"ToLUoL" HELPED WIN WAR
CWall Street JournaN

It is now permissible to lift the veil of secrecy in regard to the highly inn pprtant work which has been carried out by the Shell" group in connection with the supply of toluol to the Allied governments, and to give publicity to a few facts which, during the course of the European War have been kept particularly secret according to the Petroleum Review|of London.
 That toluol exists in various pe- troleums has been known for some years" the Review continues, ''but we are safe in saying that there is no known petroleum from which so large a percentage of toluol can be removed as from the heavy Borneo petroleums. The explosives department, under Lord Moulton, had been searching in vain for toluol in large and practically unlimited qualities, yet unable to find it, and as a consequence the output of high explosives had obviously been re- stricted. Then the offer of the 'Shel' was eagerly accepted, and, to cut a long story short, arrangements were forthwith made whereby this country received, we believe, considerably over one-half of the total quantities avail able, the rest going to our Allies. The output of high explosives was imme- diately increased"

 CATTLEMEN'S MEET

Objection by Francis J. Heney. spe- claI attorney for the federal trade com mission, to a report of the Arizona Cattle Growers association conven- ton proceedings, sent by The Asso- ciated Press February 13, showed that ambiguous phraseology in the story made an erroneous interpretation of the associations action possible.
 The Associated Press report of Feb ruary 1S said:
 A hot debate was precipitated over q resolution scoring what was termed the efforts of Francis J. Heney to in- flame the consumers against the stock men" without properly quoting the phrase to ''inflame the consumer against the stockmen," as that of o. B, Fuller of Los Angeles, Cal. who in troduced the resolution, instead of as the sense of the resolution.
 The convention minutes quoted MT. Fuller as describing Mir Heney as "a politician" seeking ito inflame the con- sumer against the producer
 The conventions minutes gave the resolution as:
 Be it resolved by the Arizona Cattle Growers association this day that we go on record as against methods and practices resorted to by Francis J.. ing industry by the government, and as against any form of government own ership by same"
 The minutes showed this resolution was adopted by a rising vote 20 to Il.

Letter of
 Explanation,
(By JOHN HYDER)

Because l have received so much com ment, and because so many of my friends have asked me what my idea was in spending so much time and ad- veytising through the Del Lawrence show, that I want to give an explana- ton. Did you ever stop to think that the finest wearing apparel in the great -ity are sold with the aid of living mod els? Seldom in the history of my stores has there been so much favorable re- yults secured from this particular meth cd of demonstrating to the people the wonderful style and fit of the Hirsh- Wickwire clothes. Now of course, Del Lawrence and Billy Cochran need to wear the best clothes made because they appear on the stage before criti- cal people.
 Being on the stage before these par ucular people, their big audiences can get dandy idea of how very swel Hirsh-Wickwire suits really are and we assure you that the same fit can be given you as it can to Del or Bill.

OUR LOSS IN WAR
 LIGHTER THAN ALLIES
North American Review)

'
 It has cost us approximately 55,000 men killed and 1S0,000 wounded and missing; lighter losses by far than even little Belgium or Serbia suf- fered Great Britains casualties were more than thirty times as great as ours-3, 049, ,991-of whom 65S,66 were killed outright. French casualties were 2,719,642, of whom 559,613 were killed.
 The losses of Germany are still largely a matter of estimate. We'll informed and conservative reckoning puts the total in killed, wounded and prisoners at nearly, if not quite, seven million, of whom at least 1900, 900 were killed.
 The money cost of the war to all the belligerents has thus far been

I want to say right here I am very proud of the feat that such famous actor as Del Lawrence and so famous q fellow as Billy Cochran, the Phoenix favorite, wear our clothing. Wherever these men travel they make their head quarters at the best stores so you see Hirsh- Wickwire has received another big compliment right there. It is d known fact that Del Lawrence has made one of the greatest hits ever made in Phoenix. He is pleasing his patrons. He knows how Now that is exactly what l have always endeavored to do. The success ftthe store warrants me in the feeling that have succeeded and that Hyder clothes are a big factor in my having satisfied my customers. Any time you go to the EllIs just note Del Lawrence's suit. When at the Ameri- can you will notice Billy with Hyder clothing. Their suits are no small part of their stage success. Now don't for get Mir. Shillings, eff you don't know Mir. Shilling, he is the man that kisses tho pretty girls so frequently.) See aow snappy and up-to-the-m minute his clothes always are on the Elks stage md Mir. Duncan at the American stands out strongly in his green hat and pretty shirt which came from our store
 Now, I hope that this explanation will suffice to show why I have used SC much space and energy in wanting peo- pie to see how double-header successes are made by high class actors witt wonderful clothes. Of course, by this time you know that their clothes came from Hyders and Hyder can fit yol just exactly the same way.-Adv.

For the first time in three years, Ed Rudolph, local Ford agent. is pre- pared to make immediate delivery of Ford motor cars, MT. Rudolph gave out the announcement yesterday after making certain he had enough cars on hand to insure his promise. In stead of waiting in turn for weeks for a Ford car. as many persons had to do during the last few years, it is now possible to get Ford and drive it directly out of the Ford agency as soon as the purchase is made.
 Rudolph also announced yesterday that three carloads of Fordson trac- tors are now enroute to Phoenix from the factory. Although more than 100 Fordsons have been sold in the valley in the last 50 days. Mir. Rudolph said he was sure the demand would con- tinue to warrant the large supply he has ordered.

approximately 200 billion dollars, or fifty times that of our civil war. Of this cost, probably one eighth has fallen upon the United States, and by the time the treaty of peace is signed and all our troops are brought back home, our expense account will prob- ably equal 30 billion dollars.

riots was the Bureau OF Engraving
and Printing. where hundreds of ne
groes are employed. particularly on
the night shifts. Normal conditions
are being rapidly restored and the

by the incensed white employees has
about subsided.
The number OF negroes began to
dwindle after the first night OF rioting
until TUesdaV night there were less
than fifty out OF the 500 regular col
ored employees on the job.
Secret Service men were detailed to
the big building. and Major Pullman
has had a score of policemen on hand
each night TO keep the crowds NOV
ing. Special guards were also placed
around the building to prevent law

WIVES Of GUARDS
WORRY AT HOME

Wartime anxiety on the part OF
the women, those who had sent their
loved ones out to night, reigned again
in the homes of Washington during
the past few nights. Wives Of police
men, families of members Of the
Home Defense League, and the loved
ones of soldiers who guarded the
streets OF the Capital during the
night waited anxiously for the word
that the man" Of the family was
safe.
Until a late hour last night, and
even after midnight, scores Of calls
reached The Times office over the tel
ephone from anxious wives and
mothers or sweethearts.
Many Inquiries.
'1s there any trouble tonight" q
voice would inquire over the tele-
phone, and upon assurance that the
streets were quiet except in a few
instances OF separated disorder, the
questioner would ring on" with =
heartfelt thank you"
Wives OF policemen perhaps suffer
ed the greatest. Those women who
saw their husbands grimly preparing
for a night tour OF duty in streets
which might become ct any minute
battle ground suffered the agonies
Of watchful, fearful waiting until
word came that the streets were
quiet, and the mob spirit broken.
ReasSure Wives.
In more than one precinct station q
policeman, coming in off his tour OF
duty, first reported to the sergeant
at the desk, and then slipping quietly
into the telephone booth called up
the wife. just 10 let her know I'm

AS the offices and Government
buildings poured their crowds on the
street near o'clock in the evening.
the men spent little time standing
around or waiting for any excitement
to develop.
The cars were qulcly filled and the
streets cleared. And II Is thought
that more than one husband hurried
home because of the telephone call
that reached him earlier in te day,

Making Unstable Merchandise salabIe.
By THE MERCHANDISE MAN.

I'VE sell them out as fast as we
show them" said the buyer, but
we can't begin to supply the de-
mand."
In q few days the millinery de-
partment was showing as pretty an
assortment OF ribbon hats as one
would want to look at, and the rib
bon buyer had some real money 10
credit to stock up with the kind OF
merchandise his trade wanted.
A little looking around, a good
designer, and a stock Of dead mer-
chandise made up into hats saved
the store many hundreds Of dollars
and gave two departments a big
boost in gross sales.
The success Of this move was so
great and opened up such an ex-
tensive field for new study, that it
became the principal work Of The
merchandise manager to study each
department from a new angle, and
plan how to use merchandise that
had outlived its usefulness in it,

Store keeping would be q heaven
on earth were it not for the fact
that all buyers are human and
therefore make mistakes in their
selection of merchandise.
As a result there comes a time
when this merchandise must be
turned into money, even at the sac
rlfice of profit and the use Of large
advertising space.
Such a condition arose in a de-
psrtment store some time ago, and
after going over the plans for get
ting rid of the undesirable stock,
suggested that each department fur
nish US with a complete list Of the
unstable merchandise.
We then tabulated the lists and
took them under consideration.
From the ribbon section i found
that many bolts Of q certain grade
Of ribbon had laid dormant for a
long time. Just how to bring rib
bons back to life was a big ques-
tion, but a thorough research
proved that the problem was an
exaggeration of a common diff
Guilty.
One evening happened to be out
at the country club for dinner and
noticed that many Of the women
wore ribbon hats, and having had
ribbons on my mind made a careful
survey of the kind and quality.
The next day I questioned the
millinery buyer and the sales peo-
pie about the demand for ribbon
