agree to do no Americans. 1t would
do much to promote "hands across the
sea-"
Good acting never stands out so
much as when contrasted with that
which is mediocre. Elizabeth Risdon,
of "Seven Days Leave" is able to put
real feeling and appeal into lines which
arc for the most part hardly distin-
guished.
The "carry on" speech Of "Seven
Days Leave" probably presents no &C.
curate picture of an attack, but it is an
effective piece Of theatrical writing for
all that.
One of the reasons why we all like
war melodramas is that they reassure
us so much in regard to German spies.
After an evening in the theatre we
feel certain that we have nothing to
fear from any class which is so habitu-
ally stupid.
If the interests Of patriotism are to
be served, We do not see why the Ger
man female spy should be allowed to
wear a bathing suit so much moro be-
coming than that of the brave English
heroine.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.--Plans for strangling hundreds of millions of dol lars worth of oil stocks and other speculative securities, which the gov ernment considers unnecessary in .he war emergency and hindrances to the sale of Liberty bonds, were announced today by the capital issues committee. Within few weeks the committee hopes to stop absolutely the sale of all stocks and bonds not previously sub mitted to the committee of it's district agencies for examination to determine whether the issues could not better ue postponed until after the war.

COUNTY ATTORNEY
 L. M. LANEY

l.. M Laney IS now serving In his first term as County Attorney of Maricopa County and is ask ing the Democratic nomination for second term. His opponent heretofore has enjoyed five years in the County Attorneys office of this County Gap. proximately three and one-haf years as assistant, and approximately and One-haf years as County Attorney), all under appointment and without the trouble of making campaign, receiv- ing for such employment total salary of over $11,000.00.
 When the Democratic Party had chance to select its nominee at the primary election in 1916, L. M Laney was nominated over two opponents, one of whom, his present opponent was then in the office with powerful political machine of many years standing.
 Laney elected by maj jority of over 120O votes over his Republican opponent.
 Laney thus far has received approximately $4 00000 in salary and after he shall have held the office two years longer will not then have drawn as much in salary as his opponent already has re- ceived from the County Attorneys office Up to the time of Laney's election his opponent had spent in office all the time of his residence in MaricOpa County with the exception of very few months at the beginning.
 Laney has lived for twenty-seven years in Mari copa County and is now holding the first public office for which he has asked.
 That Laney has made brilliant record in the County Attorneys office under most trying lot of difficult and hardfought cases will deny. He has proved his ability to cope successfully with the alarming number of homicide cases that continue to arise.
 His record is no less praiseworthy in the enforce ment of laws touching the morals of the County. While in office he has proved that it is entirely possible to be vigorous prosecutor, yet at the time fair to all defendants, and courteous to all members of the public having business with his office
 No innocent man need fear Laney, but every guilty does.
 His opponent is without an issue and has been un- able to give any reason why Laney should be dis charged and he should be employed other than that he wants the job.
 l.. M. Laney friends submit that it is privilege for Maricopa County to be able to employ lawyer of Laneys ability and integrity for the small sal ary attached to his office.

LIQUOR DEBATE MAY
 DELAY MEASURE SOME
IRepubIican A. p. Leased wire1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Explana- ton of the revenue bill was concluded in the house today by Chairman kitchin of the ways and means com mittee. Mir. Kitchin started speaking yesterday. and members said his ad- dress was the longest ever delivered in the house.
 Probable effect of prohibition legis- lation on the nations revenue was dis cussed by Mir. Kitchin in explaining the beverage section of the war tax meas ure. He also took up the war and ex- cess profits features as well as those affecting corporations and 1uxuries.
 General debate on the bill will con- tinue next week, and leaders tonight revised their predictions for passage of the measure next Saturday. They believe now that minor committee re- visions. possibly of the liquor taxes because of pending prohibition legisla- tion and debate, will prevent final vote before September IT or IS.
 MT. Kitchin in his speech said the bill should be enacted by both houses of congress by November l and he eA- pressed the hope that another war revenue measure next year would not be necessary, although he said that if national prohibition is enacted new tax sources will have to be found to re- place the $1.250. 100000 estimated tax on alcoholic beverages provided for in the present measure.
 Such legislation. MT. Kitchin said probably will not be necessary before next year, although the administration order, announced yesterday. stopping the manufacture of beer December ] next will cause a loss under the pres ent bill of about s120,000,000.

HELP OWNERS ID AID
 SELVESMEWEST PLAN

Help the owner to help himself is the present keynote of dealer service, thanks to conditions brought about by the war. With so many men skilled in mechanics, necessary for war work, dealers find it impossible to maintain a service staff as complete and as eff cient as in peace times. Moreover the government is asking that conservation be the rule, while at the same time it wishes the practical utility of the car developed and emphasized to the ut most.
 To this end Paige dealers are en- couraging their owners to acquire a thorough understanding of the princi- pal mechanical features of the car, so that they can run it to the greatest advantage, secure its maximum ser vice and make at least the minor ad- justments and repairs themselves.
 The new movement is well illustrated in the policy of the Platt- -Fawcett Mo- tor company of Denver and their sub- dealers. For example, the service man from Denver was due in Hayden, Colo rado, recently. Before his arrival the local dealer, who is also the cashier of the principal bank, sent out personal invitations to every Paige owner in his vicinity to meet at the bank at cer- tain time.
 About 25 of the owners, accepted the invitation and were given a compre- hensive and practical lecture on Paige mechanics. Each owner learned much that he did not know before, received valuable pointers on the operation and care of his car and will undoubtedly therefore, be able to drive 1t to much greater advantage. Such intimate knowledge means reducing possible mechanical trouble to minimum, ar ability to make light repairs withou calling on the limited resources of tht dealer and much greater degree ol utility secured from the car.
