Locomotive Waste Briquets.

Scientific American: 1t is said that
the French railroads alone lose 2O0,-
900 tons of combustible product per
annum, which can, however, be
ready made up into briquets or balls,
and the fuel thus obtained is quite
as good as usual briquets. This pro-
duct is, in fact, no other than the
waste material which collects in the
smoke box of locomotives. and its
heating power is no less than 1000
calories. The war conditions, with
their resulting economy. have now
led to the use of this substance, and
it is stated that a French manu-
iacturer is engaged in the purchase
of the combustible from the rail-
road companies and i'm making up
briquets by its use. A French patent
has been obtained for the use of
this material, one point being that it
is neither coal (Which has been now
burned) nor coke. for it results in
fact from the distillation of coal.

A Swiss National Sport.

the kaiser, whose peculiar sporting
proclivities have been commented
upon in previous issues, was pres

land during the grand maneuvers in
that country. He was attended by 4
Swiss general, worthy son of the
land of William Tell, to whom. as
usual, he Piled his questions. Reply
ing to the kaiser's inquiry as to how
many men Switzerland could put in
the field in a week, the general
estimated that thenumber would be
about 100000. The German emperor
then asked what they would do il
he should come against them with
a million men. The generals reply
should become historic-"In that
case, your majesty, we would all
have to shoot twice" The Swiss

Therefore they are not yet learning

rites of the Church, he more COM
monty gave cigarettes; and his
parchments were mostly ;ests.
Like his associates in the chaplaincy
and in the Y. M. c. A., he let his
conduct do its own preaching.
For it has come to pass among the
soldiers that they have arrived at a
new understanding OF the old truth,
that real religion is ministry.
Once used to be sacred Services"
they now know the sacredness OF
service. The church that talks and
does nothing is not likely to interest
these men who have seen faith in
terpreted by works of lowly useful
ness. Religion on the basis of Jesus
'Inasmuch as ye have done it, has

Brutal in its red rawness and
sincerity, which strips every man
down to his naked soul; life in the
army has no room for shams. This
atmosphere is not salubrious for the
growth Of pretense. Talk-religion
does not get very far, unless it has
the goods" Utter reality rules in
camp and trench. Men know one
another to the limit. Candor is
common to the point of cruelty.
Now it is clear that these men
will not be patient with any church
that tolerates hyprocrites. The con-
gregation which honors the leading
citizens" whose private life and bus
mess are not clean and traight will
not be honored by the attendance
OF returned soldiers. In common
with all other first-hand observers
of military life, | have been I'M
pressed with the amount of discus
sion that goes on among the men
concerning a new social order at
home.
One gets interesting glimpses of
the absurdity of the social distinc-
tions which prevail in civil life.
Here a rich man may be a private
and his former chauffer his ser
geant. Millionaries are in the ranks
and poor men hold commissions. 1t
has been a point of honor with
many high minded sons of privilege
to enlist as common soldiers. Bank
ers, and Y. M. c. A. secretaries
who cash checgks, tell strange
stories of the privates with inde-
pendent fortunes. In this new COM
radeship of the army there are WON
derful discoveries of unexpected
qualities on both sides. A Canadian
officer told me how he had grown
intimate with fellow captain, a
young chap of parts. They had
marched and eaten and slept and
talked together, and the Canadian
had conceived real affection and
admiration for his English comrade.
Whereupon the man from overseas
confesses to a prejudice against
titled folk, remarking that they two
could never have got to be such
friends had he known of the others
position. With some heat, the other
replied, evidently giving vent to
long-accumulated views, That's it!
we were fools-all fools Think Of
the life and the fine people we miss
ed because of these blanked distinc
tions!" Thus, great gulfs have been
bridged by the fellowship of the
army, and all classes have learned

QUALIFICATIONS OF
WOMAN CANDIDATE

Della A. Cole, candidate for the of
fee of county recorder of Pinal county,
is making her campaign on the basis
of qualification, business ability and
competency. Mrs. Cole began her
business career in the office of Lord
& Thomas, the well-known Chicago
advertising agency, and for eight
years made her living as a stenOgra-
pher. Three years of this time was
spent in Phoenix and three in Los
Angeles, her position at the time of
her marriage being that of stenogra-
pher in the Santa Fe office in Los
Angeles.
During the past year Mrs. Cole has
taken testimony at land hearings at
the county seat before the u. G. Com
missioner. She is also a capable and
efficient bookkeeper Although she
makes no mention of it in her an
nouncement, and is not using the cir
cumstance as political capital, it is
pretty generally known that Mrs.
Cole is supporting herself and her
three children, her husband being in
training camp in preparation for SER
vice in France.

WAR SAVINGS SOCIETY
HAS ENJOYABLE DANCE

Bubbling over with War Saving en-
thusiasm is Sonora Under the
auspices of the Latin Protective
league, and in the interest of the w.
S. S. campaign, another delightful
little dance took place on the night
of the 18th. These affairs surely will
help our county chairman, Mr. l.. S.
Gates, in his efforts to boost old
Pinal 'over the top.
Among those present were: Pete
Loya, Vicente Gonzales, Gines Cazor-
la, Abe Aguirre and families. These
gentlemen are among the most active
organizers of these affairs, and much
credit is due them for the very eff
cient manner in which they are han
died.
Judge French, accompanied by sew
eral friends from Ray, who are always
anxious and willing to aid the great
cause, were also present. Mr. Car
men Robes, by his presence, also
helped to make the affair a success.
There were so very many very pretty
girls present it would be difficult-per-
haps dangerous-to say who really
was the belle of the ball. Had one
the temerity to ask vote, however,
Miss Clarito Sotello sure would have
been in the band wagon.

benefit to our government. Quite a
tidy little sum was turned over to aid

FIRST CAR OF ORE
FROM SILVER KING

The first car of silver ore was
SHIPPED on Monday of this week from
the Silver King. The car was billed
to the Ell Paso smelter, and while it
did not contain much of the new high
grade ore recently discovered at the
property, it is expected that very
creditable showing will be made when
the smelter returns are received. The
new high-grade ore that runs as much
as 10000 ounces to the ton, is now
being sacked and hauled by motor
truck to the railroad preparatory to
shipping.
Installation of the Marcy MILL
which is now expected to arrive any
day, will be begun Immediately upon
it's receipt, preparatory to handling
the enormous tonnage of lower grade

voters of this county to advance this

our candidate for judge by practically
giving him the solid vote of the coun-
ty. In the general election in Novem-

dent of the Phoenix Wholesale Meat
and Produce company, spent several
days this week in Ray and it is is his
aim to try and carry out the policy
of the Food Administration, which re-
quires to conserve man power. 1t is
also the patriotic duty of the people
to assist in this work and pay cash
and carry their purchases home. In
this way prices will be lowered and
the customer will save money as we'll
as assist the government to win the
war. Many improvements are also
being made in the market-a new
coat of paint being put on, and it is
planned to make everything pleasant
