Much interest has been aroused
here over the coming fifty mile
match race between Bob Burman and
Barney Oldfield next Sunday on the
Ascot track at Los Angeles. Oldfield
drives his tiny Fiat Cyclone, and Bur
mah will pilot his Peugeot racer.
The race will settle the long stand
ing dispute as to the racing supre
macy between these two greatest of
pilots. Oldfield has just won the ti
tle, "Master Driver of the World,"
hut Burman argues that he has so
far outstripped the Irishman on the
circular dirt tracks that he can safe
ly claim the championship. Oldfield
holds the record for having circled
a dirt track fastest in 46 2-5 seconds.
Burman has traveled faster than any
other human being ever traveled in
an automobile doing the Daytona
straightaway In 25 2-5 seconds.

OKLAHOMA CITY TO HAVE
AUTO RACE LIKE PHOENIX
Oklahoma automobile road races
will be patterned after Phoenix's
great desert classics, according to
George W. Woods, secretary of the
Southwestern Racing Association of
Oklahoma City. In a communication
to the Phoenix board of trade, Mr.
Woods asks for an outline of the
Phoenix plan of promotion.
Oklahoma City has become infected
with the racing bug. Within a short
time, the sporting authorities of that
city will pull a road race of some
sort distance, direction and time not

1 CAN BE DONE IN
- OLIVE RAISING HERE
An ocular demonstration of what
can he done in olive culture is hang
ing in the window of the Arizona In
vestment and Securities company in
the Adams Hotel Building. Olives
are there shown actual fruit as big
a egg plums, fully ripe and most
tempting to look at. They were
grown under the supervision of Mun
ger Brothers on Security Acres.
Of course all the olives are not of
the great "Queen" variety: thousands
of smaller specimens of the fruit on
the branches, are clustered around
the big fellows. But it is the big
fellows that attract most of the at
tention. No such olives have been
seen here either in the raw or pre
served state. Fruit of this sort
brings a splendid price on the mar
ket, as big proportionately as the
price paid for the great Arizona or
anges and grape fruit, with which so
many of the windows of the city are
now decorated.

YOUNG SCULPTOR WOULD
GIVE Ml A NEW CROP
Emry Kopta Wants to Introduce Long
Staple Cotton Among Indians
of the Pointed Desert
Emry Kopta, the young sculptor.
whose busts of representative types
of the Moki Indians are creating at
tention wherever they, are exhibited,
has blossomed forth as a benefactor
of the noble red man. In a letter to
the board of trade, he apprises his
good friend Harry Welch of the fact
that the Moki are to be taught the
cultivation secrets of long staple cotton.
Kopta inquires about the crop, its i
methods of introduction into a new :
country, and about the prices of seed. !
It is his aim to take cotton into the'
Moki country, so it can replace the j
scraggly corn that the Indians raise
in the few watered patches through-
ut the Painted Desert. Cotton, he
believes, will enable the natives to
cultivate a bigger and more profita
ble acreage.
The several years Kopta has been
living among the Moki at Polacca,
which is the United States postoffice
for the Village of Walpi, the place
where the snake dance occurred and
where Theodore Roosevelt was initi
ated into the mysteries of the snake
priests two years ago. The young
sculptor has been studying the condi
tions of the Indians, and now be
lieves that by the introduction nf cer
tified cotton seed, he can aid them
in their meager agricultural pursuits.

The Introduction in the iast few years
of lang range, accurate, quick firing
guns has great fy affected the manner
of serving artillery. In the early part
of the Manchurian war, the Russian
artillery, taking positions in the open
in the old way, suffered great losses
from the fire of concealed Japanese
artillery. The results of this war, con
firmed, it seems, by those of the recent
Balkan war, have been to couse mili
tary men generally to regard the con
cealed or masked position as the nor
mal one for artillery. This means that
the guns are hidden by a crest, or by
trees, or standing crops while the cap
tain, placed so that he can overlook
the field of action, gives the data for
aiming the guns so that their fire, will
reach the desired target. Hence the
cannoneers have only the mechanical
duties of setting fuses, leading, aiming
and firing the gun according to the
captain's commands; and, with the
equipment now provided, it is possible
for the captain to direct the fire of his '
guns quickly and accurately on almost
any target in range and vision. He can
shift the fire from right to left, by
minor changes in the angle as used by
the different guns, he can cause their
fire to be converted or distributed as
he sees fit. A skillful captain with a
well-trained battery has the fire almost
as readily under his control as has a
fireman of the stream of water from
his hose. The communication between
a captain and his gunners is the weak
link; for the captain may have to sep
arate himself considerably from the
guns in order to see the target, and
then has to rely on telephones, signals
or a chain of orderlies to transmit his
command!. Of course it is not to he
presumed that the guns should always
be placed under cover. If the condi
tions require it they may be placed in
the open. World's Work.

EXPOSING THE FAKE JEWELRY AUCTION SALES

rsn
A liijrli-iri-cd man, to l.e sure! And usually paid on commission plus expenses. Hundreds of miles
l.y Pullman car from the jewelry centers of America; Aveeks spent in the most luxuriant of hotels,
n.rl -,11 tlii i.:nl for out. of tlip Tvrofits from t!ie sale of a bankrupt stock of jewelry.
Just supose that a stock' is appraised at .$15,000. This alone, at 10 per cent commission, means '$1500
to the Auctioneer. Can vou figure how it s done'?.
Well, vou might sa "He's worth it." But, do you know that his first business is to earn his com
mission; that he is "always the maker of the fiist bitl" and buys the article in himself if it does not sell
for more than cost? When you have the opportunity, watch the Bankrupt Stock Auctioneer; watch
how he makes notes of the articles he sells on his own bid.
Thenj' there's a stock of assistants to be paid for and they get good money. Just, ask one of them
to "put up" a piece of silverware or jewelry, and he'll ask you what your bid is. If your bid is less
than cost, and there is any chance of an outside (public) second offer being made, he will tell you that
he can't "put it up" at that price. Of course, there's a big profit leaving alone the money on the
"shipped in" goods. (
At this very moment, we know of a Jewelry Stock that was sold to the highest "Wholesale House"
bidder for ,$5,0()h less, or one-third less, tlum it.ivas appraised for. Add your Auctioneer's and assist
ants', commission and expenses. Then ask yourself how the Wholesale Finn gets their profit: how
the Auctioneer gets his, and wheie the purchaser at a -"ake jewelry" Auction Sale gets off at?"
This is but further proof of Article I.
