automobile industry was on practically 100 per cent war basis. Due to this fact passenger car production was slightly less than in 1917, although greater than in 1918. But manufac- turers of motor trucks were able to overcome this handicap of the early months and make possible a substan- tial increase for their product over all previous records.
 Nevertheless, during the 12 months its rapid advance having resulted in large part from the publicity given the wartime performances of the truck and onstratiOns made by the truck itself in commerce.

The latest thing in the way of Moon modern motor cars has arrived in Phoenix. It is called the Moon model 6-4S and is merely a new series ear with a few improvements over the Victory model. They can't hardly be called Improvements, but might be termed refinements.
 For instance the two cars look ex- actly the same, only the latest model has a wheel base four inches longer than the Victory model It also has a 20-gallon gas tank and a Continental motor of the 7R variety. rated as one of the supreme achievemtns of that make of motor.
 The 6-4S has Timken axles and bear ings throughout and carries a Delco ignition and lighting system. The up holstering which is planned from the viewpoint of durability and looks is a decded attraction.

HOT WEATHER DOES
 NOT INJURE TIRES
 CLAIM FACTORY MEN

A timely warning to autoists against reducing the air pressure in their tires during the hot summer weather is now particularly opportune. This fal- lacy is common among motorists who do not understand that radiation car ries off any surplus heat that might otherwise be dangerous to the life of a tire.
 Even during the terrific grind of the race track when tires undergo the most gruelling punishment, this prin ciple holds It is underinflation even during the hottest days, that ruins more tires than any other cause, ac- cording to experts of the Miller Rub- Der company at Akron, Ohio. The facts are that recommended air press ures are safe even in the summer.
 By reducing pressure, the increased fIexing of the tire merely creates the condition which the car owner wishes to guard against. The motorist can well afford the time needed to gauge the air pressure in his tires for the sake of greatly increased mileage.

This consisted of cows. pigs, sheep, milk, hay, grain, wood trees, oil, machinery, cotton and cotton pickers and general supplies for home and ranch.
 Until one has had a trailer on the job, ready for instant service, he does not realize the many uses to which it may be put to big advantage.

GASOLINE SAYING

'Of all the ways by which gasoline may be wasted, the most usual and the most considerable is that of running with an over-rich mixture" says A. J.

"Such a mixture admittedly gives better ac- celeration, but it's advantages are all on the debit side of the ledger from that point on.
