Credit Men Keep Uncle Sam Posted
 on Ability to Buy.

Liberty Bond slackers among busi- ness houses throughout the nation are being revealed by credit men whose duty it is to analyze the financial statements of firms in all classes oi trade
 Preliminary investigations of expert credit men in checking up the finan- cial statements of many concerns in various businesses in all parts of the United States find that the percentage of Liberty Bonds of the first and sec ond issues among their assets was startlingly small s
 It has been suggested that banking institutions would be justified in bring ing to the attention of their custom CTS, particularly those who are bor- rowers, the necessity for these patri- otic investments being made in req sOnable proportions.
 Credit men have undertaken to bring to the attention of the public the luke warmness of many business houses in backing the government in it's prose cution of the war The government is in the war business not only to de stroy Prussian autocracy but every vestige of disloyalty and opposition to the battle for world liberty

Hot weather always brings up the question on the part of the motorist, How much air shall I let out of my tires? The general run of opinion seems to be that a certain amount of sir should be let out of tires to make up for the increased air pressure caused by the heat,' said c. H. Howard, man. ager of the local B. F. Goodrich Rub Der company depot. This is wrong"
 'The B. r. Goodrich Rubber company took up the question, conducted several tests, and made careful analysis of the changes that took place when the tenn perature of the tire was variated. The result was quite surprising as it ex- ploded the popular theory held by many motorists that some air should be let out of the tire when the weather is warm.
 "A S4x4 tire was used for the tests. The pressure prescribed by all tire manufacturers for this size is 70 pounds. This was pumped into the tire at temperature of 40 degrees Fahr. and then gradually heated until it rose to 110 degrees Fahr. At this point the reading of the air pressure indicated iS.4, or an increase of S.4 pounds.
 This test was conducted chiefly to ascertain just how much the pressure

THE HONOR ROLL

Phoenix, Ariz., May 3, 1918.
 Arizona Republican.
 I have. been intensely interested in the list published from day to day en- titled Honor Roll" firms every mem- Der of which has subscribed for a Liberty bond, otherwise, full 100 per cent. American bunch.
 l abhor strikes and boycotts, but all d-blooded Americans are out to win the war. I therefore recommend that all such absolutely withhold their pat ronage from all classes of business not measuring up to proper specifications.
 If the proprietor management or re- sponsible head refuses to suitably sub scribe to Liberty bonds, or retains any person in his employ who so declines to subscribe, then I say, ignore that place the same as all, or part of it is doing the Win the War" policy.
 Even the janitor or office boy should take at least one bond; the payments are easy. or can be arranged so by a 100 per cent American business man for his employees with small wages. Perhaps in many cases the wages are pinched down by the employer, who could we'll afford to "loosen up." Why is every firm not on the honor holl? l would hold the heads abso- lutely responsible for the answer. | This is no time for slackers-every one of whom is being spotted and will be waited upon some fine day and firmly requested to immediately dis continue their pro- o-Germanism, as ev- erybody is either for or against our boys at the front, who are giving their precious lives to the greatest cause in human history, and woe be to the person living under the protec- tion of "Old Glory" who fails to ade- quately put up the proper share oi money necessary to supply our boys ir the service with all needful things tc win the war.
 l l sincerely trust that after midnight Saturday there will not be a firm ol business of any nature not in tho proper column when the list is checked up.
 Some say they cannot afford it. Why can't they? Can 100 per cen Americans afford to patronize sucl slackers? NO. And we do not propose to eve ntry after midnight Saturday.

MESA. May 5.-Mesa district con- cluded its labors tonight in the inter- est of the third Liberty loan with q total of s112.000. This district includes Mesa, Alma, Lehi and Jordan, each community going well over the top. The apportionment for the district which was s62, 200, has been exceeded by $49.S00. As result of the Buy an- other Bond movement, 62 people bought bonds yesterday, the last day of the sale. Mr. Merten, of the Chau- tauqua course, made an appeal last evening which resulted in s2,200 of yes terday's amount being bought at the chautauqua.

FEDERAL AID ROAD
 PROJECT APPROVED

The office of public roads has transmitted to B. NJ. Atwood, state engineer, its approval of the project proposing construction of federal aid road from Antelope hill bridge through to the Maricopa county line on the road to Arlington.
 This approval also assures the flu ture approval of such federal aid on the remainder of this road through to Arlington, plans for which are now being prepared in the state engineers s office
 Mr Atwood has also received the approval of the office of public roads for the proposed construction of con- crete roadway from Grand canal bridge through to Tempe bridge on the Phoenix-Tempe highway. The plans and specifications of this work are nearly completed and on receipt of approval of these detailed plans {ld specifications, work will be promptly begun and this section of concrete pavement will be completed as soon thereafter as possible.

heat. As everyone knows from early school day lessons, all matter is com- posed of molecules. Heat is produced by their rapid motion. The more rap i'd the motion the greater the heat. In a condensed body there are naturally more molecules to the square inch and the space in which they move about is consequently lessened. It therefore takes greater heat or force to set them in rapid motion than it would in a less compressed state.
 People who have been in the noun tains will recall that a coffee pot bois quicker in the high attitudes where the air is thinner, than at home. This is another manifestation of this law of physics.
 Frequent observations conducted by Goodrich experts demonstrate that the vast majority of motorists keep their tires under inflated This is really the white plague of the pneumatic tire. It loosens the tread from the fabric, giving it a rough wavy appearance that soon renders it unfit for use. Even If the hot weather did make a little diff ference it would be policy to risk it rather than take the chance of having the tires under inflated Of the two evils, the latter is by far more univer- sal and destructive

increased. It would be a rare thing for air that was pumped into a tire at 40 degrees Fahr. to rise to 110 des grees Fahr. Yet, even in this extreme instance, the pressure rose but S.4 pounds which is not at all dangerous.
 Most tire users would say that the increase would be at least 20 pounds in such cases, while the far fetched theories of some wild-eyed motorists would lead one to suspect that the increase was anywhere from 100 to 800 pounds.
 "A more practical test-one that is more within the experiences of the average motorist, was then conducted. Another 34X4 tire was selected and pumped with the standard 70 degrees Fahr. The tire was then driven at a rapid pace through hot sand stretches to ascertain just how much it would heat up. The average was found to be about no degrees. Then the tire was taken to the laboratory and heated to Lthis temperature. The air pressure at this point was found to be 75.3 pounds This is a usual condition which re- suits have proven is practically negli- gible.
 The foregoing tests are really based upon a physics law; i e., the more l dense body the longer it takes to

A survey of lands and tractor own CTS in the county is being made by w. A. Barr county agricultural agent. as a means of completing the campaign for the increase of food production. This survey is definitely to decide just what can be done in regard to the planting of summer crops.
 Mir. Barr said yesterday he was receiving the cooperation of special committeeman in the several commu- nity farm bureaus of the county in carrying on this work. He said the tractor had become such a factor ip farming that it would greatly facih- tate blowing and other farm work, es- pecially for summer crops.

ago today the residents of Paris were
awakened by the sounds of such a
cannonade as they never had heard
before. It was Gen. ,Mangin's "coun-
ter preparation" against the great
German attack which the enemy be-
lieved was to bring him to the gates
Of Paris. -
In phrases tempered with joy the
morning newspapers outline the
great change that one short month
has brought The enemy. who was at
the gates Of Amiens, Rheims and
Compiegne. has been soundly beaten
and outgeneraled at every point. and
initiative has been wrung from him
by the military genius OF Marshal
Foch. The German command, 1t Is
said, has transferred the direction OF
operations to Gen. Won Boehn, spe-
cialist in retreats.
Allied troops, among whom the
part. have captured $4,000 prisoners
and more than LOO guns. This is
greater number than the allies have
taken in any other four weeks since
the beginning of the war.

Tuesday afternoon between the. naval

supersubmarine that attacked their
boat about 800 miles of the American

When spied the German U-boat was
about five miles away and opened IRE,
evidently with large caliber. long

eight shots. The United States gun

the Huns in getting into action and
sent back shot for shot.

were effective. as the German boat

As the transport under full steam
