This morning about 10 o'clock a
Ford car, belonging to Mr.. c. r.
Ford, caught fire while being filled
with gasoline at the Dixie Highway
garage. The Fire Department was
quickly on the scene and extinguished
the flames before any great damage
was done. 1t appears that Roger
Ford asked to have a certain amount
of gas placed in the car, and the tank
cverflowed. At the same moment a
man standing nearby, lighted ciger
and threw the match under the car
Flames Immediately shot up, snd Gu
veloped the front end of the car. Some
Ct the woodwork was burned away
and also the upholstering, but luckily
the tank did not explode, and the car
was saved.

LOCAL TAXI MEN ADD
NEW CAR TO SERVICE

L. E Butler and L. H. McClanehan
have put new ideas into the heads of
the taxi riding people of Phoenix.
They somehow heard that the LaSalla
Hotel of Chicago and several of the
taxi companies of eastern cities were
using Knight cars exclusively, and i'll
order not to have Phoenix outdone,
they purchased yesterday from the
Overland Arizona company a WHY'S
Knight Sedan. This car is to be placed
in the taxi service on Washington
street opposite Donofrio's. Speaking
of this car, Mr.. Hotchkiss of the Over
land Arizona company says that any
one in Phoenix having in his posses
sion four bits is the equal in one way
at least to the King of Spain. King
Alfonso has a fleet of six WHY'S
Knight cars. sbut even so it is impossi-
BILE for him to ride in more than one
of them at one time-any Phoenician
possessing the said four bits can do
the same thing at any time he desires.
AS to finish and equipment, this Sc
dan stands without a peer-Spring-
field body, Marshall cushions. canti-
lever springs, Federal cord tires,
double windshield, electric heater and
lights, vanitay cases, cigarette case
and lighter-in fact, it possesses ev-
erything known in the way of automo-
bile luxury, even down to side light

Within ten Tnfn,etes sSter N appnca-
ton of Dandts.ze "a ca Tot find
single trace of danrduff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at first-yes--but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time. The effect is Advantageous hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxur-
lance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and
|. lots of it if you will just try a little

GREAT REJOICING,
LAST DEBT PAID ON
FIRST NJ. {. CHURCH

Great. joy is in the hearts of the
members of the First Methodist church
this morning A 2O-year-old debt has
been liquidated and nothing now
stands in the way of a dedication,
which is said to be in the planning.
The membership of the First Meth
odist Episcopal church are rejoicing
because last week the last payment on
the Indebtedness of the church was
paid.
About two years ago, under the lead.
ership of the pastor, Mr.. Ray C. Har-
ker, a plan was worked out and notes
secured to cover this entire indebted
ness, the last payment falling due last
week
In the past year and a half the
membership of the First Methodist
church has been liberal in supporting
all drives, including Liberty loans, Red
Cross, Y. NJ. C. A, United war work
and War Savings Stamps, and they
are doubly delighted because they have
been able to meet this obligation, when
they did not know that they were go
ing to be called upon for SO many
patriotic contributions.

A Little Talk
About a Lot Of
.FiinePanelDoors

l would have everybody look at every
panel door they see anywhere. Look
at the most beautiful panel doors you
have ever seen. If you have fine panels
in your own home or see them any
where, think about what they cost you
or ask the owner what they cost. 1t
doesn't matter what the answer is you
who are needing one, two or five
panel doors now can have just as fine
ones as you have ever seen at as rea-
sonable price as you have always paid
for common door. I have one thous-
and and four hundred of them in
twenty different sizes from two feet
by six feet to three feet by seven feet
at from two dollars and fifty cents to
three dollars and fifty cents each.
Most of the 2.6x66 and 2.Sx6.S, the
sizes most commonly used are only
$3.50 and $500 EACH
Ladies and gentlemen are invited to
inspect these doors and if you are 60
ing to build within a year it will pay
you to buy your door now.
