Road to Sonoyta is
Graded all the Way

The road from "Sonoyta juno.
tion" on the Ajo-Tucson highway
is now completely graded as far
as the Mexican line this side OF
Sonoyta, it was learned from the
U. S. border patrol.
The work of grading was done
by the Sells division grader. and
was not only a rapid job but a
good one, it was added, and the
road though not paved is In very
good condition.
Co-incident with this announce
ment is the statement by Deputy
Collector of Customs Hugh S. Ben
ton that many cars-estimated at
80 or 40-have passed through Ajo
enroute to the Gulf of California
on fishing trips within the past
few days, and as result of the
recent grading it is believed that
motor traffic will continue to in
crease. bound for Rocky Point.
Deputy Collector Benton says the
establishment of Mexican con
sulate at Ajo will prove a good
thing for the Rocky Point fishing
industry. One important result is
that t h necessary clearance
across the line can be obtained
here by merely paying so cents per
person head tax at the office OF
the new Consul.

Safety Lessons
In Driving

Improper passing is the result
either of ignorance or unjustified
haste. The double line down the
middle of the road, now used in
some states at points dangerous
for passing, is a safe guide for the
driver to follow and should never
be violated.
5. Because of longer daylight,
many drivers are tempted to stay
at the wheel too long. Trying to
thread your way through large
vities after doing 200 or 300 miles
is made more dangerous by ia
tigue Pushing on at night after
driving a good part of the day Is
doubly hazardous, as it adds ia
tigue to the normal hazards of
night travel.
6. When more than one person
occupies the car on long trip,
use the exchange system. Let the
more experienced driver take the
wheel through cities and on crowd
ed highways, then give over to
the relief driver on the easier
stretches.
7. Heat Furnishes tires greatly,
especially on long runs. It's a good
idea to get out and check the tires
when you stop for gas on the road.
s. The experienced driver not
only secures information about
traffic conditions on the main
highways over which he is to avoid
being near large cities on week
ends and holidays.
9. If possibla plan to follow
good roads where traffic is COM
paratively light, rather than ex-
press highways where it is usually
heavy.
10. Another ho.iday-driving tip
is to start out early and start back
early.

The Low Down From
Hickory Grove

Each year We been getting a re-
port on the State OF The Nation.
They have been masterpieces. And
each report has been how to try
something new and noval-and
cure what is wrong. And after
each 100 million tossed away, we
dust off our vest and sort of look
sheepish, but stay right there
with our mouth open-waiting for
the next cure-all
But now, with the thunder roar
ing ocross the pond, we discover
out of a clear sky-that We are
in a terrible fix Our army is
a pee-wee our navy is run down
at the heel. A fine kettle of fish.
What they been doing and not
doing down there on the wordy
Potomac is just dawning on us.
But in England it was likewise,
and now they have Churchill and
Eden-after the horse is gone.
But we do not need to go plumb
crazy, and stampede. But we do
need TO get going-also take on a
pilot with some idea of where we
will land
We have had an overdose OF
theory and oratory-we gotta gel
down to business.
Yours with the lown down,

Kampouris Suddenly
Becomes S|ugger,
Seeks Record
By the Associated Press.

NEWARK, N. j., July 31.-Alex
Kampouris, shipped back to the mi
nors after six years of powder puff
hitting in the big time, has been
slapping so many home runs into
the left field stands that Newark
Bear fans are beginning to forget
many of the slugging greats of other
years.
The stocky Greek second sacker
scarcely attracted any attention as
slugger in the years that pre-
ceded the deal in which the Bears
sent Mickey Witek to the New
York Giants for $4,000 and Catch
er Tom Padden, with Alex thrown
in for good measure.
But in the first year of Interna-
tional League play, although miss
ing the first Is games of the season,
Alex thus far has belted out %
homers, only four off the Newark
clubs all-time, all-season record.
The Bears have had some pretty
fair country clubbers in their time,
their records being dotted with
names like Keller, Rosar, Gleeson,
Seeds, McQuinn, May, Hoag, Cor
don, Hill, Alexander, Walker, Fon-
SEGA and others.
What makes Kampouris' record
the more amazing is that he bats
second and often is called on to
sacrifice or hit behind the runner
The Sacramento right-hander also
Is leading the Bears in runs bat
ted in, is hitting between .290 and
300 and incidentally is playing a
sparkling game in the field.
