PHOENIX RETAILERS BOOST RATION PLAN
 WITH FLOUR CARDS

Retail grocers of Phoenix and all are trying out an interesting expert ment in the matter of establishing vol untarily a ration card system for the purpose of making effective the six pound-per- -person-per-month allowance of wheat, which is urged by the Food Administration.
 Thus far the system has proven success, and there is every reason to believe that it will work out effective Iy on a permanent basis until such time as it is no longer necessary to save wheat.
 Advantages claimed for this system are that it places all consumers on an equal basis, that it effects a material rather than a theoretical saving, and that 1t simplifies the work of the deal CT in keeping track of sales of flour and bread. The consumer is permitted to buy his flour and other wheat prod ucts at the grocery and his bread of a baker if he desires. He can change from one dealer to another at any time, though he is permitted to buy of only one dealer at a time Central clearing houses are established and secretary placed in charge to issue cards and keep a check on the cards, duplicate copies of which are forward ed to him each day.
 The merchants of Globe and Miami have adopted the system and those of Cochise county are planning to do so, as soon as the cards can be supplied Through voluntary adoption by deal ers' associations, it is believed that the system will be made statewide.

Dignity and Impudence.

A trawler one evening came into 8 port where lay at anchor a destroyer flotilla. She dropped her ''hOok" foul of the first and second ships and the efforts of the officer of the watch on the leading ship to move her were fruitless.
 On the matter being reported to the commodore he went aft and hailed the intruder.
 "Hullo, there. You're foul of my billet, and you must clear out and anchor elsewhere. I'm in command of this flotilla-who are you?"
 Back came the answer, appealing in its audacity and disregard of service convention:

Apostle spoons, of which many ex- amples are changing hands in the auc- tion rooms just now, were made in sets of 12 together, with a master spoon, says the London Chronicle. In the case of those belonging to Corpus Christi college, Cambridge, this thir- teenth spoon is surmounted with the figure of St. Paul. Complete and orig inal sets can be counted on the fingers of one hand, and for the earliest of them-dating from Henry WITS reign -Pierpont Morgan had to pay f4,9O0.

Efficiency in War.

The usual means of transportation in the Bulgarian army used to be the ox-cart. It was used, indeed, in the first advance into Serbia. Now the motortruck has replaced it. The officer in charge of the supply department says that one truck does in a day the work of 800 oxen, 250 carts and 300 men.
