S|LvERTOWNs SCORE
 IN CHICAGO DERBY

In the 300-mile Chicago automobile derby, Resta, De Palma and Chris taens, in first, second and third places, used Silvertown tires. Resta, in his Puegeot, and De Palma, in the Mercedes, each went through the 30O- mile race making only one tire change, and Christaens drove his Sun beam car from start to finish without changing a tire.
 The tremendous speed, averaging 9S.7 miles an hour for the 300 mile race, proves how severe the cars and tires were tested.
 In addition to the three winning drivers, Silvertowns were on the Dus- enberg driven by O'Donnell, which finished fourth; on Delvin's Sunbeam, which %as fifth on Vairs Hudson, in sixth place; D'Alene's Dusenberg, sev- erth; Gables Burman Special, in eigth place, and McCarthy's Hudson Super-six, in ninth place.
 In other words, the first nine driv- CTS to finish used SilvertOwns, which is certainly a striking and most con- vincing proof of the popularity of the i Silvertowns among racing drivers
 who by their experience are better than anyone else qualified to judge the merits of the tire.

will have the opportunity of seeing r the opening of the steer looping. the
 broncho twisting and the relay riding.
 If 1t is found desirable, a special will
 return to Phoenix the evening of July
 1. Many of the tourists will remain
 over for the three succeeding days, in-
 cluding the five conventions that will
 meet in Prescott during the memor-
 able week.
 The idea of the special is to relieve pressure on the regular trains that will be carrying overloads of excur- sienists and vacation bound valley
 people. Tickets will probably be solf at the excursion rate of $575, good not only on the special train but or any trains during a limited period dur
 ing the week.
 To secure the special. it will be nee | essaiy to engage passage for at least 1 125 persons. There will be no diffi- ] culty in doing this. A time limit wi, | be placed on reservations for the spe cial, and the last sales will be made about neon on Monday, July 3. l Booster hats, badges and pennant.

MABEL TA|LFERRO
 AT COLUMBIA TODAY

 Those who recall Mabel Talliaferro in the best Metro play that has ever come to Phoenix, Her Great Price, will be pleased to know that the viva cious little actress is again at the Col umbia in a corlIing story of the snow country up and around the great Hud- son Bay country. It is called the Snow Bird' and Miss Talliaferro is seen in the double part of a society girl reared in the lap of luxury in New York city and a half-froZen waif of the frozen woods country where the eternal silence and great frost king contest for the mastery. The Snow Bird" is said to be even better than Her Great Price" and that in itself was a record at the Columbia for no picture of the year had a bigger punch or a better value than this introductory picture for Miss Talliaferro on the Met TO program. A Drew comedy with the | inimitable twin in the leading roles | will augment the feature program

NEW YORK, June 20.-High sugar prices will continue for some time .after the European war, Claus A. Spreckles, president of the Federal Sugar Refining company, declared in addressing the annual meeting of the company's stockholders here today. He also announced that no portion of the surplus of the company would be distributed to holders of common shares at present, but that money will be used for betterment
 Unlike other commodities for which the war has created abnormal demand" said Mir. Spreckles, sugar is an essential at all times. and to all peoples. American refiners are now supplying practically all Europe and as a consequence the price of sugar has risen to a degree which insures comfortable profit" Retiring directors were reelected at the meeting.

SECTION Of us.
Inch Of the Beautiful Fell
Here During the
Spring BEATS RETREAT
Some Facts About April
Weather Of Other
Years.

Part OF the heaviest April snow, IN
several years reached Fairmont last
night about ll.30 p. III. when the co1u
wind that had blown steadily al! Gay
brought rain and s1eet which quickly
turned TO snow. All night ting the
snow continued and this morning
more than an inch of snowfall Gov
cred the ground and 1t was still tal!'
ing the greater part OF the day WIN
occasional furrics.
In many places in Pennsylvania as
much as six inches Of snow had fall
en- at s o'clock this morning. Three
inches were reported at Philadelphia
and is the record-breaking April snow
in that region.
The snowstorm seemed to cover
considerable territory as two ana q
half inches of snow at Cincinnati
we're reported this morning. The en-
tire Ohio Valley was covered by the
storm. Wheeling. Parkersburg and
Huntington all received more heavy
snowfall than Fairmont.
The signs OF spring that have been
so much in evidence locally the past
few days are not to be seen today.
Overcoats and rubber shoes have re-
placed the palm Beach suits ana
straw hats. Baseball fans that ex-
pected to see the first game of the
season today are tanning around the
gas stove instead of panntng the UNI
pire from The grand stand.
The suffragists who have been
planting their yellow flowers ana
"delving-in.the.ricll .brown.earth" in the
great outdoor pastime Of the early
spring gardening are not to he seen
today. The call OF the 'great-out-door'
world" has no inducement to offer to
one sitting comfortably by the ire
side, and can hardly be heard for the
ge.l!:a purr Of the gus lirc or the t;lod
CRACKING OF the steam radiators.
April of last year was the
warmest April of record for the past
25 years. Snowfall occurred In this
section on the third OF the month. but
was very light. The early part of last
April was unseasonably cold until the
18th. The lowest temperature record
ed for the month was 10 degrees and
the highest 1O1 degrees. This 1ol was
recorded at Romney on the twenty
sixth OF the month, the temperature
at Fairmont on the same day being
90. This high temperature is the re-
cord for April since 1891.
The lowest April temperature In
that time was degrees above zero
and occurred in 1898.
After the present cold wave ceases
the probabilities are that the latter
part of April this year vii be warm
and pleasant The late Easter this
year makes It fairly safe to predict
pleasant day at that time. II Easter
should be warm and bright this sea-
son it will be for the first time in
the past five years.

East Side Firemen
Fight Stubborn Fires

An overheated chimney in the rest,
dence OF L. w. Ward OF Raymond
street was the cause OF a smouldering
blaze yesterday afternoon which
caused the East Side fire department
no little work.
Although there was at no time any
great danger the fire was difficult to
get to and burned stubbornly. The
damage will not exceed $50.
The East Side fire department was
also called shortly after the noon hour
Thursday to answer call to tho
home OF L. Bennicks on 613 Market
street. Children playing in the pan.
try in some manner started the blaze
which for time threatened the
home. The firemen responded to a
hurry call and soon after arriving
had the flames under control but only
after the pantry, walls and kitchen
utensils were ruined.
