and almost out of sight. We fought
until 1890 that night and finally
reached Deming. There were places
where the exhaust pipe from the motor
was completely under water for over
300 yards.
I'VE slept that night at Deming and
this morning found us hitting it for
Ell Paso, where we arrived at 11:15,
the road between those two places be-
ing fairly good.
IF anyone speaks up to you and even
looks as if he thinks anyone in this
race is going to average 35 or 40 miles
an hour, choke him to death while he is
happy, for if he really believes so he
will be badly disappointed.
You talk about the Blue Bird being
racing car, well, she is a mud scow,
too. We doubled up with San An
tonic man in Buick at Rodeo. He
would pull us out one time and we
would pull him out the next, that is
about the only way both of us got
through. He had chains all around
and we had smooth tread Goodyear
Cords.
"The Blue Bird stood the trip fine
We never lifted the head except to
put in oil and the motor never got hot

pulling we had in the mud.
Everyone along the line treated us

went down to the Lone Star Motto

the car and one fellow started to tel

EVERY DEALER IN CITY BEHIND MOVE
TO MAKE SHOW A SUCCESS, OUTSIDERS
TO BRING CARS FOR BIG EXHIBITION

The Automobile Show to be held in Phoenix during
Fair Week. promises to be exhibition second only to
that of the state fair Elaborate plans have been under
way for tme but it has been only within the past
few days that anything definite could be announced.
Practically every dealer in Phoenix and out
sders will be represented Cars of any make hard to
ge but every effort is being made to the best
hibits possible There is doubt but that practically
every car used in the southwest will be on exhibition

lot of noise. The car has a disc
clutch running in oil, but this part
seems to work all right. A. The play
is probably between the shaft and the
shaft level. There is no adjustment
for this. You would have to renew
the parts. The jerky motion is caused
by the backlash being taken up and re-
leased alternately. You need new
shafts or bevels or both. l would also
be inclined to think that the driving
pinion and the ring gear are not mesh
ing properly owing to wear in the gear.
@. Lately when I start my car and
let the clutch in there is a very loud
noise that comes from the clutch Just
as let it in; you might call it a ter
rifle squeak. 1t is a leather cone clutch.
A Without doubt dry leather. Treat
the leather with neatsfoot oil.

number of prominent Richmond bust
ness men. Paul Jamarik president
or OF the Czecho- Slovak League OF
America, was present and gave a few
details of the conditions. commercial

been SO recently released from Mag

Mr.. Pergler issued warning
against German propaganda which
Will destroy the confidence OF Amer

which assured his hearers that Bohe-
mia would have to be considered ycri-
ously in the commercial life Of the
world. since 1t was the industry in
Prague and other Czecho- Slovak cities
which formed the backbone Of Aus
ia-Hungary before the war.
The principal INDUSTRIES he named
Included the manufacture OF textile
goods, the making OF hardwood furnI-
ture and others. Cotton for the ia
nous Bohemian lace will all come
from the southern states Of America

hold after things settle down over

trade for that section of Europe.
Mr.. Pergler was very anxious to
create general interest in Rich
mond regarding trade with a new ma
ton which is fighting Bolshev!sm by
giving her people plenty to do and
enough to eat.
AS long as this condition pre-
va's, said the commissioner. "Bo-

materials. 1t will do us both rvod

BUT there are other reasons why we
have come today. A large number OF
our people have found haven of
rest and prosperity within the sber-
ders of your great state. They have
found here the equality of opportun-

them in their own native land. Some
lime ago a virginian publication paid,
the following tribute to Czecho-
Solvaks in Virginia:

better class Of people to bring into
America from Europe than the Bo-
hemfaris. Almost without exception
they are hardwOrking. honest. thrifty,

rose. The farm of the average Be-
hemian in Prince George. where the
majority OF them are located. Is
model OF neAtness. producuveness,
and thrift.
"One Of the best known business

Gently that he had sold many thou
