an enemy raid on this sector resulted in
two Americans being captured. Another

DUCK HUNTING IN PAIGE SEDAN
 ENJOYED
NSCONTINENTAL TRIP IS MADE IN SEDAN BY EMMl-
 NEWT PHYSICIAN

Duck hunting in a sedan in the swamps around Galveston, a ride into turbulent Mexico, and a planned for skIrmish with Villa bandits which did not materialize. are but a few of the unusual experiences of Dr. R. H. Pyles of Waterloo. Iowa, who drove into Phoenix during the past week in his big Paige 51 closed car.
 The sedan has been driven all the way from Waterloo, and in all Dr. Pyles and his two travelling companions, have covered 1000 miles. More than three months has been taken in the Jnnket. Almost an entire month was spent in and about Galveston, where the physi- .ian and his associates enjoyed the unique diversion of hunting feathered Iuarry in an automobile without cold nor discomfort.
 -Dr. Pyles is an eminent surgeon of the east. He was formerly associated with Mayo brothers, noted Rochester surgeons. Because of overwork and close confinement he decided he must take several months outing which oc- casioned his purchase of the Paige sedan. During his visit here pr. Pyles called on Brown-Dryer company. local agents for the Paige and Chevrolet He declared he had no mechanical trouble during the entire trip, and paid no attention whatsoever to his motor except to have it greased, fabricated and supplied with gasoline.
 The itinerary of the party included Des Moines, Iowa, the state of Ne braska and of Missouri, as far as lief ferson City, Oklahoma City, Houston

TWO BIG AUTO FIRMS COMBINE
 CENTRALIZE USED CAR MARKETS


 With view to centralizing the used car markets of Phoenix, the Babbitt- Poison company and the Overland Arizona company have combined their efforts and have on display at the Central school lot more than one hundred automo- piles for sale-the joint total of their respective institutions.
 In the aggregation are cars of numerous makes and designs. sat prices varying similarly. Many have been repainted and placed in perfect mechanical condition. while others have been placed on the market as they came from the owner, after having been over hauled mechanically.
 Back of the<use cars on sale are the reputations of two well known and reliable concerns.
 Tt is my opinion that the cen tralization of the used car sale grounds of the city is a definite step towards conservation of lost motion," says w. S. Roades, head of the used car department for the Overland Arizona company. Every place that is maintained separately means rent for more space than is actually needed, pay ing of wage to salesmen and clerks to conduct the business. and

AriZOnQ Roads Make Tire Cost
 Unusually High

Rounding along rough Arizona roads is hard on tires under any conditions" says w. R. Johnson, local manager of the Fisk Rubber company branch, but it can be done without undue tire expense if the driver uses care and gives his shoes the attention they are en- titled to.
 Bruises and eashes are fre- quentIy unavoidable, yet they can be remedied by the simple act of plugging them up with pure gum rubber.
 First wash the cut thoroughly with gasoline to remove all grit and dirt, then after filling with plastic gum rubber, allow it to harden for an hour or so. Little cuts grow into big ones in a re- markedly short time, yet they need cause no concern if properly treat ed in time.

Rudolph Uses
 Unique SyStem
 to Loosen 'en1

One dozen bran new Fords, re- spIendant in bright black varnish, though fenderIess and topless, were marshaled in shining array along the side of Ed Rudolph's place Fri day. The whirr of mary engines, and clouds of steam arising from capIess radiators, attracted the at tention of number of passersby, who stopped to ask "why?"
 Mechanics in charge explained that the engines were being loos- ened up" for the benefit of the fut- ure owner, to preclude any possi- biIity of cylinder scoring, to elim- mate cranking difficulty, and to render unlikely, overheating of the engine during the first few hundred miles of running. A mixture of cylinder oil and gasoline is poured into the gasoline tank, the rear end of the car lacked up and the motor started. The car is then permitted to run at a moderate speed until all the mixture is consumed. The presence of the deluge of oil in the cylinders maintains perfect lubri- cation of working parts and the purchaser finds his car well "brok- en in" when he gets it.
 Mir. Rudolph believes that this is the kind of "service" customers want.

Dependent directly upon the war and the subsequent conservation program of the government is the notable impetus recently given the used business in local auto mobile circles, according to dealers who in position to know.

 E, J. McMullen, manager of the used car department of Babbitt- Poison company, points out also, the increased number of cars from which the purchaser may make his selection.
 If a man wants to buy used car and is able to do so, he will be mighty hard to please if he cannot make a customer of him before he leaves" says MT. McMullen. With this collection he should be able to find something that should suit his taste and pocketbook. Nearly every popular priced car on the market is represented in the as semblage of motor vehicles which we have gathered together at this point. The site is centrally located and easily reached from all parts of town.
 When a man wants to buy a car now he does net have to go through all the distributing agencies, and salesrooms, and attics of the town before he has made the investiga- ton he feels he should make before investing. He can make his inves- tigation at one place. and when he has finished he knows that he has not overlooked anything"

VACUUM TANK NEEDS DRAINING

At the bottom of the vacuum tanks, which are now used on so many cars to secure proper fuel feed, there is To- cated a drain cock. Many owners seem to think this is some sort of an or nament, but it should be opened at in tervals, one d week or so. Generally q little water and possibly some rust will flow out before gasoline begins to come In many cases it will be neces- sary to insert a bit of wire to clean out the drain cock of an accumulation of foreign matter. If this latter is per mitted to remain long enough, it will work it's way back into the carburetor and make trouble.

 M ARTHUR
LOCAL DEALER GIVES SALIENT FACTS IN EVOLUTION OF
 BUSINESS

Probably the part of an automo- bile dealers business that demands the most thought, is the used car department, and dealers throughout the country are considering the sell ing of used cars from every angle, realizing its importance to the in dustry.
 The evolutiols of the used car busi- ness is told by Warren McArthur of McArthur Brothers, one of the selling specialists whose wide ex- perience classes him as an authority on the subject.
 Comparing the used car business of today with that of 10 years ago is like putting one of our touring sedans up against an open job of the long ago. with a step on the back for the entrance to the tonneau.r said MT. McArthur. Tt is an en- tirely different breed. What was considered no business at all has grown to be an important part of the dealings of all of the largest dis tributors and even the smaller re- tailers.
