W. o. Wallingford. local architect, claims to be the first man in Phoenix to respond to the national appeal to rCarry it yourself Yesterday he was seen to pass about town carrying a big brown wicker market basket As he went home for his monday meal the basket was carried home filled with groceries and vegetables
 The stores are enthusiastic about this form of economy and claim that if the practice becomes universal a big economic waste of delivery cars can be eliminated and that it will pro mote a practice of paying cash for goods The result naturally will be lesser prices to take up the waste. Not only is this true of vegetables and groceries, but of meats as well. More over, it gives the buyers an Opportun- ity to select and to know just Vha, ls heIng furnished.

WANTS OVERTIME
ORDER 'ANNULLED
Mrs. Gait Protests Against
Longer Hours for Bureau
of Engraving.

Protest against increase OF hours OF
work for employees Of the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing was made to
Secretary McAdoo today by Mrs. Car
rie Chapman Gait, head OF the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage As
sociation.
Mrs. Gait calls upon Secretary Nc
Adoo mot to let the Government set
an example as an employer that will
make the workers of the country bear
the heaviest burden OF the war"
Mrs. Gait points out that when the
National Association offered the serv-
ices OF its members for war duty II
also pledged itself to protect women
workers and asks that the order be
annulled. Mrs. Cats letter to Secre-
tary McAdoo in part follows:
May / point out, Mr.. Secretary, that
the health of women workers Is one
of the most vital factors in q nations
welfare, either in war or peace; and
that Great Britain's experience in this
present war has demonstrated the in
efficiency OF long hours? We are told
that the diminished output under the
increased strain upon the workers
forced the government to return TO
normal standards in order to meet the
emergency requirement."

Ambassador EI<us Stricken

Word of the illness of Mr.. Elkus,
the Ambassador to Turkey, who is
suffering an attack Of typhus, recalls
the fact that the American Embassy
at Constantinople has for months
past devoted itself at much hardship
and no little risk of health to hu-
name care for the Christians, the war
captives, and others under the Sui
tan's rule. Typhus has been prev
alent in and about Constantinople
itself for most of that time. The
risk of infection was one of the dam
gers of the trade of ministering to
thousands of the afflicted
Although it is not generally known,
owing to the lack of news from that
quarter, the American Embassy at
Constantinople, so it was lately re-
ported, was in touch with some 40
900 persons in need of food, clothing,
medical attention, or protection. A
great, organized relief work has been
carried on, less important than that
of Hoover and Brand Whitlock, but
carried on under greater drawbacks
in many respects.
Mr.. Elkus' recovery will be hoped
for by Americans everywhere. He
has been laid low in a genuine serv-
ice to humanity, where such service
was attended with peril. When we
know more of his actions in Turkey
we shall better realize what he has
done and rank him with those other
worthy servants, Herrick, Whitlock,
and Gerard.

The Human Side of BaIfour

1t was Enthusiastically English
for Mr.. Balfour to slip away from
his residence yesterday afternoon,
start on an automobile ride through
Rock Creek Park, and then to desert
the automobile and take lcng walk
through its winding paths studying
the trees and the flowers and the
birds. He is a many-sided man, and
his position in the world Of states
manship and the importance Of his
mission to America do not prevent
his enjoyment of the simple things
of life. His fame as an author is as
great as his distinction as a diplo-
mat, and in his hours of ease, when
the war is over, his facile pen may
compose some such study Of the nat
ural beauty of the environs Of Wash
ington as our own John Burroughs
wrote concerning the birds OF Rock
Creek Park.

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
The attorney for certain milk
dealers who desire to distribute
among their customers milk from un-
licensed, uninspected farms, without
labelling such milk to show their Gus
toners its character. makes the point
that in Baltimore, where that practice
is tolerated, milk sells fok 4 cents
a gallon less than 1t does in Wash
ington. He fails, however, to take
into consideration the quality Of the
milk distributed In the two cities.
There is no index to the quality Of
the milk supplied to the community
quite SO sensitive as the number OF
deaths from diarrhoeal diseases In
infancy, the milk feeding period.
other things being equal, a good milk
supply means a low infant death rate.
and a poor milk supply means the
unnecessary deaths of many babies.
Summer is pre-eminently the period
of diarrhoeal diseases among Infants:
and IL we compare the infant death
rate In Baltimore in June, July.
August and September, 1916, with the
corresponding death rate in the Dis
trict during the same period, We
should be able to determine the rela-
tive character OF the milk supplies.
Infant death rates are properly
computed on the basis of reported
births; that Is, the infant death rate
represents the number of infants who
died within a given period in proper
tion OF the number OF births reported
during the same period.
In Baltimore, during the summer
OF 1916, for every 1000 births of
white infants reported, the reported
deaths numbered 122. In Washing
ton. for every 1000 white births re-
ported, deathers numbered but 93.
Computed upon the basis of popula-
ton. the death rate of white infants
IN Baltimore for June, July. August,
and September, 1916, was 106 per
100 900. The corresponding death rate
foy the District OF Columbia was g.
Possibly the attorney can give some
explanation for the greater infant
mortality in Baltimore compared with
Washington other than the cheap
ness of the milk supply OF Baltimore.
II so, / hope he will enlighten the
community upon the subject. In the
mean" nne' hO"eNer' peheNS that
the people OF Washington will prefer
to save their babies, even IL they
to pay cents a gallon extra for milk
in order that the babies may not un-
necessarily s'cken and die. Anr it
may be added that probably what
Washington pays as the price of a
good milk supply II saves in doCtors'
bilIs and funeral expenses.

The Dent Conspiracy

The hands of the army officers re-
sponsible for the effectiveness of our
military organization have been tied
to date by the refusal of Congress to
give them the one essential for max
ing an army-men. Should the cow
ardly and anti-American course rec
commended by Chairman Dent of the
House Committee on Military Affairs
and his majority associates in that
committee be adopted the hands of
the military chiefs of the Govern
ment will be lashed fast perma-
nently. For the one purpose of this
recommendation is to prevent the Sc
curing of men for the United States
army.
In the face Of the fact that the vol
unteer system not only failed to fur
nish the men needed for the recent
mobilization on the Mexican border
but is also failing to furnish prompt
ly enough the $4,000 men needed
for the initial force to be sent over
seas, according to the Administra-
tion's program, Mr.. Dent and his as
sociates would compel the President
to adhere to that system indefinitely.
He would be authorized to use Sc
lective conscription only after get
ting his first 100000 volunteers and
finding it impossible to get 100000
more by the same method 'in the
event it becomes necessary to raise
an additional force" of that size.
If this construction of what the
Dent committees recommendations
actually say is correct the organiza-
tion of an American army wou'd be
effectually prevented by their adop-
ton. Mr.. Dent and his accomplices
The Washington times., 1917-04-23

have conspired, in other words, to
prevent the United States from put
ting men into the field-to avenge the
unspeakable wrongs we have suf-
fered at the hands of truculent ag-
gressor, to vindicate our good name
among the nations, and to fight be-
side the soldiers of our allies to up
hold world liberty. There is no other
inference to be drawn regarding the
intentions of these anti-conscription
Congressman.
For, as we have demonstrated al
ready, at the present rate of enlist
ments six months will be required at
the very least to get the first $4,000
volunteers, without allowing time for
training and organization. If the
President must wait until he gets his
first 100000 volunteers before call
ing for the second 100000 and must
then wait indefinitely to see whether
he will get the second 100000 before
resorting to selective conscription it
is plain that the United States will
not be ready to organize a real army
before the war has been won by our
allies. This, in fine, is the aim Of
the Dent conspiracy-to let the Eng
lish and the French and the Russians
and the Serbians and the Belgians
and the rest of the allies fight our
battles for US.
A more cowardly purpose or q pur-
pose more inimical to the welfare Of
the United States is impossible of
conception. We are confident that
the overwhelming majority of clear
sighted, patriotic Congressman will
see through. this miserable plot Of
the Dent ring and hearken to the
earnest adjuration of President Will
son to- defeat it.
