''SAFE LIFE" TASK
 OF b|G CAMPAIGN
 FUR EASTERN AID
HERBERT RAWLINSON

Considerable curiosity has been aroused over the wording and form of a novel window card which has made it's appearance simultaneously in the various store and shop windows of the state.
 Save food, money, life. The most important task is before us," is the lettering, in red. The words flood and money" are stricken out, leaving save life" as the all important task.
 There is but one clue given to con- meet this novel advertising with the united drive for relief in the Near East, and that is the date, February 10-17.
 To those who have been reading this paper these dates are already familiar as being the week set aside for the raising of S150,000 in Arizona for the purpose of assisting to save the lives of 100000 children and of rehabilitating Armenians, Syrians and Jews now fighting desolation and want.
 Those to whom the dates mean noth- ing are asked to watch for the explana- tion which will appear on the lower part of the card few days before the opening of the campaign. As a matter of fact, this part of the card will carry message of peculiar importance to every resident of Arizona, and all are asked to watch for 1t.
 Five thousand of these cards were printed and have been distributed from state headquarters to the various chairmen of the coming drive. They are expected to stimulate interest in the great humanitarian work which Arizona is expected to put across, and which has the backing of religious leaders of all denominations.

GAN TEEN SERVICE
 IMPORTANCE GROWS

The Red Cross Canteen Service is more important now that the boys are returning than it was when they were leaving, and if anything, the local com mittees should enlarge rather than diminish their numbers. Our soldier men went away under the excitement of bands and flags and cheers. It was the call of war, and they responded only as the soldier of a free country can respond, but they return to face the handicap of absence, of loss of po- sition, of loss of loved ones, of the new era of industrial reconstruction.
 The Canteen Committee is the van gaurd of that army of American or ganizations which are preparing them selves to make it possible for every soldier to find his place again with the least possible disturbance to the industrial life of the country and the least possible embarrassment to him. self

No film production Of recent years has received such unqualified endorse ment of picture critics as the great spectacle THE COMMON CAUSE which is booked for a three days en- gagement at the Elks theater starting Friday, January 31.

SATURDAY LUNCHEON FORMALLY LAUNCHES
 EAST RELIEF DRIVE

Governor Campbell C. G. Sterrett of Glendale, California, and Dr. von Klein Smid, president of the University of Arizona, have been selected as the speakers for a luncheon to be held at the Adams hotel Saturday noon for mally to launch the united drive for re- lief in the Near East.
 Governor Campbell has accepted the opportunity afforded to lend his influ ence in this new movement, which has for it's object the raising of $500 in this state during the week of February 1O-17, as this states quota in a nation al 45.000,000 fund.
 No word has been received as yet by the committee in charge as to whether Dr. von KleinSmid can attend, but the committee feels that he has shown such a deep interest in this cause that he will be on hand unless previous en- Sagement prevents.
 C. G. Sterrett, the r<ird speaker, is well known in missionary circles, hav- ing served 14 years in Persia under the Presbyterian board of missions. His intimate association with the people of that district and his familiarity with Near East conditions will contribute to the interest which undoubtedly will be accorded his remarks.
 All city and district chairmen of Maricopa county have been asked to attend this luncheon. that they may re- ceive inspiration from the speakers and detailed instructions from state and county leaders. They will be addressed by State Chairman David Goldberg, State Director c. r. Willis, County Chairman Sidney J. Ross and City Chairman Wallace Button.

Probably the most thrilling moment in the film is when the hero and viii lain meet in combat on the edge of one of California's highest cliffs. Second only to this is the chase of the forest rangers in search of the heroine and her abductor. Another line in the plot that is full of heart interest and su,- pense is the escape and wanderings in the San Bernardino mountains of John Willard, a convict.
 The entire drama is acted out SD realistically that it has been placed f'l the very highest class of photoplay ex- cellence.

P. Kelly, it is nicely summed up by the critic of The Motion Picture News:
 Such perfect blending of comedy and pathos: such an ability to reach the most deeply buried heart strings, on one hand, and get all the joys of life out of you in one continuous roar of laughter on the other. I have never witnessed. To be honest. I never thought such a feat possible. Tears and laughter commingle in the same situation. The picture contains all the elements necessary, such as human element Chat of patriotic appeaD ex- citement, thrill and suspense. They are intermingled with pleasing comedy; resulting in an exceptionally pleasing, clean entertainment"

U. S. Gasoline Substitute
Reputed to Reduce the Cost
by Sixty Cents on Dollar

A gasoline substitute which can be
manufactured to sell at two-ifths of
the present cost Of gasoline may be
on the market by the first Of the year.
An announcement by the war depart
ment states that such a substitute
has been produced by the research
and development division of the de-
partment. According to the present
plan, the formula will be released to
manufacturers, probably under some
agreement with the war department
as to the margin Of profit that will
be allowed.
The product, which has kerosene
for a base, is odorless, colorless and
non-corrOsive, according to the war
departments statement, and tests
have proved it to develop a thermal
efficiency greater than the best gaso-
line. 1t was said that Capt. e. c.
Weisgarber, a gas and oil engineer
connected with the department, who
Is responsible for the discovery and
development Of the substitute, will be
relieved from duty and placed in
charge Of its distribution.

reach a billion bushels.
Germany had three dehydraton plants in 1903. Today it has 1900.
Potato -four and dehydrated vegetables enabled Germany to hold III In the

General Pershing last September ordered 10000 tons of dehydrated vege-

Shoe Manufacture in China
Is Conducted by the Women

All China stays home on wet days.
Why? Because Chinese shoes are
made wholly Of cloth, through which
he water readily runs; hence, to
keep dry feet, the Chinese stay in
doors when 1t rains. Chinese shoes
are made by women. Early in child
hood they learn the work, and hus-
band and father and sons are all shod
by the work Of the women of the
household. If the ome can make
more shoes than their own men re-
quire, then they still make shoes-to
be sold in the shops. The tiny shoes
OF the housewife are made in the pri-
vacy Of her own bedroom, not even
the husband watching her work. The
sides Of the shoes are made of new
cloth, anything from cheapest cotton
to richest velvet. Soles are made of
several t~hicknesses Of cloth or paper
put together with paste, with new
cloth on the outside. The soles are
from q half inch to two inchLs thick.
The thickness of the sole Is an evil
dence Of the financial standing Of the
wearer.

Claim Porcelain Industry
Successfully Launched in
U. S. as Result of the War

An important development i'm the
pottery industry of the United States
is the prod iction Of chemical porce-
lain, the manufacture OF which In this
country was considered impossible be-
fore the war. Several operators are
now making chemical porcelain, SAYS
the q. S. Geological Survey Bulletin,
which satisfactorily meets the exact-
Ing requirements Of the laboratory.
In 1917 the value of the output Of
every variety of pottery classified by
the geological survey, except red
earthenware, was greater than i'm 1916.
White ware showed the largest in
crease-$2,7 29,079, or Is per cent. Por-
celain electrical supplies also showed
a large increase-$2.417, 166, or "a per
cent. China, the highest grade of pot
terry, has been a minor product In
value, yet its value In 1917 showed q
increase Of $1,327,534 or SO per cent
compared with 1916. It's value in 1917
was nearly twice as great as in 1913.
The value Of white ware, including
china, which comprises the general
household wares and constitutes more
than 40 per cent of the value Of all
pottery, was $25,726,375 in 1917, an
increase Of $%4,056,613. or 10 per cent,
over 1916. If to this sum is added
the value of the hlgh-grade products,
sanitary ware and porcelain electrical
supplies, the total value in 1917 was
~$47,S14,17S, or $7,99S,579 more than
In 1916.

"0Id King Cole" of Nursery
Fame an Ancient Sovereign

The first reference to sold King
Cole" the 'merry old soul" Of the fam
GUS nursery rhyme, was made In a
book written by DR.. William King,
who was born In 1888. 1t Is probable
that the song was composed in the
seventeenth century, although some
Investigators think 1t much older.
Halliwell Identifies the merry monarch
with Cole or Coel, a semi-mythical
king Of Britain, who Is supposed to
have reigned In the third century.
The Scotch also have an "Old King
Coul," said to have lived In the fifth
century. Freeman and other histo-
rians say a King Cole ruled Britain in
the sixth century. There are many
who assert that the reference to the
pipe indicates that Old King Cole
lived at a period after Raleigh had In
troduced tobacco into Europe, but this
does not necessarily follow, as a
pipe" might mean a musical instru-
sment.
