VODEVIL TO BE
 FEATURE OF WEEK
Hotels for Motorists, Park ing for Cars; Entertain ment for Man and Motor Planned By Wise Ones of the Association.

Accommodations and entertain ment for the visiting motorists and the drivers in the two great races will be the results of some practical plans laid by the Maricopa Auto club at a special meeting called yes terday. Better than any sort of entertainment will be the accom- mediation of the great crowds of automObilists coming into Phoenix during the State fair next month for with the limited accommoda- tions that obtain during such peri Ods. it will be difficult to find places unless reservations are made Tom Trent was made a committee of one to see all the hotels in order to make sure of rooms for the visit Ors. Secretary Jack Holmes will at tend to the outside work of secur- ing names from the secretaries of Arizona. California and Texas clubs
 About a dozen of the faithful gathered in Power ConWay's office at three yesterday afternoon. mainly to take over the arduous duty of seeing to everything during the fevered fair week and beforehand. The above mentioned plans were the results of their conference
 At conservative estimate. five hundred autos will be visiting Phoe- nix at fair time. Of the thousand motoring visitors many will come without pre-arranged accOH roda tions, and it is to make the stay of this majority pleasant that the club is exerting itself. After making sure of a system for caring for the motorists, the club arranged a scheme to take care of the motors. The Lount block on Central ave- nue will be set aside as the park ing place for all visiting cars. 4 battery of searchlights will be mounted so as to play on the lot at night, and watchmen will be en- gagged to see that no harm comes to the machines nominal sum of about twenty five cents car will be charged to pay part of the eX- penses incidental to this arrangement
 But the feature of the club plans was the great motor parade Wednes- day night the evening of the motor races at the State fair track. All will remember the parade of year ago-how the long string of cars crept down Central avenue from the north. and the row of glaring eyes looked as it stretched right from the foot of the mountains. This will be the scene from the down town corners on motor parade night of the coming fair. Charles Me Arthur will be the genius of the motor parade. He will have entire charge of the arrangements and then will act as director of the pageant. with marshals working un- der him. Prizes will be hung up for the best decorated car. and for
  Der of machines-outside MaricOpa. Sections will be laid off for each county in the state-for Los Angeles, for San Diego and for Fl Paso. This with the many motorcycles accom- panying. ought to bring the number of motor driven vehicles in the pa rade up to a thousand.
 Following the parade the motor
 sts will attend a vaudeville and feed on the roof garden of the Ari- zona cIub-the whole to be directed by that able "fixer," F. Power Con way Those who attended the i'm ported vodevil at Tucson during the first Motorcade will remember-and be present at the second one.
 Two bands will be available for the monster motor parade and for the entertainment following it. One of these will be the F1rSt tteSlIneItol band and the other the Copper Queen The local band was formally invited to take part in the merry making and formally accepted in the person of it's director, Col. F. H. Redewin who is also an autoist. And Fl Paso, Too.
 When the Fl Paso boosters get here on the twenty third the Mari copa Auto club will cooperate with the board of trade in entertaining | them. The club will furnish ma | chimes to take the Fort Bliss band and the Arizona band to the Coun- | try club for the smoker and Dutch lunch on the night of the twenty third The regimental band will go along in compliment to the visiting
 band, and will play alternate mum bers on the program at the club ] house.
 After having cleared the decks of all that action, the club relaxed
 bit and indulged in some day dreams. One of these related to membership-whic must grow enor- mously and become very active and another concerned club house. which will certainly be built some day.
