WHAT THE GOVERNMENT Is DOING

pointed out to the farmers. and short
er-lived woods must be used in their
place
Any reasonably cheap method Of in
creasing tho life Of such woods Will ef-
feet enormous savings to the farmers
of the country. Several methods ap-
plicable to farm use have been tested
by the forest service Of the department
in a series of experiments on the pre-
servative treatment of fence posts
poles and other forms of timber ex-
posed to decay. The results of these
Of the farmers show, 1t Is said by the
experts. that when suitable preserva-
tive treatment Is given the natural re-
sistnnce of wood to decay can be very
much increased.
1t is pointed out by those making the
full preservatives can be readily under
stood il it is borne in mind that decay
is the result Of the action Of certain low
forms Of plant life called fungi. Certain
substances in the wood constitute their
food As these are dissolved the wood
structure Is broken down until 1t be-
comes rotten. The prevention OF this
condition lies in depriving tho fungi
of any one Of their requirements for
growth-moisture, air. q favorable tenn
perature and food. In general. It has
been found that the best way is to pol
son the food eupply. This, rather than
the exclusion of moisture. is the princt-
pie underlying the use of the most sue
cessful preservatives.
The department has suggested tnat
in many cases a small wood preserving
plant could be operated probably In
connection with . threshing outht,

wisdom But Nine. Gayraud ADDS;
.Tet us not conclude that the day
woman will vote there will be no war.
Such conclusion will be a delusion. an
error. childishness"
The war has taught that woman alone
cannot protect herself. She has under
stood that country-which Is nothing
more than the COLLECTIVELY OF All mousse
hoIds-is something that is possessed
in common and which requires to be
defended in the interior as brothers ana
husbands without form. a barrier
bristling with bayonets. In time OF
war woman is excused from miitary
service And this. it would seem.
should dissipate many equivocatione.
Nine Gayraud has something to say
about the failinss Of her sex In the
matter of toilette: toiiette' sns

he pardoned on emotion before the
sparkling feminine goods displayed In
the shops. But when his eyes fall on

TODAY, we may assume that he asks,
Can one take that as serioueg a
ridiculous mode was formerly treated
as crane or 'swagger': how can woman
have il in their hearts to be frivolous
in such a moment" These men and
these women are not of the same time
and Nine. Gayraud asks. What impress
sion would the fashion book or a
couturiere of the present have on .
poilu in the trenches" rs it for that
we are having our faces smashed!
Mime. Gayraud concludes her frank
study of feminism and the war-of
which we have touched only the salient
points-by pointing out the necessity
of the adaptation by woman after the
war ITO the condition of the man
matured by the experience OF his rude
military service. And Nine. Gayraud
asks rehectively: will we have the
pretension to govern these con-
Querors?"
Feminism will be victorious II woman
will prove to be a certain and worthy
aid in the difficult labor of restoration
of the ruins resulting from the war.

Thousands of vehicles of various
kinds are now used by the Post Office
Department. throughout
poe% O#o. the country for the de-
livery and collection of
vehicles. mail While some were in
operation, they were not extensively
used prior to the establishment of the
domestic parcel post. The use Of such
partment only when the distance to be
traversed or the weight of the mail to
be carried on q delivery route was too
great for satisfactory performance Of
service by carrier on foot.
The innovation Of using various kinds
of conveyances was begun with the ad-
mission to the mails Of large parcels
which, naturally. made necessary the
provision of vehicu1ar delivery to all
sections of cities. for it soon became
impracticable to deliver this class of
thorough study has been made by the
experts of the Post Office Department
with q view to keeping everything up
| to-date and to enable the department
to utilize the latest 1abor-saving de-
vices.
The growth Of parcel post trafic has
necessitated each year the employment
of greater number Of vehicles for city
delivery purposes. In view of the In
| creasing expense incurred for this
equipment. special attention has been
given by the departments experts to
the questions involved in its selection,
| purchase. rental and operation.
! 1t is the practice Of the department
| to decide. when called upon to choose
which will be the more useful. the
! horse-drawn or motor. taking into con-
| sideration. the route, good roads or bad:
also the convenience. celerity and cost
| of performing the work on the given
route under consideration.
/ The obvious advantages to be gained
from using the same vehicles for col
( lecting' and delivering ordinary mail
and for delivering parcels were recog-
nized and secured by the department
! from the outset. Vehicles purchased or
rented for the delivery and collection
! of mail in cities have been used inter-
chaneeablv in all branches Of the work.
Combined screen-wagon and city de-
livery and collection service has been
operated during the past two years in
| country by automobiles owned by the
department. Some excellent results
are said to have been obtained and a
considerable saving has ensued to the
| the department to extend the use of
government owned automobiles in the
light of experience gained. Experience
thus far indicates that it may be de-
sirable for the department to conduct
vehicle service in every city in which
a suficient number of automobiles are
used by the post office to reduce to a
reasonable amount the expense per
machine for garage and repair facili-
ties and for expert supervision.
! All Of the vehicle service in the cities
has been placed under the Jurisdiction
of one bureau Of the department now
so that 1t can be carried on in the most
efficient manner and by those who have
made q study OF these specia! condf-
tions. The appropriations by Congress
also have been merged into one item.

NINETY ARIZONA LAWS
IMPORTANT MEASURES ENACTED
BY THIRD LEGISLATURE.
Out of 349 Bills Introduced, Ninety
Become Statutes, Sixty-Nine Being
Signed by Governor ChampbelI.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
PhoeniX.-Out of the 349 bills intro
duced during the session of the third
state legislature ninety measures were
enacted into law, according to sta
tistics compiled in Phoenix Of this
number sixty-nine were signed by
Governor Campbell and the remaining
twenty-one became laws without his
signature.
Important among the enactments of
the third legislature were the mini
mum wage for women, fixing $40 a
week as the minimum wage for wom-
en- and girls; the redlight abatement
law, similar to the California statute;
the widows pension act; drastic
anti-gambling law which makes the
participant equally guilty with the
keeper of the game; the commission
of state institutions which provides
for a state commission of three mem.
bers having charge of all state insti-
tutions with supervision over the ad-
illustrative boards of the educational
institutions; the act reclassifying the
counties of the state on basis of
assessed valuation; the bill providing
for military training in high schools
and providing for the organization of
high school cadet companies and the
law permitting aliens eligible to cit
izenship to own real property within
the state.
Referendum petitions directed
against the minimum wage law for
women, the anti-gambling law; the
commission of state institutions and
possibly against the bill amending the
paving act so as to abolish alternate
bidding are said to be in course of
being circulated If successful in Sc
curing the required number of sigma
lures, the circulators of referendum
petitions can thereby hold up an en-
actment of the legislature until the
next general election.
