Cadillac Performance
 Wins Praise Overseas
Soldiers Write Enthusiastically of Cars Behavior Under Extraordi-
 nary Conditions

l If the things they read in soldiers let ters home have any effect on the army 1 censors, these men as a class are in a fair way to become Cadillac enthusiasts
 by the time the war is over
 f Both directly and indirectly. the Cad-
 lilac Motor Car company hears mora and more frequently of the performances of it's cars which are in military use ill France.
 Staff sergt. A. c. Campion, Canadian 1 Forestry corps. writes from Jedburgh. Scotland:
 My car has stood up under all road conditions. wet and dry, mud and ruts, very often running 6s miles an hour It has done over 6O.0OO miles and was only once overhaUled. It is running as smooth and silent as ever, and looks good tor another 50,0O0 if old Fritz doesn't land on 1t With ore of his old Whizz Bangs" J. Thomrson, in charge of the phar,n- acy department on Hospital Train 5i, ! in letter to his brother-in-law C. A. Mitchell, Cadillac distributor in Bay City, Mich, describes an officers re- gard for his Cadillac as follows He claimed he had driven the car over 5000 miles somewhere overseas through ditches and swamps, over hills, and in fact had given it more hard usage than the ordinary car would get in 10 years service in the states. Outside of a few tire repairs and incdentals of no importance. he had not had the slightest trouble. He claimed the Cadillac cx- celled by far all the other cars over there from every standpoint.
 Tt surely made me happy to hear him praise the type of car which had given me so much happiness in the days before l came across the pond.
 We had 8 great ride, about 45 miles per hour, and our only regret was the time when We had to get out"
 From United States naval aviation headquarters in Paris, John A. Stout writes about "the wonderful performance of the Cadillac in the present struggle, which nas eliminated all but the fittest.''
 T have questioned men in the French, British, Canadian and American service who are entirely familiar with the per formance of the Cadillac" he continues, and their praise for the Cadillac has been universally the same-that it IS Americas most wonderful car. Quite a few Americar drivers have expressed to me their opinion that it is the only car that will stand the strain"

1873 HARMON
 MODEL ARRIVES W. w. Phelps Motor Go. Shows Most Wonderful
 Car of Industry

When Mfr Phelps, of the ". ". Phelps Motor company, was asked about the MGrmon 34, the new 1919 model car which just arrived yesterday, he stated, like all the rest of the owners and dealers throughout the country: T have the best motor car the world ever knew.
 "Build your own ideal of a car,'' says MT. Phelps, 'let it cost sl0ooo or s12, GOO, compare it then with the Marmon 34, and the Marmon will outclass it. It takes a real expert mechanic to tell you what the Marmon is. It was built and fin- ished by mechanical geniuses who knew only how to build the best car on the market. See this car at the sa1esrooms, 23l4 First avenue, then decide yourself what you think of the Marmon 34, Amer ica's best car
 Tt is no secret that the widespread and ever increasing use of aluminium for motors and other important motor car units can be traced directly to the Marmon 34, now exhibited at its third season of shows. When introduced at the 1916 show the aluminium motor was novelty so unique that it took all the daring of the Marmon engineers to depart from the convention so far as to produce a slx-cylinder block motor of aluminium

Chevrolets are going up again August l, and no doubt hundreds of prospective buyers will rush for the cars before the last day
 Sterling Edwards of the Edwards Motor company, has just received word from the factory that the price of tho Chevrolet model 490 will advance in price $5g and tc notify the public of this fact. The present price of model 490 is $790, and after August 1 it will advance to $S4o. The wise owners will want to save that $50 and there is no doubt that they will place their orders early.

FRANKLIN HANGS UP NEW RECORD FOR OPERATING EXPENSE

The hardest man in the world to treat with new thrill is the taxi driver most people say, but a trip of 5000 miles across country in Franklin car did the trick, ill one case at least.
 Only recently President Bixby of the Bixby Shoe Polish company, was III Albuquerque. N. M, in his Franklin car, and while on the lookout for some ona to do his driving back to New York, hit upon Louis Clifford. known as the most experienced man in his line in the city. So the star. was made, and as Clifford says, he began to learn things he hal heard about but seldom seen" Here ara a few of his comments:
 Talk about mud--19O miles of it in one stretch in Iowa. Chains on all four wheels. All others stuck, but the Frank lin went through fine. The others all said they were overheating. This Franklin runs all day long, never gets hot, aver ages 22 miles to the gallon, and uses four gallons of oil in 3217 miles. Some car. 1. Gas, oil. and storage on car have been s7165 since we left Albuquerque.

pany, who says: With the curtailed transportation facilities, the uncertainty Of railroad schedules, combined with a clear understanding of the health benefits of driving in the open, and with the desire to make their vacations aa eco nomical as possible, there is not a doubt but that the 1918 vacation season will b. one of the greatest automobile touring years in the history of the industry.
 T understand that inquiries and re- ports received by the travel bureaus of automobile clubs in practically every sec ton of the country indicate a record breaking crop of tourists for this summer and early autumn
 Particularly is this true in those sec- tions and states where camping sites have been located, as we'll as mountain and seashore resorts where tourists may either stop at hotels or rent small cot tages and tents"

The innovation was startling even to the engineers of the country.
 Aside from the motor several other major mechanical units are now as tAey were in the inception, of aluminium The gear case housing, q portion of the rear axle housing, to say nothing of the ra- diator she'll lenders, the bonnet, eowl and main body sections In other words, the design of that model, which is con- tinued with no radical changes this sea son, startled the motoring public, who had long felt that the conventions of standard engineering were so nearly per- feet as to admit of no radical develop ment and change

BULL DOG" MACKS
 LOVE PUNISHMENT

The brute power of the Mack truck has been tested again in the great hills of Alabama,
 One owner of Mack trucks, and who operates large lumber camp, states that the Mack pulls the heaviest logs through the tall hills where others have failed. Have you ever seen the "buil dog" Mack truck?
 If vol have, just look at it will give you an exact idea of what a real truck is. It's huge power and firm con- struction were made for one purpose, and ttiat is to pull the heaviest loads. The Southern Motor Truck company are the distributors.

That the entrance of the United States in the war will not affect the vacation tourists, and that the countrys national parks and scenic points will be as well patronized this year as they have been during each of the past two years is the opinion of Secretary of the Interior Lane.
 Secretary Lane also points out that it is even more important now than in times of peace that the health and vital ity of the nations citizenship be con- served and that rest and recreation must materially assist in this conservation O. human tissue and energy
 That America is being rediscovered with the automobile, and that American peo- pie realize that vacations are necessary to enable them to maintain their increased business and patriotic activities, is the opinion of Clifford A. Williams, director of sales of the Kissel Motor Car com

Gasoline Suggestions
 by Mark l.. Requa

"One more false alarm has received an official quietus in the statement issucd by the United States fuel commission on the subject of gasoline says the local dealer in Dort cars
 Mark L. Reuua, director of the oil di- vision, says that there has been plenty of gasoline for all requirements and will continue to be enough for normal pur- poses, providing it is not wasted
 MT. Requa makes a few timely sug- gestons worth repeating and remembe-- ing:
 Do not use gasoline for cleaning me- chanical parts.
 studously avoid spilling, leakage ani evaporation
 Do not let engine run when car is standing.
 Have carburetor adjusted to give largest possible mileage per gallon.
 Adjust brakebands so that they do not drag: keep all bearings we'll lubricatel and tires fully inflated.
 Keep spark plugs clean, have ignition correctly timed and drive with spark well advanced.
 Do not accelerate and stop quickly; avoid high speed; stop engine and coast long hills.
 Avoid aiEilesS and unnecessary use of cars: do number of errands in one trip; carry purchases home in the car to reduce deliveries by stores.
 Combine with neighbors and friends in use of cars.

opened again. But it was only Ger
man sentry. He threw down q note.
1t was written in English and read,
Pick out eight men for cooks" So
we picked out eight men from the va
rious vessels and they went on deck
and rigged up galley aft.
But we did not receive any knives,
forks, spoons or plates. The first
meal we got was nothing but macaro-
nj, piled up on pieces of cardboard
boxes. Then we appointed four men
to serve the macaroni, and they got
four pieces of wood, the cleanest we
could find, which was not very clean
at that, and they dug around in the
macaroni and divided it up and put
1t in our hands. We had to eat it
after that from our grimy fingers.
Those who were helped first had to go
farthest back on the coal to eat it,
and those who were helped last got
less, because the dividers got more
careful toward the end and gave
smaller portions.
But we did not get macaroni very
long. A cook from the Voltaire was
cleaning copper dixie that the mac
aroni had been cooked in, and he was
holding it over the side when the YES
sci rolled heavily, and dropped the
dixie into the briny. A sentry who
saw him drop it forced him up to
Badewitz, who began mauling him be-
fore the sentry even had told his
story. After a while Badewitz quit
pounding the cook, and listened to the
sentry. Then Badewitz said the cook
had put note in the dixie before he
dropped it, so they beat him up again
and put him in irons. After that they
sent the rest of the cooks back, and
would not let them on deck again.
They had plenty of canned goods and
meat aboard, but they would not give
us any.
Five of the men were buried at sea
that day. More men were going mad
every minute, and it was a terrible
place; pitch dark, grimy, loose coal
underfoot, coal-dusty air to breathe,
body-flth everywhere. Some of the
crazy men howled like dogs. But we
were not as much afraid of these as
we were Of the others who kept still,
but slipped around in the dark with
Jumps of coal in their hands. We
got SO we would not go near each
other for fear we were running into a
crazy man. Those of us who were
sane collected as near the fiddley as
we could, and we would not let the
others get near us, but showed them
back or SHE'D Jumps of coal at them.
And every once in a while some one
of us would begin to act queer. May
be he would let out howl suddenly,
without any warning. Or he would
just quit talking and begin to sneak
around. Or he would squat down and
begin to humble. We could not tell

The failure of the opponents of Fred T. Golfer to make
any headway in the democratic state committee or the
party council their effort to have Golfer withdraw from
the race for governor because of his negiby to fill that
office leaves the issue uncouded for the coming election
says the Tucson Citizen. Golfer is nothing more than
proxy for Governor Hunt and the issues this wear are now
the same as III 1916 despite the refusal of Hunt accept
The challenge OF Tom Campbell and give the people of the
state chance to recall the decision of the supreme court
which seated Hunt. The lines more clearly drawn
this year, however, Hunt has demonstrated his friend
ship for the W. W. IN many ways and Golfer has never
uttered single word against that traitoros organization
There is not the slightest doubt in the minds Of the
best legal talent III Arizona that Fred Golfer is really in
ege for the office of governor of the state IF the con
st1tutlon what it says he cannot hold that office
All the silly constructions placed upon the provision bv
such genluses the aduant general and other ambitious
politicians seeking to curry Golfers favor will not Get the
Apache senator by The cloud remains and the BARRIER
between the senator and the highest office in the state is
unsurmountable.
But why worry about Golfers nelgibiltv? When
Tom Campbell is elected governor of Arizona in Noyen-
be there VIII be no occasion to raise the question: But
granting for the sake of argument that Golfer can be
elected and the supreme court rules that the constitution
which Hunt wrote means what it says, and that he is ineli-
gIbe HUNT Will be governor for another two wears AS he
serves until his successor Is elected and QUALITIES IF Col
ter cannot qualify Arizona WILL III the event Golfer is
elected get two years of Hunt The state would he
none the worse however II going to have state
governed by proxy and Hunt still in control of affairs

Accordingly, the negibity Of Senator Golfer makes
little difference one way the other If Campbell is

sneaked up to where the rest Of
the fellows were and the guards
drilled us into No. hold. There was
nothing but ammunition in it. They
battened the matches down on us,
which made the hold waterproof. And
as that made it practically alright the
only air the $50 of us got was through
the ventilators. That hold was GER
tainly foul.
They next day some of the men had
got cigarettes somewhere. In a few
minutes they as we'll as the rest had
lit up and were putting away in great
style. I divided a cigarette with an
other fellow. Remember, we were sit
ting and standing on ammunition ali
this time. 1t shows how much we
cared whether school kept or not.
The Germans saw the smoke COM
ing out of the ventilators and they
were crazy with fright. A gang OF
them laid below and rousted us out
with whips.
They lined US up on deck and read
us the riot act.
They drilled us down into the coal
bunkerS. 1t was simply terrible there.
Coal dust to breathe and eat and sleep
on.
Also, by this time some of the men
had lost their heads completely; in
fact, had gone violently crazy, and the
rest of US were afraid of them. We
were all thinking of the fight that
might occur any moment between the
Yarrowdale and some other vessel and
we knew we were in the likeliest place
for the vessel to be struck. Even
though we we're not hit amidships, if
the ship were sinking we did not think
the Germans would give US a chance to
escape. We figured from what they
had said that we would go down with
