Al Present There Are Few Horse Car
Lines TO Be Found IN the
United States.

Horse cars still are operated in al
least two. American cities, New York
and Middletown, Ohio, according to
the Popular Science Monthly. Tiny,
low, short, and mounted on a single
truck, these cars we're built to haul
about twenty persons. Today they
often are crowded with two to three
times that number and the horses
are sorely pressed to draw the load.
When the Middletown horse car
line went into bankruptcy several
years ago a junk dealer bought it
for $500. His profits have been more
than 300 per cent a year, and if he
were to. pull up his tracks and sell
them and his equipment, he could
realize many times his original in
vestment.
Recently an order has been given
by the public service commission Of
New York that the horse cars must
go. The reason for the demise of
those municipal curios is that the
picturesque equipment of 1860 cam
not meet the traffic demands of the
1916 public.

NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY, TUS0N WOMEN ARE
 USERS OF TOBACCO
Tucson Tobacco Dealers De- clare Trade with Women Has Increased Very Mater iallv During 1915.

TUSCON, Dec. 31-That Tuscon women have spent more than S5,O0O during the past year on cigarettes is the assertion of local tobacco dealers, who have been experiencing an in- creasing demand for their product among the fair. sex of Tucson. And the dealers are asking themselves if the slim white lady, all tipped with gold has not definitely supplanted the bon-bon as boudoir accessory and necessity.
 According to reports from dealers, the supply of perfumed cigarettes in the smaller sizes for the use of wo- men proved inadequate tothe demand, and most of the stores had sold their entire stock of these goods before Christmas. is stated, however. that the women smokers do not confine themselves to the milder brands of perfumed product put out for fem mine usage, but that many of them dmand the man size" cigarette of the strongest brand of tobacco.

CURIOUS RELIC IS
 FOUND IN LONELY
 PROSPECT WORKING
Archaeologial Curio Displayed Last Evening in English Kitchen-Cuesses Made As to Its Origin and Status.

An archaeological relic, upon which many envious eyes were cast, reposed last evening in the display window of the English Kitchen. The curio, ac- cording to William Truax, Jr., was given to him by man who found it in part of the city. On account of it's value the owner transferred the ob- ject to place of safety and, in all probability. it will not be displayed a. gain for some time.
 The curio is cylindrical in shape, narrowing in bottle-like form at one md. In color it is amber, and perfect y clear. Reposing among the edibles, destined for New Years diners out, it gave the window a most attractive ap- pearance
 Upon close examination it was found that. at one time, there had been some kind of label upon it. The coloring and wording of the paper suggested that it may have been buried in the latter part of 1915. though no date, of any value, was found on the object. It is said by several, who examined the curio, that such objects were plen- tiful some years ago in Arizona but during the last year few have been seen in the state.
 The owner of the relic was proud of his acquisition and invited many of his friends to examine it. He put it in his front window in order that the general public could gaze upon it-but he would neither sell nor give-for the relic was quart bottle of Budweiser

 In this section of California the cit rus crops ripen from five to six weeks earlier than in Southern California This is due primarily to the absence of fogs and other favorable climatic conditions. II is said of the section that there has not been killing frost there in thirty-five years. or since the weather bureau has been established
 Harris and Crane have a beautiful exhibit of the products of the section. fine maps, motion pictures of the land and the fruit and other data which the respective home buyers would appre- ciate. It is the plan of the firm to give exhibitions in every part of the city with their apparatus.
