GIRLS AID IN DIET
 KITCHEN DUTIES AT
 INFLUENZA HOSPITAL

Enlisted into the service, a group of high school girls are in charge of the diet nursing at the Red Cross emergency hospital at the Woman's club.
 Girls still in their early teens are rendering invaluable service in the present trying times taking over the responsibility of the diet kitchen and in a thoroughly scientific manner are preparing the trays for those who are ill. These young women are relieving a situation that would be serious had they not volunteered to do their bit
 From early morning until late in the afternoon they are on duty. Under the direction of Miss Beulah Wingfield, in strgctor in domestic science of the high school, and Miss Flo Jean Graham of the grammar school the squads are serving.
 At ' o'clock in the morning they don their aprons and masks in readiness to preparing the trays, which are at the patients bedside promptly at s o'clock. The general hospital diet is served to those who arc not seriously i'll, and for the more severe cases a special diet is arranged. The dish washing too, is the work of the high school girls, who are taking the same precautions as the nurses, although they do not come in contact with the influenza patients.
 They enter the kitchen by side door and every care is being taken to prevent them from taking the disease. Cooperating with them are the mem bers of the auto service department of | the Junior Patriotic league, who see to it that they are brought to the club every morning and taken home an evening. The transportation is in | charge of Miss Virginia Stoneman.
 The hospital work, which is demon strating that dietetics has a practical as well as theoretical value to the young women will be given to classes later in the season, Miss Wingfield stated last evening. Both she and Mis-: Graham are gratified at what is be- ing accomplished by the girls, who art working five-hour shifts.
 Those who report for duty each day are Miss Faith Safford Miss Ruth Tis- dale. Miss Pearl Johnson. Miss Selma Irvins, Miss Pearl Edelman, Mis-. Naomi Lambert, Miss Helen Firth Miss Alice Coalter Miss Gladys Echlin Miss Louise Reynolds, Miss Irene Cole man, Miss Jean Mcdonald, Mis-: Frances Loftus and Miss Lucile Banta

SOON T0 MAKE REPORT
 0N COOKED FOOD COST

Alleged ''profiteering" on the part of owners of public eating houses in Arizona is being investigated by the state food administration. In every sizable city and town in the state fair price committee has been named to report to the state authorities
 Many of these reports have been received most of them passing the responsibility to high prices for cooked food, charged in cafes and restaur- ants, to the merchants and jobbers from whom food supplies are pur- chased. No disposition is evidenced to criticise the eating houses or their prOprietors.
 In Phoenix, the committee of five comprises F. J. Price. representing the hotel men; o. D. Anderson, on behalf of the regular patrons; c. c. Little, grocer, and Sol Rosenblad of the Bos- ton Store. B. Carpenter represents the food administration.
 While a preliminary report has been made, in which no charge of exorbi- tant prices is mentioned, the final re- port is withheld pending further in quiry. Careful records are kept by the city administration, showing cost per meal. cost of help and other de- tails for three years. The eventual finding of the committee will be made public

CONCRETE WORK IN
 NEW ADDITION ID
 CAPITOL |S BEGUN

Actual construction of the addition to the state house was begun yesterday under the direction of J. L. Crisman, superintendent of construction.
 Pouring of the concrete for the floors, column foundations and side walls was begun at [ a. m. yesterday and will continue without stop until the ground level is reached and the water, which has caused intending trouble and long delay in the work. is permanently shut out. Flood lights have been provided to make the night work as easy to carry on as in day time.
 All the forms and reinforcing have been placed up to the ground level be- ! fore starting to pour the concrete, so that there might be no stop and con sequent cold joints" that might leak. Truscon Waterproofing is being used in the concrete for this part of the building as an additional precaution | against leaks.
 Concrete pouring is proceeding at the rate of 500 yards every A hours, requiring three days of round the clock work to pour the basement.
 In order to have both the weight and strength to resist the considerable | pressure of the water the floor will be 1 two feet thick, composed of six-inch 1 lower slab facing down, a foot of sand 1 packed hard and top slab of the same | thickness as the lower, the whole jot | done at once
 MT. Crisman estimates that the con-
 crete will have set hard enough ir
 about ten days to permit stopping the l pumps.

SENATE LOWERS
 PROPOSED TAX 0N
 PASSENGER MOTORS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 19.- Motor car owners generally will un- hesitatirsly acquiesce ir the revised taxation which the senate finance co:n mittee has just placed upon self-pro- pelfed vehicles that are now in use." comments President David Jameson of the american Automobile association, referring to the action of Chairman Simmons and his senate associates in practically cutting in half the horse bower tax contained in the taXatl0n measure passed by the house Of repre- oer,tatiNeS.
 Tt was to be expected that the auto mobile would be included ir the things selected for revenue raising, for, while the average car is nine-tenths utility, we must grant that a fraction o. its operation is for enjoyment purposes" ayers the A.A.A. head. With the new rates extending from the lower powered cars at s and the highest ones at s25, there can be no pronounced objection, especially since the senate committee also cut in half the tax on new cars, reducing it from 10 to 5 per cent and took similar action in regard to tires and accessories.
 Tn the communication addressed by the A.A.A. to the senate finance con- 1 mittee, we set forth that the automo- bile already had received considerable taxation attention in the several states and in consequence it would be only just that in passing upon any federal excise lmpost, even for war purposes, this fact should be kept in mind. The | findings of the committee would indi- | cate that our statement of the case | may have met in no small degree the views of members.
 We also presented to Chairman Simmons for interpretation the ques- tion of the taxation of car not in use | during the war period, owing to the presence of its owner in service on the other side. The point was raised by one of our directors, Major John A. Hawkins, also an officer of the Auto mobile club of Pittsburgh, who wanted to know if man serving his country would be expected to pay tax on a car which temporarily rested on jacks. Chairman Simmons brought the sub ject before the committee and a prompt reply came to the effect that in the case of an automobile that is not used at all there is no tax; the tax is upon the use of the car Previously there had been some doubt in the matter. and the declaration of the senate com mittee will be accepted with satisfac- ton.
 When the senate will have passed its war tax measure, and it's conferees and those of the house come together, it is to be hoped that the representa- tives will concur in the action of the senators in giving the motor car it's proper place as present day neces- sity"

MEN RUSH T0 BOARD
 FUR PHYSICAL TEST

A corps of physicians under the di- rectiOn of Dr. A. B. Nichols last night examined the largest number of men at any one time since the Maricopa county local board was established.
 There were 125 men called to appear for examination, but 150 men came in stead. Some of these explained that they could not be on hand later in the week when they had been notified to appear and some were men called for a former examination and were not ex- amined at that time.
 Examinations will continue all this week, an average of 125 men for each night. The board last night said it did not approve of men coming for eXami- nation out of their turn as it makes too much work for the physicians. The board also advised that men coming for examination should bring their notices with them, as the notices contain their numbers. All failing to bring their mo- tices will be sent home for them
 The examinations start promptly at ' o'clock and all notified should be on hand at that hour.
