A food map of Europe today shows not a single country in which the fu- ture does not hold threat of serious difficulties and only small part which Is not rapidly approaching the famine point. With the exception of the Ukraine only those countries which have maintained marine commerce have sufficient food supplies to meet actual needs until next harvest, and even in the Ukraine, with stores accu- mulated on the farms, there is famine in the large centers' of population.
 Belgium and northern France, as well as Serbia, appear on the hunger map distinct from the rest of Europe because they stand in different rela- ton. from the other nations to the peo- pie of the United States. America has for four years maintained the small war rations of Belgium and northern France and is already making special efforts to care for their increased after-the-war needs, which, with those of Serbia, must be included in this plan, are urgent, in the extreme and must have immediate relief.
 The gratitude of the Belgian nation for the help America has extended to her during the war constitutes the strongest appeal for us to continue our work there. The moment the German armies withdrew from her soil and she was established once more in her own

U. s. SlGNPOSTS THE
 DESERT IN SOUTHWEST

The United States Geological Sur vey, Department of the Interior, has surveyed and signposted a great area of the most dangerous desert region of the United States. The thirty ninth annual report of the typographical di- vision of the survey, just made public, describes the method employed of making the desert safe for the un- wary traveller.
 The region surveyed occupies about 60,000 square miles in southern Cali tfornia and southwestern Arizona. In California it includes the southern part of Death valley and the region between this valley and the Mexican border; in Arizona it includes the re- zion west of Tucson and Phoenix and south of Wickenburg and Parker. This region was selected because it is the driest, hottest, and least explored part of the desert region, and also because of the stragetic importance of obtain ing information on the water supplies along the $50 miles of national iron tier that it includes. The field work was done by four parties, each of which consisted of one geologist and one nontechnical assistant out fitted with an automobile and light camping equipment. Practically all wateriay places in the region were examined, about 160 samples of water were col lected and shipped to the water-re- sources laboratory at Washington, D. C.. for analysis, and a general explor- ation was made of the geography, and ground-water conditions of the region. The maps prepared and the data ob- tained were made available to the ar my engineers for incorporation in the progressive military map of the Unit ed States. Guides with maps are being prepared for publication.
 Signs directing travellers to water were erected at 167 localities in Cali fornia and 13S in Arizona The sign posts are galvanized iron. 1 9 inches in outside diameter and 12 feet long Each post is anchored in the ground with two redwood blocks. The signs are 1S-gage steel, galvanized, are white, with dark-blue letters, and are substantially bolted to the posts. They are of two sizes, IS by 20 inches and 9 by 20 inches. Most of the larger signs, of which 470 were erected, give the names, distances, and directions to four watering places; most of the smaller signs, 165 of which were erected, give the names, distances, and directions to two watering places. The work done last year is a part of comprehensive plan for mapping and marking the watering places in the en- tire arid region lyinp east of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade moun- tains and west of line running ap- proximately from eastern Oregon through Salt Lake City and Santa Fe to the mouth of Pecos river.

seat of government the little nations first thought was 10 express her grati. tude to the Commission for Relief in Belgium for preserving the lives of millions of her citizens.
 Germany, on the other hand, need not figure In such a map for Ameri' cans because there is no present indi- cation that we shall be called on at all to take thought for the food needs of Germany. Germany probably can care for her own food problem if she Is given access to shipping and is enabled to distribute food to the cities with dense populations, which are the trou- ble centers.
 England, France, the Netherlands and Portugal, all of which have been maintained from American supplies, have sufficient food to meet immediate needs, but their future presents seri- ous difficulties. The same is true of Spain and the northern neutral coun- tries-Norway, Sweden and Denmark whose ports have been open and who have been able to draw to some degree upon foreign supplies.
 Most of Russia is already in the throes of famine, and 40,000.000 people there are beyond the possibility of help. Before another spring thou sands of them inevitably must die. This applies as we'll to Poland and practically throughout the Baltic re-

gions, with conditions most serious ip Finland.
 Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and Montenegro have already reached the famine point and are suffering a heavy toll of death. The Armenian popula. ton Is falling each week as hunger takes Its toll, and in Greece, Albania and Roumania so serious are the food shortages that famine is near. AL though starvation is not yet imminent, Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur- key are in the throes of serious strin- gencies.
 In order to fulfill America's pledge in world relief we will have to export every ton of food which can be han. dled through our ports This means at the very least minimum of 20,0O0,000 tons compared with 6,000,000 tons pre- war exports and 11,S20,000 tons ey- ported last year, when we were bound by the ties of war to the European allies.
 If We fall to Tighten the black spots on the hunger map or if we allow any portions to become darker the very peace for which we fought and bled will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy inevitably follow famine Should this happen we will see fin other parts of Europe a repetition of the Russian de- bacle and our fight for world peace will have been in vain

HEARTS OF THE WORLD'
 AND HEARTS OF THE CROWD

We were at a performance of Hearts of the World" last week at the Orpheum theatre and we want to congratulate manager Costigan on bringing work of art such as that was, to the public of Flagstaff. But one thing marred its enjoyment, as it often mars other shows, namely, a bunch of youngsters cat-calling, kick ing their feet against the seats and otherwise "misconducting" themselves. There are occasions, when some stars(? are on the screen, that offer excuse for a loud cry of Take mm out!" and when one feels like offering a fervent amen to the sentiment and physical aid toward it's execution, but one's feeling offer no excuse for their expression in way to annoy others. And there are many, many times when ing have combined to make the au- dience deeply and genuinely concerned with the situation on the screen, and then to have some kid holleraout his ideas of the thing tends to bring thoughts of homicide and destruction to the mind. There are moments in Hearts of the World" when the act ing, the music and the plot gripped the audience to such an extent that they did not know they were in theatre and forgot even to wonder if the smile on woman's face was up to the way they would have done it, and then some young mind would holler or whistle or screech.
 We plead guilty to criticising with out offering a remedy. We pass the buck to whoever will accept it. We certainly do not blame Manager Cos tigan, for if we were in his place we would not know how to correct it. He does the best with the element that he can and the Orpheum is much bet ter in that respect than the majority of moving picture playhouses. The fault, of course, lies in the raising of the guilty parties, and that is some thing over which, thank the Lord. we have no control and know too much to know anything about. We are simply human enough to want to kick against the thing that mars our enjoyment.

MANY AFTER NEW
 FEDERAL JUDGESHIP

PHOENIX, Dec. 13.-Now that the bill creating an additional judicial dis trict in Arizona is on the unanimous consent calendar of the house, having passed the senate and is expected to become law soon, there is much speculation as to what Arizona lawyer will be named to fill the position, one of the most coveted in the gift of the president, being a life job.
 Henry D. Ross, one of the justices of the supreme court, is most ire quently mentioned. Before his ap- pointment as collector of internal rev enue, Alfred Franklin was considered first in line, but having been defeated for renomination to the supreme court it is not believed that he will be ap- pointed.
 The selection of Ross would leave a vacancy in the supreme court to be filled by appointment of the gover- nor.
 Others mentioned for the place are George J. Stoneman of Phoenix, c. H. Rutherford of Jerome and Judge Franklin B. Lane of the superior court of Greenlee county, all active candidates.
 Judge Samuel L. Patt is also men, toned, but it is not believed that he will be named, as Judge Sawtelle comes from Tucson.
 As the first federal judge was nam- ed by Mark Smith, it is believed that the second will be left to Senator Ashurst. In that case it would not be surprising to see the senator recom- mend Thomas E. Flynn, present Unit ed States Attorney. He stands close to Ashurst, having been his law part ner before Ashurst was elected to the senate.

GOV. TOM CAMPBELL FOR BUDGET SYSTEM

The fourth Arizona state legislature which convenes Monday, Jan. 13, will be overwhelmingly democratic ana will be called upon receive the suggestions of Governor Thomas k Campbell, republican, for legislation The session promises to be an inter- esting one in this respect, but the greatest interest throughout the state will center in action, to be taken by the democratic majority in the matter of changing the primary election laws.
 The democratic state central com mittee, when organized following the election in November, went on record as favoring changes in the primary law that will prohibit known members of one party voting in the primary of another party. It was claimed tha. this defect in the primary was largely responsible for the the defeat of the democratic gubernatorial nominee, the remainder of the democratic state ticket being elected by large majori- ties. .. ... t
 Governor Campbell expects to be guided to a large extent in his rec concentrations to the legislature by the proceedings of the conference of governors at Annapolis, Md. How ever, there are some matters upon which he expects to recommend.
 At session of the legislature two years ago when Governor Campbell was the de facto governor, his recom- mendation of bill creating a budget system for the state failed of passage through the expiration of the session. This bill is similar to the Maryland bill, which is regarded as one of the best systems adopted by any of tho states, and Governor Campbell will again urge it's enactment.
 A general audit of all state insti- tutions, which has not been made since Arizona became a state, will also be recommended by the incom- ing governor. The legislature will be asked to name a special auditing committee, to report back to the leg islature. It is expected that the 60 days, which is the life of the session. will be sufficient for this purpose.
 Governor Campbell will also rec ommend state highway commission to be non-political body and named by the state engineer.
 Another recommendation which the governor has stated he will make, pro- vides for long terms for boards of re- gents for state institutions, two of those terms would expire every two years, nominations to be made by the governor and sent to the senate for confirmation within five days after the assembling of the regular session of the legislature. As the term of the governor is for but two years, the pur- pose of the legislation is to remove re- gents from politics.
