DISMAL PICTURE
Of LIFE IN CAMP
FROM GENERALS

Disease epidemics and clothing
and equipment shortage at Camp Bow
lie. Texas, and Camp Doniphan, Okla
homa, were described to the senate
military committee Friday at Wash
ington by the respective commanders
OF those national guard environments,
Major Generals Greble and Wright
Both officers said the epidemics at
their posts now were under control
and that adequate supplies Of over
coats had been received, but they gave
dismal pictures Of earlier conditions.
They told, too, of enormous shortages
of rifles, machine guns and other
equipment still existing. Food has
been plentiful, they said, and of good
quality.
During November, General Greble
said 5000 men, or about one-third OF
his command, passed through the hos
pital with deaths from pneumonia,
measles and other diseases averaging
16 daily.
At one time 1900 men, he stated,
were crowded into hospital built
to accommodate 500 and that without
a sewerage system.
The committee had received word
from Secretary Baker that immediate
action had been taken.

Are indiIent Except When Stirred by
Adventure.
The Malay cities of Ma1acca and
Singapore have grown away from
their birthright of old native ways and
customs. They have taken on a char
acter peculiar to themselves that is
unique and interesting, but they are
not at all typical of the federated
states or of the peninsula as whole.
Such trip would take the traveller
to any one of score of villages or
little cities, each as like the next as
one pea is like the other, save for
some detail o. river. jungle or hill. In
such untraveled neighborhoOds the
Malay remains very much as the LORD
and his environment have made him.
He is a different individual from
anyone else in the orient. He has
neither the serVility nor the Difference

native of the near east, nor the in

He is an independent, cratic, shift

ure that lends itself readily to ro-
nance, victim of a thousand super
stitions, with little culture and a con-
siderable amount of poise and self
possession.
The Malay is romantic because his
virtues are the virtues of feudal So
ciety. He is brave, enduring, courte-
Gus, reserved and hospitable. He has
real appetite for danger and adven-
ture; nothing lifts him out of his
habitual sloth and dullness so quickly
as an adventure that has spice of
peril about it. Under such circum-
stances he will prove cool and faithful
as long as there is life in his body.
Loyalty he counts as chief of the quail
tiles to be admired. u

LINER SINKS
U-BOAT IN
THE ATLANTIC

A German submarine was sunk by
the fire of guns of an American pas
senger steamer approaching the Brit
ish coast Thursday, according to re-
ports of the passengers and gunners
aboard.
The ship was proceeding at full
speed about noon in a very smooth
sea. The weather conditions were
such as to make the best visibility. A
periscope was sighted by the watch
on the bridge and the submarine
was seen plainly by the passengers
as it came to the surface at a dis
lance of about 1900 yards directly in
the wake of the ship.
The steamer was brought about
sharply and the two guns fired with
only an interval of two seconds be-
tween shots. The second shell ex-
ploded and debris from the subma-
rine was seen flying in the air. After
ward no trace of the submarine was
visible.
The convoy signaled to the liner:
"a direct HIT"
The watch on the bridge and the
gunners and passengers confirmed
this verdict No trace of a torpedo
was seen. The incident passed so
quickly that there was no alarm or
panic. Passengers who came rum
ming to the deck at the sound of the
guns were told that the excitement
was all over.

THERE'S GAY RIVIERA y IS
AND A QUIET SISTER.
Over In Italy Flashiness Of French
a3 Side Vanishes.

Over In Italy Flashiness Of French
Side Vanishes.
The Riviera is something more than
geographical expression. 1t is a dis
tinctly bounded state in the social at.
las, a grand revision in the Rand Nc
Nally of paper bound fiction, region
of romance, Russian dukes, interna-
tional intrigue, society adventures, I'M
conventional love affairs, starry skies
and deep blue waters. gambling,
health resorts and staggering hotel
bills. 1t occupies a unique place in
the world as the pleasure ground of
all the dominant nations, where Eu-
rope goes when it has the price, and
America when it feels socially ambi-
tious.
The Riviera has valid claim on all
these distinctions. The skies are real
ly starry, the Mediterranean is really
blue. the titles of the Russian dukes
are genuine, the size of the hotel bills
leaves nothing to be desired. But
there is something more to be found
on that long stretch Of southern
coast, something besides wealth and
fashion and the mingling of the real
and the spurious in culture and aris-
tocracy. Go east along the Rovera,
leaving that part of it which lies in
France behind, penetrate to the -Ital-
ian Diviera, and you will find the
same natural beauties less consciously
exploited, more suited to the tastes of
those who like their air and landscape
undiluted with sophisticated diver
sion.
Leaving that section lying between
Cannes and Mentone. where the gay
life is concentrated, you come first
over the Italian boundary to Bortli-s
ghera, still populous with exclusive
hotels, brilliant cafes and the villas
of the wealthy. But go still farther
eastward, passing Genoa, to what Ital-
ians call the Riviera di Levante, and
you reach ancient NerVi, quiet and
beautiful little town, far from the
crowd, perhaps too popular, as a
health resort. Just little farther, in
such towns as Rapallo, you find at
last the Riviera almost untouched and
unspoiled, the daily life of Italy going
on about you, the drives and walks
still lonely except for passing peasant,
~, the soft tropic beaches still keep
ing the lure of the quiet sea, free from
the glitter of overmuch convalescent
and pleasure seeking humanity.

TO KEEP CORN MEAL.

w. E. Doty, a Miami baker, is au- thority for the statement that no housewife should experience the slightest difficulty in keeping corn meal or milo maize meal on hand dur ing the summer, even throughout the hottest weather without contamination by weevil if the proper precautions are observed.
 Meal in sacks, he says, should be set on a small platform to keep it off the floor, and so arranged that there is an air space on all sides. The outside of the sack should be carefully dusted at least once a week. In addition fresh hops should be sprinkled around the sacks. These hops grow wild in many portions of Arizona
 This is a method which MT. Doty has followed in his bakery and which can be adapted by any housewife to meet her needs. Meal placed in open bins does not keep so well. It has more of a chance to heat and the in- sect which lays the egg for the weeVi has a better opportunity to get into the meal than when it is contained in a cotton bag.

RED GAP MINE
 UNDER OPERATION

Fred Nowen and George NJ. Nowell, who are working the Red Gap mine, bonded from Kean St. Charles, were in the city Tuesday getting the finishing touches put on the escrow papers. They have been at work over two weeks at the mine erecting buildings, developing more water and fixing the bad places in the road; now they are ready to drive the deep tunnel on the vein that will open the ore shoot at depth. If the ore found in the drift at the 100 level is found in the deeper tunnel Red Gap will be a mine in the class of Tom Reed and United Eastern. Ore running up into the thousands in gold is opened in the upper level and there is no reason from a mining standpoint why the values should not continue to depth. The Nowells are large capitalists and have taken over Red Gap after three years search for a gold prospect that they believe can be developed into a mine. If there is mine in Red Gap mountain the No wells are going to get it.

POTATOES Vs. WHEAT

Wheat is needed for the front line over there Let Arizona potatoes serve as the home guard over here, " says Timothy A. Riordan, federal food administrator for Arizona.
 Potatoes were called to the colors a year ago. The result was a bumper crop, some of which is still on our hands.
 Potatoes grown through patriotism should be eaten through patriotism. They will go to waste if they are not eaten within the next few weeks.
 Some hotels are adopting the plan of serving free potatoes if no wheat bread is ordered. There are almost fifty ways in which you can use them.
 "Housekeepers will find potatoes, rice and hominy the dependables as a substitute for bread in the less bread program that must be rigorous ly followed from now until next har- vest"
