BUICK DEALERS LAY PLANS FOR
 GREATER BUSINESS NEXT YEAR

The management of the Babbitt-
 Poison Company, dealers in Buick
 Haynes. Jordan and Maxwell motor cars, are prepared to go to any ex- trcmes in 1917 to meet the demand for tho cars they are handling in this
 district during the year 1917. The >allotnents of all four makes have been enlarged for the years trade, and new arrangements are being made
 for securing prompt and efficient
 delivery. Trade demands have been
 so large in the past several months
 that tho company has found it diff
 cult to secure Buicks, especially, and sometimes other cars to meet the
 great demand with which they are
 faced.
 f it bcomes necessary. a repre-
 sentative of the local office will be
 sent to the eastern markets to force
 the early shipment and the efficient delivery of the allotments of these
 four makes; of cars to Phoenix. This representative will see that the cars
 are delivered to the railroads ac-
 cording to the contract, and that they arc speedily sent on their way to Phoenix. where motorist awaits thOir arrival The management ha, | decided that this plan is the most effective for securing service for To- cal patrons. and has decided to en- force delivery if necessary through this channel
 The demand for Bucks has not
 been the only startling difficulty with
 which tho Bahbitt- Poison Company
 has been faced. So great has been the demand for the popular Jordar- car 'n the past several months. that recently tlc contract with the Jor- dan Motor Car Company has beeh doubled. Additional shipments of this machine w.ll be received in this city soon.

RADIATOR FACTORY
 UNIQUE ADDITION
 TO AUTO BUSINESS

Phoenix is unique in many acquisi- tions which it claims for this state alone However, it is probable, that Phoenix is far ahead of many much larger cities of the east in the owner- ship of the only strictly radiator house in the whole of the southwest. Few cities of this size can boast of business devoted alone to the re- pair and equipment of radiators.
 The Arizona Radiator X Lamp Re pair Company of Phoenix, is the on- ly strictly radiator establishment in this district. IL caters to the trade of this state and generally to the southwest. and it's reputation is fast reaching out to the corners of the state. Considering the time it has been estabiished-less than one year it has already become widely known and recognized.
 The business Of the house is fully defined in the name. The manage ment specislizes in the remaking, re- building, repairing and equipment of radiators. In addition, special at tention IS paid to lights and their equipment The field is not only un- limited. but is one of the most neces- sary in the automobile line, and the demand for the establishments ser. vice is constantly growing.
 Specially trained men are needed for accurate and efficient work on r9 1iators. The repairing of these most necessary parts of automobiles is an art in itself Greatest care is exercised in securely sealing the small cracks and leaks which are bound to come with age and hard use, and skilled men are needed to attend this work satisfactorily
 Under it's present management. the Arizona Radiator & Lamp Repair Company are devotirg their whole time with skilled mechanics to this work. They are turning cut work wsicli is equal to that of the factory

constantly on the floor. These men are tine best mechanics that money can employ, and all of them are tested for ability and knowledge. Their work is considered by many to be as good as can be done in the greater establishments of the coun- try, and they are especially t'ai~~f on the lines and makes of cars hand led ty the company. The force has constantly neen increased during the nast year. and has been more than doubled since Babbitt- Poison secured control of the establishment
 Ono of the more recent of the de- Da-tments which the company has established and department which is giving the company much favo ah'o comment in this valley. is that in which electrical repairs are done. With George McClarty in charge of the electrical dep?fiment, and with several competent electricians work ing under him, the company Is able to give efficient and ready aid to the autcist whose juice is not work ing as it should.
 This department is equipped to charge at the least twenty-five bat terics each day It is open at all hours, and Can handle any style or make of battery. In addition. the department makes a speciality of find ing wiring defects and other intri- cate troubles which cause motorists to worry and swear.
 The actual stock cn hand in the accessory department of the Babbott Polson Company is startling. In tires alone the company handles both Lee and Goodyear tires-there is m stock at the present time al- most SI0,000 worth of material n addition to this. other tires are en route from the factories. and before the middle of the month the supply on hand will be much larger Other accessories have been increased in equal proportion, and the comDanv' is prepared to meet large demands dur ing the year which is just opening.
 The establishment of the Babbitt- Poison Company is beyond doubt one of the largest and most modern in the southwest. " F. Gardner is general manager in charge of the house. and R. F.. Lewis and NJ.

KEEP ID RIGHT |S
 SAFETY WATCHWORD
 SAYS THIS WRITER

A contributor to the Appleton Post of Appleton, Wis, makes the follow ing interesting suggestion to motorists desiring to avoid trouble when they arrive at crossings:
 There is no catchword that if re- membered will make driving simple and a pleasure, which il is not now at crossings That word is Right, which means-to the right of every thing at crossings-where there is traffic officer, he controls traffic, of course. Confining ourselves to street crossings. the motor car must hit nothing coming from the right. but slow down and proceed back of or to the right of vehicle coming from the right side of the thoroughfars.
 So watch out to the rlgnt, at su eet crossings and go the right of any thing coming from that direction. You are not compelled by law to look to the left. as the driver com ing from that direction must if neces- say to avoid collision. give way or stop until you are out of his way. IL is impossible at times to look both ways, so every driver should know that at crossings he must give WAY for everything coming from d right hand street. If he does this he will avoid accident in many instances.
 This is d long description of right of way but it is needed to drive out many former ideas we had on the subject. Of course. it is rhe prac- tice of all good drivers to slow down at every crossing and look up every cross street and all drivers must learn to do that sooner or later, as the law provides that they must II simply IS a question of care such as all drivers should respect.

Early Railroad Troubles,

The first railroad strike was declared
III 1877. The use Of this weapon did
not become widely prevalent until the
period from 1883 to 1893, when there
was great number of important
strikes in the United States and Can
ada. In 1892 the industrial and trans
portation world was convulsed by six
great strikes, including the one at
Homestead, Pa, and two railway
strikes. Fully 100000 men were affect
ed by the railroad strike of 1894, origi-

Gompers' Appeal to Russian Workmsn
Model of Patriotism.
Faithful alike to the United States,
to the cause of organized labor, to lib
erty and progress, Samuel Gompers'
appeal to the Council of Workmen's
and Soldiers Deputies in Petrograd Is
as fine in inspiration as in expression.
Whether needed or not, it must stand
as model of Industrial democracy as
opposed to international socialism mis-
led and misused.
Mr.. Gompers clearly shows that the
worthy ends of the council can be
gained only by the defeat of autocracy
and that German intrigue in Russia is
necessarily hostile to such a purpose;
that commitments at this time to the
broad proposition that there must be
no annexations OF indemnities are GER
tain to be in the interest Of the military
despotisms resting upon those ideas
and that the purpose of the American
commission headed by MI. Root Is not
to interfere with the local affairs OF
the Russians, but to help them 10
maintain their liberties and, by vic
torious issue of the war, secure them
forever.

In this war are chiefly moral with

mocracy of the world, despotic rule
