F. Quattrone, Italian high con- missioner to the United States, de- nies positively the statement that wheat shipped from this country to Italy for war use comes back to this country as spaghetti. He also pro- tests the statements that ships avail able for ocean use are lying idle in Italian ports. Both of these charges, Quattrone and other officials believe, are Hun propaganda. Quattrone says that further reduction of ton mage in the U. S.-Italy trade would menace Italy and its army with starvation.

SEARCH HERE T0 FIND BASE FUR
 CONCRETE SHIP

Arizona may contribute materially to her varfed mineral resources to- ward the construction of concrete ships, the first of which ships has been tested and proved successful be- yond the highest expectation.
 G. F. Laughlin, geologist of the United States geological survey, was in northern Arizona recently where he went to inspect some promising occurrences of porus basalt such as is being sought for the building of concrete ships. He made arrange ments with the bureau of mines of this state to make all preliminary tests and field examinations of Ari- zona material before it is turned over to the United States geological survey at Washington
 Considerable interest has been evi- denced in the search for suitable ma terial by Arizona prospectors, bu, little has been found which will an swer all requirements and Arizonans are asked to continue the search with renewed vigor.
 The material desired closely re- sembles in appearance a cellular rub Der bath sponge, although the pores usually average somewhat larger than in the substance mentioned. The rock nearly always occurs near d volcano, and must be so light that l, will almost float in water, but at the same time it should be tough and hard. rough preliminary test of its strength can be made by standing on a small piece. If it will sustain t7ie toe-4 I.1 be considered worth further consid- eration.
 ] Care should be taken in the selec- tion of samples to see that they rep resent a large deposit of unifoi m ma | terial throughout, since small masses cannot be mined advantageously | Samples which have been subjected 10 weathering and alteration should not | be submitted, as they are almost al ways weak, and at the same time 1o not represent the fresh material which might be obtained T few feet i from the surface. A very import ant consideration is the location of | the rock. since it must be practically on a railroad in order to be Of cum mercial value. This is due to the unfortunate situation of Arizona Fl comparison with California and New
 Mexico relative to Pacific or Gulf points. In spite of this factor, the chances are extremely good that Arizona contains quantities of the desired material, and government authorities are extremely anxious to
 acquire suitable deposits in this state.
 Prospectors and others who know
 of the existence of this rock in the
 state should at once submit samples together with full information con-
 corning the location and quantity to
 the Arizona State Bureau of Mines Tucson.

DRAFT BOARDS TO
PICK ONLY MENF|T
FOR FIELD SERVICE

Two developments today in con-
nection with the nations draft ma
chinery held interest for the millions
enrolled to defend Americas ideals
under the selective service system.
They were an order from Provost
Marshal General Crowder to draft
boards to inJct only into service men
who have qualifications for general
military service, and the announce
ment that drafted men will not be en-
rIoyed by the United States Shipping
board when it is plain their intention
is to evade military service.
General Crowdcr warned that Undue
ton of selective men must be because
Of the general fitness of the men for
all branches of military service. He
advised local draft boards to not send
to camps men suffering from ailments
which home treatment might remedy
The War Department, he said, has un-
der consideration plan by which
such rcgistrants will be treated at
home by the Government. and not
sent TO the camps until they are in
condition to render active, efficient
military service.
The War Department announced
that as a large number OF shipyard
workers had been obtained, no defer
red classification would be given reg
istrants because of some special skill
in shipbuilding.
The department made it plain that
once a registrant has been ordered
into military service, a request to
have him transferred to a shipyard
will have no effect.
In the past 1t has been customary to
grant deferred classification to men
who could be used in the nations
shipbuilding program.
