Johnson, manager of the wool worth company in Phoenix, on Aprii 20. 1921. caused his wife, Florence K.

One Pound Of Ice A Day Ration For
 Federal EnapIoyes

Either the powers that be, in Washington or elsewhere. have not seen any weather reports from Phoenix lately, or they are berg upon forcing a quick change in personnel in the federal building. il judgment is to be rendered on a ruling received yesterday which limited the ap- portionment of ice to one pound a day for each man or woman in the office.
 The order also removed the water coolers from the various departments and in place of them placed one in each corridor for tht use of all the occupants of the floor. One cooler of ice water for floorful of employees during an entire day would be little enough in Juneau or Sitka, but in Phoenix, according to those who had to drop their work and walk half a block whenever they needed a drink. the ar engagement is little short of a crime.
 But those who are conversant with the involved thought pro- cesses of bureau heads found
  consolation yesterday in the fact that the order concerning the coolers is on d par with that famous one which decreed that the sidewalks in front of the postoffices should be thick enough to "go below the frost line,' which if carried out liter ally, would have given Phoenix the thickest sidewalks in the universe, the frost being about eight feet this side of the Hima- laya mountains, and that equal ly renowned one which says that there can be no wire waste bas- kets in the federal building be- cause of the danger of scratch ing the furniture. It was also remembered that last year it took the government four months to fix a break in the elevator. and that pamphlets on the salt water fishing industry are still being received at the chamber of commerce.

FAMILY OF
 FIVE WIPED 0UT BY
 TORRENT IN CANYON

An entire family is believed to have been wiped out when a ten foot wall of water swept down a box canyon just west of Frog Tank mountains a week ago yesterday, according to word brought to Phoel K yesterday by cattlemen who aided in the search for the missing persons. The family consisted of the father. mother and three children, the couriers said
 The family, in a spring wagon. was seen to enter the box canyon only an hour before the water wall arrived, they said. This information was brought to the ranch by a COW pun cher, who had passed the family at the canyons mouth. He was return ing to the ranch at the time, but thought nothing of the incident until the water wall swept down the can yon.
 The raging water filled the canyon to depth of at least 10 feet. witnes- ses said. It carried small trees and other derbis before it.
 The travellers could not have com |pleted the trip through the canyon be- fore the water arrived, cowmen said for the trail continued, a distance o1 many miles up the narrow ravine
 So searching party was organ ized. Walls of the canyon were SC steep. the searchers said. that escape up the sides would have been impos- sible. Every nook and place of shel- ter where the family might have sought refuge from the water was searched without finding any trace of the family, it is said.
 Search has continued since, tho couriers said, but no trace of the missing persons has been found Ever the horses and wagon have disap- peared from view. Two cowmen art to continue the. search indefinitely i was said.

WAR COST 1se BILLIONS

The cost of the world war has been the subject of much speculation. and considerable interest is being shown in the figures given by Ernest L. Be- eart in his recent publication War Costs and Their Financing" (Apple- ton's). The author is professor of ec- onomics in the University of Illinois and has been trade advisor to the de- partment of state at Washington and was associated with the war trade board during the war
 Professor Bogart's figures are bas- ed on the best available official fig ures and information. and it has been pointed out that the conversatism in his calculations give them particular value. The net expenditure for both the allies and Germany and her allies are found to be 1S6 billion dollars. Of the principal belligerents Great Bri- tain is shown to have spent most. Germany second, United States third and France fourth
 Professor Bog3rt compares the fig ures of the World War with those ob- tainable oR other previous wars. The direct monetary cost of the Napol- eonic wars is shown to be 3,07O mill ion do lars: the American Civil War ' billion dollars; the Franco Prus- sian war, 3,210 million dollars
