Slonaker. of the Albu- querque office, and the first ,connec tion is to be made with Clifton. Af- forwards a large radio outfit may be installed and connections made with other Government radio stations in Arizona and elsewhere. With ap- paratus now installed in MT. Swift's office, it is said one can listen in" distinctiyely on conversations on the Pacific coast.
 The Forest Service, recognizing the rracticability of the wireless telephone for communication in the National forest. especially for safe guarding against fire, purchased g. number Of the sets from the War Department after the war and in- stalled them in some Of the seven districts of the Forest Service. MT. Slonaker, telephone engineer of the Southwestern district, has been eX- perimenting for some weeks with the most modern apparatus and with
 
 pert from Clifton, Arizona, has final ly adjusted to a nicety the machines; brought to the Southwest.
 The wireless telephone set con- sists of two oblong boxes, the trans hitting instrument being about half the size of the receiving instrument Three for. volt batteries are used ln the transmitting phone. To each box a wire is attached with three eXten- sions. lnouthpiece, and two receiv- CTS on frame to fit over the air to which the telephonic wires are attach ed. If the operators wish to talk and listen at the same time they must turn on both the transmitting and the receiving batteries, otherwise the person speaking is not aware wheth- CT there is some one listening at the other end or not.

ARIZONA JOINS IN PROTEST
 ON JAPANESE PACT

Phoenix, Nov 25-Gov. Thomas E. Campbell last week telegrapned the state department protesting against any treaty with Japan which would give subjects of that country the pri- vilege of citizenship in the United States, it was announced today. His message was based on reports that such treaty was being considered.
 The message follows:
 v feel that I voice the general sen tinent of the people of Arizona when I offer protest against the execution of any treaty with Japan which would give the natives of that country the privilege of citizenship here. ! am confident that under no conditions would Japan attempt any conflict at arms with this nation and yet on the Pacific coast evry apparent progress is being made toward the conquest Of the agricultural valleys which are now filled by Orientals who virtually con irol the food supply of the coast. Very evidently something is behind this Hi. vement other than personal or group initiative. It would be well 1T further progress be stopped of the \ wedge that now is displacing Cauca, sian industry and that is creating ai.en control of foodstuffs wherever # becomes intrenched. I would have TO fear were the invaders really de sirous of assimilation. The contrary is the case There is no sympathy with American intitutions and there is absolute fealty to those of theil home land. mtermarriage between the two racial types is incredible.

OF INTEREST TO AuToMoBILlsTs

Modern Crank case cleaning service is something new being installed in local garages and service stations here, according to Mir G. c. Perkins Special Agent for the Standard Oil Company This it is stated. will be tho means of giving greater lubricat- ing efficiency to an oil, and thus pro duce a longer life for the automobile.
 Lubricating experts have proven that motor which is given "regul- ar bath" by means of some flushing agent, has longer life and produces more power and speed Motorists know that after a few weeks of driv ing the lubricating oil becomes dirty with carbon, road dust and fine part icles of metal, which circulate through the engine and cause unnecessary wear on bearing surfaces. Gasoline also escapes past the pistons and dil- utes the oil
 A new way to get rid of this dirty. diluted oil and put an engine in lrn& for better performance and longer life, is by crank case cleaning, and this should ke done with a thorOu@h flushing agent that does not contamin ate the flush oil.
 Severa3 local garagemen are giving careful attention to correct lubtica- ton. and the proper cleaning of cr2nk case and the filling. with the cCrre .: grade of oil are considered essential to this. This is why the local service men have installed crank case clean ing service in their business. The cleaning of crank cases is dirty job, but a small one, and realizing his, these live wire garages ant service stations have equipped their outfits to do this sort of work. Eff teen minutes time is all that is re quired to clean 8 crank case and this has been proven essential Q proper fabrication and a longer life for mot or cars.
 MT. Perkins, an authority on crank case service. states that all large and up-to-date garages and service st:.- tions on the Coast have installed this | modern service.
