SHOE FAMINE
 WILL MI HI
 COUNTRY

The United States army or navy
 will not be affecter by the shot famine which now prevails in Euro pean countries due to the fact that the requirements Of the Allied armies are so great said an official of one of the large rubber companies ot Akron yesterday.
 This statement was brought forth by the publication of an announcement from Rome, Italy, made by John F sucks. VIs Drcsiden1 of American Chamber of Commerce and general manager of the American Shoe Ma chinery company in Italy, when he said: "A bare-footed Europe is not inn probable if the war continue. At the present time a pair of heavy mountain shoes will last a soldier about six weeks. and the soles and heels of these shoes are'even studded with hob nails to secure this service"
 R Carroll of the E. v Goodrich Rubber company, in commenting further upon this article, said: If this government should adopt Textan footwear for it's army and navy, there bst securing not only an unlimited sup ply cf fiber composition soles as com pared with the leather soles, longer service and greater comfort to the men Uould be assured at no greater cost than leather equipment"
 Continuing, he said, There are few American people who have come to realize the immense production possi- bIities of the modern rubber boot and shoe factories. In this one Goodrich plant alone We manufacture upwards If 20,000 pairs per day or enough to ccuip a complete army corps every working day. You may call it fore sight or preparedness or anything you like, but at the very beginning Of this war, more than two and half years ago, we began to build an organization, to enlarge our factories for greater productions and, in fact, add every facility that would enable us to serve the greatest demands the government could make upon us and still not af- feet our regular trade channels In fact. our offer of the entire Goodrich resources to the government some weeks ago was made with this very thought in mind and while we have not yet been called upon. we desire to re-affirm this offer at this time and stand ready and willing to cope with almost any situation that may con front us. This, We believe, is what constitutes a real service to our gov ernment, for we are now capable, of equipping the present army of the United States with rubber shoes or boots within five ordinary working days and still not neglect any of our established trade"
 IL is unfair to the leather sole to draw comparison between it and the one made of Textan, for this footwear has been proven to outwear even the hob nailed soles and heels of the leather shoe. It is possible that what might be called a war emergency will bring the American people to a full and complete realization of the wearing qualities of rubber. Their motor cars are equipped with rubber tires, not leather. Why, then, should rubber ioot@ear not become practical? An answer to this will be found when the extreme shortage of leather-bu shoes will demand those made of rubber be adopted.

SCOTTSDALE, May 12.-Tne clos ing day of school was celebrated in an interesting manner Wednesday after noon. The afternoon was in charge of the Parent Teachers Association and at the short business meeting reports of various committees were given.

The proportion of sales of roadsters and seven passenger cars of the larger types is about the same. The largest number of sales by far are of the com monty known five-p passenger type Offsetting the seven passenger cars with the roadster types an equation equal to the five passenger type is se- cured, so that in making estimates of the possible haulage powers of the city's cars it is safe to estimate each registered vehicle as a five passenger machine.
 On this basis the first trip of the total cars of the city of Phoenix would carry out of the city 12,9S0 per sons. more than one half of the esti- mated total population inside the cor porate limits. The second trip would completely depopulate the city.
 In making these comparisons and calculations Mir. Martin declares that he is not taking into consideration several hundreds of cars now in the storerooms and showrooms of the various dealers and the second hand cars which have been stored in various houses of the city. If these should be added to the total large stores of pro- visions and other necessities could be taken from the city at the same time that the poplation was being removed.
 In point of emphasis of the number of cars which are not included in the lists as shown at the office of the sec retary of state.

While the possibilities of attack on

This is also interesting, declares Mir. Mar tin, because of the proximity to the city of the Roosevelt reservoir
 Should occasion arise," declares MT. Martin Phoenix has inside its boundaries enough automobiles to transport from the city to the moun- tains every resident, carrying them al the rated capacity of the cars Two trips by each car in the city would accomplish this gigantic feat If the population of the city, inside the cor porate limits is estimated at 25000 there would be room in several of the last cars out for food and clothing"
 In this connection, declares MT. Martin. the figures of automobiles in the city are Interesting. Since the first Of this year 2,596 motor vehicles have been registered in the office of the secretary of state as owned and operated inside the city of Phoenix In the s'.mo period the total number of cars registered inside the county of Maricapa has been 4141 The regis tia tiors by month for both the city and county as secured from the office of I Iz,, fDl1
