HOW DEATH OCCURS
ON THE HIGHWAYS

An analysis of the auto
mobile fatalities in Arizona
this year, we think, will
show that a very large ma
iority of them have occurred
in accidents in which only
one car was involved. Either
the carelessness of drivers
or dangerous conditions of
the highway were at fault.
The latter are being re-
medied as rapidly as possi-
BILE by Strengthening the
roadways at danger points,
putting in fills, culverts,
boxes and bridges and wild
ening the highways where
they have been too narrow.
If this work could be
completed by the end of this
year, but of course it could
not be, the causes of high
way accidents in Arizona in
1882 would be reduced by
much more than so per cent.
There has been a very
decided moderation of reck-
less driving not only on the
state and county highways
but on city streets with the
result to date that the num-
ber of deaths so far this yeal
are more than 20 per cent
less than those for the same
period in 1930.-AriZons

APROTEST TO HIGH
WAY DEPARTMENT

A delegation from Cool
idge, consisting of P. w.
Hamilton, r. J. Jones, Asa
Gardner and Howard Tho
mason, accompanied by
State Senator, Bob" Jones
of Pinal County, called at
the Highway Department
at Phoenix, Wednesday
for the purpose of entering a
protest against substituting
trucks for teams now at
work repairing the damage
done by the recent flood to
the State Highway between
Coolidge and La Palma. The
withdrawing of the teams
and teamsters doing this
work at present would only
swell the ranks of unemploy-
ed in this vicinity, besides
taking away what little in
come derived by those that
have teams available for
such work. The contention
of the engineer in charge of
this repair work is, that
sufficient amount of material
could not be obtained from
the bar pits to fill in the gaps
created by the flood. Steps
were taken by Senator Jones
however, to obtain from pro-
perty owners along the high
way an additional footage
in order to supply the nee
essary material.
The conqenial S n a t o +
from Pinal County stands
high in the esteem of the Of
ficials of the HIGHWAY De
partment as well as n his
own constituency, and if the
number of valuable mea-
sures introduced by our po-
-,ular Senator for the bene-
fit of P;nal County anc
raesed by the legislature is
taken as criter;an, we miss
our guess if Senator Jones
service will not be IN de-
mand again for another
term in the State Senate.

AUTO ACC|DENTON
WEST HIGHWAY

Mr.. A. j. Dunnaway,
manager of Safeway Pay'n
Tak;t stores in Coolidge was
on his way to Phoenix to at
tend a business meeting of
the company stores when he
collided, head on with a Bis
bee car driven by Jim Jeans,
both cars were badly dam
aged but the occupants es-
capped serious injury. Mrs.
Jeans was cut about the face
and was rushed to the Ste
ward hospital at Coolidge by
Mr.. Dunnaway for treat
ment.
She was not seriously in
iured and went on to Bisbee
this morning after spending
the night in charge of DR..
Steward at the hospital. Mr..
Jeans had his wife and child
rem and two brothers in his
car, and Mr.. Dunnaway was
accompanied by Opal Mar
tin and a young man of Cool
idge who all were fortunate
enough to escape injury.
Mr.. Dunnaway thinks the
dust of the highway was the
direct cause of the collision
and the fact that he was
driving very slowly saved
them all from a more serious
accident.

died suddenly at his home
in Englewood, N. J. of cere-
bral hemorrhage.
Senator Morrow was SO
years old retiring, modest
statesman who had carried
his creed of neighborlv
frankness into finance, dip
lomacy and politics with
such success that he was
frequently mentioned as an
outstanding possibility for
the Republican presidential
nomination in 1886. His
most remarkable achieve
ments in diplomacy were as
ambassador to Mexico and
as a member of the Ameri-
can delegation to the London
naval conference, which he
was credited with saving
from collapse.
Mrs. Morrow took the news
of her husbands death
bravely, friends said. She
personally dictated a cable
to Col. and Mrs. Charles A.
Lindbergh, informing of
Morrow's death. Charles
A. Lindbergh, jr., infant son
of the couple, is at the Nor
row estate in Maine.
Mrs. Lindbergh, second
daughter of Morrow, and
her famous husband are in
China.
Morrow was born at Hunt
tngton, w. Va, January II,
1873. the son of James E.
Morrow, president of Mar
shall college and Columbia
university. In 1908 he mar
ried Elizabeth Reeve Cutter
of Cleveland, O., and three
girls and a boy were born to
them. They are Elizabeth
R. Morrow, Mrs. Anne S.
Morrow Lindbergh, wife of
Colonel Lindbergh, Dwight
w. Morrow, jr., and Con-
