LOSS BY U-BOATS STAGGERS
Secretary Lane Says 4O0, 700 Tons Of
Shipping Was Sent to Bottom
Last Week.

Washington, May 3-Secretary Lane
told the governors comforting here to-
day with the Council of National De-
Tense on the part state governments
will take in the war that the federal
government had heard 400, 900 tons of
shipping had been sunk in the last
week by German submarines.
Later at the State Department Sec
rotary Lansing, in response to in
quiries, said:
1T may as well be recognized that
the submarine situation is very Sc

The destruction, Secretary Lane
said, was not only threatening the
existence of England and France, but
was alarming the United States. Study

rine menace is being diligently pur-
sued in the Interior Department, he
said.

WOULD HANG The
FOOD GAMBLERS
Debate in Senate Brings Out
Some Caustic Remarks on
Present Situation.
SAY THERE is NO SHORTAGE
Members Assert That Present Hioh
Prices Mean Only More Profits
for the Spectators.

Washington, May 35The risingssen-
timent in Congress fors1egislation to
| meet the Nations food problems broke
out in the Senate today in a debate.
1t started over the high price of seeds,
but developed into denunciation of
food spectators with predictions that
the best way to deal with them was
to string them to lamp posts OF to put
them behind prison bars.
Senators from farming states denied
there was any real shortage of staple
foods in the United States. Senator
John Sharp Williams declared there
had been hysteria throughout the
country and that the cause of high
prices was largely psychological. He
said he believed the German corrup-
ton fund recently unearthed in a fed
eral court in New York may have been
responsible for the hysteria.
Congress Must Act"
Word should go straight out from
the Senate, Mr.. Williams said, that
there was no shortage of food. SEN
ators Nelson and McCumber agreed
there was no reason to fear a short
age.
The attack on spectators was led
by Senators Thomas and Borah. The
Colorado senator declared they were
the real enemies of the Nation, ex-
pressed the hope Congress would not
adjourn without legislation that would
rmedy the evil, and said the lamp post
was the thing to cure such specula-
ton.
Senator Thomas introduced an
amendment to the Espionage Bill, en-
towering the President, by proclama-
ton, to suspend during the war the
operation of boards of trade and cham
bers Of commerce that dealt in fu-
lures. He had it sent to the table
for later consideration.
Big Profits to Packers.
Senator Borah predicted a world
famine if the war lasted two years
and if extraordinary and sustained eff
forts were not made here to meet the
food problem.
He attacked the packers, declaring
they made enormous profits, and said
speculation and monopoly in food
stuffs made millions for those who
were responsible and made poems of
the people, He favored CONSUMPTION
of food and government possession of
the packing companies. Food specu-
Iation, he said, would not be ended I'M
til the spectators ARE put in stripes

Kidney & Co:
CBY DIR. J. H. wATSoN)

The kidneys and the skin work In
harmony. They're companions, the
skin being the second partner. IF we
are anxious to keep well and preserve
the vitality Of the kidneys and, also,
free the blood from noxious elements,
we must pay special attention to a
good action Of the skin and to see that
the kidneys are flushed so as to elimi-
nate the poisons from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in a bath,
at least once q week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys In good condition.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
of pure water with meals and between
meals. Occasionally obtain at the drug
store Anurfc, double strength, which
will help flush the kidneys and the in
testines. You will find that Anurfc is
many times more active than Hthia
and that 1t dissolves uric acid as hot
water does sugar.

ARIZONA'S NEW GAME LAW.

The new Arizona game law is much more restrictive than the old statute and is designed to re- stock the hills as of yore. Though passed by the people, the meas ure was not favored by the Ari- zona Sportsmen's association, which pointed out that child who goes hunting with his father or who fishes on the bank for bull heads and carp now must pay a license fee of $1 25.

NO BETS TO eE PAID.

According to word received from a betting commissioner in Phoenix no bets of any kind will be paid on the Hunt Campbell race until the question has been thrashed out through the courts and one or the other is legally declared governor of the state. It is said that several thousands of dollars are being held by various people in the city of Bisbee and it is easy to imagine that a great many other bets were placed throughout the state. Should Campbell be de- clared the governor the Hunt packers will lose more than if Hunt should be favored at the odds, previous to election were greatly in favor of the incum- bent.-Prospector.

 w. A. Greene, medical spperin- ten6ent of the institution. Many applications for admission which have been made recently have been refused, the doctor said, simply because there was room for none except the bedridden and none else are received. There are at this time 10 patients in the instituticn and an addi- tional 40 residents in the poor farm section.
 Notices have been sent by the Copper Queen smelter to all customs shippers that the com pany will refuse to accept ore from any except those who have contracts.

Government Bureau Issues Statement
 Relative to Gasoline.

In a statement recently given
 out by the United States Bureau of Standards effort is made to correct two erroneous opinions generally held by the public re- garding motor fuel. According
 to the report. specific gravity is
 practically worthless as a check gauge it's value for use in motor cars. Just what is the proper test is still matter of some doubt, and in this regard the re- port states:
 It seems most probable that the definition of gasoline will have to be based On the percent age that diStils over between specified temperatures, when the distillation is carried out under specified conditions. This dis tiliation test, speaking in non- technical terms, is a measure of the freedom with which the gaso- line will vaporize. The gasoline must not vaporize too freely for two reasOns-one that it would not be safe. and secondly, it's loss in storage by evaporation would be too great. Hence, the specification may have to contain limitations of the percentage distilling over below certain temperature. coupled, perhaps, with proviso that certain per- centages shall distil over below other fixed temperatures, in order that requisite amounts of low boiling constituents shall be present to insure easy starting of an engine. Likewise the specification must contain a provision that all must distil over below certain maximum temperature in order to exclude from the gasoline the heavier petroleum distillates, such as kerosene"
 The report also informs the public that it must not expect the Bureau of Standards to take hasty action in formulating a gasoline test. It says:
 It is extremely important that we proceed with the greatest caution and in the light of the | There is only one way, or at most a very few ways, of doing the right thing, while there is an infinite number of ways of doing the wrong thing. A mistake of any kind, such as a specification that is unnecessarily restricted and which might unduly limit will disturb econo- mic and manufacturing condit- ions, and might only result in imposing greater burdens on the consuming public.
 There are two aspects to the under consideration, one local, the other national. There is no doubt that the ad- vantages that would result from / a satisfactory standardization of gasoline by the National Govern ment are many. Not the least of these would be it's influence on State and municipal legisla- tion relating to this question, and it's effect in making such more nearly uniform the country. Legis- Iative bodies are beginning to take up this question, and much of this legislation is certain to be i'll advised, although enacted with the best intentions. because it can not in the nature of things receive the careful consideration of technical experts that is re- 1uired for the satisfactory salu- 5ion of questions of this kind. It will readily be seen that the effect of indiscriminate legisla- jon might produce conditions nothing short of chaotic.
