Treasury urging acceleration OF the pace
at which the war revenue bill Is being
considered and praying for a speedier

that failure promptly to report and

ize and endanger the national finances"
Furthermore. he said he could not as
sure the country OF a successful Admin

day the paragraph governing exemptions

PUTS LID DOWN ON
 PROMOTION SCHEME

By the organization of the National Association of Securities commission CTS, in Chicago last week, state cor poration commissions will discourage all promotions which do not directly assist the government on its present war footing according to Mark Dun bar who has just returned from Chi cago, where he represented the Ari- zona corporation commission at a meeting of blue sky officials. They organized the National Association of Securities Commissioners upon advice of Secretary McAdoo. who asked that corporation commissions assist in the conservation of the loanable wealth of the country.
 The blue sky officials were in session three days. H. l.. Carnahan, corpora ton commissioner of California. was elected president of the new association and the time for the next meeting was set for some day next fall.
 1 Dunbar says, as it lies within the power and wisdom of the Arizona Cor poration commission to refuse to grant permission to company to sell stock, it will be a simple matter to stop the sale of stock of company which does not directly assist the government through
 who it proposes to sell after it has
 been financed and in operation.

CASA GRANDE RUIN ] I | BE
 SHOW PLACE

Hon. Frank Pinllley, former member of the legislature from Pima county, has been named custodian of the Ruin at Casa Grande to succeed Captain J. P. Bates of this city who has been in charge for the last three years. The appointment made some days ago became effective on Monday. It is really a appointment of MT. Pink ley who served as custodian for thir- teen years until 1914 when he re- signed to take personal charge of growing business which he has es- tablished on the Indian reservation.
 During the period Mir. Pinkley was custodian, the Casa Grande Ruin was under the direct control of the United States general land office. Not being allied to the routine of the general land office no particular interest was ever taken by the office in its de- velopment. During the last year, however, all national parks and na- tional monuments including the Casa Grande ruin have been gathered into the National Park Service bureau
 The chief of the bureau, Stephen
 T. Mather is greatly interested in this work and is realizing his opportunity since tourist travel to Europe is cut off, to develop to the fullest extent the interest of the travelling public in the national parks and monuments of the United States. More publicity than ever before is to be given the Casa Grande Ruin so that it may take its proper place as one of the most in teresting places in Arizona, along with the Grand Canyon and the cliff dwellings. It is easy of access from both Phoenix and Tucson as a visit to it from either place is only a pleasant days outing by automobile.

LOCAL NORMAL HAS
 WIDE REPUTATION
 FUR F00D SUPPORT

It's a far cry from Temue to Halifax but not too far for the fame of the Temue Normal school to extend. Through the enterprise of R. Krause steward of the Normal school dining hall, in compiling a number of food conservation recipes, the name of this institution has been widely advertised throughout the west, and now comes word that these recipes are being used with success in the Province of Nova Scotia.
 F. H. Sexton, brother of w. Howard Sexton of the Tempe Normal has sent letter to the food administration for Arizona acknowledging receipt of Mir. krause's second bulletin of recipes pre- pared for the special use of restau- rants. dining halls and institutions. MT. Sexton is the director of technical edu- cation for the province of Nova Scotia, and as such recommended the Tempe Normal formulas. They are now being used with marked success in one of the large convaIesceat homes at Hali- fax, he writes.
 The Tempe Normal, thanks to the work of MT. Krause, has been living up to every suggestion laid down by the food administration. Bread is now made up with 25 per cent oatmeal to save the wheat. Honey is served to save the sugar and beefless and pork less regulations as well as all others are being carried out to the letter
 One of the most interesting results has been. that in spite of the radical change in diet, the health of the stu dents has improved under the Hoover ized regime.
 The Tempe Normal stands as a model in the matter of food conserva- tion, say food administration officials who made it a point to investigate.
