MOVABLE MOVIES. ARE
NEAR THE FRONT NOW

At the Italian Front-(by mail)-
Onee Of the problems with which the
American Red Cross has dealt in the
zone of war is the question of amuse-
ment for the soldiers who are 3acri-
ficing their lives for the cause Of civ
ilization.
The men who are sustaining and
advancing the lines not only deserve
recreation, but they absolutely re-
quire 1t in order to bear the nerve
strain of their grim task. This relaxa-
ton is furnished by rest houses, can
teens Where American coffee and
American jam are served, even in the
a more recent innovation under she'll
fire is the moving picture show. This
idea is fast becoming a reality through
establishment of portable cinema ma
chimes which can be carried around
from one to another Of the American
automobile especially fitted for the
purpose, giving entertainments at each
stop. These cinematograph outfits will
be placed on Ford chassis and COM
pletely equipped for their purpose.
The plan is still a new one, which
is being perfected by the military at
fairs department of the A. r. c. One
equipment of this sort has already
been purchased consisting of an Aster
meter, a. moving picture machine and
supplementary material. Other outfits
will follow. Films have been promised
from various sources, and it is hoped
to establish regular supply Of pic
lures. Perhaps there will not be
Broadway standard Of perfection in
these dugout movies, but it will be as
near it as the workers can make it.
There is one American Red Cross
lieutenant in charge of a rolling can
teen at the Italian front who has al
ready forestalied the plan for por-
table moving picture exhibition by es-
tablishing his own private show at his
front line rest house. Lieutenant
, Waterbury has found a comparatively
sheltered corner near his canteen,
where he has installed moving pic
ture machine, temporarily loaned to
him by the Italian military authorities
The constant guns and the occasional
bursting of shells from a realistic
orchestral accompaniment to the show.
1t is very popular with the Italian
soldiers during their short hours Of
release from trench and battery ser
vice.

eAReEs ON DRAINAGE CANAL


In years to come September 81 may
be celebrated as an epoch making day
in Chicago's maritime history for or
that day the first fleet OF barges, un-
der their own power. set out for their
maiden journey from Chicago down
the drainage canal.
Z The fleet consisted OF one steam
barge and two others in tow, loaded
with about three hundred barrels Of
salt and a large quantity of rock salt,
consigned to La Sale. Ill. At La Sale
the fleet takes on cargo OF coal to
bring back to Chicago.
1t was something OF an occasion, for
it was the fruition OF Is years OF
earnest endeavor by a number of
forces which are convinced that the
greater expansion of the nations COM
merce lies through the building and
use OF waterways.
The start was made with consider
able caution. For instance, the motive

cargo. The tail end barge OF the train
ran empty. It was for this reason

BASEBALL MAGNATES
FACE KNOTTY PROBL EMS.

New YorE.>ss...ior league baseball
magnates face 4 lsnotty prop.-cm at the
coming annual meetings when =, .4ay
will be called upon to decide the status
OF the player at present under con-
tract or reserve. Very few of the club
owners hold the opinion, apparently,
that it will be possible to resume
league operations next spring. If such
proves TO be the case and there are
would appear that the majority Of
players who figured In the 1918 PEN
nant races will not receive contracts
during the early months Of next year.
According to the present system it
jig mandatory upon the clubs to renew
their options or reserve clause upon
players not later than January / each
year and to follow this action by mall
ing contracts to the players not later
than February I. It Is extremely
doubtful il this procedure will be fol-
lowed in 1919. Under the ordinary
his contract by March 1, would become
free agent and upon the resumption
OF big league baseball would be in a
position to sell his services to the
highest bidder.
It is understood, however, that the
magnates will hold that the business
of baseball was suspended under in
structionS from the government and
that since the right to operate was be-
yond their control all contracts and
other legal phases are suspended auto
matically Under this construction the
contract Of the player carries over I'M
til such time as the government gives
consent for renewal OF the business
Of baseball. Thus if the professional
leagues do not resume until 1920, the
year Of 1919 would be considered as
nonexistent in SO far as it might af-
feet nl8vor'S contract
There is still another angle to the
proposition which involves the mag
mates and the two major leagues as in
dividuals ard cooperating business or
CARNATIONS. 1t might be held to be
within their rights to refuse to nego-
tate with or for the services Of a
player who, previously to the suspen-
sion of the. game, was the property OF
another club. II such action were gem
orally adopted the player would be
obliged to report back to his original
club for renewal OF his contract or a
release II he desired to reenter play in
either of the big leagues.

NEW AUTO CLUB |S MANAGED BY
 LOCAL DEALERS
Membership Campaign for New Auto Organization Is Begun; Quinn Leaves
 On Tour of Inspection

Last week saw the beginning of an organization which will fill a long felt want in Arizona. Following along the lines of the Automobile club of southern California the Automobile Club of Arizona was formed. The purposes of the club are not of so- cial order; but to carry out the many practical things which have been suc- cessfully accomplished by similar clubs in other states.
 In a general way the business of the new club will be:
 To unite for cooperation purposes the automobile owners of Arizona
 To secure improved road conditions.
 To promote the interests and com- fort of local visiting motorists by the proper logging and marking of roads and by the accurate weekly reporting of road conditions throughout the state.
 To cooperate in the prevention and detection of auto thieving. To promote the improving and uni- | formity of traffic regulations through | out the state.
 The following have identified them | selves with the movement and hold offices until the next big meeting of | the club which is planned for the last Monday of next month: Carl H. An- | derson, president; F. H. Redewill, J. | C.. Adams, vice presidents; G. w. l Quinn, secretary and treasurer; W. w. Lawhon, Edward Rudolph, c. D. Mess 1 ner, c. de Sales Wheeler, P. W. Grif- fen, Donald Dunbar, J. R. McAleer, w.
 R. Wayland. Charles McArthur and A. A Trippel.
 l Automobile owners to a man seem desirous of Arizona having a big suc-
 cessful club" says G. w Quinn, who | has the job of enrolling members. ] Several members in addition to the
 above named officers have already en- | rolled, notwithstanding the fact that
 the ink is scarcely dry on our mem l bership cards. As the club is to be a | statewide organization, I am now starting on an auto trip throughout the state, and on this trip will enroll the leading enthusiasts and thus form the fabric of the complete organization
 At our next meeting, from the | member enrolled in the meantime will
 be elected officers for the ensuing year, and a big drive will be conducted to bring the membership up to the
 thousand mark, which we ought easily
 be able to do this year. The auto- mobile club of southern California has a membership of over twenty thousand. It has been in existence for over six years, and the work that club has done in marking roads and improving
 conditions generally for autoists is a
 source of admiration to people from
 all parts of the world. have travelled
 considerably throughout Arizona, and
 a self imposed duty will be to com pile a number of auto tours abundant
 in points of historic, and romantic in- terest, as well as of scenic grandeur
 which will be available to the travel ing public through the medium of ouI club.'

RUDOLPH PROMISES
 NJ DIFFICULTY IN
 OBTAINING PARTS

Immediate delivery, for the present at least, of Ford Cars does not sound as though the proposed thirty per cent cut in passenger car output had been put into effect, yet this is the announcement that is now be- ing made by Ed. Rudolph, and it is splendid justification of the opti- mism that this progressive motor car dealer has continued to display since
 the first rumors of decrease in pas
 senger car production.
 Ed. Rudolphs attitude in doubling
 the present capacity of his Phoenix
 quarters, obtaining a floor space of
 approximately thirty thousand square
 feet. and erecting a new building at
 Glendale, affording nearly fifteen
 thousand square feet of floor space,
 should be worthy of emulation by
 every motor car dealer in the south
 west.
 If motor car dealer in this or any
 other section is going to sit around all day tipped back in his chair, and vail over possible adverse conditions, he may expect his entire organization to do the same, and when a sales man of that house goes out to see a prospect, they will have a fine con- versaton about how terrible the war is for his business, instead of the salesman showing the business man that the motor car is the only way l that he has to speed up his busi-
 ness and make more money to help support the war

DORT CONSTRUCTION
 PLEASES WHITE SOX
 MANAGER, WHO BUYS

Dort distributors and dealers from coast to coast are elated over the news from Chicago that Clarence Rowland, manager of the worlds champion White Sox baseball club, has pur- chased a Dort Fourseason Sedan for the personal use of himself and Mrs. Rowland.
 It appears that Rowland first be- came interested in the Dort at the Chicago automobile show, where he spent an entire day looking over the various cars and comparing their re- spective merits.
 Following the same thorough method that enabled him to build up an invincible baseball machine, Row. land followed up his visit to the show by visits to various automobile sales rooms and factories and a close con- parative study of specifications.
 T wanted a small car one that not only myself, but also Mrs. Rowland could handle without difficulty" says Rowland. T wanted it to be a good looking car, a simple car mechanically and comfortable car to ride in. I was attracted first to the Dort through a claim in the company's literature ot efficiency without waste The word efficiency means whole lot to me and I immediately thought that if it could be found in a certain car at lower cost and upkeep than in other cars, that certain car would be good buy for me.
 T decided to give the Dort people an opportunity to prove efficiency without waste and, to put it in nu shell, they made good all along tn, line. I went to the factory and saw Dorts built; met the men that buil( them; talked with owners about theil experiences: I gave the car itself :; complete try out. Then I made my purchase"

Willys-O Overland Official
 Takes Interesting Trip
 Through Central Idaho Description of Scenery

One of the most wonderful and picturesque automobile trips in Amer ica, and at the same time. one of the least known, was recently taken by Frank c.

In speak ing of his trip yesterday Riggs said: "There are few tours in the United States which give the automobilist such a kaleidoscope of climate ana scenery in so short a distance as that over which I recently travelled.
 "We left Salt Lake about noon and drove. north via ogden through the Bear River Valley and crossed the State line into Idaho the same evep- ing.
 When we arrived at Rupert the fol- lowing morning we were surprised to see dwelling houses without chimneys. It was a most unusual sight, and we wondered how the residents could get
