AMERICAN LEGION OF ARIZONA WILL BE
 ORGANIZED SHORTL Y

Arizona was represented by six del- egates at the convention of the Ameri- can Legion in St. Louis. These in- cluded Edwin P. Bernard of Tucson, M. E. Cassidy of Bisbee, John c. Greenway of Wafren, Alexander c. Baker of Phoenix, Fred Townsend of Phoenix, and Edwin LeBaron-of Mesa. There were 400 delegates in attend ance from every state in the country and all of our insnlar possessions.
 The next meeting will be held in Minneapolis in the month of Novem- Der. State meetings are planned and Tucson is out to get that of Arizona, according to MT. Bernard, who return ed Tuesday morning. It has been pro- posed that the representation in the Legion's conventions be fixed on the basis of twice the congressional repre- sentation, which would give this state six delegates. Each unit is to be called post, according to the plan.
 "The meeting breathed American ism," said Mir. Bernard. "The Legion was kept non-partisan in spite of at tempts to inject politics and the pro- hibition question"

RECORD OF EACH AUTO
 TO FOIL SKILLED THIEVES

Automobile stealing is becoming a highly developed art, and such grow ing one that insurance companies have united with the great manufacturing interests to stamp out the evil. Just as they classify the offenders as the amateur who steals to joy ride, and the professional who steals to sell, so the remedies they suggest may be di- vided into two classes. To foil the im- petuous, usually befuddled joyrider only a good lock is needed. Any standard make with the approval of the insurance companies will do. But to thwart the skilled auto thief locks are not enough; he is quite prepared to tow the car away-locks and all.
 The remedy that is really needed, they say, is national legislation that will remove the thief's incentive, that will make it impossible for him to sell the car. They would have the car &C., companied by a title or deed at every change of hands, like real estate, or other property.-Popular Mechanics.

AUTOMOBILE NEWS
COOPERATIVE TRUCK LINE IS OPERATED BY
 EASTERN FARMERS

The unusual success of a rural CO., operative experiment in Maryland has led the Department of Agriculture to suggest similar enterprises in other agricultural sections. The farmers in this venture, who all live about 25 miles from their consuming center, de- cided few years ago that the time, expense and manner of shipping their produce to market, and of securing supplies from the city, were all unsat- isfactory. So ten of their number secured from the state charter for a Farmers Cooperative Co.," intended primarily for transportation of farm produce, but enabled by the liberal terms of the charter to engage in all most any business.
 The company was capitalized by the sale of 200 shares of stock at $25 each, making it possible to buy a four-ton truck, hire an operator and start the service. As most members live along the main highway, they found it con venient to place their produce on small roadside platforms from which collec- tion was easy. And with low rates and quick service, the business grew, another truck was bought, and small receiving warehouse rented in the city.
 Cooperation in this field proving so successful, the company has tried CO., operative buying and selling. Mem bers notify the secretary of their own needs, he groups them, and buys in the city at wholesale rates. Good re- suits in selling have been eeffected, too; as in the case of the company's eggs, which reach the city in such fresh condition that the price is con- siderably increased. It must be re- marked that no attempt is made to deal directly with the consumer.
 The government warns that venture of this kind should be started only after thorough survey and analysis of the local situation. If, then, it seems we'll to proceed, careful thought must be given to the amount of capi- tai stock advisable, to the election of able directors, to the purchase of eff cient trucks, and to the choice of ex- pert, conscientious operators.-Popu- lar Mechanics.

Present indications point to the greatest season automobile racing has enjoyed for several yearA At the ban Quet of the A. A. A. contest board in New York all the promoters of the sea- sons races were represented and were busy canvassing the divers for entries to their meets. It was surprising the number of cars that would be avail able.
 Students of the race game attribute this to Indianapolis staging tits 500- mile classic again with the race on May 31. as every driver would rath- CT win the Hoosier classic, if he is an American, .han the French Grand Prix, while the foreigners feel almost the same way. It is pretty certain that Resta, Chevrolet, DePalma and oher stars will compete.
 Other Dates Set.
 Charley Johnson. owner of the Union town, Pa, speedway, was seeking driv- CTS, although the entry blanks for the opening race on May IT have not been sent out. CInclnnati's speedway will have its first race on July 5. Tacoma will probably stage its annual Monta- marathon on July 4.
 Chicago's speed enthusiasts have de cided to revive the famous road races over the Elgin course. although the ac- tual dates for the event have not been

FEN CHOU FU AN OLD TOWN

Even as time is counted in China, Fen Chou Flu is quite an old town. People were living there 2,0O0 years before the Christian era, and when the Manchus drove out the Mings, the defeated rulers took refuge in Fen Chou Flu and rebuilt it's city walls, although how long they stayed there the Twentieth Century traveller who describes the ancient city in a current magazine neglects to tell the reader. But they made the walls strong, and probably set up the great, long-legged bronze birds that perch on them. In the gateway two upright stones mark the width of vehicles permitted to en- ter the narrow, crooked streets, and everywhere the crows, hawks, magpies and whistling kites built their nests. An old odd city, Fen Chou Flu is, nev- ertheless, not altogether immune to outside influence. The traveller photo graphed Chinese wedding party, and atop his native habiliments the bride groom is revealed wearing derby hat.

MOTOR CAR DRIVERS KNOW

Any person who has gone out to drive around the country in his car on Sunday afternoon and has been bothered by sooty spark plugs, or a faulty distributor gap, or a sticky valve, or leaky radiator, of a balky oil pump, or grinding in the diffen- ential, or slipping clutch, or a short in the ignition, or a disturbance in the carburetor-any such person does not need to be told that the jump from Newfoundland to the Azores, over more than thousand miles of water, with no chance to stop at garage for repairs, is not going to be the most popular form of outdoor sport.

set. The windy city boosters also expect to put the Algonquin Hill Climb trophy, now held by Frank Kulick, back In competition. However, the site of tho event will likely be changed. as the roadmakers cut down the old hill some months ago.
 Revive . Reliability Tour.
 c. c. Sinsabaugh, who had the pros motion of the proposed Interclty Re- liability tour in hand two years ago, has assurances that he will be able to put 1t over this year. The Detroit Automobile club was to have competed In 1916, but was unable because of the war activities to give the time neces- sary to form team and enter. Slnsa- baugh expects entries from the fol- lowing cities: Detroit, Chicago. New York, Buffalo, Cleveland and Indian apolls. The tour will probably be a three-day affair, such as was proposed in 1916, starting and finishing in Buff falo.
 Another reliability tour that Is being promoted is from Los Angeles to the Atlantic. Heretofore transcontinental tours have been from the East to the West and the Californians have decid- ed to reverse the order and test the hospitality of the motorists and clubs they have entertained in the past.

MANY PACKARDS HERE

The Flagstaff Garage reports tre- mendous rush of tourists and campers and incidentally tell that one night nearly full of big Packard touring cars that came in separately. Mir. Gunter, of the firm, says the tourists are complaining of a thirty-mile stretch of road this side of Winslow, many of them making a detour to avoid it.

KITCHEN STOVE DISTILLERY
is RAIDED IN ATLANTA

Atlanta, May 2.-OffiCers of the in
ternal revenue department are longer
worrying over the secret still hidden
in the mountain Businesses of Geor-
gia. They are being troubled instead
over the secret stills in the dusty
blacknesses OF queer corners link the
city flats.
Which means that they will have to
begin to develop a new sense of de-
tention besides that which led their
feet in merring lines straight up the
winding cheek paths or under leafy
converts.
Discovery Of home still in the
heart of Atlanta yesterday has proven
that even the trusty stove must be
suspected hereafter, the still in ques-
ton being installed on the stove on
the premises at 6& West Cain street
which were raided by the military
police.
Everything was in readiness for the
turning out of the golden beverage
when the officers interrupted the
little booze manufacturing plan.
