 Pounds for Relief of Afflicted Across Seas

As a result of the activity of a group of Phoenix women, a shipment of 7,079 garments to the Commission for Relief in Belgium, was forwarded to the Binghampton, New York headquarters of the commission yesterday.
 Packed in 40 cases the total weight of the shipment was 7,544 pounds. The garments consisted of clothing for boys and girls and men and women, refugees in occupied territory
 For days past, clothing has poured into the Central school building quar- ters that have been occupied by the women engaged in the work. They have made over countless garments for the stricken Belgians, using the thrift principle that is now being practiced everywhere. Dresses were cut down or made over entirely. Bits of good wool were cut away from half worn skirt and made into a frock for a small child. Underwear was manufactured in much the same way and what appeared as odds and ends of materials were turned into very creditable and serViceable wearing apparel. Much that did not need repair was also sent along with shoes and other necessities for the needy folk over the sea.

Saturday, April G. will be Govern ors" day at the Child Welfare clinic and all babies for examination must be present by 10 o'clock. The matter of grading and classifying will be over by o'clock in the afternoon and at this time the prize baby of each class will be given a Baby Bond'', donated by Governor Hunt.
 Donofrios will have a booth on the mezzanine floor and tea will be served to all guests. The serving will be done by members of the Junior Guild. Every mother or prospective mother of Phoe nix and vicinity is urged to take ad- vantage of this opportunity of learn ing more about babies, by those in charge.
 Another large shipment of printed matter for the Child Welfare clinic has arrived from Boston. Among the various pamphlets are some on Better Babies, Motherhood, Prenatal Care. Diet for Children. etc. Also 50 lantern slides showing the proper manner in which to clothe, feed and house babies
 Several mothers have called up the Child Welfare office to ask if no prizes were to be given the babies. A state ment to this effect was made when the clinic was first announced because the awarding of prizes entails a great deal of careful and painstaking work on the part of those in charge of the department of physical examination. Since that time sufficient doctors and nurses have volunteered their services so that it will now be possible to grade and classify the entire enrolment There will be five classes as follows: Babies from birth to three months:

KU K[UX KHAN TALE AT COLUMBIA SOON

The Ku KluX Klans warning to intended victims was three dried peas. Singular, but the order itself was singular and did nothing after con ventional lines. These would be sent the marked man at intervals and no word to accompany them. If he were residing in the south during those troublous days, he would know the significance of those mysterious. but seemingly harmless peas and if he were guilty of a misdeed against either the cause of the south and of it's traditions or the silent, deadly band who thus remembered him, his days were surely numbered and there was no escape from their vengeance but by death at his own hand-and seldom was there that.
 One dared not breathe the name of the organization for fear hls nearest neighbor might belong to it, and many a man suddenly disap- peared because of unguardedly mak- ing a careless remark about the Ku KluX Klan.
 When first hastily gotten together, it is said these modern knights en- rolled the best and noblest blood in the old south, but after their specific mission was completed and a stable

Merchants and Manufactur- CTS Will Aid Movement To Set Clocks Ahead at
 Midnight of March 31

Following their usual custom of standing firmly behind any move pro posed by the federal government, unan- imous and hearty approval was given yesterday to the new daylight saving plan, at a luncheon of the merchants and manufacturers.
 Special emphasis was called to the fact that all residents of this city and the Salt River valley should hold them- selves in readiness to switch their timepieces ahead when the hour ar rives.
 At the meeting, presided over by the new executive, F. A. Engign, num- Der of interesting and patriotic ad- dresses were given.
 T. c. Parker discussed the road sit uation in this state, and also gave warning that in an excess of enthusi- asm over the cotton situation the dairy industry might temporarily be neglect ed, and pointed out that whereas this was one of our greatest assets, the det- riment to the community would be great should it be slighted.
 In an interesting talk, E. F. Parker, of the Southwest Cotton company, told of that concerns progress, and briefly spoke of the patriotic citizens duty to the flag.

SOLDIER VOTING PLAN MAY PROVE
 FUTILE EFFORT
War Department Fears k May Be Impossible for
 Boys at Front to Take
 Advantage of Opportunity

Efforts of a special session of the Arizona state legislature to permit Arizona soldiers now serving the colors in foreign country to cast their bal lots at the coming election. which par ticular purpose is to be placed in the call for the session, may, after all prove futile.
 According to word received in a let ter from Benedict Crowell, acting sec retary of war in the absence of Secre- tary Newton D. Baker in France, the government has decided that it would be impractcabe to permit the soldiers who are now on foreign soil to vote This action was taken. it is said, be- rause of the belief of the officials of the war department that voting would Interfere too greatly with military eff ticiency.
 Regardless of this report, Governor Hunt does not believe that the soldiers in France will not be permitted to vote m the coming election nor that the vot- ing would impair their military eff ciency.
 'I have heard the rumor that the sol 1iers now serving on foreign soil were not to be permitted to vote at the com ng election" said the governor yester- day, but I do not believe that any such action will be taken. The admin 'stration that would not allow the sol liers on foreign soil to vote would be swept out of power at the next cleo iion."
 As to whether the voting would tend tu impair their military efficiency, the governor would not commit himself.
 In addition to the statement that the Nar department had decided against permitting the soldiers on foreign soil Co vote, it was announced that all ar engagements had been made for the sol diers in the cantonments pnd camps in the United States to cast their regular ballots at the coming election.

Russia's Plight Officially Told


 ''The German Curse in Russia is the title of the amazing five reel ot- ficial war film, taken by Captain Donald c. Thompson. showing at the Columbia theater today.
 The pictures show the death bat talion of women going into action. the wounded in the hospitals, the Bolsheviki parades, and their strus- gles with the loyal Cossack troops, fighting in the Carpathians, the ar moured cars flashing through the streets of Petrograd shooting at buildings, closeup views of Lenlne and Trotsky, and the Root commis- sion which strove to offset the work that the German propaganda in Rus sia had accomplished.
 Crazy revolutionists were taking pot shots at the houses, and loyal troops were sweeping the streets with machine guns, while the interpid Thompson took his pictures. Tho keenness with which he was engaged in his work was instanced when he told a. woman who asked to stand in his room in the Astoria Hotel in Petrograd to watch the street fight ing. His camera was often mistaken for some new kind of machine gun and when she pulled the curtains aside, despite his warning, she was shot to death by someone in the street. Ut took so long to get her out of the room," he said, that l lost 800 feet of good pictures.

 Many blood curdling tales were told of their doings and secret and deadly workings.

Western Story at Empress


 A new William Fox photoplay of the most interesting kind is to be shown today at the Empress theater. It is called Six Shooter Andy" and Tom Mix is the star. In this drama he has a role that is distinctly of the western type.
 Six Shooter Andy" is built around a personality that is little known and which, strange to say, has up to this time never found its way into drama or story. Mix is not only a trapper and a pioneer, but a punisher of corruption.
 The story is essentially a romance, the heart is touched at every step, and the delight of those who view it as the work of the hero brings peace and happiness where there had been none before.
 A notable cast surrounds Tom Mix in this production. The young woman in the case is presented by Enid Markey and others who will support him are Sam de Grasse, Charles Stevens, Bob Fleming, George Stone, Virginia Lee Corbin and Violet Rad cliffe.
