BUI ONE ROBBERY
Only one robbery and an attempted
hold tip were reported to officers dur
ing the 24 hours ending last niprht.
This lull in the rrime wave which ap
parently has struck Phoenix, officers
say, is the usual trend that such a
wave takes. One night several crimes
will be reported and then a lull will
follow, and then another burst.
Mrs. Rolla Garrity, 6 South Tenth
street, reported to the police last night
that thieves had entered her home and
ransacked the place. The burglars,
she said, took every article in an
ivory toilet set with the exception of
the hair brush. Nothing- else was
missing in the house, she said. The
robbery took place between 8 and 8:30
o'clock last nigt. she said, while she
was away from home.
Karly yesterday morninc: G. Brown,
a driver for a taxi serv ice, reported to
the sheriffs office that two masked
men had attempted to hold him up
near the Alhambra school. Brown
said he refused to stop and drove on
into town. The men. who he thought
were Mexicans, drove up to his car
in a Ford and commanded him to
throw up las' hands. His car, he said,
was moving slowly at the time and
he put on speed and left the holdup
men in the road. Both men, he said,
wore bandanna handkerchiefs over
their faces. The attempted hold up
took place about 2 o'clock in the morn
ing:.
Although several suspects are tin
tier surveillance no one has been ar
rested in connection with the many
recent holdups and robberies. Officers
believe all of the holdups have been
staged by the same two men, who
operate in a Ford car and drive from
place to place. They park their car.
officers believe, and after staging
holdup drive away.
o
A message from Prague states that
a method has been discovered of mak
ing more difficult the passing of a
forged bank note, says a Copenhagen
correspondent of the London Telegraph
The invention consists of imbedding
in the paper on which bank notes are
printed quantities of fine steel and
nickel particles. Such paper responds
to the attraction of a magnet and any
one can thus easily test the genuine
ness of a note.
O
Colombia has a species of catfish
which has achieved a reputatiort for
its climbing proclivities. One of tle
was watched by a naturalist and It
progressed a distance of eighteen fee
in half an hour, making its way over
a steep rock over which a stream o
water was passing In the opposite, di
rection. This is accomplished by the
means of a suction apparatus. There
are other fish with thit accomplish
ment In the Himalayas which have no
such apparatus, but whicii make their
way against the current and up strep
waterways, adhering to the rocks by
their smooth, ventral skin and enlarged
lips.

SINCE 1881
"MAKE IT SNAPPC"
There are those who believe modem
man does things more guickly than bis
forefathers; that he hustles to the
point of action and gets done with
what he has to do; that he "makes it
snappy." This is not handing our
ancestors a fair deal.
While It is true that we move faster
from one place to another than great
grandfather moved, we do not think
faster, talk faster, nor work faster.
We take aa much time to say our say,
and we do, if anything, say It in more
words. We don't, for instance, make
it as snappy as Caewar, when he came,
and conquered." The old rail
roader was "off . ag'in, on ag'in and
gone ag'in" in fewer words than the
modern reporter tells his story of a
railroad wreck.
Just now the English-speaking world
is deluged with words telling how. 300
years ago, the Pilgrim fathers came
to I'lvmouth. But on that December
day Mourt's Journal told the whole
story of the finding of the harbor, the
exploration of the nearby land, and the
decision to make it their iy rmanent
home, in 3 a words.
We travel from Plymouth, England,
to Plymouth, Mass., much faster than
the Pilgrims did, but we, on the oth
er hand, waste more words telling
about it.

EATING THINGS IN CUBA
We only get that fairy fruit, the tie
banana, which is one of the joys of a
visit to Cuba, when a northward
bound passenger or an enterprising
member of some crow persuades the
steward to help him bring us a little
cargo of them. Dealers in fine fruit
are always glad to receive thorn in any
quantity, for they are so piquant in
appearance and rich in flavor that they
are- sold as soon as seen. They are no
bigger than your linger.
Cuba, alas, is most noted for delica
cies that could in no wise be brought
to New York. To enjoy coco frio prop
erly you must sip this milk of the
freshly split cocoanut which an epi
cure has described as "palely sweet"
out of the shell through a straw, the

But guavas in many different forms
are ours. Guava paste is the most fa

cream are obtainable, too, and . at a
few delicatessen stores may be found
guava skins In glass Jars, preserved
like any other fruit. The seeds have
all been taken out. muskmelon fashion,
and only the detectable outer part
left. For pleasant as the aromatic,
rather astringent taste is in the raw
guava, they would be bulky and ua-' t
