NEWS IF MARRIAGE
 JUST MADE KNOWN

SCOTTSDALE, Nov. 24-When William J. Brown arrived unexpect- edly from Camp Kearney Monday morning, very handsome in govern ment khaki and a radiant smile, many were the glances of interest cast toward Miss Carriebel Parker, the teacher of our intermediate grades. Interest was colored by surprise when announcement was made that the young couple had been husband and wife since Sep tember 26, a week before the con- tingent left for training camp.
 The ceremony was performed in Tempe by Rev. Rountree, with the brides mother as the only witness. Tuesday night Billy returned from Camp Kearney. Mrs. Brown will continue in her place in the school

sharp pebbly bottoms cut the tread and make punctures liable. Aside from these disadvantages, found more in Georgia than in any other state, the highway is much improved.
 "The Lincoln highway between Phil adelphia and New York, is showing the effects of heavy traffic, it now being necessary to negotiate seven miles of this short run in low gear.
 "On the whole, there are few bad roads in the country today. The war has not, contrary to expectations, lessened the volume of road building and improvement. States have been aroused to the necessity of keeping up their roads, because they have found that better roads mean greatly volume of business. There are at least B. 655,000 automobiles in this country to- day and every owner spends money. He follows good roads. The more at tractive the roads, the more pictur- esque the surroundings, the greater the communitys prosperity Hence the | general alertness on the part of local governments.
 Tt doesn't take much to make a good road. Of course, asphalt, concrete, | macaGam and brick make the best !, roads but any road is good that does not have loose stones in the autoist's path. Stones. we have found, do more damage to the motorists car than any other obstacle. They bruise tires, de- stroy wheel alignment and break l springs.
 The west is striving to maintain it's supremacy ill good roads, by a big campaign in 1918. North and South Dakota are getting busy and Georgia is making plans that should please the southern tourist.
 "The five tire testing fleets of the Goodrich company, consisting of 4 cars, have been out on the roads since J early last March.
 "They have negotiated every road in the country, good, bad and indiffer- ent, solely for the purpose of giving their tires the most thorough test Every model of car is used and the castings run until worn out. All this | expenditure, which approaches the $500, 900 mark for the year, is for the .5ML purpose of finding ways to give tie autoist more tire wear"

MOTOR JAR VALUE
 DURING WAR TIME
 HELD IMPORTANT

There has been so much claimed and counter claimed regarding the exact position of the automobile in the eco- homie life of the nation, it seems about time that certain easily obtained data should be officially collected and dis seminated.
 Unofficially, the question seems to have been pretty well disposed of. Fully fifty, and often greater, per cent of car owners interviewed by manu- facturers and distributors, declare their car indispensable to the expeditions conduct of affairs.
 And after all is not expedition the most essential thing in America right now? If we are going to arm to the teeth" in the quickest time ever known and pay out, to carry on the war, more money per capita than was ever con- tributed by any nation, does it not fol- low tllat the greatest efficiency is nec- essary? And can there be efficiency in this matter without expedition? Curtailment of automobiles means curtailment of movement, and move ment is certainly essential right now yet some WiseacreS talk glibly about cutting down the supply of steel for the manufacture of cars. They seen to forget that only five per cent of the steel production of the country is used | in automobile manufacture. Where | could that small percentage be better employed than in serving the means fol l speeding up all other lines of en- deavor.

 Mrs. Charles Miller is in receipt of letter from Mrs. H. B. Whitney, formerly of this place, but more re- gently of Craig, Colo, conveying the sad information of her husbands s death, which came suddenly as the result of an accident while he was driving a four-horse team down mountain side. It is thought the horses became frightened and ran away, throwing him out as he was found lying unconscious in a deep 1 gulley at the side of the road. Al though help came immediately. there was nothing to be done for him. He regained consciousness only long enough to recognize Mrs. Whitney, and not enough to talk and give any information as to the cause of the sad accident.

GOOD ROADS BOOST
 PROPAGANDA GAINS
 PLEASING RESULTS
By Mir. c. H Howard, Manager Phoe- nix B. F. Goodrich Rubber Go. Depot.


 nix B. E. Goodrich Rubber Go. Depot. The millions that the government, the states and other agencies have in- vested this year in good roads have not been spent in vain. According to information received by the writer from Akron, the E. F. Goodrich Rub Der company's tire testing cars are now returning to the factory from every part of the country. During nine months of steady touring, they have travelled approximately 5,000,00 miles -the equivalent of girdling the globe 200 times and report that there is hardly nook or cranny today that is not accessible to the motorist This is due to the big increase of road i'm provement; even the desert no longer holding terrors for the automobilist with nomadic tendencies. In fact, the slistening trails across the Great American and Mojave desert testify to greater tourist travel, perhaps, than any other two roads in the country. Condensed, these are the principal observations of the tire testing fleets: "The Pacific coast has the finest roads in the country Consequently the motorist here gets more tire mile- age and uses less gasoline per mile than in any other region.
 Eastern highways are grooming under the weight of motor trucks engaged in hauling-an industry sprung into being since railroad freight congestion made the use Of other conveyances i'm perative. This is noted particularly between Boston and New York.
 Prosperity in the farming states of the west has never been greater. There are few farmers in the six big farming states who do not possess automobiles All the field work is done by tractors. The horses are used in the making of new roads for the motorist.
 The 2,200 mile run from Chicago to Los Angeles is the finest pleasure tour in the country. Gasoline can be had every fifty miles, and there is only one tough spot in the entire route forty mile stretch near Ash Fork. Ariz.
 Maine is the most backward in road betterment. Along the seacoast the roads are good, but in the interior one Is apt to encounter much trouble. Notwithstanding the war, trans continental travel has been greater than in any previous year.
 Stones are the worst enemies of the motorist. They bruise the fabric and deterioration starts at once. although blowout may not occur for five hun dred miles afterwards.
