HEADS MoToRcYcL1sTs' LEAGUE BUREAU

Since his appointment in July to the chairmanship of the Legal Action committee of the Federation of American Motorcyclists. Wm. M. Johnson. of Chicago, has been right on the job, and has already inaugu rated a plan whereby members of the national organization can in any emergency secure legal assistance at q cost within their means. The plan cotemplates the appointment in each community of an attorney who will represent motorcyclists in case of ar rest or accident and see that they ore given a square deal" This plan has not been adopted with the idea of urholding the motorcyclist to the exclusion of the rights of drivers of other vehicles. The Federation be- lieves that the rights of all should be equally respected. It stands for law and law observance and has no sympathy for the speeder or the careless driver. The appointment of attorneys in the different communi- ties is merely for the purpose of sec ing that the ride, has the benefit of, good. sound advice, as well as proper legal help. in times of need.
 These attorneys are to be selected by the motorcycle dealers of each city. The attorney will give advice to the F. A. NJ. riders without charge. He will collect claims in case of ac- cident. on a percentage basis; with out charge if collection is not made. And where defense is needed the charge will be at a. reasonable rate approved by the motorcycle dealers of the city. In all legislative ques- tiors. involving motorcyclists as a class. F.. A. NJ. attorneys will be em p,oyed and paid by the Federation. In order to receive the benefits of this plan riders must become mem bers of the F. A. M, and it is ex- pected that the inauguration of the
 plan will tend to bring many riders
 into the F. A. M. fold.
 In addition to this new work, the

RACE PLANS ARE AGREED
 ID BY CLUB
Phoenix Motorcyclists Get Together With Chairman Smith of San Diego Com mittee and Plan Second Desert Grind

As a result of a thorough discus sion of the race problems that con- front San Diego and Phoenix in the matter of the motorcycles, Raymond J.. Smith. emissary of the San Diego committee will this morning meet with the local committee to sign ar ticles of agreement on which the second, and biggest desert grind will be run.
 Mir Smiths proposition at first hinged on the Phoenix clubs guaran- tee of ten entries for the race. San Diego was planning at this time to put up S250 and to raise as much again in the Imperial Valley towns. Phoenix skirmished around and dis covered seven riders who could be counted on for the race. Here things fingered. until at the suggestion of Harry Lane, Smith agreed to guar antee $500 to match PhoeniX's money, if Phoenix would guarantee ten en- tries as against a like number from 1he coast metropolis.
 TO tnlS IunU or SlUUu VIII De duueu such of the entry money as is not needed for expenses The disburse- ments of each committee will be split and taken from the entry fund. Then with twenty entries. at $25 apiece, and with another thousand already pledged, the coming San Diego to Phoenix race bids fair to pay it's winners in the neighborhood of twelve to fifteen hundred dollars.
 Holtville and Fl Centro are going to break into the racing limelight, for it has been ordained that if the race comes through those towns, and cuts off forty miles of it's length, Old John Holt. the founder of the former place will help raise some of the purse. Holt didn't believe motorcycle could buck the famous sand hills, but it did-several of them. And the founder of the little city was so proud of it he agreed to help fin ance the next race.
 Yuma may be counted on for some financial assistance A night control will be located there, as was the case last year ..
 Among the Phoenix riders who were counted last night as probable en- tries are Bodo, Wilson. .Sellner Baker, Rhodes. Lane and Gerig.

None Others But Those Good Globeites, Wester k, Ramsay and Bernstein - This Causes a Double header Sunday
By C. M. SPElLMAN Double header Sunday!

 The first game happens at two thirty and the other follows after the finish of the rIrst. Whose finish it is to be will not be known till the day.
 Oh, yes, I forgot to mention, it's Phoenix and Mesa who are playing. That is, Phoenix versus Mesa and
 Globe combined, for Langowski has a lot of the miners now draped with the gray uniforms of the Jewels. i Lon will load up a Globe battery | Westerwick and his mate-for the first game. Westerwick is the big thurler who dealt such misery to our
 team when he pitched for Globe in i Phoenix several weeks ago. Then there is Ramsey-you remember Ramsay? Ramsay, the tall husky with the perfect Greek profile and the outlandish curves? He pitched lagainst Mesa couple of times, los ling the first game and winning the second
 Well, he will probably hurl the second contest against the Senators. Bernstein, Globes fast little short stop, is another outsider who will be magic wanded into a Mesaite. Say, fan, let me tell you. there will be some ball here SundayAand iall for one admission, too. And the Sunday after next will come Silver City. But the nearest game is the one the sport editor wants me to talk about. It will sure l be a good one, the players from over the state playing under the Mesa banner, will give our Solons a real run for their money.

 The expansion of the parcel post field to include heavier shipments than were originally planned brought the postoffice department face to face with the problem of automobile trans portation.

"When Rome Ruled" is laid in the Roman colonies of northern Africa, and tells of a beautiful Christian maiden, Nydia. who comes to the notice of high priest, who covets the girl, and the subsequent attempts of the infidel to take her, and his final undoing at the

GRIND AHEAD FOB CONGRESS.
Leaders Determined to Avoid Extra
SesHion After Next March.

Congress will reassemble today after
recess which began on December 23.
This was the first time, so far as any
member of the Oldest Inhabitants Asso-
citation OF the District of Columbia can
recall. that Congress failed to take a
recess in the holidays bridging New
Years Day. The Democrats are try
ing to finish the winters work, so as
TO avoid the possibility OF a special
session. and accordingly they shorten
ed the holiday recess. when the
House meets today 1t will resume con-
sideratiOn Of the pOstOfice approprla-
tion bill. The Senate will continue de-
bate on the immigration bill. Both
houses will be kept everlastingly at II
from now on, and the leaders are hope
full that long before March 1, when the
Congress will come to an end by con
stitutiOnal Limitation. the work Of the
session will be completed. Present in
dications are that little aside from the
big supply bills will be passed this
winter. Work will be done on the i'm
migration bill, and il doubtless will he
passed, but doubt is expressed that the
ship purchase bill will become a law.

ARMORED BULKHEADS
AGAINST SUBMARINES
U. S. Dreadnoughts Will Be Equipped
with Interior Devices to Guard
Against Torpedo Attacks.

Interior armored buIkheads, which
would confine to a small area the dam
age done by a torpedo, will protect the
new DreadnOughts to be appropriated for
this year, naval experts Of the United
States have informed the House Naval
Affairs Committee.
The information was given in answer
shown the advantage Of submarines over
battleships.
Two methods were considered by the
eXperts-the construction of interior bulk
heads and the placing of armor on the
bottom of the ships. The latter method
was discarded because it would add too
much to the displacement OF the battle
ships, and unless some better method is
found, bulkheads will be built
There is strong possibility that the
Naval Affairs Committee will recommend
the construction of a battle cruiser, in
addition to two battleships asked for by
Secretary Daniels, il was learned yester-
day.
It is indicated from sentiment of indi-
vidual members of the committee that
81 l.OoO.O 900 will be appropriated for the de-
velopment of aerOnautics in the navy.
This is S7O0.ooO more than was asked by
Secretary Daniels. who thought that a
renewal OF the $4,000 spent last year
would be sufficient.
The increase Is due directly from the
lessons learned from the European war
1t will be the first time that an appro-
priation has been made for direct de-
velopment of aerOnautics
The $l,OOo.OO0 appropriation is expected
to he spent for forty-eight Beroplanes, a
dirigibIe, a hydrogen set, a floating shed
for two dirigibles. two drigibIes for
school purposes. and a kite balloon.
