WEATHER REPORTED
 FAVORABLE TO STOCK

Much warmer weather prevailed in all sections of the grazing area during the past week which taken in connec- ton with the fact that there was no stormy weather nor high winds made the period a favorable one for stock. At the close of the week the snow GOV ering was confined to summer ranges having disappeared rapidly from lower elevations The loss of moisture by evaporation was large but springs and streams are holding up well; water holes, however showed considerable loss. Patches of snow remain on the ground in the vicinity of Grand Can yon, Williams and Pinto. At Cars ranch, on the Roosevelt watershed, three inches of snow are on the ground while near the top of Baker mountain the depth ranges from six to eight inches.
 Where water has been scarce for any length of time the condition of stock ranges from poor to fair. This is true of many southern sections particularly in the valleys and at low elevations. In the Chiricahua national forest the weather has been remarkably cold and dry; nearly all classes of stock are holding up well except on certain ranges where water is getting low and some suffering is resulting. On the northeastern plateau a considerable amount of feeding has been done. The forest ranger at Pinal Ranger Sta ton near Globe reports that there is only 33 per cent of the average depth of snow on the ground and that the pros poets for stock and irrigation water for the coming season are poor Re- ports from the forest ranger at Eager, Arizona, are to the effect that snow depths in the White mountains and Blue range are only one half what rAsy were at this time last year; sheep. cat tie and horses are wintering well and no feeding has been done thus far, Range feed continues excellent in the Pinedale section and stock good; where water is abundant stock are excellent Weather has favored cotton picking during the last week but progress has been slow, owing to unfavorable | economic conditions. Piles of unginned cotton in the dooryards of farmers are ] a common sight in the Salt River val

CITY MAY ACT ID INSURE SAFETY IN
 USING GAS HEATERS

Appointment of city gas inspector will be recommended by City Health Officer Dr. H. K. Beauchamp as re- suit of cases of carbon monoxide poi soning, some of which resulted fatally, it has been announced unofficially The matter of such an appointment probably will be introduced at a city commission meeting in the near future.
 More than a dozen cases of carbon monoxide poisoning hava haan reported within the past three years, it was said, and three deaths have been traced directly to it's effects. it was stated.
 Greatest care should be exercised in the installation of instantaneous gas heaters, especially in small rooms where free ventilation is impossible" said a city official yesterday. We have heard that some of these heaters are not provided with the proper vents to carry off the fumes.
 Carbon monoxide is one of the most dangerous of all gases" he continued, for the pure carbon monoxide is ab soluteIy odorless. One does not fully realize that he is slowly being over come Death is likely to be instan- taneous or the victim may live for a period of hours. There is no doubt that many persons have inhaled carbon monoxide gas without realizing it. That they were not COnplelely ONSI- come is due to the fact that they got ino the open air before the gas had an opportunity to do it's work" For this reason, the speaker declared, it is probable that the city commission will take action to insure safety meas ures in the use of gas. If the plans of the city health officer are carried out to the letter, he said, the city inspector will visit every home in which gas heater has been installed. Gas fur naces will also be subjected to inspec- tion, it was declared, for they also are likely to give off poisonous fumes if not properly installed.
 | One positive case of carbon mon oxide poisoning was reported last Sat urday. MT. Bear, residing at 392 North First avenue, was a victim of the gas while preparing for a bath. When his body struck the floor, however, it aroused other persons in the house and he was carried into the open air, where he quickly revived under the care of a physician.

DELIVERY
 MAIL WILL BE LEFT
 WITHOUT RECEIPT

Because of a recent ruling of the postoffice department. in which the attention of the public is directed to that fact that the special delivery sys- teun is designed for speedy delivery of mail and not for it's safety, announce ment was made yesterday by $. J. Nicholson, postmaster, that hereafter special delivery mail will be delivered without receipts. and. in cases where the recipients are not at home or in their offices when the mail is deliv- cred, it will be left in the regular mail receptacles, with a notice under the door that it has been placed in the boxes
 It has been the custom heretofore to require receipts for special delivery mail, which made personal delivery es- sential. When, as often happened, there was no one there to receive the mail and receipts for it. it was neces- sary to return it to the postoffice and send it again on the regular delivery, which practically nullified the object of the special delivery system. Tn oth- CT cases, according to Postmaster Mi chelson, it happened that special de- livery mail consigned to business and professional offices would be delivered after the regular postman had made his rounds. a state of affairs caused by the fact that these offices were not open until after the first regular de- livery had been made. In these cases the recipients would wonder why their special delivery mail had not been de- livered sooner, when, in fact, it had been delivered and than taken back to the postoffice because it was impossi- | ble to get receipts for it.
 Under the new system, messengers ] 4l. sal ,afI and if personal service cannot be ef- i fected, will leave it. In the case ot apartment houses or office building: the messenger, if personal service can not be had, will leave the mail in thu ! regular office receptacle and will leave notice under the door of the apart \ ment or office that the mail has beer | delivered. When, however, the re ' ceptacle is near the door of the apart
 ment or office no notice will be left
 Matter too large to be placed in tn
 regular receptacles will not be left bu
 will be returned to the postoffice an'
 will be delivered with the regular mai
 when there is someone present to re
 ceive it.
 Particular stress is laid on the fac
 that the new system has been place
 in effect because the special deliver.
 plan has for it's object the speedy de
 livery of mail. Registered, insured an
 c. O. D. mail will be delivered and re
 ceipted for in the usual manner, as il these cases the prime object is safety Demanding receipts for special deliv
 cry mail. it is pointed out, nullifie
 to a great extent the celerity of deliv
 cry for which the system has been de
 vised, while making it slightly safe
 which is an object never intended i
 the special delivery system. All ma
 containing currency or articles of val ue should be registered as heretofor,

MARY PICEF0RD AT STRAND IN "LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROYc

The story Of Little Lord Fauntle- roy" at the Strand. Is a favorite with both the last generation and the present one. This novel child of romance by Frances Hodgson Bur nett actually swayed the country in the early sos, and created a costume vogue which either afflicted or de- lighted the children of that time. de- pending upon what their tempera- ments happened to be. The long curls,> the velvet tam, the lace collar. the flowing sash the knee breaches and the slippers of the young hero were wished by doting mothers upon sons who. like the lad ir the book, writhed between loyalty to mother and the budding spirit of manhood. The moral influence of the story. how ever. prevailed over all resist ance for a long time, owing to ad- miration felt even by the most re- bellious for the fine character dra vn in Little Lord Fauntleroy Mary Pickford has taken this story and without changing it's plot has so hu- manized the role of the boy that She comes prepared to give a laugh for every tear. As the mother, Dear est, sine gives a demonstration of what she has often expressed pref erence for, her ability to delineate an appealing adult character.

MEASURE APPEALING DOG
 LAW PRESENTS PROBLEM
By FRED II. GoRMLEY Montgomery Fsurean. The Age-Heraid 221-2 First National Rh nI< HuiIdino

Montgomery. November 2.-Gov- ernor Kilby will ponder long and reflect we'll the advantages and dis advantages of such act before he signs the bill repeating Alabama S dog law which was passed with little opposition by the legislature at the special session which closed Satur- day night The bill repeating the law is one of the few general meas ures which remain on the governors desk
 Governor Kilby knows that the law Is one of the most unpopular ever placed on the statute books, but he also knows that since it was en- acted sheep raising has become an important industry In some counties. notably Baldwin and Sumter and that fewer complaints have been re- ceived about the depredations of dogs throughout the state. He also knows that the funds derived from licenses imposed by the dog law of bringing indigents to the state Pasteur institute for treatment after they have been bitten by rabid dogs.
 The governor has called for in- formation about the annual revenue which the state is now receiving from the dog law. He has 10 days from the final adjournment of the legislature in which to approve a law. If 1t Is not approved by the end of the ten days the bill will die.
 No bills were approved during Wednesday,

EFFICIENCY IS PROVEN
Clean-Up Squad Found Little Work
 After Red Cross Finished

Selma, November Especial )-- Indicative of the splendid work done for several years past by the home service department of the Dallas county Red Cross chapter was the small number of World war veterans applying to the "clean-up" squad, composed of government experts in hospitalization, vocational training and compensation, which came to Selma Tuesday morning. and left this afternoon, after considering ap- plications and claims from less than 50 men.
 Steady and consistent attention to the interests of Dallas county men, entitled to compensation and other considerations from the government, has characterized the efficient func- ,tioning of the home service depart ment of which Mrs. Law Lamar, Sr., is chairman and Miss Ellen Calhoun, secretary. Of eight special requests for information in regard to claims filed with the "clesn-up" squad. sev- eral of these had already been filed with the government through the Red Cross and had been rejected

 In reply to another question from the floor, Mir. Chamberlain said; II presume it will be a. discussion on the real purpose and essential object of the Washington conference. which is the reduction of armaments."
 When asked whether the whole question of the Anglo-Japanese all liance could be. raised in the dis- cussion, MT. Chamberlain said he did not think the resolution would cover that phase, adding; q should depre- cate as contrary to public interest any discussion of tho kind indicated v
 The objection of Sir Francis found considerable support, but nothing came of his protest.
 The motion will be presented by John Robert Clynes, stephen Walsh, J. II. Thomas, Arthur Henderson and Thomas Shaw. It reads:
 That this house warmly approves of the meeting of the international conference at Washington and trusts that a supreme effort will be made to arrive at such measures of agree ment as will secure a substantial and progressive reduction of the crushing burden of armaments, and prevent the exportation of munitions of war by private firms from one country to another"
