Leaving San Francisco in 1879 he
came to Tucson, and at the age OF
five, to Nogales in 1882, making the
trip from Tucson to Nogales in
those early days on a stage coach
He started his business career
here as a messenger boy for the
western Uniin and the railroad
company and later worked in the
dispatcher's Office here under the
late w. G. Bulge.
Early in life he was railroad agent

Between 1925 and 1884, inclusive,
the rate of death from automobile
accidents increased II per cent in
urban territory of the United States.
But while this change was taking
place, the rate of death increased al
most 100 per cent in rural territory.
(Urban territory includes all towns
and cities more than 10000 pop
ulation, and rural territory the
remainder)
Last year there were nearly 100000
automobile accidents which hap
pened on rural highways which
resulted in close to $4,000 deaths.

Many of these deaths happened
because drivers took chances ana
drove too fast for conditions, as
Illustrated above. That speed is a
more serious factor in deaths on
highways than on city streets is IN
dicated by the fact that at city street
intersections last year deaths from
almost 100000 accidents numbered
only 5000, less than half the fatal
tiles from accidents on highways.
This information shrieks warning
about the danger of driving too fast'
no matter how good a driver per-

Commodity Price
Changes for Week
BY A. A. PATTON,
ArrnniaAnA prasc StatiStician


NEW YORK, February 8.-Coinci-
dent with clouded legislative atmos-
phere in Washington regarding new
program for agriculture, the Associ-
ated Press commodity index registered
O slight decline this week.
The largest setbackS occurred in the
staples, most heavily weighted in the
index and therefore overshadoWed
minor gains in other parts of the list.
Prospects of larger Winter wheat
crop than was expected was reflected
by lower prices. This caused recess
sion in the agriculture index in spite
of slight gains in rye and cotton.
Live Stock Irregular.
Live stock markets showed diverse
trends. Cattle and lambs continued
to give ground as larger quantities
came to market than in the previous
week. Hogs, on the other hand, re-
versed last weeks action and were bid
up by spot demand.
Eggs, cocoa and butter pushed ahead
on good demand rather than short
supplies. Refined sugar prices weak
ened in what trade circles termed an
equalizing move to bring them more
in line with the raw. Lard prices also
were down.
Some of industrys staples advanced,
notably rubber, steel scrap, turpentme
and lumber. Dropping burlap prices
were the result of the trades belief
that when the present curtallment
agreement expires March 81, the out
put of Indian mills will be consider
ably increased.
Textile Prices Narrow.
Textile prices were little changed
with a slight drop in silk more than
offsetting a minor increase IN wool.
Non-ferrous metals traced similar
course: a tin decline outwelgning an
advance in antimony.

So far, brains are the leading
