STATE PAYS IN
ADVANCE SAVING
SUBSTANT

Following the letter of the request
made recently to the American people
by President Wilson in which he ad-
monished them to eliminate all waste
as far as possible, to save and thus
confound the country's enemies, State
Treasurer ID. F. Johnson yesterday
slipped an unexpected $1,000 into Ari-
zona's ginger jar when he called in
and paid $4,000 in registered war
rants before they We're due which war
rants were drawing ) per cent of good
Arizona money
ordinarily these warrants would not
rave been paid until next month, but
Cochise and MaricOpa counties two of
the Wealthiest in the state. had too
much money and sent in a portion of
their May taxes earlier than usual and
thus enabled Treasurer johnson to
save the state one months interest on
the big sum.
TO much money" is not an idle
statement. but an actual fact Cochise
county. which sent in nearly 5000. 600 of
the 100000, had more money than she
knew what to do with. The Tomb
stone banks didn't want it. therefore
Harry S. Ross. treasurer of Cochise
county. and State Treasurer Johnson
made the. arrangements whereby Ari
iona saved 81 500
Mr. johnson said that he did not
think it had ever been done before in
Arizona.

AMBULANCE AID
GIVES MEN NEW
FIELD Of WORK

Tho work of the Red Cross has
heretofore been generally supposed to
be for women, but the time has come
for the men TO get into it. declared
Dr.. +. H Redewil last night at
meeting of the first aid class for
men at the Central school building
The meeting was for the purpose of
organizing a training course to prepare
for later transformation into an ambu-
lance company.
1t was held under the auspices of
the Red Cross. that national organiza-
ton being represented by a. \. Hush
OF San Francisco field secretary for
the Red Cross. who announced that he
would open headquarters in Phoenix
where he will remain at least one
month in organizing Red Cross chap
ters and in lending other assistance
Mr. Hush goes to Tucson today for Il
conference, but Will return the first OF

lance work, the organization not to be
made until called upon by the govern

REFRIGERATION
IS SAFETY MOVE

With the coming of warmer weather
every housewife in this city is faced
with the problem of preventing milk,
meat, fruit and other food stuffs from
spelling. Strange to say, good many
families are still depending upon their
cellars and pantires. or at best the old
fashioned ice box, for preserving food.
a little investigation, however, will
soon show any woman how important
good refrigeration is from the stand
point of health.
Scientific experiments demonstrate
that bacteria, which are the cause of
food decomposition, flourish in tenn
peratures above 80 degrees
Many families keep their food in eel
lars or kitchen pantries during the hot
summer months. An investigation car
RED on in several hundred cellars in
Rochester, \. Y, showed that not one
of them had a temperature below IS
degrees, and as for pantries and kitch-
ems, none of them were below 80 de-
grees Since the temperature in most
of the cities in the United States is
above 80 degrees from to I months of
the year, much of the sickness prev
alent during the warm weather has
food refrigeration.
p
many homes are not much better either
in the protection afforded. In fact, the
same investigation carried on in Ro-
chester, showed that more than half
the refrigerators in use. registered
above so degrees. The reason for this
unsatisfactory condition was easily
traced TO defective construction.
If you are going therefore, to buy
refrigerator this summer. investigate
the insulation. This is one of the most
important factors of a good refriger-
ator. A great many refrigerators that
look fairly good in outward appearance
are merely wooden boxes lined with tin,
galvanized iron or zinc. Their walls
vary in thickness from 9 to inches,
and the space between the metal lining
and the wooden case, which should con-
tain some insulating material like felt,
mineral wool, vegetable fibre or some
preparation of cork, is often merely
sheet or two of paper.
The purpose of insulation is to pre-
vent the passage of heat from the out
side to the inside of the box, and the
chief value of the insulator depends
upon the amount of air it entraps, and
upon its freedom from moisture.
If the insulation becomes wet, its eff
ficiency decreases correspondingly
With inferior insulation the heat
warns the air neXt to the metal lining
and causes moisture on the metal with
in the wall This dampnesS corrodes
the metal lining and becomes medium
for germs and filth.
Some sort of insulation soak up the
moisture on the metal and thus their
efficiency is olwered. Furthermore
moisture warps and rots the wood cas-
ing, and then the doors son become ill
fitting. permitting warm air to leak in
to the box and uselessly melt the ice.
Manufacturers of cheap ice boxes try
to avoid corosion of the metal by coat
ing the cheap metal Innings with white
paint. Such refrigeratorS are practi-
cally worthless for food protection.

CAR MEN
WILL GET MORE
ADEQUATE WAGE

The motormen and conductors Of the
Phoenix street railway are feeling bet
ter this morning. Their request for
raise in pay of cents an hour was
granted and their daily increase viii be
from so to 80 cents in consequence.
The increase. however, is a gift from
General NJ. Fl. Sherman of Los An
geles. president of the company, who
declared that the finances of the COM
pany would not permit the increase to
be made. but that he would send his
personal check for three months to
cover the increase In the meantime
Il was announced from the offices of
the company, that Il plan win be
worked out whereby it is hoped that
The increase can be made permanent
The good news of the raise in pay
was conveyed in a telegram received
yesterday from S. II. Mitchell, general
manager Of the company. who was in
Los Angeles. The telegram read:
Relative TO the request of the motor
men and conductors for an increase in
wages of cents an hour, | have been
in conference with General Sherman
We all know well that our receipts will
not stand for such a heavy increase in
expenses. General Sherman appre-
ciates the situation; that the men are
facing a higher cost of living, and for
that reason he personally agrees to
send his check to the men monthly for
three months from date as q bonus Of
> cents per hour over our present wage
scale. In the meantime he will see what
can be done to make the raise perma
nent."
The increase affects thirty eight men
and amounts 10 nearly $500 per month
The former scale was 22-23 and %

DANIELS REFUSES
TO ACCEPT NEEDED
RESERVE OFFICERS

The naval reserve Is short 1000 OF,
fcers, in round numbers. Despite this
fact. II was learned today on indiS.
putable authority that Secretary OF
the Navy Daniels has put his foot
down on accepting into the service
any further applicants.
Pressure IL being brought to eaAf
on the Secretary by those ehibhy In
terested In the personnel OF the navy
to have the ban on the needed oRie6tb
removed. Thus far they have failed.
The Secretary shut down on accept
ing officers for the reserve after q
considerable number were given com.
missions because the navy did not
have at the time housing facilities
for additional Officers, and was un-
able to care for them in other ways.
This condition has passed, II was
learned at the Navy Department TO-
day.
The Secretary is opposed to permit
ting more reserve officers to entef
the navy at this time because he is
convinced that the great bulk OF
those seeking commissions are the
sons of rich men.
Naval officers who are trying to
change Mr.. Daniels stand are now
pointing out to him the need Of Of
ficers to man the new great destroy
er flotilla to be built.

account OF the American troops now
training near the front. After paying
IN admirinC tribute to the soldiers'
physical ATTRACTIONS, he cites a French
captain, who is instructor in the
American camp, as proof that the
United States soldier is as good as he
looks when It comes to work:
'4Thete American boys are surpris.
ing US the way they are catching on.
One feels at once that they are in
dead earnest to learn all wo can
teach them about methods OF fighting.
Every new device has an absorbing
interest for them. We have only to
give them q demonstration. They re-
peat right away with hardly u mis-
take.
You see that lot over there? They

and the sergeant who is supervising :
them handles them exactly as II they
we're his own poilus. Another thing
which strikes US about them is their
astonishing docility. with regard TO
their French Instructors. Nothing in
their behavior denotes the 'saviors
Of France On the contrary, thei:'
sole idea for the moment seems to be

This sign OF their confidence in
us has touched us deeply. They are
all burning with impatience to make
themselves useful. Already they
have taken over all the auxiliary
