COUNTY JAIL WAS \ POPULAR PLACE PAST
 EIGHTEEN MONTHS

Crime is on the increase in Maricopa county, as indicated by figures fur nished by Sheriff w. H. Wilky for the past eighteen months. A total of PISA persons have been placed in the county jail in that period, this being the larg est number of arrests during any simi- lar period so far as shown in the rec ords of Maricopa county.
 These figures. however. do not in clude federal prisoners, which are clas- sified under a separate heading. Will ky's figures Telate only to violations of county and state laws.
 One of the reasons given by the county authorities for the increase in crime is an increase in population. which has been rapid the past year or more, due to the cotton industry and other industries. Another reason given is that many of the best men have gone to the war and this has brought clements to the county which have largely changed conditions that for mery existed here.
 There has been an average of four arrests made daily for the past eigh- teen months by the sheriff's force. As a result the county jail has been ire quently taxed to capacity. During the past several months the daily average number of prisoners has been 76.

CARES FUR FAMILIES
 OF ALI SOLDIERS AND
 SAILORS IN SERVICE

For the purpose of relieving the mind of the soldier or sailor from worry over fear that any members of his family may be in want or need a new section of the American Red Cross known as the home service section, has been established.
 The home service section of the American Red Cross is organized with just one purpose, to see that all fam lilies of soldiers and sailors are main tained in comfort and peace of mind while the men are in service.
 Any soldier or sailor who knows or fears that his family is in trouble should appeal at once to home service. He should go at once to the home ser vice man attached to his division here or abroad. or write to his family to take their troubles to the Red Cross home service section in their home town.
 Men in service know they will be taken care of if they are wounded or sick: they should know also that the are willing to relieve them of worry concerning their families so far as that is possible.
 Relations between home service workers and families are as confiden- tial as those between doctors and their patients. Home service means sym pathy, advice, expert information about laws and regulations. medical care, spiritual comfort and everything which can be given by real friends to compensate the family for the absence of the man in service.

ARIZONA GIRL |S
 UT ID FRANCE
 W|THREDCR05S

Answering the call of suffering hu- manity in war-stricken Europe, Miss Mary Kavanaugh, who for the last sev- eral months has been serving as chief of the accounting division of the fed 'eral food administration for Arizona, left yesterday for an east-coast port for immediate embarkation to France. At the opening of the war, Miss kav- anaugh enlisted in the Los Angeles unit of the American Red Cross. Ever since that date she has been waiting impatiently for the word that would send her flying across the Hun periled Atlantic to act the Good Samaritan to wounded and dying soldier lads, to suf- fering women and half starved kiddies of the war zone.
 Waits For Word
 Day after day Miss Kavanaugh pur- sued her duties at the office of the food administration with the great longing burning in her heart that be- fore another sun she might receive the long delayed summons for departure. Many disappontments were in store, however, for though she received warnings and notifications galore, and though much red tape was wound and unwound and rewound, repeated delays were the only rewards for her eager ness. During all this period she kept in close touch with the telegraph office and her baggage was kept packed that she might leave on an hours notice.
 Comes at Last
 This week the long expected message came. T am delighted to be off" Miss kavanaugh told her friends here as she boarded her train. I feel more strong ly than ever that 1 am needed Over There and the sooner l can get across, the better it will suit me-
 Miss Kavanaugh has not allowed herself to picture the possibility of danger. ,"I used to get chills thinking how cold the water of the ocean would be in winter" she laughingly ex- | plained. But now that I have been compelled to wait until summer, this feling. has left me and I fear nothing.
 Faithful Worker
 Miss Kavanaugh joined the food ad- ministration forces late last year at the time Fred J. Elliott was named food conservation chairman. Previous to that time she had acted as his pri- vate secretary, having been connected with the law firm of Alderman and FL liott of the Globe Miami district for eight years. MT. Elliott gave up his practice to enter war work and bis secretary went with him.
 As a worker in the food administra- tion Miss Kavanaugh has ever taken a heart felt interest in her service, which from a technical standpoint alone have been of inestimable value, ac- cording to officials of that office.
 Miss Kavanaugh is we'll known 1T Phoenix. Globe, Miami and Los An. geles, and she has many friend. throughout Arizona and California She is sister of Mrs. Frank CarlocI land Mrs. Clifford Corp of Globe. Mis-: Katherine Kavanaugh of Los Angele: and Mrs. William R. Bond of For Thomas. Kentucky.

WAR HAS INCREASED
 WOMEN INVENTORS
(London Times)

Not long ago the insignia of the British empire were conferred on woman for an invention requiring ex- ceptional courage and self sacrifice" The official account said no more. Has the war. which has caused women by thousands to flock into industry. and there to grow familiar with engineer ing, led to an increase of the inventive faculty among them?
 Before the war woman's most suc- cessful invention was the curved hair pin with turned-up ends; it was pat ented by a woman who studied in the Royal College of Surgeons before she hit upon the proper scientific curve. Since the war there have been Miss Hallie's papier mache splints and surg icaI appliances. Last year a nurse in Devonshire took out patent for exer- cising the limbs of wounded soldiers, and collapsible stretcher has been patented by a woman.
 The British patent office complies no classification of women inventors. It merely enumerates applications from women.
 Thus for the three years since the war there were 268 applications for pat | ents from women inventors in 1915, 23S in 1916 and 253 in 1917. The figures show a slight decrease. but applica- ticns to the patent office from mas culine inventors have decreased stead- | fly, since many of them are war de- vices to meet war needs, and are, there fore. submitted direct to other bodies Last year over 19,000 applications from men were received at the patent office or roughly, 76 times as many as iron women. But only about quarter oi the patent applications filed are event ually granted. and here the proportion is the same in the case of women. Ou of the 23S applications made by womer in 1916 there have been granted 9 patents

Local Produce Market

California potatoes are still high in price on the local markets, being due to the scarcity of the home grown ar ticle and the inferiority of quality shown by the local varieties. Cabbage is still high and promises to remain so for some time as the vegetable is be- coming scarce on the markets.
 The new tomato crop which is due within a week or so should relieve the scarcity of local vegetables somewhat, but cannot hope to do so permanently or even for long as the crop will not be a large one this year. Until Septem- Der when the root vegetables and the string beans and late cantaloups come on the market, home grown vegetables will be practically off the markets, all demand being supplied from California
