THE CAR SHORTAGE
May Be Relieved by Close
Observance Of Rules Of
Railway Association

The Arizona Council of De-
fense has received a large num-
ber of communications relative
to the difficulty now being ex-
perienced at various shipping
points within the State in secur-
ing an adequate supply of rail-
road cars. This particularly is
affecting the mining and cattle
industries, with shortage also re-
ported of transportation for for
age crops. The situation is es-
pecially grave where cattle are
to be shipped.
This matter has been taken up
with Chairman Epes Randolph,
of the Transportation Committee
of the Council of Defense, who,
from Tucson, has asked that
upon shippers and railway men
be urged the Importance of OBJ
serving rules that have been pre-
pared by the American Railway
Association through it's special
committee on national defense.
In the East. observance of these
rules already has secured 80 per
cent increased efficiency of equip.
ment. These rules follow:
l. To the Receiver of Freight
a. Purchase in the nearest
market.
b. Be prepared to store the
full contents of the largest
freight car.
c. Bunch your orders so as to
make full car load lots.
d. If you can't order by car
load, arrange to pool car load
shipments.
e. Unload cars promptly.
2. To the Shipper of Freight
a. Load heavy commodities
! in all cases up to 10 per cent in
excess of the marked carrying
capacity of each car, unless spec
ial instructions have been issued
by the railroads with reference
to certain classes of equipment
to exceed the 10 per cent. in
which case special instructions
will apply.
b. Load lightweight or bulky
freight to full cubical capacity of
car.
c. Have your sh hipm n is
ready for immediate loading on
receipt of charge.
d. Arrange your shipment
in car so as to permit prompt un-
loading.
e. See that packages are
loaded to eliminate damage in
transit.
f. Where you have been
shipping less than car load freight
daily and sending via transfer
point, hold shipment two or three
days, to make up full car loads
and bill to destination.
G. Use drays or motor trucks
instead of "trap.car" service and
avoid use of freight cars for
moving food within the same
city.
h. Load in day and time
your loading to suit departure of
trains.
i. Give billing agent full in
structions that will permit way
bill being made up before load
ing is completed.
j. Consign shipment to final
destination wherever possible.
and discourage shipments that
require changing destination in
transit.
X. Do not bill shipments by
a circuitous route in order to
avoid the effect of embargoes.
The State Council of Defense
urges that these rules be given
the widest publicity and be OBJ
served wherever possible, as the
condensation of the best iudg-

TWO GOOD LAWS

WV
AS a means of further carry
ing out the law which prohibits
the sale of tobacco in any form
or cigarette papers to minors un-
der q years of age, the action
of the Common Council to also
prohibit the practice of minors
under 2l years of age of playing
cards in all public places in town
will help materially in securing
the benefits that will come to all
minors in putting a stop to these
practices.
Our young boys, after they
have left school and secured en-
ployment, should be kept free of
the tobacco habit to the end that
they may never acquire it during
their minority and thus lead
them away from the influence of
Lady Nicotine" and save them
for cleaner and better manhood.
In accomplishing this the real
good of the law will be seen, as
very few men, having never
smoked or chewed tobacco in
their youth, will acquire so vile
a habit.
In regard to the card playing
vice, anything that will help pre-
vent the gambling instinct in
herent in every human ever get
ting so strong foothold as to
keep boys, from the time they
leave school and seek work at
some trade or other occupation,
until they have reached the age
of manhood, neglectful of the
moral duty they owe to them
selves and their parents, must
be manifest to every right think
ing person.
There is no vice so harmful to
young boys as gambling; no habit
that makes loafers so quickly of
boys that have been trained to
better things than that of card
playing for money, and the best
safeguard for the young boy will
be to prohibit the playing of
cards by minors in public places.
In enforcing both of these laws
there will be little trouble for
the owner of a public place where
card playing is allowed, to stop
boys from playing. The selec-
tive draft law has provided the
means every young man q
years of age, now at home, must
show his card or an exempt but
ton furnished him by the local
draft board. If he has either, it
will be proof that he has ap-
peared before the board for ex-
animation, called there by reason
of his being of draft age. If he
has no card or exempt button,
he is a minor and subject to the
provisions of the law. If he has
attained the age of 21 years since
the call was made last June, it
will be a matter of easy proof
by parents or guardians.

these little courtesies and honors,
even at the expense of some
slight conspicuousness, will SC
educate the people of Arizona
that all persons who do not OBJ
serve them will soon find that
they are the ones who are con-
spicuous.
Flags fly from stationary poles.
In military posts and commands,
a beautiful ceremony, called
Retreat" takes place at sun
down every day of the year, dur
ing which the flag is lowered to
the music of the Star Spangled
Banner. While being so low
cred and during the music. all
persons are expected to stand at
attention, facing the flag with
the right hand in the position of
salute. If in civilian clothes,
with the hat on, it is removed
during the ceremony and placed
over the left breast. No other
salutes are rendered to flags.
Colors are national or regi-
mental flags carried by troops or
other organizations. They are
saluted at all times whenever
they pass within thirty PAGES of
an Individual or of an organiza-
ton. The individual standing at
attention, facing the colors as
they approach, coming to the
salute with the right hand and
remaining in that position until
the colors have passed. If in civil
ian clothes, with hat on, it should
be removed and placed over the
left breast as the flag approaches
and held there until it has past.
'The Star Spangled Banner
has been officially adopted as the
national anthem of the United
States. All other patriotic pieces
have their place in stirring the
patriotic sentiment of the people,
but no honors are accorded to
them. Whenever THE Star
Spangled Banner" is played, at
any place, all persons within the
immediate vicinity should stand
at attention facing the music,
coming to the salute with the
right hand and retaining it in
that position until the last note
has been completed. If in civil
ian clothes, with hat on, it should
be removed and placed over the
left breast during the music.
In all cases, while standing
at attention, silence and i'm
mobility should be preserved.
Ladies would not be expected to
remove their head dress, but
should stand at attention and
preserve silence, as do the men.
While holding the hat over the
left breast, no attempt should be
made to salute. In rendering the
salute with the right hand, raise
the hand smartly till the tip of
the forefnger touches the lower
part of the head dress or fore
head above the right eye, fore
arm inclined at about as degrees,
hand and wrist straight.
The National Anthem should
be played through without repe-
tition of any part not required to
make it complete. 1t should

Eighteen railroad companies operat-

ton of the Virginia and West Virginia
Demurrage bureau asking that the de-
murpage charges for the state of yir-
ginia be made to conform to those of
the National Car and Demurrage bu-
reau. Considerable opposition de-
veloped against the whole or a part
of the plan OF imposing demurrage
charges. After the hearing the mat
ter was taken under advisement by
the commission, and attorneys for
each side were requested to submit
briefs in the case.
The Virginia and West Virginia De-

1t is the contention of the Virginia

the adoption Of the national plan will

will increase the availability of cars

that many mistakes occur now on ac
