LATE ADVICE ON
ROADS BY LOCKE

The chamber of commerce has re
ceived the following road information
! from Harry Locke.
1.-The route l followed was via Buck
eye, Salome, Bouse, Parker Needles
and Barstow, and I found the going
generally good throughout.
Under ordinary weather conditions
the roads are good from Phoenix to
the Hassayampa river. though during
rain they become very muddy and
rough until dragged ana dried. From
the river to Salome there is nothing to
preclude travel except during or af-
ter heavy rains, which seldom occur in
that region. At such times, however
a few dirt flats become Doggy and in
terfere with pleasant or successful
travel, though l doubt if there is any
occasion at any time for a car failing
to get through, This stretch is in bet
ter condition than | have ever seen it.
/ From Salome TO BOuse the going is al
ways good, and from Bouse to Parker
the same can be said with the excep-
ton of six miles only approaching
/ Parker, where the surfacing of the
sand has not been completed This
sand stretch should not stop any car
at any time, except when a motorist is
so unfortunate as to follow wagons or
Stock which ruin the ruts worn down
by the automobiles. I believe that this
bad condition will be eliminated at no
distant date.
Owing to recent rains it was neces-
sary for me to go to Needles via Vidal
which makes it a trifle longer, but the
road from Parker to Needles is in very
good condition and can be negotiated
at good speed at any time.
GAS you know. the cross country
motorists road troubles are over when
he reaches Needles from the 300 miles
required to reach Los Angeles are over
generally good highways, without a
single stretch that would form bar
rier to travel at any time of the year
Until work is done in both Arizona
and California between Imperial and
Salt River valleys, that route is not
practical for motor travel and should
be used only by those who have to go
that way for some specific reason.
THE option of reaching Salome via
Wickenburg always depends on local
weather conditions for, as you know,
the dirt flats between Hot Springs
junction and Peoria frequently pre-
clude any travel whatsoever. There is
very little difference in mileage or
| general cOHultloH on the ROAD 10 Sa-
lone, whether by Wickenburg or Buck
eye.
THE Automobile Club of Southern
California, and a great many others,
prefer the route via Mecca and Blythe
as it is far more direct, even though
the road conditions between Mecca
and Vicksburg are none too good in
! places. 1t seems. however, that the
E greatest amount of travel is favoring
| this route"

And now comes the word to Mr..
Maynard, resident Arizona representa-
tive for Harold L. Arnold that those
same young ladies literally had to
treat her rough" a hundred times a
day after they left civilization and
started across the arrow marked trail
made by Bob Battle. 'the woman
doubter," who had the nerve to back
his judgement with a thousand dollar
bet that no woman could drive an au-
tomobile to the DEVILS Punch Bowl.
To make it interesting, the car was
christened the IS. X. Arrow" and they
won the bet because the girls treated
the IS. X" rough and she went the
pace no matter where the arrows led.
Il have seen the steel that goes
into the Essex" said Mr.. Arnold and
know that there never has been a
car built with such strength of frame
and chassis. The body, too, is solidly
constructed and no amount of twisting
and pounding can phase it. That is
why told the girls to treat her rough,

MEXICAN PRESIDENT
HAS CADILLAC FLEET

Leo Weaver, seller of Cadillacs for
the Rabbit Brothers Trading COM
pany states that there is at least one
person in Mexico, who uses the most
excellent judgment-at least in the Sc
lection of motor cars.
He says: Probably the chief exec
utive of no country holds more alb
sorbing position than does President
Caranza of Mexico. For the last ten
years, there has been something con-
tinually turning up to disturb the peace
and quiet of that country. In order to
accomplish the numberless tasks set
for him, President Carranza must util-
ize each waking moment of his time
For this purpose, as well as any rec
reation, he might find time for, he en-
ploys his private fleet of 10 Cadillacs.

older of the two, was found in the

he had been arrested five times since
March II, 1917. He spent thirteen
months in the Elmira Reformatory
after conviction or grand larceny. He
also goes by the names of Garcia and

port from eastern Kentucky received
here tonight says that a posse of Of
ficers and gang of moonshiners
fought battle with rifles in the noun
tains of West Virginia to-day one on
each side being killed. The dead Of
hcer was John ktnnedy, deputy

The battle. according to the reports,
occurred in the mountains Of Logan
County, but only meager details had
reached here late tonight. Extended
raids had been carried out in the last
day. or two in the West Virginia
m mountains and in eastern Kentucky,
ard it is believed that the moonshin-
crs, fearing that their "business" was
about to be suppressed, made de-
termined stand.
Huntington. w Va, reports that
state prohibition officers and state
police made raid in the Hart Creek
territory in West Virginia., capturing
four men. Two of the largest stills
ever found in the mountains were de-
stroyed. One was siXty-gallon still.
The officers also destroyed eleven gal
Ions of whisky and 250 gallons of
mash
All the moonshiners captured had
rifles. but the officers got the drop on
them. Lieutenant Jones, in charge OF
the state police detachment, left Hunt
ington as soon as the men named were
locked up 1t is be ieved he has gone
on another raid. His destination is a
secret, however.
Kentucky revenue officers have been
unusually active this week. Two large
moonshine plants on the Rock Castle
County border have been destroyed and

the treatment OF the room. If the child

that Mother Goose wallpapers are one

Why do so many make the mistake of
placing such figures away up near the
ceiling where the child cannot possibly
see them and where the full force of col
or and outline Is lost2 A better plan is
to place such figures at height just
above the child's head. where he can
stand and look intimately at them, and
talk to them as if they were animate.

SAYS GEN. PERSHING
American Leader Expresses to E. c. Car
ter, Chief YIN. c. A. Secretary with
the A. E. F., His Appreciation
for the Splendid Work.

Paris, June 23.-The army has been
unreasonable atItimes in its expectations
from The Young Mems Christian assoca-
tion because the "Y' spirit of willing
ness made the doughboy take for grant
ed the associations ability to accomplish
results, General Pershing declares in
letter of commentator to Il. G. Carter,
chief Y. NJ. G. A. secretary with the
American expeditionary force.
'0n behalf of the A. +. f., desire to
express to you and TO your fellow work
ers my appreciation and thanks for the
splendid services which the Y NJ c. A.
has performed for the American army in
Europe" General Pershing's letter reads.
when the first contingents began ar
irving. the Y NJ. c. A. began that work
for the American soldiers which has ever
kept pace with the growth of the Amer
lean expedition force All the divisions
and most of the smaller organizations
have enjoyed its benefits and services.
Besides maintaining the usual recreation
huts, it has conducted canteens where
the men could purchase small supplies,
and in addition the Y. NJ. G. A. has
constantly distributed, without charge,
tobacco hot drinks and the like at the
front.
Another service of great value has
been the creation of and the work in
leave areas, where the problem of giving
the men occasional resptes from the
routine of army life has been solved. The
facts which made this possible have been
the recreationa facilities in the leave
areas. and especially the presence and
splendid assistance of the American
women with the Y. NJ. c. A.
"Other branches of your endeavor de-
serving OF special mention are those con-
nccted with education, entertainment
and athletics In each of these depart
ments the y Nj. &. A. has done excellent
work, but the features which ] have
mentioned do not begin to cover the ac-
tivities of the association, which has at
all times shown itself eager to undertake
any extension of its work to meet the
wishes of the military authorities This
spirit OF willingness has resulted in the
army's taking for granted much of your
society's ability to accomplish results,
and sometimes expecting more than was
reasonably allowable under the circum-
stances. In fact. yours has been the
same spirit which has animated the
American army and made possible its
contribution TO the successful conclusion
OF the war.
''As ! cannot address all of your work
ers personally | hope that you and they
will accept this letter as an expression
of my appreciation Of the splendid work
that you have done in France"

1t cannot be overemphasized in using
cntouts, to avoid the monotony of re-.
peating the same figure. No matter how
much the child likes Little Boy Blue"
his eyes will become tired if he sees rows
and rows of the same boy around the
room. Better to have Little Boy Blue
and Mary, Mary" and "old Mother
Hubbard" and one or two geese, each Of
which will become a real live figure to
the child's imagination.
Other interests of the child are, Of
course, animals and birds. So that nat
lmally room with these as features is
both bright and familiar. These cut
outs may be obtained from special wall
papers Or another plan is TO use plain
one-toned paper, as tan, gray, buff, light
green, for a background, and then have
the child himself cut out such pictures
as he would like TO see. There are to be
found in toy stores, at kindergarten
supply houses, sets Of birds, animals,
etc, in colors, about 8 to II inches high,
which form excellent esries for this
treatment. If it is not desired to paste
them, they may be carefully applied
with small thumb tacks as wished. This
method appeals especially to the child of
10 and over whose creative taste likes
to see itself expressed. Dorothy Dexter
