Thinks France will
Recuperate Rapidly
From w ar's Effects

Lieutenant Nielsen Lange, who is
now in France, has many friends here
who will be interested in the follow
ing letter received from him yester-
day by the editor Of the Telegram:
On Active Service with the american
Expeditionary Force, France, Oc-
tober 16, 1918.
My Dear Mr.. Hetherington:
Right here in the richest part OF
France-very intensively cultivated
and at present almost dream picture
of fall with all the beautiful colors
mixed in great profusion and now and
then bright sunshine playing on it,
there Is quite lot of wine now ripen-
ing. Had look at the whole region
from the air and really it was 4 reve-
lation to look down on such beauty.
The French roads are very fine
although they are somewhat worn at
places, mostly around the military
camp where for years they have seen
excessive traffic and lack of repair
Now the German prisoners are trying
10 catch up with repair work, and, Of
course, in time France will recover
and very likely much faster than we
expect I can't help thinking of the
city Of Dayton and its wonderful re-
covery after its destruction by the
flood Of 1918. France may do as yell
as Dayton did and give the world one
more surprise. The French people
are working along steadfastly and II
1t were not for the cripples 1t would
be hard to see effects of the war back
of the lines. Paris carries on as al
ways and is quite gay although nc
dancing is allowed and the opera is
closed on account of the war.
The French people are very nice
to the Americans and treat US we'll
! OF course some commercial people de-
over-charge us il they can get away
with it, but then 1t is only teaching
us to use better judgment and oul
pride ought to compel us to act as
reasonable human beings and not likt
dupes-easy to prey on by unscrupu
lous merchants.
The khaki clad soldiers seem to b.
everywhere and they are making {
good name for themselves as quick
witted and handy in pinch o
course they have not lost any of thei
idea of the United States, and the
will be happier when they return AM
much wiser in the future. One thin
they all have learned to admire is tn
economy of the French people an,
the endurance and skill to manag
with but little to do with
With best regards to you and your
and mutual friends,
Sincerely. J. NIELSEN LANCE.

COMMISSIONER
 |S NUT IMMUNE

Cit, Commissioner J. A. R. Irvine, in office less than one week, was arrested yesterday morning by Policeman Suth- erland, just like common, garden variety of lawbreaker. When he ap- peared before City Magistrate Frank Thomas later in the day and admitted his guilt, but pleaded ignorance of the law, the judge did with him just as he has done in hundreds of other like cases - give warning and deferred sentence during good behavior. The facts are these:
 When Commissioner Irvine drove his automobile up to the curb at the Gen. tral Pharmacy, Central avenue and Washington street, he found little space in which to park. Accordingly he ''nosed" his machine up to the curb, the front wheel in proper position, but the rear wheels far away from the curb. In other words, he failed to park his machine parallel to the curb.
 Comes watchful Sutherland, alert for just such infractions or the law. With out barley and without determining the identity of the owner of the car, the officer proceeded to ''tag" the ma- chine, notifying the then unknown owner to appear and tell it to the judge
 It was badly beflustered commits sioner who made his way to the city hall and before the august presence of the city magistrate, who on commits sion meeting day takes orders from the commissioners instead of giving them. There was an amicable understanding before the conference ended and Con- missioner Irvine departed with copy of the traffic rules and regulations bestowed carefully away in his inside pocket for future reference.

STORE SALE OF
 STAMPS WINNER

Responding to the presidents appeal that mercantile establishments do their best to promote the sale of thrift stamps on May 6, Goldwater's con- ducted a campaign throughout the day which resulted in the sale of s50075 in thrift stamps. Each of the 50 sales- people wore a badge announcing that the wearer was a salesman for thrift stamps. In quiet and unobtrusive fashion each customer was offered the opportunity to take stamps and the sale of over 2,000 of the little stickers indicates that most of the customers did so.
 The total does not include the sale of baby bonds-just thrift stamps.
 B. M. Goldwater is director for the mercantile interests in the thrift cam paign and he, personally, took much interest in planning the campaign of Monday. Many of the plans used suc- cessfully to sell stamps were his.
 One very effective method was to ask customers, when change came, If the customer wanted the change in cash or some of it in stamps. This resulted in many sales.

MIR. MURPHY AFTER
 MIR. CRAY'S WEALTH

NJ. Joe Murphy, detective, is direct ing his inquisitorial talents in the di- rection of the hoarded wealth of one R. A. Gray. He is not depending upon his own sleuth-like skill, but has sought the aid of the courts In his name, Loren F, Vaughn has filed suit for damages against Gray in the sum of s10,000 for damages alleged to have been suffered by reason of his arrest on the complaint of Gray, charging him with embezzlement of the property of the Arizona Kennel club, of which he was for time superintendent and secretary. The case never came to trial.
 The specific damage, Murphy all leges, consists of a lowering of the lit erary value of his contributions to pa- pers and magazines devoted to dogdom and depreciation of his value as a judge at dog shows, at none of which he has been called upon to officiate since the filing of the suit.

The Message of ''National Bicycle Week"

This is National Bicycle Week. May to il; and also "Thrift Week.; and they both bring i'm portant message of economy, health and patriot ism to the door of every and woman. National Bicycle Week" is an appeal to the bus to ride bicycle and set an example in the community; to women, whether they are help ing to keep the home fires the fires of industry burning; to workmen, who owe greater physical capacity to their labor and who need the vitality which riding wheel gives them and to the boy and girl on whose good health the future of the nation largely depends.
 "NationaI Bicycle Week" removes the bicycle from the field of sport and stamps it means by which obtain mental relaxation in times of distress and an economic necessity in the home and in busi-
 
 People are taking stock" a national scale, checking up new appraisals in terms of ability to do big things.
 The nations which come out of this victorious will be the nations which display the ability not merely to defeat the foe in the field but mpover ishment at home.
 The victorious army must return to land of plenty. The financial and physical condition of the individual who has remained at home will in- dicate the condition of the country whole. No American should endeavor to make money out of the war, but he should conserve his earnings and his earning capacity and be a better ally and physically at the wars close than he was at it's beginning.
 The big message which "National Bicycle Week" seeks to carry the broad land is conservation of time and health; to make yourself physically fit, although you may be beyond the draft age; to cut out extravagances and buckle down to real economy, convenience and health
 It is not much the high cost of living which staggers us today as the high waste of living Un- der present conditions there not many ways in which save; has to hunt for them d gently.

unseemlY Actions of Pupils

At the senior play last Friday even- ing it was noticed by several, in fact it might be stated by about half the audience, that g. certain youth sitting in the upper regions of the balcony was acting very effusively toward a female appearing youth of his own age. Upon closer inspection it was discovered that both the youth and the object of his love-making were members of the sex wearing sus- penders.

So many unobserving people have been of the opinion that the automobile completely killed b- cycling. They are surprised when they learn that than half million new bicycles Made in the U. S. A." sold every year. In addition to that, thousands of used wheels exchange hands an- nuaIly.
 There is not State in the Union in which the sale of new wheels does not increase in volume every year. There is not foreign country of any conn mericaI importance which does not buy American made wheels.
 Since the United States went into the the manufacture of bicycles has increased enormously. Our War Department has purchased thousands of wheels for at home and abroad. One facturer received an order for 10000 wheels made to government standard and to be known the Liberty Bicycle"
 State military authorities have purchased wheels for the training of home defense bicycle corps and new wheeling corps have been added to the boy scout organization.
 The American bicycle industry reports, through the United Cycle Trade Directorate, its national as socaton, that it is experiencing a period of un- usual prosperity. This is not due entirely to the use of bicycles for war purposes.
 Advancing street fares and deficient street car service two factors which are bringing the bicycle back into favor. Daylight saving is other condition which has favored a general of the wheel People are learning to rise early, fast, do big days work and still conserve time and health
 The low cost of the substantial, good-Iooking modern bicycle brings it within the reach of all, and it's mechanism has been greatly perfected, making it easy to ride and safe for the mex perenced rider.
 An international bicycle revival is most apparent. More than 1000 cities and towns in the United States and Canada celebrating National Bi- cycle Week."
