HIGHWAY DEPARTMENTS
AUTO CHECK REVEALS
BIG TRAFFIC ON ROADS

Tucson Apr. 16. The state
highway department makes a
monthly check on traffic at differ
ent points in the state for IL
hour period. A quarterly check is
made over a full 24-hour period by
the same department.
On April 6, the three months "a
hour check was made, and the re-
suits tabulated in the vicinity of
this city are of interest to Tucson
ans.
On the Nogales road at the Ben
son junction, it was ascertained
that 972 Arizona passenger cars
passed that point. while lat trucks
bearing Arizona licenses were not
ed. One hundred and thirteen for
eign passenger ears passed through
the check, and sufficient number
of miscellaneous vehicles, includ-
ing motorcycles and wagons, pass
ed on that date to make the total
1900.
On the Tucson-Florence high
way at the Casa Grande junction,
1346 Arizona passenger automo-
bi!es were checked, and 213 Ariz-
ona trucks. Foreign license bear
ing passenger cars numbered 213,
while foreign trucks checked were
II. Counting the additional mis-
cellaneous vehicles, the total at
that point was 1870.

BY LEGIONNALRES

Douglas, Apr. 16. The Fred
Hilburn Post of Douglas has taken
over the management of the Doug
las baseball club and expects to
give that city winning club this
season. The Post is handicapped
to some extent, owing to the fact
that the grandstand and the fence
to the park burned some time ago
ard will have to be rebuilt, but the
members are going after new one
with the spirit that has always
characterized their community
work. It is safe to say that a new
grandstand will make its appear

and "lean" periods. The sun shines,
financially, for the taxi man on
rainy day. Conventions are source
of joy, and so are the weekend tour
lists. The driver gives three cheers
and tiger when Monday holiday
follows week-end--for example, like
Easter Monday and Memorial day.
The influx Of visitors is always greater
at these times, resulting quite natu-
rally in q larger volume of business.
1t is necessary in this city of vast
and varied points of interest that the
taxi driver be familiar with all places
of public and historical fame. Pick
ing up a tourist fare" means that
he must at once appoint himself guide
and announcer.
Many amusing incidents are related
by the men who drive the Washing
ton taxis on these occasions. a par
ticularly interesting one occurred Eas-
ter Monday, when Nichols was hailed
by two women obviously from out of
town. They indicated that they
wished to see the sights and were con-
vcyed to the Lincoln Memorial, Wash
irigton Monument and numerous
other structures familiar to those who
receive post cards from visiting folks.
At the conclusion of the tour Mich
OILS asked them if they would care
to see the annual egg-rolling on the
lawn of the White House. attended by
the President and Mrs. Coolidge.
Yes, indeed, they would.

There can be no doubt that their
contact with all classes of fares"

a curious language, indeed.
1t is not a matter of conjecture for
the driver as to the probable size Of
your tip. IF he is man of average
experience he can, by his own peculiar
process of deduction. name the
amount to penny, and the fee may
run anywhere from a nickel to $40, all
depending upon the circumstances.
And circumstances largely govern the
amount of the tip he may expect.
A youthful male escort of a sweet
young thing invariably tips gener-
ously, with the obvious motive of i'm.
pressing his lady. Married men are
more frugal and less benevolent with
their fees. Apparently there is no
longer the impulse to show the woman
he once courted what a reckless blade
he is. sa%@g~s s4
For short haul the Zee, as has
been remarked, depends largely upon
the circumstances and the generosity
of the passenger, usually from a thin
dime to a quarter.
The driver who, i'm conveying an
elderly person, carefully avoids bumps
or who refraIls from applying his
brakes too suddenly and Unexpectedly
often wins favor and a larger fee, par.
ticularly IL there is male escort.
Then, too, there is the fare" who
makes numerous stops en- route to his
destination, compelling the driver to
seek parking space until the patron
returns. Once again the driver can
be reasonably assured Of generous
gratuity.
There is another type Of patron
and this is the sordid feature of hack.
ing a catch-all public-who frequently
is good customer of rowing taxis.
Reference is made to the gentleman
who engages in clandestine love-mak-
ing. In this case a taxicab becomes
at once the rendezvous where secret
lovers may easily hold their tryst,
safe from instrusion or discovery. Ill
lighted streets and shadowed by-ways
afford cloak of protection for such
persons, and the driver is instructed
to follow them. Sometimes he is di-
rected to "just drive around" in which
case he must obey his patron.
The cab drivers motto is, "Stick
to your fare" To paraphrase a
classic, "His not to reason why, his
but to do and fly" Indeed. it is no
business of his to question the
propriety of obedience to the COM
mand. The drivers deductions may
prove erroneous and offend the most
characterful and decent of citizens.

Why Trees Kill Grass.

IT is matter Of common observa-
tion that grass does not grow 20
we'll close 10 trees as in the opeis.
The same is true of grains. Exper1.
ments in this country and in England
have shown that the deleterious ef-
fects upon one another of grass and
trees are mutual. The trees suffer
as well as the grass and grain. This
is especially true of fruit trees. The
cause is ascribed to the excretion by
the trees, on the one hand, of sub
stances poisonous TO the grass, and
by the grass, on the other hand, of
substances poisonous to the trees. 1t
thus appears that the failure of grass
to grow well near trees should not
be ascribed to too much shade, nor to
the exhaustion by the tree roots of
the food needed by the grass.

DER WAS COMMITTED BY
BLUE EDWARD.
According to this explanation of the
mysterious crime, it turns out, right
at the end Of the story, that the mur-
der was not done by any of the
people uspected--neither by the But
ler. nor the Half Hero, nor the
Tramp, nor the Dangerous Woman.
Not at all. 1t was the work of one
of the most audacious criminals ever
heard of except that the reader never
heard of him till this second, the
head and brain of a whole gang of
criminals ramifying all over Hades.
This head criminal generally goes
under some such terrible name as
Black Pete, or Yellow Charlie, or
Blue Edward. AS soon as his name
is mentioned, then at once not only
the Great Detective but everybody
else knows all about him--eXcept only
the reader and the Nut, who is al.

THE SOLUTION OF THE THOR
OUGHLY DANGEROUS
WOMAN.
According to this method. the crime
was committed by a thoroughly bad,
thoroughly dangerous woman, gen.
orally half-foreign-which is supposed
to account for lot. She has just
come into the story casually--as a
nurse, or as an assistant boOkkeeper,
or, more usual and much better. as a
"discarded flame" of somebody or
other.
These discarded HameS flicker all
through detective literature as a ter
rble warning to persons Of a tickle
disposition. In any case, great re.
lance is placed on foreign blood as
accounting for her. For Anglo-Saxon
readers, if you put a proper quantity
of foreign blood into a nurse and
then discard her, that will do the trick
every time.
To show how thoroughly bad she
is, the Dangerous Woman used to be
introduced by the writers of the Vic
torian Age as smoking a cigarette
She also wore "high-heeled shoes and
skirt that reached barely to her
ankles" In our time she would have
to do a little better than that. In
short, as the key TO. a murder, we
must pass her by. She would get
acquitted every time.

While to all intents and purposes
he is merely an automoton on the
front seat, any driver will tell you
that he still retains that right ac-
corded him by the Constitution, free
dom of thought. Seldom does he fail
to appraise his fares accurately.
Sometimes the male will, with no
effort to disguise his motive, direct
that the driver "ride around and
avoid the lighted thoroughfares.
This is the type of "hard-boiled" phil
andering Lotharios who do not care to
conceal their obvious mission.
TNEBRIATES constitute another
care of the taxi driver. Often such
prospective patron is unable cohe-
rently to give his address. In this
event the driver may take his lntoXl-
Gated fare" about until he has re-
vived sufficiently to explain clearly
where he wants to go. Quite ire
auently the drivers task is not con-
cluded when he leads his erstwhile Gus
toner to the front door. 1t happens,
many times, that waiting and more
or less angry spouse demands to know
where her erring husband was picked
up. She is convinced that her be-
fuddled better-half was taken from a
"joint" somewhere, and the innocent
driver becomes the target for a flood
of undeserved though bitter tongue.
lashing.
Still another common type is the
stranger within the gates of the city,
earnestly in search of something with
which to quench his thirst. In this
hour of distress he halls a taxi and
to the driver he reveals his yearn-
ing. To the credit of the majority
of drivers it may be observed that
very few accede to the request. II the
fare becomes insistent the taxi man
may drive the patron around to three
or four uninhabited houses where he
stops and pushes the bell button. This
usually satisfies the thirsty one and
wins an extra fee for the driver.
Tone of voice more often than at
tire reveals to the driver the quality
of his prospective patron. Culture
and wealth frequently masquerade in
simple and transformations habiliments.
The bizarre type of woman usually
orders" the driver, the unadorned
gentle-voiced woman requests.
Moreover, the latter is invariably so.
1icitous for the welfare of the man
on the front seat. Will he please
let her out at So-and-So's store and
wait? She noticed a vacant parking
space a few yards back or around the
corner and, perhaps. it might be bet
ter for him to remain there. 1t will
save him so much trouble. Yes, there
are patrons like that.
While the average driver carries
about % fares" q day, he does, like
