The public health service is another
branch of the Treasury Department.
Its preventive work is one of the big
Sest safety movements in the country,
even though not one of the most spec
tacular. The quarantine stations which
ring us round with sanitary wall
against infection from abroad are part
of the service, and the children's bu-
reau, is another and newer offshoot
from the same stem, though it comes
under the Department of Labor instead
of the Treasury. The motto of the chill

The American Red Cross has reduced
the number of fatal accidents by pre-
venting a number of accidents from

various Industrial organizations, fire

as the Y. NJ. and Y. w. c. AS, it has
given a number of courses in first aid
to the injured. The latest move along
this line was a course for lumbermen.

Forest Service Work
Reduces Loss of Life.

any idea Of the menace and terror that
forest fire can be. There were over
$500 forest fires in the last fiscal year.
The work of the service reduced the
loss of life to minimum and the tim
Der damage to per cent of what it was
in 1910. The government fights fires
by means of lookout stations, special
guards in the dry season and high
ly efficient corps of trained fighters.
The most important work yet to be
done in this line is education of the
public in the causes and prevention of
fires. Almost three -fifths of all the
fires in 1914 were directly attributable
to human agencies-an increase of IL
per cent over the year before. This
means that the public is beginning to
realize that ii owns some of the finest
pleasure grounds In the world and is
f1ocking to them in greater numbers
every year. The more campers, the
more fires. The service finds it COM
paratively easy to instruct permanent
residents Of the reserves in safety
measures, but the irresponsible tran

1t sounds hards on the casual camper
but, no doubt. it is true. Before you
go camping. see what the service has
to advise in the line of safety first.
Fire prevention work along another
line was indicated by the exhibit Of the
bureau of standards The bureau esti-
mates that the use of fireproof mate
plants would decrease the annual prop
erty loss by 40 per cent and the loss of
life by an annual 20. The work of the

$50 CASES DISPOSED OF
IN SUPERIOR COURT

IN SUPERIOR COURT
Some idea OF the number Of cases
Ian. ed in the superior court Of Co
hise couJny, and disposed OF can be
gained from the fact that since the
first OF the year 1916, in the neighbor-
hood Of $50 cases, civil and criminal
AVE been disposed Of by Judge Lock.
wood up to the present date.
Of the 55o cases there are about $50
criminal cases, over 200 civil cases,
and in the neiehborhood of 100 pro
bate cases. which have been cleared
from the docket Considering the
size Of Cochise county. it can readily
ho seen from the above figures Just
how much business is handled each
year in the superior court, and when
the figures represent only about six
monthsbusiness an idea OF what bust
ness is transacted inside of a year
AN be gained. The criminal business
as the heaviest item. although the
'ivi and probate come in for their
hare. Judge Lockwood states that
j. is the endeavor Of the court to keep
with the calendar, and according
20 the manner in which cases have
been disposed of the court is succeed
ing in keeping the docket cleared to
a great extent. New cases are being
/ fled daily. however, and come in
about as fast as old cases are dis
Nosed of. However. according to
nudge Lockwood, there is not a case
- rhe calendar which has ben on six
months. in which the parties involved
~" not had chance to bring It to
trial.
At the calling OF the criminal calen-
far on the 18th, cases were set 70
about the middle of July, for the xxi
term Of court which begins on The
18th, and on July 1st., another al
ing Of the calendar is to be had when
County Attorney Ross will have his
list OF cases to be tried at this term
completed. There will be in oil
probability about 50 cases to be tried
at this term which will run the jury
term up until about September LIST.
There are about four muredr cases
among those to be tried. and a large
number Of liquor cases, besides sew
eral felony cases to be heard.
A very noticeable item which has
| been observed by Judge Lockwood is
the fact that since the prohib,tory
law went into effect there has been
a decided drop in the number Of min
or felonies, including grand larceny,
assault with deadly weapon. perjury,
etc, and there has also been a great
many less murders. In the first IS
months Of Judge Lockwood's incun,-
bency. there were over 80 murder
cases disposed of and the figures show
that since that time there have been
less killings than ever in the history
Il the county, and the diminishing
amount OF the more serious crime is
due, no doubt, to prohibition, stated
the Judge.
