Maxine Shrapnei.

New inventions have been made by
Americans, and American machine
tools for shell making have been sent
TO Europe and are used In the factories
there. The number of shells Of shrap-
mel made in this country is almost be-
yOnd computation. Long before we en-
tered the war our different factories
were turning out hundreds of thou
sands Of shrapnel week, and 1t was
due to this demand for munitions that
enabled us to turn out the big product
we are now making This is so not
only Of shrapnel, but OF powder and
explosives of all kinds. Before the war
one company was making about 400
600 pounds of military powders per
annum, another was turning out 800
12-inch shells per day, and third
making 100000 loaded time fuses u
month. The orders of the allies ran
into many hundreds of millions of dol
lars and il is said that almost $1,000
100000 worth of war supplies were
contracted for by J. p. Morgan & Co.

it is not the year in which those states which have biennial sessions could ordinarily have acted upon it. But special sessions like that which has been called in this state have made action possible in many states.
 Many if not most of the state which have rat- fled the amendment not dry states. The majcr- ity of the dry states have yet had an opportun- ity to vote it. In only one state has he proposed amendment been rejected, in Louisiana last Thurs day. The New York legislature side stepped it by referring it to the people, something contem- plated by the constitution. That only meant delayed action since finally if the people favor it. the legis- lature will ratfy it. Thus action will be postponed for year. That will not delay national prohibition since many of the states will not have chance to vote it before next year. It may be expected then that the required number of states thirty six will then have ratified it and that we shall have a dry nation three years earlier than the advocates of prohibition expected it.

Baseball and War.

Whether not the draft regulations make baseball players subject to the call by the govern ment to work fight is yet to be decided We be- eve it would be better for the country and better for baseball in end if it should be decided that the national game should be made subservent to the needs of the country. Already there is a grow ing resentment against baseball as an unnecessary and expensive amusement. which holds hundreds of especially able-b bodied, active out of productive employment. This resentment has been manifested in lessened attendance at professional games.
 It is recalled that about year ago President Wilson on the subject of baseball expressed a wish that there might be no interference little possible with professional baseball It was the idea of the president at that early day that the people would be better for this form of that they would oe saved from morbdity in the gloom of They needed baseball more than ever the president be- lieved pleasant distraction from the of conflict.

WORKING RESERVE
 ADDS INDUSTRIAL
 SECTION ID WORK

Of the three different types of units of the Boys Working reserve that were organized last year throughout the length and breadth of the United States, Phoenix only had one. That was the agricultural unit. This year there will be two of the three units organi- zed here, the agricultural and the in dustrial. The agricultural unit will work on the farms and the industrial unit within the city. The boys on the farm will be given credit in agricul- ture at the high school for their work Plans are now being made by those in charge of the reserve for the boys en- rolled in the industrial unit to do such work as to allow them a credit in industry.
 A big mass meeting will be held at the high school at o'clock next We'd nesday evening of all the members who are in the industrial unit and of those planning to enroll. It is expected that at that time plans for the summer will be made and that arrangements will be discussed to care for the recrea - tion of the boys during the allotted rec reation periods.

 And with a flaming pen And they challenged dread with upf1ung head, And proudly singing soul; For the stranger land had come to be

DEAD, YET LIVES,
 IS STRANGE FREAK
(NeW York Tribunel

Among the many strange growths, apparently freaks of nature which are to be found in New Zealand, the vege- table caterpillar readily ranks among the foremost. This caterpillar is sev- eral inches in length. is hairless and does not differ essentially in appear ance from some of the caterpillars of our own land.
 It's claim to distinction lies in the fact that when it gets ready to die it digs hole for itself in the earth and completely buries itself. Later slender green shoot springs from the spot, this bears two or three leaves near it's top.
 Upon investigation it is found that the green shoot springs from the head of the dead caterpillar, and further investigation develops the fact that the body of the caterpillar is filled with roots
 The form is retained without change, and the roots do not pierce through the skin or enter the ground. When aug up this dead yet living freak pre- sents most odd appearance, for the head and even the eyes of the cater pillar are distinctly seen. yet from the head is growing 'the green sprout with its leaves.
