De P0Jma Used Red CrOaU1a Gas
 On Record Rum

When Ralph de Palma, in a trial lap over the Santa Monica course, broke the worlds road race record recently, he was running on the Standard Oil company's Red Crown gasoline. De Palma covered the course at an aver age rate of 93.3S miles per hour, the fastest officially recorded speed ever made on any road course in the world.
 It is a remarkable tribute to the full and dependable power of Red Crown that it should have been the choice of the greatest automobile driv- CT of the day, and that through its use he was able to set up such a remark able record. The gasoline supplied him was not in any way specially made for the purpose, but DePalma filled his tank from the regular gasoline wagon on the garage floor of the Packard representative in Los Angeles.
 This record again demonstrates the truth of the Standard Oil company S claim that Red Crown, straight dis ! titled, all-refinery gasoline, with it's full and continuous chain of boiling points, is absolutely dependable for easy starting, quick and smooth accel- eration, full power and long mileage.

SOUTHERN MOTOR C0. SECURES AGENCY IF
 HART-PARR TRACTOR

A recent development in the tractor field is announced. The Southern Bor- der Motor company of this city has taken over the state agency for the Hart-Parr tractor. c. E. Stromberg, local branch manager, in obtaining this agency has secured one of the best known and up-to-date tractors on the market The Hart-Parr is new machine in this field but has proven itself an excellent performer in the east. In speaking of the Hart Parr. MT. Stromberg said:-
 'The first official test for tractors in 1919 was won by the Hart-Parr tractor at the big demonstration held in Columbus. Ohio, under the direction of the Ohio State University. The Hart -Parr was officially credited with producing STE horse power which is horse power more than any other 3 power tractors in the field. In the fuel economy test the Hart-Parr had bat one close competitor. and this machine also led the field in the reserve horse power development in the maximum load test. This machine has two cy- finders. four cycle motor, valve in head | type. Cast steel frame, sliding trans
 mission, and all other late devises i known to the tractor machines.
 The Southern Border Motor com | pany expects it's first shipment of
 these tractors within the next feig | days and will conduct a public demon | stration to exhibit the ability and per- 1 formance of this new machine.

ENGLISH TRACK TO BE REPAIRED

Advices from England indicate that the famous Brooklands race track. which during the war was allowed 10 deteriorate into a condition unsafe for high speeds, is to be repaired. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders will assist the Brooklands Au- tomobile Racing club in restoring tho famous speedway to its former excel lent condition, preparatory to the re- vival of racing in England.
 This track. which is of conc1ebe con- struction, for some time held many of the worlds automobile speed records, until new ones~we1e set up by De Pal ma and Chevrolet in the American speedway races of 1917 and 1918. Itis noteworthy that the new worlds speed records were established on Goodyear cord tires of the straight side type, whereas the English records were made on tires of the clincher type. Racers
 have come to appreciate the additional speed and the greater degree of free dom from trouble that straight siGe tires permit. All of the important American racing drivers are now using this type of tire.

THE IMPROVED FORD
 ANM|RRORS TIE
 TASTE EOF PURCHASER

A Ford car may just as well express the taste and individuality of the owner as anything that may be purchased, and when one states that all of Henry F'ord's products look alike they should limit the statement to ''the average Ford just as the average car of any other make looks like it's brother. When the business that a man has made a success of is due to his ar ustc sense of proportion, an ability to create beauty out of plainneSS, and q. deftness in so harmoniZing a person to his or her dress that it almost amounts to genius, that man would be expected to look for or create beauty in anything he purchased with the same skill used in making a success of his business. This is exactly what has happened in the case of the Ford sedan purchased by Charles E. Heath, the photographer from Ed Rudolpr last week. As Ed Rudolph expresses it, MT. Heath knew just exactly what he wanted, and the softly toned green body contrasted with the white wire wheels, and the many delft touches that can be given to any object to bring ouL Us 1lue points mas been gwen to this Ford sedan at Mir. Heath's orders. It is one of the neatest looking, mod erately priced cars that has ever been seen in Phoenix. and MT. Heath is to be congratulated on his good taste. As he states, "The Ford sold itself" He has ben importuned by every auto mobile salesman in Phoenix to look. ride, or buy any and every make of car on the market However MT. Heath decided to buy a moderately priced car, and in reply to one sales man he remarked, T should rather buy the best that Henry Ford makes than the poorest that your company sells" The last shot fired at Mir. Heath by a group of salesmen to whom he explained he had decided upon the Ford sedan, was that if he purchased one of their cars he would have free service, but no service was given on a Ford by Ed Rudolph. Heath replied that when a mans business has grown 10 the volume of Ed. Rudolph's it must be based upon fair treatment to it's customers and he would take chance. It is not believed that any man is taking a chance when he deals with Ed Rudolph.

tion which have gained for the Cole aero eight an enviable reputation.
 With the cessation of hostilities in Europe and the signing of the armistice theCole Motor Car company increased its production 100 per cent, thereby assuring deliveries of it's product in substantial quantities. Since that time it has further increased it's pro- duction.
 The goal, however, has not yet been reached. E ythe close of 1919 produc- ton will have been increased almost a half more or 15O per cent over that of 1918.
 At the present orders are being re- ceived at double the rate cars can be manufactured. Many dealers are over selling their allotment and are placing orders twice within the month. All are anticipating sales and are placing their orders accordingly 30 days in advance
 The dealers, fully aware of the con ditions, are passing the word to the buyers. advising those who conten plate the purchase of a car to order for immediate delivery. That prospective buyers are needing this advice is evident from the un- usual number of sales at the various shows throughout the country and sub- Sequent orders.

Paerce Trucks LoWer Cost Of
 M 1lk DeJ1verg

Were it not for the dependable ser vice performed by Pierce-Arrow trucks thousands of families would fail to re- ceive their milk supply, day after day. Furthermore, were it not for their economy the cost of milk distribution would be increased materially.
 Milk in bulk is hauled quickly and economically by Pierce-Arrow trucks throughout the country. Milk distri- button demands unfailing performance 565 days of the year. Moreover, 1t demands a low gallon haulage cost.
 Just how Pierce Arrow trucks are fulfilling these requirements may be illustrated by the trucks operated by J B. Prescott, milk distributor who serves retailers of Boston and neigh boring cities. One of these trucks, ive-tonner, has operated continuously S65 days of the year, over 74-mile route since May, 1913. During that time the truck has never been off the road single day except for a months period in 1916, when it was given the customary overhauling.- This truck has travelled 150,0OO miles, yet the re- pair cost has been surprisingly low The truck delivers 1900 gallons daily at cost of slightly more thau one
 
 tlon, insurance, garage expense, drivers wages and all operating costs. MT. Prescotts other Pierce-Arrow pos sesses an equally enviable record, ex- 1 cept that it has travelled 75,000 miles instead of 150,000.
 A similar performance may be found i in the case of Louis Corbin of Phila- delphia, whose five-ton Pierce -Arow never fails to cover it's daily 6o-mile rSute, no matter the weather or road conditions. This truck in a years time covered 30,000 miles and never missed trip, except once when an accident delayed it a few hours. Its operating cost is similar to that of Prescotts | trucks.
 "Such a record can be approached | by no other truck" said E. D. Bab- bitt, the local Pierce-Arrow dealer "Only a Pierce-Arrow has ever de- | livered such consistent unfailing per- formance at so low a cost"

It's q curious fact that some
heroes lose, rather than gain, pop
ularity when their deeds are re-
corded in romance; such was the
case of the famous Karl OF the
Franks, who is responsible for the
origin OF the feminine name Caro-
line. The great emperor has SUI
fered at the hands of romantic
chfoniclers but history preserved
the memory of Carlo Nagno," and
from his name came a long series
Of masculine and femme proper
names.
The first feminine translation
known is Carlota. This name is
synonymous with Charlotte in
those early times, and indeed. Char
lotte and the Caroline of today are
almost interchangeable, if their
origin is to be observed, no matter
how separate and distinct they
seem to be. Charlotte, or Carlota,
Of Savoy. married Louis NJ and
introduced the name to French
royalty. Charlotte d'Albret had

riage to Cesare Borgia and had one
daughter, who married into the
house of La Tremouille, whence
the brave Lady Derby carried il
into England.

The Attorney Generals Plan.


Attorney General Palmer has the right idea
in combating the high cost of living. He told
the conference in Chicago yesterday afternoon
that the department Of justice can take care
of only the more fragrant offenders, since the
vast majority Of prohteers cannot be reached
by the laws. There are too many subterfuges
that may be employed In >justifying additions
TO the final price Of an article. Prosecution
too often is slow and uncertain process.
AZ better plan and one that may be ap-
piled to any person, Arm or corporation deal
ing with the public. the attorney general sug-
gested publicity. He believes that the cost Of
manufacturing ought to be stamped upon arti-
cles before they are distributed. The person,
he said. who picked up . pair Of shoes marked
showing that their cost when they left the
manufacturers hands was $4s5 probably would
refuse to pay SIS to $32- for them at retail. And

It isn't to be expected that the middle man
