GASOLINE CREATE ST HAZARD
~ AUTOMOBILES NOW FACING
Have Become So Accustomed to 1t They Are
Careless Liberties with the
Volatile Fluid

the A. A. A. that one motorist
actually went so far as to light a
match when seated in a Ford sedan
in order to read the number OF gall
Ions of gas in the tank as indicated
on measuring rod. Nothing
happened, but that is just the
trouble. This motorist will take
further liberties next time. And
that will be the end.
"a very large percentage of auto
mobile mechanics now smoke while
working on cars, even when tinker

happens they acquire certain
contempt for it's known hazards. 1t

According to the bulletin the Vapor

however, is that the full hazard in

e. Warning motorists that gasoline
Is now greater hazard because 1t
is less feared, the American Auto
mobile Association has issued bull
! Ietin from it's national headquarters
in Washington that marks the be-
ginning of drive on what IL
termed "contemptuous carelessness."
Because nothing happens" the
bulletin states, the average motor
ist reaches the hazardous conclusion
that nothing will happen" and as a
consequence he let's down on pre-
caution and actually encourages
trouble.
Gasoline IS much more dangerous
to the motorist than it ever was"
the A. A. a. paper explains, for
the simple reason that the ma
FORTY Of motorists take undue
liberties with 1t. The story got out
that gasoline is less volatile, and
from this the motorist seems to have
reached the conclusion that he can
be reckless with gasoline and still
be safer"
This explanation Is said to dove
tail with the experience OF the
leading insurance companies writing
automobile fire coverage. While
the companies enjoyed a more
profitable year than formerly, 1t Is
stated. the losses by fire are still
excessive and still far beyond the
conception OF the average motorist.
I'VE are out to forestall the sort
Of carelessness that develops from
contempt" declares Thos T. Henry,
President of the American Automo-
bile Association. When motorist
reaches the point where danger no
longer looks like one to him he has
reached the danger line. knowledge
Of the facts Is the only thing that
will keep him on the safe side.
Investigation of accident causes
has developed the fact that many
drivers are deliberately careless in
the belief that so long as the other
fellow has good brakes there's moth
ing to worry about. This same rea-
soning--or lack of reasoning-ap-
plies particularly to the matter of
the gasoline hazard.

AxIine to be Candidate
For Office Co. Attorney

Official announcement of the entry

into the race for the nomination for
county attorney on the republican tic

Mr. Axline is a new member to the
Arizona bar and is young man of
much ambition, determination and en-
ergy, and has many friends in Navajo
county who hope to see him elected to
the office to which he aspires. He
was born in 1898, came to Arizona in
1910. After leaving school he engaged
in the banking business, and followed
that for number of years, being in
the employ of the Merchants and
Stockgrowers bank of Holbrook. In
1922 and 1928 he served that institu-
ton as cashier During the World
war he served in the marine corps.
Following the war he studied law un-
der the guidance of members of the
Arizona bar, and in November, 1923,
was admitted to practice. He is now

might be self-contained. The same is
true of education, but politically ID did
not seem as though the Pacific could
