S. Attorney Makes Trip from Flagstaff in His New Car and Learns Something About AVhat They Call Roads The prospectively grand smooth boulevard that runs north and con nects Phoenix with Prescott is a Miame. If the streak of washed out, rutty, high-centered dirt that they call the road to Wiekenburg were not capable of being made a splendi-d highway, it would not be half so bail. But the utter waste of good ma terial strung along tiie assorted miles between the capital of Arizona, and it biggest city and the land of the unfevered vacationer acquired sun dry goats as is proven by the fol lowing: "In coming from Prescott and Flagstaff by automobile," said Unit ed States Attorney Tom Flynn yes terday, "I experienced a sensation of mean disappointment. 1 slid quietly off the magnificent roads of Yavapai and Coconino counties onto that wretched piece of trail between Wiekenburg and Phoenix, and was treated to one of the worst bits of wave riding I have ever had. "It would not have impressed me so badly had I not just left the fine boulevards of the north As far as Wiekenburg the mad is pretty fine. But below that place, it's awful. But the worst part of it is that the ex penditure of very little money and labor would make a good road of the miserable trail. A little grading Would smooth it, and a few furrows judiciously plowed on the upper tude would prevent the rain water wash ing great sags through it. I cer tainly hope that Maricopa county will come alive to this deficiency and have that road prepared for the summer travel." Flynn came down with Ed Babbitt and Earl Slypher, both of Flagstaff. They came in the Hup which Flynn has just acquired by purchase from the Babbitt company, and Ed Bab bitt was teaching him to manipulate it through the mountains. Slypher is a brother of Dr. Slypher. Profess or Percival Lowell's observer at the Flagstaff station. Young Slypher is one of the most expert celestial pho tographers in the Americas, and al though not yet of age, is regarded as Lowell's right hand man at mak ing the heavens smile and then snapping 'em.

JEWELS PLAT doubt stimulate interest in the pre parations. Not to let the excitement die down, the club is constrained to produce an event of some sort pre ferably one in which all the riders can' participate. The plan ' for the club run to Caliente is fruitful. There is aiso another seed of excitement j being sown, and that is in regard to mil climbs.

Starting with the minia ture parade, the dimtwutive circus went through all its little stunts in a child size "big top," anil as usual proved to be just a small bit of all right. There never was such a congre gation of totally efficient canines, nor ponies, nor monkeys. Oh, yes! the wildest animals in all the wild menagerie were the monks. The most noticeable thing about the circusette was the smullness of things. Even the camels were tiny. The one the big darkey led in the parade was ridiculously little. But there was nothing small in the way the circus management presented its bill. It was a big program, and ev ery young one, and many big ones enjoyed it immensely which is some studv in contrasts.

Nobody can say that the aviation game is still in the vaudeville stage. An exchange prints a photograph of an aviator doing a sensational tail-for-niost dip. and explains that the birdmen of now are pulling these perilous stunts merely that they may gain practice in handling their machines in the event of accident. Now, to find oneself sud denly pitched upside down in an aero plane must bCj a terrible experience; but to deliberately turn over, fly up side down, and cut loops in the circum ambient is merely pleasant novelty. The practice of flying upside down, sideways, ovi r and over, and in other hair raising manners, must be doing something to increase the safety of flight. In the few months since Pe gouil first started looping the loKp, there has been a minimum of fatalities. When the aviator is able to turn his machine wrong side out and fly with it in sections in the event of accident then the transcontinental and trans oceanic flights will be merely a matter of stocking up with sufficient gasoline and oil to keep the engines running. The ! Curtiss factory is going to put a hydro j aeroplane at the America-Europe flight shortly. j If George Hageman does not take care, he will do something which will j malic him out an exaggerator. We are i not .-lire that there is such a thing as j an exagerator, but if the Franklin j man keeps on putting road-miles in the ! gasoline he uses, he will accomplish a test that will cause people to shake i their heads. He has had Harold Welles I doing :il miles per gallon, and since word was received that the dealer in 1 Koknk or Conshohocken did 47, the local driver has been putting on the j yards every day. The final test occurs I on Friday morning. We had hoped that this small but in significant department would escape the notice of the stereotyped Public Vox Bono Deii, or whatever Old Sub scriber happens to think most fitting for his pen name when he communi cates with ire and a stub pen. But we had scarcely got nicely placed in our regular writing position when it was called to our attention "To the Sport Editor. Sir" wise that we had pub lished an indiscretion in the form of a story of a, trey of boxing matches in Ray. "You ought to know, if you do not. that boxing is tabu in Arizona. Why, therefore, do you insist on play ing up this brutal sport?" Question re mains unanswered. 'Twill continue so, unless Mr. Ezell. our Hayden contribu tor, who wrote the account, happens to see this anil takes HIS pen in hand. Explanation? .are usually in order after a well meaning interviewer writes a story in the first person and has his "by" line left off by a hurried composi tor or make up man. We had several approach us and reproach us with hav ing proven that Miss Jacobs, the wo men sport scribe did not write the clever articles signed by her well known name.. It was charged that we "faked" the "stuff". Awful! Most unheard of! To think that a large and reliable daily should do such a thing.
