GOOD ROADS BOOSTERS
 COME UP FROM JEROME

Robert Talley, superintendent of the United Verde; Tom Taylor, super intendent of the smelters at Clark dale; and MT. Vanderbaugh, superin- tendent of underground workings, were in Flagstaff last Friday, having come through over the Schnebly hill from Jerome by auto.
 The party was very much interested in the road problem from Flagstaff to Jerome and interviewed T. A. Rior- dan and other members of the newly created county highway commission and supervisors. The road to Jerome and the Verde is one of the missing links in the road to Phoenix. When the new road from Jerome to Pres colt is completed the new route would be much shorter if there was good road to Jerome. It is hoped that when the big bond issue is finally made, that part of the money will be expended on the south roads in order that we may be well connected up with our southern neighbors and give them direct outlet to the main line.

NEW LICENSE LAW
 FOR AUTOMOBILES

! Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 19, '19. Editor, Coconino Sun,
 Flagstaff, Ariz.
 | am enclosing herewith a copy of the Motor Vehicle Law of the State of Arizona. This pamphlet contains the amendments to the law that was passed at the recent session of the legislature and went into effect on June 12, 1919. There were three amendments of interest to every auto- mobile owner, as follows: Chapter 62 (Sub-Senate Bill 134). This amendment provides that before the secretary of state can issue a license and deliver number plates to any person, firm, or corporation in the state of Arizona, they must have a certificate from their county asses sor, stating that the personal prop erty tax on their motor vehicle has been paid for the current year, or is secured by real estate in their county.
 Chapter 156 (Senate Bill IT'D. This amendment provides that per sons driving automobiles or auto
  use the full arm signal to indicate whether they are turning to the right or left. On enclosed motor cars, an automatic signal must be used when | it is not possible to use the arm. Chapter 172 (House Bill No. 148). This amendment divides the license year into quarterly periods, so that a person applying for license between January 1 and March 31 must pay the full annual license, and those ap- plying for a license later in the year, must pay for the unexpired quarters of the year."
 These three amendments were pass ed for the better operation and en- forcement of the motor vehicle law of the state. The one requiring the per sonal property tax to be paid before a license can be issued by the secre tary of state, is an innovation and is not generally understood by the per sons applying for licenses; as conse- quence much delay is caused in issu- ing licenses on account of the length of time it takes to get the certificate from the assessor.
 | Each assessor has the certificates in his office, and much time would be saved if persons who want motor ve. hicle licenses would provide them selves with such certificates before applying to the secretary of state foi a motor vehicle license.
 l Sincerely yours,
 MT SIMMS, Secretary of State

Some are in the form of wicks prop erly supported and few from an oil well. There are spring covers also which enable lubricant already spread between the leaves to be retained, and above all prevent water from get ting in.
 Shackles are common source of trouble. Spring shackles are neces- sary in order that there be room for fiattening of the spring when the frame goes down. The shackle amounts to free joint between the spring and the frame. The shackles are supported by bolts and if these latter are not we'll oiled or greased freedom of movement is restricted. While grease is not the best lubricant for shackle bolts it is better than none at all. Grease is bad because it har- dens and does not work it's way to the rubbing surfaces. Where possible, oil cups should be substituted for grease cups.
 Shackles often are noisy due to side play. This may be caused in some designs by looseness of the bolts and in others by wear. Where shims are supplied it is easy to take up the play.
 In cars fitted with cantilever springs with the free end forward and the permanent end on an oscillating mem- Der around the axle tube the latter member should receive it's share of lubricant. Considering the strenuous nature of their service, the springs do not ordinarily receive the care and at tention they deserve. A very brief periodic going over, and above all sys- tematic fabrication, will keep the springs functioning properly, adding greatly to the comfort of the car own CT and his passengers.

U. s. MOVEMENT FOR HIGHWAY LINES
 MAKING BIG GAINS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 20.-- The movement to construct a national system of trunk line highways inter secting each state, the cost of con- struction and maintenance to be borne by the federal government, is gaining throughout the country, according to reports coming into the federal high way council.
 Many letters are coming in from practically all sections indorsing the movement and calling for explicit in. formation as to the main points in the national highway measure, now pending in the senate. It is expected to come up for further consideration at an early day.
 The national highway bill, intro duced by Senator Townsend, chair man of the senate committee on post offices and post roads, is an entirely new piece of legislation. Its object is to build in each state, trunk line high ways to the extent of not less than 2 per cent nor more than 5 per cent of the total mileage of the state, and to join them with the main trunk lines of other states, thus creating na- tional system connecting the entire country.
 The decided trend in public opinion in favor of federal construction of a national highway system is due, &C., cording to those having the measure in charge, to the fact that such mile age as each state will receive will put the state that much nearer to com plete and we'll connected state system, at the same time insuring logical con- nections with adjoining states. It is admitted that such connections are necessary to a properly co-ordinated system and that such coordination is logically federal function.
 The net result to each state, 1t now begins to appear, will be a strength ening of forces behind road develop ment. The states on the one hand are to be aided by relieving them perma- nently of the construction and main tenance of the heaviest travelled inter- state routes, thus permitting the con centration of state effort on routes having their terminal points within the state. In other words, more effec- tive cooperation of federal and state power is to be gained by each having its specific work laid out, one applying it's efforts to national connections and the other to the development of local or intra-state roads and their proper connections.
 Supporters of the national highway movement are increasing their activi- ties in the expressed belief that in the pending measure they are working for a plan whereby comprehensive sys- tenn of national highways may be con structed and put into permanent oper. ation within the next few years, and at less cost to the public than under any other plan.

CARE AND UPKEEP OF AUTOS PROVIDE
 FUN FOR OWNERS

To 8 great many motorists one of the pleasures of owning an automo- bile is the care and upkeep of the car. Instead of wanting someone to keep the car in shape to run all the time, the motorist likes to tinker himself and takes a lot of pride in his ability to make all minor adjustments and even completely to overhaul his own car.
 "For this type of motorist, par ticular quality of car is best" says J. B. Gunter, of the Flagstaff Garage, distributor of Dodge cars. "In the first place, such owners generally want a car that is of medium size and that operates at moderate cost. The larger, more expensive cars gen erally have too many fine technical points to bother the strictly amateur service man. Moreover, they mostly are owned by men whose time is too valuable to use in doing their own service. Secondly, the car for such a motorist must be so designed and built that the ordinary man can do his repairs and adjustments. It must be accessible to point where most of the work can be done in private garage with only a limited number of tools and working facilities.
 "While the motorist who cares for his own car is prone to gather good lot of tools and material about him, he is limited to hand machinery in most cases.
 "The car must be so built that it is simple throughout. It is perfectly possible for the average motorist to master the theories of motor car de- sign and to handle adjustments in a sensible manner, but it is confusing to have a lot of complicated parts when the worker is not an expert mechanic
 Personally, I am glad to see an owner who wants to look after his own car. I believe that such an own CT invariably takes better care of his automobile and the car gives him better service because of it. After all, seeing that the car he sells gives honest, faithful service, is the biggest reward a dealer can get. It's what counts in the long run"

THIS GROCERY STORE
 VISITS ITS CUSTOMERS

A man in Dallas, Tex, has whole grocery store mounted on a motor truck and takes complete stock of household supplies to the very doors of his customers. The travelling en1- porium is of the self-help variety; the proprietor driver remains at the wheel of his craft, his patrons making their own selections and deliveries. A fixed time schedule is observed, and the customer whose purchases are not completed when time is up, gets a short ride to the next stop. The pe- cuniary arrangement is "pay as you leave."

J. B. Gunter has bought out the half interest of his partner, s. L. Mitchell, in the Flagstaff Garage and Dodge automobile agency. MT. Gun ter bought into the business last De- cember, and now, as the full-iedged proprietor, he will conduct the busi- ness alone--of course, with the assist ance of capable staff of mechanics. Mir. Mitchell, whose family is still in Idaho, will go to Albuquerque, and may locate there.

HIS MEMORY GOOD

A widely known humorist was being shaved by a very talkative barber and was forced to listen to many of his anecdotes.
 The barber had to stop to strop his razor and when he was ready, brush in hand, to commence again, he asked:
 "Shall I go over it again ?'
 "No, thanks" drawled his customer, tits hardly necessary. think I can remember every word."

 Under infation is the most prevalent and most expensive piece of carelessness of the modern motorist The evil cannot be too strongly emphasized.
 Ride on air. not on the tire walls-thsy are only the air containers It ia just like trying to break a piece of wire by bending 1t with the fingers. The car in passing con.tantly moves up and down under the action Of tho springs: the weight of the car causes the rubber and fabric to be kneaded like dough. while the heavy casing is rolled this way and that around a bend narrow radius. Gradually. the fabric layers break apart and the tread is pulled away from the body. It takes on wavy appearance commonly known as buckiing and cannot possibly be repaired.
