WOMEN SHOULD
REMEMBER PASTEUR.

When Louis Pasteur, greatest of
scientist, was young man, the world
knew little more about the cause and
spread of disease than did the Greeks
centuries before Christ. Plaques could
still wipe out whole communities, and
the causes of infection were unsolved.
When he died in 1895, he left medicine
revolutionized.
His work in discovering the causes
Of hydrophobia and other contagious
diseases, in preparing preventive Sc
runs, in purifying milk by the pro-
cess now known as pasteurization-
all this is well known. But perhaps
his greatest achievement was to
stamp out the disease known as puer-
peral or childbed fever, which ravag-
ed the maternity wards of hospitals
as late as 1879

REP. CRISP MAKES
fine IMPRESSION

The ability of Representative Chas.
R. Crisp as a presiding officer, was
again demonstrated during last week.
The congressman from the Third dis
trict being designated by Speaker
Champ Clark to preside during the
passage Of several bills of great i'm
portance, one of which was the naval
appropriations bill, providing for a
naval expenditure of one and one-half
billion dollars, one of the largest ap-
preparation bills ever passed by Con-
gress.
Among other bills which Represent
alive Crisp presided over were: A
District of Columbia bill; two banking
and currency bills carrying an appro-
priation in all of ever three and one
half million, besides the naval appro-
priation.
Representative Crisp hurried the
House through these bills, and was re-
sponsible for the passage of about Is
bills in four days. Under the stress
of business now in the House, and in
view of the progress made by the
present Congress, the time consumed
in the passage of these bills was re-
markably short. The precision and
judgment which characterized the
period during which Congressman
Crisp presided was marked. He was
fair and impartial in his rulings, but
firm, and both Democrats and Re-
publicans are always pleased when he
is in the chair

teur declared the peur-peraI fever was
of bacterial origin, and was carried
by doctors and nurses. His colleague
retorted that he feared that this
strange microbe would never be found.
Thereupon Pasteur at once stepped to
the blackboard and, drawing what we
know as the streptococcus, said, This
it ISL And there it was indeed"
Pasteur demonstrated the cause of
puerperal fever and the way to abolish
It AS a result, the disease is hardly
heard of now.

Warren McArthur Tells of Possibility of Linking Up
 Scenic Marvels of Baby State by Fine Highways
(By Warren McArthurl

The war with every American must come first. War work and all it's ramif1cations is and should receive our first attention. The energy of the American people cannot be spared from this greatest of all wars adven- lures.
 Arizona with all its resources is do- ing her part-working to the fullest her resources developed. We cannot forget, however. that time is coming when this war will be a rugged back ground and vivid setting for peace with its rebuilding of things destroyed and a further development of the latent resources of the entire world The same energy that has been awakened Tn the American people will expand 10 even greater power in doing the tremendous peace" things ahead.
 And not least of all things for Ari- zona as a state to build is good high ways. Arizona-above all states-of- fers real scenic wonders to the tourist that now has the courage to weather the disappointments of poor highways and the hardships that may sometimes assail.
 A year before the war We were ready to launch plan to link in one circle of good road some of Arizona's wonder spots-and week ago it was my for tune to combine with business a tour of this Wonder Circuit" The roads as-we found them were not good-and in some places almost impossible

 "Considerab ble economies are being made by very extensive use of trail- CTS, particularly two -wheelers. Tt is general rule that when empty trucks have to be moved sohrt dis tances they shall not be run under their own power, but one truck shall tow two, three and sometimes four others.

 Items of Major Importance
 These two items of carburetion and ignition are what may be termed the major offensives in the campaign to se- cure fuel economy, there are still num- bers of machine gun nests to be cleaned up before you have reached perfection. There are many places in the fuel sys- tenn where leaks may develop and di- rect leak in the fuel line in a prodigious waster of gasoline. Moreover. a small leak is hard to detect and if the car owner has noticed a sudden increase in the amount of gasoline used this may be the cause. At any rate 1t is a wise precaution to go over the whole fuel system occasionally examining it for leaks. Also the fuel system with it's filters and screens needs a periodic cleaning out. It will be remarkable how much better the engine runs after the fuel line has been cleaned out to give an unobstructed flow to the gaso- line After this the muffler will prob ably be the better for little attention. A clogged muffler consumes power that ought to be employed in driving the car.
 Another fruitful source of fuel waste is carbon in the cylinders. A carbon ized engine uses much more fuel than a clean one. Scrape the cylinders as one of the first skirmishes in the fuel reduction campaign. In some instances

Enormous Task Set for Our
 Uncle Sam In Classify
 ing Machines Are a dv In Service In America

An idea of the enormous task before Uncle Sam when he starts to classify automobiles can be had from figures gathered from the various secretaries of state of the union, which show 5.461.791 motor cars. including trucks. registered on June 1, 1918. For the first five months of this year 15 per cent more cars were licensed than during the whole of 1917, an increase of 650,S74.
 The cars registered June 1. together with the limited number now being manufactured and the secondhand cars that will be reclaimed from the junk heap and put in running order. will represent Americas total next year and probably for the duration of the war The trend of war times has decreed that the manufacture of pas senger automobiles must gradually diminish
 Here are the registration figures for this year and last and the percentage of increase in each state.A

WOOLLY SHEEP RIDE
 ID MARKET IN GAR

To get the produce and stock to the market in the least possible time and at minimum of expense is one of the problems of the modern farmer of to- day. In this instance. F. w. Latimer of Peoria attracted no little attention on the streets of Phoenix the other day when he drove his Oldsmobile eight through the main thoroughfares of the city with five perfectly good. full grown woolly sheep in large crate strapped to the running board of his car.
 As for the sheep, they were not the least concerned, in fact from all ap- pearances they were enjoying their joy ride on their war time shepherd Rough roads and hills held no horrors for them nor for their sturdy Olds with it's cargo.
 According to Latimer, this mode of transporting his stock is by this time comparatively old to him. On many occasions he has brought loads of sheer to town in this Oldsmobile touring car in numbers varying from three to Il head. Then at another time, says Lati- mer. the car is dusted up and is again the family servant

GASOLINE SAVING |S
 PRACT|CEDAT AT FRONT

While the French army is not hampered by shortage of gasoline it is economizing in many ways writes W. F. Bradley of Paris, to R. D. Chapin, chairman of the Highways Transport Committee of the Council of National Defense.
 We have comparatively little gas" he says, and the shortage is going to be so acute even after the war that we shall have to take up the question of production of benzol and alcohol on very big scale as soon as possible.
 Since early 1915 we have been hav- ing driveaways on big scale from the Channel and Atlantic ports to Paris and from Paris to the front; also from the Italian factories to the French front. The park at Lyons receives trucks from the local and Italian fac tories. When truck trains are being

Here's a suaaestion fresh fror

Here's a suggestion fresh from the war to make traffic regulation simpler. Instead of giving motor trucks number plates, the idea is to mark them with some special figure, such as a rabbit, whale, a dog or what not. This picture sys- tenn, we are told by Herbert S. Stone, recently returned from the war zone as divisional manager for the Y. M. c. A., is used with suc- cess in registering the motor trucks in the trains in France.
 Each "camion" has a picture as- signed to it, painted on both sides and the taiIboard. Persons who can't well read number plate that runs into six figures, and sometimes obscured with dust. anyway, can readily enough make out figure painted on the vehicle. That's the underlying idea.

cred no booze on the American side,
so in the end, the state officers turned
the evidence over to the authorities of
this province. Here Parmenter had

Provincial laws. His last "settle-
