ing out IN urgent appeal for clerical help in the Departments.
Knitting has almost disrupted the efficiency of son of the government
departments. Military and naval officials do lot look upon the knitting with
entire approval Secretary of War Baker has taken occasion to make deferen-
tal remarks about the practice in public. II is claimed here that the percent
age of sweaters and wrislets which reach the boys in active service is small.
Either this is because the knnters keep their work, once finished, IT because
of some irregularty and lack of system of distribution. At any rate, several
winds, were found struttng about clad in sweaters knitted by kind hands.
Knitting u.s. of course, a wonderful "a service, If directed in the right
way. But there is a fear that knitting is becoming a fad and is occupying the
time that might be used to a better advantage in some more permanent sort
of war work.
Gorgeous knitting bags of course, add a great deal to the appearance of
any street costume but is it the purpose Of this wal to make u American
girls more fetching?
Are you using all your wool to q good advantage? Do you eve find your
handiwork too good to be sent away, and keep it yourself a a added but n
necessary garment?
Knit on, girls, but be sure you are right. Don't waste your time dawdnng
with knitting when you might be in the kitchen cutting down the food con-
sumption, or in Red Cross headquarters making bandages.
Be surrey you are right then knit ahead.

says: printing and binding for 1917 exceeded that of 1916 by over 80 per
cent and it can readily be seen that if a urgent necessity for more working
space existed in 1916, the demand for nor oom at this time is a impera-
Tive one.
Halls and passageways re now used for storing signatures and in some
cases presses have been stopped n certain work because the bindery or other
divisions through which the jobs must progress could not at nee accept the
work by reason of lack of space. In order to carry On the work at all it has
been necessary to use the old building for both storage and production. Con-

ADJUSTMENTS
"AIi 1abay at the American

A gorgeous picturization of the Orient through which was woven a de- lightful story of the Arabian Nights, opened a three-day run at the Ameri- can theater yesterday when the 1919 extravaganza Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" was given it's first local showing. The story is familiar to all, but it was the stupendous production. together with the remarkably clever characterization, that made this photo play one so we'll worth seeing.
 Those who saw the previous William Fox extravaganzas. Jack and The Bean Stalk" and Aladdin" will find that "Ali Baba' outdoes even the -splendor and interest of those suc- cesses. There seems to be no limit to the capacities of the clever cast to protray in the most interesting and vivid manner the emotions and the characters of the romantic heroes of ancient Persia.
 The beautiful feature is supple mented with the latest Animated Weekly and Charlie Chaplin in "Oh What a Night" and will be repeated 1 today and tomorrow.

30 PER CENT ANSWER . CHRISTMAS ROLL CALL

Preliminary checking of the names of those who responded to the Christmas Roll Call of the Central Arizona chap ter of the American Red Cross shows that about 80 ner cent of the people supposed to have been enrolled took membership. This is believed to be in keeping with the other records made by the state in comparison with what has been done elsewhere in America during the same period.
 One of the striking features of the closing day of the Roll Call was the showing made by the street canvassing team at Central Avenue and Washing : ton street. This team of three took in 194 memberships durin' the day. On the team were Mrs. Harlan Couch, Miss Helen Holderman and Mrs ]. H. Smith
 The team having the booth at that corner on Saturday bravely 'battled with the rain and made a good showing even a remarkable one, weather con sidered. Those on that team were Mrs Joe E Richards, (Art Rick); Mrs. Der Welch and Miss Tina Brown.
