no HOPE or OASIS
AFTER JULY seen
Congress at Extra Session Ex-
pected to Pass Legislation
Enforcing Prohibition
LEADERS IN HOUSE AGREE
BIZ q stu6 Correspoudcat

Washington, April 21.-There is
nothing in the situation in connection
with the wartime prohibition to go into
effect July I or the national prohibl
tion constitutional amendment which
viii take effect next January to furnish
any foundation for the hope or expccta q
ton on the part of the vets that
the United States will not become tee
totally dry on July ! and remain 50
forever. it was asserted today by +. &.
Dinwiddie, secretary Of the National
Anti Saloon League.
That this is the real situation III re-
gard to the liquor question was admit
ted by Representative Frank W. Mon
dell. Republican floor leader in th"
House, and Champ Clark. who Will be
the Democratic floor leader. Both Mon
dell and Clark expressed their firm be
lief that between the time Congress
meets at the extra session and July |
it will pass unhesitatingIy the neceS e
sary legislation to give the govern -
ment the authority and money needed
to enforce the prohibition laws.
There is also no real ground for hope
that the termination of the war in the
near future may create an oasis be
tween the coming of peace and the time
when the national prohibition amend
ment becomes effective, Mr.. Dinwiddlc
declared, because the wartime prohlbi
tion law does not provide that it shall
remain in effect until the end of the
war. but that it shall cease to be op-
erative upon the termination of war
and the rehabilitation Of the army,
the same to be determined and pro
claimed by the President.
Congress has passed all the Iegisla
tion necessary to make the United
States dry beginning July |. together
with penalties for violations. said Mr..
Dinwiddie. I'VE have the fullest assur
ance from leaders OF the Republicans
and Democrats in both the Senate and
House that as soon as Congress meets
in extra session legislation will be
passed giving the Internal Revenue Blu
reau all the authority and money need

BUYERS QF TRUCKS SHOULD STUDY HE
 HAULAGE PROBLEM

Millions of dollars are wasted an- nually through the iniudicious choice of trucks. according to Mir. Ferguson of the Fcrwuson-Kocler company. To- cat Oldsmobilc dealers.
 "Ey that | means" said Mr. Fcrgu- son. that he average business man does not make a close enough study of the actual hauling conditions that exist in hts business before deciding on what tvpc of truck Co buy. he does not really analyzc hts own problems. AS % result. as often as not Inc buys a truck ot thc wrong capac'sity and that spells waste
 Stand on any business corner for on hou TOT SO and you will discover that this is the literal truth. You win notice particularly that a very large percentage of the heavy duty trucks are loaded to far less than tho.r rated capacity; often tho load win loo less than 90 quarter of Wh1 thc truck ,s capable of hauling The reason for this is often indicated py tnc nature Of tho load lt is apparent thIt the owner does sometimes have occasion to haul capacity loads Ana it is equally apparent that in buying thc truck he had in mind chiefly those occasional instances rather than tht day-in and day-out service the truck would bc called upon Co deliver.
 Now, suppose he had chosen 30 truck of far smaller capacity. His average load would cost far less to haul The amount invested wiuld he lcss fuel and oil costs would be cm practically in two. maintenance costs would bc very much reduced. Besides the lighter truck will make grcdr deal better time. especially if it is mounted on pneumatic tires. Hence it vii lhave plenty o ftime Co split the occasional biz joh in two or even three hauls without inconvenience 10 anyone.
 'our experience with tho Oldsmobiie Economy truck. which has a rated ca- pacity of i5oO Co 1000 pounds. is dem onstrating every day that the speedy. staunch trucE of relatively small ca- pacity is the logical economical som- ton of the average hauling problem. But business houses who put their hauling on a purely mathematical basis have learned this lesson. and it win not be long before it is a gencr- 1ily recognized fact.

GOOD WINTER AND WARS END HELPED
 THE TIRE BUSINESS

'The open winter we are having thls year is having a big effect on Phoenix automobile business" said C. H. How ard, manager of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber company here. Tire business is keeping up this winter without @ single lull Usually this time of year is ex- ceptonally slow in our line.
 "Open winter conditions, especially as contrasted with last year, have kept a big proportion of automobiles run ming" continued Mr. Howard T have noticed more cross state touring this winter than ever before in the history of the motor car industry
 Just how long this condition will continue cannot be predicted, but every day past is a day nearer spring and dealers in cars tires and accessories are rolling mp sales totals never before heard of this early in the season.
 During the past year when war re- strictions caused an enornous depres- sion in the automobile industry the big majority of motorists economized in gasoline and tires to the very limit The patriotism Of the American motorist asserted itself eUvAatically
 Now condiJiCns are different" said Alr. Howard. "ln my opinion there would be double the touring during 1919 than there was last year even with no new cars-With the 5.500.0Q0 now registered. But, Of course, there will be well over a million new cars man ufactured during 1919.
 There's nothing tO stop the mo toring public this year. Peace has lifted the lid. Car owners intend to make up for lost time and the roads will be crowded with touring from early spring until late fall
 Another feature having a tremen- dous bearing on the increase in autu- mobile riding this winter is the return Of hundreds of soldiers from overseas and American training camps. Many of these young men drive either their own or their governors ear. I be- lieye a young man between 70 and 30 years of age will drive at least three times as much as an older motorist. { Touring suffered q big set back last summer because of the thousands of former car driers being in the Ameri- can army We are coming in contact with an ever increasing number of re- turned soldiers in the sale of tires anc in tire repair work
 Genuine optimism of the entire au- l tomobiie industry as to the future. combined with having the weather man on our side of the fence this winter, ! has performed wonders in the Phoeni& ! tire business said Mir. Howard

RIGHT TYPE IF TIRE
 SHOULD BE USED ON
 EVERY MOTOR TRUCK

In motor trucking there are a lot of places where money can leak out If the right type of tire is not used. In these days tires have been developed for practically every kind of service, so that the truck owner who is not using q tire adapted to the service his trucks are expected to perform, is undoubted ly operating at a too-high tire-mile cost. There is a tire for his needs that will greatly reduce his expense.
 There is obviously little economy i'll operating trucks in service where speedy deliveries are required, on solid tires, for the eXcessie vibration caused by the high speed of the truck, piles up repair bills that are usually greater than the earninoS of the haul. Trucks in such service should operate on pneumatic tires.
 On the other hand, there is little need of equipping slow going, heavy duty trucks with pneumauce tires, for soliO tires in this service would perform more economically by reason of the re- duced libality of excessive vibration.
 "The solution of the matter, says the local branch manager for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company !, lies in the selection, at the outset, ot the type of tire best suited to the serv- ice the truck must operate in. As tire manufacturers we are. of course, dis interested, for we have developed q type of tire for every kind of motol truck service. We are, however, inter ested in seeing that all local motor truck owners operate their trucks on the type of tire that will render the best service.
 We have just launched a campaign in this city, to acquaint truck owners with the special characteristics of each kind of tire, that they may operate with the greatest economy.
 Special men, experts from our fac tory at Akron, Ohio, are here now con- ducting an investigation of local condl- tionS, to better enable us to recommend the proper type of tire for all local needs
 "The services of these men are at the command of all local truck owners who desire to increase the efficiency and earning power of their trucks These men will explain the inspectiol service of our local dealers and the specifice working conditions under which various kinds of tires give the | best results"
