WOMEN AND THE
 WINNING IF WAR

"The advent of women into the in dustrial world marks another phase of the changed conditions which the United States and the whole world is undergoing" said II. H. HotcEkiss of the Willys- Overland company.
 "At the big plant in ToleGo, women have been employed for the past six or scVen years in the trim shop and sim liar departments. But now with the additional war work to which the au- tomObile industry has given such great impetus, women are taking their places here as they have done so nobly in England. They may now be found ;n many parts of the factory. assembling small parts, operating drill and. punch presses, keeping stock records and serving in countless ways on the light CT work.
 ''To see these hundreds of women for the first time, attired in their neat drab colored bloomer- garments, seri- ously and competently handling their tasks in the industrial world, is a re- Velation.
 The workaday clothes worn by the women in the Willys- Overland plants were designed by the company They are business like, trim and modest in every way. The upper part is a blouse with the sleeves buttoning tightly around the wrists to serve as a pro- lection against oil. Similarly, tbe bloomers are gathered around. tbe ankles as a safeguard against being caught in moving machinery.
 These clothes are all laundered every week by the Willys- Overland company and are made of tough, ser- viceable material.
 "All of the women operatives seem happy and contented in this newer sphere of work. They all are contri- outing their share to the war rele2s- ing men for heavier work. The most satisfactory part of the proposition is the thoroughness and competence with which women are handling the work This IS not at all a matter of surprise to the officials of the company as wo- men are notably accurate, painstaking and reliable.
 Most all of the women who are do- ing this work have someone in the ser vice, aiding in the sterner task. And coming out of the big Willys- Overland Administration building, the observe, | sees the real reason behind the working women of America. Suspended in the hall just opposite the main entrance hangs the company's service flag ac- counting for 4901 men with the fight | ing forces"

reads, i've hiked with our packs about three miles to rest camp to await fur ther orders" MT. Sloan explains that it is called a rest camp because they never will forget it the rest of their lives.
 "The peasant people hang around our camp selling grapes, nuts, apples and all kinds of wares. There are wines of all kinds and descriptions, and cham pagne sells for two or three bucks a quart. Take it all in all, the United States is the best place after all, for what have seen of France so far has not made any favorable impression in regard to me making this country my permanent abode. But we have a little job to finish up over here, and then back to the good old U. $. A.
 There are so many things I would like to say, but as they would be elim- mated by the censor, will close with kindest regards and best wishes to you.

FROM TUCSON HERE
 ON FIVE GALLONS

Enroute to Prescott by automobile. where he will be placed in charge of reconstruction work at Fort Whipple, MT. E. T. Walter and wife arrived here from Tucson yesterday and are leav ing in the morning on the last leg of the journey. Inasmuch as they con- template remaining in Prescott for some time they are carrying consid erable baggage with them.
 In spite of the fact that they are heavily loaded Walter in calling at the Roper Motor company states that he has some exceptional news to offer the automobilists of this vicinity, namely, that he travelled from Tucson on five gallons of gasoline. This is indeed travelling under wartime economy, states MT. Roper. It is 129 miles from Tucson here by the shortest route, and this means an average of 25.S miles for each gallon of gasoline used It is a record that can only be made by a Maxwell, for the car was a Maxwell over two years old and veteran that had seen 15,000 miles of the hardest kind oS service here in the sands and desert of southern Arizona.
 In addition to the extreme economy feature of the Maxwell, both Mr. and Mrs. Walter have only praise for the reliable and durable service that the Maxwell car has given them at all | times

HUSKY SANDUSKY
 ALLROUNDW WORKER

The Husky Sandusky is surely adaptable" said H. E. Frederickson, manager of the tractor department of the Phoenix Motors company, "and it was never better proven than the work done with one of our little Model ma chimes operated by L. c. Taylor at Casa Grande.
 First, he dragged off all the stumps, then disced the ground three times, hitched on two fresnos and threw up his borders, thus turning out a field of 21 acres, all ready for Needing, in 93 hours work at cost of S1 per hour. To say that he is a satisfied customer is putting it mildly.
 ''Mr. Taylor has used the same ma chine to haul a drag made of a piece of 40-pound railroad iron 30 feet long for leveling brush, doing this work in light sandy soil by virtue of the big four-inch grousers on the Sandusky, in a soil where most tractors would have buried themselves"

local speed demons to show their class. A fifty-mile race for Arizona, New Mexico and West Texas cars and driv- CTS has been scheduled, for a purse of a thousand dollars. No restriction is placed on cars or drivers for this race except that both machine and pilot must be a product of Arizona, New Mexico or West Texas. Entry blanks for this event may be secured by appli- cation to the fair commission, Phoenix. Another race that will give local aspir- ants for speed honors a chance to show their class is the 25-mile stripped chas- sis free-for-all event for S750 purse. Cars for this race will be limited to cars in the s12OO manufacturers list, or under
 While it is fact that the A.A.A. has discontinued racing until after the war, the races that will take place during the Arizona fair have the verbal appro- val of three "A" officials, and the fair commission has been assured that no car or driver will be outlawed because of participation in the Arizona meet.

FAMOUS DRIVERS
 TO RACE AT STATE
 FAIR THIS YEAR

Before leaving yesterday for Los Angeles. Dick Hollingsworth, state manager for the Chevrolet Motor com 'pany. who is in charge of the automo- bile speed events at the coming state fair, made the positive announcement that be had secured the entries of four 1f the worlds greatest drivers for the feature event of automobile day.
 De Palma, Duray, Durant and Chev- rolct are the four big guns Hollings- worth had in mind. Never has such a group Of stars been gathered on a western track, and their entrance in the Phoenix races next month guaran- ices the shattering of all Arizona track records.
 In addition 10 the worlds best racing drivers Holliugsworth guarantees a fast. dustless track. such as he gave the drivers two years ago when he was in charge of tne automobile events. A large quantity of light gravity road oil has been contracted for, and will be sprinklod on the track before the events. thus entirely eliminating the dust evil that was so troublesome last year
 Arizona cars and drivers have not been overlooked by Hollingsworth and the fair commission in arranging the racing program. as two of the feature races will offer ample opportunity for

MISCELLANEOUS
 TIRE SIZES ID CO

The war industries board has ordered the manufacturers of tires, in the interest of conservation, to discon- tinue the making of many sizes of tires" said c. H. Friday, manager of the Akron Rubber company. at Adams and First streets.
 We have had so many inquiries re- lative to the sizes that will be made that we have prepared a list for the benefit of our patrons. as follows:
 30XS12 regular clincher
 31X4 regular clincher
 32X31A F straight side
 33X4 straight side
 S4x412 straight side
 35x5 straight side
 36X6 straight side
 3SX7 straight side
 40XS straight side
 Tn addition to the above the follow ing sizes will be made until November, 1920:
 30X3 regular clincher
 31x3R regular clincher
 35X5 quick detachable clincher
 32X4 straight side
 34X4 straight side
 32x4R straight side
 33x4A straight side
 35X412 straight side
 33X5 straight side,
 37x5 straight side
 "In addition to all the above the fol- lowing sizes will be made until Novem- Der, 1913:
 37x5 quick detachable clincher
 96x413 straight side
 All others have already discontinued or will be this year in November. 50 the time to begin the practice of conserving tires is right now, while we have the tires" he says. And in carry ing out this program the possibilities of repairing tires as an aid in tire con- servaton are looming up bigger than ever. Careful driving, frequent inspec- tion, maintenance of proper air pres sures, filling of tread cuts. are all inn portant in securing good mileage. But a certain number of tires are bound to be injured and othess will be mis- used.
 Tn the future, instead of casting those tires aside as useless, a built-in repair or a retread will have to put them back into service. Take, for ex- ample, a 30X3 F tire which has received stone bruise' after running about 2,500 miles. The tires usefulness is at an end and no redress or reimburse ment is in order in the absence of any inherent defect in the tire. Will a sec tional repair, costing say s4, pay? Most motorists know what average mileage their tires deliver, and by dividing the price of the tire by the average mileage received, can ascertain their tire cost per mile.'

RETREAD|NG TIRES
 |S TIRE ECONOMY

There is decided movement on the part of the government, according to Bob Saufley of the Saufley Rubber company, to conserve and cut down in the production of new tires. Added to this is the recent tax on tires which goes into effect soon. The consequence is that new tires will not only become scarce, but there is bound to be an increase in price. The only solution to the problem is to have a tire re- tread as soon as the rubber is worn down to the fabric. If the carcass is still firm the retreading that is done properly will last as long as new tire and the original tire will give twice the mileage atsabout 35 per cent of the cost.

T put those tires on that Dodge roadster on the 10th of May" said Mir Ward. Since that time have visited every town of any importance in the state. and have covered an actual mile age of II ,000 miles hard going, some of it mighty hard. For instance, I have driven over such roads as the one be- tween Springerville and Globe, where it was so rocky that it took eight hours to make 45 miles, They have not been spared in the least; I took things as they came, and have never had a mo- ment's trouble with them. As you can see, they are barely worn through the nonskid part of the tread. and they look good for another 5000 miles right now"

 ARRIVES IN FRANCE

Arrived safely in France, is the word received from E. G. Sloan of Phoenix, formerly sales manager for the Union Oil company, who enlisted in the tank corps. His trip across the Atlantic was 'uneventful" according to the cen sor, but MT. Sloan seems to write be- tween the lines that it might have been otherwise.

 IN 11,000 MILES

With as much pride as a new father exhibiting his first born, Ray w. Ward of the Saufley Rubber company is ex- hibiting around town a full set of Kelly Springfield tires that he has driven Il 900 miles over Arizona roads without puncture and they look good for a lot more punishment.
