WOMEN DRIVERS
 SCHOOL POPULAR

The Geo IT. Reuben school for vo- men drivers opened last Wednesday nth an attendance of 16, and the mum ncr taking advantage of this free course in the operation and care of rars promises Co double up SO rapidly as Co tax the capacity Of the Kissel and bort salcsrooms.
 -t have long felt" said Mir Reuben to
 Republican representative. that the women Of Phoenix were in need of practical instruction in the operation ard care of the cars they drive They drive well. unusually well, but there arc. unfortunately. many women, and men as well. who know how to operate Ia car who have no idea of It's proper care. no way of telling what is the mat trr when something seems to go wrong and no knowledge of the mechanical construction of the modern car.
 "To teach them these things is the object Of the school we have started, and VIC shall go into the matter thor ourhly. While it will be matter of considerable expense. we feel that it VII hc more than justified in the man power we will save by eliminating many calls for help that a little knowl- edge or the car will obviate. and the annoyance many drivers will cease to have when they can remedy minor ills themselves.
 For thc purpose Of instruction we arc taking the body off the chassis of new car. and will take up on the meetings Co follow all points of care and operation. as well as giving our students first hand knowledge of the construction of modern cars. which are very similar in a general way.
 POT Instance. one evening will be defoicd Co teaching the proper lubrl- cation or a car throughout. another to mo fine points of handling. just why certain things are done, what their ef- Feet is. and what happens when they are incorrectly done. Another evening VIII Do devoted to gears and gear shfting. one Co a study of the cylin- aers and pistons and their action, and % on until the whole theory of car con- irol care, and construction has been vone into.
 Tho first class was more than en- thusiastc,' continued MT. Reuben.

An Avery kerosene distillate tractor, shown at the recent Los Angeles tractor show, demon strating the absence of any vibra- tion in the machine with the left drive wheel resting almost three feet off the ground on a steel bar and the motor in action. It will be noted that the photograph shows no blur (except in the start ing wheel which runs with the motor) which would be very ap- parent had there been even the slightest vibration in the tractor. Neither would have MT. Smith, the Avery field manager, risked be- ing crushed under the machine if there had been any danger of the bar slipping from under the wheel caused by vibration. This is the first time in the history of tractor demonstrations that such a feat has been successfully attempted by an exhibitor. It shows beyond any doubt the sturdiness of the Avery.

ing to pull its load of blows to the specified minimum depth was required to lessen its load until such minimum depth was attained by reducing the number of blows pulled. Tractors failing to pull single bottom to the minimum depth were ruled off the field. Another rule permitted a dem onstrator to blow deeper than the minimum depth if he so desired. Still another rule specified that no tractor motor was to be run at more than 10 per cent above the speed indicated in the application, and must be operated at blowing speed.

"One young woman wanted to get into pair of overalls and get under the car and study it right off. All expressed great appreciation for the opportunity to learn about the machines they drive.
 cone point that want to emphasize is that this Is in no sense a school for drivers of Kissels and Dorts, in fact not one of the first 16 women to en- roll drives either car. I will have gen. eral charge of the sonool. ably assisted by Bert Bunbury, head of my service department, and his assistant, A. Ed wards, both graduate mechanics"

ROPER AUTO AGENCY
 NOW ONE YEAR OLD

October 1 was the first anniversary of the opening of the salesrooms of the Roper Motor company, and in that time this new concern has made a remark able record for sales, car renewals, and service.
 From the time the doors were opened a year ago the firm has sold 147 Max wells, 54 Chalmers, 31 Maxwell trucks, and 133 of "Roper's Renewed Road Runners" or rebuilt used cars.
 This makes a total of 365 cars, or an average of one per day, of a total val ue of about s375,000.
 MT. Roper attributes his success to the fact that he is handling an excep- tional line of cars, and that his pre- vious business experience here in charge of the Jefferson hotel gave him a wide acquaintance among desirable class of buyers.

characterization of the Fordson orator ia regular coal mine."
 There was over two-scor tents of various sizes erected on the grounds, varying in size from the huge exhibi- tion three-ring circus tent to the smaller affairs which housed the indi- vidual tractor exhibit with single ma chine. Backing up this huge canvas panorama was the parking field for automobiles, which daily took care of upwards of 2000 cars. The proximity of Los Angeles and the spendid roads leading to southern California from all directions made the motor car fav- orite means of transportation to and from the demonstration-esp especially so that the terminus of the nearest street car line was coniderably more than a mile from the field. and the proportion of visitors using this means of reach

 The affair as a manifestation of the war efficiency of this country in the matter of crop production was without a parallel. Daily there was a demon stration. of combination blowing in which from 45 to 50 machines of vari- ous makes and power participated, starting at different point each day.
 The committee in charge of the dem onstration ruled that there were to be no contests. and no decisions or awards. Land for demonstration purposes was allotted on the basis of the number of inches of blows which each exhibitor was to attach to his machine, and on the speed of the tractur-or, as it was expressed in the text, "the blowing speed in, m.p.h. multiplied by the blow ing width in inches" Any tractor fail

BUNION PLASTERS
 GOOD AS WASHERS

Most car owners know that the use of felt washers under the iron washers in certain instances is a useful idea. The felt washer gives an elastic hold, allowing for expansions or concentra- tion, and may keep the threads of an over tight nut from stripping.
 However, most of them do not know that the ordinary corn and bunion plasters make very. acceptable felt washers and are always easily ob- tained.

QUICK STARTS DO
 DAMAGE TO MOTORS

Do not think that you demonstrate skill or driving ability by making a quick getaway. You will have visible evidence of the individuality of this when you see your tire bills; but there is greater harm done, which you are not so apt to see, in the rear end and transmission of your car. Nine out of ten stripped pinions and rear axle keys can be attributed to this foolish prac- tice.

Wirslow Over the Top.

The final tabulation of figures
on the Liberty bond sale for
Winslow discloses that the total
sales amount to $1O6, $50, which
is over $4,000 more than the
quota assigned to us. If Winslow
had been given any kind of de-
cent apportionment of the $142,-
900 assigned to Navajo county,
Winslow would be entitled to a
blue star on it's honor flag. With
population of 10000 people in
the county, of which 1000 live in
the city. and with a tax valuation
of nearly $1O,O00,OO0, of which
less than $4,000, 900 is in Winslow
precinct, the powers in charge
of the bond sale put $76, 600 on
Winslow as her proportion.

Resolutions.

Whereas the Grim Reaper has again invaded
our ranks and removed from midst our be-
loved brother, George Zimmerman, it is meet
and proper that Division IS, o. R. c., of which he
was loyal and faithful member, should testify to
his sterling worth as a brother and citizen; and
at this time, while expressing our grief over the
passing of his spirit to the Great Beyond, we
would also offer our consolation and sympathy to
his beloved wife and little daughter, who are left
to mourn the loss of devoted husband and loving
father. His work is done. No more will he gather
with US at the council table, but will always
retain pleasant memories of the days of his con-
genial companonship, and his earnestness and
fidelity to our brotherhood. Therefore be it
Resolved, that in honor to his memory. it is
ordered that the Charter of Division IS, o. R. c.,
be draped in mourning for period of thirty days.
and that these resolutions be spread upon the
minutes of the lodge, and ordered published in
the Winslow Mail Be it further.
Resolved, that copies of the resolutions be sent
to the bereaved family, and one copy mailed to
the Grand Lodge, o. R. C.

Feeding German Prisoners.

Last week there pass ed
through Winslow three Pullman
cars filled with German prison
ers on their way to detention
camp in the south, and here they
were fed at the Harvey House.
Last fall four trains of American
soldier boys were transferred
from Fort Riley to Camp Kear-
ney, and they were started on
this journey with just the meas
ured travel ration of the army,
and word was sent in advance to
Winslow that our citizens make
preparations to feed them, which
was done to the very best of the
ability of our good ladies who
responded so generously. The
Winslow Mail has never been ac-
cused of being pro-German, or
anti-administration on war mat
ters, but it would seem only fair
if the government spent its
money feeding our soldier boys
at the Harvey Houses. and CIV
ing regular army rations to Ger
man prisoners en- route to intern
ment camps. German prisoners
should be given decent treatment,
but it should not be expected
they are to receive better fare or
travelling accommodations than
are regularly given to our SOL
diers. All we would expect of
Germany is that American prison
ers be treated as fairly as their
soldiers, but instead of that they
are tortured, mutilated, starved,
and compelled to do menial labors
for the government officials.

doubt as to the outcome when work
becomes slack. Every consideration
requires that a disabled man should
obtain permanent employment at a
desirable age in the position for
which he is best fitted or for which
he can become best fitted. Other
wise his career will consist of alter
nate periods of more or less undesir.
able employment, idleness, trying to
live on his pension and picking up an
occupation No self-respecting veter-
an of this great war can afford to
be placed In this position There is
only one escape by which these men
may make their future safe and that
is IL training is necessary to obtain
! it through the Federal Board for vo-
cational Education.
1.-THE temptation to take these low
grade, unskilled jobs is very strong
while war prices prevail, especially
as pay is higher because there is a
lack of help and the quality of the
work Is not looked at too closely,
but jobs commanding war prices and
employing large numbers Of particu-
larly skilled or unskilled hands are
not always going to exist They are
soon going to shrink to normal con-
ditions. What then? The answer Ia
unfortunately very simple. The law
of supply and demand Is not going
to stop working because there have
been some men who have been sol.
diers and who incurred disabilities In
defense of the country. II there is
only paying work for so many hands,
the supply of hands must be cut
down When this happens, the man
who cannot turn out as much or az
good work as a sound man Is going
/ to lose his job, because OF his deflc'
iency and the sound man is going TO
keep his job. That means the dis
abled man will be out OF a job and
will drift about from one temporary
employment to the other, meeting
rebuff after rebuff and becoming Of
less value as time goes on.
1.-THE antidote for such a condition
is offered free by the United States
government.

Washington, Nov. 15.-0ffices are
now open in fourteen of the chief cit
les of the United States to receive
the application of disabled soldiers
and sailors of the American army and
navy for free education to equip them

Board for Vacations and are in the
following cities: Washington, Phil

San Francisco and Seattle.
At each office are stationed men to
advise the disabled fighters as to
what they are entitled to receive, a
medical officer and man to obtain
employment for them when they are
ready to go to work. 1t is promised
BIZ the Federal Board that applica
tions will be alphabetically consid-
cred with the best interests OF the
disabled man in mind.
While receiving re-education the
government will pay the disabled
man s65 a month and in addition will
movide him with the funds necessary
to Day educational fees. Each man
accepted for reeducation will be sent
to an institution giving special cours
