ger to the drivers, whose visibility
is impaired on the turns of the
track.
Racing, as shown by the crowds
which have attended previous auto
races here, Is one of the most popu-
! lar of sports with Imperial Valley
fans. When the so-called knights
of the roaring road round the turns
at the fair grounds two and some
times three abreast spectators are
hard put to contain their enthu-
siasm.
All races at the county fair
grounds will be under the direct su-
pervision of the national board OF
the A. A. A, and for the first time
in the history of auto racing here
local man will be on the board of
judges Frank Van Bezel, an ac-
credited 3A technical man, Will
officiate at the races Monday.
Word was received lately that
Fred Wagner. veteran 3-A starter,
may not be able to be present at
the local races. One of his assist
ants may be called upon to start
the races.
approximately 80 cars are expect
cd to start in Mondays races. Most
Of these have already arrived In the
valley and are tuning up for the
heavy grind Total prizes of $500
will be divided among the auto
racers this year.
Joe Bush, VINO has complete
charge OF arrangements for the
races, has handled all auto races at
the county fair grounds. He was
first connected with automobile
racing III 1915 when he was with
the Beacon Spears Motor company.
AT that time automobile racing was
more or less of transforming
proposition, with considerable dam
ger always lurking around the
curves for drivers in faulty cars OF
their own construction, and some
times with very few safety devices.
Because of the appalling total OF
accidents on race tracks throughout
the country, racing lost much of its
popularity among fans. AT this
point the national board of the A.
A. A. was formed, and strict rules
laid down for drivers and cars.
1t Is the object Of the 3-A board
to stress safety in connection with
auto racing, and also to develop
speed. but with a greater margin
of safety for the driver and spec
tatorS.
The board demands that drivers
maintain high standards of con-
duct. All cars, in order TO compete
in ga race, must pass technical
examination before entering the
event. Structural soundness of the
cars are thoroughly tested. Each
racing car must have a fire wall to
protect the driver in case his car
catches fire. These fire walls give
the driver time to stop his car and
get out before fire consumes the
drivers seat. |
Taking all these things into con-
sideration. Bush decided, when he
took over promotion of racing at
the fair grounds. that the only
races to be held there would be ga
races. Thus clean sport is assured
racing fans in Imperial Valley
Because Of the increasing popu-
larity of racing in the United States,
said Bush recently, and the effect of |
this popularity on California, four
new tracks are now under construc-
ton In this state. 1t is the hope of
the 3-A board that before long 10
races each year will be held In this
each under the supervision
Of an official board of judges and
officials.

Ample Parking
Space At Fair

Ample parking space will be pro-
vided at the fair grounds for those
who drive there in their cars.
The parking grounds are located
west of the race track and north OF
the grand stand, with entrance from
Imperial avenue.
To avoid confusion exit will be
out the north end of the parking
space.
Attendants will be on duty at all
times to guard property and cars
and each person parking his car
will be given an Identification tag
so that none but the owner may
claim his property.
State traffic police will be on du-
ty near the fair grounds and will
direct traffic SO that 1t may be
handled as expeditiously as possible
The fair management asks the CO.
operation Of all in order that those
using the parking space may get in
and out without delays or accidents.

KETTLEMAN HILLS
FIELD HARNESSED
Wilbur Announces ASSoCia-
ton Has Advised Him of Gas
Waste Stoppage.

The huge Kettleman Hills oil field
in California, claSsed as one of the
greatest in the world, has been
"harnessed," Secretary Wilbur Of In
terror, announced today:
Secretary Wilbur said he had been
informed by the Kettlenlan Hills North
Dome Association, organized with the
assistance of the Interior Department

shut off gas that was going to waste
until all that now comes to the sur
face is used. 1t may, in fact, find 1t
necessary to open new wells that 1t may
supply. its demand for natural gas, &C
cording to department officials.
Before the association was formed
Secretary Wilbur explained, more than
$4,000 900 cubic feet of gas a day
enough to supply half the State OF
California, was being wasted. Two
high pressure wells were out of control
New methods of dealing with high
pressures, applied after months OF
preparations. made 1t possible to xii.
these two wild wells and substitute pro-
duction from newer wells that were put
down with better understanding OF
the proper method of tapping the oil
gas reservoir.
It was explained that in such vel
the gas is on top and the oil at lower
levels. If the we'll is drilled through
the gas area and allowed to produce
from the oil area the result is that more
oil is brought up in proportion to the
gas. Secretary Wilbur pointed out that
this is the present method of produc-
ton. made possible by the utilization
The production through this method
is said to have been scaled down sc
that the total yield is 10000 barrels q
day. Before it might have produced
many times that amount.

DIVORCE DEBATE
HOLDS CHURCHMEN
Controversy 0vershadows
Election, in Which Bishop
Freeman Is Candidate.


DENVER, Colo, September U.s.
Church liberals and conservatives as
scmbled their forces today for a flnsl
contest over marriage and divorce laws
of the Protestant Episcopal Church.
So heated was the controversy, par
ticularly in regard to the remarriage of
divorced persons, that it overshadowed
the scheduled election today of pre-
siding bishop of the church.
The Right Rev. James De Wolf
Perry of Rhode Island, presiding bishop,
will be opposed by Bishop James E
Freeman, Washington, D. c.. and
Bishop Edward L. Parsons of Califor-
mia in today's balloting at a secret ses-
sion of the House of Bishops
The element seeking liberalization of
the church marriage laws, headed by
Prof. Joseph Beale of Harvard, was de-
feated on a proposal which would have
allowed ministers of the church to re-
marry persons divorced for any cause.
The remarriage, under the provision,
would have been allowed after the case
had been reviewed and passed upon
favorsbly by ar ecclesiastical court.
Unexpected strength was manifest
by the liberal element. however, when
the House of Deputies adopted an
amendment to the proposed canon
NIllCIl WOull INV why oA4OH
persons who have remarked outside the
church to retain their commitment
status. but under certain conditions
the church would also bless the par
ties to the union"
Ministers of the church under this
provision, however, would not be allowed
to remarry divorced persons. The eX-
listing canon provides that the only di-
yorced persons who may be married by
a minister is the innocent party to
divorce granted for adultery.
The House Of Deputies has considered
the proposed matrimonial canon by sec
tions, approving establishment of an
ecclesiastical court in each diocese and
providing fer pre-marriage instruction:
Consideration of the entire proposed
canon today was expected to bring re-
newal of the verbal tits which marked
Yesterdays session of the House CT
Deputies. If the proposed canon is
adopted by the church, its enemies de-
clared, headquarters of the divorce mill
