TELLS OF SINKING
 GERMAN SUBMARINE

Louis McMurtry, brother of c. O. McMurtry of Phoenix, has written home telling of the interesting experi- ences he has had while conveying troop ships to France, and of the sink ing of a submarine off the Atlantic coast
 His letter reads as follows:
 Norfolk, [. S.. June IS, 1918.
 Dear brother and family:
 am glad 10 say that we have credit for the sinking of a German subma- rine somewhere off the coast of New York. We were helping convoy 50.ooo soldiers across when a periscope of submarine popped up between us and the troop ships.
 A big battleship was first to see it. The submarine dived and we went after it full speed. It was 7:45 &. m. I was eating breakfast when I heard the guns Of the battleship booming. They sounded general quarters and everybody got their life preservers and went to their stations. Mine was on top deck at the time. When We got about where the submarine dived we dropped six depth bombs. Some of them threw water 100 feet high and higher. Electric light globes, oil and stuff came to the surface.
 We lowed in an airplane on our way back. It was on patrol duty 57 miles at sea. We helped convoy somewhere about 800 miles, turned around and came back. One of our lookouts re- ported a torpedo fired at us one night but I don't know whether it was true or not.
 My address is the same as before.
 Will close. hoping this finds you all we'll,
 BROTHER LOUIS.

HARRY CANNING IS
 PLEASED BY FRANCE

A letter from Harry Canning with the American eXpeditionary forces to his father J. w. Canning, indicates that he is enamored of France and all of his surroundings. He writes among other things: "I would hate to be at home wearing civilian clothes.'
 He writes that he had served time in one of the front line trenches but at the time of writing was resting in the rear. He said though. that he was anxious to be back where there was some excitement going on.
 As a resident of Phoenix he could not see much good in the Red Cross and similar organizations which have for their avowed purpose the up- lifting of humanity. But in France he has seen the Red Cross, the Y w. C. A., the Y. NJ. C. A, the Red Star animal relief and the Salvation army in action and he does not be lieve that the war could be carried on very well without them.

CASE UP
 IN SUPERIOR COURT

Declaring that he had executed and delivered to Ella B. Bradley a bill of sale of mining stock when he believed that she was his wife A. H. Parker yesterday petitioned the court to set aside the bill of sale and declare him the legal owner of 5000 shares of the United Arizona Copper Mining ana Smelling company. In his complaint, Parker declared that he turned the property over to the defendant when he thought the marriage relation ex- isted. He has since learned that a former marriage, which he believed dissolved, was in force and effect.
 Some weeks ago the defendant in the present action had her marriage to Parker set aside on the ground that his wife, Lucretia J. Parker had not se- cured a divorce, as she had under stood.

SABOTAGE ACT
 ALLOWED ID BE LAW

Governor Hunt yesterday allowed the anti-sabotage bill to become a law. In a statement accompanying its transmission to the secretary of state, the governor approved the pur- pose of the law but he rather se- verely criticised the form of it. say ing:
 The bill after remaining with me 10 days, Sundays excluded, after final adjournment of the legislature, and not having been filed with objections or approval, thereby becomes a law
 Although this law is exceedingly poorly drawn and vague in it's term, am unwilling to dsapprove it. as its fundamental principle is sound and as old as law itself. It is however, unfortunate that such nasty and loosely prepared legislation. such as this act and others passed in the first special session of the third Ari- zona state legislature, should become a part of our laws. Legislative bod les and universities throughout the country are alert to all current law making and such bill as this not only reflects upon the legislative body that framed it, but reacts unfavor- ably upon the entire state. We are fighting for the ideals and preserva- ton of our democratic form of gov ernment and it is to be gravely ques- toned whether we are living up to those ideals in passing laws such as this one. but, since disappearing it might be construed to mean the ap- proval of unlawful acts. which would be equally against the theory of true democracy, I am reluctantly con- strained to allow this bill to become a law"
 The looseness of which the gov ernor complains in not only this act but in others resulted in a large part from the amendments to which II was subjected.

-O------------- DRILLING HARD STEEL

In preparing drill to be used on hard steel, the drill should be heated to an even red heat, the scale II, : moved and. the tip of the drill be touched to a drop of quicksilver and then be quenched in water. After this treatment the drill will go through the hardest steel without trouble. A simple method of tempering small tools quickly is to heat them red hot and then thrust them into potato, after which they should be drawn to the correct temper to remove brittle ness.

This wonder story of California when the gold days were making history in that. state is so excellent a value for Mary Pickford that one wonders why the sweetheart of America had not done this picture long ago.
