Trapped in the front seat of an
overturned Ford car in four feet of
water in the Joint Head canal. five
miles southeast of Phoenix, the bod
les Of Mrs Mary Minsch, wife of j.
Minsch. rancher, and OF Miss Hattie
Minsch, her niece. were discovered at
o'clock yesterday morning. Death
had been caused by drowning.
A rut in the Joint Head canal road
is believed to have been the cause
OF the fatal accident, tracks of the
car which they had been driving lead
ing from this deep rut off the road
way down a seven foot cmbankment
into the canal. These tracks tell the
story Of the tragedy, there being no
eyewitnesses to the depforable acci-
dent.
1t is believed that the accident took
place about 1O:S0 o'clock Sunday
night. Mrs. Minsch and her niece had
been visiting with Mr.. and Mrs. J. r.
Mcdonald. neighbors, for a few hours
that evening. They left about 1915
for their home.
Found Next Mornina
The accident took place near the
Mcdonald home. about a quarter OF
mile east on the canal road from
its point OF intersection with the
-Four mile road and the Joint Head
canal. When Mrs. Minsch and her
niece failed to return home an in
vestigation was started early yes
terday morning which led to the dis
covery Of the overturned car and the
bodies of the two women.
Wilbur Minsch. son Of Mrs. j..
Minsch, was first to discover the
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Mcdonald the bod
les We're removed from the water
Death came TO Mrs. Mary Minsch
on the eve of her 18th birthday. Miss
Hattie Minsch, her niece. had been
making her home at the Minsch
ranch, one mile east and half a mile
south of Acre City, since the death
Of her parents. She was "a years OF
age and was an. employe at the
National Bank Of Arizona.
Besides her husband and son Will
bur. Mrs. Minsch is survived by three
other Children Oryille, Evelyn and J..

The bodies Of the two women were
removed to the Merryman undertake
ing parlors. Funeral arrangements
will be made when word is received
from relatives outside the state.
Coroner Henry j. Sullivan was
called TO the scene of the accident
and after an investigation decided
that an inquest would not be neces-
sary.
Miss Minsch Driving
Miss Hattie Minsch was driving the
Ford car when it left the Mcdonald
home on Sunday evening. 1t was
apparent from the marks left by the
wheels of the machine that when the
car swerved after striking the chuck
hole Miss Minsch was unable to swing
it. back into the roadway and it
plunged down the bank and into the
canal.
When found the car was almost
covered with water. the top of the
car being smashed. The only body
to show any marks of the accident
Was that of Miss Minsch. which had

SPEEDING CAUSES
MOST ACCIDENTS
Driver Is Apt to Take Chances
On a Good Highway
Stretch.

A vast majority of the disasters
that overtake m otorists are
brought upon themselves by their
own recklessness and 30 per cent of
them are due to speeding. These
facts and other Just as interesting
disclosures on automobile catas-
trophies have been brought to light
within the week. as the result Of a
thres-months' study of accidents
occurring on Maryland roads. More
over. It is pointed out In a recent
issue of Public Roads" published
by the Bureau of Public Roads,
United States Department of Agri-
culture, the largest number of ac-
cidents occur at those spots which
are generally considered safe, thus
indicating that the driver is apt to
take chances when he has a good
stretch of roadway before him.
"One of the interesting develop
ments of the investigation" the
journal states, "is that the largest
number of accidents have occurred
at the places that have always been
considered safe. while the sections
which have been commonly regard
ed as being extremely dangerous
are proving to be relatively free
from accidents" As an illustration
of this fact mention Is made of that
specific point where the State high
way crosses the Blue Ridge Noun
tains in the western part of the
State and where grades are steep
and curves sharp. At that spot the
report shows there were but eight
accidents during three months.
On the other hand. on the Ma
tional Pike, between Baltimore and
Frederick, where there are forty
eighc miles of the straightest road
in the State, the record reveals for
the same period sixteen accidents.
three of which were fatal. And
yet" states the publication, few
stretches of highway in the whole
road systemsare so free of any fea
lures which might be considered as
dangerous" On the Baltimore
road, with all apparent danger
spots removed, the record shows
one accident for every four miles of
road during the three months Pc
road.
There seems to be only one an
swer to account for these hitherto
unsuspected conditions" the article
says. Even the less careful mot
orists drive cautiously in the pres
ence of recognized dangers. such as
steep grades, sharp curves, grade
crossings. etc. while the absence of
such dangerous features gives the
driver a sense of security which
prompts him to take a chance and
yield to the well-niGh universal
passion for speed" Few accidents
were due. 1t was found. to the con-
dition Of the roads themselves; aud
most of those were due to slippery
surfaces which were caused by
rains.

English Expert
To Give Results
OF His Research

Harry r. Ricardo, one of the fore
most British automotive engineers.
is visiting this country as the result
of an invitation from the Society of
Automotive Engineers to present to
the American automobile engineers
at their annual meeting the results
Of recent automobile research de-
velopment in England. The re-
search work which Ricardo will
make public at this meeting has
never before been published, this
being the result Of Investigations
carried on intensively by Ricardo
during the last nine months.
The success Of many OF the Brit

AUTO PRODUCTION
CUT BY STANDARD
OF 5. A. E., CLAIMED
Says $7sO,OoO,OOO Was
Saved Through Practice
OF Standardization.

A large majority Of engineers in
the automobile industry have ap-
preciated for years the basic neces-
sity Of automobile engineering stand-
ardization. There has been. how
ever. some lack of understanding of
the extent and magnitude of the
money saving effected by the stand
ardixation and of the clear need for
extending the work in scope and
intensity.
The actual work of the American
automobile standards movement was
started by the engineering section
of the automobile industry prior to
1910. Only the engineers could ini-
tiate such work in a concrete con-
structive way, and their continued
support, based on strong convfc-
tions, was essential to the success
of the movement 1t Is obvious. as
IL has been all along. that the full
force and advantage of attainable
simplihcation and economy in the
methods Of design, production ana
use of automotive apparatus are not
securable without the whole-hearted
attention and cooperation of the
executives of the industry.
The work has now reached a
stage where a unified movement all
along the line, in which the Nation
al Automobile Chamber of Com
merce and the Motor and Accessory
Manufacturers Association will take
a more active part than heretofore,
is in prospect. All sound work
must be based upon proper test over
a sufficiently long period. Pioneer
ing is a thing apart and its fruits
must stand on their merits for in
evitable though delayed recognition.
The success that has been attained
by s. A. Z. Standardization would
have been impossible without con-
slant and ever-increasing co-opera-
ton of a remarkably loyal nature
from the industry in general.
Co-operatien Needed.
The procedure Of the society is
based on the patent fact that the
engineers alone cannot, even by ex-
traordinary effort, bring about the
adequate and widespread standard
ization in actual practice, for the
simple reason that the concurrent
willing and hearty support Of the
executives of the industry is requi-
site. ThiS applies not only to the
use of present 8. A. z. standards,
but to a still greater degree to op-
tanning further measure of stand
ardization in every practicable di-
rection. The full benefits of stand
ardization cannot be - in the face
OF executive opposition. Neither
can they be had from the listless
acquiescense of any Important sec
tion Of the industry. The matter Is
primarialy one Of all pulling to-
gether. The stake is a big one.
The profits from Standardization
begin with the first operation Of
fabrication of material or part, and
Increase in amount through the va
rious. stages of trade and commerce,
until the user Of automotive appa-
ratus Is reached. He reaps the
greatest benefit of all. Resistance
of all kinds to the sale, operation
and maintenance of motor vehicles
must be eliminated or greatly re-
duced. There is nothing more ef-
fective In this connection than ra-
tional engineering Standardization.
Its invariable effect Is to enhance
quality and decrease cost of prod
