NO ALIMONY NOW
WOMEN CAN VOTE
Texas Attorney Claims They Should
Have No Further Protection From
Deserving Men.

DALLAS. Texas, Oct 9.-Now that
women enjoy equal suffrage rights with
men no more than men should they be en-
titled to aIimony or to protection against
desertion and cruel treatment, it is con-
tended by Oscar Calvert, an attorney, in
a petition filed in the county court today
to test the Texas law against wife deser-
ton. The petition asks that charges OF
wife desertion made against II. w. Dur
ham be quashed on the ground that the
statute is discriminatory.

Women Drivers and Accidents.
(Keene Sentinel. J

In Rochester. n. Y, the safety coun-
Gil of the chamber of commerce. automo-
bile club officials and traffic policemen
are confronted with an old mystery
When the licensing of women drivers
came up in the general discussion of more
strict license rules, it was suggested that
women should be required to take out
special licenses on the ground that
women are not so good or careful driv-
ers as the men. But the traffic squad of
the police department came forward with
have fewer serious accidents than men,
According to police calculations the
proportion of women to men drivers is
about ! to Is. On that basis the men
have about 81 per cent of the serious ac-
cidents, the women only IS per cent
Here enters the mystery. The women
drivers really do dent more mudguards
and hit more posts and knock down more
iron traffic cops than the men, but some
how they keep out of the serious acct
dents.
Apparently women drivers are less
dangerous to human life than are the
men. while their inability to grasp truly
scientific driving is measured by the minor
property casualties which follow in their
path. 1t is possible that the fact that
men do most of the taxi, delivery and
truck driving adds to their accident list.
| Whatever the solution to the mystery,
the fact remains that in Rochester, at
| least. women drivers are safe for a time
from discriminating license regulations.

THRIFTY WEST

FIGURES compiled by the comptroller of the currency show that
three western states-Wyoming, Montana and ldaho-lead the
: country in the number Of bank dcpoitors. Wyoming tops the
list, with 1914 depoitors for every 1000 Of population. Montana is
second and Idaho third, with $40 and 300, respectively.
The thrift Of the west, however, is not confined to those states.
Following the leading trio is a group OF II states in which the west
is predominantly represented by Colorado, Oregon, Minnesota, Cali
fornia, South Dakota. Iowa and Texas. Maine, Vermont, Pennsyl-
vania and Virginia are the eastern states included in this tier.
Interesting as those figures would be at any time. they are espe,
cially 70 now, when the practice of economy is being Urged as the
solemn duty of every citizen and when all authorities, theorists and
men Of affairs alike, agree that thrift is indispensable TO a solution
Of the war economic aftermath
On the offciel returns il may fairly be claimed that the west is
rallying to the needs Of the hour with a spirit other sections might
well emulate. But it seems peculiarly incumbent in the honor class
to find out how neighboring states have increased the number of
bank depositors and apply that knowledge at home. What so many
western states have done all western states can do. New Mexico is
80 far down the list that she was not included in the telegraphic dis
patch sent out. Let's find out the reason fer being behind other
western states. ~

SURPRISING VOTE IN TEXAS

TORMER SENATOR BAILEY energies from the statewide pi
mary in Texas with the largest vote Of any Of the five candi-
dates for the office Of governor. He, however, failed TO receive
n majority of the votes cast and will have TO enter n "run-Of' with
Pat N. Nef Of Wgco, the latter part of August.
The remarkable thing about the primary is that Bailey was able
TO poll as large a vote as he did, taking into account the fact that he
ran on a platform espousing the 'open shop opposing the admin
istration of President Wilson, and vigorously denouncng prohibition
and woman suffrage. 1t is hard to estimate which of these phnks
won him the most votes. II may be that each contributed its share.
With the opposition split among four candidates and the labor vote
split between two men, it probably is not so surprising that Bailey
was able to lead the field. However, in the "run-of' with the com
bined opposition Of labor. woman suffragists, prohibitionists and the
Wilson administration II is hard to see how the rampant former sen.

Many requests for seats have been re- ceived from Mir. Cormican'S local friends and among them are several large block orders. While in town the other day Mir.
