ARlzoNA's POPULATION.
(eontinued from page 4)

population of the state, is due largely to the fact that women marry younger than men. Thus 20.3 of the females and only 2 per cent of the males from fifteen to nineteen years of age are married; 64.5 per cent of the females, and 20.6 per cent of the males from twenty-four years; 82.5 per cent of the females and 519 per cent of the males from twenty-five to thir- ty-four years; and 83.2 per cent of the females and 665 per cent of the males thirty five to forty-four years of age. In the age group forty-five years and over the diff ference practically. disappears, the percentage married being 61.3 for females and 62.5 for males. That there is larger proportion of widows than widowers may indi- cate than men more often remarry than women, but since husba nds are generally older than their wives, the marriage relationship is in fact more often broken by death of the husband than by death of the wife.
 ''For the main elements of the population the percentages of mar ried persons among those fifteen years of age and over are as follows: Foreign born whites, 47.9 for males, and 62.8 for females; native whites of native percentage. 465 and 66.4 respectively; native whites of for eign or mixedparentage, 407 and 602; Indians 61,6 and 67 6 per cent, respectively.
 ."The percentages given indicate by no means the relative tendency of the several classes as regards marriage. To determine that the comparison should be made by age periods, since the proportion mar. ried in any class is determined large ly by the proportion who have reached the marrying age. Simi- larly the proportion widowed de- pends largely upon the proportion past middle life. The percentage married for females is higher in rural than in urban communities; for males the percentages are prac. tically the same.
 Dwellings and Families: The total number of dwellings in Ariz- Ona is 45,386, and the total num- Der of families is 47,927, there be- ing 105.6 families to each 100 dwellings. The average number of persons per dwelling is 4.5 and the average number per family is AS"

For Grace Trial

Mrs. Daisy Grace will face trial on
the charge of attempting to kill her
husband, Eugene. at their north side
home several months ago, in the Grim
inal division of superior court July 20.
The charges against her will be the
first to be taken up by Judge L. S.

opens that date.
Deputy sheriffs will be, busy serving
appearance papers on a number of At
lanta, New Orleans and Philadelphia
persons early next week. commanding
them to appear in court on the date of
the trial.
Attorneys for both defense and pros
ecution have compiled list Of people
to go on the witness stand, primarily
to testify to the character of both the
principal parties, and more than half a
hundred may tell of past relations be-
tween Grace and his wife before the
trial reaches its climax.
The preparations under way suggest
that there is hardly a possibility of the
postponement of the trial Both sides
have shown a desire to have the hear
ing on the date it is set for and very
probably when the case is begun 1t will
be carried to a finish before other work
