TIME AND HALF AS
 OVERTIME, PROTEST
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Requests by employees that the railroad wage commission recommend time and a half for overtime as penalty for work be- yond eight hours was answered today by E. F. Potter assistant to the gen. eral manager of the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste.~-Marie, with the assertion that such proposal was un- fair and impractcable.
 MT. Potter told the commission both the arrangements and the employees agreed that it was impossible to run railroad without some overtime, be- cause many delays were beyond the control of either side. In the final an- alysis, he said, reduction in overtime work depends on the employees, and therefore a penalty should not be im- posed, though the railroads always had been willing to submit the question to arbitration by government board.
 ''The railroads have not granted time and half overtime" Potter declared, because it does not represent a pro- portionate increase in labor for the money expended and because it. is in consistent for men working on double standard of pay like train crews, who figure their wages on basis of either hours or miles,"

CHILDREN 5 HUME !
 |NSAN|TARY,S SAYS. MEMBERb|GCLU

That the building in which the chill dren are housed at the Arizona Chil- | dren's Home in Tucson is a disgrace | and that the youngsters are not only | living in insanitary surroundings but | are in actual want for certain neces- 1 sites. was the statement made by Mrs. | James F. Goddard in report she sub- mitted at the Harmony club.
 Mrs. Goddard investigated the home at the request of the club, which re- gently gave a benefit for that insti- tuition and as a result of her investi- eation an effort will be made to re- move the home from Tucson to Phoe- nix.
 In discussing the situation last even ing Mrs. Goddard said that she had difficulty in locating the home when in Tucson. She asked scores of peo- pie where it was situated and finally found the unfit building in the lower part of town near the Mexican quar- ters She was shocked beyond meas ure she said at the condition in which the home was in, especially since none of the little folk are charity inmates. There are now 2S children in the home, ranging in ages from four months to F years of age and not any of these children are for adoption, having one or both parents who are providing for them.
 Mrs. Goddard reports that while the ldddies have plenty to eat they are in need of many necessities notably mattresses. She said the building was very insanitary and that the three women in charge could not possibly care for the children properly and at tend to the household duties that were theirs. She failed to note any stoves in the place except a fireplace without grate and every other feature of the institution was on par.
 Confident that the women of this city would take sufficient interest in the welfare of the small boys and girls of the state and give them better treat ment the suggestion has been made by the Harmony club that the home be re-established in Phoenix. That they will campaign toward this end was ad- mitted yesterday and plans for such an action will be considered at the club meeting Wednesday afternoon.

GERMAN SHEL[F|RE
 RAINS ON AMERICANS
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. Feb. 21.-(By the Associated Press)-The artillery duel continues night and day. The enemy is firing an ever greater number of shells but only insignificant damage has been done to the American lines. American shells, on the other hand, appear to be hitting important enemy positions with regu- iarity except when a ground haze ob- scures observation.
 Activity in the, air has not dimin- lshed and numbers of German ma- chlnes continue to cross the American mes. Today a German machine flew so low that it emptied it's machine gun at a group of American soldiers as- sembled around camp kitchen. The enemy airmen in the airplane were clearly seen. No casualties were re- ported today.
 A large number of German guns now are opposite the American sbctor Among them are some SS's probably from the Russian front.

PLAN WORK UPON
 TEMPE HIGHWAY

Alter hearing a report on the con- dltlon of the Roosevelt road by w. R. Elliot, general superintendent of the water Users association, yesterday the board of directors of the chamber or commerce directed the road com hlttee to start negotiations with the state engineer to start work on the road at once. The Phoenix Chamber or Commerce has a considerable fund which it expects to direct towards this work and with this view in mind, MT. Elliott was requested by the board or directors to make an investigation of the condition of the road to Roose- Nelt In his report, MT. Elliott rec commended the improvements he deemed necessary and where the work can be best applied.
 Another important road movement was started when a committee was appointed to confer with the state and county engineers in regard to the death curve" on the Tempe road. If is hoped this dangerous curve can be remedied before the new pavement is laid.
 The road committee was also au- thorized to move the large road sign. which stands in the Central School grounds, to more central location and a position directly across from the federal building was suggested. The present location of the sign is on the corner of Central avenua aud Van Buren street but is objectionable be- cause the sign is partly hidden by the trees.
 The board agreed to lend their assistance with the corporation con- mittee in their fight with freight dis elimination. The board also agreed to interest every corporation in the state in this matter.

 Bob Smith did not fear death. He and his father were in unity with the great cosmic forces which govern this planet. Bob Smith had strong convictions. There were not many people who understood him. He was giving his life to help the oppressed. He wanted to see a world where all was love and happiness. He believed in the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man. His wish was to see a confederated world without dis tress and suffering.
 His unhappiness and troubles are over and he knows the truth now and that this mortal existence is only a step to better things"

BAP TESTS CONTRIBUTE T0
 MISSION FUNDS

The demand for missionaries and helpers since the war began has been so great, and requests for aid and aS- sistance have been so many on the American Baptist Home Mission So- ciety, that, at recent meeting of the official board voted to raise $1,000, 0O0 extra above the regular> missionary budget. Immediately the board wired C. w. Goodman, president of the Nell son Shoe company, business man of Phoenix and a member of the First Baptist church, to act as chairman of the state committee and at later date he was appointed as national chairman of the Laymen's Movement of War funds, which he reluctantly accepted.
 After properly organizing and ap- portioning the various amounts to the different churches of the state, the apportionment of the First Baptist church of Phoenix, was found to exceed one-third of the states apportionment
 At the regular mid-week prayer ser vice on Wednesday of this week, spir- tied and spicy talks were made by the pastor, Rev George M. Lehigh, Rev J. I. F. McCourtney, secretary Arizona state Baptist convention; Rev. D. D. Proper, associate edifice secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission society, Of Omaha, Neb The principal address and appeal of the evening was made by the Rev. J. Franklin Day, manager of campaign of laymen's movement for war funds. In the course Of his address, in his earnest, forceful manner, he impressed his hearers with the necessity of surrounding the boys Tn the training camps on the fighting fleid, and in the trenches with proper | care and spiritual training that makes for Christian character and soldiers for | Christ as well as soldiers of the nation
 The response was so generous that the amount subscribed and paid almost covered the whole apportionment, and before the canvass ends, it bids fair tc Tar exceed the most sanguine expecta- tions and go far lover the top."

and they present the most critical of situations, of which no solution exists but a continued expansion of the eff forts of the railway administration in the movement of foodstuffs in every direction to the exclusion of much other commerce of the country. Con- siderable progress has been made in the last ten days, but continued rises in the price of cereal commodities and the failure to secure sufficient surplus over immediate domestic consumption to feed the allies, are evidence that there is still deficiency in food cars and that they need be still further increased.

 Garros was widely known to sports men and aviation experts in the United States. In 1910 and 1911 he made a tour of this country, Mexico and Cuba with a party of aviators gathered by John B.

 'In response to many inquiries, I beg to say it is true that since the first of December we have fallen far behind our agreed food program with the all lies. By the end of February we will be short 45,000,000 bushels in cereal products which we undertook as our share of their supplies. We will also be short of the. amount of meat and pork products that we were to deliver. This deficiency is due solely to the railway congestion since that date. The railway directorate since coming into control on January l, has made effort to find a remedy but during the month of January, the weather was insuper- able and although progress has been made since the fifth of February, the situation is the accumulation of three months delays.
