McADOO EXPLAINS WAR
 INSURANCEPLAN BYU.S.

To the Officers and Enlisted Men and
 Women of the Army and Navy of
 the United States and Their Rela.
 tives:
 The secretary of the treasury, through the bureau of war risk insur- ance, has been charged with the ad- ministration of the war insurance law enacted by the congress as a measure of justice to the men and women who have been called to give their lives, if need be. in the service of their coun- try.
 wish tc acquaint you with the ben efits and privileges which your gov ernment has placed at your disposal. It is essential that you and your families at home should know of your and their rights under this law in or der that full advantage may be taken of them.
 To care for the wife and children of the enlisted man during his serv- | ice, the war insurance law compels him to contribute up to one-half of his pay for their support. The govern ment, on application, will generously add to this an allowance of from $5 to $50 a month, according to the size of the family. Moreover, if. the en- listed man will make some further provision himself for dependent pa rent, brother, sister, or grandchild, they may be included in the govern ment allowance.
 If, as a result of injuries or disease contracted in the line of duty, an off cer or enlisted man or an army or navy nurse should be disabled, pro- vision is made for compensation of from S30 to $100 a month to him, and, should he die, compensation of from S20 to S75 a month will be paid to his wife, his child, or his widowed mother.
 In order, however, fully to protect each person and family, congress has made it possible for every soldier, sailor, and nurse to obtain life and total-disability insurance. This insur- ance applies to injuries received while he or she is in the service or after he or she shall have left it.
 Exposure to the extra dangers of war makes the cost of life insurance in private life insurance companies prohibitive It was, therefore, a plain duty and obligation for the govern ment to assume the risk of insuring hundreds of thousands of our soldiers and sailors who are making the su- preme sacrifice. Under this law, ev- cry soldier and sailor and nurse, com missioned and enlisted, and of any age, has the right, between now and Febru- ary 12, 1918, to take out life and total disability insurance up to S10,0O0 at very low cost, with the government without medical examination. This right is purely optional. The soldiers

The University of Arizona presents the following relative to "The Eli ouette of the Flag" for the instruction of all good red-blooded Americans who are for the United States at all times, in peace or in war. It is hoped that the observance of these little cour- tesies and honors, even at the expense of some slight conspicuousness, will so educate the people of Arizona that all persons who do not observe them will soon find that they are the ones who are conspicuous.
 Flags fly from stationary poles. In military posts and commands a beau tiful ceremony, called Retreat" takes place at sundown every day of the year, during which the flag is lowered to the music of the Star Spangled Banner. While being so lowered and during the music all persons are ex- pected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand in the posi- tion 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 regimental flags carried by troops or other or ganizations. They are saluted at all times whenever they pass within thir- ty paces of an individual or of an or ganization. The individual standing at attention facing the color as it ap- breaches coming to the salute with the right hand and remaining in that position until it has passed. If in civilian clothes with hat on it should

and sailors are not compelled to take insurance, but if they oesnre to exer- else the right, they must do so before the 18th of February, 1918. The cost ranges from 65 cents monthly, at the age of 21, to $1.2O monthly, at the age of 51, for each 5000 of insurance. This is small charge on a mans pay in proportion to the benefits it may bring. The premiums will be deducted from his pay, if he desires, thus eliminating trouble on his part.
 To provide adequate protection until February 12, 1918, during the period when the soldiers and sailors are learning the details of this law, the government automatically insures each man and woman, commissioned or enlisted in the military service of the United States. It pays the man $25 a month during total permanent disability; if he dies within 20 years, it pays the rest of 240 monthly in stallments of S25 each to his wife, child, or widowed mother.
 l desire to call the provisions of this just and generous law to the at tention of our officers and enlisted men and women so that they may not be deprived of their rights through lack of knowledge. Full information may be obtained from the bureau of war risks insurance of the treasury department, Washington, D. c. ear nestly urge that the officers of the army and navy give to the men un- der their command all possible aid in helping them to understand fully the benefits that this insurance may bring to their families and the small cost at which it may be obtained.
 This IS the greatest measure of pro- lection ever offered to its fighting forces by any nation in the history of the world. It is not charity; it is sim ply justice to the enlisted men and women and to their loved ones at home, and each and every one of them should promptly take the benefits of this great law.

 Secretary of the Treasury.

be removed and placed over the left breast as the flag approaches and held there until it has passed.
 "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 per sons 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 civilian clothes with hat on, it should be removed and plac- ed over the left breast during the music.
 In all cases while standing at the attention, silence and immobility should be preserved. Ladies would not be expected to remove their head dress but should stand at attention and pre- serve 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 forefinger touches the low CT part of the head dress or forehead above the right eye, forearm inclined at about 45 degrees, hand and wrist straight.
 The national anthem should be play ed through without repetition of any part not required to make it complete It should never be played as part of a medley.

 In the absence of a government of any sort to regulate the matter streets and alleys that had been in actual use were fenced and occupied by buildings until at one time it was almost i'm possible to travel by vehicle to one of these sections without making long de- tours.
 Modern Chloride will soon emerge from this chaotic condition, and or derly and well-kept streets and alleys will provide convenient passages to all sections of the camp.

At one place the river flows eight miles between two points two and a half miles apart, its course being north 25 times, east IS times, south 30 times and west 41 times. At thirty three different points it is within 15O feet of itself, the current flowing in opposite directions. And it ends its course by fading away into the desert.
