RED CROSS NOTES.
T~houghtless Women.

Our people as yet have not realized
the enormity Of this world war, and
what u pant means in it. So every
now and then we are fairly stunned
by reports and statistics which drift
in and open our eyes a little wider.
W. all know of women who are too
busy or too Indifferent, to help in the
making Of war bandages for the
wounded. But if these women knew
that the wounds are actually being
tied up with newspapers, for the
lack Of bandages, and that this is
likely to happen to their own boys
some day, they wouldn't be too busy
or too tired or too anything else to
make these much-needed bandages.
Women r seldom intentionally un-
Mind, but they too frequently are
thoughless.

Lessons of the War.

Some months ago l had occasion to
send q message to school officers urg-
ing them to increase materially the
time and attention devoted to instruc-
ton bearing directly on the problems
Of community and national life. I
called attention then to the fact that
this was not a plea for a temporary
enlargement OF the school programme
appropriate merely to the period Of
the war, but a plea for the realiza-
tion in public education Of the new
emphasis which the war has given
to the ideals of democracy and to
the broaded conceptions of national
life.
The National Red Cross devotes it.
self to the extension of u ideals
and the spirit of hu pity. Nowhere
can its cause be exd0Ud to better ad-
vantage than in the schools, and I
have already approved the widespread
plan which brings young people into
junior membership.
I am told that the articles from
The Red Cross Magazine, which in
spirit explain and extend these in
~terests, r being used as reading
lessons in thousands Of schools, and
that the coming numbers of the mag
azine will contain articles especially
designed for this patriotic purpose.
This plan is excellent, and .. look for
ward to a willing cooperation among
school officers to carry out the idea
to the fullest extent.

WESTERN-MADE BATTERY MEETS
 GREAT SUCCESS

"So rapid has been the expansion of our business" said MT. c. F. Moss. of the Hobbs Storage Battery Company, "that we have been forced to broaden out and take on many new distributors The Hobbs is a western made battery and is therefore delivered to western motorists in an absolutely fresh, un- deteriorated condition. As eastern de liveries and shipments become more and more uncertain, live, aggressive dealers are taking over the agencies of western products. This applies to batteries more than to almost any other product, as they must be deliv- cred fresh, without delays in shipment, in order to give 1004t service. As Arizona is at the very door of our Los Angeles factory it is cur intention to secure live distributors for our batter ies in all the principal cities and towns of the state, and we are offering these distributors very attractive proposi-

VANCE JOHNSON ANNOUNCES FOR
 BOARD MEMBER

Vance M Johnson, present chair man of the Cochise county board of supervisors, has announced his candi- dacy for the democratic nomination for supervisor. His card of announce ment appears in another column of this issue of the Review.
 Mir. Johnson comes before the peo pie of the county entirely on his rec ord, this being the first public office he has held. He has been for many years in business here and is highly thought of locally. The record is one which should recommend him to the voters of every part of the county for. while doing what he could ioc his home city and district as a member of the board, no part of the Coehise county has been too small to receive its due share of attention from him.
 Were we to catalogue a list Of achievements of the board of super visors during the time MT. Johnson has been in office, it would be well to call attention to the fact that the work mentioned lies in every part of the county, though the majority, of course, is near the large centers of population, Bisbee and Douglas. There have been bridges. roads and other public works built in many parts of the county. Mir. Johnson personally advocates the building of still other county roads connecting with the large cities of the county.
 One item of particular interest to the Warren district. credit for which is due in large measure to Mir. John son, is the sidewalk now being laid on Naco road to connect Bisbee with the populous suburb of Lowell. Hun dreds of people walk between the two towns every day and congestion of traffic in the street is complicated to a great degree by pedestrians. This situation will be relieved entirely with the completion of the walk, which al ready has been started.

TOMBSTONE TAME SAYS WHITE IN
 PHOENIX PAPER

Scott White, formerly sheriff of Co., chise county, now receiver at the local land office, can tell many interesting stories of his experiences as a sheriff in the days when Arizona was a chain of mining camps connected by stage coach lines, says the Arizona Repub- lican. A statement appearing i1 "2f Years Ago" recently, that Scott White, sheriff of Tombstone, had bought a bicycle, and now no guilty man could escape, brought back Vividly those by gone days.
 Tombstone was as nice, quiet a camp as l have ever seen," says the ex-sheriff, and the only trouble we ever had was with the bands of out laws. But we kept on until we had cleaned these gangs up. There was Billy Stiles gang for instance. Billy used to be a deputy sheriff under me, but that was too tame for him. He joined a band of outlaws and rob- bed a train and then took to the noun tains.
 We went out after him and caught part of his gang, and brought them back to Tombstone and put them in jail Afterwards we got Billy himself, and he told me while he was in jail about a little scheme he had fixed up. He said that he had planned 10 bring some men and come down to my house in the night and call me but. Then, when I came to the door, he was going to cover me with his gun and march me across the street to the jail and tell me to order the jailer to open the jail or they'd shoot me.
 When Billy told me that, l said, Well, Billy, it was a good scheme all right, and I'd have done it. Why didn't you come down and try it?'
 We'll said Billy, We would have, only some of the gang got cold feet
 Billy stiles afterwards got away from jail himself and went to Nevada and got to be deputy sheriff there. He was finally shot and killed in a gamh- ling game"

and grader are at work on it. Auto ists are advised to take the old road into Tombstone.
 The county engineers office has a force of men at work between here and Lowell getting ready to put Tn the curbing and sidewalks prior to the work to be done Dy Warren Broth CTS in widening the present pavement. It is expected that aboIt a month will see the work complete.
 The Douglas road is getting in very bad shape and will need some small repairs if travei continues over it. This may be avoided within the pres ent week as the Board of Supervisors are expected tomorrow to take some action in regard to the making of some repairs on the road from Low ell to the Central school house so that the travel from here can go that way and then take the Central High way into Douglas. This will have to be done on account of the work having been started on the grading O. the section of the road from Douglas to- ward Bisbee from Tombstone.
 There is a mighty bad spot fin the road to Fairbank on this side of the railroad bridge at Walnut Gulch.
 A road gang is working on the Ora goon to Tombstone road which is said to be in fine shape as far as they have worked it. They are at the old Syca- more spring ranch working this way, but have to repair some damage done near the Four ranch.

to know that the electric system of car which has been used for city driving, may need readWsIing to meet touring conditions. This IS particular ly true when you consider the effect of long drives on the storage battery. In city driving the starter may Dc used frequently. and the actual running time of the engine may be compar- atively limited. In touring the condi- tiOns are practically reversed and to meet them, certain adjustments can be made on the generator which re- places the current in the battery. Tine dealer who sold the car snOuld be con suited on this question.
 Unless adjusted to meet the changed conditions of touring, the generator will force more electricity into the battery than the battery is called upon to furnish to the starter. As a result the battery will be overhauled and may be seriously damaged.
 It is advisable for the touring mo- torist to feel of the battery ceil con nectors once in a while Ii they seem more than blood warm to the touch 1t is safe to assume that the battery is hotter than is good for it. A very simple remedy for this difficulty. how ever, is to burn all the lights while driving. even in the daytime, for the remainder of the day.
 The best way to prevent such a I.e- cessity, however, is to have your gen orator adjusted to touring conditions before you start, on the principle hat it is better to prevent an overloaded condition than to cure it after it has started
 In case of trouble with your electric system while touring. it is always ad- visable to stop at a Willard Service Station and have the battery exam ined. There are more than HOO of these service stations over the country and a list of them can be secured on to Mir. Wrigh., the local Willard representative at Lowell.

ROAD CONDITIONS
 ARE REPORTED
Road to Hereford Being I'm proved; Central Highway to be Used in Going to Douglas

The past week has seen considerable improvement in the road condition of Cochise county The road gang has been working on the Hereford road near its junction with the NacO road and have had the tractor and grader at work. The road is soft at present and needs a rain or two to put it in good shape. The gang at work on the Gleeson cutoff is doing good work and will soon have that road in fair shape until the heavy rains come.
 The road to Tombstone is in good shape The new part of the road is soft and will not be good travelling until rain or two falls on it. It can be used, But is not good as the old road fom the old camp. The drags
