pairing themselves for the phys
- zeal strain and tuning up their
cars to the highest pitch of efficiency,
20 auto pilots and as many mechan-
icians are getting ready for the seventh
annual Los Angeles to- Phoenix race
the great desert dash known to motor
dom as affordinG the most trying
ordeal ever presented for car and driver.
Interest in the classic grows with
the time approaching for sending the
speed boys on their way and about
all that is heard now where auto racing
events are talked of concerns the battle
against nature on desert waste.
Drivers Tune Machines.
During last week some of the pilots
and mechanicians worked long hours
over their cars, some Of them through
more than one night, while others were
out over the course familiarizing them
selves with every foot of the way.
Most of the crews now have been over
the course at least once, but this week
Will see some of them out again.
The prospect Of rain next week, in
dicated by several showers of last week.
is one of the chiefly discussed subjects
in connection with the race. Rain to
any considerable extent will play havoc
with the course' and bring out the
prospect Of the race not being finished.
However, none interested in the event
is expecting to see water mar the race.
while crews of the cars entered are
planning to combat nature in this re-
spect.
Much Interest Taken.
All who have been over the course
pronounce it fast, and predictions are
many Of notable achievements. From
all along the line come reports of the
keenest interest in every community
on the course in the event. Where the
schedule affords time for demOnstra-
tons, the crews are TO be given a well

greatest efforts the remainder of the

War Makes Demand
For Automobiles

American dealers point out that the
war has indeed made a new demand
for automobiles which offsets any dis
advantages that the conflict may have
brought about For instance, the Amer
lean maker has learned many import
ant lessons from the use of motor
trucks in the present war. With it's
superior advantages to offer, the auto
mobile has practically replaced the
mule and the horse as an army trans
pOrtation aid
On this point Motor Age saws:
From this date forward it will be
impossible for an army operating on
horse pace to compete with one on
motor pace. 1t is an entire evolution,
so great in its results that it cannot
be overlooked, and even peaceful coun-
tries maintaining a semblance of a
standing army will have to give atten-
ton to the necessity of some form Of
SUBSIDY, whereby uniformity of vehi-
cles will be had.''
More than 10000 motor vehicles are
known TO be in the service of the
French army at the present time. In
war times the automobile has been
found especially valuable to officers in
the various branches of the service. for
Iecon terlng, for dispatch work. for
rapid raids into the enemy's country
and for Red Cross service.
The army has secured $4,000 motor
trucks, some subsidized and some pur-
chased outright. 1t has 100 motor
buses, zoo four wheel drive tractors,
ABOUT 30 motor searchlights and prob
ably 100 various special vehicles. such

This is the plan of the officials of the

If a favorable report is made by the
Auto club scout of a new projected
route running direct from southern
California into Arizona it is likely that
this route will be made official along
with the present one operating by way
of Needles and Seligman.
By the discovery of Auto club en-
gineers of a new, and what promises
to be a shorter route, motorists will
be provided with a direct tour from
Los Angeles through San Diego and
inland % Phoenix
For commercial purposes this road
will be of great Importance, as it will
provide a direct route through the PalO
Verde valley to the junction of the
railway at INLAND. This will mean the
growth of a great truck industry from
Phoenix westward.
Definite data will be obtained by

all elevations and preparing the report
on the ACCESSIBILITY Of adopting the
route as an accepted tour to Phoenix.
All points throughout the Imperial

be effected by this short cut for motor

but for commercial vehicles will this

Where All Men Are Equal.

In the democracy of the dead all
men at last are equal. There is
neither rank nor station nor prerog-
alive in the republic Of the grave. At
this fatal threshold the philosopher
ceases to be wise and the song Of the
poet is silent. Dives relinquishes
his millions and Lazarus his rags.
The poor man is as rich as the rich
est and the rich man as poor as the
pauper. The creditor loses his usury
and the debtor is acquitted Of his
obligation. There the proud man
surrenders his dignities, the politi-
clan his honors, the wording his
pleasures, the invalid needs no ply
sician, and the laborer rests from his
unrequited toll. Here at last is
natures final decree in equity. The
wrongs of the time are redressed,
injustice is expiated, the irony Of
fate is refuted, the unequal distribu-
ton of wealth, honor, capacity,
pleasure and opportunity, which
makes life so cruel and inexplicable
tragedy, ceases in the realm Of
death. The strongest has no supre-
macy, and the weakest needs nc
defense. The mighty captain sue.
cumbs to the invincible adversary
who disarms alike the victor ano
vanquished. John J. ingalls,.
