WHITE ELEPHANT OFF
 MY HANDS SAYS GATES
(From Fridays Daily)


 In closing yesterday an option deal for his White Elephant group of mines situated i'll Blue Tanks district, Gordon A. Gates stated the above title conveyed an expression of his feelings about the burden he had car ried, and he was pleased to let go of the property. The incoming oper- ator is II. E. Satters, of Nevada City, Cal, and under the agreement enter ed into this mining man is to go to work under certain conditions in a specified time.
 The name of White Elephant was derived by the huge white quartz out crop, and was given many years ago by the original locator, Steve A. Simpson. It is understood Mir. Sat ters will remove the familiar name and substitute a new one. Develop ment given aggregates about l,7O0 feet, and the values are gold and sil- yer.
 It was reported some years ago that telluride of gold streak existed on the hanging wall but this condition is not vouched for by Mir Gates. A small cash payment follows the trans action, and in a snort time applica- ton for patent is to be made, one fraction of a claim being now pat euted.

CUPID IS BUSY MANY
 TANKS ARE VICTIMS

PARIS, April I5-That Cupid was nearly as busy as Mars with the members of the American expedi- tionary force and that romance bloomed in France in spite of wars alarms is shown by the fact that more than six thousand French women have been wooed and won by Ameri- can soldiers within one year. The majority of the French girls who have become American through mar rying men and officers of the Ameri- can expeditionary force are stenog- raphers, salesgirls or teachers, with a sprinkling of peasant girls and those of the middle class or bour- geoise.
 The romances are in most cases very similar. A soldier would be bil- leted with q French family member of which would be a girl of mar riageable age Together they would delve into the intricacies of the French language, sign language being promptly superseded by a combina- ton of Anglo French.
 The clean-cut, healthy physique of the Americans, their politeness and generosity would appeal to the heart of the French girl who saw in the American the realization of her dreams. As a rule, the Americans also made no secret of the particular sympathetic feeling they had for the French girls and as natural se' quence marriages resulted.
 Many such pairs now arc puzzled whether the wife should accompany her husband to America or the hus- band should make his home ill France. It is expected that fully 50 per cent of the benedicts will adopt France for their future home.

THE INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC AS
 SEEN BY STATE HEALTH OFFICE
FROM BULLETIN, ARIZONA BOARD OF HEALTH

There is still considerable influenza and pneumonia in many parts of the State, and this condition calls for a continuation of careful work on the part of Health Officers. In many localities that should be healthy on account of altitude and climate, the housing accommodations and sani- tary conditions are inadequate Such conditions are a menace to human life and the sickness engendered thereby is rendered worse by the grouping of many persons in small areas. The prevention of crowds gathering and public meetings tends to inhibit the spread of the disease. Incidental to this, one small house should not contain two or three fami- lies whether in town or rural dis tricts.
 Last Years Epidemic.
 The attention of the State Health Department was called to the condi- ton in the northern part of the State last October when effective measures were carried out in Winslow, Ho1- brook, Flagstaff and other towns to deal with the situation. The use of vaccine has been considered by many as a valuable aid in preventative work
 Not all of the precautionary meas ures adopted are practical. The maintenance of robust health may Dc said to be the best precautionary measure. To secure this, hygienic habits must be maintained. They should be taught, if possible, as part of home and school routine. Excerpts From Report of American
 Public Health Association.
 The American Public Health Asso- citation held meeting in Chicago last December at which much discussion was devoted to influenza. A com mittee was appointed to make recom- mendations from digests of reports in order to present working plans for Health Officers. The following ex- tracts convey some idea of the con clusions arrived at by Members:
 1. The present epidemic is to be with us in varying degrees of viru- lence for the next year or two.
 2. It is the result of a disease oi "extreme communicability' and so far as is known in confined to human beings.
 3. The micro-organism or virus responsible for this disease has not been identified.
 A. There exists no known labora- tory method defining the difference between influenza and an ordinary severe condition of cold and bron- chitis. E
 5. There is no known laboratory method determining the time limit the transmission of the dis case from one person to another.
 G. Deaths resulting from influenza are usually due to pneumonia involv- ing an invasion of the lungs by one or more forms of pneumococci; such nvasion being secondary to initial attack.
 2. Evidence shows that the disease

 Chapter of the Pacific Division have been called upon to donate sew ing machines for shipment to France immediately upon completion of pres ent production orders. The Division has asked that all machines not re- uuired for future work be shipped as soon as possible to the Red Cross warehouse, San Francisco Accord ing to latest advices from France, sewing machines are one of the greatest needs in the devastated dis tricts. With the machines will be shipped raw materials which will save the expense to the Red Cross of having garments made in local fac tories and at the same time, will give of refugees an opportunity to become self-supporting.

is contracted through the nose and mouth on the part of the patient from the same organs of another in fected by the micro-oganisms or virus of influenza.
 8. Widespread educational publicity regarding precautionary and remedial measures must be enforced by Health Officers. The public should be ap- pealed to and made acquainted with every phase of the disorder and the dangers of infection.
 g. Patients suffering from the in- auenza should be isolated or quar- antined.
 10. Assuming the cause to be an unknown virus there would seem to be no logical basis for the use of vaccines.
 Opinions differ regarding the truth of this last conclusion on the part of the Association.
 Validity of Quarantine Laws.
 Questions have arisen regarding the powers of the State Board of Health to establish quarantine and arbitrarily close halls, theatres, and places of public resort as a precau- tionary measure in the treatment of the epidemic. Tn order to throw light upon this subject the following quo- tations from the Public Health Laws of Arizona" may not be out of place.
 Chapter l. Section 4. The Board shall have power and it shall be its duty:
 3. To make and enforce all needful rules and regulations for the preven- tion and cure and to prevent the spread of any contagious, infectious or malarial disease among persons and domestic animals.
 4. To establish quarantine and iso- late any person affected with any contagious or infectious or epidemic and endemic disease.
 CONTROL OF COMMUNI-
 CABLE DISEASES
 Section 5. Paragraph 1. The term absolute quarantine as used in these regulations shall be construed to mean and include, First: Absolute prohibition of entrance to or exit from a building or conveyance ex- cept by officers or attendants author ized by the health authorities and the  placing of guards, if necessary, to en- force this prohibition.
 In order to safeguard the public. the State Board of Public Health will enforce this law whenever and wher- ever 1t may seem necessary upon good evidence secured.
 Cooperative Effort Shown.
 It has been a source of qualification to physicians and-nurses alike to wit ness the splendid cooperative spirit shown by social workers of both sexes who have spared neither time nor money in assisting in combating the epidemic. Much valued assist ance has been rendered by school teachers who, in nearly every strick- en community, nobly volunteered their services as aides and performed good work at time when help was hard to secure.

In this article Mr.. McAdoo will
outline the reasons for his recent ac-
ton in asking Congress to extend
for five years the period of govern.
ment operation and control of the
railroads. He will clear up some
doubts that have existed as to his
attitude on the question of govern
ment ownership and government
control. There is no other war
problem Of as great interest to all
the people as this question Of what
shall he done with the railroads
now that the war contingency has
passed Whether you agree with

he will raise you will find his artic-
le Of the greatest interest, coming
as it does from the directing head
Of all the railroads in the United
States. Look out for this article in

will be worth reading.
Among other matters that Judge
Beede aims to bring to the atten-
ton of the legislature during his

necessity Of enacting the wolf boun.
ty law again. The bounty on coy

the last legislature. Since then
these predatory animals have ill.,
creased to such an extent as to
make some protection for the farm
