R|VETERS BUSY IN CUTTING RED TAPE
 IN GETTING START

Tangled up in red tape, the class Of 20 men recently organized under the direction of I. Colodny, state di- rector of vocational training, for the purpose of learning the trade of rivet- ing and thus be able to assist the gov ernment in the war industries for which there is such call for help, is not making much progress.
 If the other war industries of the government have encountered as much red tape in proportion as we have in getting this class in riveting started said MT. Colodny yesterday, T can readily understand why so little pro- gress forward has been made in some instances"
 At only one place in Phoenix, the shops of the Arizona Eastern yards, are there facilities for air riveting, and it was the intention to use these shops and this machinery in teaching riveting. Superintendent Scott of the Arizona Eastern being willing that the railroad facilities should be util- iZed.
 Later it was learned that govern ment regulations prohibited the ad vertising of any labor shortage in such shops. When this difficulty seemed to be in a fair way of being overcome there appeared another obstruction.
 If any member of the class learning riveting should be injured while in the shops of the Arizona Eastern that railroad would be liable for personal injury damages, according to the laws of this state, sit was stated. To pro- tect the railroad from such a possl- bility it was suggested to MT. COlodny that he bond each member of the class in the sum of 5000 or $10,000.
 MT. Colodny declared that this would be impossible, and added that he had called the entire matter to the atten- ton of Hale Holden, regional direct or, asking for ruling in the cast which would clear away the red tape and permit the class to get down tc work.

It wasn't a riot that shattered the air of Washington street early yester- day afternoon, sent the dogs scooting to shelter and caused the telephones at police headquarters to jingle as anxious people called to learn the cause of the disturbance.
 Nothing of the kind. Only the car rier boys of The Republican on their way to their annual outing and water melon feast at Joint Head.
 There were 40 of them. Count 'em, 40 All genuine carriers and no ring CTS. They departed from The Repub- lican office at Second and Adams streets shortly after o'clock aboard Chambers Transfer company truck a cheering. shouting, yelling, hooting, bowling gang, without a care in the world and trained to the minute to eat watermelon.
 Last kid in's a -1," was the shout when the load reached Joint Head. And no one wanting to be a -, every last kid was in the water at the expiration of three and a half seconds
 There was diving for nicfels, fancy diving, flip Hopping and belly smash ing for prizes. three or four of the really fine divers taking the drop from the 25-foot platform.
 Loath to quit the water, even to eat watermelon, the 40 finally were coaxed out and the luncheon prepared. Thirty large watermelons were pro- vided for the 40 boys, but in 15 min utes after the word was given, there was no vestige of melon in sight, ex- cept rind, and the boys were clamorng for more
 More swimming and more other sports and the outing was over, the boys arriving back in the city about s o'clock, tired and happy, but still able to yell.

SHE'LL" PLURAL OF "SHELL"
lSaturdav Evening Postl

Another thing in which the gas shell has the advantage over the cylinder gas is in getting surprise, which is naturally much easier to effect with shell. By the way, if the reader wishes to be counted among those who know, he will always speak or write the plural of shell without adding final "s." To talk of number of shells is very civilian.
