Department of Agriculture
Pamphlet Tells How to Pre-
serve Without Sugar.

While sugar shipments are reaching
Washington at infrequent intervals
and stores are selling only a limited
quantity to customers, the Depart
ment of Agriculture is making an ef-
fort to relieve the situation by issu-
ing a. pamphlet telling how fruit may
be successfully canned without the
use of sugar. There is no reason
why the fruit crop should be wasted,
says the bulletin. and If desired sirup
can be used to sweeten the fruits In
putting them up for winter use.
To can without sugar, the bulletin
instructions say to fill the Jars con-
tanning the fruit with clean hot
water. instead of the usual sirup.
and process the jars in a hot-water
bath. The fruit will not spoil. but it
will not have quite as fine a flavor
and color as that which is packed in
sirup. 1t may be sweetened when
served next winter. however.
Could Appeal to Refineries.
Chairman Clarence r. Wilson OF the
fair price committee said today that
there was nothing he or his commit
supply of sugar, but that If the sit
uation continued acute he might write
to the refiners and ask them to allot
a larger share of the supply to this
city. No such letter has yet been
written.
and cereals which require milk to
be served with them in local restau-
rants have brought the reply that the
committee, which is acting under the
Department of Justice. has no power
to control restaurant prices.

Can Use Hatchet.

Senator Smoot read a list Of salaries
paid to the woman employees Of the
government dormitories on the
Union station plaza and contended
that they were excessive. He said
that when the war closed It was ex-
pected that many of the government
employees would be sent home. In
stead Of that they are still here.
IF there are more people on the
government pay roll than there
should be-, said Senator Sherman of
Illinois, "the blame rests on this
chamber as much as on the executive
We've got the hatchet and we can
use it."
Senator Sherman said that the ex.-
cutive departments always spent All
the appropriations given to them and
that Congress must cut down the an.

Says Reductions Is Small.

Senator Norris admitted that the
number of government employees
should be reduced. now that the war
is over. which would aid in relieving
the situation. But he pointed out that
they have not been reduced to any
appreciable extent.
. Senator Pomerepe Of Ohio concurred

many are at the mercy Of rapacious
landlords today and that many have

Senator Norris pointed out that 1t

Protection From Profiteers.


Senator Gronna contended that II
Ia the duty of Congress to protect the
people the government brings here
from rent profiteers.
The fear was expressed by Senator
PheIan Of California that the bill
might deter the erection OF new
houses here, which are much needod.
Senator Gronna replied that the
owners of property are not opposing
this measure, and that 1t will not
deter building. but will deter rent
profiteers.
I'VE are confronted with a serious
situation here, and have been since
we entered the war" said Senator
Norris of Nebraska, one Of the con-
ferees on the bill. THE government
of the United States owes it to itself
and to it's employees that the govern
ment employees should be properly
protected in the place where they
must live and work. Conditions here
make it practically impossible for
some Of the government employees to
live in Washington"

 TO7 ARIZONA TOWNS

Shipping directions for 10S trucks, the first apportionment to Arizona by the department of agriculture for road building, have been sent to the depart ment by Thomas Maddock, state en- gineer.
 This is only the beginning The state will get trucks galore, trailers, concrete mixers. tractors and every conceivable sort of equipment to use in building roads. This equipment was all pur chased by the war department for wartime use, and was transferred to the highway bureau of the department of agriculture for distribution to the states in the same proportion as fed eral aid, by rider to the postoffice bill.
 These first 10S trucks are two and three-ton models, Peerless, Nash Quads, Morelands, Internationals and Aviation trucks. They vii be shipped to Arizona points from Camp Kearny, Deming, Indianapolis and Streeter, Ill.
 Engineer Maddock has ordered them shipped to various points in the state where road building is either going on or contemplated in the near future, rather than punching them all in Phoe- nix, to save the state the cost of re- shipment to the job.
 Among the points selected for re- ceiving the trucks are Phoenix, Tue son, Fairbanks, Solomonville, Yuma, Kingman, Holbrook, Flagstaff and Dewey.
