HE HAS AMENDMENT FOR UTILITIES BILL
Brown Would Curb Proposed Sweeping Supervision of
 Public Service Commission

An amendment to the public util- legislature is now being drawn up by J. Ellis Brown. city commission- CT of public utilities. and his legal advisors. He will go to Montgomery Monday to make arrangements for having the amendment presented.
 s'In my opinion. the bill is en- tirely too drastic." said MT. Brown. "1t takes the public utilities en- ! tirely out of the hands of the mu- nfcipality and provides that any decision made by the public serv- Ice commission, if unsatisfactory to municipality. must be tried in the circuit court of Montgomery before it can be appealed to the supreme court of the state.'
 1t is understood that the bill is being vigorously supported by Governor kilby and A. J. Patter- son, newly elected chairman of the public service commission.
 Already Commissioner Brown has the assurance that the amend Inent will be introduced fin the senate when the bill eomes up for decision early in the coming week. Tie has pledged a member of the law making body to intro- duc~ inc am endment and a numb ber of others to support it.
 The amendment. according to MT. BrOwns will provide that the public service commission will not he allowed to interfere with my existing contracts and franchises and that decisions of the commits sion which are appealed by the mu- inequalities may he carried straight to the supreme court of the state for decision.
 The original bilL MT. Brown stated, gives exclusive right to the commission to fix rates and gov ern contracts and regulations without regard to the present franchises.

 A DAYS TROUBLES


 CLEVELAND, O.. April 24.-Twas 9 sunsiay in the rainy reason. Jupe Pluvius had turned the bowl upside down But it was necessary to drive iron, TcIeao 10 Cleveland The family ~>S loaded into the car, side curtains but.onc-- 6cwT;a and We sailed along on fii1s of water over the fine brick res.6< nT northern Ohio.
 SaiicG. along until near Vermilion. zvfer . rniia CT so Of road under repair discovered that northern Ohio soil was oet the finest for contact with the wheels Of a motor car on a rainy Sun day afternoon.
 We crept along on second, holding the car desperately to the crown of the road like q man walking astride the ridge pole of slippery roof
 Suddenly, somehow. we crossed over the ridge and Clided gracefully and gently down the greasy surface into the ditch. The family screeched. The pater descended. So did the rain.
 There wasn't a house within a half mile. There wasn't a solid spot under the car to set jack. Other cars crept fearfully, cautiously by. None stopped.
 Father started for a farmer and q team. with visions of 8 fee for haul ing out. He found a farmer, bless his heart, who did the job for S1.50, after plodding the half mile through the mud behind his team, his lantern dangling in the crook of his elbow. And he gave father a drink of cider as well.
 Meantime, a kind hearted couple did gather in the babies and the mother and take them to the village. By the time father and son arrived with the car at s:30 dinner was over at the hotel. But mother had seen to it that something had been saved.
 And, oh, boy, Have you ever eaten a chicken dinner at g.: 30 D. n1., after a foodless day and the task of digging out a stalled car? It was perfect end of the day.

USE STETHOSCOPE
 ON MOTORS HEART

s'It is not very difficult matter to construct an instrument that will en- able the owner to listen to the very heart beats of his motor and find out what ails it,' writes welI-known automobile expert in American Motor ist- Continuing the writer says:
 "One way is to secure stethoscope such as is used by physicians in listen ing to the beating of the patients heart and the working of his breathing ap- aratus. This may be made suitable to the purpose by lengthening the central tube. The other end of the device may then be held against any part of the motor without the necessity of remov- ing the receivers from the ears
 Another scheme is to secure from the junk man or local telephone company a telephone receiver body into the closed end of which is screwed a steel rod i's inch in diameter and about 15 inches long. The rod should be threaded for about IF inches from one end and nut and lock washer should be used on each side of the receiver so as to hold the steel rod securely in place. When the rod is held against the engine and the receiver to the ear all sounds in the motor are 'telegraphed' up the rod so that each bearing or wrist-pin knock stands out clearly above the noise of
 he operating parts of the motor.

HANSEN'S MACHINE HOLDS NEW RECORD

 There you have it. The editor of the Comeback, an alleged weekly pub lished in Phoenix wished it announced to the world that he had just harvested his wool crop.

TWO THINGS TEST
 QUALITY IF AUTO

Two things determine the true value of a motor car" says Bert O. Brown, local dealer in Chevrolet pass enger and commercial cars.
 One is the purpose for which it is designed. The other is the manner in Which it is built to fit that purpose.
 Power, speed, comfort, appearance and equipment are needs which auto mobiles generally are designed to meet. Their value is judged on these points.
 An automobile must have all the essential qualities that fulfill these re- quirements. But its object must be greater than any of them. It should be based on the need for the automo- bile as a utility for the many.
 There is only one way to fill this need. That is. to afford economical transportation for the great majority.
 This is the dominant purpose be- hind the medium weight car. All the intrinsic qualities of these cars of to- day are the result of it. The policy of future constructions is based upon it.
 This purpose controls the design and every operation that enter into fiiment two fundamental principles are adhered to-quality and quantity.
 Economy in the long run is based upon quality at the outset. If the great majority are to enjoy it, quantity is necessary. The manner in which the two are combined in the medium weight car proves, in a remarkable way that one insures the other"

 LOS ANGELES, April 24.-Visitors expectation of receiving shocks and thrills from the hair raising perform ances that usually accompany these events. But the accident that hap pened at the recent race here, nearly took the breath away from many a veteran spectator.
 Art Klein was in the lead and was burning up the path at the rate of 1o4 miles an hour. Racing bugs who like statistics have since figured that his wheels were revolving at the rate Of D times a second. All others agreed he was going some.
 He had travelled IS miles when crack Something had snapped sharply, and Art found himself zig zagging and scrambling crazily along the road. He put on the brakes and stopped in time to save himself and some bewildered spectators from being wrecked.
 Racing along ahead of the machine. and fast fading from view was the rim and tire of one Of his wheels, un- touched by the accident but sheared cleanly from the steel spokes. As soon as he recovered from the spill. Klein looked about and saw his right rear wheel rimless and tireless. but the hub and spokes intact.
 Some distance further along the road. the remains of the wheel were picked up-tire fully inflated, without a scratch and perfectly mounted.
 It was the first time motor race spec tators had witnessed such a freak per formance

OLDF|ELD' $ JAR
 TO bE IN GREAT
 MOTOR CLASSIC

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 24.- Barney Ouldfield the auto race driver who never looked back" has entered car in the speed classic to be held at the Indianapolis motor speedway, May 31.
 The veteran of IS years in the racing game will elect another pilot to handle his mount this year as in 1919 when he sent Roscoe Sarles to the wire with hls entry. Who Oldfield's choice will be this year is a matter of conjecture he has not yet announced, and whether he has decided is not known.
 The car he has entered is an old field Special" of 1S2 cubic inches piston displacement manufactured by Harry Miller of Los Angeles. That IS all the information that was contained in the official entry blank turned in to the speedway officials.
 In last years race Oldfield's car was eliminated early in the game with a broken cam shaft-but Sarles kept 1t well up in front as long as it was in the affair.
 Barney Oldfield is fixture in the history books of auto racing. He was the first man to drive an auto mile in less than q minute on a circular track-that was in Indianapolis in 1903 when he covered the distance in 5e seconds, fer which he was paid S100 the second year of his racing career from that time on, until his retirement from actual competition he was con- stantly in the limelight as speed merchant.
 .Old Master" as he is commonly known, got his first taste for fast rid ing when he placed second in bicycle race in 1894, when he was Is years old In 1899 he gained his first experience as a pilot of motorcycle racing ma chimes, at which be became leading expert.

Why the Trip to
 Ruins Was Made

There were several reasons for this trip to the Casa Grande Ruins. For some time the B. E. Goodrich Rubber company has been threat ening to make it possible for the readers of The Arizona Republi- can to secure an adequate knowI- edce of road conditions in and around Arizona. Through the ef- forts of their touring bureau it is possible to find one's way all over the state. But this information has nothing to say at the present time of road conditions. This in formation is hard to secure, too, unless the trip is made. Reports from nearby towns are ofttimes not reliable.
 And then along came Barrel and Pottsberg with a new Stakeholder automobile and announced they would cooperate with the Goodrich company if The Republican agreed to furnish someone to write an ac- count of what took place on the trips. Thus the three oreaniza- tions got together and organized a trip to the Casa Grande Ruins. Why that particular spot was picked out is not definitely known. Perhaps some of the Goodrich and Studebaker people had never seen them and again it was thought this was an excellent time for the People of Phoenix to become ac- quainted with that place which for a hundred years has been baffling the scientists of the United States. And this is not the last trip which the Arizona Republican Scout Car" will make. 1t is scouting for every reader of The Arizona Re- publican and it is to all intents and purposes out on the road in order that the public may have suggestions as to where to motor and an idea as to how the trip may be made.

becoming the driver of two racing cars designed by Ford and financed by Cooper.
 It was on September 21 that hs drove and won his first race. when steam. gasoline and electric cars from all parts of the country gathered for the five-mile event at Crosse Point track, Detroit. He defeated a large field for a diamond trophy, placing a Ford 999 the distance in 5.20 the worlds record at that time.
 Oldfield drove the first American car to finish the 500-mile International Sweepstakes at the Indianapolis Motor speedway in 1914. when he placed fifth in a Stutz. averaging 1915 for the dis tance. He was also fifth in 1916, driv- ing a Delage.

within the medical fold before osteo-
pathy was born.
While It is true that nothing which
has been proven to be scientifically
correct is denied in the tenets Of oste-
opathy it is also true that the mechan-
ical adjustment Of the body is such a
natural procedure and brings about
such remarkable results, that the os-
teopath has no need for the admins
tration of drugs internally for the
treatment Of disease.
Potter's Materia Medica says that
there is no statement more scientific
ally proven than the ono that the hu-
man body contains within itself every
substance necessary for the treatment
Of disease. With such an admission by
an authority on drugs, the osteopath
has no need TO look elsewhere for his
remedies. The next proposition is how
to make these substances available.
Science teaches that the body is the
most perfect machine known. Hence
osteopathy concludes that a perfect
machine with all the substances neces-
sary present, needs only perfect ad-
justment in order to maintain perfect
functiOning which is health.
