Dress Standardization

One thing to be guarded against and which has not been guarded against in all work is hystera. great many we'll meaning people have thought that they aiding the nation by running around in circles. Anything that kept them in ton believed by them to be effort to make the world safe for democracy. In these circumstances have had many foolish suggestions because the suggesers could think of nothing better felt it patriotic duty to put the best in stock for ward.
 Among the proposals by which it is proposed to put the Hun the blink is the standardization of women's apparel We hope that the American women will stand out against any proposal for the standard zaon of dress if it is meant by that that shall clothe herself in impersonal and hideous mode, suggestive of the of subjection which oriental women accept along with their other indignites That is not the way win the war.
 To attempt to coerce the women into an attitude to fit somebody's idea of national economy would be to insult their intelligence and reflect upon their patriot every American woman is ready to reduce her ward robe by whatever measure of reduction the public interest may demand.
 But she is not willing to have busy bodies tell her how her skirt shall be cut in order to please a clothes administration or how her blouse shall be fashioned to it from being pretty. Our women will gladly dress in gnghams and calicoes cut the times and exigences of the should demand it. but they will have to be shown that such necessity exists

The Submarine Blockade

A week ago an incoming captain stated on his arrival at "an Atlantic port" it does not make much difference now which one that he had sighted a sub marine. Naval officials calmly informed the country that he was mistaken. He had sighted something else which his super-heated imagination had iurcd into a German submarine. A whale for n- stance
 It transpires that whatever this captain saw, there was other cause of trepidaton this side of the Atlantic for the port of Havana closed nine days ago. on what information we do not know. The events of yesterday prove that it was not a need less precaution.
 We have from Washington yesterday this char acterisc, probably inspired statement, following self reorganization on the remarkably low loss of life"
 Submarine blockade in the principal tranport lanes and about the territory containing the prin- cpal embarkaton ports for the American army has long been counted upon by American naval officers as one of Germanys last moves and preparations have been made to meet it.
 When and how were these preparations made? They certainly did not meet it Sunday, yet has the blockade which has closed every American At antic port been met, for ports still closed and merely guessing at the number of sub marines at work. It is reported that two have been seen
 But for the work of the submarines we would know little about it yet than knew after the discreded sea captain reported that he had a submarine.
 It is that such raid regarded within the range of probabilities We knew from the visit of the Deutschland and the murderous trip of U53 that such a thing was possible. We also knew that Germany had no conscientious scrupes against such a raid and it evident that closely guarded as the transportation lines on the other side, this would be a rich field of operation.
 We also knew that Germany had constructed cruiser submarines and that some of them had been beyond the cordon of allied guard ships. Not long ago one of them entered Spanish port That they would the Atlantic was a reasonable con- lecture not only by American naval officers but among aymen. It is therefore strange that the sea captains report should have been received with of- fcial Increuuy and seaports left open.
 We hope that preparations have been made to speaking it must be admitted that the preparations did not meet it.
 As a move, the blockade not be effectua. It is annoying and delaying. It will hold up shipping for time for transports and cargo ships will cautiously until the last vestge of the blockade has disappeared But the submarines cannot long remain in western Atlantic waters and escape. Un- doubtedly our available force of warships and es- pecialy of destroyers which have done good work abroad is sufficient clear the Atlantic coast of the blockading submarines.

Residence Burns During FamiIy's
 Ahsenee

Sunday night at about 10 o'clock the house located on the Robert Scott ranch, one mile northeast of Mesa, oc- cupied by the Jesse Hill family, was destroyed by fire while the family was visiting in the l.. B. Johnson home in Mesa
 The fire was first discovered by Don Brimhall, a .neighbor. as he was re- turning from letting the water into an irrigation ditch. Brimhall at once gave the alarm, but practically every thing in the house was burned. The origin of the blaze is unknown, though the supposition is that thieves, in attempting to steal clothing. dropped a lighted match. This supposition arises from the fact that no loose matches are kept in the house, but are kept in closed tin box. and the kitch- en stove, the only place where any | fire had been. is located on the oppo- site side of the building from where | the first flames were seen. They ap- peared to MT Brimhall to be coming | from a clothes closet in which a num- | Der of new garments were hanging. The furniture belonged to the occu- pants and much of it was new, among other things, a new piano having re-
 gently been installed. The loss on the household goods is estimated at $2,000
 MT. Scott estimates the value of the
 house at s1,500. There was no insur- 1 ance on either

TEMPE STARTS BIC
 WAR STAMP DRIVE

TEMPE, June 4.-Tempe started her War Saving stamp drive today and sold near $500 worth of Baby bonds.
 While this may seem large to the casual observer, when we stop to con- slider that Tempe is about 60 per cent behind with her quota it shows that she must come alive on this proposi tion.
 This can not be left to the children. It is strictly a mans sized job.
 The Tempe districts quota is s79,000 and the town is so far behind with it that it will take an average of $320 per day from now until January to raise it.
 The government must have this money and the people will have to put it up either by buying Baby bonds or by taxation.

WHAT'S CHEWING GUM IN FRENCH?

M. c. A. workers never had a vision of selling chewing gum But while I hand my little counter. Say what's chewing gum in French? wanted to tell French lady how to use it, and didn't know what they called it in their lingo. We'll now think good deal of these ladies over here.

Well, I'll be jiggered if every one of them didn't bust right out crying, What dyou know?
