 IN WORLD WAR

The war work council of the ma tlonal board of the Young Women's Christian Association is raising s4.-
 GOO, 0OO for war work among women
 This amount is expected to be enough
 10 cover their expenses until next June. If it is not sufficient, more will
 be raised. Mrs. s. w. French is coun-
 cil member for Arizona.
 Most of the sum will be spent in o,,r own country on women affected by
 the war. The soldiers women folks
 appreciate the hostess houses in the
 military camps for which $930,O0O is
 being spent. Thousands of girl muni-
 tion workers and new government
 employees would have no decent place to sleep and no proper food were it not for the S500,000 the war council has appropriated for their needs.
 For colored women's protection and assistance s200,0O0 has been appro- pfiated. Another s1OO,OOO will be i spent looking after women who can 1 not speak English and cannot there fore look after themselves.

MOTOR CAR RECORDS
 MAY BE BROKEN 1T
 STATE FAIR TRACK

The secretary of tine state fair is in receipt of the following letter from Glenn Breed, sensational race pilot:
 Enclosed find my entry for the race meet to be held on the state fair track Saturday, November IT. I will drive my Hudson Super Six Special and will attempt to lower all records on a mile track. From reports which I have re- ceiyed, the track at Phoenix is light ming fast, and if that is the case you may look for me to clip something from all records from one to twenty five miles.
 T understand that among the other entries you have that of Wild Bill" Endicott and R. Burr Lampkin. While l admit that Endicott is the greatest driver on dirt tracks who has ever sat behind a wheel and that Lampkin is one of the cleverest and nerviest pilots campaigning this season, l feel confi- dent that my Super is as fast as either Endicott's, Sweeny or Lampkin's Sun Ray and that I will be able to best them in any event in which we are matched.
 T would like to bet 1000 that I can win over either EndicOtt or Lampkin, or if both will put any part of the $1 900 make it a three corneTed race, the winner to take the pot. Use your best efforts to induce these men to cover all or any part of this amount for any distance"
 While Breed is not a stranger in western racing circles, he has done most of his work in the east and the middle west Last Saturday at Golf feyville, Kas., he beat Joe Gillette and Louis Disbrow in match race for a G h nec To ,pe. leo such well known drivers as Louis Dis brow, George Clark. Fred Horey and Eddie Hearns.
 Breeds Hudson is one of the six turned out by the Hudson factory and which have been the sensation of the eastern speedways. From all the list of entrants who have posted their en- trance fee, the very best in the way of racing talent will be in Phoenix for the biggest carnival of speed ever held in the southwest.

 The war work council has govern = ment sanction. The commandants of the military camps consider the nos tess houses most important adjuncts. The camps are miles in extent and contain thousands of soldiers A woman coming to visit a soldier may wander helplessly about for hours un- less someone is there to assit her The hostess house fulfills this func- tion. It is a meeting place and a reception hall combined. At the com mandants requests seven houses have been built and are already in use and more will soon be finished Furthe. requests are coming in right along.
 Though the larger part of the money will be spent on our own women, a million dollars is being sent abroad at the earnest request of France, Rus sia and England. Two secretaries in Russia-Miss Clarissa F. Spencer oi Rock Island, H., and Miss Elizabeth Boies of Hudson, Mich, are struggling with the problem of establishing eat ing places for working women. Five others are held up at the border. In France, Miss Henrietta Roelofs oi Grand Rapids, Mich; Miss Mary

LIMIT IN THRILLS
 AT AUTO POL0 MATCH

At the Arizona state fair, Novem- Der F to IT, will be seen the origi- nal American and English auto polo teams. The world, with its love Of the spectacular, has placed her marx of approval on the new and most thrilling of all games, Auto Polo.
 The sensation loving public will at last have a chance to indulge to the limit in thrilling sensations, ex- cited by witnessing these teams IF action. If one goes to these games expecting to be mildly amused, they will receive, to their intense satisfac- tion, the biggest surprise in the world. You will laugh, you will hold your breath, and the chills will creep up your spine. The very air at an auto polo contest seems to be sur charged with excitement, while waves of sympathetic feeling and enthusi- asm push from one end of the grand stand to the other You are pleased and delighted beyond your fondest expectations. It would seem almost certain that the rushing, racing cars, travelling at the rate of fifty miles an hour would dash their player Oc- cupants to certain death.
 Now and then a car is thrown into the air and turned completely over, hurling the driver and mallet man to the earth. It is the riotous madness Of this game that has earned for ""t" nolo the strange name of mo tor insanity" The time worn adage that seeing is believing" is true be- yond the shadow of a doubt, and t.

LOOK WELL TO THE COUNTRY
ROADS.

Our people will be fortunate if, in the
drive after a record production IN all
lines, they keep we'll in mind the great inn
portance Of good roads. Good roads are
III fact, one of the prime factors of sue
cess in our efforts to exceed all former
productive records
The farmer who, after harvesting a
bumper crop, attempts TO move that crop
to market over poor roads, soon finds that
he must sacrifice q large percent Of his
profits IN reaching the market with his
wares. The lumberman who has cut q
choice lot Of material finds he must give
up the lions share Of his profits in getting
his stuff to the railroad. The same holds
good III all llneS-poor roads mean a
waste Of energy; good roads, conserva-
ton OF energy that may be profitably en-
ployed III more production.
The temptation for slackness in this di-
fectlon grows greater all the time Thou
sands of our workers have gone to the
army; other thousands have been draft
ed 90 take their places IN the industries
Labor IN all lines is at a premium.
The people Of this country, however,
have never known the meaning Of the
words "defeat and failure They must
not learn at this late day. \ determina-
ton en- our part that the industrial life Of
the country MUST NOT and SHALL
NOT deteriorate will work wonders
Hitherto only very small percent of the
national energy has been devoted to the
Steiner question Of making q living. We
have had abundant time for all the varied
interests Of life. Now, however, some Of
those interests must take second place
The demands mon orr time and ENERGY,
are such that more and more we must cut
OFT the frivolous and devote ourselves 10
the serious phases Of life
We can find the time and the means
and the labor To keep our roads up % the
standard Of efficiency. We MUST, if a
large part Of our energy is not wasted

LOANS AND SAVINGS.

When the history of the American war
loans IS finally v" ten, into It will be
written the account OF people converted
from extravaganza 60 frugality, from
reckless spending co prudent saving. It
will contain the account Of nation that
while giving freely of its wealth, yet in
the very act Of giving, received more than
it gave.
Yes, great as will be the money out
lay necessary fer the successful prosecu-
ton of this war, the solid, enduring belt-
fit TO the people Of this country will be III
finitely greater.
In the first place, it has caused us to
take stock of our resources. A prodig-
i0us demand has caused us to reach out
for an equally huge supply. But unlike
the flush periods OF former years, when
the added resources have been produc-
ed, they have not been wasted in needless
extravaganza
All over this broad land, from ocean
to ocean and from lakes to gulf, thousands
upon thousands Of men, women and chill
dren have entered upon q life Of frugality
that has for It's object the accumulation of
one or more Liberty Boans Millions of
dollars Of these bonds are being paid for
IN monthly inStalments the terms of
which will run for many months to come.
1t is all but impossible To estimate
what this sef-enforced economy will Go
for our people Viewed merely in the
light Of the financial benefit to the differ
ent individuals, the results must neees-
sarilY be stupendous But going further
and considering ghe stabiliZing effect up
on the nation as whole, the result as
sulnes the proportions Of an economical
revolution.
Ne nation Of people ever yet succeeded
~ building 81. e national edifice UPON
extravaganza. - matters not how vast
the resources, they must IN time succumb
to the lavish hand. Only prudence and
frugality can lay q substantial foundation
for the national lie
We are aware that the life of our pee
pie has heretofore been tending toward
prodigality and that their phenomenal
success would tend 10 dispr0Ve the fore
going assertion But there IS reason,
and It is found in the comparative new
ness Of the country Heretofore Il has
been easier to reach out after untouched
resources than % conserve those already
IN hand. But that day is past. We are
face % face with j demand for all and
more than IS available, and The smallest
fraction Of waste Will tel in the net result
A knowledge Of this fact is the great
legacy that viii be left to American PEG
pie when the war shall have been fought
to a successful end. And that knowledge
with the habits of thrift now being en-
forced, will have affectually changed the
American character from a spending to
a saving people.

THE TRIMMINGS" OF LIFE.

Human activities have from time i'm
memorial been roughly divided into Two
classes, commonly designated by the
plain-spoken as the Essentials and the
trimmings.
The division is an arbitrary one, and
like most arbitrary definitions is fire.
quently unfair It implies that the one is
vitality necessary while the other is super
fluous. This is far from being the truth.
Many centuries ago a great Teacher
declared that Man shall not live by bread
alone This truth has lost nothing Of its
force with the passage Of time There
are many vital interests in life besides
that of mere subsistence. These inter-
ests are they which mark the dividing line
between man and the brute creation.
They are the demands Of his nature that
grow out Of his higher intelligence and
they are lust as essential to the compile
ton of the character as are the demands
Of subsistence to the development of the
purely physical.
If we are to reap the full reward Of
our service we must not set aside the So
cial demands of life It IS untrue to say
we have no time for such Time devoted
to the cultivation of the social life-in
reasons never wasted. Il is really q
period devoted to the storing Of energy
and resources that shall aid Us in the more
material tasks. An intimate knowledge
Of The characteristics Of our fellows is
