WILL REVIVE
AUTO RACING

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 3U.p)-Old-
time automobile racing will be re-
vived at Los Angeles Municipal
airport December 10 if present
plans of William Pickens and Will
liam S. White materialize.
PickenS, speaking as the repre-
sentative of White, announced
plans for a 2O0-mile grind that
would attract most of the big
names in the present day gasoline
competition. Plans provide for a
two-mile course with straight
away nearly a mile long in front
of the grandstand. The race may
be extended to- 300 miles, Pickens
said. Total purse money of $4,000
was promised Promoters were
said to be planning to make the
race an annual Pacific coast af-
fair if their initial venture is
success.
The project recalls the former
Santa Monica classic which passed
into history in 1916.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The old
Herr Professor was deep in thought
when we entered his study today,
and he handed us his football Selec-
tions without glancing up from the
papers spread out on his desk. AS
we opened the door to leave, he
said:
Il have much bigger news than
mere football picks. have worked
out a liquor control plan that will
satisfy both vets and drys. Sit down
and let me explain
The professors plan will be known
as the 100 gallon control idea be-
cause Immediately upon repeal every
citizen will be given 100 gallons OF
Scotch. Before taking his first drink
each day the citizen must perform a
certain task, and before his second
snort another task, and SO on. Al
ter five drinks and five tasks the
citizen may take as many slugs as
he likes for the rest of the day, but
must start all over again the next.
Here are the tasks devised by the
professor:
First drink: Pull your fingers until
all the knuckles crack. Persons
whose knuckles refuse to crack are
on the wagon for good.
Second shot: Give the neighbor in
the house on your right five shots
of your stock.
Third shot: Take sufficient
amount to enable you to initiate a
concrete mixer at work. The imi-
tation must include motor chugging,
concrete being poured into drum,
concrete coming out of drum, wheel
barrows approaching, wheelharrows

WALKER GETS
LAST CHANCE
By JACK CUDDY

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Nov. 8. - Mickey
Walker, after singing leather for 13
long years, engages in the "big fight"
of his career tonight when he tries
to wreSt the world light heavy
weight championship from Make
Rosenbloom in 15-rounder at
Madison Square garden.
Thirty-two years old and broke,
the "Rumson Bulldog" has a chance
to win his third world title, an as
set which could be turned into quick
money for the wife and baby. De-
feat may plunge him into oblivion
and poverty.
At 80, Walker is an "old man" in
ring reckoning, and Promoter jim
my Johnston has been criticized for
giving this washed up individual a
crack at the title, particularly in
view of recent defeat by Lou
Brouillard
Walker is three years older than
Make, and those three years are ex-
pected to count heavily in the later
rounds. He has been a fast liver,
squandering nearly million dollars
along the primrose path when he
was Welter and middleweight cham
pion.
Rosenbloom is no paragon of vir-
tue. He is proud of doing most of
his training with the dawn patrol
along Broadway's hot spots. He also
is broke, but apparently has couple
of god fighting years left.
Walker will weigh about l73
pounds, while Rosenbloom will just
squeeze under the ITS pound limit.
Garden officials expect about 10000
fans. Rosenbloom is 9 to favor
ite.

There were two holes in each

An appeal to a nation of right
thinking" people to consider the
significant results of the first fort
night of legal liquor" was made to-

THE sale of legal liquor in "a
states includes significant develop

can scarcely afford to ignore" the
w. C. T. U. said THE results of re-
peal may be epitomized thus:
For the first time in IA years ap-
proxirnately 56,000,000 citizens have
been made the legal target of high
pressure liquor craftsmanship; thou
sands of young people have taken
the first serious step toward dissi-

BETTER ROAD NEEDED

Imperial Valley should give full sup
port to a demand for Improvement of
Highway No. go between Banning and
Garnet in Riverside county, section of
road which is disgrace to a state which
boasts of its highway system.
Thus far this year 26 persons have
been killed on this % mile section, the
last four victims being residents of I'M
perial Valley. This, together with the
fact that the section is on the main route
between Imperial Valley and Los An
geles, iustifies this community in Joining
a demand for Improvement.
This particular portion of Highway
No. 80 is a continuous succession of dan
gerous dips which have been responsible
for the majority of fatal accidents. Even
in the daytime and driving at moderate
speed, the dips are not only source of
great discomfort to motorists but are
highly dangerous. At night the danger
is increased to such an extent that travel
over the road is an extreme risk.
Pleasure cars and trucks create
heavy traffic on Highway No. 80 max
ing an improved highway not only desir-
able but mandatory.
Where once valley residents dreaded
the long trip across the desert between
the end of the irrigated section and the
Riverside county line, improvements on
this sector have postponed their fears
until they come to the stretch between
Garnet and Banning
No small number of valleyites prefers
taking the longer route by way of San
Diego in order to avoid travelling over
the dangerous dips. The extra mileage
and time required are more than offset
by the avoidance of danger only too

DISTRICTS CASE STRONGER

General dissatisfaction with the bids
offered yesterday by private contractors
for construction of the first unit of the
All-American canal provides the irriga-
tion district with the leverage needed to
present it's case for further discussion
with the reclamation service on the most
desirable, economical and efficient means
of building the canal.
The figures exceeded the districts own
estimate of the cost by nearly one-third,
and even granting that the districts fig
ures might have to be revised upward, it
is extremely doubtful that revision would
abolish the difference between its esti-
mate and the figures submitted by the
contractors.
Prompt protest is to be made by the
district which already has representatives
in Washington to present such action to
the reclamation service.
The bids submitted yesterday will be
studied by the reclamation service and
its action will follow 1t is quite likely
that the service will also consider the bids
too high and reject them. This would
necessitate calling for new bids, and
while the delay in starting actual con-
struction would be veXatious, it is also
possible that rejection would result in the
new bids being lower than yesterdays
effort
Sentiment as expressed by the district
directors at yesterday afternoons meet
ing, indicates desire to seek construc-
tion on force account Now that the
bids have been opened the reclamation
service may see the desirability Of this
system being used.
President Hewes, of the district board,
is quoted as not being in favor of any
move that would seek to take the job out
of the control of the reclamation service.
This is wise course, particularly as the
attitude of the service on yesterdays bids
is still to be ascertained. If the service
sees the bids in the same light as the val
ley, the latter's case is immeasurably
strengthened.
