devices tend to become Overheated whereupon they are
likely to set fire to anything combustble with which they

Most of these fires SMALL but the aggregate loss is
large and occasional instances show extensive damage

of Ex-Governor Draper; this traced to electric
plate warmer in the buffers pantry.
Fires of this class furnish special peril to fe being
most frequent in dwellings and often breaking out at

MEASURE LOSES IN
NEW MEXICO SENATE

SANTA FEE, NM, March IA bill
empowering women to vote on consti-
tutional amendments in Mexico was
defeated in the senate tonight by a
vote of IA to 9. The house discussed
but failed to reach a vote upon the
suffrage amendment to the state con-
stitution introduced in that branch.
The senate recently failed to pass a
resolution to submit such an amend
ment to the people through a consti-
tutional limitation and a point of or
der.
In the course of the debate in the
house, Representative Dills of Chaves
county, who is 80 years old, said he
would vote for suffrage because it was
in the party platform, but that he was
against uplifting women" by letting
them mix with a lot of dirty politi.
Clans"
There never was a time when the
women really did not do the voting"
he declared, "since Eve made Adam
eat the apple"
