RUDOLPH WILL BE
 SPOKETITE AGENT

Ed Rudolph has been appointed the official service station for the Wood tite Laboratories company. This com pany manufactures a compound used on automobile wheels and bodies that prevents their loosening at the joints and in case where they have already become loose, the spoketite perma- nently draws the joints together, thus doing away with all squeaks and pre- venting breakdowns which would otherwise be the result.
 During the dry seasons wooden wheels will become thoroughly dried out and brittle. This causes q very annoying squeak and cracking sound. This, if left alone, will in a short time and under undue strain cause the wheels to give way with a possibility of a serious mishap to the passengers.
 Spoketite is easily applied at a small cost per wheel and all fear of acci- dents may be dispelled from the car owners mind.
 Already the demand for spoketite has been so great that the early allot- ment for this territory has been more than doubled.

like curves and some of the more snake-lil1e treachery of the fordS but the bridge estimates ran so high that it was seen that the route was inn practical.
 It was then that the state highway engineer told his locating forces to take a ramble over the whole surrounding country and not to come back until they had located a more feasible rout- ing. A thorough reconnaissance of the entire region was made and it was seen that if a bridge site could be se- cured over the Cienega river a splendid location could be made many miles south of the old road; very little ex- cavation would be necessary. the bridge expense would be much less and the road surfacing material much bet ter. The outcome was that this route was selected and that work is now pro- gressing on a highway which for a large part of the way takes it's course as straight as the crow flies.
 The location work was under the i'm mediate direction of W. W. Van Frank and under the general direction of c. c. Small, chief locating engineer of the state highway department.
 As fast as the plans and specified tions necessary for federal aid could be prepared this work has been let by contract with indications that the job will be complete on or about the

The Vail Benson highway as it is known in Pima county, or the Benson Vail road as it is known in Cochise county, is a demonstration of the old mathema tical axiom that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. It reduces the distance between Tucson, the county seat of Pima county, and Tombstone, the county seat of Cochise county, by ten miles
 The map of most Arizona roads looks more like a snake than a straight rod, and road engineers seem ingly take great delight in seeing just how many twists and turns they can get in a mile. This was the Klnd of road between Vail and Benson which Tom Maddock, state engineer, found when he took office Leaving the Borderland highway at Vail it dipped into the .treacherous Pantana wash, and 'crawled it's way up the other side over a waste of rocks. then dropped again into the Agua Verde wash, ex- ceptionally dangerous in fIood time, and following this valley, crossed and recrossed the channel some ten times in a distance of four miles.

 At this writing one four mile sec tion is finished and another seven mil e unit is under construction, both sec tions having been contracted to Good man and Merrill. In addition con tract has been let to English and Pierce at Yuma for the construction of a unique bridge which will span the beautiful Cienega river and the tracks of the Southern Pacific railroad near Irene. This bridge will be of the two ribbed arch type, the main arch being 146 feet between piers. Owing to sudden flushes in. the stream un- usual problems are presented in the erection of the false work. This will be met by the erection of two frame towers which will support the false work which will be carried on bow string truss we'll above high water. The remainder of the bridge, including the approach over the railroad is of the usual state standard reinforced con- crete girder type.

MAKING SILK STOCKINGS LAST

One of the French proverbs is No economies are small:" and the profes- sional stocking mender's job is evil dence of thrift as understood hy the Parisienne. Here" said one of the craft "are 30 pairs Of silk stockings which have been through my hands more times than I can count, and look at them.
 They were patched and darncd till there was little of the original left. But when on with the shoes they still make an effect Before the war ma dame paid three haIf-pence pair to her mendcr and furnished the thread Now she gives pence and pence and expects miracles of endurance from the fragile web.
 Where the mendere formerly spent 10 minutes on some of these stockings she now must devote an hour to some of them. It is difficult to see how ! these meuderS make d living But the motto of the French woman is: Throw nothing away" and she lives up to 1t. At present prices the American silk stocking weaver should take heed.
