PACIFIC COAST WON
A HARD Battle
Division Of the United States Fleet and
Dispatch of Part to Pacific Coast
Gives That Section Adequate
Naval Protection"

San Francisco, Aug. 4.-Division of the
United States navy and dispatch to this
coast Of the Pacific fleet marks the end
Of long campaign that has been waged
by officials and citizens of Pacific states
for what they termed adequate naval
protection"
The Pacific coast attitude had been
that great possibility of attack menaced
the Pacific states unless the nation sent
westward a large fleet.
Active campaigning for a big Pacific
naval force began with the close of the
Spanish. American war. 1t was urged
that the Philippines and other Pacific
islands possessed by the United States
should be protected. Governors, con.
gressionsl representatives and other Off
Gals made strong representations in the
months following that war for increased
naval strength on the Pacific.
After the building of the Panama ca
nal many men in public life asserted
that, in case of attack from the Pacific
and destruction of the canal the larg
est part OF the eountry's naval force
would be kept away from the Pacific
for a long period during which the Pa
cifc states would be open to invasion.
Public men and newspapers of the
Pacific coast were practically unit for
naval expansion and ultimate station Of
a large force here. Plans for curtailing
naval expansion with the signing Of the
armistice in some quarters were coun.
tered by many insistent demands from
this coast that the full building pro.
gram be adhered to.

iels that the navy was to be divided and
approximately 200 ships stationed in the

order gain adhereuts, it is reasonable to
suppose that the old system is unsstis-
factory to good number. Most men
are innately conservative; so long as the
old familiar ways are bearable they will
not turn to the unknown.
If someone must forestall the national
government in this matter of taking sc-
tion against the sabotagers Of food dis
tribution it is preferable that it be gov
ernors who do so. In Italy and France
it is the people themselves who are
bringing prices down. We know how
they do it.
When some citizens roll in luxury
while others must resort to violence in
order to live, the feeling grows that the
government has failed More than the
cost Of bread and meat is at stake in the
coming battles between our government
and the profteers.-Boston Globe.

Every Unsurfaced Mile
OF Road a Toll Gate

Edward s. Jordan, president Of the
Jordan Motor Car Company, of Cleve-
land, makes the statement that every
mile of good roads built in this country
develops a group of ten possible auto
mobile buyers. He looks at every mile
of bad roads as collecting needless toll
from car owners.
1--WE have 12,5OO,ooO miles of roads
in this country" said Jordan, "and
only II per cent of them are surfaced
Now, say that it costs ten cents more
mile to carry q ton Of freight over
bad road. Then for every mile of un-
surfaced road we have practically a
toll gate. There are about two million
of these toll gates. That discourages
the man who owns truck as we'll as
the man who drives for pleasure.
"I am glad to see the statement of
David F. Houston, Secretary of Agri-
culture, that the government will spend
$343,S0O,00O on roads this year in their
Federal aid roadbuilding programme.
That is greater than any such project
ever accomplished in this country.

New Auto Lock
For Cars Enters
New York Field
F. 0. B. Combination An.
points Wagner Specially
Company to Handle 1t;
Approvedby Underwriters

A new automobile lock has entered
the New York field through the closing
Of negotiations of the F. O. B. Manu-
featuring Company with the Wagner
Specially Company, 1902 Broadway,
near Sixtythird Street. The lock is
the f. O. B. combination auto lock,
which has been used successfully on
automobiles in Philadelphia territory
for several months. 1t differs from
other theft protection devices in lock-
ing with combination like a safe, in
stead Of with "a key. Twirlng the dial
locks the car, and turning to the three
number combination releases it.
The +. O. B. lock is fixed on the
steering column and acts on the steer
ing gear. 1t holds the wheels in a
straight line, making it impossible to
turn corners in efforts to drive or tow
the car away.
The manufacturers claims for the
lock are supported by the Under
writer's Laboratories, which have
formally approved it, thus reducing
theft insurance premiums on cars
equipped with it. The lock is made
of aluminium steel is about five inches
long by two inches wide and can be
attached to any car.
First class installation service for
the lock is assured New York motorists
through the Wagner Speciality Com
pany, which is equipped to attach the
lock at its service station at head
quarters, 1902 Broadway, and in a
short time will have the installing.

Of the Stephens Salient Six for New
York, Connecticut and New JERSEY.
has received notice from the factory
that car Of this make won the trophy
in the medium priced class in the
annual economy run from Los Angeles
to Camp Curry. The car averaged
2l.4 miles to a gallon and beat all the
water cooled cars in any class by a
fair margin.
One of the leading publications on
the Pacific Coast says of this per-
formance:
with record of 46.2 ton miles the
stephens Salient Six won the medium
priced ear class in the Los Angeles to
Camp Curry economy run last week.
This means that the Stephens made a
record for gasoene, oil and water
economy in its class in one of the
hards5t runs in the West The route
from Los Angeles to Camp Curry is
over boulevards,S through mountains
and over some Of the toughest and
hardest roads in the West.
THE Stephens used only 17h
gallons of gasolene on the run of 374.5
miles with load Of 1920 pounds This
average was 21.4, setting a new record
for cars in this class.
This is the second year that the
Stephens has won. Last year the car
made the run in record time without
hitch. and, in addition to winning the
cup for its class, it also won the Auto
Club trophy for the most economical
user Of gas and oil of all the cars

Arizona Plans Big
Road Making Schedule

important steps yet taken in the de-
velopment of this wonderful state.

manager of the Studebaker Corpora
tion's branch in that city, after $3.50
mile tour over Arizona recently. With
his supervisor of service Mr.. Car
penter visited every county but three
in the northeastern corner. The Stude-
baker officials drove Studebaker 60
horsepower Big Six and made remark
able tipe, despite the condition Of
some Of the roads.
"They are eager for good roatls in
Arizona" said Carpenter. "That does
not apply to any one section-all Ari-
zona wants roads. l visited nineteen
Studebaker dealers and talked with
there is a demand for an adequate,
up to date highway system.
"Arizona deserves much credit for
her progressivencss in the good roads
work. There are vast areas of sparse
ly settled districts, so that the cost
will fall> upon the comparative few.
But that is not keeping them back.
They know that good roads will be a
wonderful asset for the state.
"And good roads. is not the only
absorbing topic. There is tho all-im-
portant topic Of oil. The state is 60
ing in for Oil with big boom. Some
of the smaller towns have very quickly
been converted into cities - almost
over night. 1t recalls the days of the
famous old mining booms.
"There is a steady agricultural de-
velopment also. The cotton planta-
tions are being enlarged and already
Arizona's long staple cotton has won
fame all over the country.
"The automobile figures very prom
inently in tho transportation scheme
of Arizona. The automobile stage runs
everywhere and the trucks are always
on the job. l found many Studebaker
cars in stage service and all giving
the same satisfaction that has char
acterized the new Studebaker cars
from their inception"
Mr.. Carpenter also said that he
found there was an acute shortage Of
Studebaker cars throughout the state,
just as there is in every other part
of the country.
