Saving the Sugar

Sugar is scarce and seems destined to be scarcer. l is not that producing sections not to their hit but that the ships which bring in from such places as Honolulu and Java cannot be spared from ,hc more essential work of taking and food To France And this brings mind the shipping situation.
 lt a considerable time since any official figures with regard to tho sinking of ships by sthe pirate ' boat have been given the public It is almost tain however the sinkngs great they and that ship construction under full swing, exceeds losses by comfortable balance in favor of more tons at Then why there not enough ships 10 bring in sugar?
 The question just stated must necessarily come up in many minds but it is very easily answered. As the fabricated tonnage has increased beyond the uage lost the margin is being steadily absorbed in ships for soldiers and ships for food and supplies soldiers. Unless this margin substantial there would not be the steady pouring of and utons to Europe. The increased demand for ships inc leaves the situation regards ships for domestic service practically stationary
 It is mighty little the people of America have had Co give up in home comforts to aid in winning the compared with the sacrifices of other nations in the great democratic alliance It is decidedly up to to give up the few things required with all the ohccrfulnoss in the world.

Enterprise from the West

Frank Luke, Jrp of Phoenix and France. is cred tied with devising new scheme of attack upon Hun observation balloons and. judging by results it is a mighty effective At any rate the Arizona hero has now bagged eight airplanes and IS balloons the latter difficult to send down than the former To be but 21 years old and to have met in mortal combat and conquered 26 adversares is ad- mittedly big thing
 Tn this war it is the initiative which counts-the initiative in attack and in individuality. Americans used to starting things. The people of a com- paratively country they have had to meet and overcome obstacles such other people have had 70 meet and overcome In period of time spanned ather by decades than centuries they have swept vast country hanessed it's rivers. made paths through the wilderness and farmed its praries and deserts. This has highly developed the originality of the mind and result people thus trained arc sending army overseas in which the individual ni- tatve is highly developed. The soldiers are showing that in their fighting methods. They have done bet ter work when fighting by themselves an Ameri- army than when brigaded with other units good tho brigaded showing was.
 Given their own head the Americans will develop many a Frank Luke, young with initiative who used to doing their own thinking especially when a pinch.

Silent But Movable

The so-caled silent Cop who marks or is sup posed to mark the center of intersections and about whom traffic is supposed to turn with never a cut corner is silent indeed but movable In most cities the silent Cop is securely fastened in place. He Is not tall in Phoenix and has not the stately dignity Of the dome of capitol as his Phoenican brother has
 There are several movable feasts" the calendar and would nominate aspirant for this list the Phoenix silent Cop" He is seldom in place. pos sbly moving 10 keep out of the direct rays of the sum- Just how the authorities expect traffic to stay in one part Of the road when the road marker may be moved at wul it is hard to say. docs there seems any very good reason why these markers should be over tao or three inches in height they are in most cities. There may he advantage in a small metal building for intersection marker a building which can o moved about and is quite capable and does not get under street and throw them off the track but what that advantage is is at once apparent
 Profiting by the experience of others is always opportunity. Other cities are getting along very nicely with intersection markers which are not hieb enough to knock the steering knuckle off an auto. mobile and which remain in the same place the year around. Perhaps Phoenix could do likewise

0F COST PRICE MARKING OF
 GOODS POSTPONED

Operation of the much contested rule promulgated by the State Council of Defense August 15, requiring all mer- chants ito plainly mark both the cost and selling prices on all articles offered for sale" has been suspended for 30 days. This action was taken at the meeting of the council yesterday. It was the result of the passage of the following resolutions:
 For the purpose of obtaining further information from the National Council of Defense and the national war indus treis board as to the best method of tries board as to the best method of and thorough plan to check profiteering in merchandise in the state of Arizona, without serious disturbance to legiti- mate merchandising, the operation of the resolution adopted by this council on August 15 last, regarding marking cost and selling price on merchandise, is temporarily suspended for a period of not less than 30 days"
 It is understood that merchants from all parts of the state had submitted a sort of compromise, whereby they agreed to the terms of the rule so far as about 100 staple articles were con- cerned. They sternly protested against the application of the order to all mer- chandise.
 Urgent representations on the part of real estate men and builders in the state brought about the appointment of a committee to secure from the war industries board at Washington a less ening of the building restrictions, SC far as they related to building in this state. This committee, consisting oi Homer R. Wood, William Nagle and Dwight B. Heard, will make it cleal

PLATINUM SALES NOT STOPPED
UFrom the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph

From the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph
 Denying that the women of America have been asked to give up their platinum jewery to the gov ernment, sam F. Sipe president of the Jewellers 2i Carat Club of Pitsburg made the following state ment:
 Jewellers of this nation have offered all manu- factured platinum mountings to the government, which have been refused There is no ban the sale or purchase of any platinum made into jewelry. On the contrary there millions of dollars of it in Jewellers stocks which the government will receive tax of per cent, when sold. Therefore is with the sanction of the government that manufactured stocks now on hand may be disposed of.
 No new stock is being made for the reason that all crude platinum has been turned over to the govern ment. In this connection desire to say that C. H. Conner of the platinum section of the War Industries Board has already testified that there are twenty thousand ounces of platinum on hand for gov ernment and another fifteen thousand ounces available when needed Mir Conner has said that this is all that the government possibly use

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Against Commercialzing Lieut.. Luke Editor AriZ. Republican,

Against Commercializing Lieut.. Luke Editor Ariz. Republican,
 Dear Sir:
 1 noticed an article in the October 1 issue of your paper wherein it was stated that every effort was being made to bring Frank Luke to Phoenix to give exhibition flights at the state fair. To say that 1 was shocked at this bit of news would be to express my feelings mildly. It seems to my :n- cened mind to be the most utterly selfish and downright silly proposition that has come to my notice since the war began.
 I wonder if Mir Luke would not blush for Arizona. the state which claims to be so proud of him and yet which is trying to commercialize his glory and fame for it's own selfish ends. Would this be patriotism? Would this be Americanism Why are we in this war? Are we in it for a show. or a show down." If Mir Luke is brought back here to show" at our state fair, why should not General Pershing he fetched over for a season in vaudeville? This absurd proposition seems to nle to be entirely inconsistent with our ideals and utterly unworthy of our Great Cause. Why are we buying Lib- erty Bonds?,-are we buying them to help such splendid fellows as Frank Luke whip the Hum or are we buying them to foster frivolous show stunts?
 Arizona is in the limelight quite enough to her disadvantage through the notoriety given her by the I. ". 1 W.'s, but for Heavens sake do not let us call down ridicule, disgust and de- rision from the whole world by this new piece of proposed idiocy.
 To drag MT. Luke from his glorious mans work in beating back the Hun 70 appear before some few thousands in a series of spectacular flights at our state fair would be but to debase and dcfame the noble work of our boy hero (MRS) GENE GLASEVEk
