GRAND CANYON
 RULES ARE TO
 BE STRINGENT

Traffic regulations promulgated by the secretary of agriculture for the protection of visitors at the Grand Canyon of Arizona have been issued. These regulations are of interest to the tens of thousands of tourists who go every year to the best known land mark in America. They will be en- forced by officers of the United States Forest Service which has jurisdiction over the Grand Canyon NationaI Monument.
 The regulations are only a part of a proposed plan of administration de- signed to perpetuate the beauty of Grand Canyon for the future and to protect the public in their enjoyment of it.
 The new regulations are as follows:
 No vehicle shall be driven or allowed to stand between the Hermit Rim road and the brink of the canyon.
 2.-No vehicle or animal shall be left in such a manner as to Obstruct free passage way over any road or prevent ready access to any public landing block.
 S-No animal used for transporta- tiOn purposes shall be lief. or any road or public place without being tied or attended, nor shall any horse drawn vehicle be left on any road or public place unless the team is tied or attended.
 4.-Trail parties shall have the right of way and no vehicle shall be driver. so as to interfere with their lineup.
 5.-Motor vehicles must give horse drawn vehicles the right -of-way; must sound horn when approaching curves or the tops of ridges or when passing other persons or vehicles going in the same direction; must close muffler cutout while passing houses. hotels or camps: must display front and tail lights after dark; and must not be left unattended with engine running.

FINE MILEAGE: RECORDS MADE.
 IN HARD TESTS

Gasoline tests for mileage made by the BOrderland Motor company with their Chandler six during the past week have developed some refnarla ble figures. On two occasions better than IS miles to the gallon have been se- cured on trips which have extended beyond the 100-mil mark. On another trip of about half this mileage the Chandler performed remarka bly, with better than r miles to the gallon of gasoline.
 The tests for mileage were conducted by the sales force of the Borderland Motor company and were made for the express purpose of ascertaining just what figures members of the sales force of the Borderland company could quote as official mileage tests in this district for their cars. Every character road in the valley was in cluded in the tests while in the noun tain trials the road from Phoenix to Globe was used as a test for the Chandlerss gasoline consumption.
 The valley test for the ear gasoline mileage was made last Sunday The test was conducted by Glenn A. Mar tin of the Borderland company. In the Chandler four passenger roadster Martin drove 112.4 miles oh an even five gallons of gasoline. or an aver age for the entire distance of 1S.7 miles per gallon.
 Before Martin started the test run he drained the gasoline from his tank. He then put an even five gallons of liquid into the tank. In Q large sealed can in the ear he carried enough gas oline to bring him back to the city after the five gallons in the car had been exhausted. He began his run over the state highway. to Mesa and Chandler. En route back to the city he took the high line road coming back to the state highway at Tempe Between Tempe and Phoenix he re- turned by way of the Papago National park He then turned north to the country club, passed over the canal at the club to the desert, and from Hyatt's Camp took the Paradise val ley road which leads down through the valley and enters the irrigated district in the Ingleside territory.
 During the afternoon, Martin toured through the city for several miles when he drove south into the noun tains and as far as the Mex Delta mine camp. He then returned to the city and turned west on the Yuma road. When finally he had exhausted the five gallons of gasoline which he had originally poured into the tank he was at a point more than twenty-five miles outside the city limits of Phoe nix He returned on his extra supply, reaching this city shortly after , o'clock. On the entire trIn he drove

his car as near the 20-mile per hour mark as possible and never once did he exceed this speed. Counting a stop of half-hour for lunch his elapsed time was slightly over five and one half hours.
 One of the remarkable features of the trip was the manner in which the mileage remained at high tide despite several stops and starts and despite the fact that the driver was forced to go into second gear for quarter mile behind a herd of cattle which he caught on the Yuma highway.
 In the hill test between this city and Globe, Leo Weaver, salesman for the Borderland Motor company, main tained the 1S-mile per gallon mark when he returned late last week from the mining camp district In the en- tire 11S miles from this city to Globe he consumed six and one-half gallons Of gasoline, an average of 181 miles per gallon.
 Weaver filled his tank to the brim before leaving for Globe When he had reached his destination he refilled the container Less than one pint more than the six and onehalf gal ions was necessary to fill the tank to the top.
 The third test was conducted inside the city limits and most of the mile age was over the paved streets and in traffic where it was necessary to slow down, often almost to stop. This trip not only demonstrated the gaso- line mileage attained by the car but showed also the great fleXibility of the Chandler under pressure. In Taf- fife the car could be trottled down to a speed slower than a man can wall. and in a few feet could be pushed up to a speed in excess of the city's legal limit.
 All three tests, conducted to deter mine the value of the Chandler as an economical car from the standpoint of operation showed in addition to the objects of the tests, that the Chandler is among the most easily handled and most flexible cars on the road. The experiments were successful beyond the expectations of the drivers and they showed conclusively that when the car is run with an idea to getting the utmost mileage the Chandler will maintain it's place with any other car on the American market

and lighting of the group. Mr Young has modelled and colored the figures from field studies and photographs. The background against which the group is shown consists of mountains near the Salt River in the arid land of Arizona. As the Apache were people of passage in the western country, their dwellings were of the most tenn porary kind. In the foreground of the group is 8 sun shelter resting upon forked sticks and made of pleached branches Under such shelter the men and women of the tribe would leisurely ply their vacations in the heat of the day. Among the figures of the group are z. man making arrows, a woman holding her papoose a wom- an engaged in constructing a dome shaped house which she is covering with thatch; q woman covering basket with pitch so that it may be used in place of pottery, too fragile for transpOrtation; and striking fig ure of an Indian mounted on one of the wiry horses of the southwest. The household utensils used by the Apache were naturally, different from those employed by the settled tribes which had a fixed habitation.
 The Apache were the first North American Indians to obtain horses, and ever since the Spanish occupa- ton they have been known as horse breeders. They made frequent forays into the settlements of New Mexico and Arizona and penetrated into old Mexico in their quest for horses. The Apache gave much trouble to the pioneers Of the west, and the United States army made frequent i expeditions against them.
 1 The capture of Geronimo, the Apache chief, by General Miles was one of the most stirring incidents of the war
 fare against the tribe. General Wood, i then a young army surgeon. took an active part in this expedition and was rewarded by the gift of the Con- i Eressional Medal of Honor, which cor responds in this country to the Vic i toria cross of Great Britain.

 GROUPS SHOWN
 IN b|C MUSE UM

The warlike Apache, the tribe against whom fought many noted American soldiers, including Major General Leonard X. Wood, are the. subject of 9 new habitat group in the Southwest Indian Hall of the Ameri- can Museum of Natural History The Hopi group, in the same hall which has been withdrawn from public ex- hibltion for several months, has been considerably altered At a time when so much attention is being directed to the primitive culture of the north American Indian, the arrangement of this hall is of peculiar interest.
 The Apache have been chosen for the second of the series Of habitat groups because they represent the nomadic inhabitants of the southwest, as distinguished from the sedentary Hopi, whose mode of life is repre- scented in the first group. Like the preceding one, this new group is the joint work of Howard Mccormick, a well known artist of this city, and of MahOnri Young a sculptor whose work has attracted much attention Nc.

Writing Up to RuIss.

The reporter carried to the city edi- tors desk the story on which he had toiled two hours. It was an account of the adventures of cat that, through the mistake of a rural postmaster, had been crated and shipped by parcel post to the city post office.
 "It's mighty hard," he confessed to the city editor, ito write up to all the rules learned at college, particularly that one about avoiding repetition"
 The editor glanced through the mar rative. The first sentence mentioned the fact that a handsome tortolse-shell cat had been received at the local post office. In the next sentence the re- porter had avoided repetition by call ing the cat "puss." Then she became successively a tabby. an animal, . feline and pet. Then the reporters s overworked vocabulary put forth . final squirt, and the item finished tri- umphantly:
 "When the slats were removed from the top, the contents of the crate were found to be suffering from hunger and nearly dead from thirst. ."-Youth's 2 Companion.

HAD TO WIRE FOR ADDRESS
EngIishman Visiting in Paris Took Roundabout Method of Finding
 Out Where He Lived.

A young Englishman who had a spend a holiday in Paris. With little difficulty he sought out hotel, and anxious to make the best of his time he sallied forth the next morning to have look at the boulevards. Having spent a few hours there, he would re- turn to his quarters. But to get to the boulevards and then get back to the hotel he soon found were very diff ferent things, for. to his great annoy ance, he had utterly forgotten the name of the place where he had taken up his abode.
 Further, mere smattering of French was all he knew, and as every one he encountered appeared to have no knowledge of English, the difficulty of explaining himself seemed insur- mountable. At last, to his great joy, he stumbled across fellow-eountry- man who, after little conversation, suggested an ingenious escape from his dilemma.
 By the way said he, "did you send to your people in England any intima- ton of your safe arrival last evening?'
 of course, I did" was the ready reply. q wrote to my folk at once, as l promised my father I should"
 "Then don't you think.' remarked the quick-witted Englishnan, "that 1t would be a good idea to wire home and ask them, if they have received your letter, to let you know your address in Paris?"
 Absurd though IL seemed at first, 1t was the only thing to be done, and, luckily, his letter had been written on hotel paper. He waited patiently in the telegraph office until he received the welcome intelligence which sent him on his way rejoicing.

eyes, explaining that she could not well accept his invitation, he signified his understanding.
 "We're goin' to see lot of you, just the same," he promised her, "'cause we feel as if you sort of belonged to us. There's a lc< of good people in this part of Texas, and them that ain't so good, God and the rangers is slowly weedin' out. We don't always know the ones we like best until something happens to 'em. but if you'd heard the prayers the folks of Jonesville have been sayin' lately you'd know you was our favorite." Then, with a meaning twinkle in his eye, he told her, gravely :: Tt seems q pity that I ain't younger and better-lookin'. I would sure cut short your grief" Then he raised his hat and rode away. chuckling.
 Alaire turned to Dave in dismay. "He knows!' she cried.
 "I'm afraid they all know. But don't worry :; they'll respect our wishes"
 Father O'Malley had ridden on ahead with Benito and Dolores; Dave and Alaire followed leisurely. Now that the moment of their parting was at hand, they fingered by the way, delay ing it as long as possible, feeling a nat ural constraint at what was in their minds.
 "How long-will it be?' he asked her, finally "How long before I can really have you for my own?"
 Alaire smiled into his eyes. "Not long But you'll be patient, won't you, dear?"
 He took her hand in his and they rode on silently, song in the heart of each of them.

CHAPTER XIV.
 
The Dawn.

Juan Garcia proved to be good guide, and he saved the refugees many miles on their road to the Rio Grande. But every farm and every village was a menace, and at first they were forced to make numerous detOurs. As the night grew older, however, they rode a straighter course, urging their horses to the limit, hoping against hope to reach the border before daylight over- took them. This they might have done had 1t not been for Father O'Malley and Dolores, who were unused to the saddle and unable to maintain the pace Juan set for them.
 About midnight the party stopped on the crest of fiinty ridge to give their horses breath and to estimate theiI progress. The night was fine and clear outlined against the sky were the stalks of countless sotol-plants stand ing slim and bare. like the upright lanees of an army at rest; ahead the road meandered across a mesa, GOV cred with grama grass and black, form less blots of shrubbery.

Vassar to Revive Daisy Chain.

The time honored daisy chain pro- cession, which for 50 years was the big feature of the class day exercises at Vassar college and which was aban- doned last June, is to be revived. After a controversy covering many weeks the students have voted to go back to the old custom, and as in the past select the 24 prettiest members of the sophomore class to carry the chain. The students have concluded the alleged bitterness caused by the selection of the two dozen prettiest sophomores as daisy chain girls under the old system was more imaginary than real.

boys, Benito Gonzales, Phil Strange, and a number of Jonesville's younger and more adventurous citizens.
 In the midst of the tumult Benito h. quired for his wife, and Dave relieved his anxiety by calling Dolores and Fa- ther 0'Malley. Then, in answer to the questions showered upon him, he swiftly sketehed the story of Alaire's rescue and their flight from La Feria.
 When he had finished Blaze Jones drew a deep breath. We're mighty glad you got out safe, but you've kicked the legs from under one of my pet ambitions. I sure had planned to nail Longorio's hide on my barn door. Yes, and you've taken the bread out of the mouths of the space writers and sob sisters from here to Hudsons bay.

 It was evident, from the words of the others, that the Jonesv1lle Guards were indeed quite as needless of interna- tional complications as was their con- mander. One and all were highly in censed at Longorio's perf1dy, and, had Alaire suggested such thing, it was patent that they would have ridden on La Feria and eXacted a reckoning from him.
 Such proof of friendship affected her deeply, and it was not until they were all under way back toward Romero that she felt she had made her appre- ed that these men were some of the

A school teacher In the Italian quar- ter of Chicago had been telling her pupils certain of the fables of Aesop, and of these the story of the fox and the grapes seemed especially to appeal to one dusky son of Italy.
 By stroke of luck the teacher was enabled to hear the lad give his yer sion to lad In another class.
 In delicious dialect the boy re- counted the fable pretty much as 1t Is written until he reached the climax, which he rendered thus:

very neighhors whom she had summed and slighted, and whose honest interest she had so habitually misconstrued all these years, it seemed very strange that they should feel the least concern over her. It gave her new apprecia- ton of their chivalry and their worth; it filled her with a humble desire to know them better and to strengthen herself in their regard. Then, too, the esteem in which they held Dave-her husband-gratified her intensely. It made no more difference to them than to her that he was poor man, man without authority or position; they evil dently saw and loved in him the quali- ties which she saw and loved. And that was as it should be.
 They were gentle and considerate men, too, as she discovered when they told her. bit by bit, what had happened during her absence. She learned, much to her relief, that Eds funeral had been held, and that all the distressing details of the inquiry had been attend ed to. Jose Sanchez, it appeared, had confessed freely. Although her new friends smade plain their indignation at the manner of Eds taking away, they likewise let her know that they considered his death only a slight loss, either to her or to the community. Not one of them pretended it was anything except blessing.
 
 The Journey drew to an end very quickly. Romero, deserted now by it's garrison, stirred and stared sleepily at the invaders but concerned itself with their presence no more than to wonder edly. Plainly, these gringos were a barbarous race of people, what with their rushing here and there, and with their loud, senseless laughter. God had wisely placed them beyond the Rio Grande, said the citizens of Romero.
 The crossing was made; Alaire found herself in Texas once again, and it seemed to her that the sun had never been so bright, the air so clear, the sky so high, the world so smiling, as here and now. The men who had rid den forth to seek her were smiling. too, and they were shaking her hands and congratulating her. Even the Guz- man boys. who were shy in the pres ence of American ladies, were wishing her the best of fortune and the greatest of happiness.
 Blaze Jones was the last to leave. With especial emphasis upon her name, she said: "Mz Austin. Paloma and me would like to have you come to our house and stay until you feel like goin' back to Las Palmas."
