The Arizona council of defense has endorsed the measure and in endeavoring to secure its pass age. Other means of calling to the attention of congress tho urgency of such a measure have been adopted. Senator A- B. Fall's amendment to the Senate Army bill provides for the recruiting of not less than three regi ments of mounted volunteers ranging in age from eighteen to forty-five years. The pay will be not less than $30 per month. The forces shall be used for border duty and for the pro tection of property and tho citizens of the border states and for service in foreign countries under the direction of the president. The Arizona, Texas and California senators in Washington all have voted in favor of this bill. The mayors and prominent citizens of the state of Arizona and of the various southwest ern states also have endorsed the measure and have wired their en dorsements to Senator Fall and others in Washington. Mr. Hogan also stated that an out line of the mpthod by which military registration is to be carried out under the selective conscription bill was made public at the meeting of the de fense board and that an appeal had been made from the war department for the voluntary services of state election and other officials in order that there may bo no delay in enroll ing and classifying millions of men for army duty. Careful preparation has been made to place the whole task in tho hands of civilian officials of the states and to remove every suggestion of military force in putting, the meas-i ure into effect. Tho only functionof the federal government will be super vision through the office of the pro vost marshal general. The department statement follows: "There was a time in the country's history when military enumerators, backed by bayonets, went out among the people to take a compulsory -service census. Today under tho principle of universal liability to service the execution of the law is put in tho hands of tho people. Governor Chief in State "The approval of the new national army bill and the president's procla mation thereunder will be coincident. All persons with in the ago limits pre scribed will be required to present themselves for registration at the customary voting places in the pre cinct in which they have their per manent homes, on a day which the president will announce. The prob ability is that from ten to fifteen days will elapse between approval of the bill and registration day. "The governor of each state will be the chief of registration therein. The machinery of registration in each county is to be in charge of the sher iff, the county clerk and the county physician acting ex-officio, unless a different board shall be announced by the governor. In cities containing populations of more than 30,000 the registration will be under the control of the maj'or and selected boards of registration. In order that the des ignated county and city officials, and the people generally can get a clear understanding of the census methods the following brief outline is given: "The sheriffs or other consignated officials, immediately upon receiving notice from the governor, shall ap point registrars for each voting pre cinct. According to the Mohave Miner, Engineer J. B. Girard, who has been in New York conferring with his prin cipals regarding plans for the great power dam to be constructed at the mouth of Diamond creek on the Colo rado river, will return to Arizona about May 1st and begin a survey for a new road to tho canyon, preparatory to the immediate construction of the dam and plant for the extraction' of nitrogen from the air. CADILLAC IS QUICK TO ACT Manager of Flagstaff Agency Tells of Device Made By Engineers How the Cadillac car responds quickly to the throttle is told by H. Jackson, manager of the Jackson Parker Motor Co. Telling of a device produced by Cadillac engineers, Mr. Jackson said: "If, when you step suddenly and hard on your foot throttle and the speed of the car does not instantly increase, it may mean that your car buretor cannot suddIv at once cnouch , gasoline to compensate the inrush of extra air to the motor. This is a fault more or less common to car buretors; and the way in which Cad illac engineers have overcome it is highly engenious. "When the throttle is opened quick ly the tendency is for the mixture to , become lean, for the reason that the gasoline, because of its greater .dens ity, is not drawn into the mixing chamber as easily and as rapidly as the air. The disproportion of gasoline and air is seldom of more than mo mentary duration, but even that is sufficient to cause a skip 6r two or a choking of the motor and keep it from developing the power needed for rapid acceleration. "The device evolved by the Cadil lac engineers is a skillful application ,of tho plunger pump principle. In this case, however, the action Is con fined to only one stroke of the plung er. When the throttle is suddenly opened the plunger automatically ac celatcs the supply of gasoline through the spray nozzle, thereby providing a correct explosive mixture for quick acceleration, and the getaway is instantaneous." ffilsHf Fair List Prices IPPi&jfolrnlin8 Fair Treatment Common Sense Luxury fir rora r kwrnwrnwUmFAmmr-KiT'' mKv'i'l'lmmmvZamfTxyJr2&mwr r WJ 0 mm m Zirmrn ' UV1 til li rrcT i II W jm I It 1 0 LITTLE 0 X&'lO-' H U MORE 0 ifflW vV I mm M ' .WWWWWWWWWWH MUMk V . aUHHittmX TO WWH li i jwwwwwkiWw.v: w"mrnmmw b a . 0 v I mmmmW!m) JCxM UM LmlmmmWW MLW m. .
