MANY CARS
 FUR RACES
Arizona and Fl Paso Mo- torists Are Stripping Fast Property for the Coming Race Over Borderland Eastern Lap

They are tearing up perfectly good motor cars and making racers of them. Lots of garages are doing it. Right here in Phoenix, there are two fast carts in particular-C. M. Du- bois' Cole and Shorty Fremeau's Black Hearse Buick. Dubois himself will drive the racy looking Cole, and Fremeau and Avis, who piloted the Buick into peck of tire trouble in the Prescott loop race on July ,, will again sit in companionship on the hurricane deck of Louis Nikrents old car.
 Along the route of the Fl Paso to Phoenix race there is scarcely a ga rage that is not the scene of racer building. Even that enthusiastic lit : tie town of Florence has one. There, the Abbott-Detroit which used to be- long to Thalheimer of this city, and which burned to a crisp one time, is being overhauled for the race. It is quite some car. too.
 Bisbee is watching a couple of na- tive son wagons-a Lozier and a Velie.
 M. L. Naquin's September Eve has been all summer in the hands of Red Brewer at Globe, and is now what the capable Red calls 'consid erable car" Naquin is contemplating putting the old September Morn mo- to- on the Eve frame, as that in cinerated ancestor is said to be faster and more powerful than the light mechanism.
 In Douglas there are several cars on the verge of being stripped Even the little burg called Deming has two cars-a Chalmers and an Apperson. Fl Paso has at least half a dozen cars-not the least of which are Bill ly Adolph's Fiat and an Oldsmobile Of certain speedy qualities, which the same Billy possesses.

TEN CARS FROM
 L0S A. SHRINE
Al Malikah Temple of Angel City Will Send Great Delegation to At tend Moslem Pilgrimage to Grand Canyon

Make ready for at least ten cars"
 That was the gist of a wire that came to shrine headquarters last
 night from Los Angeles where the local shrine is making history lining
 up the escort party for the imperial l potentate to the Grand Canyon.
 1 The big special from the coast will
 be made up of members of the four
 shrine temples in the state of Cali fOrnia. Potentates and officers from all of these have already signed to
 go and it begins to look as if the train will be the largest that will steam into the rim village on the i morning of October ,.
 | There is so much that is novel to
 attract the fall tourist that it looks 1 as if the shrine members will be out
 numbered by the visitors who are i taking advantage of the rates to pay
 visit to the great desert wonder. 1 The rates which are to be made 1 special for the shrine train will be open to all who get accomodations i in advance and as the number of l Pullmans that will be ordered de- ipends entirely on the advance reser- vations, those who make up their
 minds at the last moment will find , themselves without accommodations in the way of berths To date more | than half of the reservations have 1 been made by out of town visitors,
 and they of course have gobbled up
 the lower berths. If the local vis- | itors who contemplate going want
 to be assured of berths they should i get in touch with the shrine office l Owing to the many visitors from
 the south asking for berths who are
 not affiliated with the shrine the
 committee has decided to throw open
 the balls and the other big entertain
 ments for the purchasers of shrine
 special tickets. These tickets are
 to be had at tho office of the shrine | and will be good for everything in
 the way of entertainment provided by
 the committee.
 1 The great barbecue which will be
 a reproduction of the famous Bo-
 hemian Club outing of San Fran cisco, is to feature the roasting of
 steers (whole) upon spickets brought 1 for the occasion from the club S
 storehouse. These great instruments

 There were many regrets when Miss Rumney recently joined her mother on the coast, where she planned to pass few weeks enroute to St. Louis, there to continue her studies at Washington university. The news of her approaching marriage will come as a decided surprise to the members of the smart set, with whom the beautiful young gil is a great favorite. She is petite bru- nette whose exquisite coloring is one of her greatest charms. A bright, vivacious manner, a clever cOnVersa- tionalist, graceful dancer and splen- did musician, she has been much sought after, yet it is her sweet gra- Ciousness that has won her a legion Of admirers.

Neither Would Chang 9 Places With Any Ordi- nary Person - Both Say They Are Perfe e y Happy, So There
By Sally Jacobs

Well they wouldn't change places with you because they are both per fectly happy and contented.
 Yes, indeed.
 How many of you could make a living by just being natural? The fat man isn't fed and the skeleton isn't starved. They do as they please and what they are is the answer.

It wouldn't pay, but upon my word of honor I have never done one thing to make flesh. I don't eat enough to keep a bird alive especially when it's as warm as-this," and he lifted one of his huge hands that strangely resembled a bunch of bananas and mopped his brow.
