To the Editor of The Herald:
 I wish to add my congratulations with that of others upon the magnificent fight made by The Age Herald and its inimi- table cartoonist, Walter Blackman, in interest of pr. Barrett for the presidency of the city commission. The result in my judment. is to be regarded as tri- umph for the high standard observed by The Age Herald and pr.

While it was real ized that the commission itself has the assignment of places on the board, 1t WIS felt that announcement should be made that the friends of Professor Burruss are entirely satisfied with Commissioner Hornady as the man in charge of edu- cation and that the place their candidate would seek would be that which has the direction of public utility matters
 The same election officers will serve who had charge of the election last Mon day.

truck orders in this country. the
French army placed corps of trained
inspectors at the various factories
furnishing war trucks. These men
passed on all shipments before they
left the plant. They had absolute
authority to accept or reject ears,
and even to specify changes in de-
sign.
One of the designs that found
most favor in French army circles
was the Jeffrey Quad which, with
its tremendous pulling power applied
TO all four wheels, was an ideal
vehicle for the strenuous needs of
r,urope's battle fields.
Stationed at the Jeffrey factory as
= French INSPECTOR was p. G. Little.
Titles experience dates back to his
first engineering work in England,
where he was a member OF the en-
eineering staff of the Crossley Mo-
tors Limited. Later he crossed to
Arizona republican., 1917-01-21

this country and went 10 work in
similar capacity with the Marathon
company Of Nashville, Tenn. He
was next chief designer for the
Haynes company at Kokomo. Ind
| He went from there to his work
as inspector for the French army.
After the war inspection work was
finished at Kenosha, G.. W. Nash,
-quck to recognize Titles ability,
employed him as chief Inspector for
the Nash Motors company. In this
CAPACITY Little has full charge of the
inspection of Jeffrey cars and trucks.
| Inspection has always been hobby
with Mr.. Nash. He has always gone
on the theory that if the product
was made troube-pro from the
rough castings through to the final
assembly, that it would give long,
consistently good service when it
finally landed as finished ear in the
