points of the famous old Enplish
drama, Caste" are brought out on
the screen in fashion to delight
everyone, whether or not familiar

.kINDERGARTENERS
 TO MEET AT 'HUB'
International Union Now Boasts
 of 10000 Members

The 24th annual convention of the International Kindergarten union will be held in Boston, May 7th-11th.
 The union has not met in Boston since 1902, at which time it numbered about 7,500 members; it has now nearly 10000 members in all parts of the world. and is the third largest educational organization in existence.
 The growth of the union has been an interesting one. bn 1878, Miss Elizabeth Peabody, of whose fame as a Pioneer worker for little children New England is justly proud, gathered together the hundred or so isolated and small associations already inter- ested in kindergarten education into one body, and founded The American Froebel union. This was succeeded. in 1882, at Detroit, by the Froebel In- stitute of North America. and three years later this organization became tho Kindergarten Department of the National Educational association. In . 1892, looking towards a fitting repre- sentative of kindergarten interest at the Columbia exposition to be held in Chicago the following year. the Inter- national Kindergarten union in it's present form came into being.
 The numerical growth of the Union, indicating as it does the greatly in- creased interest in Kindergarten edu- cation throughout the country, is of exceeding importance, but it indicates by no means the only growth that has taken place. The last fifteen years have seen many changes in. the methods and materials of the kinder garten, and a greatly increased in- f1uence of the kindergarten upon the work of the succeeding school grades.
 The coming convention will demon strate as nothing else could the pres ent vitality of the Kindergarten and its future promise. Subjects of great interest educationa1ly will be discussed by experts. Boston will lend her wealth of historic, educational, and other varied interests for the delight of visitors from distant sections of our own and other countries, and the convention should prove inspiring to all. To the accomplishment of this and the union and all those responsi- ble for the success of the meetings be- speaks the interest and support of all allied educational agencies and of the public at large.

Local Boards Are Urged to Keep This In Mind When Passing On Claims for Exemption

In considering claims for exemption on account of dependent relatives. local boards are urged by Provost Marshal General Crowder to take closely into consideration the recent act of congress providing family allowances, allot- ments compensation and insurance for the military and naval forces of the United States. which in many cases amount to considerable sums monthly.
 A letter to local boards, just issued, in regard to this matter is as follows:
 Provisions of Act
 To all boards:
 In connection with decisions on claims for discharge on the ground of dependency and for consideration in determining appropriate action relative 10 reopening dependency cases under ihe following important extracts from the act of congress approved October 6, 1917. providing family allowances. allotments, compensation and insur- ance for the military and naval forces of the United States:
 Section 20l provides for allotmentS of pay of every enlisted man, compul- sorry as to wife (divorced wife in cer- tain cases), compulsory as to child, voluntary as to other persons. Month ly compulsory allotment shall be in an amount equal to family allowances hereinafter specified, but not more than one half pay. or less than fifteen dollars. The enlisted man may aliot any portion or amount of his pay in addition to the compulsory allotment for such purposes and persons as he may direct. subject to regulations The secretary of war may require that any portion of one-half pay which is not allotted shall be deposited in the mili- tary pay deposit fund for the benefit 0f the man. Compulsory allotment may he waived on written consent of wife supported by evidence of her abil- ity to support herself and children. Compulsory allotment may be excused for good cause shown.
 A family allowance not to exceed fifty dollars per month, in addition to pay allotted by the man shall be paid out of the treasury of the United States. Such family allowance shall be paid upon application, which may be made by the man, or made by or in behalf of the beneficiary.

 Class B.-Grandchild, parent, brother or sister: A, if there be one parent, ten dollars. B. if there be two par ents, twenty dollars. C. for each grand child, brother, sister. and additional parent five dollars.
 The act contains further provisions relative to contributions from the gov ernment and allotments from enlisted mems pay; but which are too long and involved to be set forth in this telegram. Compensations for death or disability is also provided for.
 This brief resume of the outstand- ing provisions of the act is transmit ted to you in order that you may be officially advised that the government ndu Tldue certdlH prONlSlOHS TOT ue- pendents of men in the military and naval service.
 In order to avoid confusion, it is sug- gested that the boards in your state be merely informed of the general provis- ions of this act as indicated herein, withholding any definite action on specific cases until copies of the act are placed in their hands. Copies of the act have been mailed to your headquarters for distribution to all boards. Any correspondence on, or fur ther information relative to the provis- ions of this act should be had with the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Di- vision of Military and Naval Insur- ance, Treasury Department, Washing ton. D. e.
 This telegram should not be con- strued as directive in any sense; but merely informative. I am confident that the provisions of this act will be considerable aid in disposing of re- quests to reopen dependency cases under the provisions of ruling 12-M.

. U. s. Food Administratio

The main object in circulating these cards, as explained, is to get the peo- pie to cooperate in the conservation of food. It was decided by Food Admin istrator Herbert Hoover and other Washington officials that one of the best ways to enlist the people in this conservation was to have somebody call personally at every home and get the necessary signature to the card pre- scented at each house the argument be- ing that the American people like best to be placed upon their honor as an independent people, and that if their names once go down on piece of pa per, it will be their word in earnest, be their pledge that they will do as the card says
 The advice contained on the home card which will be left concerns mainly the substitution of foods that are plen- tiful for foods that are short in supply. and which pest can serve the purpose which best can serve the purpose of of feeding the allied armies and people of the countries at war.

A card containing the above will be presented to every householder in Mar icopa county during the present week beginning this morning. The cam paign is for the purpose of gaining support of the consumers of food as a means of helping the food administra- tion at Washington.
 pr. J. c. Norton. chairman for this district, assisted by County Manager Nye, have subdistricted this section and there will be numerous workers under a corps of captains so that the work of getting the cards signed can move forward rapidly.
 Dr. Norton last night issued a call to captains and workers of Phoenix only, to meet at the offices of the Arizona Council of Defense at o'clock this af- ternoon to get the necessary instruc- tions and cards.
