MUST TELL WHY

Unless Out On Business All
Persons Must Stay At
Home Are Orders the
Police and Deputies Will
Enforce

The person who is found on the
streets of the towns in Maricopa coun-
ty or on the country roads these days
must give a pretty good account of
himself his destination, his business
and the reasons for his leaving his
home, according to the county health
officer. DR.. A. B. Nichols.
In fact, a traveller in this county
during the next week or ten days may
have as much trouble as a tourist in
the countries of Europe whose pass
port is vised at every crossroads.
The county health officer and the
county board of health were a unit in
declaring that unless a person has
business to transact he must stay at
home and not aid in spreading the
influenza.
Must Explain
Special deputies were sent out
through the county yesterday to en-
force these regulations. These depu-
ties will question every person on the
county roads and if he cannot give a
satisfactory explanation of his presence

county's total by several hundred
dollars
Maricopa county will make the 50 per
cent oversubscription asked and go
even few hundred dollars beyond that
mark. This is regarded as a wonderful
showing, for this county has been most
severely handicapped by the influenza.
Scores of workers pledged to the task
were unable to take the field because of
their illness or the illness of those in
their family, and to make the top fig
ure asked under those circumstances
was little short of marvellous.
Maricopa county is still in fifth place
with a chance of moving into fourth
and winning an honor truck. That
chance, however, is rather small.
In the table of results tabulated at
state headquarters for all Of the four
teen counties, it will be noticed that
there is one column for corporation
gifts allotted the county and another
for individual gifts. 1t is the individ-
ual gift total which alone counts in the
honor truck competition.
Rules On Corporation Gifts
State Chairman Norman Carmichael
has ruled that all corporation gifts of
$1,000 and over shall be credited the
corportion contribution fund and not
count in the competition for honor
trucks. This ruling hit his own county
very hard where he, naturally, takes
pride in the fine showing. but he felt it
the only fair way. for the big gifts
would give certain counties a start
which others could not possibly hope to
meet with no such aids at hand.
In the final county totals, of course,
the official but not competitive show
ing of the county. all corporation girts
are credited. For instance. Cochise is
credited with e county total of $105. 600.
but gets only SS7,S in the honor truck
competition. ella likewise gets a credit
of over 300 per cent of its quota. but
| has not doubled its quota in the honor
truck contest
The table for all counties is up until
Hast evening.

No consresatins
There is to be no loafing or con-
gregating anywhere in this county dur
ing the present crisis if the county
health officials, aided by the sheriff's
office, can prevent it, it was declared
yesterday. Visiting and congregating
will not be permitted until the cpl
demic is under control and the present
regulations are abolished.
1.-THE person who is found away from
home must be armed with a pretty
good excuse" declared DR.. A. 3.
Nichols, county health officer.
Nor is there to be a man, woman
or child permitted on the streets of
Phoenix unless they have particular
business to be there.
Loafing Prohibited
The down town streets are to be
patrolled by the police, augmented by
special officers. They will disperse
any crowd of people and will not per-
nit loafing on the streets or in any
of the stores.
Sheriff Willly and his force will CO.
operate with the other officers in en-
forcing the repu1atiOnS of the citizens
and health officers to the letter. Pc

be surprised if they are called upon to
give a thorough account for their pres
ence on the public highway.

was to the point: "Stay home; you

convey the information that the young

up a similar custom in the other
churches. In the town of Verbena,

the church bells ring for prayer. Then
the Verbena people, with heads IN
covered and bowed, repeat these
words: God bless our president, our

to victory" When the bells begin to
ring, men halt in the streets, wagons
stop, women cease work, and all pray.
In Middletown, Del, and in many 9TH
