SAXON BUSINESS IS
 GROWING STEADILY
To Have Ground Floor Space at New York Auto
 Show This Year

Thirteen hundred per cent. ahead of last December" is the remarkable report of business made by the Sax on Motor Car corporation. necem- Der used to be a pretty dull month in the automobile industry, but the Saxon company has shown not only that au- tomobiles' can be sold in the winter, but that people actually elamor for them. The January schedule calls for 2.5O0 cars.
 At the New York show. winch opens next Friday night. the Saxon corporation is planning a big jubilee and celebration of the remarkable winter business, and also of the fact that the Saxon exhibit. which two years ago occupied an obscure corner of the fourth floor, is now one of the features of the main floor at the Grand Central Palace.
 Space at the show is awarded in accordance with volume of business done Consequently the arrival of the Saxon on the main floor is tangi- hle evidence of the growth of the company, which now ranks sixth among all automobile manufacturers in number of cars produced. One feature of the Saxon jubilee will be a banquet at which hundreds of deal- CTS will be present from all over the country

MEDICAL TREATMENT
 FUR FORD WORKERS
Factory Maintains Doctors Who Look After Health
 of the Employes

It is probably not generally known that in order to safeguard the health and lives of the army of Ford em- ployes totaling on an average of 15,- 0SS per day during the year ending July 31 last. and now running over 24,- 000 the Ford Motor company main taius a well equipped medical depart ment and staff of physicians and sur geons right in the factory itself.
 During the year 11,S45 men were hired Each of these men was exam ined physically first-in order that he be not assigned to work for which he would be unfit physically and that there might not be any danger of any communicable disease.
 The medical department makes a point of investigating with great care any requests to be transferred to other departments It frequently happens that a man is justified in asking to be changed to work for which his physical condition is better suited. And such cases. of course, receive the attention of the medical staff
 This department also sees that the entire huge Ford plant is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected every Sunday, making a thorough inspection of the whole factory at that time.
 Showing how complete is the scien- tific equipment of this medical depart ment 667 X-ray photographs were taken during the year. In this way fractures. dislocations, the presence of foreign bodies and diseased bones were detected.
 Also, since last June, 54 persons ad- dicted to the use of drugs and alcohol have been sent to the Ford General hospital to be treated.
 Counting the number of cases of medical treatment accorded by the Ford medical department to the fami lies of Ford workmen, the number of cases treated through this department for the year reach the enormous total of 20G.324

IMPORTANT NOTICE
 ID BATTERY USERS
Local Electric Man Makes Remarks on Use of Vital
 Auto Part

Mir. Kirllwood. of the Electric Auto Company of Arizona, 305 North Cen tral avenue, was rather incensed at the abuse passed out to batteries with which all electric machines are equipped, and passed out the following information to car users:
 First: The most important fact concerning a storage battery is that it is an electro chemical apparatus which begins to wear out as soon as it is made. It is in exactly the same class with a tire and sooner or later the owner must purchase a new one-how soon being largely dependent on the care given the battery
 Second: Dealers should inform all battery owners as to the two absolute requirements for proper care. Care of the battery includes not only keep ing it filled to the proper level with distilled water, but testing the gravity of the electrolyte in all cells at least once each month, when if found to be in an undercharged condition, it should be fully charged at once If the car is not being driven far enough or fast enough to do this-the battery should be charged from an outside direct cur rent source. Every storage battery owner should have a hydrometer syringe to make gravity tests, or should have his battery tested regu- larly at a Willard Service Station. Cards emitting owners to free month ly filling and inspection may be ob- tained from your local service station.
 Third: Dealers should direct all customers with battery troubles to our nearest service station In the ab- scnce of defective conditions, the bat tery owner must expect to pay for necessary repairs. However, where d battery is ruined or worn out through the ignorance of the owner we have adopted an adjustment policy whereby owners turn in their old batteries and receive new ones at special price Such adjustments cannot be expected on batteries over fifteen months old. In all cases, however. liberal allow ance will be made at any Willard Ser vice Station for an old battery in ex- change for a new one.

New Car to Embody De signs of Former Car,
 and to Cost Less

The next big step in the automo- bile business is the all-absorbing topic among manufacturers, dealers and other visitors at the New York show.
 Whether four cylinders, six cylin- ders. eight cylinders or twelve are to be used in the car of the future does not seem to agitate the pubic today nearly as much as deeper ques- tions of quality comfort and econ omy. The average man is interested in buying motor car which will day in and day out without trouble which will enable him to take out his family in comfort and without crowd ing. Whether the car is four or twelve cylinders does not bother his head as long as his motor runs smoothly and quietly, takes him over the hills easily and enables him to start quickly.

TIRE SIZES CHANGE
 WITH THE SEASONS
Branch Manager for Good year People Has Few
 Things to Say

"Worl, toward simplyfying the number of tire size has made very satisfactory progress, as anyone who remembers the tumble of a few years ago will agree" says Mir. Roseland. branch manager The Goodyear TIre & Rubber Co. At one time some companies listed and provided as many as 5l distinct sizes of tires for automobiles. In those days tires cost the consumer much more than they do now-and that was one of the reasons why

TUBES SHOULD BE
 WELL CARED FOR
Local Agent for Tire Com pany Gives Hints on
 Their Care

Mir. Messner of the Southwestern CarDuretOr Co. local selling agent for the Michelin Tire Co, says that the average motorist has learned by experience to take proper care of the mechanism of his car. but ne too oftens neglects his tires. Ordinary care accorded spare castings and tubes is good insurance and will save the motorist both cash and trouble, and a few suggestions, therefor, regarding the proper care of tires may benefit the reader.
 For example, never carry spare tubes unprotected in the tool box they are almost certain to come in contact with sharp tools and perhaps greasy rags, or other greasy articles, all of which are deadly enemies to rubber
 Exposure to strong light and vary ing degrees of temperature is also injurious to rubber. robbing it of it's elasticity and making it brittle. AL ways carry spare tubes in the water proof cloth bags supplied by all ac- cessory dealers for this purpose.

It will be remembered by close followers of the business that the first motor Sedan was shown by Jeffery four years ago the first enclosed car without fore doors and providing access to the front compartment between divided front seats.
 The new Jeffery Sedan possesses all the beauty of the original car which sold at a high price. yet the 1915 product costs only little over 5000 and has a demountable winter top.
