WOMEN DRIVERS

Clark e. Wood ward, vice pre-
sident Liberty Mutual Insurance
Co., says:
The common conception has
long been that women are atom
inable automobile drivers. The
time was when mere man could
say that tie up ia the Sunday
stream of ira tfic was caused by a
woman driver or that the
chances we're 80 in 100 that if
ones wife took the car out for
tea party, it would came back
minus q fender. But figures
don't show that to be the truth.
Women are not terrible driv
ers and the beauty whose high
powered sport model breaks all
speed laws and the bones of un.
wary pedestrians and whose de
vastating charm disarms the
motorcycle cop is rarely met
with except on the screen.
The results of national
survey, based on the law of aver,
ages and proper proportions we
have found three female policy.
holders in automobile accidents
for every ten male policy hold,
ers. Starting as it may be, we
found the riato was to 10.
From Maine to California came
reports which confirmed the
Liberty Mutual figures. For
example, commissioner B. r.
Marshall of Pittsburgh, said that
in his nine years experience as
head of the traffic department
they had not fatality where a
woman was driving the auto,
mobile.
why women should be safer
drivers than men, all things con
sidered. [ cannot guess. We are
investigating further, and if we
find the answer, think we ought
to go down in history with Col
umbus, Balboa, Will Rogers and
other discoveries"

Mr.. AEARo's ANNouNcEMeNT

The Monday morning issue of
the Arizona Republican carried
the announcement that Dwight
B. Heard would NOT be can
didate for Governor in the 1926
campaign. The announcement
of Mr.. Heard regarding his poll.
tical plans had been awaited
with much interest by active
politicians in both parties and
now that bis decision has been
>broadcasted the republican party
on the eve of the 1926 campaign
finds itself without leader.
In declining to become a can.
didate on the Republican ticket
for Governor. Mr.. Heard is con.
sistent to say the least. Pre-,
suming that Ralph Cameron will
be the candidate of the republi-
cans for S. Senator. Mr.. Heard
has refused to align himself
politically with a man whom he
deems unfit to represent Arizona
at the national capital. 10 TAX
ing this bold stand for what he
believes to be right, and for the
best interests of Arizona, regard.
less Of the political consequences
to himself, Mr.. Heard has de
mostrated that be places prin.
ciple above party expediency.
as be says: Often there comes
a time when we have to choose
between principle on one side
and expendiency and personal
advantage on the other. I am
cheerfully standing for funda-
mental principle-at least [ am
maintaining my own peace of
mind and self respect"
That Mr.. Heard has a strong
political and personal following
in Arizona cannot be denied.
The votes he received two years
ago is proof OF statement. His
OPPOSITION to the election of Ralph
Cameron will prove before the
campaign is over, a serious OBJ
stacle in the polical path of the
junior senator from Arizona.

County Agent Notes

Indications are that there will be
trouble from the Army Cut Worm
throughout the State this year, espe-
cially on winter wheat. AS rule
they are worst from April 18th to
the first part of May. They work
fast, originating in weed fields and
stubble fields on the side, and march
across a field in a remarkable short
time.
Unlike the Pale Western Cut Worm
they can be controlled absolutely. The
place to lock for them at this time
is in stubble fields, weed fields on
sandy soil, especially when exposed
to the sun on the south slope. When
specimens are found send them in
for notification. When as many as
two or three are found per square
foot look out for trouble. They are
not found as a rule in wheat fields at
this time, but in surrounding fields.
They are more numerous in other
parts of the State, but we had some
trouble from them last year. They
can be controlled easily, and the
county agent will help to stop any
outbreaks.
