 WORK WELL HERE

In the recent distribution of motor trucks by the United States govern ment there were several International Motor trucks released to the state of Arizona Of this quota two were put in use for the construction of the Mt. Lemon highway, which is under super vision of the firm of Littlejohn & Sin gleton.
 Relating the performance of these trucks MT. Singleton was very enthus- iastic over the ruggedness of his trucks.
 The conditions that surround this particular section are the most severe that could be accorded any motor ve- hicle. Consequently trucks undergo such test that it is only a matter of short time until it's true merits are established.
 MT. Singleton stated that it was es- sential to have trucks for this class of work that could be depended on thirty days a month, twelve months in year. and that International exceeded all ex- pectations.

INDIANA MAKES GREAT RECORD
 ON HARD TOUR

C. A. Macon, state distributor for the Indiana Truck, with headquarters at the new Apache Garage, has just received a most remarkable letter from c. G. Barley, president of the h. dian Truck Corporation, manufactur- CTS of the Indiana Truck, which has been causing such a sensation over the country.
 The letter describes in detail a trip made by an Indiana truck from its home Marion, Ind- to San Francisco. The big truck went through with a 100 per cent record, and outside of two blow outs and fan belt slipping, did not have even a sign of trouble The Indiana was the first truck to ever travel the Lincoln highway to the coast without a convoy 10 help out in the pinches. This truck had no such ad- vantage, it had to go through on it's own power or stay behind. For hours and hours it would blow through sand on the desert on low speed using ev- cry ounce of power it had, but going just the same
 At this period pleasure cars were having plenty of trouble. The party on the truck saw not less than 30 aban- 
 and san Francisco.
 We travelled the same route the Motor Transport Corps travelley" says the letter. They had a military foul wheel drive and they also had cater pillar tractor to pull them through lots iof places. One day they only made two miles. The poorest day we had was 2S miles and the best was 176 miles. We actually made an average from Marion to San Francisco of be- tween 13 to IA miles hours per mile driving time.
 We travelled over eight divides that were 7500 feet or higher I am satisfied that although we didn't count them. we must have climbed over five Hundred mountain ranges.
 'NThe trip was huge success from every standpoint, but the most re- markable part of the whole affair was the performance of the truck" Mir. Macon. the local distributor. is in a position 10 supply Arizona com lpanies with one and a quarter, two, two and half, three and half, and five ton trucks. He believes that he ,has one of the best makes on the mar Tket. and is positive that they will make a good record for themselves in Arizona even as they did % the trip across the country. His temporary quarters are at the New Apache, but he expects to have new and commodi- our quarters within a short time.

 Smith was offered as the victim to Parisian fight fans in celebrating Car pentier return to the ring after 5- year absence He was completely out classed. Carpenter dominating the situa- ton thro ghout. The fourth round alone was about even. Smith was down for a count of seven in the third. and took a count of in the fifth.
 The Frenchman seemed anxious for a prompt knockout He fought fiercely, leaving openings which might have been taken advantage Of by a more clever op- ponent. Carpenter appeared little short of condition, and some line was oo- tained on this evenings showing regard ing his chances in gruellipg battle.
 Fred Fulton challenged the winner.
 The assembly was more spectacular than the fight itself, beautiful women Tn gorgeous gowns and men in evening dress cheering Carpenter, and Fonck and Nun- gesser, the aviators, when they were ln- troduced. It was more like social func- tion than prize fight and the crowds went home happy that the French ldo had not been dethroned.

Aliens Barred in Britain
By JOHN STEELE

to report his every movement to the po- lice, as he had to do in wartime. but he will have to procure an identity cer- tfcate and will have to register at the police station for the district where he lives. If he moves his residence to a rev district he must notify the police in both districts and if at any time he is absent from his residence for continu- ous period of two months he must notify the police at his permanent and his temporary residence. Surely this is no great hardship for a lawabiding for elgner.
 These are the principal provisions of the order in council which affect the or dirary American or other foreigner visit inr Britain There are a number of other clauses giving the authorities power to set aside certain areas in which for eigners may rot reside without a special permit and in which they may not ac- quire land This is aimed, of course, at protecting military and naval areas rom espionage. It was discovered, for in stance. soon after the great war began. that a good many commanding sites in military and naval areas were owned by Germans or by persons of doubtful na- tsnality Eneland is determined that this shall not happen again
 The system of passports. of course, will be maintained and I do not think that any American who has learned 10 redi- ize the uses of a passport in foreign country in times of disturbance. ever Will want to travel. without one. Those who do probably will be persons who do not wish to attract the attention of the state department to their existence.
 Let me return again to the subject of the administration of the restrictions during the wlr From time to time let ters from indignant Americans have ap- reared in the British newspapers com plaining bitterly of having to report their every movement to the police. The an swer to that was that if they were tran sent visitors they had to put up with the restrictions necessary under war con ditlons. If they were more or less per marent residents in England nothing was ca sier, if they could satisfy the police of their responsibility and their loyalty to the cause of the allies, than to oo- tain a special permit exempting then from reporting unless they were absent from their residences for more than a month This is the system that is now heinz introduced generally, except that the period of grace is extended to tive months.

 But those who are best informed say first: that it is inevitable that offerings
 which in the aggregate will be very large of foreign securities will be made
 to American investors and second; that
 the terms will be so advantageous that
 if those who are in authority approve of these securities as safe, then Ameri-
 can capital will inevitably be tempted
 to invest in these securities. The be-
 lief is that it will not be difficult, 1T
 the terms are right to place In the United states the hundreds Of millions

 Association
LoCAI-BY WIRE

The travelling men or Birmingham in
 tend to pull off the biggest and best
 stunt" of the year. when they play
 their annual game of baseball on August
 i6 The T. P. A. and U. C. T. are rivals
 of long and ancient standing. and there
 is sure to be smoke when they meet
 on the gory field of baseball
 As all proceeds go to the Anti-Tuber-
 culosis association, the Travellers arc
 anxious to dispose of as many tickets as
 possible The aim set oy the committee
 in charge of the game is the sale of 10000
 tickets. which, if sold, will net 5000 for
 the Anti-Tuberculosis association. This
 is high aim, but the travellers intend to
 do their best toward accomplishing it.
 Plans are being made Tor special com
 mittees to canvass the business part of
 the city, and sell as many tickets as
 possible to each mercnant. The ki- wanians and the Rotarians are said to have pledged to take -arge number of
 tickets to the game. The churches will
 also be looked after. Each church will be sold as many tickets as they will buy.
 The business men of Birmingham are expected to do their null share toward making the affair d uuccess. The pro ceeds go for a worthy cause, and the game is not intended a money maker for any but the Anti-1ubercuios1s aSso- citation. When the committee calls on a
 merchant of Birmingham, he is expected to buy as many teikets as he can af- ford.
 The following men have charge of all arrangements of the game: Charlie Abrams, general chairman; B. r. Will kinson, chairman of the finance commit tee: & A Mitchell, chairman of the press committee, T. B. Marshall, chairman of the ticket committees W, R.

 Little Rock and New Orleans both of whom lost yesterday are battling each other this afternoon in the Arkansas vil- lage. The Pels are two and a half games ahead which means that Elberfeld's team win have to make a clean sweep of the series in order to supplant the league leaders.
 The Barons play double bill with the Loolouts in Chattanooga this afternoon and we expect to be among those present at the hostilitfes Morrison and Coninaf- fer will be opposed by Vines and Noel or Lehman.
 Sat" Summa made himself solid with the bugs yesterday by lining out a pretty single in the seventh that brought old Slap home with the deciding tally. Sum- ma is fast as lightning and he showed some of his speed in getting down to first on a bunt in the third frame.
 The Barons went through a game with out an error but they had to set new record to do it Not single assist did the local inf1elders have, a phenomenon which some point to as the reason for the perfect fielding day
 Everybody was pulling for the Barons yesterday and not a single knocker could be heard from the press box. That's the kind of spirit that wins boys.

Lcndon, June 4-(Special )-England is no longer the happy hunting ground of the alien. She has not been, of course, in war time, but a good many aliens con- fdently expected that as soon as peace conditions returned the old happy days when a foreigner was as free to live in England and move about England and Incidentally to make trouble for England as if he were native born would come back again That hope has been pole axed by d new order in council. which has the effect of law, dealing with the alien problem, which has just been pro- nulgated.
 Let me say in the beginning that as an alien I have no fault to find with the restrictions now imposed, which are a ri oditication of the wartime restrictions. The wartime rules were a bit vexatious at times. but no we'll conducted and friendly alien had any real cause to grumble The British police, who were charged with the administration of the various control orders, made them as easy as possible Of course. there were some t.nes irritations. One ran up against an occasional stupid or officious police man, but a complaint in the right quar- ter soon caused nm to see the HSnl have never had any sympathy with the Americans and others who demanded thst they should be exempted from all control and supervision.
 The new rules are really closely copied,
 in part at least from the American inn migration laws. In the old days any one, criminal diseased, anarchist or un- desirable, was permitted freely to land and make his home in England Y1e first of the new rules lays down y2t no one shall be permitted to land unass he can support himself and his depta- dents. He shall not be permitted to land if he is an idiot a lunatic or mentally de- ficient, if he is a criminal, or if in the opinion of medical officer he IS unde- sirable from a health point of view There is also an omnibus clause which says he shall not be permitted to lana if he is forbidden to do so by the Secre- tary of State This is aimed, Of course at political undesirables, and is per fectly proper rule for any country to make with regard to- intending lmmi- grants. .,,, h, After the alien has landed he will in future be subject to certain amount oi police supervision. He will not nave
