their crossing 10 the American side
and accepting employment as labor

canard that has been given consid-

between the ages Of IS and Is into
the army. while all Mexican women

taken 20 France. where they will

their utmost efforts 10 set the Mexi-
cans right by assuring them that
none but American citizens will be
subject 70 the selective draft, while,
as for women, there is absolutely no
foundation for the report that they
will be conscripted and used as

are any number Of women already

GREAT WRITERS NEAR DUEL
Tolstoy and Turgenev in Fierce Dis
pute That Might Have Led to
Deadly Encounter.

Tolstoy and Turgenev, famous Rus
sian novelists, were contemporaries
and friends, but on one occasion they
had serious falling out. AS gathered
from a recent biography, tlis is the
story of their quarrel: The two ia
mouse novelists met at friends house.
Turgenev spoke enthusiastically of
his young daughters new English gov
erness, mentioning that she required
the child to mend old, ragged clothes
to give to the poor. do you consider
that good" demanded Tolstoy. II GER

what am convinced is true?" retorted
Tolstoy. eff you say that again will

with rage, and rushed from the room.
A duel was narrowly averted. After

EXPLAINS POISONING bY FOOD
Science Has Discarded Theory, Long
Held, That Ptomaines Are the
Cause of Infection.

Poisoning by food is no longer ex-
planned as ''ptomaine poisoning" but
in an address to the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Science,
DR.. E. o. Jordan showed that 1t is due
either to true bacterial toxins compare
bic to those of diphtheria and tetanus
bacilli, or to infection with specific in
lection carried by the food article. The
best known example of the toxin-fOrm-
ing microbes is the bacillus botulinus,
which has produced in the United
States % recorded cases of poisoning.
of which II were in California, while
Great Britain has reported no cass.
This type of poisoning Is rare but in
lection with food-borne disease bac-
Of cases. The bacteria are either pres
ent in .ne food itself, or the food is
contaminated from human sources.
The chief food-borne infections hith-
erto traced to human contamination
are typhoid fever and the various
paratyphoid infections; but to these
must be added certain infections rare
ly transmitted by any food except
milk, such as diphtheria, scarlet fever,
and streptococcus sore throat. The
type of infection from food contain
mated at its source is exemplified In
the diseases of certain food animals
The chief infections known to be due
to food infected at it's source are those
mainly meat-borne-caused by -
group of paratyphoid> enterftfdis bac-
terra, and those resulting from the use
of infected milk. The bacterial dis
eases of plants do not infect man.

TIRE SITUATION
 TO ADJUST SELF
 UNDER OLD LAW

What is the outlook for the tire situation for the coming year and how will it be effected by an embargo which the government may place upon the importation of rubber?
 This is a question which has re- gently been bothering motorists and those interested in automobile affairs and yet there is no particular cause for any undue excitement about it according to c. R. Hughes of smith Hughes company, distributors for Ra- cine country road and the Racine Multi mile cord tires, and q man in close touch with tire affairs.
 The tire situation will automatically adjust itself according to the law of supply and demand, says MT. Hughes, and while it is true that the price of tires may advance some because of governmental embargo on importa- ton of rubber, still there should be no shortage.
 There are several reasons-an sim pie. The great spirit of economy and conservation that is taking hold of our people is going to make everyone more careful in the use of tires. There will be much less joy riding and consequently less driving for pure pleasure, and then the millions of our young men who have left and are leaving for the front is bound to curtail the use of automobiles so that the smaller supply of tires will be offset by a subsequent, similar demand
Arizona republican., 1918-05-19

gress has been made with respect to each one of these essentials.
 The materials which enter into the construction of plain-tread tires are rubber compromising ingredients and cotton fabrics. The rubber.-especially plantation rubber,-is coming on the market in a much more uniform con- dition which makes it possible for manufacturers to turn out q tire of more uniform quality.
 New and Better Goods
 With respect to compromising in- gredients, a number of new and bet ter materials have been discovered Cotton fabric is also greatly superior to that which was used in 1910, be- cause better constructions of the fabric have been developed to suit the special needs of tires. In addi- ton, these fabrics are now built ac- cording to very carefully drawn speci- i fications, which are very restricted and insure uniformly high-gradt material.
 The preliminary treatment of ma ! terials has been improved through the 1 introduction of superior methods O. l drying and mixing crude rubber ant ] through the development of new methods Of storing. drying and rub ! bcr- coating the cotton fabric. The processes of assembling tht 1 different parts of the article and o vulcanizing the tires, have been s' greatly improved since 1910, that tn 1 progress made might be consldereC revolutionary Further, labor savini
 machinery and appliances have great ly aided in bringing down the pric' | of tires.

CARE OF STORAGE BATTERY

MT. Jones of the Arizona Battery and Ignition company, contributes the following advice on the care of Vesa battery.
 A storage battery contains about a quart of liquid, of which about three- fourths is water.
 As the water evaporates, the so- Iution becomes stronger, which, is harmful, as is also the lowering of the level. Evaporation in hot weather is rapid. Atmospheric conditions are not alone responsi- bie for this.
 OYercharging the battery is com mon in summer, because days are long and daylight pleasure tours are frequent. Therefore, your cleo tric system is charging almost con- tinuously, while the demand for current either for starting or light ing is small.
 This is really putting more heat into your battery than you take out--for electricity is heat, so add distilled water.
 At least once a week, in hot weather. look after the needs of your battery. You will find it needs water. This will be indicated by the lowered level, which should be over the top of the plates. A specific gravity reading (shown by hydrometer) of over 12S0 degrees is another indication. On long tours, your system is putting considerable current into l the battery. So much. that at times the battery gets warm.
 It is a practice of some motor- men to relieve this stuffed condi- ton by using the lights, even in { day time. The Nesta battery, by it's three big patented improve ments, indestructible insulators. impregnated mats, and the use if titanium is extra fortified against the strain of hot weather condi- ! tions.

CU[T|VATOR LIKE PLAY HANDLES 8O
 ACRES IF COTTON

L. Ii. North, one of Mesa's promin- ent farmers. in conversation with c. II. Pratt of Pratt-Gilbert company, of whom he purchased an Avery two row motor cultivator in the spring, stated:
 T have eighty acres of cotton planted this season and this culti- vator handles the cultivating like a plaything. The other day while we were in a rush to get our hay in the 1 stack, and was using our big stacker, the team pulling up the load and backing for the next, l happened to think of the Avery, standing in the adjacent field, had one of the men bring it over and putSit in the place of the team. You know, that motor cultivator acted just like it was made for the job, and We got five times as much work done as we did with the team. No trick at all to run it ahead with the load and back up for the next one"
