mail bandit, was ap-
pretended and identified in Phoenix.
There are now a large number of
crooks doing time in the Florence
prison from different counties in the
state that have plead guilty as charged
thereby saving the tremendous expense
of jury trial in court, when they were
confronted with the fact that their
finger prints were found at the scene
of the crime. This is true in a large
number of cases in the city of Doug
las, in the last few years, records
show.
In the Hickman case if the city of
