WOMAN NEAR DEATH. AS HER MOTOR CAR IS. q RUCk BY TRAIN.

sI saw the train coming and thought it meant instant deatf but there was nothing for me to do except hold the steering wheel and scream
 Mrs. F. M. Corcorran of 323 North Second street was describing the thought that flashed through her mind as she sat in stalled motor car on the track of the Santa Fe while the California train was rush. ing down upon her to certain colii- sion
 That she was alive to tell of it was the result of freak of circumstance so unusual that persons who viewed the wrecked car and went over the details of tine accident wonder how she escaped with her life.
 The collision took place at the Santa Fe crossing at Nineteenth avenue and Washington street about 6:S0 o'clock last night.
 Following the accident Mrs Cor corran was taken. to her home where it was found her injuries were pain full but not of a permanent nature She sustained severe bruises on the limbs and arms and suffered from nervous shock. The small roadster she was driving escaped with a broken windshield, smashed lenders, torn top and other minor damage.
 Mrs. Corcorran had driven the ,nt wheels of her roadster on the track before she saw the rapidly approach ing train. It was then almost upon her and she applied the brakes with all her strength, bringing the ear to standstill, but with no time to re- verse.
 The train struck the front end of the small car and knocked the lop | down. throwing Mrs Corcorran over
 the back of the car into the roadway
 The roadster was thrown half around
 and. with engine still running. the car made three complete circles in the l roadway before it was brought to a l standstill. It finally came to a stop after breaking into a fence at 1908 West Washington street. I neither saw nor heard the train
 until I was on the track said Mrs l Corcorran last night. As I sat in
 that car with the train rushing down on me felt that I was trapped in that
 seat and that there was no escape from death. I certainly am thankful 1 that the top was knocked down and permitted me to be thrown out of the car.''

FEAR LABOR LACK F MEX|CANS DEPORTED

Claiming that if the Mexicans are Geported there will be shortage of labor in the valley before the next crop is harvested. members of the Arizona Cotton Growers association are questioning the advisability of returning the laborers to Mexico This matter was considered at a recent meeting of the board of directors and will be taken up for rurther discus sion at meeting scheduled to be held shortly.
 The association recognizes the pop ular demand for the deportation of the Nexicans, but at the same time feels that enough labor should re- main to take care of the cotton ard other crops. There Is more than 15.o0o acres of cotton in this valley alone and those who are left are not sufficient in number to take care of this cotton. it is said.
 At the directors meeting the ex- pense of deportation was empha sized IL was pointed out that S73.000 had been spent in deporting labor, al- though the Mexicans in the majority of cases were sent across the border in trucks.

ADDED NOTE AFTER ASKING AN OPINION

Secretay Of State Hall stated yes terday that there was a misappre- hension. as appeared from a story setting out the opinion of Attorney General Galbraith with relation to the controversy between the secretary and the attorney general concerning the referendum which had been filed against house b.il S3.
 It appeared to be the belief of the attorney general that the secretary had caused a footnote to be added to a printed page of the journal of the legislature calling attention to the filing of the referendum and saying that unless directed by the court, he would set in motion the machinery for the special election which had been called by the legislature, this footnote having been added before the letter of inquiry was addressed to the attorney general asking for his opinion.
 Mir Hall said that the footnote was not added until several days after the letter was addressed to the attorney general and that. the letter imme- diately followed the filing of the last of the referendum petitions.

PORTLAND, Ore.-Informed that Harold Schoyen, her husband -to-be had been killed in a railroad acci- dent in a logging camp, Mrs. Martha Moeller of Canby, Ore, rushed to St. Helens, Ore, to be chief mourner at his funeral.
 She telephoned to secure infor- nation. As she left the booth her sweetheart greeted her.

SECRET TO SUCCESS
What Some Noted Men Have TO- Say

Give me the young man with $50

II have seen many instances where!
young men who started life with
practically nothing. through saving,
and economy, accumulated enough to-
make them comfortable in their old
age, but never have seen anyone.

and who spent all his income who Is
not q charge upon his friends or the

on the bench convinces me that most
criminals become such because In
their early life they did not acquire the
habit Of saving"-Wm. ]. Mills.
"Thc saving of money usually
means the saving of man. 1t means
cutting off indulgences or avoiding
vicious habits. The little differences
between what you earn and what you
spend is power. 1t often measures the
distances between success and fail
ure."-O. S. Marden.
"If a man is naturally saving, he'll
get along. Those who need plain
talk about saving money are the
good fellows, the good livers. and good
spenders. Thrift will some day save.

"We are creatures of habit. We
succeed or we fail as we acquire good
habits or bad ones, and we acquire
good habits as easily as bad ones. Most
people don't believe this. Only those
who find out succeed in life."-Her-
bert Spencer.
Careful saving and careful spend

ments OF success, yet most wretchedly
disregarded. The five or ten cents
