MRS. |. 3. CARR
 WILL LEAVE 'Y''
 FUR WAR WORK
Intensive Training to Be
 Given at Asilomar for Those Who Will Serve in
 War Labor among Women

Mrs. Lulu B. Carr. for the past Women's Christian association, has been selected as one of the "Y' work CTS to take the training course for war emergency work. Mrs Carr win at Asilomar where a course of Iec- lures on army camp work will be de- liVered by association secretaries who have had actual experience on the border At the conclusion of her training, Mrs. Carr will be granted three months leave of absence, after which she will be transferred to San Francisco and will be connected with social work of that association. Mrs. Carr'S resignation, it is understood, has already been presented to the To- cal board with whom she has worked in harmony since coming to Phoenix
 The news of her transfer will be learned with general regret, for Mrs Carr has not only served the 'Y!' well but has made many warm friends by her pleasing personality. Her sue cessor has not yet been announced and since a board meeting is nOt scheduled until autumn, it is possible that there will be no change for the present. Mrs. Carr stated yesterday that she would not consider leaving here, no matter how greatly it inter- fcrred with her future plans, until she was assured that local conditions warranted her departure. She would not leave, she said. while there was an actual need of her in Phoenix.
 Besides Mrs. Carr, Miss Ethel Ros- enbcrry will take the war work which has been endorsed by the national board and which has been tIIed out successfully in the training camps at San Antonio. The work is with wom- en and girls in communities adjoin- ing the army camps; where men are being mobilized for the army and where girls are gathered for agricul- tural work, for work in the munitiOn factories and other war industries The nearest "Y'' will be the base of operation for this work which will be conducted by women of experience teachers or social workers who can qualify as leaders in protective and recreatiOnal work.
 This big venture will be featured at the annual conference at Asilomar Eighteen delegates have already sig nified their intention of attending the session, which is open to any one who cares to go. The actual expense for the ten days is $5S.6O, which includes railroad, board, room and registration. An interesting benefit is being planned for a conference fund in form of a clever play, Miss Fearless and Company" which is being directed by Miss Alice Buskirk. The players are among the best known local amateurs. The first performance will be given at the Neighborhood House early in August and the play will be pre- scented in town on August 10.

FILED AGAINST TAKING
 SOLDIERS AWAY
General Greene Writes to Foreman at Roosevelt Asking Advice About the
 Guard at the Big Dam

President John Orme of the Salt River Valley Water Users association, yesterday afternoon wired a protest to the authorities against taking the com pany of soldiers away from the duty of guarding the Roosevelt dam.
 General Greene of the regular army sent a letter to Foreman Whitney in charge of construction work at Roose- welt, stating that he thought it possible to have civilian guards perform the duty the troops are now doing. Just why General Greene sent his message tn a foreman in charge of work at the d am in place of writing to either Presi- dent Orme of the association or Project Manager Cone, the direct representa- tives of the government, is not at once apparent. At any rate the foreman landed the letter over to President Orme and the reply >ame from one in authority rather than from a subor- dinate official with whom the army men had apparently preferred to dis { uss the question.
 In the telegram sent to the govern ment President Orme points out the necessity of taking no chances in pro- tecting this great engineering work from all danger of damage. At the present. llIHe when lncIc IS 50 liICil unrest in the state it is felt that il would be a very bad time to take away the guard from the great dam which alone assures the maximum of produc tion of food stuffs in one of the most fertile sections in the country
 The government is detailing guards for thousands of engineering works which are not anywhere nearly so i'm portant as the dam and the protest against taking away the federal guard will, therefore, be strongly sustained by all who understand the nature of the protection needed.
 Genera. Greene's communication to Foreman Whitney at Roosevelt is as follows:
 Tt has been brought to my attention that it is perfectly feasible to properly protect the Roosevelt dam by a small civilian guard and that ycu have per fectly reliable men in your employ who could be depended upon for such ser vice.
 T have the honor to request that you make arrangements for such protec tion and notify me when same is com pleted in order that the troops now on that duty may be withdrawn"

Water Melon Are J oint Kings For
 Rotary Pr @@r ann

Members of the Rotary club and their fair friends had watermelon feast at Riverside park last even
 ing with the accent on the water. Many a handsome face was comfort ably enmeshed in the fastress of the succulent fruit when Jupiter PIuvius took possession of the park and all therein. Those who had planned to put on weight by con- sumng a dozen melons or so and thereby win the projected tug of war changed their minds with commendabIe promptness and the sheItering roof was in demand and commanded premium.
 The watermelon part of the pro- gram was we'll under way when the storm started, but President Charles c. Christy decided without argu- ment or objection that the sports program would be abandoned in favor of helter- skeIter race in which the object would be to dodge the raindrops. Winners may be an announced at the monday meeting of the club today and it is said that new rotating records have been es- tabIished by several members, while deep sea diving marks for many years to come were set by the be- dragged ciubmen and their wives before they reached home.

 GOING ON FAST

The women are enlisting in the food conservation army in Arizona by scores and hundreds. Every town has it's canning clubs where are taught the latest methods of preserving fruits and vegetables. That to waste food is criminal in these times of war is a lesson that is being taught daily to the young and old.
 Under the auspices of the Council of Defense, the women's auxiliary is giv- ing canning demonstrations almost daily. Cooperating with them is the Council of Defense with it's commit tees who are on the lookout for surplus fruit and vegetables of all kinds. There is no need for any fruit to go to waste in Maricopa county this year.
 Every woman ir this county should be able, by late fall, to say that she has used every can and jar in her

home; that she has permitted none to remain empty when fruit has been so plentiful and instruction in preserv- ing has been so liberal. In thus saving all the fruit she is not providing for her own family, but she is assisting in the care of others.
 If there is any woman not so for tunate as to have her larder full, she should call up the Council of Defense, telephone 1894, and find out where the available fruit is; then go to the dem onstration at the high school this morning and learn how to can it by an

ADJUSTMENTS
"Womanhood" at The Hip Today


 When the management of the Hip screened "Womanhood, the Glory of a Nation" on June 1 the owners of the picture demanded that a price of 50 cents be charged for all adu ts and despite this fact thousands came to see and praise this wonderful semi military spectacle that has for it's punch the possible plight of America if the Germans should win this war. It goes right into the truth of what is possible and while there is an alarming lesson in every foot of the picture it is found- ed upon double love story that runs through it's entirety.
 "Womanhood tells of America sit ting snug and contented until she awakes one morning to find her shores overrun with the invaders, her women in peril and her treasury at the mercy of the military power that has hold of her throat.
 Then comes the reaction and a mighty free people arise and throw off the yoke and the attendant battle scenes are said to be so realistic that recent European envoys reviewing the picture thought teh war scenes were clipped from some actual battle on the great front.
 "Womanhood" will be shown this time at the regular house prices with no advance.
 "The Lonesome Chap" at Lamara
 The Pallas- Paramount company came very near filming real accident during the perturbation of The Lone some Chap,"> in which Louise Huff and House Peters will be seen at the La mara theater today and tomorrow.

fall from a cliff Miss Jonson, in her attempt to aid MT Palette, was sup posed to be dragged over the edge of the if and be dashed to the rocks below. A high cliff was selected for this purpose and the camera placed across the gully Mir Palette slid down over the side and hung on to a pro jecting rock Miss Jonson, lying flat on her face was supposed to reach over in an attempt to pull him up and then slide over the edge and catch herself in a tree before she had gone too far. All this was done successfully except that her weight pu led the tree from it's insecure fastenings in the rock and had it not been for the presence of mind of MT. Palette in throwing out his arm, she would have continued her neadIong plunge to the rocks below.

WASHINGTON. July 19.=Women's
activities in the war game are increas-
ing every day. A woman's motor SER
vice. organized by Mrs. j. Borden Har-
riman. in which scores of Washington
society women have enrolled, is one
of the latest. The cars are filling a
real need and are kept busy on work
directly for the war department.
These women drive their own cars
to which an army ambulance, as a
trailer. is frequently attached as they
are sent to the training camp OF the
marine corps at Quantico, Va, or the
engineering co. ps. at Belvoir, Va 70
bring to Washington for hospital
treatment sick or injured men.
The women are also getting lnten-
sive training themselves under Off
GERS Of the wal department.
They are getting the same drills
and the same maneuvers, as regular
army units. The course of instruction
includes litter drills and training in
ambulance work.
The women's motor service in
Washington has been taken as a mod
ell for similar organizations through
out the country and the Wa depart
ment is receiving daily applications
for officers to be detailed to train
women in motor ambulance work.

GOODING WARNS PEOPLE
THAT COAL IS SHORT
Former Governor As Head of Council
OF Defense Explains Critical Stu

To the Governor and the People Of
Idaho:
1 have the honor to report to you the
findings of our recent investigation Of
the new conditions that have been
forced upon the coal situation by the
breaking of the Mammoth Reservoir
and the destruction of several miles
of track on the ID. &c r. G., over which
all the coal from the Utah fields must
pass for Idaho points.
AS soon as the washout occurred on
the Rio Grande, Mr.. Hansen, secretary
for the Council of Defense for Idaho,
wired me to come to Salt Lake and
assist him in this investigation.
I regret exceedingly to have to re-
port to you that the de. truction of
the Rio Grande tracks has %brough.
about a very serious complication in
the coal situation for Idaho. For
more than two weeks the coal mines
Of Utah have been idle. However, l
am glad to advise you that on the 18th
of July all the mines in Utah on the
D.. & r. G., except those in the Scofield
district resumed operations.
The following telegram from Mr..
F. d. Clarity. assistant general man
ager of the D.. & r. G., will give you
authentic information in regard to the
seriousness that exists at the present
time:
Salt Lake, Utah,
July -, 1917.
f. r. Gooding,
GOOding, Idaho.
All mines except those in Scofield
district commenced work yesterday
and hope to work them about fifty to
sixty per CEN normal capacity. hut
do not expect to reach maximum for
at least three or four weeks.
r. d. CLARITY.
During all this time it must be
borne in mind that the railroads and
consumers everywhere have been MS
ing the supply of coal on hand. Mr.
Stevenson, a member of our Council
advises me hat it now looks as il
the Oregon Short Line would be fore.
ed into the winter without a ton o.
storage coal.
The while situation is so seriou,
that ! feel it is imperative that thiI
communication be given as much pub
licity as possible. With that in view
7 am sending this report to the pres.
of the state and asking them to Civ.
it as favorable notice as possible, 81
that the people may be advised of tn
true conditions.
I have the following recommends
lions to make:
The people of Idaho wherever it

possible should provide wood for their
winter use.
All threshing machines that are now
using coal should be fitted up with
straw burners.
There should be a demand on the
part of the public in every commu-
nifty for economy in the use of coal,
and every owner of a threshing ma
chine should be requested to install
straw burners.
There remains but one hope to re-
lieve what threatens to be a serious
coal famine and that is through the
Wyoming coal fields.
The following telegram from T. J
O'Brien, general sales agent of the
Kemmerer Coal company, in reply t.
my inquiry, tells the story of the neeC
of men in the Wyoming coal mines
and the prices paid for labor.

Your wire date, miners are paid
sixty-four and sixty-nine cents per
ton, depending upon local conditions
under which they work. Outside la
borers three dollars and four cents
per day, leaders, track layers, tim
bermen, drivers, four dollars and two
cents per day, inside labor, not CLASH
fled, three dollars and Lightweight
cents per day. We could use two
hundred fifty additional miners and
estimate that at least one thousand
additional men could be given work
in the southern Wyoming fields. The
miners and leaders are what we need
most, but a number of other under
ground men could be used. If this
does not give you the information de-
sired, kindly let me hear from you.
T. J. O'BRIEN.
I am publishing this telegram with
the hope that it may come to the no
tice of those who are looking for this
class of work, and that they will pro-
coed at nee to the Wyoming coal
fields.
There is no longer any question of
a shortage, Sc that if the Wyoming
coal mines could be furnished with
sufficient labor, it would become a
mighty factor in relieving what l be-
lieve to be a serious condition for the
state of Idaho.
Too much credit cannot be given
