 A leading New York paper said that the most tangible results. in the parade, were obtained by the two Lee children, famous in the moving picture world, who rode in a beau tifully decorated Willys- Knight cal The children received a cont ovation from the time the parade started until it was concluded. The older of the two was dressed a s Miss Liberty while the younger wore the uniform of a little American soldier.
 An incident that was widely com mented on by the newspapers oc- cured in front of the reviewing stand, in which were gathered the leading officials together with high govern ment, army and navy officers. When the little folks were directly in front of the stand, the parade was sudden ly stopped in order t6 allow traffic to pass a point some blocks ahead Seeing the gold laced officials in the box the smallest of the two children stood up in the tonneau of the car and saluted, at the same time inn ploring them to buy a bond which she held in her hand. Her request was greeted by storms of applause and the bond was snatched up in a moment.

TRIBUTE GIVEN ID AMERICAN AUTO
 IN THE WAR
By ISSAC F. MARCOSSON Six Times a Visitor to the Great War

You men who sell Maxwell and Chalmers cars, wherever that may be in this country. do not realize that the selling talk that you are getting over every day has behind it the great medium and the great agency that has made this war possible Gen tlemen, history may say that this is war of contrasts; it may be a war of artillery, it may be d war of a great many other things,-a war of advertising. such Jas it is; but the big, supreme fact about it-and I speak out of contact with every one of the six great Allied armies of Europe, from the Caucasus down to the hail and snow swept Carso of Italy-the one thing that hase made this war possible is the automobile. And let me tell you that while we have sent a lot of junk, a great deal of bad stuff to Europe. shoes with paper soles, flimsy shirts and flimsier soX, the one American article that has been 100 per cent from the first day of the war until the last day that saw it in action, has been the Ameri- can automobile.
 1 regard it as a very great privilege to be associated with an industry
  power. this great. far flung, closely organized business of mechanical transport. But the average man who has not seen this war, perhaps does not realize that war today is the most colossal business in the world, it is the most stupendous piece of actual merchandising thS. any civiliza- ton has ever known. Instead of transmitting and changing raw ma terial into finished product, Haig and Petain and Gadorna simply take the raw unfinished human material, con- vert them into trained fighting men, and they then sell the product on the terrible fields of war. That is what war is.
 The greatest problem that Mr Flanders today has to confront or meet, that adds from 40 to 60 per cent to the selling cost of every auto mobile. is the thing that we all know in business as distribution. Well, dis tribution in battle is nothing more than the deployment of these millions of men. Haig is the master sales man of the war Petain is the master salesman of war. Hindenburg is a great salesman. Don't get the idea and that is one of the things that want to speak to you about before We 80 into the subject of the automobile in war.
 In this war have seen fifteen inch guns rumbling down the roads ol France, hauled by automobile tractors Without those tractors those gunN could never be there, and withou those guns the war would have beer reduced to a very small area, and il

TIRE TROUBLE GREAT INCONVENIENCE
 FUR WOMEN

The southwest holds the record for number of women drivers of motor cars and the ever increasing number throughout the country has led the manufacturers of motor cars to add Tefinements that will assist milady in the management of her car
 There is no other one feature that so inconveniences the fair motorist as tire trouble. The necessity of getting out and changing tires is a dusty job at best, and the fastidious fair one hesitates before soiling her new gloves and frOck.
 This feature" says Mir. H. M. Hal diman, general manager of the Pacific Pipe and Supply Co.,, distributors for Palmer tubes, lis one reason why the Palmer tube is becoming so popular with the ladies. Once installed there is but little possibility of the annoy ance of tire trouble. BloWouts are practically eliminated and punctures are almost unknown.
 Miss Dott Claire, one of the popu- lar entertainers in the city, devotes her spare moments to motoring, and in order to eliminate as much possibility of tire trouble as possible she has equipped her car with Palmer tubes. These she has had inserted in the castings when the old tubes have been punctured or worn out through chaf- ing and pinching. She is but one of the many fair drivers of her sex who are following this method"
 The Palmer tube is cut on a circu- lar pattern and is made to fit the cavity of the casing with utmost pre- cision. There is no opportunity for chafing or pinching.
 Some motorists have been unrea- sonable, for they expected Palmer tubes when inserted in an old, worn out, broken down castings to resurrect the casing, making a new tire out of it. This the tube will not do. because the broken strands of fabric in the side walls of the casing are bound to wear the tube, but even in cases of this kind which we have investigated we have found that the Palmer tube ran for hundreds of miles after other tubes in the same use had worn through and blown out
 We are conducting one of the most severe tests to which a tube has ever l been subjected. On our territory salesman's car we have cut four 2-inch holes in the side walls of each casing and have inserted Palmer tubes. This car has covered close to 2500 miles over some of the toughest roads in California, and so convincing is the proof Of this test that in every town where the car has stopped we have had no difficulty in convincing the dealer that here was a tube that his customers would thank him for offer ing them. We have established all most SO0 sub-agencies and this was done wholly on the merits of the tube. l combined with the help of newspaper advertising.
 We are exhibiting at the San Fran l CISCO show and will also maintain an exhibit at the orange show"

It is all right to put your money in Liberty bonds. because unless we put it in Liberty bonds today it is going to be bondage for this country and for civilization later. But a man may wear a thin overcoat now and regard it as a badge of honor, but he may catch cold in that overcoat, impair his health, cut down his income, and that is when thrift becomes a vice instead of a virtue. Gentlemen, we have reached a time in this war when thrift must not be vice; it has got to be a virtue. And the dollar in this country has got to be put out to work in some way, whether in Liberty bonds or whether in automobile fac tories, and you are going to sell them when the war is over.

with timely and popular song mum bers.
 If singing would have opened the road to Berlin, Miss Dean and MT. Cochran would have reached Kaiser Bills front door unhampered.
 All during the morning and after noon hours, the Mack truck was run from one stamp station to another and various local talent artists under the direction of Billy Ferguson never failed to crowd the streets to the extent of standing room only" which made easy the work of the busy vendors.
 Not content with doing their bit in the morning on the impromptu stage
Arizona republican., 1918-02-17

Probably no other unit of the Thrift Stamp campaign attracted more at tention nor gathered large crowds for the purpose of aiding in the sell ing of the popular little stamps than did the monstrous Mack truck of the Bulldog" type from the Fergu- son-K Keeler company, the body of which was fitted up as an impromptu stage.
 During the morning parade Miss Dean and Billy Cochran of the Ed. Redmond company climbed high on the cab of the truck, and with the aid of the bevy of chorus girls, proceeded to inject an overflowing of pep and enthusiasm into the spirit of the day

Jersey Sherifs
Plan ''Loafer" War

NEWARK, n. j., March ia meet
ing of the police chiefs of Essex Coun-
ty will be held Monday morning in the
City Hall for the purpose of adopting a
plan for the enforcement of the new
anti-loafers law. Sheriff John K. Fla
veil has called the meeting in order TO
discuss with the police authorities and
the Labor Department representatives
ways and means of making the laws
enforcement uniform and also to pre-
vent work shirkcrs evading it by mere
" moving from one place to another.
The present plan is to enforce the
law much the same as the CONSUMPTION
law has been enforced. Registration
blanks have been furnished to the au-
thorlties of each township and a COM
plete index containing the name of
every man in the state between the
ages Of eighteen and fifty will be kept
on file.
The law, it must be understood, does
not apply to students, men temporarily
out of work because of differences with
their employers or to those .ncapaci-
tated. 1t does apply, however, to the
idle rich and the typical corner lounger.
The men put to work under the law
Will be placed at various occupations by
the State Labor Department. All will
be paid at the rate prevailing in the
particular laboring class to which they
are assigned. The minimum hours a
week will be thirty-six and the maxi
mum no more than are in force in the
branch OF Industry where they are
placed
