MAKING WHISKEY STILLS IS NEW OUTDOOR SPORT
 IN SALT RIVER VALLEY

Large numbers of stills for the manufacture of pure corn whiskey are being made and used right in the city of Phoenix and just as many more are being used in various hiding places around the county, according to Sher- iff Montgomery. The sheriff stated yesterday that he was well aware cer- tain industries in Phoenix were fur nishing materials for the making of stills, but that it was next to impos- sible to secure evidence against the manufacturers of whiskey, due to the fact that the stills are small and it is easy to attach them to nearby sewer, thus stifing all odors that be- tray their presence.
 Evidence that hundreds of dollars worth of corn whiskey is being made thereabouts was secured few days ago when a well set up still was con- fiscated west of the city. The run of liauor, had it been allowed to go through before the arrest of the man in charge, would have been worth over $1 800. The still had capacity of IA barrels.
 The whisley which is being made is pure white in color and contains a large percentage of alcohol. The fed eral authorities are handicapped in searching for the illicit stills by a shortage of field men in this vicinity, but the sheriff is cooperating with them and the two officers together are doing everything possible to make it hot for the whiskey makers.

IN FULL
 SWING ALL OVER U. s,

Since early in 1919 there has been a steady increase each month in the fed eral-aid business in the Bureau of Public Roads of the United States De- partment of Agriculture. States in all sections of the country are filing their projects and receiving allotments. The road building era is in full swing, and it would seem that the end is not yet. All indications point to greater rec ords in the months immediately to come.
 Based on complete reports from A of the states, cash expenditures on the rural roads and bridges of the United States for the calendar year 1918 amounted to $285,098,1 ,193. To this should be added the value of statute and convict labor, which can not be fixed with any great degree of accu- racy, but probably amounted to not less than $14,000, 900, thus making the grand total expenditures for the year $500, 100000. This total is made up of the actual expenditures for such items as labor, materials, supervision and administration directly connected with the construction, improvement and upkeep of public roads and bridges outside the limits of incorpo- rated towns and cities, and does not include any item for sinking fund pay ments or redemption and interest on road and bridge bonds. E The year 1918 offered an unprece- dented condition in practically all lines of highway work. There was pot only tremendous increase and expansion in the amount of heavy truck traffic on public roads and ar unprecedented shortage in regard tc road materials, labor, and ready funds, but also a decided increase ir maintenance work, which was, how. ever, partially offset by decrease ir the amount of new construction.

FRANKLIN CAR SETS
 LOW-GEAR RECORDS

Tillman Bros, of the New White Garage, are both very enthusiastic over the Franklin car, for which they have just secured the agency in north ern Arizona. Garland Tillman drove Franklin from Phoenix last week, and says he did not go into low all the way and didn't shift gears be- tween Williams and Flagstaff.
 The Franklin has no radiator, being air cooled. The longer it runs in low gear in winter the cooler the engine gets, and it will not overheat in low gear even in summer.
 H. D. Tillman gives The Sun some interesting facts concerning the per formances of the Franklin. In 1914 he says, 116 stock cars each ran 100 miles in low gear. in ten hours, with out stopping the engines. In May of that year, 94 stock cars averaged 32.S miles each on a gallon of gasoline. In July, 1917, 179 stock cars, in the na- tional efficiency demonstration, aver aged 40.3 miles on a single gallon of gasoline.
 The Franklin ran 1,046 miles, from Chicago to New York, on a single gal i lon of lubricating oil.
 In August, 1915, stock car ran in low gear all the way from Walla Walla, Wash, to San Francisco, 86O miles, in 83 hours and 40 minutes without stopping the engine. High and intermediate gears were removed before the start, and the transmission , sealed.

USE CLEAN WATER
 IN FILLING RADIATOR

Let it be emphasized that the aver age car owner is far too casual in the sort of water he uses in his cool ing system. If dirty water is used in this connection little foreign matter entering at each filling soon creates the material for complete ,stoppage. On the other hand, with the pump sys- tenn there is not much danger of over heating due to stoppage of the sys- tenn because the positive action of the pump forces the water around and prevents the tying up of the system in this way, But when anything goes wrong with the pump the system at once ceases to circulate the water, which immediately boils, with the usual consequences. By opening the drain of the pump system and observ- ing the rate at which the water pours out you can get an accurate line on the way in which the device is func- tioning.

SHIFT GEARS SLOWLY;
 HERE IS BEST WAY

One of the marks of good driver is the manner in which he handles the gear shifting lever. Of course, the design of the clutch and transmission has great deal to do with easy gear shifting, but even with these advan- tages certain amount of practice is necessary in order to shift the gears deftly without noise or clashing.
 This clashing is caused by the outer ends of the gear teeth striking each other instead of meshing as they should, with the result that the trans mission gears are sometimes injured by constant improper shifting of gears.
 A clear understanding of what hap pens in the process of gear shifting will enable the driver to master the process in very short time.
 The transmission is made up of a series of gears, mounted on the main shaft and the countershaft, with the idler gear mounted on the transmits sion case. The first speed, second speed and reverse combinations are simply three sets of reduction gears with various ratios, to give the motor greater leverage against the driving mechanism when required. ,,
 High speed in direct drive, which means that the propeller shaft re. wolves at the same rate of speed as the motor crankshaft. The various gears are brought into play by moving the gear shifting lever--to the proper positions.
 When the clutch pedal is pressed all the way down the power of the motor is disconnected from the transmission system, which releases the pressure of the gear teeth against each other and makes it possible to shift the gears easily.
 Also, when the gear shifting level is in neutral position the power is dis

HOW TO INCREASE
 LIFE OF YOUR TIRES

Dealers in tires are ready at any time to tell what not to do with tires, 0 prevent any harm coming to them, according to Harold S. Sykes, proprie- tor of the Flagstaff Vulcanizing Shop, but many of them fail to tell just what should be done in the preserva- tion of the life of tire.
 To give tire users just some idea of what should be done to preserve the tire, MT. Sykes has issued the fol- lowing admonitions to tire users:
 Go Slow
 Drive moderately. Speed is not es- sential and speedy driving over rough roads is terrific strain on tires. Speed on boulevards causes the tires to heat and shortens the life of the tire.
 Find the proper air pressure for the tires, and keep them inflated to that point; underinfiated tires soon become worthless.
 Drive carefully into parking spaces. Careless driving ruins the tire by run ing them against the pavement, cut ting them and causing weak spots.
 Proper Imitation
 Infiate tires in the morning. Al that time the tires are cool. Later in the day or after heavy travelling, the tires become heated and if inflated lose their shape and easily develop faults.
 Inspect the wheels to see that they run true. Wheels out of true quickly ruin tire. If the tires do not appea, to be giving the service take them to tire shop and have them inspect ed. Faulty tires should be immediate ly turned in for adjustment. If the fault is the wheels or lack of care this can be explained and remedied before the tire are useless.
 Avoid short brake stops. Short stops stops by use of brakes render tire useless. Stop by means of the throttle rather than the brake.
 In descending sharp grades use in termediate or low speed rather than brakes. The low speed will control the speed of the machine and will moi cause the wheels to grate along the road.
 By following out the simple rules of caring for tire, many miles car be added to it's life.

MOTORISTS SHOULD
 KEEP ENGINE CLEAN

Too frequently motorists are satas- fled to keep their engines free from carbon, but do not attempt to keep the exterior of their power plants clean. They should take lesson from the steam engineers who keep their machinery bright and shiny in addi- tion to removing all dirt. A motor car engine is exposed to more severe op- eration conditions than a steam en- zine. Dirt, road dust and mud mix with oil, forming gummy mass: And when this mixture of oil and dirt reaches working parts it has the effect of emery. It is detrimental to mag neto, distributor and carburetor oper- ation and also impairs the efficiency of the cooling system of the engine eventually.

TON MILE IS BASIS

The best unit for determining motor truck comparative values is the ton mile. This means simply the carry ing of one ton one mile. Thus, if you carry one ton five miles you get five ton miles. If you carry five tons one mile you get five ton miles. The ton mile unit in conjunction with costs, which the operator controls, gives the best basis for reaching conclusions in regard to the truck system.

London, July Dist. Three mines in
the Yorkshire District are flooded and
twelve others are likely TO be filled with
water in a day or two. Mr.. Lloyd George
announced today in the House OF Com
mons, as a result of she pumpmen'S
strike. Some of the miners, he said,
would be ruined and the Govt. was send
ing men from the fleet to pump out the
mines. Continuing, he said that the last
twenty-four houIs had Witnessed grave
aud unprecedented developments In the
miners strike. The Yorkshire miners
h d called out the 0umpmen and engin-
GERS, and many mines in the district
were suffering from the rising water
and were threatened with destruction.
A ffty-eight mines the necessary men
were at work, but in eighty mines pump
ping had stopped entirely. The mine
officials, he added, had continued pumping
at the mines after the men had left. The
Yorkshire coalfelds, the Premier said,
produced 35, 600, 600 tons a year, and
were the second largest in the United
Kingdom. The Govt. had to send a mes
sage to the Miners Federation, asking
what action it was prepared to take, add
ing that the Govt. was prepared to with
draw the men it had sent to replace the
the strikers on the mine pumps. as o
as the strikers returned to work, but that
until this happened, the Govt. would
take every means at it's disposal to save
the mines and afford protection to these
willing to work. The special commission
er sent there, Sir Eric Geddes, would, he
said, seek to coordinate all efforts in or
der to overcome the serious menace
threatening Yorkshire. The action Of
the miners in striking the Premier de-
clared, not only jeopardized their own
means of livelihood, but threatened
everyone in the districts. The strike is
generally considered as very serious, be-
cause the workers engaged in pumping
and other labour essentially to the safety
of the mines, have joined the strikers,

and told the chauffeur to take her to
Mount Vernon, giving the address Of
her sister.
The fugitive did not take especial
note Of the roundabout route the ma
