Too Much Speed

T keep seeing accounts of automo- bile accidents in which cars are wrecked and men and women either maimed or killed said P B.

Some people when they get in a car seem to want to go at break neck speed. l manage to get about fast enough without imperiling my own or the lives of others. man can drive at a mod crate speed in an automobile and then so three or four times as fast as if he was driving a horse.

START MOVE TO AID
 STRANDED AUTOS

Reports that numerous motor cars, most from this state, were stranded between Phoenix and tho eous- met ready action by the directors of the chamber of commerce yesterday.
 For several days fragmentary reports have been received here of automobiles stranded on the road between Los An geles and Phoenix, particularly be- tween this city and Parker and Ehren- berg. Investigation through the oil stations along the route failed to verify the reports, all stations reporting con- ditions satisfactory.
 At it's meeting yesterday, the cham Der of commerce appointed a commit tee consisting of c. E. Beach, c. O. Van Valer. H. D. McVay, G. H. Reuben, Charles A. Stauffer and W. S. Colds worthy to make thorough investiga- tion of the rumors.
 In addition to appointing the local committee. the chamber wired to the Auto Club of Southern California as follows:

R|CH CARGO GUARDED; TRUCK LOAD IF FILMS |S ON NAY ID PHOENIX

Regular truck service between Phoe- nix and Los Angeles for the purpose of bringing motion picture films to Arizona was established last night. A truck load of films, according to a wire received by Richards and Mace left Los Angeles last night for Needles. A truck left here at midnight piloted by A. R. Cavaness bound for Needles, where it will pick up 40 cases of films and return to Phoenix.
 The Famous Players-Lasky Motion Picture corporation is the instigator of the unique service. It is the first time in the history of the industry, according to local motion picture men, that such a valuable cargo has been intrusted to a motor car on the desert. Richards and Mace have been ap- pointed state distributors for the emergency. All films will be consigned to them and they will ship them out by rail from here to Globe, Miami, Douglas, Tucson and intermediate points.
 The truck which left Los Angeles last night expected to reach Needles this evening. The Phoenix truck will not be far behind it. There are enough films in town to keep the theaters going until Cavaness returns with his precious cargo.
 The value of the load of films is away up in the thousands of dollars, | it is stated. Armed guards rode on the car through California and it is expected that Cavaness will bring them on in to Phoenix with him.

AUTO STAGE LINE ID
 COAST START STODAY

A way to Los Angeles and back will be opened this morning by the Union Auto Stage company which will op- crate a line between Phoenix and the coast at least until the strike is over. The fare one way will be $40, some considerable advance over the rail fare, but it is agreed that considering the roads, the rate is not an exorbitant one. It is expected that at first the traffic Phoenixward will be the heavier.
 The proprietors of the stage com pany yesterday called up the state corporation commission to know what 1t might have to say about the new enterprise. The reply was that inas- much as tho business would be inter state it was without the jurisdiction of the corporation commission except as to the character Of the equipment for safety
 The cars to be used are large ones and will carry six passengers.

The hourshing conditions now exist
ing in the jewclry industry are re-
flected in the fact that there were onlv
ten failures in the industry during the
month of July. Collections are good in
all sections of the iewery trade and
reports show jewellers all over the
country arc looking ahead to a big fall
and winter trade, The main problem
of the manufacturers now is to get
sufficient skilled workmen to turn out
the merchandise wanted by retailers
Shortage of material is also hindering
the trade, although shipments during
the week were better than for some
time past
Importers are having considerable
difficulty in the shipping of diamonds
from the foreign mark kets to the United
States because Of the prolonged marine
strike abroad. Many of these import
ers have purchased large quantities of
the stones but, due to the strike. ship
ments have been held up and as a re-
suit the diamond supply has diminished
greatly.
Jewelry manufacturers continue to
find it difficult to obtain adequate sup
plies of semi-prccious stones The

Cotton Goods

Comparative shortages of stocks
'onded to limit business in the cotton
GOODS market virtually to buying by
dealers and converters of goods for
immediate use. Manufacturers, as a
whole. have sold their fall productions
nd did not consider sales on the
nasis of future delivery. The small
sjocks made it incumbent upon jobbers
to give first attention to old customers,
nd sales OF this character usually
we're made only to those hard pressed
or goods
This condition has had noticeable
cifect IN decreasing speculation. With
the, mills no longer affording a market,
Jobbers contining sales to old custom
ers and brokers remaining passive in
their activities, the speculative clement
operated only with stocks acquired
some time ago.
Glnghams proved to be particularly
desirable both in the domestic and
export market. Converters were ex-
ertlng every effort to obtain this fab
ric for printing. and inquiries point to
a highly successful season next spring.
Foreign buyers. especially those from
the scandinavian countries. were in the
market taking almost every stock Of
tered and asking for delivery at any
date.
While the entire trade is enthusias
tic over the huge demand throughout
the country for cotton goods, there is
evident in some of the conservative
quarters tone of apprehension. These
interests confess a preference for
more stable market, a lowering of
prices. which they acknowledge are
too high IN some cases. and the return
OF conditions that permit business to
be regulated on certain estimate of
future demands.
1t is maintained that under exist
ing circumstances future business can
not be sanely predicted, and some of
the manufacturers are withdrawing
iAbrlcs that are classed as novelties
with the announcement that their
operations will be strictly confined to
the production of staples. All interests
confess that the future of the cotton
goods business will be vitality sinfu-
enced by developments in the national
economic situation.
;, Gray goods moved along narrow
lines. Brokers did not have MANY re-
quests for this fabric. and the market
remained firm at 1872 cents. Small
stocks in second-hands were disposed
Of during the week at prices ranging
from one-quarter to three quarters Of
q cent below the market
