STEEL JUNK WANTED
 IN GOVERNMENT USE

A letter is being circulated through the various Scrap Iron and Steel deal CTS throughout the country by the American Iron and Steel Institute un- der orders from the United States, gov ernment which is of much timely h. terest to all dealers in iron and steel junk as well as to all farmers and business concerns which either handle or have on hand quantities of old iron and steel. One of these letters was re- ceived by M. Effron company, junk dealers of this city yesterday. The government wishes to impress on the public mind at this time the absolute need of conserving all materials, es- pecially scrap irons and steel, which may be of value in the manufacture of war materials. Because of its uni versal application the letter follows:
 ITO facilitate the handling of scrap iron and steel for the furtherance of war orders in the mills and foundries, the American Iron and Steel Institute has established a Pacific Coast dis trict, including California, oregon, Washington. Nevada. Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Western Tex as. Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.
 "A member of the sub- committee on scrap iron and steeel has been ap- pointed with headquarters in San Francisco, to whom all district ques- tions regarding prices, distribution of scrap iron and steel, will be referred. An advisory council composed of some of the ablest men in the district is being appointed to assist the commits | sioner.
 The law in regard to the prices at which scrap iron and steel may be .pur- chased and sold is clear and definite and has been approved by the Presi- dent of the United States. Should any changes be made, you will be notified It is expected that the laws and regu- lations will be compiled with. both foi business and patriotic reasons.
 "The government has fixed. the prices to standardize business. pre- vent confusion and profiteering. and tt help win the war. Uncle Sam has al lowed you fair profit and he expects a square deal.
 Scrap iron and steel is essential tt war work at this time. It is first line trench-and the President say you must go over and get it-you vii not fail the President in the hour O the country's needs.
 Collect scrap-Then collect nor scrap-and then some more-and nor and more-you can't get too much.
 Loyal and hard work will win tn war;
 Yours very truly.

The kind of weather this part of the country has been having is hard on the nerves and most of the time keeps them in a frayed condition, In consequence there have been numerous personal collisions among people who do not like the color of one another's hair or the cut of one another's jib.. John Doc Slim was brought before Justice Wheeler yes terday accused of an assault upon the person of Jim Garvin. John Doe Slim says that he was not to blame; that Garvin's rough-neck methods invited all the punishment he re- ceived. Roy w.

CHEERFUL LETTERS WANTED;TE TELL YOUR
 TROUBLES AT HOME

Cheerful letters from home help to produce the proper mental attitude, but confidence that the folks at home lack for nothing is also essential to the well fare of the soldier in the trenches
 This is one of the points emphasized in communication from Charles J. OConnor of San Francisco, director of civilian relief of the American Red Cross. received yesterday by the Home Service Section of the Central Arizona chapter here.
 Any worry about the condition of his relatives or dependents. the con- muaication continues, tends to put the soldier into a condition where he is subject to shell shock. Soldiers un- touched by bullet or shell may, from shell shock, return to their trenches in such nervous condition as to re- auire hospital treatment and a long rest
 Officials of the Central Arizona chap ter are especially desirous that those who write letters to soldiers at the French front make their communica iions as cheerful as possible. eliminat ing petty troubles of their own as far as possible. and only in cases of the most important troubles. refer to them at all. When small troubles and wor- ries arise in the home, wives. mothers sweethearts and others are urged tc bring their worries to the home relief section rather than write them to theil men folks on the battle line.
 The necessity for properly addressing letters intended for soldiers is also 2 matter to which the local chapter de sires to call attention. Complaints from soldiers that they have either no received letters, or that they were re. reived after long delay, have beer traced down. and in most instance. found to be due to incorrect or other. wise faulty addressing.

Ancient Sign
 Is Found When
 WreCkerS Work

When the old building on Wash ineton street west of and adjoining the Fleming block was removed, there was disclosed about midway over what used to e rear door, but was later made window of the Fleming block an ancient sign, bearing the legend. "The Republi can." Many cltizes who now call themselves old timers and pioneers have wondered how that sign ever came to be there.
 The Arizona Republican was the first occupant of the Fleming block. It moved there before the building was quite complete; that is before the first three stories were finished for the building had only three stories until long af- terWard.
 The Republican moved into the frontage of the block immediately north of the First avenue entrance. It had 18 feet there where the bus mess office and the editorial rooms were located. It occupied a frontage of 36 feet in the basement of the building with its composing room, press and job room.
 The first home of The RepubIi- can was in the Monihon building across the street. The business and editorial offices occupied two rooms on the second floor and the mechanical department was i'm medately below. Later the busi- ness and editorial rooms were moved downstairs and year later were moved to the Fleming block. That was in the winter of 1893.
 Less than two years later the pilgrimage of the paper was re- stunned and it was moved into part of the room now occupied by Hanny's store. A year later the paper was purchased by Charles C. Randolph and was moved to 33 East Adam street, where it's growth really began and has since then been uninterrupted. It was moved into it's present homo built for it 10 years ago.

"The Finger of Justice"

Teaching the lesson of the fall of the famous Barbary Coast in San Francisco. vice region known the world over, The Finger of Justice" has attracted attention both for the lesson it inculcates and because of the fact that it depicts vice conditions al, they are in lesser degrees in many other cities in the land. This startling film opens at the Columbia today anu will remain for three days with three performances daily.
 The Finger of Justice" is based upon the Rev. Paul Smiths campaign against the vicious "Barbary Coast" which resulted in the downfall of that notorious district. It is a direct and gripping appeal to parenthood, and portrays commercialized vice as it may and does exist in many of the | larger cities. It is of educational ad- vantage to innocent youth. Systems in some of the larger cities, have been | rudely awakened to the fact that their | day is past, that productions like ''The Finger of Justice have spoken their doom. and commercialized vice. which prcys on the weak will be a thing re- mote. especially when parents awaken to the reality of things and what they owe their children.
