A. HOPEFUL SIGN.

With $4,000 soldiers reported to
have applied for farms under the plan
evolved by Secretary Lane for pIac-
ing returning fighters upon hitherto
untitled lands, it would seem that this
scheme, SO full Of promise on paper,
fs in fair way to work out success
fully in practice. III it does, even in
a measurable degree, Secretary Lane
will have done one Of the truly can
structiye works which were so gen
orally predicted as certain to be con
sequent upon the war.
Congress should give the most gen
erous cooperation to Mr.. Lane and
the 1atter's associates, who have been
studying this project since soon after
we entered the war. So far as is ap-
parent, there has been little or no par
tisanship between the Democratic De-
partment of the Interior and the Re
publican leaders i'm Congress i'm their
negotiations respecting the necessary
legislation. There should be none at
any stage. Ample money should be
provided by Congress for the effectual
development of the farms.
For the placing of large numbers of
soldiers upon new farms is pregnant
with numerous chances Of good. 1t
will increase the food supply, and our
land, with its rapid increase in popula-
ton, must give attention to food sup
ply, particularly as the last few de-
Cades have witnessed movement Of
youth away from the farm which has
not been offset entirely by the notable
and constant introduction Of labor
saving machinery. Not only that,
placing soldiers on farms, with proper
setting for success Of the Industrious,
will give an outlet to the craving for
life in the open, for the more strenu-
o"s life, which has been quickened
liz The hearts of tens of thousands of
American boys by their army M-

this craving, which might ,follOr If
the boys were forced unwil1rngly
back into the sedentary pursuits of
the cities
Again, the movement of these
husky young heroes, $4,000 or more
strong, to the farm, with its oppur-
tunity for Independent endeavor, may
affect the psychology of all youth
may open the eyes of boys now ON the
farms to the attractions of the life
a -out them, and may draw city-bred 4
boys from the haberdasheries and the I;

not to be forgotten that this i'm turn
may shift the weight of unemployment
from the cities and relieve the fire. !

there, which would mean also lessen

cities under the blight of unemplOy-

By all means, let Secretary Lane
and Congress go ahead. The $4,000
soldier applicants for farms are one
of the hopeful signs of these troublous

DUMP POISON GAS IN OCEAN
CNeW York Trihnnel


 Washington.-The first lot of poison gas which the American army devel oped and manufactured for use in kill ing Germans in the great spring drive, scheduled for 1919, but halted by the signing of the armistice, has been dis posed of by dumping it at sea- It con sisted of 10000 poison gas shells and some large drums, or containers. of poison gas, which have just been taken to sea from Baltimore and dropped into Davy Jones's locker. The gas disposed of consisted of mustard gas and chlor picric gas, both of which are very dan gerous and could not be used conner cially.
 The 100000 gas shells were brought back from France on a transport about two weeks ago. After the other cargo of the transport had been unloaded the poison gas shells were taken in the same transport from Baltimore out to sea a distance of between 50 and 100 miles and dumped in about 1,500 feet of water. It was dumped deep enough not to have any effect on navigation, and far enough at sea not to have any effect on the coast.
 The containers taken to sea and dumped showed signs that they were soon about to begin to leak as a result of the chemical effect of the gas, and in the interest of safety these were taken to sea and disposed of under di- rections given by Major Sibert. head of the chemical warfare service.

MINES STILL A SEA PERIL
Scientific American)

Even if the German admiraly has ac- curate charts of it's own mine fields. the complete removal of these would not mean that the seas have been rid of this deadly peril. Swift currents and heavy seas frequently cause the mines to break adrift from their moor ings and when this happens each mine becomes a floating menace which is more deadly to navigation than any water-logged lumbe rschooner or other derelict of the sea.
 The allied navies followed strictly the rules of The Hague convention, and when allied mines went adrift or tor pedoes went astray they became, or were designed to become innocuous The ruthless methods of sea warfare followed by the enemy included total neglect in this precaution, with the re- suit that Heaven alone knows how many mines are floating on the surface of the sea that require only a touch from passing ship to detonate them.
 For these reasons we think that for some time to come shipping should continue to use the protective measures which proved so effective during the war, particularly when they are pass ing through waters such as those lying off our own coast and those of Europe where the enemy mine layers were most active during the war Many mer- chant shippers are alive to the danger and are acting accordingly. The cap- tain of a freight ship informs us that once clear of the harbor entrance of an American port, he throws over board his paravanes and does not take them in until he is well out to sea; and that, on approaching his European port of destination, he makes d point of dropping them overheard again.
 How long the peril will continue cannot even be conjectured; but it will be remembered that more than a year after the close of the Russo Japanese war a merchant ship was sunk in the eastern waters of the Pacific by mine which had broken adrift during or sub sequently to the naval operations of the war. For long time to come it will be the duty of the watch to keep sharp lookout for this deadly peril of the sea

CITY HALL AND COURT
 HOUSE EPLANNED
At Joint Meeting of Super visors and City Commis- sionerS Single Pretentious Structure Proposed

A handsome structure as the official home of both Maricopa county and the city of Phoenix may be erected-to be credit alike for both and for the state.
 If plans discussed yesterday after noon and tentatively agreed upon by the board of supervisors of Maricopa county and the city commission of Phoenix are carried out, it will result m the building in this city of one of the finest and most modern buildings in the state of Arizona
 At a joint meeting held at the office of the board of supervisors ill the court house yesterday afternoon it was de- cided that it would be to the interest of the taxpayers of both the county and the city to erect a municipal build ing large enough to accommodate both the county and city.
 With the city and county equally in urgent need of new buildings for their official homes, the proposition to unite their projects into one splendid struc- ture has been favorably considered by the supervisors and the city commits sioners.
 The board of supervisors have been planning to erect d new court house at a cost of about S700,000 and the city commissioners have been contem- plating the erection of new city hail at a cost of about s500,000.
 It was the concensus of opinion at the joint meeting of the supervisors and commissioners yesterday that at least $250000 could be saved to the lax payers of the county and city by the erection of a joint building on one of the two sites now owned by the county and city. In addition to the large saving effected in the first cost of the building, it also would result, they agreed, in a saving in the cost of operation.
 There would be a saving. they say, in the heating of the building, in the ventilation and in the elevator ser vice. But the greatest saving would be effected, they point out, in the time saved by the many people who have business to transact at either the court house or the city hall.
 The tax departments of the county and the city, for instance, could be so arranged that it would be necessary for a person having business with both the county and the city tax offices to step only from one room to an adjoin- ing one in order to transact such buSlueSS Mduy OIHer Sl1nlldr depart ments could be arranged in like manner
 Either Site Satisfactory
 Judging from the unanimity of the meeting yesterday. there would be nc controversy over the selection of the site for such combined court house and city hall, for both the board oi supervisors and the city commissioners expressed themselves as being favor able to either the court house site ol the city hall site as a location for the pToposed building.
 The supervisors and commissioners stated yesterday that they are willing to submit the matter of the location o1 such a building to the taxpayers al inc same time that the election is helC for the approval of the bond issue.
 Another meeting at a nearly date is planned at which time there undoubt- edly will be a joint committee ap- pointed to work out the details of the plan.

New Show a Hit at American

Miss Aileen Walker is not only "A Good Fellow" but she put enough pep" into the character to put over another great show at the American. The new bill that opened last night sustained the very enviable reputation established by this popular musical combination.
 A Good FeloW'' not only carries well-defined plot, but it is cleverly worked out and interest never lags for a minute. There are ten real musical hits among them: ''The Burglar Rag" by Bud Duncan, MT Healy and the Girls; Sometime" by Billy Cochran and "The Land of Yama Yama" by Harry Dale, who by the way lnasi Harry Dale, who by the way is new member of The American Musical Revue.
 Another new member, Marie Dale, was added to the chorus She works on the end toward Adams street. She is pretty and works with life and pep" Well if she wasn't and didn't, she could never get in that chorus, for they are the livelisst and comliest bunch of femininity that ever brought gasp from a baldheaded row.
 Tonight "A Good Fellow" will be repeated and this is also the big sur prise night. There are many beautiful things in store for the patrons.
 The same bill will run until Friday when the offering will be the laughing hit or the century, "A air ofsSixes.'

There are no more "blue rooms in the state highway department for Governor Campbell some time ago or dered them discontinued. The F'blue room" was the separate dining room maintained for the engineers, foremen, and other officials of the department, where they dined while the men were fed in the common room. Since the order was issued all men and officials eat together at common mess, and the mess is said to be somewhat bet ter than the average man is able to afford at home.

JUSTUS GOEBEL DIES
 IN OH|O; HAD LARGE
 INTERESTS IN VALLEY

Word was received in Phoenix yes terday of the death of Justus Goebe1 who died in Cincinnati several days ago.
 Goebel, who had large ranch inter ests here, left Arizona to care for his Ohio property. He was president of the Lowry -Goebel company. a large carpet and rug concern, and took an active part in the conduct of its bus mess. After leaving here to make his home in the east, he returned ire quently and was particularly attached to his Goebel Heights lands in this vicinity.
 Goebel was a brother of William Goebel, who was shot and killed when governor of Kentucky. While Justus Goebei was keenly interested in poli- tics he cared little for the glory of public life and devoted his abilities along practical business lines
 He is survived by three children, daughter, Lillian, and two sons. Will liam Goebel and Lieutenant Justus Goebel.

BOILING POINT BEST
 TEST FUR GASOLINE
 SO SAYS GOVERNMENT

As the Standard Oil company points out in an announcement elsewhere in this issue the government has adopted boiling points as standard test of gasoline value. Theg ravity test was discarded because it told nothing Of the real quality of gasoline.
 It was the needs of the war which caused the government to seek 9 standard test for aviation and general motor gasoline as part of it's fuel con- sevation program. The demand for gasoline and other petroleum pro ducts had become so great that some action was Necessary. Consequently, last summer President Wilson ap- pointed a committee under the di- rection of the fuel administration to adopt standard specifications for gaso- line.
 This committee stated in it's report that there would be no gravity limi- tations in the specifications for either aviation or motor gasoline because it had been found that gravity was of little or no value in determining the quality of gasoline. The standards adopted were based on boiling points.
 Gasoline is known to the refiner as one member of the petroleum fam fly. He distinguishes each member of the family, not by gravity, but by boiling points. Gravity is a fleeting standard of test, but boiling points are unchanging in their value and always determine the quality of the product. Knowing them the refiner can keep his product uniform an dreliable.
 A boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid will begin to boil or vaporize.
 In distilling given quantity of gaso- line the refiner aScertains at what point each 10 per cent will boil, until the entire quantity is evaporated or distilled. In this way he determines what is known as teh initial boiling point as we'll as all intervening boil ing points in the chain. up to the maximum, high boiling point
 The ideal gasoline has a continuous and uniform chain of boiling points, and should have enough low points to vaporize freely and to give easy start ing. There should also be the right proportion of medium and high boil l ing points for quick acceleration, full | power and long mileage.
 AS combustion starts with lowest 1 boiling points and flashes on through 1 the gas, the continuous, uniform chain 1 is necessary for instantaneous full | powered combustion. Only straight distilled, all-refinery gasoline can have this full and unbroken chain.
 The United States governments standard specifications, based or boiling points, are generally considered i in ha of r. most practical standard for gasoline They insure an efficient and satisfac- tory fuel, produced with due regard for conservation, and sold at reason able price.
 All Red Crown gasoline now being supplied on the Pacific coast is re- fined to conform to these specified. tions. It has a full, uniform chain O boiling points necessary for easy start ing, quick, smooth acceleration, de pendable power and long mileage.

BOARD UT HEALTH HAD' RIGHT ID CLOSE MOVIE. HOUSE, SAYS DECISION

That the board of health of Gi1a county was within it's rights when it ordered the moving picture theaters owned by c. J. Alden in Globe to close during an influenza epidemic, was the decision of the supreme court in an opinion handed down yesterday.
 A Alden appealed to the superior court for writ of habeas corpus, which was denied. The supreme court up- held the decision of the lower court.
 County attorneys are allowed by law to employ such help as may be nec- essary in prosecuting cases, according to a decision handed down yesterday by the supreme court in the case of Pinal county vs. T. A. Nicholas, af- firming the judgment of the lower court and granting to the plaintiff, Nicholas, a claim of S1,0S4.9o.
 The county attorney of Pinal coun- ty in a forgery case empoIyed Los Angeles handwriting expert The ex- pert assigned his claim to Nicholas who brought suit.
 The supreme court dismissed the ap- peal of O. Gibson vs. the supervisors of Cochise county, wherein he had asked for a writ of prohibition to pre- vent the calling of an election to move the county seat. The court held that the matter has already been decided in favor of the contention of Gibson by the defeat of the matter which he was opposed in the last election, taking judicial notice of this fact.

PIERRE IF PLA|NS"
 SUCCESS OF SEASON

If any of the patrons of the theaters who enjoy a dramatic performance such as only comes to. their favorite playhouse once a season or less, they must not fail to see Del S. Lawrence's portrayal of Pierre of the Plains" at the Ells this week. It has been adver- tised as Mir. Lawrence's greatest crea- tion. and he certainly lived up to his press agents promises. His handling of this most difficult role is indeed a masterpiece. His makeup. dialect.
 Pierre of the Plains has always been suspected of being a rather heavy sort of drama It is as production. But nthe hands of MT. Lawrence and the talented Lawrence company it de- velops into one of the most interesting comedy dramas that has been seen here in many moons.
 Too much cannot be said of the sup porting cast. Miss Wilma Steck. in is not only a comedienne of the high est degree, but can also handle drama tic situations.
 Others who deserve more than pass ing mention are Howard Nugent as Peter Gaibraith. MT. Hadley as Jap Durkin, the renegade. Particularly good was the big knife fight between Lawrence and himself in the third act MT. Penfold as Val Galbraith gave a good account of himself, as did MT. Aldrige in the very difficult role of Sergeant Reading. Miss Printy and Miss Nugent were buried under an In- dian makeup and most of their friends failed to recognize them.
 Altogether, Pierre Of the Plains is far the best performance of the Law renee company up to date, which is saying a good deal. Patrons of the Elks theater are notified that the per- formance this week will commence at S:3O new time, so don't be late or you'll regret it.

Mesa-Superior highway, now under construction, visited and inspected the camp, ate dinner at the common mess and went on into Superior. There they were invited to attend a smoker at the Magma club. which has a very fine clubhouse. Features of the smok- CT were wrestling and boxing bouts.
 Sunday the party went to Florence and inspected the state prison. Gov ernor Campbell reports the institution in good shape, with nearly all the ar able land under cultivation. One of the points that impressed the governor is that through all the flu" epidemics that have ragged the past winter, there has not been single case in the prison, though they are receiving new prisoners all the time.
