PHOENIX TO HAVE PARKING CENTER
 RIGHT DOWN TOWN

Because of the general impression that parking on some of the downtown stalls is to be limited, if not actually prohibited due to the increasing traffic congestion, arrangements are being made by a Phoenix man to convert the old Central school lot into an auto parking lot where one may leave his car for an hour or a day, receive a claim check for it and return to ma his car safe and untagged.
 The large lot is to be cleared and cleaned immediately and is expected to be ready for occupancy by the first of the week. The motorist will be given claim check for his car which will practically eliminate the possibility of losing his car throuhg thievery.
 Another attractive feature is the fact that one might return for his machine after having left it for several hours without the dread of finding it bumped by the careless motorist or tagged by the traffic officer.
 This innovation in Phoenix will ap- peal particularly to the business man who drives to his place of business in the morning and wishes to park his car at a centrally located point and return at noon or the evening with free mind that his car has not either been stolen or damaged by another car. A man will be in charge of the lot at all times A charge of 20 cents is to be made for the parking of car for the day.

HARMON SPEEDSTER LATEST THING FUR
 OWNER WHO KNOWS

w. F. Gardner and company have just received circulars showing the de- sign of the new Marmon sport type roadster. Answering the demand of the man who wants a really high class different car for business and in timate social uses, and also the re- peated demands of Marmon dealers all over the country, the Nordyke and Marmon company have really ex- ceeded the wishes of all parties. build ing a car which more than satisfies what the Marmon clientele have pie tured in their mind
 Retaining the we'll known series 34 lines, this car has the long, low racy appearance which is invariably asso- ciated with speed The Marmon chassis is admirably adapted for the fitting of the speedster type of body There is a delightful sense of snug ness in the car. One sits low, with a comfortable roominess, and there is a sense of security when behind the wheel. With great abundance of power and speed, this model will provide an extraordinary high average in touring In short, the new series Marmon 34 roadster fulfi1ls the primary require ments desired in this type of car namely, distinctive appearance and speed; and in addition the well knowI Marmon easy riding qualities coupled with an excellence of mechanical con struction that insures the owner a Ions lived car.

NATIONAL BODY
 FAvORS TAKING
 CARE OF ROADS

NEW YORK, June 19.-Ample pro-
 lection of life and property and more
 stringent control of traffic to secure safety and added comfort, have be- come necessary on the more important national and state highway systems, is the belief of the American Automo- bile association, expressed in action taken at it's annual meeting just held in New York City. To its clubs throughout the country and to mem
 bers generally, the A. A. A. decided to recommend the establishment in their
 respective states of state constabulary
 or other satisfactory methods to pro
 vide daily and nightly patrol of the most important thoroughfares.
 Referring to the tendency in certain states to finance road programs en- tirely from the fees paid by motor car owners the users organization reit- erated its opposition to what it con- siders an illogical plan, and will urge everywhere the necessity for fair deal ing in matters affecting highways taxation It is the contention of the motorists that state systems should be built through general taxation, and with the registration and other auto mobile taxes reserved as a general
 rule for maintenance purposes.
 Since congress has not found time to answer the plea of the motorists for the acceptance of a single state registration in all other states for the entire twelve month, it was voted that renewed efforts be made to secure the passage of the Sweet-Pitman bills ! during the present year, so that only

The third essay is as follows:
 Shin bN- Truck: Good Road.

The key to the present problem of living costs is increased production. As prices are regulated by the supply and demand it would seem logical to believe that to increase production would be to decrease living costs. This is not true. however, unless this in crease is felt throughout the country unless the supply is generally greater. There must be d means of transport ing these products from the place of production to that of consumption. lf production is increased, transportation must be. It is evident that the rail- roads are burdened with their present business and are inadequate to handle greater production. The burden, there - fore falls on the truck.
 The railroads have sufficient trans continental and inter state commerce to keep them in operation without handling freight for short distances. .. These short hauls could more profi- tably be left to the truck.
 To ship by truck is more profitable than to ship by rail although it may cost as much or more per mile. It

one number plate would be required in 1921.
 In the belief that the construction of main highways is an economical pro- position at the present time. the meet ing decided to protest to the Inter state Commerce Commission, the Railway Executives association, and the American Railway association against the curtailment of cars for the shipment of materials and ma chinery necessary to highway work.
 The early completion of connecting links on main routes and the proper maintenance of roads already built, 1t is contended. will help to solve the present-day transportation problem.
 David Jameson of New Castle, Pa. was unanimously reelected president for his third successive term. These vice presidents were designated: Ralph w. Smith. Colorado; ?. J. Walker, California; Fl. J.

HARDING USED
 WESTCOTT I FOR
 CAMP PAICN TOUR
By S. M. RURKHEAD

There is a peculiar similarity be- tween failure and success-some people attribute it to fate, others to good judgment and a whole lot of us figure it out as just bull-headed good or bad luck
 When Senator Warren G. Harding started out on his recent presidential campaign, he picked out a Westcott larger six touring car in which to tour the country. The results of the Chi cago convention showed that Mir. Harding's success was due to the fact that his strength was of the enduring kind. In fact one might be pardoned in Hkening it to the world known slogan of the Westcott car, The car with a. longer life" for it was surely demonstrated that his packers were permanent packers and that during all the ebb and flow of the adherents of the various other candidates, Senator Harding's forces continually added new names and converts.
 The history of WeStcott service con- tains numerous chapters which thor oughly carry out the slogan, ''The car with a longer life.'
 Let me quote II. s. Caldwell of Union Springs, Ala I am sending to you several pictures of my car as it is to- day which should be of interest to you, as the car is one of your old models (1912) and is perhaps in better condi- ton after eight years hard service than any car that has ever lasted that long. It is really in excellent running condition right now, and I would not swap it for some of the new cars I see sold To say that this car has been giving satisfactory service would be putting it too mildly. It has simply gone far beyond my expectations. It has been in almost constant use since I bought it, and has been run on roads that W0lI16 have O11f a cheaper made car. The only time ] have ever been out of the use of it was for about two months past winter when I had the misfortune to have one of the cylinders freeze and burst. How ever, succeeded in finding a good sec ond-hand cylinder which worked all right, and now it is running as well as ever. I don't believe there is any other car in the world which would have given me the service that this car did under the same conditions"
 Columns of space might be filled with similar genuine testimonials of the sturdy and permanent endurance of the Westcott car. Let the average owner of an automobile go back in his mind over the years that have elapsed since he operated an automobile in 1912 and it is doubtful if very many can be found who are today praising and using the car that they were driv- ing in 1912. And when we stop to realize that in the purchase of a West colt car today they are practically as- sured a perfect and pleasurabfe ser vice for the coming eight years, it is little wonder that the Wescott line holds a place of supremacy as it does in the automobile world today.
 Beautiful new models of the West colt line are daily being shown and demonstrated at the salesrooms of tho Burkhead Motor company in Phoenix and the famous trade mark of the Westcott is becoming more and more in evidence on the roadways of tho great Southwest

.U.S.ARMY CONVOY
 .TO BE HERE SOON

Starting on June 14 from Washing ton, D. C., the motor transport corp of the United States army will drive q convey of trucks from there to Los Angeles California, over the Bank head National highway. This convoy is scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles on September IS, and will consist of eight Garfords. eight Packards and eight Whites.
 The object Of this convoy is to arouse public interest in the motor transport corp Of the United States army. and the dependability of motor trucks in cross country hauling.
 This convoy is scheduled to arrive in the following towns in Arizona:
 Douglas, August 2S,
 Bisbee, August 30,
 Benson, August 31.
 Tucson, September ].
 Phoenix. September .,
 Palo Verde, September 1,
 Agua Caliente, September 6.
 Welton, September &,
 Yuma, September g.
 The three trucks used in this con voy are what is known as class A United States army standard Gar lords, Packards and Whites being the only three trucks adopted by the United States government as a stan dard class A truck and it will be interesting to know the condition of these trucks on their arrival in Arizona after having passed through the south eastern and southern states. Of par ticular interest to Arizona truck users will be the condition of the convoy g pneumatic tires, as all trucks in this convoy are equipped with Giant pneu- matics.

KEEP SPRING CLIPS TIGHT

If any of your springs give way at the center polt hole, it is because the spring clips were not tight. Dealers and manufacturers will not replace springs broken at this point for this reason. The safe way is to draw the nuts up as close ass possible with a wrench big enough to make certain of their being tight. The clips should be watched and frightened often.
