WOMEN'S CLOTHING
SOON To BE CHEAPER

New York, Feb. 2s.~-Prlees of
women's clothing are bound to drop
materially and soon. according to
Howard E. Figg. special assistant
United States attorney general, in
charge of the campaign to lower liv-
ing costs Mr.. t'igg told heads Of
various committees on food and cloth
ing at conference here yesterday
that two department stores In New
York and six other large department
stores in other cities had Cancelled all
orders that had been given for de-
livery after April first
The meeting was held at the Office
of Federal Food Administrator Ar
thur Williams, 1874 East Fifteenth
street, to discuss more vigorous
measures to bring down food and
clothing prices. Another conference
. is TO be held next Tuesday at a
luncheon at the Metropolitan club.
MIR. Figg said great quantities Of
women's clothing had been left in the
/ hands of the manufacturers because
retailers have found that the women
who formerly bought two or three
suits al a time now take only one. The
women refuse to buy because of exor-
/ bitant prices. Mr.. Ffgg said. and the
retailers are limiting purchases til

The Car Service
Has Been Bad

Quite correct! The car serv-
ice has not been what it should
be nor what the officers and
employees Of the company
would have it to be. But there
are mitigating circumstances.
After all, street railway
service is as much matter OF
man-power as Of electric power.
There may be an abundance
of "juice' in the power plant
and trolley wires, but unless
there are men to properly con-
troll and apply it there can be
no car service. The same APP
plies to the equipment. There
may be ever so many cars, but
unless they are kept in proper
repair they are worthless so
far as service to the public is
concerned.
With these thoughts In mind.
the following situation will
readily explain why the service
has been irregular:
On Monday morning, Feb
ruary 2, A men failed to re-
port for duty because of sick
ness. Twenty-Five Of these
were out of the shops where 45
cars we're waiting to be re-
paired.
On Tuesday morning, the
3rd, 132 men were out, of
which number Is were shop
men, and AZ cars were waiting
for repairs.
On Wednesday morning, the
4th, 1853 men we're out, of which
number 20 were from the shops,
where 4S cars were waiting to
be- repaired.
On Thursday morning, the
eth, 161 men were ont, of
which 90 were shop men, and
As cars were waiting for re-
pairs.
On Friday morning, the
9th, 152 men were out, of
which Il were from the shops,
where .45 cars were waiting for
repairs.
On Saturday morning, the
eth, lit men were short, OF
which II were out of the shops,
where so cars were waiting to
be repaired.
This one week is sufficient to
indicate what the situation has
been in the street railway
ranks since the epidemic of
sickness which started in JAN
nary. 1t was enough to cripple
the service entirely, but the
"Safety" cars saved the day.
With better weather condi-
tons ahead, the shop force
should soon be able to catch up
on the repairs, and an improve
ment in the service will be
noted.
Many patrons have in a gen
eral way understood why the
' service was crippled and their
forbearance and cooperation
has been appreciated by the
officers and employees Of the
company

EXISTENCE OF 6 COUNTIES
 HANG IN THE BALANCE

The existence of at least six coun- ties in Arizona will hang in the bal ance while the initiated county divi- sion measure is voted on at the gen eral election.
 Under the present constitution ev- cry man and woman in every county in Arizona is entitled to vote at any time an attempt is made to divide the county. The county division meas ure would amend the constitution so as to take away the right to the bal lot from the people of any county as whole and give the vote only to qualified electors within any section, no matter how large or small, that desired to withdraw from it's present county or counties.
 The measure has been vigorously opposed in practically every section of the state with the exception of Mi ami, where the measure was drawn up in the hope that it might be made state law and enable the Miami district to set up new county with the greater portion of the entire wealth of Gila county. Inasmuch as the voters of Gila county went on record six years ago as not favoring such division, the measure was de- signed to take away the right of the entire county to vote in order that i the plan for creating new Miami county might be carried out without regard to the wishes of the people of the county as a whole.
 Miami is said to have relied on Mesa for support of the measure, but leading county divisionists in Mesa recently declared that, all though they believed the present laws on the subject should be changed, they would not support such unfair and undemocratic" changes as the proposed county division measure calls for, and expressed the belief that the proposed measure would, if it should be adopted, "work an inius- tice on every property owner in Ari- zona."

While on their way to this city by way of Sacaton, on Monday, party of automobilists stopped on the Pima Indian reservation to shoot quail.

The children, mere babies, were nailed to the fence of the Garcia corral. Upon discov- cry of the crime, the military com at Altar ordered Garcia's ar rest, shortly after which he was ex- ecuted,

CARDS WERE STACKED
 FOR DRAFT PURPOSES

Advance statistics of the 1920 cen sus seem to bear out if they do not conclusively prove the assertion made in 1917 that the south was favored in the administration of the consription law" declares the Republican Public ity assocition, through it's president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, IT,, in the fol- lowing statement:
 "It will be remembered that on January 1, 1917, in accordance with a long standing custom, the census bureau issued an estimate of the pop ulation of the different states making its estimates in accordance with rules which it had long observed. In July, 1917, the same bureau made an esti- mate of population for conscription purposes, and this estimate disclosed amazing reductions in population in the southern states. There were some equally surprising increases in pop ulation in northern states.
 Alabama, for instance, lost 40O,- 900 of it's population for conscription purposes, while Connecticut gained 46O,OO.
 Georgia lost approximately 4OO,- 900 population for conscription pur- poses, while Illinois gained more than a million.
 Louisiana lost 100000 population for conscription purposes, while Iowa gained 100000.
 Kentucky lost 36O,OOO for con scription purposes, while Michigan gained nearly million.
 Mississippi lost 100000 for con- scription purposes, while Masachu- sets gained nearly 100000. North Carolina lost 270,0O0 for conscription purposes, while Ohio gained 100000.
 Virginia lost 25O,000 for conscrip- tion purposes, while New York gain ed S00,000.
 "The strange feature of the whole business is that the recently publish ed statistics of the 1920 census show that in nearly every instance where these southern states lost population to such an amazing extent for con- scription purposes, they have gained it back for the purposes of apportion- ment of representation in congress. "It is difficult to imagine what ex- planation the administration can offer for the marvellous decreases in pop ulation between January 1, 1917, and July 1, of the same year, in view of the restored population as shown by the census of 1920.
 "No one has ever questioned the ab- solute loyalty of the south in the re- cent war. No one has questioned the valor or the fighting ability of the men who went overseas from that section of the south. Nevertheless the administration has made up the record under the conscription law and the census law and that record is open for the inspection and com ment of all who can read and com pare figures.
 "If there was sectionalism in the prosecution of the war the people of the south should not be held respon- sible for it. If the north feels that it was called upon to bear more than it's share of the burden, it's resentment should not be against the south, but against those officials who are respon- sible for a decreased estimate of pop ulation when the figures were to be used for conscription purposes, only to be followed later by a restoration of former figures for purposes of rep resentation in congress"
