FL PASO ROAD RACERS
 MAKE RECORD TIME
Negotiating the Run in Less Than 16 Hours Will Stop but Short Time.

Driving all the distance from Fl PasO to Phoenix in the remarkable time of slightly under 16 hours. Billy Adolph and Clarence Rand, entrants in the Fl Paso to Phoenix road race arrived here last night shortly after twelve.
 The run was a direct one, the men lying over for only a short time at any point on the road. They rested for several hours at Douglas and came df- rect from that place to Phoenix. The roads between Douglas and Tucson are the poorest on the route, according to the statement of the men last night. In some places, owing to the rains, there are big ruts running down both sides leaving mountain in the middle of the road, and on several of the hills. especially the hill near Vail, there are malapai bolders so thick that it is al- most impossible to drive over them
 Both drivers were tired and well dir tied from the ride but will stop here only long enough to get a few hours sleep and a good meal.

 My relations with the provisional president were brought about by the stress of circumstances" he says add ing that his dealing with Huerta and Felix Diaz were solely to save human life and abate intolerable conditions in Mexico City. His course he declares
 vastly mitigated the horrors and Suf- ferings of that terrible situation and was endorsed by all diplomat foreign colonies and religious organizations in Mexico. The assumption that he was at that time intruding into the politics of Mexico, writes MT. Wilson "are at variance with the belief and testimony of all living eye witnesses and against the record on file al the department of state"
 The present policy towards Mexico he brands as indifferent and drift ing. and expresses the fear that it would develop greater hatred of Ameri- cans in Latin America and eventually may lead to intervention. In having spoken thus frankly he says, he has been actuated by the public good and

Heartrending Experiences of Two Hunters; But They Bring Back

There is lots of desert near Phoe- nix, but no desert isles. Yet Bill Roer and John Sullivan of this city
 were lost fast night just as com pletely as though they had been dropped on a lonely coral strand in the very center of an opalescent tropical sea. The simile goes still farther. For the men were rescued by the same means one takes GUS tomarily in -apprising passing steam CTS of ones maroonment.
 Sullivan, proprietor of the Owl barber shop, Roer, their wives and another lady. journeyed by auto into the Cave Creek country yesterday. on hunting bent. They tarried until after dark, and lost their road. The two men left the women and started off to search their way back to civil. ization.
 Meanwhile merry auto party Mognett, Mrs. $. E. Mognett, Miss Ida and Martin Mognett, Jennie Ste vens and Alfred Nesbitt happened along. The three women of the ship wrecked party flagged the other par ty by means of pocket search lights. Then the men of the rescuing expe- d;tion gathered lots of wood and stuff, and built q monster signal fire. The lost menfolk saw and fired their guns in reply, and it took them one solid hour to find their way back They had got three miles off the road and were headed in just the wrong direction to have reached a read Phoenixward. The adventur CTS returned about 9:00 o'clock with a glad lot of rabbit and quail.

SIR OLIVER LODGE ON MINOR
 TAIITY

Sir Oliver Lodges recent address on "Continuity" before the British associa tion, striking as it was, is anticipated by Sir Oliver himself in his latest book Modern Problems published by George H. Doran com pany. He insists on the idea of continuity in the hereafter and eX- plains that phrase, in some of it's manifestations, in his chapter on The Nature of Time
 Though we may maintain that the succession of events. the facts of growth and change. are not hallu- cinatory. that they are real enough. we cannot safely assert that they are so real as to be eternal There are facts which suggest that there is a higher kind of eXistence-an existence already attained by our loftiest work, an existence appro- priate to creations of genius-a kind of existence, subsistence, or super sistence which transcends present limitations, which has been raised or put ashore out of the current of the time-stream into a freer and diviner air where the past, the present and the future are united in the trans cendentaI coeXistence of a more copious reality. The aim even of human artist is to produce work which shall be thus transcendent and immortal. And the Creator need not be supposed subject to hu- man limitations.
 Let me repeat that if we owe all original knowledge to our primary experience and fundamental sensa- tions. we must have arrived at our conceptions of the universe-of space, and time, and matter, of in telligencies, of the Diety, and of real and progressive existence-by utili- zation and development of notions derived from our primary and direct sense perceptions of motion, of speed and of force"

Last year there were only two cars; this year there will be four cars One will be used for the display of agricultural products, in this car part cular attention will be given to such crops as can be raised by dry farming methods, as it is recognized that this is one of the industries of the state that needs encoura cement.
