Submarine improvements.

Since April German submarines
have been equipped with four new de-
vices which increase their destructive
ness, and render 1t more difficult for
chasers to discover their whereabouts.
Formerly the U-boats. to remain in one
spot, had to come to the surface. or
anchor themselves to the bottom; but
four small pumps are now used which
enable them to remain stationary while
submerged. This not only conserves
fuel, but prevents its enemies from
hearing the throb of the submarines
propellers. Telescope periscopes give
further assistance to the submarine In
concealing its position. A mixture Of
oxygen and strained gas is now used
in the engines, and the exhaust is
washed free Of smoke and broken into
small bubbles, which do not leave a
wake. Finally, new listening devices
enable 1t to hear and Judge the size of
ships at a considerable distance.-Ex-

world war.
"If Shaw is right" said labor lead

Help to Save
Nations Food Supply

In this time of high cost OF living, ev-
erybody should use all possible means to
prevent waste and to help save food. No
one means can be more effective than a
vigorous campaign to exterminate rats
which destroy over two hundred million
dollars worth of foodstuffs annually. Keep
garbage In rat-proof cans, stop up their
holes, and above all exterminate them
with Stearns' Paste, which can be bought
for a few cents at any store. A two ounce
box will usually rid a house or barn of
every rat. 1t destroys mice, cockroaches
and WaterbuRs as well, Adv.

Of bills. Among those disposed of was
the county classification bill which
had been favorably reported from the
committee of the whole the day before
and was advanced through its second
reading. At that stage 1t was slightly
amended by increasing the salary of
the governor from $4,000 a year as pro-
posed originally to $500 year The
salaries of the Justices of the supreme
court-were changed to IS 900 year.
a bill was reported from the judi
ciary committee amending the measure
Of DR.. Ferguson providing for the
holding Of property by aliens. His bill
was intended to meet a condition in
the southern part of the state resulting
from the Mexican troubles. The
amendment confers this privilege OF
ownership upon aliens eligible to cit
izenship." Thus the privilege is not
extended to Chinese, Japanese Hin
docs and other peoples who may not
be admitted to citizenship.
Other bills passed by the senate
were: providing for giving credit to

bill creating the Blue Range preserve.
Mr.. FARES objected that the result Of
all this legislation would be to estab
fish a perpetual, closed season in the
state. But the bill went through as
did the Pinal Mountain preserve.
A special reason was urged for the
creation OF the Huachuca preserve. It
was stated that there were from go
coo. TO 10000 soldiers in that vicinity
and that they were engaged in an in
discriminate slaughter of deer regard
less Of the game laws Of the state.
Mr.. FARES In the committee Of the
whole made a special effort to advance
the bill creating county highway COM
missions which had been introduced a
day or two before. He said that he
had no personal interest in the bill
but he knew it TO be good one and
that il proposed the first systematic
plan for good road construction In Ar
izona. AT the request Of citizens of
this county he would sacrifice bills in
which he was personally Interested In
order that this bill might have an ad-
vanced place on the calendar He
could not, though. secure the neces-
sary suspension of the rules. The 9TH

Getting Ready to Work
The house spent some precious hours
splitting on its hands, figuratively
speaking, for getting ready to work to
better advantage. But as usual the
house could do nothing until some half
dozen Of the members had talked
themselves dry. II was evident that
all Of the bills on the long calendar
could not be considered within less
than a week remaining of the session
and a choice should be made of the
more important. II was therefore
moved by Mr.. Eddy that each member
might be allowed to select a bill for
advancement The meaning Of the
motion was not quite understood and
met with a spirited objection from
those members whose faYorite bills
were already near the top Of the calen
dar II was explained. though, that II
really did not mean the displacement
Of any measure in which any member
might be greatly interested and if a
member already had bill dear to his
heart near the top of the calendar il
would not be disturbed. After awhile
the motion was adopted with the nm
derstanding that the bill appropriating
1900 for the relief Of y. w. Gregg
should not be affected. This bill Is Il

Other House Business
Several bills were passed. Among
them WAS Mrs. McKays minimum

committee of the whole the day before
reducing the minimum from s12 week
to $40 week Other bills were: Pro-
viding that a litigant in certain cases
may prosecute his case without the
payment of advance fees.
Another bill appropriated $500 for
the relief of w. A. coombs. Mr..
Coombs was inspector in the employ of
the sheep sanitary commission for two
months prior to April of 1915. His
wages amounted to 1890 for that time.
AT the end OF his period of service he
I presented his claim to the secretary
of the commission but the meetings Of

when the claim Wos allowed. But the

outlawed. Letters from the auditor
