AUTOMOBILE CLUB
WILL SIGN POST THE
ALLEY OF DEATH"

Death Valley of California is to
be made fool proof" for motorists
and others, according to plans an
nounced for the placing of 1900
sign posts within the next three
weeks by the Automobile Club of
Southern California.
This unique spot of the United
States, lying as it does below sea
level, has been more abused than
used. Since Death Valley Scotty"
flashed over the horizon, the pop
ular idAa has been that Funeral
Range was a mass of prospectors'
skeletons, that Furnace creek ran
boiling water and HelPs Hole was
a straightaway jump into the in
fernal regions.
While Death Valley is a very hot
place to travel in summer, it is
rare scenic spot of great beauty in
the spring time. 1t has been COM
pared to a trip to Yellowstone Ma
tional park,
Frightened by tales of lost trav-
elers and the lack of water in the
desert wastes, motorists have
feared to invade this unique do
main of borax, dried lakes and
gold mines. This fear may be
banished when the sign posting of
the Automobile club is completed.
The water holes have been marked
previously by the government and
the Automobile club will designate
the roads with iron sign posts, go
that transcontinental tourists in
the springtime and early summer
may add this interesting below sea
level stretch of desert to their itin-
erary.

0lDSM0BILE MAKES
NEW RECORD FOR
HILL CLIMBING

Practically every automobile
owner. or dealer. in Albuquerque
knows Powder House hill" on
the mesa just southeast of the city,
and some know the hill to their
sorrow, on account of their failure
TO negotiate the hill. while others
with their cars have scaled the hill
with more or less trouble. But"
says V. c. Hale. 'it takes a real
good car to go up the hill and an
Oldsmobile turned the trick last
Thursday, going to the top without
a stop or even a hesitation, with
twelve men aboard the car, whose
total weight was almost tonic
be exact. 1910 pounds. When
the car reached the bottom of the
hill it had attained a speed of
about five miles an hour and when
the top was reached the car had
increased its speed to about sixteen
miles an hour" Pretty good rec
ord, and the boys at the White
garage are elated over the hill
climbing event.
Salesman John Kelly announces
that Napoleon Taxi has added two
Oldsmobilc cars to their equipment
and is ready for the "25-cent re-
duction taxi on bigger scale than
ever. Mr.. Kelly also states that an
Oldsmobile enclosed car has been
purchased by Attorney W. c. Reid.

Some very accurate statistics gathered last wear show
that ten times many tourists visited Colorado as thew
did New Mexico. Why is it that New Mexico has only

the tourist and sightseer has Colorado Her mountain
scenery is equal to that of any the American continent
and in addition to that she has the ruins of prehistoric

The proposal that women par

their maiden names after marriage

seventh year Although she became
the wife of ]. II, Willis, of Bridge

The question OF unification OF all
Governmental aerial activities under
one bureau or a separate department
was discussed, but no decision was
reached.
Secretary Hoover Is understood TO
have presented to the conference the
need of national aviation laws and reg

that bill incorporating the ideas ad-
evanced will be presented when Congress
convenes.
Secretary Hays called attention to the
number of accidents in the postal air

reduce them would be to subject postal

replying to a questionnaire in the Free

cerning the question Of peace in Ireland,
But he stated definitely that the Dali
Eireann had decided not to place ban
on the coming Irish elections, but on
the contrary would contest every con-
stituency.
De Valera declared that negotiations
with the British Government On the
basis OF the partition act were alto
gether out of the question. He reiter-
ated that Premier Lloyd George could
have peace tomorrow If he desired it
on the basis Of right and justice.

The Dali Eireann. or Irish republican
parliament. has appointed peace COM
mttee. This news. which was contained
in an official irish bulletin reaching Lon
don lSte tonight, says that during the
session of the Dali Eireann in the sec
ond week In March 1t was decided to
appoint a committee for negotiations
with enemy countries with the (Irish re-
publican) Minister of Foreign Affairs
as its president.
The bulletin then proceeds to describe
the functions OF the committee, which is
empowered to choose authorized negoti-
ators and to make II plain that all other
persons are not authorized to speak for
"the national assembly Of the Irish
people,"
: Owing to the fact that the news OF
this Sim Fein movement did not reach
London until a late hour tonight 1t
was impossible to learn whether tho
British Government considers that this
is IAN authoritative spokesman for the
Irish people appearing on the bridge,
which Premier Lloyd George described
as the sine qua non of the success OF
the peace negotiations. 1t fits many OF
the specifications the Premier has
drawn. however. but the effect Of the
move IS rather spoiled by the Dali
Eireanns including in 1t praise for
Premier Lloyd Georges worst political
opponents here for the parts they have
heretofore played in connection with
peace moves.
