Arizona can well be proud of her scenic attractions" said George Coch ran, chief of the Pacific fleet of the Goodrich tire testing cars on their recent run to this state. Take the Apache Trail for instance. In all my extensive travelling throughout the country have seen few places that can stand comparison with it's wild picturesque magn!ficence."
 The Pacific tire testing fleet is one of six squadrons of cars in as many different sections of the coun try pounding the roads sixteen hours every day so that the tires may be tested under actual road conditions such as are experienced by the average motorist.

water one soon finds himself in the midst of a scenic paradise bearing the most fantastic of names. In this region is Mormon Flat where a party of Mormon immigrants was massa- cred in the early days. From Mor mon Flat passes in rapid succession Whirlpool Rock. Black Canyon, and then Apache Gap. It was on this 1 spot that Lieut.. Lawton of the Sev- enth U. S. cavalry defeated the I Apaches in 1886.
 The next point of interest is Su- ! perstition mountain. Mysterious in aspect and weirdly carved against the sky, it was feared by the Indians
 who held ceremonies and sacred l dances at it's base every year
 It is indeed a wonderful trip, one i lncver orgotten-bringing forth a gasp of delight at every turn. The B. F. Goodrich Rubber company is planning to mark the trail with its guide posts, such as are used on mosl every road in the country. This vii prove a great help to tourists, ant i should result in noticeable increase
 in traffic upon the Aapache Trail. The Grand Canyon, that sceni,
 wonderland that defies description

 Such slips at critical moments, at corners or in traffic, involve certain amount of risk and may easily result in serious accidents.
 The Goodyear Tire and Rubber company calls attention to the fact that car drivers feet will not slip from new pedals, or old, if their shoes are soled with Neolin.
 Neolin is the new synthetic sub stance discovered m the Goodyear lab- ora'0ries which is rapidly replacing leather soles on mems, women's and ,hildren's shoes. One of it's strongest

 Neolin is not rubber, and contains no fibre. It is an entirely new suh- stance, with rubbers waterproof qual- ities that have already so proved themselves that Goodyear has con tracts with over 400 American shoe manufacturers for it's use, replacing leather.
 Neolin's big introduction was made possible by the rapid advance of sole leather in the last few years-and now that it is in general use, bids fair to largely replace leather for shoe sole purposes. At any rate it certainly

and one group or party in the past
has not been one whit better than

He then tells of board of re-

time he defended a faculty member
whom he considered was being I'M
fairly criticised. "This led to a
discussion. Mr.. crawford asked
me to resign as president of The

The United States government
has decided to weed out the |. w.

German or German influence is
concerned. Investigation by gov
,rnment authorities at Seattle.
Wash, show a large percentage Of
the industrial workers to be alien
Germans, and in order to put Il
quietus OH some of the rough work
that has been very much in evil
dcnce throughout the country. the
government has decided to intern
all alien Germans who are connect
ed with the l. w. w. organization.
Since the |. w. w. organization
was first launched some years ago
there has been certain disturbing
clement connected with it which
lent its influence to many of the
labor troubles and riots which have
taken place throughout the coun-
try. and the stand the government
officials at Seattle have recently
taken to handle the situation is
timely and commendable. This is
no time for labor agitators to get
OH the job and create feeling of
unrest among workmen. We are
unable to quote one instance where
the !. w. w. organization have not
caused trouble in their so-called at.
tempts to better labor conditions.

Formal Dedication of Navy

An event of great interest at TIE
aeronautic station during the past
--eek was the formal opening and
dedication of the new Y. M. c. A.,
which has just been reconstructed
after the storm of September 10th.
when it was wrecked.
The exercises took place Wednes-
day night, and the new building was
crowded to capacity, not only by the
men of the service. but by scores
of their Pensacola friends who Sc
cured permission to attend the cere-
mony.
The occasion was featured by ad-
dresses delivered by Captain Ben
nett, commandant of the aeronautic
station, and F. M. Richardson, state
secretary for Alabama.
Following is the program which
was rendered:

after a time of comparative ST.

ister af It's head are renewing their

before. Did the change concern only
the policy of the United Kingdom, it
would merit little attention in Amer

construction are likely to be duplicat-

Recent events on the battlefronts
prove conclusively, If such proof wee
indeed necessary, that upon central1-
zation of power depends the success
of anihsary operations. That is the
idea, behind the War Council spon-

AS far as aviation is concerned as
branch of the service, this centrali-

and permit greater development than
is now possible, but at the same time
it would necessarily mean its separa-

establishment Of specially trained Of

the general scheme of single power
more difficult of operation.
