Handling "Vice"

Suppressive work in dealing with vicious
conditions is handled by direct representa-
tives of the commission, with whom are CO.
operating such organizations as the Com
mittee of Fourteen of New York the
Watch and Ward Society of New England,
the Committee of Fifteen of Chicago. the
Bureau Of Social Hygiene of New York,
and the American Social Hygiene Associa-
ton. Local pol ce organizations and sher-
IFS as well as the machinery Of the De-
partment Of Justice and the military pro-
Vost guards have been utilized in this
work. The special problem arising from
the presence of young girls in the vicinity
of the camps is handled by the Young
Women's Christian Association and by a
committee on protective work attached
t. the commission.

It's a mans size job-this of the COM
mission. The enormousnRss of the task is
evidenced by the fact that the commits
sion's activities are concerned with all
classes of camps and cantonments under the
jurisdiction of the War Department. Some
of these camps contain as many as $4,000
men-solders in the making, with home
ties temporarily broken. So the problem
of arranging and ordering their leisure
time opportunities must be met promptly
and effectively. Camp life must take on

CANADIAN COAL FOR THE FLEET?

It Is quite evident from statement regarding coal on the Pacific coast by one Henry S. Fleming chairman of the executive committee of the btuminous coal trade association that the coal dealers have expectations of early development of the Matanuska coal fields and ac ites for putting Alaska fuel in reach of the navy.
 Fleming points out that in view of the ship shortage
 number of ships used to carry coal from the east coast for the navy might be put at other work and from 4 to per ton saved fuel if the government would British Columbia coal He says the British Pacific fleet is using it instead of wasting the time of coiers by bringing Welch coal out via Suez He further says in an interview in the New York Times of May 18th:

TAX CONFERENCE AT
NOGALES JULY 23rd

The state tax commission has called
a meeting of the county assessors,
members of boards of supervisors and
state tax commission to be held in the
court house at Nogales during the
week beginning July %, 1917, at ten
o'clock a. m.
At this meeting the valuations on
all classes of property in the state will
be discussed, the object being to gath
board in securing just and equitable
equalization. Unusual Importance at
taches to the conference this year in
view of the greatly increased valua-
tions anticipated on most classes of
property.
Formerly the commission has re-
quired the attendance of all the clerks
Of the boards of supervisors and
ordered that the assessment rolls of
each county be brought to the meet
ing, but this year the commission, as
an experiment, is leaving the clerks
and the rolls at home, thus eliminat-
ing a considerable expense which in
the past has been the cause of much
criticism.
Special invitations have been is
sued to the representatives of nearly
every class of property, but the COM
mission extends a general invitation
to every taxpayer in the state to at
tend this conference, as the subjects
to be discussed will be of vital in
terest to everyone.
The chamber of commerce and
board of supervisors of Santa Cruz
county are preparing to make the visit
memorable to those attending the con-
ference and the commission antici-
pates large attendance.

FINISH SURVEYS
FOR NEW RAIL WAY

PRESCOTT, AriZ., July 6.-Survey-
ors have completed the survey for the
Phoenix and Prescott Short Line rail
road to be built south from Turkey
station on the Prescott and Eastern to
Glendale, ten miles north of Phoenix.
The new line will tap the Black Can
yon mining district and the entire
eastern slope of the Bradshaw noun
tains, where scores of mining proper
ties are awaiting the coming of easy
transportation. Work of construction
is to begin July Is.
The survey as now made will cross
the Aqua Fria river where it empties
into Black Canyon, and after passing
through the lower elevations of the
Bradshaw range emerges into open
country near the old camp of Gillette.
The grade will not exceed 235 per
cent.
Among the properties to be tapped
by the new road are the National
Amalgamated Copper company, in
which the hackers of the road are in
terested, the Kay mine, the old Tip
Top, the Harris Consolidated, Bar Cop
per, and a score of silver and tung-
stem properties.
E. H. Wilson of Seattle, vice presi-
dent of the new railroad company, is
in Prescott for the purpose of super
intending construction work.

The wise men Of our war govern
ment have said that business will be
good, but that it will be different in
a great many ways-"Business will
be good but different" They mean
that before the country gets through
with this war a lot of US may be do
ing different things and doing lots Of
things differently. One of the things
we are going to do differently is eat.
We can't wage a real honest-to-God
American war and eat as we have
eaten before. One reason is that the
rest of the world needs some of the
things we have been eating. 1t needs
lot of wheat. 1t doesn't need ALL
of our wheat, but it needs some of 1t.
1t needs some of our beef and other
products that can be shipped to
Europe This means that we must
eat more of the things that can't be
shipped, but which are perfectly good
eating.
For instance. there is fruit, which
grows in abundance and perishes if
not eaten. 1t can be eaten in many
ways-melons for breakfast, apples
for dessert, apple sauce any time,
grapes, cherries, berries, all kinds of
fruit sauce that require no wheat at
all for crusts. And there are vege-
tables in profusion-cucumbers rad
ishes. onions, squash and products
without limit All these make good
eating. And if we eat more of these
things and less of the others
Eating will be different But it will
be good, won't it?
Now, let's take up some ONE
thing. Let's take the substitution OF
corn for wheat. Instead of wheat
bread let's eat little johnny cake
now and then, corn mullins, corn pan
cakes, corn meal, corn pone and corn
everything. You'll be surprised how
good some of these things are, how
little they cost and how extensively
they can be made to take the place
of wheat.
