OWNERS KEEP TAB
 OV EXPENSE ITEMS

Truck owners are today itemizing operating expense more carefully than
 ever. Concerns using trucks of differ ent makes invariably keep comparison
 accounts are are therefore quick to
 notice any marked economy or decided
 advantage of ane truck over another.
 In other words, they judge their fleets
 on dollar and cents basis in which performance receives due considera- tion.
 Strong evidence pointing to the econ- l omy of the Grant truck is found in
 a letter to the Grant Motor Car Cor poration, Cleveland, Ohia, from A. B. Penney. Transportation Manager of the Portland Damascus Milk company,
 Portland, Oregon, who writes: Tn Jan-
 uary of this year we purchased two 115 ton truck, one of which was a Grant. Since that time both of these trucks have been operating in the same
 kind of work, over approximately the
 same kinds of roads, and under similar conditions. Up to May 1 the Grant truck covered 1928 niles and the other 1k ton truck has covered 3,465 miles
 During this time the Grant has made
 3-20 miles per gallon of gasoline, an 2.44 miles per gallon of oil. The other truck has made miles to a gallon of
 gasoline and 96 miles per gallon of oil. The operating expense of the Grant truck has, therefore, been just a little
 over half the cost of operating the
 other1 F ton truck.

FAMOUS AIR PILOT
 DROVE \ CADILLAC
 IN bOYHOOD DAYS

It was at the wheel of a 1905 Cad lilac that Lieut.. Commander Albert C. Read of the NC-4, the first airplane to cross the Atlantic, learned to drive a power propelled vechicle.
 This old Cadillac is still owned by r. B. Livermore, of South Hanson, Mass, who is very proud of his wonderful car, and of the boy, now grown famous, who used to drive it.
 Years ago, before going to Annapolis, Commander Read lived in South Han son. He used to drive around in MT Livermore's Cadillac then, and if he should return to South Hanson today, he could enjoy the same privilege The veteran car is still in perfect run ming order and as full of pep as ever.
 The car has long since been divested of it's original appearance. Its equip ment is perhaps more practical than beautiful, but it's condition is still first class.
 "The old car always goes,' said Mr. Livermore to a caller. "The excellence of the various parts after years of use is wonderful. I use the car to drive around in all summer and in the win ter time I make my living with it. saving wood.' MT. Livermore is a Heaven born mechanic. His wood saving outfit, thanks to his reliable Cadillac, is one hundred per cent eff ficient, and yet it in no way interferes with the cars usefulness in touring"
 MT. Livermore does not know the ex- act number of miles this veteran of 1905 has covered, but from the best information available it has travelled at least 150,000 miles.

As another decisive step toward aiding the farmer to solve the labor problem, John N. Wllyis, president of The Willys- Overland Company. The Moline Flow Works and other inter ests is to manufacture an electric lighting and power plant for farms
 The system, which is known as Will lys Light, will be manufactured by The Electric Auto-Lite Corporation of Toledo, of which Mir. Willys is the head. The Auto Lite Corporation has been engaged in the manufacture Of electric lighting and starting systems for automobiles. With increased ia elites it is prepared to produce the new light and power system in quan- titles sufficient to meet the antici- pated demands.
 Mir Willys decision to manufacture and market practical light and power plant is in keeping with his policy to further the agricultural interests of the country Early in his career as an automobile manufacturer he recog nized the potential value of the motor car to farming and began building a car which would appeal to the farmer as well as to the resident of the city. The fact that nearly 60 per cent of the automobiles his factories have produced are owned in rural com munties shows the wisdom of his thinking.
 More than a year ago he foresaw the coming adoption of the tractor on farms large and small and pur chased the Moline Flow Works, manu featuring blows and tractors, to further carry out his purpose.
 In view of these things it is logi- cal that he should produce light and power system which will not only in crease farming efficiency, but will add materially to the comforts of the farm home for. with the advent of the cleo tric light, has come other conveniences such as the sanitary bath. furnace heat and running water within the house. These conveniences should play an inn portant part in influencing farm help, more or less dissatisfied at times with the old order of things, to take new interest in their surroundings.
 The power utility of the electric plant will make it possible to perform an increased amount of labor with only minimum effort. It will operate essential farm machinery such as churns, and washing machines and will provide in addition the necessary power for vacuum cleaners and heat for electric irons to say nothing of operating other electrical apparatus which heretofore scarcely has been found outside the city.
 The new Willys Light is said to be the most complete which has yet been manufactured. It is operated by a Knight sleeve-valve engine which is I known in the automobile industry for it's quietness, simplicity and durability. Numerous tests have disclosed that it will work six hours on a gallon of l kerosent. It has been perfected until it requires practically no attention and

ALbR|GHT BACK FROM F|RESTONE TIRE CONF FERENCE

R. R. Albright, manager of the Fire stone Branch in Phoenix, arrived in town last Tuesday from a conference held at the factory in Akron. This conference was attended by every branch manager in the country. Ac- cording to MT. Albright, one of the points gone into by the conference was that of obtaining greater distribution of the company's products, through the establishment of many new branches throughout the country. The Fire stone factory is now working at top speed, and yet at the same time is un- able to supply the demand for fabric and cord tires. As this great con- cern specializes in the manufacture of tires and tire products almost ex- clusively, this is a splendid indication of the healthiness of its business which is leaping forward by leaps and bounds.
 While in the east, MT. Albright had opportunities of studying the pro- duction and demand of motor cars, and states that there is hardly a factory that is not having difficulty in filling the orders for new cars. This condi- tion, he states as his belief, is at- tributable to prosperous condition ot the farmers, manufacturers and mer- chants, as well as the general public the country over, and this great ac. tivity in the automobile business i, naturally reflected in the tire business
 Albright made an especial study O the ship by truck methods that arr being carried out in the cities O Cleveland and Chicago, and ha brought back with him many idea for the establishment of the bureau il Phoenix for handling traffic in tn Salt River valley. He states that tn ship by truck movement is doing won ders in the transportation business ordinating the trucking facilities il the big centers in a manner tha enables shippers to save a great dea of time, labor and expense that ar usually involved in the short haul oe livery.
 q felt the heat more at ninety de grees in Chicago" says Albright than at one hundred and fifteen il Phoenix. We think out here that ou summer weather is hot. I would ad wise any man who is dissatisfied witt Phoenix weather to take a little TUT back to Chicago about this time. H will return a changed individual, an spend the rest of his days in boostin the climate of the Salt River valley.
 Albright states that a large mum Der of people asked him about tn agricultural and industrial possibilitie of Arizona, and a great many state their intention of visiting Phoenix thi winter.

 AFTER [O|IC TESTS
Heavy-d ty, Fast-delivery Truck Men Have Oppor- tunity to Hear About Re suits of Recent Gas Saw ing Test

Keeping an ear to the ground may not be among the classical sports, but if the ear belongs to a gas fan" and it is grounded for news or that game there is sport in the pose which often has real compensations, as any motor truck expert will affirm.
 It is something which the wisej III the automobile truck trade are recom- mending today to all gas- saving en- thusisasts who are interested parucu larly in heavy duty fast-delivery trucks. To these the compensation takes the form of news regarding re- suits of recent gasoline consumption tests with trucks using giant pneu- matic and solid tires.
 "A proved saving Of twelve and one half per cent in gas and oil for trucks with pneumatic equipment has been announced by our factory engineers, said Geo. o. Kimmick, manager Boss Rubber company, local Firestone truck tire dealers, yesterday Two trucks, one with giant pneumatic equipment and the other with solid rubber tires, operated over a distance of $500 miles, under the same conditions, in making the test The trucks were of the same
 
 Gasoline and oil expense is, of course, a variable item. It is diff cult to estimate because of local con- ditions, grades and curves in the road over which a truck is operated. For instance a truck equipped with pneu- matic tires will show a 25 per cent saving over solids in gas and oil con- sumption when on level roads and coasting down grades.
 "On the other hand, trucks changed over from solid to pneumatic tires will have from 10 to 15 per cent less power on hills-due to larger wheel diameter unless gear ratio is changed, and 1 hence will consume more gasoline on up grades; but the greater diameter of wheels makes it possible to run at greater speed without increasing the engine speed. Gear ratio may be changed at nominal cost, but the change is not necessary in order to do satisfactory work.
 "All these varying conditions were met in the $500 mile test have re- ferred to- It strikes an average for gas and oil saving, giving persons in terested in operation figures per ton mile some food for thought.
 They should figure this saving in conjunction with other remarkable savings possible through pneumatic equipment. Due to greater protection to the truck cost of repairs will drop seventy per cent, and the life of the | truck will be doubled. Operating ra dius increases. One truck has been known to do the work of two former ly operated on solid tires.
 "The giant pneumatic cord tire the Firestone company is manufacturing is constructed to save the truck. the load. the fuel, and to add speed. By it's use the saving in cost of operation per ton mile will quickly offset the greater initial cost of pneumatic equipment"
