Chamber of Commerce Plans
for Returning Guardsmen
and Will Also Take Up
Question Of Local ArmOry

In line with the general feeling that
those who have gone with the nation
al guard to protect the border should
not be penalized for doing their duty
by returning only to find themselves
out of work the Phoenix Chamber of
Commerce directors yesterday after
noon, at their regular meeting, took up
that matter and also the question of
an adequate armory for the city. A
committee will be named to undertake
the solution of these two matters and
will at once go to work.
There are quite a number of the
guard, men with quite skilled ability,
who will come home to find that their
places are gone. No one could blame
their employers for the work had to
be done and the places filled. Howev-
er, it is necessary for them TO be fur
nished work and this will be the first
problem the solution OF which will be
taken by the committee.
The question OF an adequate armOrN
is one which has been given previous
consideration here. 1t is in the nature
of an issue of preparedness though an
adequate armory could be made to
serve many purposes besides being
merely the home for troops. 1t would
be place for holding such affairs as
the recent auto show given by the
Phoenix automobile dealers, which
was made such a success by the hearty
way in which the dealers worked
together TO make the event a notable
one
Secretary Welch of the chamber of
commerce has assumed the duties OF
secretaryship for the recently formed
Automobile Club of Arizona. H. H
Sylvester, recently elected secretary OF
the club, has found that he was un-
able longer to continue the work. The
club is gaining members steadily and
seems destined to be a big success.

Judge Kibby Returns and
Holds Conference With
President Orme Regard
\ ing Water Developments

.Judee Kibbey returned from WASH
ington Yesterday morning and joined
President John Orme of the water
Users association in an informal con-
ference at the Water Users building
Yesterday afternoon with reference 70
the very important announcement OF
the proposition secured from Secretary
of the Interior Franklin K. Lane by
them. as announced in The Arizona
Republican yesterday morning.
President Orme is of the opinion
that the members of the ASSOCIATION
will sanction the contract suggested
bv Secretary Lane through which the
association will take over the man
agement of the reclamation PROJECT.
He believes, however, that the assocl-
alton would not relish or probably con-
sent to enter into such contract ar
has been made under somewhat SINH
lar conditions between the federal
government and users under other
projects.
The present plan is to press the
matter forward as rapidly as posSlple
and it is possible that Judge Kidney
and President Orme would then go TO
Washington, if the water users sane
ton such an agreement. and there
enter into a formal contract with the
government. 1t might not be neces-
sary to take the trip but again, II Is
likely that so important matter can
not be as satisfactorily concluded IN
any other way.
Project Manager Cone stated yes
terdav afternoon that he feels confl-
dent that the water users Will vote to
enter into the agreement suggested by
Secretary Lane. He even goes farther
and states that he believes that the
! secretary of the interior will insist
that the management of the property
/ be taken over by the association a.
/ the government believes its work 1
! completed and that further manage
ment is better in the users hands.

PLEDGE sanctuary to Binds

From the Peoplese Home Journal.
There are 1914 separate tracts Of land in
the United States embracing $4,000 acres
where any bird is safe from the gun of
the hunter and the oeanshooter of the
small boy. Landowners in every state
in the union have pledged their estates
and farms as perpetual sanctuaries to all
birds. These pledges have been obtained
by members of the Green Meadow club
which was formed by Thornton w.
Burgess, editor of the children's page Of
the Peoples Home Journal. The pur-
pose of this club is the protection of
birds. Scientists of the United States
agricultural department have pointed
out that if all birds should perish from
the earth mankind would starve to death
in year in an unequal struggle with
the insect hordes that are now kept
in check by their natural enemies, the
birds. Believing, therefore, that it was
performing a patriotic as well as a
humanitarian service, the Peopule's home
Journal began some months ago a cam
paign to establish sanctuaries through
out the country where birds could have
absolute safety from their human enc
mics. Urged by the members of the Green
Meadow club, hundreds of landowners
have already taken the pledge that there
shall be no hunting of birds on their
lands at any season of the year.

Lizard Sauirts Blood

From the Popular Science Monthly.
We have about IA species of horned
lizards in this country and most people
still call them "horned toads." Some
of their habits are extremely remark
able, but no&e more so than their abil-
ity to send at will a fine jet of blood
from either eye. This fact is very
rarely touched upon in literature, and
the average reader of the life histories
of our animals has never heard of
this remarkable habit.

How to Get More Coal

FROM Leslie s.
Nothing should be allowed to interfere
with the one great end-a larger output
of coal. Small inefficient, poorly-lo-
Gated and Improbable mines should be
closed down and all available miners en-
ployed in the large, well equipped mines
where transportation facilities are the
best. The industry could then afford to
pay these Improbable mines a royalty
of SO much a ton while being closed
down during the war
Operators feel, too, that the fuel adj
ministrator should be one who has had
years of practical experience in the coal
industry. The President gave Replogle
power to control iron and steel, Pills
bury to control flour and Hoover to
control food. 1t is even more important
that the control =of fuel, upon which all
other industries depend, should be in the
hands of one who has had lifelong exper-
fence in the coal industry.
Why would it not be a good plan to ap-
peal to the loyalty of the coal operators,
to put them on their honor, and abolish
ing all restrictions and red tape, to give
them free hand to speed up production
to meet the war needs of the country ?
We are not getting the required coal by
present methods. Coal operators are pa
triotic and want to do their part in win
ming the war. Give them a free hand for
a month and see if results do not justify
the trial
