lLanniS Speaks IOf AutOmObiIeS|
 and Conditions

In speaking recently of the curtail- ment of passenger traffic and ex- pressing a belief that the day of the automobile as the principal means of transportation is at hand, MT. Lannis of the Mitchell car said.
 Just as the motor truck relieved the freight problem in the short hauls and some long ones also, so can the auto mobile relieve the passenger traffic at this time.
 The automobile is a necessity in these days, where transportation means the saving of time and money; and the public having once been educated to flying along the highways and nov ing goods at from fifteen to thirty miles an hour, will not go back to walking and slow moving and eXpen- sive horse hauling.
 Season and weather are not to be considered as in past years when they business. And yet it is not so long ago that with the first frost the mo- tor car was locked up in the garage But not today;i the motor car has shown us the short cuts and the time to be saved so it is used the year around.
 The recent snow storms the past few days, have not curtailed traffic as it would have a few years ago, and the answer again is the automobile The mail man has been able to follow his regular schedule in the rural dis tricts. The delivery system in the city has come through in fine shape with their motor cars.
 Perhaps it is true that certain con- ditions of the county have thrown the motor car in the lime light but one | can readily see what a handicap we would be in were it not for the higf | degree of efficiency obtainable iron one.
 The modern business man today must be alert, confident and prosper ous to carry on his work. The auto mobile can be his incentive to greatel effort. He must have been an ally tt meet unusual needs for if he lets busi ness run haphazard he is apt to b, passed by the man who finds nor, time to do bigger things through tn, use of his motor car
 For this and many other economi 1 reasons, war or no war, the public i going to buy cars, and the makers vii
 have to build them to meet the pub lies needs. But whether there vii
 be enough of them built between nov and next summer to meet the denlan,
 is a very grave question. It is penn, wise and pound foolish for the mal who can buy and own a car not t, buy one at this time. Wise econom-
 consists in making day longer, nor efficient and constructive. This can b
 accomplished by owners of automo
 piles.

striking distance and send home the deadly torpedo, these fellows smoked and laughingly speculated on the new life that was before them lover there'
 One Sammy, a former business man of Washington, D. C., and a motoring enthusiast, expressed his regret at not being able to bring along his car. This chance remark turned the conversa- ton into a general discussion of mo- tor ears, and, after each had related some personal experience, or men toned the likable features of his favor- ite roadster or touring car, the Wash- ington man asked his bunkies if they expected to find a familiar American nameplate on the cars in France. With- out a dissenting voice, it was agreed that probably the very first automobile to greet them lover there would be the well-known Ford. And, as we who live on this side of the Atlantic have reason to know, that was a pretty safe guess. That the boys were disap- pointed, however. is evident after read- ing this letter from the Washington soldier to Col. W. C. Long. distributor of Studebaker cars in the capital city: Dear Col Cliff:-I am over here
  few miles away from home, I want to tell you that your little favor still re- minds me that I have, at least one old friend back in America.
 Coming over on the ship all of we fellows were guessing that the first car we would see would be a Ford and when we got here the first one we saw was a Studebaker 6-1916. So you see, old boy, they even have them over here-outside of those you, John and Joe didn't sell in Washington
 T am constantly on the go, and there | are very few of fminutes-when I do get time I'll try to write a real letter. I wanted to tell about the first car we saw, and I had only these five minutes in which to do it.
 Hope you are real well putting them over Give my regards to the gang With best regards and good luck, am, sincerely yours,
 "CHAS. BROWN, "On active duty, with the American
 Expeditionary Force, Somewhere in l France"
 In the early stages of the war motor cars of all makes were tested by the British war department. A few Stude- baker cars were used at first, and then | Studebaker stamina and dependabil- | ity under all conditions of service be- came so marked that the staff officers made especial request for this make of car for their personal use.

REASONS FUR JOSS
 IF POWER GIVEN;
 REDUCTION METHOD

The average motor car owner will be startled to be informed that out of all the power that is generated by the eX- plosion in the combustion chamber, less than one eighth is delivered in actual driving force at the rear wheels. Aston ishing as it seems this is actually true. If then. seven-eights of the ori- ginal power is lost on the way to the driving wheels, how vitally important is it for the car owner to see that no further and unnecessary losses occur during the journey.
 Taking the power generated in the combustion chamber as 100 per cent, we find that the first loss amounts to thirty-five per cent, which is dissi- pated in the cooling water. Another thirty five per cent is lost through di- rect radiation and in the exhaust gases. The exhaust pipe and muffler accounts for a further two per cent per cent. Wind resistance uses up seven per cent of what is left and there is a loss through the tires of nearly four per cent. The transmits sion accounts for a further subtrac- tion of practically three per cent.
 As long as these power losses are kept at their normal proportion, there is no cause for worry, but let the car owner gets careless in maintaining the vehicle and the losses immediately mount upward in a geometrical ratio Fortunately, by taking heed, it is not (Continued on Page TWo)

In Reply to Rumors of Gaso-' line Shortage, Hotchkiss
 of the Overland Tells of a New Crude Oil Derivative

There is no truth in the rumor that a gasoline shortage is probable" says II. II. Hotchkiss of the Overland-A zona Co. Furthermore says Hotch- kiss. there is no probability that the government will in any way limit the amount of gasoline used by individuals or corporations.
 What the government needs most is. coal, and transportation by automobile is releasing millions of tons of coal for government purposes that would oth erwise be drawn upon by private inter- csts The four million motor cars in the United States handled last year twelve million passengers and, in so doing, traveled a total distance of six teen million miles All the coal that but for the automobile would have been used in transporting the same number of people by city trolley cars, interurban and steam roads has been saved for America and her allies. Of course. some of this work might have been done by horses, but horses are already consuming too large propor- ton of our grain supply"
 A. C. Bedford, chairman of the pc troleum committee of the Council of National Defense, says, There is in storage now in the United States plen- ty of gasoline for immediate war pur- poses, for domestic commercial pur- poses and for a very liberal use of pas senger motor cars" MT. Bedford states further that the oil refiners and the nation could give thanks that at this particular juncture there is an automo- bile industry and an automobile use that maintains a consistent demand for gasoline. There is no reason" said Mir. Bedford, why everybody should not continue to use motor cars in their business, in movement from farm to village and even in pleasure trips, but, of course, there is no reason why any one should waste fuel of any kind, whatsoever. People should be taught Q conserve all our resources and this applies to gasoline in particular, be- cause the wastage of gasoline has been 70 great in the past. It is estimated hat as much gasoline is wasted
 through leakage and through allowing motors to run idly when the cars are

 0F TRUCK IN YUMA

If by any chance you want busi- ness of your own in which the | pleasure of banking your daily cash profits plus the thrill of running up and down the scale of an ever-bulg- | ing bank balance are made to order for you, read what follows here then have look about and see if the germ of success hasn't picked you out for a resting place.
 J. B. Marrs of Yuma, shows the way. He has just apprised R. D. Roper of the Roper Motor company, Arizona Maxwell distributor, of racts which made the Phoenix man grab l for something solid to hold to while 1 he withstood the electric-like shocks l from the information in Marr's let | ter telling how much money he makes with one Maxwell truck.
 T have hauled more than 40 tons | of hay, grain and cotton into Yuma | in one day and have made as high as s4S profits on a single day." the Yuma truck business man and Max well enthusiast advised. T can make s25 or more in profits every day I care to work with my truck and trailer.
 q bought the first Maxwell trucK in this valley. Now there are sey- eral more, two of them in the hauling business with me. One of them brought in today a load of S,755 pounds on the truck and trailer. l was loaded light-only 6,295 pounds.
 T am sending you a picture of my truck and trailer showing them transporting 100 bales of hay, weigh ing $500 pounds. Of this the truck l ic
 Tt may surprise you to learn that this is but an average load and tha. I have carried as high as 5.4O0 pounds on the truck alone I admit that I am overlooking. as you see it. But I have had my Maxwell four months and I always have carried loads of from three to four tons. I make as many as six round trips a day, covering from 70 to 90 miles daily. I have not only paid for the truck, but have banked lot of money in profits besides. The truck now is in perfect mechanical condi- tion and has never cost me a cent for repairs. So you will admit that perhaps I know best how to use the full capacity the Maxwell is capa- ble of.
 Although there are larger trucks here doing like work my knowledge of this business is that the lighter truck is the best. I haul as much as the big cars and at half the cost They often are out of service while I never am. If I should have oc- casion for parts or repairs, your dealer here is well equipped to take care of me. This is an importan, factor which I have observed from seeing other trucks out of business for several days waiting for parts
 With a load of four tons on my Maxwell and trailer I average nine to ten miles to the gallon of fuel and 100 miles to the quart of cylinder oil I travel 15 miles an hour with d load like this. If this Maxwell

Tt is certainly gratifying to the far seeing citizens of Arizona that the state has awakened to the economic value of good roads, said c. H. How ard. manager local B. F. Goodrich Rubber company depot.
 Although the recent appropriation made by the state board of control is not large. it is nevertheless a start, which undoubtedly will be followed by many more.
 "A network of good highways throughout the state will mean not only internal development of our neu- tral resources, but will go far in mak ing Arizona the Mecca for thousands of tourists every year.
 Our state has historical and scenic attractions second to none, which,

 On top of Mir. Bedford's authoritative statement that there is no probability of a shortage in gasoline comes the an- nouncement that new process of eX- tracting gasoline from crude oil, which will give three times the gasoline that is now obtained, has been developed and perfected by an American inventor. This process has received the endorse ment of the heads of large automobile corporations and other well known capitalists. The new process has been worked successfully on a commercial scale for several months past. This will make impossible any shortage of gasoline no matter how great the de- mands of the war may be, according to those who are familiar with the results already obtained.
