STARS OF THE RACE
TRACK TO APPEAR
At STATE FAIR

Phoenix-The Arizona State FAIR
grounds now is the center OF har-
ness racing activity on the west
ern coast, with all the outstanding
standard Drd stars of the West ern
Fairs Racing Circuit congregating
at the Phoenix track for the las,
meeting of the 1880 circuit, Novem-
Der 10th to 18Th.
After a series of racing programs
in California, the best of the trot-
ters and PAGERS of the Western
Fairs Circuit come to Phoenix, all
in good racing form, to get the ben
eft of a short training course over
he world-famous Arizona mile
track and compete in the various
events.
In spite of the fact that the Ari-
zona meeting comes as the windup
of the circuit, after the racing candi-
dates have been subjec ed to a
stiff campaign, practically all win
ming horses at Phoenix lower their
records. Owners look forward to
the Arizona meeting as an oppor-
tuniIy to determine the best speed
of their horses under the mos, IA
vorable conditions.
Entries in the classes will not be
limited 20 horses coming from a
area, for the lineup will
include trotters and PAGERS from
Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Cali
'fornia, Utah, Iowa, Washing on
Ne braska and Kansas.

BATTLE AGAINST
DIVORCE MAKING
HEADWAY IN i. S.

Despite the alarming number oil
divorces in the United States, the
BATTLE against the evil is making
headway. The Cincinnati Enquire
points this out in an editorial based
on recent census statistics. 1t says:
The figures for marriages and di-
vorces in the United STATES, just
made available. are worth no little
study 1t was somewhat the fash
ion for a period of years TO speak
fiippantly of the decline of marriage
and to regard the increase OF dl-
vorce as a permanent feature Of
American social evolution. Along
with the psuedo-liberal viewpoint
came diver,ing theories of tempo
sary marriages of various kinds,
including tn e highly artificial
schemes of that great publicity
seeker. Judge Ben Lindsey, and
the promiscuous theories of Bert
rand Russell. happily married mon
ogamist himself.
This momen airy flair for spurl-
Gus liberalism led on by the propo-
nents of the left-wing psychology,
purveyors of new systems of mating
has seen it's heyday, it appears.
They are losing their following
indeed they never made any Sc
rious impression .sn the great mass
of people of any class or creed. In
fact it may be said wi h safety
that it is now definitely fashionable
to reject the futile psychologists on
which the newer" marriage sys-
tens are based
This is borne out by the statistics
of the census bureau. Divorce still
increases in absolute numbers, but
relatively to marriages it has fallen
off gheatly Ohio is a fair exam
pie. having a higher divorce rate
than most states. Marriages in
creased 10.7 per cent in 1929 over
the previous year, while divorces
increasd Az per cent. A similar
trend is evident in figures for the
entire United States.
If they prove nothing else, the
latest column of statistical data
show plainly that Americans are
not disheartened by the dire lmas-
inings Of the behaviorists, and re-
main the most married" people of
the world and that larger per-
centage of these marriages prove
lasting than ras been the case in
recent years For those thought
historic marriage institution the one
full persons who recognize in the
sound basis for our social life, the
current trend is Ger ain to be en-
couraging news.

or INTEREST TO MOTORISTS

OF interest to motorists who have
long desired to visit the new Lees
Ferry bridge and who have delayed
trips thereto because of poor road
conditions from Cameron to that
poin., is the information that the

cent meeting let the contract for
he improvement of the 40 mile
stretch leading northward from
Cameron. According to information
received from the Arizona Automo-
bile Association, work on the drain
age and structures will be started
within two weeks.
When completed this road will be
a standard, well constructed gravel
road. A portion of it lies on Indian
lands and the cost for the most part
will be met through federal aid 1t
is scheduled for completion some
time during the fall of 1881. 1t will
be a most popular route for it will
provide easy access for motorists
who wishgto visit the south rim of
the Grand Canyon, the Lees Ferry
bridge, the Kaibab Forest and the
