FORD CAR BRINGS A SHOWER BATH
 EVERY AFTERNOON
Babies Grow Winter as Doctor and Nurse Serve Daily Baths From
 Door to Door.

Good morning. We have come to give the children their bath," this, of course, said in good French. Then from off the motor car slides pOrta. ble shower bath, carried into the house by doctor and nurse.
 For the next half hour that little cottage boasts of a bathroom in active service, for when the water is heated the blessing of warm, clean shower pumped by the doctor falls on the head of Young France, while the nurse scrubs relgiously and the darkening water bears witness of whiter, clean. CT child.
 And as you might we'll imagine, the kiddies like 1t. except the last cold dash that the doctor slyly engineers by quickly transferring the supply pipe into bucket of cold water-for hygienic effect.
 And what blessing it is to these meek, tortured people, who for months have been without all of life's com forts and most of life's necessities, to be ministered to in this fashion It is perhaps understandable to them that "les Americains" out of sheer pity might offer them that mea- ger thing that civilization calls "char- ity." But to be clothed, fed, sheltered and cheered as they have been by our Red Cross is more than they can un. derstand.
 For they have seen great miracle grow out of the darkest pit of human experience. They have seen bright light out of which has stepped the ministering angel who has taught them to smile again. They are no longer sick. They are no longer cold nor hum gry, and now, wonder of wonders, this same good friend has contrived in ! some magic way--within the sound of l the guns--to give them-baths.

 an American Sammie.

A mother who is a Red Cross work. ter the following letter she had re-
 ceived from her son in France:
 If you could have seen me yester. day, when l left trenches which the
 rains have turned into open sewers, even you would never have known me. I was mud from head to foot, so cOv- cred with crawling things that tho poorest tramp in the world would have run from me, and fairly ached for rest.
 You see, my first furlough had be. gun, and l caught train for Paris. We were packed into freight car. Travel is so congested we spent most
 of our time stopping. At last, when night came, we were dumped out at 8
 railway junction with the information that the train for Paris would be
 along the next day.

 canteen, and all my troubles were at
 an end.
 Lots of people must have the same idea of these canteens that I used to have-just little shacks where you
 were handed out cup of sloppy cOf- fee. We are all wrong. These Red Cross places beat New York hotel for variety of service, even If they don't have the gilt furniture and tip
 takers. Here is what happened to me:
 "FirSt had a bath, real one. with l plenty of soap and water. While I was getting clean my clothes, every 1 stitch, were cleaned and sterilized. | Then had meal of real American cooking, actually sitting down at a ta. ble to eat it. After that went into the

 ed in for the night into a clean, dry

 And now this morning, after fine | breakfast, am sitting in the canteen writing this letter to you and waiting l comfortably for my train.

SLAYER OF THREE AGAIN ESCAPES
 FROM "WALLS"

Little Rock, May 1S.-Yates Stand ridge, noted murderer. has again es- capped from the state penitentiary. It was learned Saturday morning. IIe escaped from the "walls" southwest of the city Thursday. News of his es- cape was withheld pending a search by police officers who were notified immediately after his escap.
 Standridge has been consistent in his determination not to remain in- carcerated for long periods. He es- capes regularly, positively declining to 'stay put"
 Following his escape about eight months ago, Standridge was recap tured at Siketon, Mo. Returned to the penitentiary. he made the plea that persecution by guards and wardens had forced him to escape. He in sisted he wanted to reform but that the guards wouldn't permit it.
 Breaks Up Escape Plot.
 When Carl Lewis. Union county bank robber, had an automatic re- volver and box of shells slipped into the death cell, where he was being held for safe keeping, standridge in formed penitentiary officials of the scheme. Lewis few weeks ago had another revolver slipped to him at the convict farm at Tucker and led a riot which resulted in the death of one convict.
 Standrdge's action strengthened his plea that he was trying to re farm. Governor Brough last Christ mas, upon recommendation of prison officials, cut 'Standridge's 52-year term down to 15 years. Penitentiary commissioners agreed to make Stand ridge a trusty and to parole him next Christmas if he continued to make good"
 Has Murdered Three. Standridse made some very good promises. But the hills of his nativity called him. Conditions were too con gested at the penitentiary. Thursday morning, by virtue of being trusty he was allowed to go outside the walls. That was the last seen of him Standridge has three murders and number of other shooting es' capades to his credit.

GRAIN

CHICAGO, April 3.-Freezing wealth. CT northwest had decided bullish ef- feet today on oats and indirectly also on corn. Prices closed unsettled, with oats 11ad15s to 1% net higher, and corn up lac at SL25& May. Provisions gained 12c to 62c.
 Activity centered in the oats market, and there was a notable evident re- , newal of seaboard demand, based ap- parentlwy on apprehension that cold might result in serious interference with the germinating of the new crop. An additional bullish factor was knowl- edge that the United States visible supply was still 16,000.000 bushels less than was the case year ago. and that the North American available total was 29,000,000 bushels short as con- pared with last years figures. Corn sympathized with the oats strength, notwithstanding the visible supply of corn is about 100000 bush- els in excess of the aggregate at the corresponding time in 1917. Bulls were handicapped though by mater ial improvement in the quality of re- ceipts here.
 Provisions ran up owing to jumps ir the value of grain and of hogs

PLANS FUR LIBERTY LOAN DINNER TOLD;
 PROGRAM ARRANGED

Additions to the program for Friday evening at the Liberty Loan dinner have been made by the committee in charge. Organized Effort" will be the subject of a short talk by Edward F. Parker, vice president of the South west Cotton company. This subject is very appropriate, as we have recently witnessed the placing of direction of all the armies on the western front in the hands of a single officer. It is ex- pected that this appointment will re- suit, very quickly, in much closer CO., ordination of war activity on the part of the allied nations.
 In addition to Mir. Parker talk, some attractive surprises are being ar ranged. At this time the ladies have full charge of the stunts. Miss Lair will direct a number of girls from the Phoenix public schools, and Miss Georgia Mintz will arrange a very in- teresting item to be carried out by girls from the high school.
 The ever popular and splendid band from the Indian school will again add its rousing airs to the enthusiasm of the occasion.
 During the dinner. which will be a war time affair in every way, the Lib erty quartette will contribute patriotic music
 This dinner marks another step for ward in the campaign for thrift. No smokes will be provided by the com mittee. Everyone attending must pro- vide his own smoking material. The seating capacity of the Woman's club is limited, and this opening af- fair will be for men exclusively. The woman's division of the Liberty loan campaign will probably arrange for a dinner for the ladies very soon; but 1t has been thought best to not try to en- tertain ladies for the opening dinner.
 The tickets for the dinner are s1.00 each and may be had at the chamber of commerce or the offices of the Lib erty Loan committee. 120 West Wash ington street.
 One or two other speakers will be on the program, but the committee wishes to save a few as an added sur prise to the guests. The dinner will be served at 6:30 o'clock Friday Womans club. the last day of the first year of the war.
 At the regular weekly meeting yes terday of the local chamber of com merce it was decided that no subscrip- ton would be taken on the evening oi the dinner

FINANCES AND
 MARKETS
TRenubIlcan A. p. Ieased WireI

NEW YORK, April 3-For all prac- tical purposes today's stock market was little more than duplicate of the previous day. Trading was a trifle more active and diversified, but the tone was hesitant on the further ab- sence of decisive advices from abroad.
 United States Steel, which yielded leadership to such speculative issues as Sumatra Tobacco and Studebaker, traversed very narrow area, while Sumatra registered an extreme gain of three points and Studebaker advanced 1k. Minor metals derived some stim- ulus from a four-point rise in National Lead.
 Shippings steadied on relaxation of recent pressure and prominent equip ments were featured by American Car and Baldwin Locomotive, at extreme gains of l F to points, American Can also advancing 1 point and Atlantic Gulf 2h. Sales 180,000 shares. Industrial conditions assumed more hopeful aspects on the recovery of pig iron production, is disclosed by sta- tistics for March, and prospects of large government contracts for railroad SUD- plies.
 | Further strength in French issues marked the irregular bond list, Liberty also moving variably. Total sales, par value, s5,275.000. United States bonds, old issues, unchanged on call.

COTTON FUR THE SAILS
 IF A|RPLANES

At the meeting called at the Water Users hall yesterday afternoon by Messrs. Grant Jones, F. G. Attaway and w. <. Dorman, trustees for the cotton growers who have gone into the trus- tCeship plan of either selling their cot ton as a unit there at a satisfactory price, or shipping it east under con- signment, which was well attended by representative cotton growers, the fol- lowing action was taken:
 First: A telegram to MT. Grant Jones from Mir. Brand. Chief of the United States bureau of markets. was read. which stated that the government had placed an ordeR for 200 bales of Pima cotton in the fancy. extra and choice grades, to be used for manufacture in experimental aeroplane fabrics. and that F.. A. Shaw and Company of Bos- ton had been authorized to purchase this cotton as promptly as possible, CO., operating with the government grader in the selection of this shipment.
 As a result of this wire, and to it. lustrate the desire of those in the trus- teeship to assist the government in ob- taining this cotton promptly, resolu- tiUn was adopted that the trustees be authorized to negotiate with the repre- sentative of Shaw and company for the AA AAnNAtth NUAlbil lp lill AllAS OlutI lbl Pima cotton as might be necessary to fill the order.
 A resolution was adopted that if the Yuma cotton in the trusteeship, amounting to about AT bales could not he sold at satisfactory price by Thursday, April 4, the trustees were authorized to consign this cotton to the east. through reliable cotton dealers. on the basis of the plan previously pub lished. which embodies an advance of 4jc to soc per pound on Yuma cotton shipped under the consignment plan, and an agreement on the part of the cotton dealers who may obtain this consignment that the interest rate on advancement and freight shall be but 6 per cent; that storage charge in the east shall be but 30 cents per bale for the first month and l5 cents additional for each month thereafter; that the sales commission for selling shall be per cent on the selling price; that the insurance rate shall be but soc per annum per sl00 and that all accounts of sales and remittances shall be made by the cotton dealers selected direct to the grower. This plan was unani- mously adopted by those present
 In addition a resolution was passed mat immediate steps ne taken 10 per feet a complete and thorough organ ization for the marketing of the com- ing cotton crop, and that all growers interested in such an organization, ol in shipping cotton under the consign- ment plan, who have not yet trusteed their cotton, shall be invited to attend a meeting to be held at the Water Users building. Phoenix. on Thursday April 4, 1918, at 8 o'clock.

by our own personal sacrifice for this especial purpose. It represents our savings in man-power and savings as our part of the war. We are doing very little compared with what our boys are doing who are at the front.
 T would suggest that all third Lib- erty loan soliciting committees carryT with them thrift pledge cards. Wheas they find someone who cannot buy q bond let them obtain their signature on a thrift card with the pledged amount to be purchased each month. If it was not for the thrift cam paign the third Liberty loan would be for five billion dollars instead of three billion dollars. As we are to raise two billion dollars by the sale of thrift stamps you will see it is essential that we keep up to our quota in each com munity. How is your community do-. ing?
 Please give me a report for the month of March at your earliest con venience.'
