Where There's a Will

That roads are never too rough nor weather too bad for some people was pretty well demonstrated last Saturday night when about midnight F. (. kess- Ter and Henry Bordeaux started out in a Ford truck to take the flowers for the Duke funeral to Monticello The flowers came from Little Rnck too late for a train to Monticello, and as it had rained necessarily for several days. and was still raining, it seemed out of the question to get them there. Neverthe- less the above named gentlemen made the trip, getting the flowers there in perfect condition.

SOLDIERS GIVEN CONSIDERATION
 BY PUBLIC
(Rv Associated Pressl

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1S.-'Let the spare seats in every automobile do their duty"
 This is the slogan of the War Camp Community Service committee in this city in it's campaign to keep the sol diers entertained. Every automobile pilot who happens to see a soldier go- ing his way, and who has a spare seat or two, is urged to give the uniformed pedestrian lift"
 An automobile recreation corps has been organized, and already it has more than four hundred members. Each member carries an attractive card on his windshield, whereby every sailor and soldier may know that the spare seats in the machine belong to him.
 AAh oouAtAOA tO IhIOIihdl IllLSy LnS members of the corps have set aside regular days for automobile spins. Rides for convalescents are held on week days between the hours of 2 and 4:30 D. m. Others are entertained in this fashion on Sunday afternoons and evenings beginning at 1:15 D. m. These regular rides start from desig. mated points, but there are no set courses. Each may follow his own bent in this regard.
 The automobile recreation feature is linked with many innovations in the work of this service. Club gather ings, dancing parties, week-ends. din- ner parades and many other forms of innocent amusement are being pro- vided for the soldiers, in order that camp life will not drag" and the thing known as morale shall be kept at high standard.

REVENUE CUTTER BEAR ENTERS
 WAR SERVICE

SEATTLE, Jan. 18.-The old Unit ed States revenue cutter Bear, often called the Good Samaritan of the North Pacific" will not go north when the Arctic ice pack breaks this year, as she has been converted into a training ship for future officers of the American merchant marine, according to advices received here from San Francisco.
 For thirty-two years the Bear has patrolled the Alaska coasts and Be ring sea in the summer, and almost every spring has been the first steam ship from the Outside to drop anchor in the roadstead off Nome, after the ice moved and released that city from it's winter grip.
 The Bears duties have been nu- merous. It has gone to the aid of wrecked ships, has carried supplies to posts far up on the Arctic coasts, often took Alaska's floating court" to 1so, lated points where law was to be ad ministered, and was the vessel that brought to the outside world the sur vivors of the Karluk, the flagship of the explorer, Vilhjlmur Stefansson when it was crushed in the ice in the Arctic off Siberia.

 BY FOOD CONTROLLER

In com pliance with this request Mir Hillery has decided to call a meeting of all merchants and restaurant owners for Sunday afternoon, the place and hour to be announced in tomorrow's paper.
 The federal administrator has is. sued the following orders: White sugar is to be sold to consumers in cities and towns and immediate en. Virons in quantities not to exceed five pounds per household per day; to con. ,l sumers or other dealers outside of cities and immediate environs, In quantities not to exceed fifty pounds without permits from the federal food administrator. Wheat flour not to he sold by dealers to consumer or other dealer, either in or out of cities CT towns, in quantities exceeding forty nine pounds without first obtaining 6 permit

Urge dealers in food commodities and meat to encourage the use of food and meat substitutes. Cannot think that any local citizen will re- fuse to conform to regulations which are for the benefit of our country and a common cause. If, however, any refuse to abide by or violate the regu- lations wire their name and the cir constance.
 Regarding excess sugar and flour sales you are authorized, in my name over your signature, to issue a writ ten permit directed to applicants and dealers for particular sale, specify ing the amount allowed to any appli- cant, for excess purchase, when appli- cant satisfies you of his good faith and that he is not hoarding.
 Hotels, restaurants and boarding houses are to be allowed to purchase fifty pounds Of sugar at one time without a permit. Forms of appli- cation and permit are being printed and go forward by first mail. Give these regulations the widest publicity. The same regulations are effective all over the territory today. I look [ to you to see that these regulations are made effective in all communities tributary to your city forthwith. Ad- wise me who in the tributary cities, towns and country are acting with you as your local representatives. Would like your opinion as to the eff ficacy of quantities specified to ac- complish desired results in your dis trict."

Recent arrivals from Seattle tell of the cOngested condition of hotels and rOOming houses in that city, for which the marvellous development of the shipbuilding industry, Occasioncd by the governments merchant ma rine program, is responsible. One re- cent arrival here reports that the crowded condition of the hotels has been responsible for much inconven- fence to the travelling public, and has often resulted in men walking the streets all night because of lack of accommodations.
 The situation bids fair to become even more serious, as thousands more workmen are due to arrive to man the new shipyards now under con struction. A strange fact is that lit tie building is going on, due to the high cost of labor and material.
 One man who recently arrived here tells of spending hours in a taxicab looking for hotel accommodations, and of finally being compelled to go to the suburbs and beg the hospitality of friends.
 The Seattle papers are full of sug- gestions for relieving the situation, and plans are under way for the build ing of dormitories at or near the ship yards for the accommodation of the men.
 While times are brisk in the coast cities for mechanics and other work men, the housing problem and the lack of adequate street car service make the workman's lot not alto gether a bed of roses.
 Tacoma and other Sound cities arc in similar plight.

FUEL RESTRICTIONS
 AROUSE SENATOR'S

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-When congress reassembled today the at tacks on the fuel restrictions burst out anew in the senate. The members were resentful because the fuel ad- ministration had ignored the resolu- tion calling for delay in putting the order into effect.
 The senators described themselves as being in a state of 'impotent indig nation"
 Senator Smith, of Michigan, de- clared that the senate should clip the wings of those who seek such author ity, which was never intended to be given to governmental servants.
 Senator Snyder said that President Wilson made a fatal error in permit ting Fuel Administrator Garfield to issue an order which meant such ut ter chaos, want and suffering.
 First Pinch of War Felt
 America felt wars pinch perhaps for the first time when industries were stopped under the fuel order, despite protests predicting disastrous conse- quences and the formal request of the senate to stay execution of the order temporarily.
 MT Garfield signed the order last night with the approval of President Wilson.
 In considering the consequences Mr Garfield feels that the country will be convinced of the necessity of keeping the principal intuition factor. ies working

 q have now 15O Indian school chil. dren under observation. Over 3 per cent have already developed symp toms of active tuberculosis
 Dr. Rosenkrauz's observations are borne out by records from other sec tions of the country. In Eel river val ley, where the Indians congregate in huts along the river, making a pre-. carious living by fishing and occa sional farm labor, tuberculosis takes it's annual toll The pathetic feature of the problem is seen in the fact that large families frequently follow Indian marriages, constitutional weakness ex ercising no restraining influence.

IF INDIANS | |S
 THREATENED

EUREKA, Cal, Jan. 14.-Tubercu- losis Is threatening the early extinc- tion of the Humboldt Indian, despite the efforts of the reservation physi- cians to overcome the ravages of the disease, according to Dr. Otto H. Ro- senkrauz, head of the medical depart ment of the Hoopa Indian reserva' tion of the Klamath river.
 During the eighteen months that I have been on the reservation" says Dr. Rosenkrauz, "there have been 37 births and 36 deaths. Over half of the deaths were due to tuberculosis. The Indians here are highly suscep- tible to tuberculosis, as we'll as trachoma, the dreaded eye disease.
 "The living conditions of the In. dians outside of the reservation and the general environment have much to do with the spread of these mala- dies. It has been observed repeatedly that where a member of an Indian family has died of tuberculosis it is only matter of a few years before the entire family has been wiped out by the disease.
