FRE|GHT TIE UP
 SPURS ACTIVITY
 ON GOOD ROADS

WASHLNGTON, D. C.-The freight tie up as q result of the outlaw rail- way strike has resulted in another turn in the evolution of the highway as a national public utility and once more emphasized the necessity of construct ing a system of national highways with as little delay as possible.
 The federal highway council, a body formed for the specific purpose of de- veloping the construction and use of the public highway along national as well as state and county lines. took an immediate and active part in coopera- tion with various communities in nov ing freight by motor truck in congest- ed areas. The council was in tele- graphic communication with the lead ing centers throughout the country at all times during the tense period.
 During the unauthorized strike Gov. John J. CornWen of West Virginia was in Washington and wanted to get back to Charleston. The governor was informed that the strike made the de- parture of trains uncertain so at once he made arrang gements to go via the public highway and automobile
 West Virginia next fall will vote on a constitutional amendment that will make possible the bonding of the state to the extent of s50,00O.0O0 for the building of good roads This is Gov ernor CornwelFs proposition. He wants his state to have as complete a system Of aruculated roads as any other. That's why he sets an example whenever he can to show his people the value of good roads.
 "If we had in this country a system of good roads covering every state, railroad strikes would have no ter TOTS for us," said the governor. F'We would not then be dependent upon the Whims of a few men. And it is com ing. Eventually we shall have high ways over which we can haul to mar kets all of our farm products. Te de- velopment of motor trucks for heavy hauling is a matter of only a short time, and I am confident that within a decade we shall have a highway sys- tenn that will make us virtually inde- pendent of the railroads in emergen- cies. Today, however. a railroad strike is a very serious matter Tn West Vir- ginia for instance. there are sections inside of a week or ten days will be en- tirely out of food supplies if the rail- road strike should continue. Good roads draining every community, large or small. would make such a situation inpossibIe.''
 Speaking in support of the proposed national highway act, now pending 1T congress. Senator Townsend. chairman of the senate committee on post offices and post roads. said in reference to the critical situation. If you want to pro- mote general prosperity. protec against railroad strikes, and promot' the general welfare you will favor suct a system a ] propose

Organization is just as essential to the efficient operation of a group of trucks a it is to any other phase of business activity. Only by means of an organization can fleet owner or manager direct the operation of his trucks intelligently and economically
 The personnel of fleet organization is divided into two groups, one Of which is the maintenance division, and the other the operating division. In some of the larger fleet organizations, an inspection division has separate identity, but in the smaller ones this service is directed by the maintenance division, or is performed by the truck manufacturer himself.
 The maintenance division should be headed by a superintendent who Is practical mechanic. He may have as many assistant mechanics as is neces- sary to maintain the fleet in good me chanicaI condition. Washers and greasers are included in his depart ment, and work according a well planned schedule.

OVERLANDS WIN ON
 BIG ECONOMY RUN

Tn the annual 355-mile Los Angeles Yosemite economy run, concluded on May 9th,' the OYerlands on triplex springs romped over the tape, winning three of the six cups offered.
 The performance of these Overland cars pitted against cars listing as high as s5,000 establishes a record almost without precedent and makes good all Overland claims for the economy and the stamina of this new light weight car.
 The Los Angeles Yosemite run is one of the most important automobile events on the Pacific coast. The route offers almost every possible condition encountered in trans continental driv- ing, including 100 miles of~perplexing mountain travel.
 But here is how the Overland fin ished All the cars in the economy run had to be driven by their owners.
 Tn class one, for cars with list price of S1200 and under. first prize was won by the Overland driven by its owner Henry Anon. This car attained an average of 35.4 miles to the gallon for the entire 355mile run. including 100 miles in the mountains.
 In class two, an Overland Sedan piloted by Fred Costa, finished an easy first, covering the entire distance with an average gas mileage of 27.6 miles to the gallon.
 Tn the grand sweepstakes which in cluded the gas mileage on a selected two-mile course, the Overland entries carried off the first and second prizes. This feat was repeated in winning the Baker economy cup which was award ed for the best economy record in the use of oil, gas and water In this event the Overland cars finished in one, two. three order.
 The Overland was not only the low est priced car entered in the 355-mile economy run but it developed the highest record for all around perform ance. The road had been opened by the rangers but in the Chinquapin dis trict the snow was piled on either side of the road to a height of six feet. The light Overlands, cushioned from road shock and wear by TripleX springs finished the run in perfect mechanical condition.

EVIDENTLY
 HAD 4 GOOD TIME
 ON COAST JOURNEY

Roads that were fair, hail, rain and just lots" of sunshine-these, in brief. were some of the conditions encount- cred in a rush trip to Los Angeles made by Maxwell P. Barret of Barret and Pottberg, Inc, Studebaker distrib- utors in this locality. Accompanying MT. Barret was George D. Keller, re- presentative of the Studebal1er factory branch at Los Angeles. They returned to Phoenix early this week.
 According to Mir. Barret the roads were not nearly so bad as he had an ticipated. The trip was made by way of Parker cutoff and Needles. The hardest going was strip of about eight miles this side of Parker through sand. The trip over was made in Studebaker special six and the return in a new Studebaker big six.
 While on the coast MT. Barret at tended a meeting at the Los Angeles factory branch and participated in the opening of the new Studebaker build ing on Figueroa street, Los Angeles. Commenting on the trip, Mir. Barret said:
 We had a little of everything on this jaunt. We were just leaving Phoenix when that hail storm broke and ran into a local garage for shelter until it was over. It rained twice quite hard before we stopped for the night at Salome. The next night we stopped db LQ01OW. we LOOh our IlIne ana made the trip just as comfortable as possible for ourselves. There had evil dently been hard rains all along the desert for we entcountered numerous cross washes and some places where the road had been recently washed away. There was nothing, however, that caused us the slightest difficulty, merely slowed down out time some what
 "On account of the rain the weather was perfectly delightful going over. Returning, it was quite hot and we took advantage of the moonlight and did most of our running by night which was very pleasant.
 How did the car behave2"
 ''Well, brother, I'd give lot if every person who is in the market for an automobile could have been with us on that trip. It was a revelation even to me. We had not the faintest sugges- tion of trouble all the way over and back. It is no wonder that the stage lines and ranchers are all so keen for Studebakers. It's surely a wonderful carve admit it.
 While in Los Angeles I was able to obtain an increased allotment of cars for the Salt River valley section and with the improvement in the freight situation, we are able to Assure very early deliveries

COMMONWEALTH
 MAKES RECORD
 USING WATT ER

Tn addition to it's economy of gaso- line and oil, the new Commonwealth Four Forty has established an enviable economy record for water consump- ton. A trip of 797 miles was recently made with a Commonwealth, over mountain and desert trails with only one filling of the radiator. This is only another instance of the features which are compellingly stamping the Commonwealth ''The Car with the Foundation.'
 Beauty, strength and endurance are pertinent values in a car and these, coupled with economy of operation, leave nothing to be desired for dis eliminating motorists. That the Four Forty reflects all of the desirable quail ities has been eloquently attested to by every known test that this car has been subjected to.
 The George H. Reuben Auto com pany at 227 N. Central avenue, have been holding a reception these last three evenings for a host of Common wealth admirers. The wonderful repu- tation of the Four-F Forty which pre- ceded it's arrival here, and it's own. cap tivating features, insure its enthusi astic acceptance among car buyers who appreciate beauty, efficiency and econ omy in a reasonably priced car.

was the equivalent of s1 per ton mile This is considered extremely high in face of the rate of 35 to 40 cents per ton, paid in the city.
 That the run was easily negotiated, and all doubts enthusiastically settled lis best evidenced by Devine's own words:
 "You can tell the world for me that the Fageol literally seemed to climb the side of the mountain without quiver. Whenever it became necessary to use the extreme sixth low gear, nothing could stop it's progress. There was not the slightest perceptible strain on the motor. It seemed to simply purr, while the rear wheels merely crawIed up a 26 per cent climb.
 When the mine was reached. I placed my hand on the radiator and it was cool, and that's no bunk I would have gambled that it could not have been done"
 Devine immediately wrote a check for the price of the truck and added that he would sign an affidavit to the effect of the Fageois performance.

A step forward in the delivery of au tomob5ls tire service has been made by the John P. Coates Tires House of this city. who are delivering to their patrons what they call the most up to- date tire service yet introduced in this city.
 The entire idea is to save money for the automobile owner. especially the company which owns a large fleet of trucks and which has no way to put in a tire cost accounting system. The Coates people have established a ser vice for the operators Of truck fleets which enables every machine to be driven onto the floor of the Coates Tire House for a weekly inspection. A card is kept on every car, showing the result of each weekly inspection. At the end of the week a copy of the card is mailed to the owner showing him exactly the condition of the tires on every machine.
 A tire man direct from the Goodyear school is employed by Coates. This man carefully goes over each tire and makes nota tionS as to their condition If the wheels are out of alignment this fact is noted. If there is fender dragging, or a tire has been cut, or any of the thousand one things which may happen to q tire has taken place, this fact is noted on the card.
 This enables the car owner to take steps at once to have the defects reme- died rather than run the tire until it is hopelessly ruined. In this manner it is the claim of Coates. he can save any car operator approximately twenty five per cent on his tire bills.
 In order that tbe people of Phoenix may be thoroughly acquainted with the system. Mir. Coates has had a motion picture taken of the entire procedure. This picture is being shown at the Co., lumoia theater this week. It is a con- vincing argument in favor of having one's tires inspected weekly. It plainly

{. W. COTTON CO.
 GROWS RAPIDLY

The rapid growth of the Southwest Cotton company a subsidiary of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company, op- erating extensive cotton plantations in the Salt River valley of Arizona. near Phoenix, is indicated in it's recent in- crease in capitalization from $5,0OO. 900 to $15,0O0 900. The original capitaliza- tion figures in 1917 were s1.O0O, ,0OO The present tripling of capital has been occasioned by the purchase of new lands to be placed under cultiva- ton soon, the erection of additional cotton gins and oil mills, and the financing of thousands of acres being cultivated by individual growers. The long staple cotton grown for use in the manufa cture of Goodyear tires has been pronounced by recognized experts to be even finer than the Egyptian cotton from which it has been de- VelOped

More for the sake of settling a dis pute and proving that the F'ageol could accomplish what many trucks had failed to do. Frank Free of the Fergu- son -Keeler company, drove a 21z ton F'ageo1 over what is considered the most grueIIing grind in the state; de- 1ivered three and one-half tons of ma chinery to the White Metal mine, with out boiling the water in the radiator and won his wager.
 It all came about when Free learned of the 22-nile mountain grade which leads from Ray Junction to the White Metal Mine company of Pioneer and which had defied every trucks attempt to negotiate the grind without spin ming the flywheeP or letting the clutch slip and reach the end with a practi ca1ly cool radiator.
 Arrangements were immediately made with Senator J. c. Devine, man ager of the mine for FageOl demon stration.
 You're simply wasting your time and mine" objected Devine, for it can not be done"
 Free was set in his determination
