Co!ored Rain.

Showers Of red rain have fallen
more than once in the worlds his
tory. In the middle ages they were
looked upon as awful omens of war
and bloodshed, but nowadays we
know the hue of the "rain of blood"
to be due to the presence of tiny
red insect, variety of water flea.
Red rains are very rare, but in vol
canlc. regions gray rain is compare,
lively common. Sicily has had many
showers of this Shade. They are
caused by the upper atmosphere be-
ing full of ash colorcd volcanic dust
from Etna. This dust is infnitesi-

Bagwornns.

A great many shade trees were
attacked last summer by the bag
worm. While not extremely in
furious, except when in large
numbers, these worms are capa-
BILE of doing much harm. Dur
imp the winter and early spring
small slender bags may be seen
hanging from the twigs. They
are about two and a half inches
long and are made of silk, leaf
stems and leaf fragments. The
best method of ridding the trees
of the pest is to remove these
bags. They contain masses Of
eggs. The present timg is about
the best opportunity for doing
this, as with the, coming of the
leaves, the bags are difficult to
see.

Harding's Amendment.
Senator Harding has offered an

scription army bill authorizing the

isions, the amendment provides.

twenty-five years and under for
tyfve years of age, and there
fore will not interfere in any way
with the selectiIe conscription
plan which will only take men
between the ages of nineteen and
twenty-five. The conscriL tive
plan necessarily takes a long de-
lay, whereas volunteers can come
at once and the volunteer divis.
ions could be gotten ready for
action many months before the
conscripts could be made availa-
BILE. The moral effect of one
hundred thousand men of mature
years volunteering for foreign
service would set a splendid ex-
ample and would reconcile any
adverse public sentiment to the
draft. The Harding amendment

HUGE DEBTS BURDEN
BIG OHIO CITIES
Liquor Traffic Causes Expenses
TO Soar.

Columbus, Ohio.--According to the
report of the State Auditor for 1915
the funded and unfunded debts of the
70 cities of the state aggregate $685.
293,540. Of this huge debt. more
than two-thirds is owed by the five
cities of Cleveland, Cincinnati, Colum-
bus, Toledo and Dayton.
For the year 1914, according to the
Auditor of State, the cost of the DO
lice to the cities of Ohio aggregated
$3,317,476.75. This item cost the five
cities above mentioned more than
two-thlrds Of the entire sum. In fact
the cost of the police in these five
cities was $2,394,S08.25.
The salaries Of policemen, office ex
pense, sustenance Of prisoners, etc,
cost Cincinnati $1.98 per capita for
the year; Cleveland, $1.53; Dayton.
$1.21; Columbds, $1.16; Toledo, 81. .25
Compare the per capita cost of police
departments in these big wet centers
with Sc cents in dcy Ashland, SO cents
IN dry Van Vert, 81 cents in dry
Athens, 43 cents in dry Bellefontaine |
and ID cents in dry Cambridge.
Ii Cincinnati's police force and
maintenance of prisoners cost only as
much per capita as the police force
of dry Athens, she would pay for
this item $136,739.50 instead of $780,
$685.. On this item alone she would
save in a year $660,226.35. This is
third more than the entire sum Gin

1t is worth remembering that while
hese five wet cities have two-thirds
# the saloons of the state, with the

Confronted by the slackers in

President was compelled to call
upon the patriotism of the Re

the first time that he has deigned
to consider the better half of tho

the President will not continue to
insist that the cooperation shall
be altogether one-sided. The
Republican votes which. he will
frequently need will be produced
without reluctance. He should
reciprocate by taking Republicans

MAYBE \ SOCIETY
 IF THE "NO. 258''
(Harford Courant)

Possibly after the war there will be the Society of the No. 25S. Some of the possessOrs of that red ink number are even now proud of it, and pride in the number will grow as the years go by. Those of the first men called under the draft law who come out of the war alive will quite naturally be inspired with a. desire to retain the distinction which became theirs by the accident of the lottery that de- cided the order in which the con- scripted men should be called Even though the honor is accidental it will be, nevertheless highly regarded.
 This idea gets a good start from a young man in Brooklyn who was born in Italy. He is twenty nine years old and a tailor, and when he learned that he had been among the first to be called he set about the job of cele- brating. Above the door of his shop he placed a white placard on which was printed in red white and blue letters the words: Celebrate. First to be called. No. 25S. J. D. Cachio. Above this placard, for three stories up, he hung flags and bunting, and self and some friends. Tt is great honor we of the No. 25S have,''s he says. We of the No. 25S. That has the sound of a slogan. Gentlemen of the No. 25S, we salute you We con- graduate you. We wish you all well and we hope to have you all back with us when your task abroad ie completed.

M 'A[EER WILL
 AGAIN TAKE UP
 AUTO BUSINESS

Friends of J. J. McAleer, who are legion, will be glad to learn that he has returned to Phoenix, and within short time will identify himself with one of the leading auto sales companies in the city. For the past few months he has been at the bed side of his wife, who a short time ago underwent a serious operation in a San Jose hospital. The latter is slowly convalescing from the ill- ness.
 MT. McAleer will be remembered as the popular salesman of the Oliver Typewriter company and late with the Byrns-Ray Cadillac com pany. Although it was as state rep resentative of the Oliver Typewriter company that he established his en- viable reputation as a salesman, he scores his signal success when he accepted the managership of the Byrns-Ray Cadillac company,
 During his connection with these two concerns he time and again demonstrated his ability as an or ganizer and a salesman. While con nected with the typewriter company he established the reputation of being the most efficient organizer representing the company in the en- tire United States.
 However it was with the Byrns- Ray Cadillac company that his real ability was tested But he rallied to the task and within a short time built the business of this concern uT to tremendous figure. In fact, 1t is said that it was due to his earnest ness and integrity that the car be- came so popular here within short off h ic ta1r o1,o fairs. Up to the time he resigned, month ago, he had established record in the sale of the Cadillac.
 Just which of the enterprising au- tomobile firms in the city will be fortunate to obtain the services of MT. McAleer is not known. However, it is rumored that he is to be ideni- fled with one of the largest automo- Lille concerns in Phoenix.

the summit of his profession by sheer merit. He was, however, one of those men for whom wonderful ability for finding the means to the end which characterized many of his campaigns was characteristic of all he did.
 He had set his heart, for instance, on soldering, and so on, somehow or other it became possible for him to leave the home of the village school master and go to Belgrade and the mil- itary school. Money was scarce, but young PutniII was eager for the work. and, when he had finished his own la bCrious days of study and exercise, he would earn the whereWithal to go on by coaching his fellow students, and teaching the arts of his calling, in which he greatly exceled.
 Like many other great soldiers, Gen eral Putnik possessed a remarkable memory and remarkable powers of ob- servation. He always remembered the salient features of territory he had once visited, and he knew Serbia all most by rote, every hill and stream almost, even every turn in it's roads and bypaths. So much, indeed, was this the case that it used to be re- marked that in following the dis patches of his generals he had no need of map, and, without the aid of one, he would discuss with his staff the topography of the most difficult opera tions.
 Such familiarity with his country was, of course, the result of long years of service, for when General Putnik led the retreating but unvanquished, Serbian forces over the mountains of Albania to the sea. in the winter of 1915, he had almost forty years of service to his credit
 The Russo Turkish war of 1877 was his first experience of active warfare.
 Some eight years later, in the war against Bulgaria, he was chief of staff of the division of the Danube The war was disastro to Serhia. and

BABB|TT-POLSON
 CONCERN ABSORBS
 BORDERLAND CO.

The largest deal to be consumated in automobile circles in Phoenix for many years was closed yesterday by the Babbitt- Poison company, when they took over the entire line of high class cars handled by the Borderland Motor company, with the exception of the Haynes. The Mar tins have retained the Haynes line and have moved their saIesroom to the service station on West Wash ington, which they have conducted for some time and will be known in the future as the Martin Brothers Haynes distributors.
 Although rumors predicting the ab sorption of the Borderland company have been rife in business circles for some time, it was not until yester- day that negotiations reached such stage that the transfer was per fected.
 However, according to officials of both concerns the deal had been pend ing for some time and but awaited the adjustment of some minor details for the actual transfer. The figure at which the transfer was made is not known, but it is said to reach a good sized sum. Manager w. E. Gardner, of the Babbitt- Poison con- pany, engineered the deal.
 Ever since the inception of the Borderland company last March, off cials of the Babbitt- Poison had tried to interest the former concern in an amalgamation. The reason for the negotiations was due to the excel lent line of cars which the Border land handled. AS a result of the deal the following line of cars will be added to the present high class list of vehicles sold by the Babbitt- Poison company: The Chandler, StutZ and Hupmobile.
 Along with the transfer of the sales right agencies of the cars handled by the Borderlard Motor company was included Manager M L. Burkhead, who during his connec- tion with the company built up a large and substantial business.
 The Babbitt- Poison company an- nounces that the policy in the sell ing of the newly acquired line of automobiles will be the same as here tofore, and that purchasers will be matched dollar for dollar with ser vice obtained from the cars bought.

 Bedra is a Syrian, is married ana has one child. He is not naturalized. A member of an exemption board said he did not need to shoot himself to escpe the draft, because he had a good claim for exemption in the fact that he had deDendents.
