GAS REDUCT CT|ON JAW MAY BE IF GENERAL NATURE
Local Auto Dealer Forsecs Universal Plan to Bring Down Quality of Gasoline
 Which Means Problem

Adoption by the city council of Los Ancgelcs of an ordinance which re- quires burning of d lower grade of gasoline by motor cars, is pointed to by F. r. Hughes, manager of the Leach Motor Car company as a sig nificant fact. Tt is merely q mat fer of time until the same condition will prevail in other cities of the United States, and it would be folly to assume that we will be allowed 10 go scot free from such restriction" says the local dealer in Premiers, Liberty motor cars and Kings

PhOenix Man InpentS HeQt
 Plan For Car

An extremely versatile utiiza- tion of surplus engine heat has been embodied in an invention recently patented by Charles w. Barnett of Phoenix. The device has all the advantages of muffler, plus the reduction of back pressure. The heat is de- clared to be evenly distributed throughout those sections of the car which it is desired to heat. Devices prevent excess heat in any particular spot and preclude the possibility of injurinq uphol- stery, robes or wearing apparel. The heat may be controlled ab- solutely and the front or rear compartments may be both heated at the same time or separately, while in warm weather none of the heat need be used.
 The device is easily controlled and the car owner may avail him self of the heating facilities or allow the exhaust to take place in the usual way with a virtual twist of the wrist"

 New Ideas In Body Style
 and Construction Local Firm Is Showing Model

The sportster, the latest Olds- mobile eight creation has made it's first appearance in Phoenix. This handsome new member of the Oldsmobile family which is on display in the sales rooms of the Ferguson-Keeler company, is at tracting attention because of it's unusual long, trim, graceful lines which are so suggestive of speed. The body is slightly narrowed and is rakishly lowered to a racy line without sacrificing practical com fort. The body rests on long, re- silent underslung springs and seats four in comfort.
 There is no suggestion in the speedy lines of this new Oldsmo- bile which is not well taken. In it's power and speed it differs in no wise with the old established qual- ities of the product of the Olds

operated automobile.
 Because conservation is the slogan of the day; because gasoline is high, and because every advantage must be taken of the poor quality of gasoline now available. it behooves the motor ist to avail himself of every contrap- tion, apparatus, mechanical device, or other means of getting the most for his money.
 T have recently added to my line the Columbia automobile. It is a regular car' all the way through, but there is one virtue which must be con- sidered among it's foremost attributes. This is the thermostat controlled radiator. In cold weather it is closed, allowing the motor to retain all of the natural heat it generates, and stimu- lating combustion through a readier vaporization of the none too easily gasified fuel.
 T believe the Columbia was rightly named. Columbia, at this time more than ever before, is a land of saving. think 1 shall name my new Columbia car the Thrift automobile" and be- cause 1t is some boat it might also be designated the "Gem of the Ocean"

NINETY MORE PACKARD TRUCKS TRAVEL
 OVERLAND TO ATLANTIC SEAPORT CITY

Atlantic port during the past week. These army transports as well as the large number of com mercial carriers engaged in inter- city hauling are convincing evil dence of the motor trucks ability in long distance work.
 The acute railroad congestion has made it necessary for motor trucks to move almost every kind of freight between cities, even extra long hauls of low class freight which is logical railroad work during normal times" says F. D. Merrill, truck salesman for McArthur Brothers. Trucks, during this transportation crisis. have ably proved themselves fast and efficient long distance car riers.
 Establish Permanent Routes
 Certain cross country hauls have been permanently taken over by motor trucks. These include shorter hauls of all kinds, and long hauls of express parcel post, and other shipments where speed is essential. The carrying of these loads by trucks will increase greatly with the extension of bet ter roads.
 Many states are preparing now for greater activity in r-city motor truck hauling in the months to come. For example, Michigan's war board has assured a confer ence of highway officials that it will devote it's s5,0O0O00 war fund toward keeping the main high ways open to motor truck travel.
 That other cities and states will do likewise appears highly probable, for it has been general ly recognized that the motor truck seems to >be the agent of relief fran, nreSept +raf fife conditions

RADIATOR CLEANING

One of the simplest and most ef- ficient methods of cleansing the radi- ator of the scale, which forms in it. is to fill the water system with a strong solution of washing soda and hot water, running the engine for about fifteen minutes.

It is an admirable idea to wrap good tools, such as drills, wrenches, etc., in oiled cloths before slowing them away in the tool compartment. The oiled cloth prevents the implements from becoming rusty. which is quite likely to happen in the course of a strenuous seasons running.

CORD TIRES LIN
 JORDAN SPORT
Fact Developed That Riding Qualities Vastly Better
 With the New Kind

Car owners are beginning to realize the desirability of cord tires over the fabric tires. Aside from their smart appearance, cord tires have again and again demonstrated their superiority over the fabric tires both in power saving and easy riding qualities
 While tire manufacturers are rap idly bringing the cost of cords within the reach of automobile owners, the cord tire is still the mark of distinc- tion on the fashionable car. In keep ing with every other feature of the new Jordan sport marine, Silvertown cord tires have been selected as standard equipment by the Jordan Motor Car company
 Before making the choice Jordan engineers proved to their own satis- faction that the cords would effect a great saving in power because they ride with the road rather than resist it. This is due to the greater resil- fence in the cord tires. 1t is the greater residence, too, that gives the cord tires cushioning effect superior to the fabric tires. The sport marine is furnished with five cord tires and five wire wheels.
