HOUSE PICNIC ON
 DESERT ENJOYED

CHANDLER. Dec. 22.-A house pie nic to the desert on Friday and the dinner dance on Wednesday, at the Hotel San Marcos, Chandler, are both worthy to be starred in red on the so cial, calendar this past week.
 One very pleasant feature of the din- ner dance night was a party given by Mrs. E. W. Hanna in honor of her daughter, Isabel, to a number of the younger set of Mesa and Chandler.
 Among the Phoenix guests on dance evening was Barry M. Goldwater, who was host to a party of twelve.
 The picnic party on Friday included practically all of the guests of the ho- tel, who journeyed to the desert five miles west of Chandler and dined al fresco in an environment of cacti and palo verde.
 The most popular indoor sport at present at the hotel is knitting. Miss Ahler so far holds low record for the ladies. while John D. Vhay, who was a San Marcos visitor from Buena Vista during the week set new record for the men. Damon is hot after his rec ord, but while MT. Damon can show a record on his golf score of forty, his knitting, 1t must be confessed, looks

WILL FIX TRACK
 FUR AUTO RACES

In preparation for the automobile races to be staged at the state fair track New Years day, the improve ment in the north end of the speed way, which will not only make possi- ble faster time by the racers, but will insure a far greater safety to the drivers, is authorized.
 The north end has been the source of considerable consternation to participants in racing events. It was at the point where the repairs are to be made that the serious accident during the state fair took place.
 The commission, through Secretary Zachau has arranged for banking and reinforcing this stretch, and has also contracted for the oiling of the entire track. This will lay the dust and make the track safer and much faster. In view of this, it is expected that some of the most exciting races ever seen in this district will be pulled off on New Years day.
 Entries are being received daily from all over the state and it is evi- dent that dealers, garage men, access sOries dealers and all men interested in the automobile business are enthu- siastic over the project. There is an old score to be settled between local drivers and car owners and the cru cial test will be applied with all con- ditions, including a perfect track, con- ducive to good time.
 The principal event of the day will be the fifty miles free for all, for which a purse of s1,000 is offered. This race is open to Arizona drivers

 Everybody was glad to see Harry Collis back at the hotel again. He ar rived on Friday, and is full of plans for further improvements of the golf links.
 Miss Lillian H. Req and Wallace L. DeWolf of Chicago are among the weeks arrivals. MT. DeWolf, who is a well known landscape artist in his native city, is one of the first of the craft to make etchings of the desert. On Thursday, accompanied by Miss Req and Miss Dorothy Robinson, he made the trip to Roosevelt, planning to sketch views of the Superstition noun tains enroute.
 A good roads committee from Phoe- nix were among the dinner guests of the hotel on Friday. The party in- cluded: Warren McArthur, J. P. Con- dit, Lin B. Orme. J. B. Cook and H. Clay Parker.

PRESSURE FEED FAILURE

It sometimes happens on cars where fuel is fed by pressure supplied by the exhaust gases, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain the pressure at the requisite figure. AS a rule press ure does not drop quickly, but seems gradually to ooZe away. The first thing to do in a case of this kind is to examine the filler cap of the tank. A leather or rubber gasket is used at this point and often the rubber becomes spongy or the leather gets hard and caked, or a small bit of foreign matter may have lodged between the cap and it's seat On the other hand it some times occurs that the pressure in the system is built up to a point where the small valve operated by the carbureter float will be unable to restrain the fuel and flooding of the instrument will re- suit AS rule pressure of one and a half pounds is ample to insure an un- interrupted supply of fuel in the car bureter.

 Ed. A Thillenius, of the Kissel Auto company, is head of the committee of local dealers promoting the event.
 In addition to the auto races there will also be some exciting motorcycle events. Besides the motorcycle races will be an exhibition of motorcycle jumping, stunt which has never before been offered for the delectation of local motor enthusiasts.

W. With the count on the conscription vote still incomplete" the cable said, "the antis have lead of 160,00O votes. It is roughly estimated that more than 100000 soldiers and absent civilian ballots have still to be counted and the more optimistic among the minis ters expect this to turn the scale in favor of national service, though they dubiously admit that while the sol dier vote is certain to be for conscrip- tion, the civilian vote is by no means. to be depended on."

INSERTING THE TUBE

When inserting a new inner tube or replacing the old one which has been repaired, the inside of the casing should first be wiped out with a damp cloth to remove any sand or grit that may be present. A single sharp pointed grain of sand between the casing and the tube is very likely to force it's way through the tube causing a puncture. This is the real cause of many mys terious puncture.

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 22-The fail ure of the Detroit Americans to share the spring training trip with the New York National club next year, is said to be due to the open break between Ty Cobb and Charles Herzog in a Dallas hotel last year, at which time the De- troit outfielder and the Giant infielder clashed in a fistic encounter.
 It is understood here that no definite arrangements have been made relative to the spring training trip for the Tig- CTS in 1918.

How would you like to be the

visit his partners wife to find that
your fiancee was employed there as a
butler? Or, how would you like to-
be the wife of the young man who
was the other half of that same bust
ness and find that because he has
won in a game Of cards, he must con-
duct the entire, business, which de-
mands so much of his time that he
is unable to be home more than one
or two evenings week. Or, how
would you like to be the stenographer
in her office of the same firm, COM
prising the same two young men, and
have to resign your position because
each one says he is the senior part
ner and each one will discharge you
if you show preference for the other,
and you don't know how to please
them both?

Introduces Amendment Amid Ap.
plause and Has It Passed
In Five Minutes

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Miss
Jeanette Rankin, Montana. game
but a little nervous, made her maid
en- speech in the house Monday. She
introduced, spoke on and had passed
in less than five minutes, amid voci-
ferrous applause, an amendment. pro-
viding that as much as possible of the
food conservation work under the L.
yer bill shall be done by women.
Miss Rankin, after nearly two
months of virtual silence caused a stir
as she arose, obtained recognition as
1.-The lady from Montana" and hand
ed her amendment to the page.
The amendment follows:
provided that the secretary of ag-
riculture shall so far as is practicable
engage the services of women for the
work herein provided for"
Then Begins Speech.
Miss Rankin, still standing, was
again recognized. She braced herself
on the back of the preceding row OF
chairs and began her first speech.
This amendment will place wom-
en- where they can be effective" she
said. by having in these offices
woman officials who understand the
home, women can be encouraged to
conserve food. BY using women we
can concentrate the attention of wom-
en- in large questions of the nation.
Women must learn to think of food
in carload lots, in transit, in storage,
in the board of trade, and in the ma
tional market, as we'll as in the small
portion of the family table.
WOm0n,s Tim f7itio,,o1 VUovIr
Food conservation on a national
scale is but a natural outgrowth of
woman's traditional work. Women in
the. past have been concerned with
the immediate preparation of food
from one meal to another. They must
now consider the food supply for the
year.
I'VE know that with our unparal-
leled resources and improved methods
of production there is no need for
anyone to go hungry" 49,. &: - !.

said ordinance and continue to oper-
ate jitney car on a paying basis.
The ordinance was finally amended
and in its amen led form, it is possible
to, comply with the same although it
is very rigid and works considerable
hardship to jitney operators. BY rea-
son of the above mentioned fact. the
public has not, nor is it now getting
as good service and accommodation
as it is entitled to and deserves.
Only few days ago Cor missioner
Silberstein again introduced an Or
dinance drawn by Mr.. Samuelson, City
Attorney, which, if passed, would have
meant lingering death Of the jitneys.
But thanks to the sense of justice and
fairness on the part of our mayor,
and Commissioners Phillips and Far
rel, the ordinance was defeated in OPP
position to Commissioners Silberstein
and Voss~
I wish to mention the fact that the
jitney operators are unionized and af-.

and in behalf of the operators I wish
to thank all local unions for their
moral support during these years of
