 Referring to new food conservation plans. MT. Smalley said: "The addition of another wheatless day will soon be made This has been made an absolute necessity by virtue of the fact that in the face of an apparent shortage in the wheat crop to be harvested next sum- mer, the government has contracted to deliver to the allies 100000000 bushels ot wheat to keep them going over there
 One thought which the general pub lie does not seem to have grasped in this connection is that every pound of wheat furnished our associates in the war means the saving of American life. It was pointed out to us that the clear ly defined policy of this government is to furnish sufficient troops in the trenches to take the place of those in- capacltated, thus maintaining the present total of forces against Prus- sianism. If the forces of England. France and Italy are allowed to becomr weakened through lack of food which the United States has undertaken to furnish it means that just that many more American boys must be rushed into the actualities of warfare, whether they are fully seasoned for the ordeal or not. And while Uncle Sam intends to be in this war with the bayonet as well as the food sack, the more he can use the latter the less hewil be obliged to use the former. This is the purely selfish viewpoint of the uues- ton which should spur on to greater efforts than ever the conservation movement in Arizona
 At the present rate that we are using wheat in this country we will have an oVerdraft on our supply of from 75,O00, 900 to 90,000 900 bushels bv March l. Two sWheatless days instea d or one and more economy in the use of wheat products at all times are measures the food administration is considering to reduce consumption. Futher restriction of the use of wheat by bakers in making bread is also to be required. The food administration IS considering limHing bakers to 80 per cent wheat flour, requiring the use ] sumers may soon be compelled to buy a pound of other cereal with every pound of wheat four
 Corn meal, the chief substitute for wheat flour has been high in price and the food administration is looking into this with view of bringing the price down. Minneapolis mills are making 10000 barrels of barley flour daily and Arizona is soon to have an adequate supply.
 Transportation is one of the factors 1 that has kept up the price of corn and 1 corn meal The food administration will help Director General McAdoo re- | licve freight congestion in order to se- cure a freer movement of corn to, the market.
 While the immediate problem is stricter conservation. the food admin istration for Arizona will prepare al once to stimulate food production ir | 1918. Farmers will be urged to place under cultivation as many acres as possible and steps will be taken to provide adequate farm labor. No one will be allowed to remain idle. Baci,

STRIKING SCENE
 IN PLAZA FILM

The early scenes of the BIuebird photoplay, Fires of Rebellion" which will be shown at the Plaza theater today, are laid in a factory town in New England, and in order to secure the proper atmosphere, Ida May Park, who wrote and produced the picture, took her company into the factory dis trict of Los Angeles, where lot of mob scenes were made.
 Dorothy Phillips is featured in the picture as girl of the factory who rebels against the drab life of her mother and older sister, and seeks a way out in the city. In order to have a ready made crowd, she had chosen the noon hour, and in short time sev- eral hundred hands had gathered to watch the filming of the picture. An exciting fight between Stowell, the foreman, and Edward Brady, as a dis affected worker, was filmed in a ring formed by real factory hands, every one of whom proved himself real actor.

S|NALLEY TELLS WONDERFU u WAR

American Inventiveness and
 Versatility Shown in Me chanical Marvels Which Revolutionize Warfare

"All red tape has been cut and ev- sryone in Washington has cut loose with a determination 10 do His utmost toward winning the war. The nations capital is surely one busy beehive of war activity these days. Dollar-a-year men to humblest workers in every de- partment are at it feverishly from early morning to late at night, all seemingly imbued with the same idea of i've must win" and all working with the same splendid enthusiasm which spells success
 This is the impression brought home from Washington by George II. Smal- Icy, executive secretary of the federal food administration for Arizona, who represented this office at the recent conference of food administrators for the several states.
 This conference was called for the purpose of clearing up many perpleX- ing problems as to the enforcement of the food control act and to outline the work for the coming year. explained Mr.. Smalley today, and with all others In attendance l felt that the inspiration which comes from association of com mon interests and the coming in touch With the masterly personality of MT.
  convenience of breaking our way through the eastern snow and ice to attend the sessions.
 In addition to attending the meet ings a part of our education was to peep into every phase of war activity and every means to make this an easy task was placed at our disposal.
 Startling progress is being made along inventive lines. The new wire less telephone has been perfected to such a remarkable degree that it is how possible for the human voice to rarry through space without the aid of wire to the Panama canal and Hawaii 1nd daily talks are exchanged with Paris. The eXperimentors are now per Iecting the same method of communi- ration with Tollio, Japan. Of more practical value in warfare, perhaps, is The adaptation of a new discovery which will allow an airplane so high in the air that it cannot be seen with the naked eye to wireless a message to the intelligence station below, and in inc same way two or more machines in the air can communicate with one another within a radius of several thousand feet, the vibrations of the engines having been entirely overcome by American genius.
 As an indication of the swiftncss with which new problems are met as soon as they arise, the Germans have invented a new gas. It is colorless and odorless and more deadly than any ever used by them before, it is said. The American answer is a delicate in- strument placed in front of the trench es which with uncanny accuracy de- tects the approach of the gas as it steals over No Mans land, and gives instant alarm so that the gas masks

SHELDON BACK
 IN COURT AGAIN

Walter Shelton, who was brought from Tucson to Phoenix some months ago on the charge of failure to provide for his wife and minor children, made a return trip to this city and it's courts yesterday and will be given further op- portunity to explain his alleged fail ure in not following out the former order of the court to contribute $50 a month for the support of his children.
 Shelton. who is a railroad man is said to make large salary. It is al- legged that he has let months go by without sending what would rep resent a fifth of the amount to his small sons and daughters. He was tried once before on a similar charge. the wife asking nothing for herself and what she considered sufficient sum for her kiddies. This has not been forthcoming, it is charged
 Shelton will be given his preliminary examination before Justice Wheeler at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning His bond was fixed at $500 which he failed to furnish.

 There was considerable opposition in the conference to the plan calling for the temporary substitution in the far western states of a porkless Tuesday for meatless Tuesday, in connection with the new porkless Saturday, but when figures were produced by Federal Food Administrator Merritt of Califor- nia to show that Los Angeles and San Francisco packing concerns had hun dreds of tons of beef and mutton on hand which could ot be disposed of on account of the railroad tieup, we were given sixty days in which to eat up the surplus as the best way out of the diff ficulty.

 "An Indian picket stationed on the out skirts of dense wood brought in. one by one, six German prisoners in the course of a few hours one night, and the strange feature of the performance was that each prisoner had leg broken below the knee.
