TONS IF LEATHER l
 RUSHED ID SHIPS !
 BY PIERCE TRUCKS
Four Five-tonners Work
 Night and Day to Trans
 port Material from Phila-
 delphia to New York. I

Four five ton Pierce Arrow trucks, since the close of the war, have speed ed the delivery to shipside of hundreds. of tons of sole leather, destined to shoe thousands of French and Belgian peo- pie The trucks. operated by Frederick Phillips of Philadelphia, rushed the. hides from that city to New York on short notice when no time could be lost st
 Three times a week the fleet of four trucks, 17-foot chassis units with big enclosed freight bodies, would haul better than 20 tons of the precious hides over the 10S-mile route.
 Phillips Specials as the big cham pagne trucks are called, are well known on tn Philadelphia New York road. Like clockwork, the trucks run on reg ular schedule = to New York one day, to Philadelphia the next.
 Besides leather. the trucks carry chemical. rubber. machinery parts and merchandise. Although MT. Phillips charges 40 cents less than the regular railroad express rates for speedy ser vice, the trucks are operated so eco- nomicalIy that he says the earnings of each wiped out the original cost in. a years time.
 We must keep them busy, that's all says MT. Phillips. Take No. l truck, for instance. That trucks engine has not stopped more than 4 hours da2 since 1t was purchased in May. 1918 It never has missed it's daily trip be- tween New York and Philadelphia The same is true of the other trucks purchased since then. They all keeI plugging. The whole fleet did not cost -s200 in repairs during the year"

EXPLAINS METHOD OF. USING HYDROMETER IN
 TESTING IF BATTERY

Many motorists know that it is nec- essary to use a hydrometer syringe to test storage battery, but they do not always know just how to use it. It is not hard to learn and it is really worth while if a man would save him self from a battery repair bill.
 Through the courtesy of MT. E. L. Gielow. manager of the local Willard Storage Battery station we are able to publish the instructions on the use of a hydrometer as sent out by the Willard Storage Battery company.
 The hydrometer has a scale gradu- ation in the upper part of the tube ranging from 1.150 to 1900 with .005 graduations and reads correctly at 70 degrees fahrenheit. A fully charged cell should read about 1.2S0 and a completely discharged cell should read. about 1150 specific gravity, both of which are marked by a red line on the scale.
 The Hydrometer test should be made before distilled water is added. If dis titled water is added and then the test is made, the reading will not be correst
 Make the test as follows:
 l. Remove vent plug from top Of cell
 ?. Force the air out of the hydro meter syringe by squeezing the rub Der bulb.
 3. Insert rubber tube through the vent plug hole into the electrolyte, or battery solution.
 4. Release the bulb and draw up sufficient electrolyte into the glass tube to float the hydrometer
 ,. See that the hydrometer floats freely, touching neither top, bottom or sides.
 6. Move the hydrometer syringe so that the level of the elecrolyte in the glass tube is on the level of the eye.
 :. Read the point on the hydrometer scale which appears level with the top of the electrolyte.
 S. Then force the electrolyte back into the cell from which it was re- moved.
 It is advisable to rinse out the hy- drometer syringe with water as the electrolyte will in time destroy the | containing case.
 In some cars the battery is so placed that it is difficult or impossible to hold the syringe in an upright position over the battery. Under such circumStan- | ces pinch the rubber tube with the | left hand so that tn battery solution will not run out of the hydrometer. Then lift the hydrometer out and away i from the car and hold it upright to | take the reading. Be careful not to release the rubber tube until it is again placed over the hole in the top | of the cell.
 "We will be glad at any time" said MT. Gielow of the Willard Service

0NE IN EVERY 18
 PERSONS IN U. ].
 HAS \ MOTOR GAR

ITO obtain an inkling of the import ant part the automobile plays in both the social and business life of the United States, it is only necessary to compare the number of cars with the total population of the four prin- cipal countries of the world" said George H. Reuben of the Reuben Auto Company, local Kissel distributors
 Tn the United Staees there is one automobile to every IS persons; in Great Britain one car to every 225 persons: in France one car to every 400 people; and Italy and Belgium one to every $40 people or taking all the cars in the four European countries named above, there was at the begin ming of the war total of 350.OO0 motor vehicles or one to every 353 persons. This is all the more remarkable when you consider that the population of the United States at that time was 110,000,000 as compared to total for eign population of 127.000,000 people.
 ITO me one of the main reasons why the automobile has become more popu- lar with a large and more diversified class or people Tn the CnlteQ states is because the European manufac- turers before the war regarded the motor car as luxury and consequent | ly designed their models from that l standpoint On the other hand. the American manufacturer has always regarded the automobile as 8 utility 1 and consequently designed and built | his products accordingly.
 1 Naturally an automobile built for | a definite purpose has a greater mar ] ket and therefore greater distribu- l ton and while the American manufac- ! turer held to the principle that ht was manufacturing passenger cal and not pleasure car, none the less l he has made a product just as lux urious from a comfort and convenience ! standpoint as the cars abroad There | is no automobile made that has more downright comfort that really rest! it's occupants, than the motor car mad,
 in the U. s. A.
 By having his fingers on the puls'
 of the nation, the American manufac turer knows what owners use thei cars for, enabling him to build il
 those features that from mechanica
 and body building standpoint, mak

WIDE PUBLICITY GIVEN PHOENIX
 BY GOODYEAR CO.

The high degree of perfection which has been attained in the development of the airplane has permitted its adap- tation to many usages, all of which have followed it's wonderful accomoda- ton to the business of making war In southern California recently motorcycle cop chasing an automobile speed demon, had his mount sudden ly fail him near an airplane flying school. Having had experience as a flier with our forces in France he borrowed plane and resumed his pur- suit of the speeder After. a chase lasting some 30 minutes he overlook the lawbreaker, flagged him and took him into custody.
 It has remained for the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company. however, to compel an airplane to make itself use full in the matter of growing cotton. A plane has just been put into com mission at. the head offices of that company's cotton plantations. at Phoenix. to enable the overseers to keep in closer touch with actual farm ing operations in the plantations.
 In the airplane the manager of the two plantations, which are situated about 40 miles apart, each about 20 miles from the city, can reach either plantation in l5 minutes. Formerly it required nearly an hour to reach them, because of the adverse road conditions prevailing.
 The plane is in charge of It. o. r. Johnson, @ Goodyear employee who became an 'ace' with our flying forces in France. his operations having been chiefly in and around Cambrai and Amiens
 This new method of permitting quick personal oversight of cotton growing operations has many advantages over the former method of transportation by automobile. Recently a complete in- spection of the 35,000 acres contained in both plantations, was effected in less than one and one half hour.
 The Goodyear plantations are To- cated in the Salt River Valley. the cotton grown in this valley is of a su- perior quality. During the war much Of the cotton from this section was used in making wings for airplanes although the greater portion of it found it's way into automobile tires.

DRESSINGS FUR AUTO
 T0PS HAVE MANY USES

The selection of a dependable dress ing for auto tops is always an impor- tant matter. Care and discrimination are necessary to prevent the unscrupu- lous dealer from foisting upon an inno- cent buyer some of the noxious eoncoc- tions that infest the market.
 A dependable dressing is one that waterproofs, preserves and renovates. at the same time producing a lasting, brilliant finish. There are many dressings that give a temporary good appearance, but they are useless as a preservative against weather effects. They are, therefore, to be determinedly avoided.
 It is surprising how quickly even tops of the best fabrics will deterior-
Arizona republican., 1919-08-10

ate under the destructive influences of weather wear. The use of a water proofing and preserving dressing is thus made a necessity.
 It is a mistake to suppose that an auto top will give the same service without care as with care. All tops, regardless of fabric, should be cleaned and treated with a good dressing i'm mediately upon the first sign of weather wear. Rain is particularly destructive to all auto tops, and a leaky top is an abomination. The top must be always impervious to rain seepage. and this can only be had by using dressing that waterproofs and makes the top tight.
