ARIZONA GOOD ROADS
 ASSOCIATION MAKES
 REPORT ID MEMBERS
Comprehensive and Complete Report Gotten Out by State Association Telling of Meeting at Tucson
 and Objects Accomplished.

The report of the Arizona Good Roads association, which is being mailed to members who were unable to be present. and to those not mem bers, but interested in the good roads movement, is full of encouragement for the well Wisher to that organfza- ton and it's aims.
 The bulletin is herewith given in full:
 Results with a big "R" is the rec ord of the Good Roads meeting at Tucson. The seven counties repre- sehted are richer for the knowledge and Friendships gained at the confer ence. The state is the gainer by the iSCrous resolutions and action which 'narIed the~progress of the session.
 That the state should appropriate not less than four hundred thousand dollars for roads each year was the sense of the meeting as expressed in .enc very vigorous resolution. An .other called upon the federal govern ment to fulfin it's duty in the con struction of roads across military and Indian reservations. The creation of a womans auxiliary to the associa tion was ordered. Give us more maps of roads and more signs of roads, were the instructions to the commit tee on these important subjects. At least two meetings a year were or Oered, one meeting to be held about the time of the holding of the annual tax conference and at the same place.
 The people of Pima county came out with a strong endorsement of the work of the association and it's aims and objects, and delegates from Eisbee, Douglas, Florence, Nogales, Yuma and other places put in strong bids for the next convention. AL ready the officials of the association arc busy planning for the next meet ing and the carrying out of the in-

ST. JOSEPHS SCHOOL FOR NURSES CLOSES
 SUCCESSFUL YEAR

The year just closed in the Train ing School for Nurses of St. Joseph $ Mercy Hospital of this city, was one of the most successful since the school was established. Although there were but two graduates, this does rot mean that there is not a large class in preparation nor that these two graduates have not been afforded the very best training pos sible. The senior class, as well as the juniors, have had every advan- tage it is possible to extend to young nurses in training. The physicians of Phoenix generally have lent every effort in their power to further the interest of the school and of the pu- pills collectively and individually.
 Miss Elizabeth Daly and Miss Dora Murr were the graduates this year. The graduation exercises were held at the Nurses Home, Polk and Fifth streets. a few nights ago and were well attended. The room was prettily decorated in the class colors, green and white The following program wsa carried out:

 To guard against any exigency, and to protect the stability of the institu- ton, it is provided by the Woodmen of the World that if death should occur during the first year after the issuing of the certificate, the beneficiary shall receive only one half of the amount of the policy. If death occurs during the second year of membership then three-fourthrs of the amount of the pol icy is paid and if death shall occur at any time during the third year after the issuance of the policy, or thereafter, then the policy is paid in full, this is considered by financiers and captains

from the members of this order, is ap proXimately 40 per cent in advance of what is the actual rate deemed nee essary for insurance protection. This of course, is made possible by reason of the low death rate now existing in the institution, together with the splen- did risks secured, and the low average age of membership. There was a time in the history of fraternal societies when an average age of from 40 to 47 years, and d death rate annually of from 10 to r per thousand, was con sidered q splendid accomplishment, but now the Woodmen of the World proud " boast 37 years as it's average age of members, and q death rate per thou sand of only TIA.

The woman in office must ex-
pect ridicule. Six months in the
city council of Los Angeles has
taught me that. Ridicule is one
thing that will not fail her. Ev-
erything else is problematical.
To guide her cropping feet is
neither map nor chart; but my
own experience gives ground for
the belief that her co-workers. If
they are such men as are my own
associates, will do their best for
her. When / speak of uncer-
tainties | refer to the public. But
there is nothing uncertain about
ridicule.
Let the woman in office do
what she will to correct evil, to
weed out Anticipated methods, let
her touch ever so lightly on new
points of view, let her lay her
practiced hand to the task of tidy
ing up municipal housekeeping
and making her city place of
rest and peace, let her initiate
legislation to control apparently
small adjustments that in the ag-
gregate cause so much torture to
the body social, and her ears are
offended by the sounds of gigan-
tic laughter.
To be sure, It comes from the
reactionaries, but it is echoed by
those who should be reproving the
levity.
Ridicule Is Certain
Ridicule, then, is the one thing
against which the woman In the
city government must be forever
on guard. II she is weak, she will
abandon her purposes for the
sake OF peace and comfort. 1t all
depends upon character.
The woman office holder must
bear In mind that a large part Of
the public still, in thought, un-
willing to admit that woman shall

been granted her. These people
