TRICKS or THE sHoPLIFTER
This New York Man Used Flshhook
and Line to Pull Desired Article
Up Into His Sleeve.

A man walked into big New York
department store and asked to be
shown some silk petticoats, says the
Pathfinder. The average person would
have seen nothing unusual In the way
he leaned over the counter and I'm
gered the silks, but to the store detec-
tive, trained to keep sharp eye out
for crooks and light-fingered customers,
his actions appeared suspicious.
Moving casually il his direction, she
heard him say: "These things are no
good. You see it's my wife's birthday
tomorrow and I want to get her some
ding nice. Please see IL you haven't
Something better" The clerk turned
to take down more petticoats from the
shelves, and while she was thus en-
gagged the detective saw a silk skirt
rise from the counter and crawl, al.
most like live thing, up the volumin"
GUS sleeve Of the mans coat.
She had him taken to the office.
There four silk skirts and several
dainty, expensive pieces Of merchan-
disc were taken from his sleeves. His
method Of operating was readily dis
covered; a string with big fishhook
attached to It's end ran up his sleeve,
While he fingered over the goods, pre-
tending to examine them, he would
deftly thrust the hook into whatever
pleased his fancy. Then he would
maneuver to take the clerks attention
away from the counter and by pulling
on the string draw the garment up into

Fraorance on Garden Paths.

Have all garden paths with some
plants of fragrance growing alongside.
In some gardens of larger size special
fragrant pathways are built where
they appear to pass through thickets

 WAR OUTLINED
Chairman of Corporation Commission Gives Views as to Methods Which
 Should Be Followed Here

How the railroads of Arizona may become more effiient in the move ment of traffic in general. but in the transportation of troops, munitiOns and commodities for the government in particular has been outlined by F.. A. Jones, chairman of the Ar@on | corporation commission in response to request made by special con- nittee of the American Railways as- sociation for the national defense.
 The exact title of the committee making the request to Chairman Jones is the Commission on Car Ser vice, Subcommittee of the Executive Committee. National Council of De- fense. This committee asks every state corporation commission to call on the shippers and receivers of freight to cooperate and relieve the carriers to better serve the govern ment when called upon so to do.
 The letter sent by Chairman Jones in response to this request is as fol- ows:
 To Shippers and Receivers of Freight
 by Rail, Railroads Operating in Ari-
 zona, and Others Interested:
 The National Council of Defense calls attention to the necessity for CO., operation between all interests, to
 
 transportation unit (freight car) may be obtained.
 It is of general knowledge that there has existed, during the past year or more, a serious shortage of freight cars, and that other railroad facilities have been taxed beyond their capacity.
 The government will undoubtedly call upon the railroads of the coun- try for extra aordinafy and additional service in the movement of troops and supplies inident to the war. The prompt movement of food products and of commodities essential to the needs of the war department is of pressing importance. Much can be done by the shipping public to aid in the expeditions movement of freight in disregarding the established min imum carload weight requirements, and. wherever possible. loading cars to their maximum carrying capacity. Cars can be loaded 10 per cent in excess of marked capacity. Maxi mum loading would greatly reduce the number of cars necessary to move the tonnage now being handled The prompt loading and unloading of cars will likewise increase the efficiency of the rail carriers. Frequently cars al t utiu ulluei lphu ny NOil7ioiiOOf9 e-P to the full free time allowance, when in many cases they could be released much quicker Similarly, shippers avail themselves of the full free time allowance in which to load cars in stead of so arranging their affairs to load and forward more promptly
 We feel sure that the shippers and receivers of freight in Arizona will cooperate in these matters to the fullest extent
 Respectfully submitted. F. 4. JONES, Chairman.

UNITED IN APPEAL FUR
 MILITARY CAMP
Conference Here Endorsed
 by Cities Which Had No Delegates at the Meeting Held in Phoenix Friday

While only Tucson was represented in addition to Phoenix at the canton ment conferences held here yesterday, yet in the action taken the endorse ment of both Prescott and Douglas was received by wire yesterday afternoon Word also came from Senator Smith at Washington that a report from the ar my board with regard to cantonment sites in Arizona had at last been found in Washington.
 The action taken at the conference yesterday was in the form of tele- gram to Newton D. Baker, secretary of war which read:
 Arizona through her state board of trade and the commercial organiza- tions of the different cities of the state. the supervisors of the counties and the municipal governments, ten ders every resource of the common wealth for the establishment of can comments within the state.
 The four cities visited by the army board are united and will gladly accept the recommendations of the board whatever they may be. Arizona pre- sents advantages and facilities for a training camp not to be found in any other state.
 The climate would permit intensive military training throughout the year. State wide prohibition and the social surroundings of the cantonments make the selection of a site in Arizona highly desirable.
 We pledge to the war department the combined resources of the state and the support and cooperation of the state government and of the coun ty and municipal governments where the site is located
 The agreement was general that wherever located Arizona wants one or more cantonments and believes the state is entitled to the same. This was the opinion of all who attended the conference here yesterday as well as the cities reached by telegraph, which were not represented at the confer ence
