Again San Diego was enthusiastic;
and thus by an odd trick Of these war
times, the most peaceful, dreamy city
In America has become military

Before the war San Diego was re-
nowned for Its perpetual cool, fair,

A Mixture Of Races.
It's wave-lulled quiet is broken by
the rhythm Of marching feet, the mu-
sic Of military bands, the clatter of
hoofs and the aerial chug- chug Of mo-
tors. A $10,OO0,OO0 ship building
plant will soon bring smokestacks and
thousands of workmen to the poets

ranium bordered avenues go French
officers in horizon blue; an occasional
Briton or Canadian; daredevil aces
with silver wings and adventurous
weather-beaten faces; Mexican vague
ros turned cavalrymen; naughty Nav
ajos, Pimas and Hopi who have swap
ped gorgeous blankets and ancient
desert pueblos for drab uniforms
and army tents: ex-cowpunchers try
ing to feel natural in navy middies
and jaunty caps; and soldiers and sail
ors drawn from one-fifth the area Of
the United States. Camouflaged ships
slip often into the azure harbor and
sail away under convoy, carrying
thousands Of hard-muscled young
warriors to the battle line in France.
To the government coaling station
come strange vessels flying foreign
flags. Sometimes Japanese ship
drops anchor and groups of polite lit
tie brown men go sightseeing through
the streets.
Into the qrietest life the thrill Of
war has come. The housewife, wash

BEAUTIFUL LIFE
 SACRIFICED FOR LIBERTY
(From Fridays Dailyl

Friends in Prescott of Miss Elwilla Wayland have been advised of her death at the naval hospital at Long Island City, N. Y., from influenza. Miss Wayland had retired from her profession, but when the call went out for experienced nurses, much against the will of her people she re- sisted their advice and said: Tt Is my duty and Liberty must triumph. v There were hundreds of sick sailors with influenza and although of frail physique this noble girl heroically performed her sacred work and sac rificed her life as victim to the same affliction,
 Miss Wayland will be remember ed as a resident of Prescott, when during the epidemic of cerebral spinal meningitis she volunteered to nurse those who were stricken. One case in particular was that of a young man with the Seligs who was i'll, and Miss Wayland stepped forward and said she would save the boy if possible.

 ant. PemDerton sets forth in his complaint that he was hired by the defendant to erect about ? miles of
 fencing along the right-of-way. the whole job being worth S63S7, accord ing to the figures of the contractor. The price was to depend largely upon whether the post holes were sunk into hard pan or earth, and in making a settlement. the road held that much of the hard pan work which the con- tractor charged for was in reality done in soft earth, and the latter was paid on this basis. The road has a credit of S4,4S4 on the contract price, and figured the balance at 5000. This amount Pemberton refused to accept, claiming S1,o02 as the balance due. This is the amount of the judgment which he is seeking in court.

PISTOL CARRYING UNDER
 BAN IN COPPER CAMP
CFrom Thursdays DaiIy)

In an effort to put a stop to the practice of carrying concealed weap- ons, the city council of Jerome this week passed one of the most drastic ordinances ever enacted regulating the carrying and possession of fire arms, knives, slug shots, etc, the new ordinance even prohibiting the citi- zens from keeping such weapons in their homes and places of business unless they have procured a permit from the town marshal. The penalty for noncompliance is a fine of not less than S25 nor more than $lO0, or Imprisonment for a period ranging from 10 to % days or both. Dealers are forbidden to sell, loan or rent guns to anyone not supplied with a permit.
 The police officials are given broad powers in the matter of searching premises upon which it is suspected that arms may be concealed The number of shootings which have talk en place lately in Jerome has caused the officials to realize that something must be done to prevent the Mexi- cans getting guns SO easily.

PLACE BARRELS TO
 COLLECT FRUIT PITS

FLAGSTAFF. Oct. Y. - "Where are all the fruit pits and nut shells that Arizona is supposed to be col lecting for the chemical division of war department for the purpose Of making carbon to be used in gas masks"
 This is the thought that occurred to Sam T. Millar, well known and popular Arizona travelling salesman when he got back from a recent trip to Los Angeles.
 There he found everyone busily en- gagged in pit collecting. Large barrels and boxes with appropriate signs were to be found in front of all large stores and the hotels and restaurants were aiding materially in the new conservation plan.
 "Why not in Arizona too" puzzled Nillar, but he did not ponder long A conference with the hotel and res taurant division of the food adIninis- tration and a letter to the food ad- ministrator and he had received full sanction to go ahead and turn the state upside down for all the pits and shells that he could shake loose.
 He was down in Cochise county when he got the wire that made him chief volunteer carbon material col lector and anti-Gernan gas leader of the state.
 Immediately barrels and boxes be- gan to appear on the streets of Bis bee. Cochise, Duncan and wherever his travels took him. And all because Millar has seen the need of some one taking the lead in getting the move ment started. After he has made the rounds of his trade he spends his spare time, not in swapping stories in the hotel lobby or in discussing the effect of war on business, but instead he puts in his spare time in visiting the largest establishments and secur- ing their cooperation.
 The food administration asks all dealers to be on the lookout for Sam T. Millar travelling salesman, or bet ter still to be anticipating his arrival in town and give him little surprise in the form of a pit collection box al ready in good working order.
 This is Red Cross movement. backed by the cooperation of the food administration. The former organi- zaticn will look to the collection of pits from the various Repositories and to their shipment to the eastern manufacturing plant, where the gas masks are made
