BATTERIES HURT
 BY M|sPLAC|NC
 ECONOMY CLAUSE

"A few days ago." says o. W. Pafford of Schweitzer Machine Co.,, the local Willard representative, "a great labor leader in the country, said that on ac- count of the high price of food that thousands of working men were unable to work at top notch efficiency, that they couldn't afford to buy the proper amount of food to keep them in the best of condition. and that they were trying to do full days work on a three quarters days rations.
 That's precisely what thousands of car owners are doing with their bat teries. They are calling on them ev- every day for a full days work, sbut keeping them in three quarters charged condition.
 The result is just the same as it is with a man. The man is apparently in perfectly good health, but slowly the continuous shortage of one-fourth of necessary food is cutting down his vii tality
 The full charged battery works well and works a long time. The three quarters charged battery works well, but only for a short time.
 Just as shortage in food, be it ever so slight, cuts down the efficiency and vitality of a man, so a shortage from full-charged condition cuts down the vitality and efficiency of the storage battery.

 Although the original picturization
 of this wonderful drama was one of the biggest successes ever presented to movie fans it is said that this late

TEN MILE SPEED EVENTS SMASHED
 BY BIG PACKARD

All speedway records for distances up to ten miles, marks that have stood for six years, were smashed by the Packard special equipped with the larger twin six aviation motor, at Sheepshead Bay track last Friday and Saturday, according to advices received Monday by Alvan Macauley president of the Packard Motor Car company. Phil Rader drove the twin six special in all it's trials against time. The records will stand as official, having been made under observance of the A. A. A, according to McArthur Brothers, local Packard distributors.
 Time for the ten miles was minutes, 50 and SS- one -hundredths seconds, an average speed of 123 and 75-100 miles per hour. The best previous record made at Brooklands was minutes, 19 and 7S one -hundredths seconds.
 Raiders fastest mile was at speed better than 125 miles an hour. To be exact in 2S and 75 one -hundredths seconds. Both these records were made Friday evening.
 On Saturday morning Rader drove one-quarter mile in 6 and 91 one-hun- dredths seconds, or at the rate of 130 miles an hour; one-half mile in 13 and 94 nuIlQTeutuS SeCOnuS, UT at llc ldte of 129 miles per hour.
 The motor in the Packard special is four-inch bore and six-inch stroke, twelve cylinders of 905 cubic inches total capacity. The chassis is similar to that of the aeroplane car driven by Ralph De Palma but the motor is more than three times the size of that in De Palma's car and more than twice the size of that in the Packard Twin Six of stock type.

RIVERSIDE PARK

After hot and sultry week, River side park with it's big cool pool of fresh water will be the most favored spot in Phoenix today. Many family picnic parties have been planned, and from advance reports it would seem that the largest Sunday crowd of the season can be expected. There will he ample preparations to care for all who desire to make use of the bathing facilities.
 For tonight those who have formed the Riverside picture habit will be well repaid for a trip. They will be entertained by a sever-reel program all for one small dime. The feature is The Woman in White" starring Florence La Badie. It is a real nov city for two reasons: one because it is the only six-reel Pathe Gold Roost- CT play ever released, and the other because it is faithful photo drama tization of one of the most famous novels in the English language. Ev- erybody knows the famous book "The Woman in White and the name of Wilkie Collins, it's author is known wherever English is spoken. The pie ture was produced by Thanhouser and directed by Ernest Warde, whose work dS pTouuCtl pl lIe SupeT-ledluIe 1De Vicar of Wakefield" has placed him in the very front rank of directors. It was adapted for the screen by Lloyd Lonergan, creator of "The Mil lion Dollar Mystery" He has prob ably written more successful photo plays than anyone in the business. Park patrons will recall "Hinton's Double" with Frederick Warde, which was one of his latest successes.
 Features of the production are the beautiful photographic effects, sets ord scenery. There are scenes repre- senting a storm at night, which are equal to anything of their kind ever seen on the screen. In The Woman in White" Florence La Badie will be seen in the dual role of Laura Fairlie, the heiress and Ann Catherick, "The Woman in White" supported by a splendid cast including Richard R. Neill as Sir Percival Clyde, Arthur Bower as Count Fosco, J. H. Gilmour as Frederick Fairlie, Gertrude Dallas
