MOTORCYCLES TO
 NUMBER THOUSAND
Eight Thousand Tags Or dered, But in View of Ger tain Improvement in Busi- ness Tone Auto Sales Win Swell the Total.
(By John c. Ingram)

There will be ten thousand automo- piles travelling about within the con- fines of the state of Arizona in the year 1916. That was the prediction made yesterday by Secretary of State Sid Osborn, who has been in charge of the work of licensing the motor vehicles for the past three years, and is thoroughly competent to speak on the subject.
 There were something over se~en thousand licenses issued in the state during the past year, and if the ratio of increase which has been the rule during the past years is again in evi- dence for 1916. MT. Osborn thinks there will be a good ten thousand tags distributed during the twelve month.
 The Maverick" Motor Car
 The work of licensing motor vehicles has been in charge of the office of the secretary of state since September 19. 1912. Prior to this date the matter had been left to the various municipal governments and owing to this fact there were a great number of ma chimes which altogether escaped pay ing the fees. In the old days each owner had to provide his own license tag, or could paint, chalk or write his number on his car. Consequently many motorists faked up . license tag, and the authorities had no particular way of finding out whether or not the driver had really paid his license fee.
 When in the latter part of the year 1912 the matter came under the super vision of the secretary of state, a uni form number tag was adopted and the supervision of the secretary of state, a uniform number tag was adopted, and the sheriff of each coun- ty was given the task of seeing that all machines in his bailiwick contained the necessary plate.
 From September 20 1912 to Decem- Der 31, 1913, there was a total of 35S3 licenses issued. Prior to this time there had been no accurate method of computing the actual number of li- censes issued and no statistics are available as to the exact number of power driven machines in the state. The total funds realized the first year under the new system was, including the fees paid in as chauffers' licenses, $20,933. During this time it was found

that all ..on-residents temporarily within this state who have complied with the laws and regulations of their state shall be exempt from register ing their machines and paying the Ar izOna license fee for a period of six months. Similar provisions are in force in nearly all of the states, eX- cept that the exemption varies from six months in Arizona to one month in some other states. From this it is seen that Arizona motorists do not get the consideration in other states as is received by residents of these states temporarily within Arizona For in stance a California license is good in Arizona for six months while an Ari zona license is good in California but for three. It seems that the six months exemption clause in the Arizona law should be repealed and a reciprocity provision enacted to take it's place. In other words. a license issued by an other state should be good in Arizona for the same length of time that an Arizona license is good in that state, and no longer.

PRESIDENT WILSON
CContinued from Page One)

by the editorials in the morning pa pers.
 In the view of the Daily News it is doubtful whether the Monroe doc urine will ever be tenable again, ex cept having shown that the United States can no longer rely on political isolation founded on geographical de- tachment, which las largely lost its meaning"
 The Daily News argues that it is only the British navy which today stands in effective defense of the Monroe doctrine and that if Ger many were victorious in this war the United States guarantees of the in dependence of the states of South America would not be worth the paper on which that doctrine is written
 Admitting that President Wilson's claim that the American policy of neutrality has been of enormous value to the world is justified and in it's operation had worked the in- Calculable advantage of the allies. the News refers to President Wilson's difficulty in dealing with the Ger man campaign owing to constitu- tional restrictions and says:
 President Wilson has the courage and executive genius for an emer- Sency and we do not doubt that his demand for power to deal with the situation will be readily granted"
 The Chronicle says:
 After America, seeing revelations of German machinations, which ap pear still far from complete. one would be surprised if the United States tol- erated the present condition of things much longer. It would be strange if the American people did not insist on it's government taking strong measures to restore security of life and property on American soil and in American ports"
 The Times regards the message as "by force of events, a war message from beginning to end" and says:
 The president has striven and is still striving hard with the full ap- probation of the masses of the people to cling fast to the notion that the United States can continue to live it's own life. uphold exalted ideas through out the world and promote their re- alization in the old world without abandoning the splendid isolation she has so long enjoyed. The hard reali- ties of the situation created by the war are beginning to show that the notion is no longer tenable with the firm assurance of even last year.
 "The sudden development of the Boy Ed-Von Papen controversy gives the message a dramatic fitness it would not have possessed without this serious complication and affords 8 striking instance of the growing per plexity and the interdependence of the relations between the old world and the new.
 Even more striking than the presi- dents denunciation of the German campaign is the new attitude he as

A LTHOUGH the baby girl disports

finest kind. Wee tucks and narrow
valenciennes laces, hand embroidery

TAKES NERVE TO THIN FRUIT
Practice Has Become Quite Popular
With Some Orchard sts-Expense
Of Time 10 Small Item.
(By w. II. M'CURDY.)


One of the most noted peach grow.
ers In this country tells how his neigh
bors wondered when they saw him
picking off the major portion of his
first peach crop.
They shook their heads and won.
dered at the absurd proceeding of the
man who had peculiar views about
peach growing. But that season when
his peaches proved bumper crop they
changed their minds. Since that time
the thinning Of peaches has been popu-
lar with the more progressive neigh
bors.
The thinning Of peaches or any
fruit must be conducted with judg-
ment. 1t Is not by any means advis-
able to thin every tree regardless of
how much fruit it carries. Some trees
set so little fruit that all can be
ripened without overtaxing the tree
or without producing understood fruit.
Some charge up the cost Of thinning
as an extra expense on the orchard.
But anyone who has gathered fruit
knows that fruit gathering Is a slow
task, especially with fruit that has to
be handled as carefully as does the
peach.
The picking of the small green
peaches at thinning time removes the
necessity of picking off many of these
same peaches later on.
When they are thinned they are sim.
ply pinched off and allowed to fall on
the ground, while later IL allowed to
ripen they must be put carefully in
baskets.
The expense of time in pinching off
a small fruit is only fraction of that
required in gathering the same peach
when it is ripe enough to market.
or course, there is an Offset in the
fact that some of the young peaches
would be switched of by the wind
later, but in the main IL may be stated
that no more labor is required to thin
peaches and gather the remainder
when ripe than to gather the harvest
that results without thinning.

At intervals of about four inches

edges buttonhole stitched. Through
these a sash of wide soft ribbon, in
light blue or pink, is threaded and tied

Leslie Stephen was once on a long
tramp in Switzerland, accompanied
by his friend, Doctor Morgan. They
missed their way and found them
selves, parched and hungry, far from
any dwelling place. At length they
came across a COW, from whom they
determined to extract some nourish-
ment, each holding on to her horns in
turn, they had to abandon all hopes
of milk. This. remarks Doctor Nor

on which I ever saw Stephen fairly
thwarted."
