ing at any speed, would be practically impossible, and it was necessary, therefore for the airships to hover in order to discover any objective for their bombs.
 Some of them are known to have remained with their engines cut off for two hours, with the result that the engines became cold. Even oil freezes at such height. It was inn possible to re-start the engines with out descending to a dangerously low level, and in consequence the Zep- pelins were at the mercy of the wind, which soon carried them over French territory.
 When daylight came, and the crews of the wandering Zeppelins found themselves over a hostile country, they realized that desparte measures were necessary to save themselves. Accordingly, they descended to a con- siderably lower level in order to re- start their engines, one even, as al ready reported, coming right down to earth and then reascending. The French airmen were quick to seize their opportunity, and this is why five of the raiders will never again return to Germany.

 The whole number of patients treated during 1917 has been 91. the average number 29, counting the summer months. The number of free patients has been 21; of those cared for at re- duced rates, 23 of those who have paid the actual cost of maintenance, AT. In spite of the increase in the cost of liv- ing, the average cost of maintenance has been s16.34 week in comparison with S15.24 last year. The average amount per week by patients has been $9S5.
 It is gratifying to report that "St. Lukes in the Desert" an outcome of St. Luke's Phoenix made possible by the generous gift of two friends, has already begun it's beneficient work. The Arizona Health League, with an annual membership of $5, an associate membership of $500. has been estab- lished to carry on the work of these two Homes, and also to provide funds Tor the care of patients who need the cooler climate of Prescott at "St Luke's Tn the Mountain" during the heat uf summer.

EXCURSION T0.
 TROOP REVIEW
 BEING PLANNED

With interest increasing daily in Phoenix in the coming review of the 10th division of the national army to be held at Camp Kearney, California, on Friday, March &, the possibility of an excursion from this city and others on the route to en- able large number of Arizona peo- pie to witness the spectacle likewise becomes more favorable.
 The review to be held next Friday was postponed from February P, when rain prevented the review and disappointed a number of Phoenix people who made the trip at the in vitation of General Strong, command ing officer of the division.
 The officials of the Santa Fe railroad have informed Colonel Chas. w. Harris, adjutant general, that if party of 150 people is formed for the trip to Camp Kearney, a round trip rate of one fare will be made for the occasion
 If this excursion is run as con- templated, there will be little time lost on the way, as the train which leaves Phoenix on Thursday nigh- will arrive at San Diego at about noon of Friday in time for the party to reach Camp Kearney at 13O o'clock, the hour the review is sched- uled to start. Returning, the excur- sionists may leave San Diego either on Friday or on Saturday night
 This excursion would give Arizona people a splendid opportunity for a visit with the boys of the 15Sth in- fantry, which contains the former First Arizona regiment of state militia. Undoubtedly this regiment soon will leave for Europe, the boys expecting the order to entrain al- most any day now, and the visit on next Friday will be the last chance to see the boys before they cross the sea.
 Always proud of the Arizona regi- ment and of the boys who sine. have joined the 15Sth infantry from 1 this state, the party who went tc | Camp Kearney in expectation of wit messing the review on February 2s declare that it is the finest regiment | in the 10th division and that there can be no finer one in the whole national army. It is fully equipped and the boys are trained and fit.
 Colonel Harris requests those who wish to join the party to Camr Kearney on March to telephone him at his office at the state house that he may know the number who | would make the trip and to secure if possible the one-fare rate.

France demand to know why it is nec- essary for the government to waste hundreds of thousands of square feet of leather by permitting these Sam Browne" belts and the high leather boots and puttees, when canvas or cloth substitutes would function every bit as well.
 They make no complaint against the civil population being forced to wear 8 standard type shoe adopted by the government but they express fear that with continued wastage of leather there may come such a shortage that the authorities will be unable to find the stock to manufacture army shoes and boots and find the necessary leath- CT for harness for artillery horses.
 It is estimated that a dozen Sam Browne" belts contain enough leather and of the proper grade-to make a single harness for an artillery horse, as part of the harness is of steel and chain.
 It is estimated that pair of leather puttees contains enough sole leather to make two pairs of shoes, and that there is enough stock in a pair of knee-h high boots to make three pairs of women's shoes

Play Is a Grea, Success


 It would be hard to determine just what person and what act was the biggest hit in the play, "In the Palace of the Queen" given at tile opera house Thursday. Each performer, from the queen to the court jester, reflected credit to the training Of Madame Hart zell
 The Tempe Merchants band opened the play, with a short concert followed by the entrance of the king and queen accompanied by the ladies and gentle nien in waiting.
 Prominent parts were taken by Mrs William Goodwin, Miss Clara Priest. Miss Delzell and Miss Bessie Haynes. Little Miss Encinas as the Spanish dancer, was especially pleasing The Normal quartet added to the program with several selections, and Mrs. Edna Wellington and Miss Letha Hackett, as Quaker girls, were heartily ap- plauded.
 Special mention is que the dancers and the fairies, also the military drill. the Irish boy and girl and the news boys.
 The Indian scene was very good. many commenting upon its excellence Rena Iverson in ''Thc Highland Fling and the chorus Broadway Swells'' responded to several sncores as did Miss Bessie Barkley and girls in the popular song Arizona" Mrs. Lyle Wier showed her usual ability as ac- companist.
 The Womans club realized quite a sum from the play and those who pat ronized the show are anxious that the money be used for the betterment of the town.

RAISE S6O PER MONTH
 FUR RED CROSS WORK

MESA. March At the social given by the finance committee of the Mesa Red Cross Thursday night, brief telephone report of which was sent to The Republican at late hour. several matters of interest to Red Cross work CTS occurred. One of these is that slips were passed among the assembled guests containing blank monthly pledges to run until June, 1918, and these, when gathered up, showed a total of S60 per month for the use of the Mesa branch. The campaign will be continued until a sufficient amount is raised to aid materially in supplying funds for the regular purchase of sup plies Chairman Bloy surprised the gathering somewhat when he showed that the Mesa branch was spending over s4O0 per month for materials with which to make knitted goods and cloth garments for the soldiers. R. F. Steele, chairman of the salvage committee. stated that within a few days the com mittee will be able to place in each home in the town a card giving di- rections as to waste articles that can be turned into money by the Red Cross. The address of the evening was given by Dr. J. Bernard Nelson and while brief, was full of vigorous enthusiasm for the organization which, as the speaker expressed it, was above all division of church or politics, but af- forded place for every worker in the cause of mercy"
 The burro auction conducted by D. J. Kleinman was a success, both from the standpoint of amusement and money. Some weeks ago the soldiers at Granite Reef brought down a little black burro and presented it to the Red Cross women. The animal, it vii 1 be remembered, reached the headquar- ters of the society after being guided through Main street with two regulars at the head and one pushing from tho rear. Kleinman got starting bid of $: which gradually rose until $50 wa. reached.

There is just one good, sensible way for fat people to grow thin, provided the fat peopleeare not diseased, but are fat from overeating; namely, undereat and leave out of the dietary excessive amounts of starch and sugar. All sweets and desserts of every kind should be taboo. In conjunction with this, eat a great deal less. Fast and grow thin.
