Now, when martial spirit is rampant, when under the in spiration of the actual din of battle noising it's tales across the sea, the present Lieutenant John Philip Scusa, U. $. N. R.

modern speedway, tires heat up until a point of equilibrium is reached when just as much heat is escaping from the tire as is being generated by it's constant rolling. On a hot day this point of equilibrium may be 40 or 50 degrees higher than on q cool day, and an increase of air pressure will return to normal. Here is where the motorist often makes a mistake For if he reduces his pressure after it has risen slightly, because of the rapid flexing of the tire in fast driv- ing, when the tire has stood for a while the pressure will drop and the tire is quite liable to be run underin- Hated and soon put out of commission Pressure must be kept up, in spite of conditions of temperature, if tires are to run out their normal life.

 A shipment from the local chapter to the Pacific division headquarters Thursday included 300 sweaters, 800 surgical dressings and 270 refugee garments and hospital supplies.
 The Pacaific division during the months of June, July and August shipped more than ten tons of foil to smelters to be turned over to the gov ernment.

 The Red Cross general office now occupies Room in the War Work building, having formerly been located
 directly across the hall from it's pres

Work of the Red Cross must con tinue-there must not be a cessation of activities"
 This was the statement of Mrs w.. K. James, chairman of chapter pro duction, while Phoenix celebrated peace.
 The work of the Red Cross must continue declared the leader of wO- men workers as she pointed out the necessity of carrying on the devotion to the great cause that has been , shown by the members of the Central Arizona chapter of the Red Cross.
 Mrs. James also called attention to the fact that the needs of the com munitv occasioned bv the influenza epidemic had required a vast amount of work which could not be neglected. While this claim has been met, the obligation assumed by the chapter has also been considered, every quota be- ing filled as ordered by division head quarters. That this standard may be maintained Mrs. James suggests that every woman who is well do not only

 Reporting the work of the Central Arizona chapter of the Red Cross as excellent, the Pacific division com mends the october shipment according to word received from headquarters by Mrs. W. K. James, chapter produc ton chairman. Every garment is in spected before the shipment is made and it is largely due to the care exerted by the inspection committee headed by Mrs William G. Leutz, that the local chapter has gained an enviable reputation on the coast. The knitting inspectors, Miss Lena Townsend and Miss Lizzie Townsend are also respon- sible for the quality of work credited the Phoenix and Southside workers.
 
 In view of the fact that constant calls are being entered at headquarters for pneumonia jackets, flu masks and other needed supplies by the Emergen = | cy hospital, surgical dressing workers have been requested to hold themselves 1 in readiness to answer to the call. The department has never failed to respond , to an order but owing to the numerous coses of illness the corps of workers must do double duty to carry on the requirements.

The New Edison

The phOnograph is Thomas A. Edi- sons favorite invention That MT. Edi- sons desire to reach the masses was not founded upon mere commercialism may be appreciated by quoting his own words:
 "Of all the various forms of entertain ment in the home. l know of nothing that compares with music. It's safe and sane appeals to all the finer emotions, tends to bind family influences with a wholesomeness that links old and young | together. It is a safety valve in the home."
 Throughout the quarter of a century | that has elapsed since the invention of the phonograph, Edison has never lost sight of his determination to make it a more perfect musical instrument. In fact. the goal of his desire was to make it the perfect musical instrument, for of all the children of his brain. he seems to love this one most. and so it came about that, some four years ago, he realized that the growing needs and de slres of the people were for more pre- tentious muSic-compositio of greater 1 length-that should be recorded more ] perfectly and reproduced entirely free I from metallic harshness.
 Setting a still higher goal to his am l bitions, the inventor plunged into his 1 new problem. Entirely new types ot records and reproducing had to be de- vised, new material for records had tc be found, material pliable. indestruct- l lble, and above all, so perfectly smooth | that no scratching sounds should be audible to mar the beauty of the music
 So 1t came to pass after 30 years ot study and spending nearly $3.O00. .OO0 ir experimental work, MT. Edison has sue ceeded in making what he calls the New Edison Diamond Disc phonograph.

TEMPORARY REPAIRING

If a crack develops in a pipe or tank, or even in the radiator, and no solder ing outfit is available, it is possible to effect a very satisfactory temporary repair by running melted rosin over the hole to a depth of about quarter of an inch. This repair may be made somewhat more permanent by placing a piece of leather over the hole before running the rosin.

TRUE CAUSE OF TIRE HEATING DETERMINED

A point that is not generally known. concerning the performance of the tires that equip the racing cars of the speed demons on our various speed ways, is that heating up9 of the tire is the result of internal friction caused by the rapid flexing of the tire, rather than the result of the temperature outside the tire. In continuous run ming, at the terrific speeds of the

Have you heard that rip-roaring, rapid-fire soldier song hit that is going the rounds these days? You Keep Sending Elm Over and We'll Keep Knocking Elm Down''-of course it's bit of vocal hot shot intended espe- cially for the kaiser, and if you are not familiar with 1t, you'll do well to drop into the nearest Columbia dealers and hear it on one of the new Columbia records. Somebody has called it an illus trated song. because it is being illus trated every day by our boys over in France. Arthur Fields sings it with a punch in every paragraph.
