If Phoenicians want to get the one fare rate for the Como Estamos spe- cial, they had better make applica
 ton before noon Wednesday, de- clared Dr. F. H. Redewill, chairman of the Maricopa Auto clubs commit tee in an interview made public yes
 terday. There are scores of good people who have been saying to me that they would gladly join the spe- cial if they could be assured of the $17 rate. And as there are about sixty names in already, it would be an easy matter to complete the neces- sary hundred by Wednesday night, in time to reserve the three or four spe- cial Pullmans needed by that time.
 Tn view of the fact that much of the entertainment at Los Angeles will be taken care of by the Los Angeles motor clubs, the trip will not be an expensive one for Phoenicians to take In case it is possible to pledge the Southern Pacific one hundred reser- vations, the company will supply a special train, the cost of which to each individual will be about ST for the round trip. Personally. 1 am anxious to secure enough names to make the hundred, not only for eco- homie reasons, but so as to get a good showing for Arizona at the Van derbilt and Grand PriX races at Santa Monica Saturday and Monday"
 The Sierra Madre club will extend a special invitation to Phoenicians to visit it's quarters and make them selves at home Fritz Kreisler, the world famous violinist will be playing in one of the Los Angeles concert halls Friday night.

 It was Saturday that the accident happened. and NJ. L. Naquin hadn't the heart to spring it until yesterday just before he left for Douglas to meet C. B. Rose, chief engineer of the Velie Manufacturing company, who will pass ten days in Arizona, the guest of the state agent. The burnt offering to the gods of the motoring Olympus was performed strictly counter to the innermost wishes of Naquin, about ten miles north of Mesa. It came about
 through a badly fixed gas line. which ignited when the motor back fired in cranking. In an instant the car was enveloped in flames, and the driver was helpless. There ale two object lessons to be found in this accident. One is. never allow your { motor to be cranked with the spark too far advanced and a drip of gaso-
 line near the carburetor, and the other is: carry an eXtinguisher. Fortunately, September Morn's life vas well insured, and Naquin does not lose all of her cost.
