FIGHT ON LAW
AS STOCHURCHES
(By Dispatch A. p. Wire)

| Mexican society women who demand
a revision of the national laws af-
fecting church heads and secular
schools is reported at this border
| city.
The state of Sonora already has
been canvassed by the women, the
more important cities such as Her
mosillo and Guaymas being covered
with petitions which have been sent
to the central government. In Quad
alajara the women are reported ac-
tive and Colima also is instituting a
drive seeking modification of the
| Gales governments laws.
| The movement started in Nogales,
Sonora, and is spreading south over
"a fan shaped area, says the reports.
Leaders hope to have the entire re-
| public canvassed in two months and
| have petitions ready for presentation
to congress at it's next session.

nose into which his goggles had cut.
Goldtrap's escape was little less

new start. His effort to regain sec

reaching the wire with less than a

Latham's experience was almost
Identical to that Of Nanny, occurring
in the time trials at the same spot.
The car returned to the pits under
it's own power, wheel was changed
and Harper drove it in events re-
naming after he had crashed in the
Chevrolet in the second race.
The thrills of the races started in
the time trials, in (which the average
time of the drivers making the mile
was the best ever made on the track.
Nine of the originally entered II cars
were on the oval, and all started in
the time trials. eight finishing.
Boody's time of 50F4-5 seconds, the
than the best in several previous
races. Miller's Studebaker special
from Pine, Kelly's Frontenac Ford
special from Jerome and Howard's S
Ford special from Ajo were not
brought here because of road condi-
tions resulting from the rain.
Randolph's victory in the time trials
was the most convincing. 1t was
obvious even to those in the grand
stand that he had made the best
time of the day, even before the time
was announced. All drivers lost time
by slowing down going into the
northwest turn on which several Sc
rious accidents have occurred.
Randolphs victory in the next race,
the 1O-mile open event, was just as
convincing. Although the field ran
closely punched in the early miles,
Randolph held the lead almost con-
tinuously, and repeatedly demon
strated that he had the reserve speed
to hold the front.
Randolph got off in the lead, with
Anderson and Harper never more
than a few yards behind until the
sixth mile, when Harper crashed off
the track Thomas also continued
in a challenging position to the fin
ish.
The three cars-Randolph Ander-
son and Harper-were almost to-
gether when Harper went off the
track in the sixth. Anderson took
the lead for an instant in the sew
enth mile, but Randolph regained 1t
through the remainder of the race.
The next race was a 1O-mile event,
open to all cars except those finish
ing first and second in the previous
race. Peterson, Goldtrap and Thomas
ran in that order throughout.
The five-mile consolation was won
with comparative ease by Harper in
the Overland The driver had given
a superlative exhibition of nerve by
going into apother car after his mar
row escape from death. However
Boody and Nanny provided one of the
greatest duels seen on any track in
| the last mile.
They passed the fourth mile with
| Peterson we'll in front and Nanny
we'll in possession of second place.
But on the turn into the far stretch,
Manzy's car went out of control and
spun around on the track. He right
! ed the car, but while picking up
speed for another start Boody passed
him. Many made a great fight to
regain second place, but Boody got
under the wire first by less than a
/ length.
