PASSENGER CARS GO
 WITH TRUCK TRAINS

The sight of long trains of olive drab motor trucks leaving Detroit for the Atlantic seaboard is rapidly be- coming familiar sight; for it is now a daily occurrence, Each truck train is accompanied by a smaller train of passenger cars.
 In the middle of last winter, truck makers in Detroit began the delivery of war trucks over the snow covered roads. Though the government itself is the purchaser of the trucks, it was impossible to secure enough freight cars to ship the daily scheduled pro- duction. In spite of all the road diff culties of the severest winter on rec ord the road delivery was successful and has been continued, until now two companies of soldiers drive away col trucks a day. Six Dodge Brothers cars go along with each truck train, also destined for service overseas.
 The plan of driving the huge war trucks overland is a success, not only from the standpoint of getting the ve- hicles to their destination regularly and promptly, but also from the standpoint of transportation of war materials of all sorts on each trip to the Atlantic ports. The railroads are relieved of the task of carrying much tonnage and munitions are reaching their seaboard shipping points in a steady stream.

Few Arizonians know that the two oldest missions in the country are sit uated within the confines of their own state" said c. II. Howard, manager local 5. r. Goodrich Rubber company.
 "The new state highway between Tucson and Nogales, which passes rear both of them, will undoubtedly arouse a new interest in the historical landmarks.
 Mine miles out of Tucson, one comes on San Xavier del Bac. the oldest of the two. About forty miles farther, (three miles south of Tubac) is the Mission of Tumacaroi.
 No definite information regarding the history of Tumarario Mission has eyer been found. As far as can be learned it was founded by Father Ktno and associates sometime between l7OO and 1732 Mention has been found of the fact that Fray Gil De Bernave was the priest in charge dur ing 175S. There IS also evidence of numerous Apache attacks on the Mis- sion from 1752 to ITO.
 Of Moorish Architecture
 Although not as pretentious as San Xavier Tumacaroi Mission is also a splendid example of Moorish archi- lecture.
 "The walls are of adobe, with brick faCings on all cornices. A little stucco still clings to the walls of the struct- ure, but the wohle building is rapidly deteriorating into a shapeless mass ot ruins.

MAR AND THE TIRE INDUSTRY |S TOPIC

Recently before body of leading tire dealers, Frank c. Millhoff, sales man. ager of the Miller Rubber company, Akron, Ohio, used for his theme War and the Tire Industry" Among other phases he discussed the direct effect that wartime conditions have had upon the quality of tires.
 The war, undeniably, is making bet ter men and women of all of us. We are making everything go the farthest and we are doing everything that we do the best we know how. The pro- duct of industries must then be lifted higher in quality-provided, of course, that quality is really being striven for. But the problem of tire manufacturers has been vitally more than good fabric and good rubber and ample knowledge of tire making methods. It has been a problem of men.
 Tires Vary In Mileage
 Several years ago we discovered that tires vary in mileage about as the men building them differ in their work. Eliminate these variations in vital operations and we should have uni formity in making and uniform mile age from the tires out on the road. We put ourselves to the task of training men to be uniform. We kept scientific records. Those who could finally pass the test remained. Those who could not were sent elsewhere. And so to- day, only picked squads build Miller tires. Their average personal ef- | ficiency is 96 per cent. Of all the tires they build less than 1 per cent ever calls for adjustment.
 And the war has made us conscious that the field has grown narrow from which to pick men and train them Only exceptional men will do. Even today only about one motorist in fifty can be supplied with Miller tires. But we propose to go on just the same ana | though we may not be able to increase our output in proportion to the demand l for Miller tires, we shall have the sat isfaction of knowing that every tire that We build is uniformly built and consequently will give uniform and l maximum mileage

TWO OLDEST MISSIONS IN COUNTRY

ish period will soon be nothing but a memory.
 "The building seems to have been a combined fortress and church, as three sides of it are surrounded by high walls, in which there are numerous loop holes.
 Large bullet holes in the walls are explained by stories of the executions of rebellious Indians. Tumacario, too, has it's familiar legend of buried treasure, but repeated excavations have failed to locate any signs of the s200;0OO in gold which was purported to have been hidden under the walls of the church.
 "A party of friends touring Arizona. recently visited the two missions on the Tucson Nogales road. They are as enthusiastic in their report of the new highway as in the performance of Goodrich tires on the wheels of their Overland. Only once did they find it nece ssary to stop on account of their tires, and that was when a ten penny nail became a little too friendly

LIBERTY HOLDS UNDER SEVERE
 DR|vEAWAY TEST

The factory rive-aways, now so common, have produced some spectacu- lar demonstrations of motor car ef- ficiency. Reports from Liberty deal- CTS, who have driven away great num- bers of cars within the past few weeks, are filled with interesting incidents of Liberty performance and descriptions of the unusual feats of Liberty cars under all sorts of road conditions.
 One dealer who, with a number of guests, drove eight cars to Newark, N J., a distance of nearly eight hundred miles, had this to say of his experience on a particular road en route: You can appreciate how disheartened we felt when we saw sixteen cars of a well-known make stuck with mud and water almost to the tops of their wheels. After carefully inspecting the road and sizing up the situation, we were of one opinion, and that was that the Liberty cars would drive around the cars that were submerged. As I was driving the pilot car, l made the attempt and experienced the pleasure of witnessing one, of the finest demon- strations of a motor car that 1 have ever seen. Without apparently any strain on the motor whatever. or doing any damage to our cars, we succeeded III passing the entire sixteen"
 Roads Nearly Impossible
 An owner who accompanied the Brooklyn, N. Y, dealer to the factory and drove his own car home wrote that The road conditions were nearly im- passable. Approximately three hum dred miles were of snow with deep ruts where at times my radiator was throwing snow like a blow. The mud Neemed unconouerable. Ice caused us worry. Buth nevertheless we raced Nnd crawled with just one speed-high. My car was one of six and all six be- haved alike.
 Although Liberty cars have been hundred miles distant from the factory, and drive aways have been conducted for months almost without interrup- tion, not one Liberty car has been re- | ported stuck on the road nor has 1 there yet beeen any mention of me- chanical difficulty of any kind.

Kimble Brothers who have mining interests at Dos Cabezos, have recently purchased a West ern engine for their property. This engine is reported to be a 16-horsepower machine of the standard type manufactured by the Western Machinery company of Los Angeles, and operates on a very low grade of oil.
 There are number of Western engines in operation in the mines throughout the atate and this equipment is building quite a name locally. The Western com pany manufactures five types of engines ranging in size from F horsepower to 320 horsepower.

O. L.

AMERICAN ARMY RIFLE
SUPERIOR TO THAT USED

American troops are armed with a
faster firing and more accurate rifle
than used by the Germans, according

cent of the firing speed Of the modi-
fled Enfield adopted for the United

The superiority claimed for the
American weapon is supported or

AMERICAN OBSERVER WITH
FRENCH PILOT DROPS BOMBS
ON MANNHEIM.

New York.-The World prints a spe'
cial from the American front in France
stating that for several days American
observers flying with the French pend
ing the arrival of American pilots on
the American front have had some
thrilling experiences. One of the OBJ
servers participated IN the recent
French raid on Mannheim on the
Rhine which was the first time an
American has helped bomb o German
city
Another flew among the German
trenches opposite our lines at a height
Of a few hundred feet seeking chance
to spatter bullets on German infantry
men He was hindered by misty
weather, and the Germans kept out OF
reach in their funkholes, so he got no
.hance to shoot before enemy arches y
forced his French pilot TO climb out OF
the way Of the shrapnel.
One reckless youth tackled Ger
man sausage balloon and actually oblig-
ed it to return to its nest on the ground,
although this is job generally rese-y-
ed for the best scout machines. When
an American observer is aloft he is in
command OF the airplane and can d.
rect the pilot TO go where he wishes.
Participating for the first time In a
night bombing raid, young second
lieutenant OF coast artillery temporar'
fly assigned to French air squadron
as an observer, shot down an enemy
plane far behind the German lines.
The destruction OF the German craft,
which was one OF the battle fleet sent
over to prevent French bombers from
getting back home, was attested by
several pilots who witnessed the fight.
The lieutenant thus achieved the dis
tinctlon OF being the first American
observer TO bring down an aerial ad'
versary. II was not only his initial
trip into German territory at night,
but the first time he had used ma
chine gun from an airship winging
its way back to It's own lines from a
successful bombardment OF certain Ger
