CHEVROLET. JAR
 SHIPMENT DOES
 NOT LAST LONC

Everyone around the Brown Dryer Motor company's sales room is wear ing a broad smile since receiving the new "490' Chevrolets this week. The new model is such a great improve ment over the ChevroletS thus far seen in Phoenix that it is creating an un- precedented demand for the car. The cnly drawback is the difficulty in get ting the factory to loosen up and sup ply cars as fast as they can be sold.
 The new Chevrolet is a complete car in every respect. It has the demount- able rims and one mon top. It has a water pump to insure constant cooling even in rough going and on steep hills. It has new honeycomb radiator of the highest class construction It has a new geared oil pump with an oil gauge on the dash. The ignition is by the new Remy improved system with the same reliable two-unit starting and lighting system that has done a great deal to make the Chevrolet popular.
 For the comfort of passengers there are pockets on all four doors, and in the tonneau a foot rest and robe rail have been added.
 Six of these new model Chevrolets were received Friday morning and Friday night all were sold. Two more carloads have been ordered for this month and another one is expected in a few days By the middle of Septem- bec the Brown-Dryer company hopes to get caught up sufficiently so that there will be one car that can be left in the show room to relieve the present baroness

BUY AUTOMOBILES
 NOW |S ADVICE
 OF b|C DEALERS

Back of the advice of a number of motor car manufacturers to buy your car now is great deal of sound req soning,' says M. L. Burkhead of the Borderland Motor company, Arizona distributors for Haynes cars.
 Surely and not altogether slowly the federal authorities are diverting the materials which form the basis of auto mobile manufacture to army channels. Not a few concerns which were mak- ing supplies for the automobile trade a month ago, have turned their plants over to the government.
 Automobile factories, not protected by long time contracts, are already having difficulty in buying steel The alloys of tungsten, nickel, and vanadi- um are going to be particularly hard to get and correspondingly higher in price. The government is using these metals in quantities in building the ships and motor trucks that are neces- sary in transporting food and men.
 "A fair example of what may be seen in American automobile factories is to- day in evidence in England. The Rools- Royce, Daimler, Sunbeam, and Wolse- ley factories ceased making passenger cars for domestic use long ago. In France, the Fiat and Bertiliet con- panies have turned over their entire

MARMON TH|RTY-F DESIGNED
 TO SATISFY EXlCTiNC DEMANDS

With practically all motor car owners finding a greater pleasure in driving their own cars than ever be- fore. it is essential that the automobile must be easy to handle so that the driver can ride with as much comfort as the passengers said NJ. O. O'Neill sales manager of the O'Neill Auto company, agents of the Marmon S4
 Motor car manufacturers have been endeavoring to meet this requirement. for some time and it has resulted in an increasing number of owners doing their own driving.
 Tn the Marmon every convenience has been placed within the drivers reach, the levers being within a com fortable distance from the wheel so that the driver can easily drop his hand from the steering wheel to the gear control or the emergency brake lever. The carburetor and, adjusting buttons are on the coWl dash as are the lighting and ignition switches.
 Tt is entirely practical for a woman to handle the car on long journeys without fatigue, and many women drivers have undertaken long journeys, driving with perfect comfort. Extra ordinary large braing capacity in ad- dition to an ability to accelerate from ten to fifty miles an hour in about twenty seconds, has made the scien-

part-of any persons education to brush up against others; learn their views and ideas, and to learn how to express his own in turn. It broadens the mind and breeds self confidence, and has a big bearing on success in life. Many people firmly believe that the biggest advantage in a college edu- cation is the broadening mental effect which comes through contact with oth CT people from different walks in life.
 "In youth the desire for sociability is instinctive, and if a high spirited youth cannot get it on the farm, the city naturally looks more attractive. Here is where the automobile plays an important part in farm life. It pro- vides just the safety valve needed to let out the excess energies and spirits of your growing boys and girls. It gives them an opportunity to enjoy a real community and social life. It pro- vides the recreation and change thatN is necessary to the development of growing bodies and minds. Then too it solves the problem of getting the children to school. regularly-and that without taking the horses from their regular work, or taking up much of their parents time. In bad weather the cnlldlen neither need be absent nor exposed to the dangers of climatic changes.
 An automobile also helps the par ents to give the children a better and more complete education. It puts com paratively distant high schools, or pos- sibly even a college or agricultural school within easy reach. 20 or 30 miles can be covered to give the chil- flrap 1aa of of tages without taking them away from the protecting circle of home. Prob ably no other one thing exerts so great an influence as the automobile in keep ing the young folks satisfied and con tented on the farm. And surely no other one thing gives them so many opportunities to broaden their minds and absorb information from many sources that will be of direct benefit to them in their every day life on the farm

AUTOMOBILE: HELPS .HO[D
 FAMILY T|ES

There are so many angles to up-to- date business today that a successful business man must keep posted and be able to talk on almost any subject, v says General Manager Hotchkiss, of the Overland Arizona company. Take for example the necessity of keeping the young folks on the farm, and this in direct connection with conservation of the food supply of the nation. The former has a most important bearing on the latter.
 Not many young people leave the farm beacuse they are afraid of hard work, but because they feel the need of more variety in their lives. You can hardly blame a boy or girl for feeling dissatisfied if. he or she sees the years of youth drifting by without much op- pOrtunity1 to make acquaintances and to enjoy life. And they need to make acquaintances and mingle with other people, it is not merely a matter of pleasure with them, although that is the way they may look at it when they are young. It is a part-and a big

tifically constructed Marmon A espe- cially easy to handle in congested traffic as well as on long tours ove> country roads"
 One of the outstanding features of the Marmon 34 is light weight below the springs. This has been made pos sible by the use of compound canti- lever cross suspension springs located below the rear of the body at the eX- treme end of the frame.
 By scientific construction Marmon design has eliminated over q thousand pounds, and much of this was taken from unsprung destructive weight. Lighter weight and perfect balance have resulted in Marmon owners ob- tainirg from 40 to 30 per cent more mileage from their fuel and tires than owners of other major class cars. This also results in luxurious riding com fort at touring speed up to 55 miles an bOur

 The traditional polteness of the Frenchman is not lacking in his treat ment of his guests from the German army, Brady says He saw a large group of them uncrating and handling shipments of goods from America. The Germans work in squads under their own officers, When any piece of work is required, French officer explains what is wanted to the German officer and requests him to have it done The German officer then gives instructions to the men,
 Brady, who was receiving shipments of Packard trucks, said that the prison CTS were allowed to carry water and fill the radiators of the trucks, but otherwise were not permitted to touch the vehicles

entirely automatic, and without

Because of its speed. it is able to do
the work of about 60 expert labor
