 AUBURN? QUESTION
 BOTHERS AUTO MEN

Automobile TOW is vitally interested in a rumor that is going the rounds to the effect that one of the largest auto mobile companies here has secured the Auburn agency and within a short time will announce that fact.
 It has long been a subject of conjec- ture as to why the Auburn Beauty six, as it is best known, has not been sold in Arizona, for it is one Of the old-line automobiles that bears an excellent reputation, and in the east and middle west as well as the Pacific coast occu- pies place in the automobile world as secure as that of Ford
 The Auburn is a beautiful car, fin iShed in an assortment of colOrs, and includes many tried and true mechan- teal units that are used only in the best cars. The specifications include a special Red Seal Continental motor. known as the FIR, which already is granted to be the pest Continental motor ever design. A heavy torque ar msupporting the rear axle makes it particularly good for Arizona in this respect. It is a heavy framed car and has record for extremely easy riding The weight is about 2,S00 pounds.

LIBERTY SIX ID BE SOLD HERE BY
 JULIAN HOLMES

And now comes the announcement of the Liberty six, and with no lesser . person than Julian Holmes behind it, too. That combination has been a long time getting together, but at last Holmes, who is one of the best known automobile men in the city, has announced his choice of cars.
 Holmes has been in the automobile business in Phoenix for six years. On the first of the year he severed his connection with the Reuben Auto com pany, with which organization he was sales manager. Since that time he has been taking his time in selecting a car which could be sold by the Holmes Motor Sales company, of which he is the head.
 The Liberty six, equipped with the famous Liberty motor, is his choice. At the present time the headquarters of the Holmes Motor Sales company is at PAT North First street.
 A short time ago Holmes brought the first Liberty 10 Phoenix, intending to keep it as a demonstration. He had had 1t here but a short time when Angus Cashion, wealthy land owner, became interested in it and talked Holmes out of the car. Thus the honor of owning the first Liberty has gone to one of the best-knOwn men in the state. This in view of the fact that Cashion has always been in the habit of owning and driving a heavy, expen- sive car
 The Liberty motor, which is made by the Wisconsin Motor works, was designed by the Liberty engineers. The entire plant of the Wisconsin Motor works is devoted to the turning out of the Liberty motor. They formerly made the Stutz motor.
 According to Holmes, it is the finest piece of motor mechanism yet brought to this city. The motor is a four bearing crankshaft affair, powerful and flexible.
 There are three carloads of the Lib crtys en route to Phoenix. They left Detroit, where they are made, some time ago, and should be in Phoenix within a few days.

WHERE'S THE FUN IN CAMPING AUTOMOBUMMING-ATI TIP
 YOU GET IT READY MADE

There are motor camp kits that are a delight to the eye. Cases and trunks with neat compartments and nicely assorted ware of aluminium or enarn- eled metal.
 Much cheaper and perhaps more serviceable is a case of pine lumber made to fit the running board of the car. Built of half-inch stuff, with inch material for ends and bottom. Put on the cover with hinges and hasps which lock down. Divide into two or three compartments. Have one or more of the compartments lined with tin. if you will, but the box may be lined with heavy paper each time you go on a trip. Put two holes through the bottom to correspond with holes in the running board and fasten in place with bolts with wing nuts, lor easy removal. Into one compart- ment can go the food. into another the dishes and cooking utensils and into the third, if there are three, extra clothing. Between this case and the side Of the car will lay fish poles. short tent poles, if you carry them, and sundry small articles, and on top of it the shelter canvas can be strapped.
 There are wire grills with pointed legs to be showed into the ground to

OLD DODGE GAR |S
 STILL IN THE RING

r. F. Larrabee. an official of the Denver Towel Supply company. owns the oldest Dodge Brothers motor car in Denver-its age was five years De- cember 10-but he still drives it and gets thorough satisfaction from its use. On the strength of this service, in fact, he has just purchased a business car of the same make to meet the grow ing demands of his business.
 old 13" first saw considerable use at the hand of Dodge Brothers repre- sentative in Denver and was then sold to it's present owner.
 The nature of the service this car has given is indicated by an excerpt from a letter written by MT. Larrabee: Tt is running as well today as it was when We bought it. You will be inter ested to know that on a recent trip to Brownville, Tex, we drove over a 30- mile stretch of shifting sand in three hours and 45 minutes, beating the eX- isting record by 30 minutes, according to local inhabitants. On account of the heat, the drive was made at night, with the tires deflated to 30 pounds.
 Tt is needless to say that our Selec- tion of a Dodge Brothers business car was based upon the performance of old 13'''.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May s. Especial. )-Issuing a call for the ob- servance of Good Roads Sunday, May Is, in connection with National Ship byTruck- Good Roads Week, May IT. p, the committee in charge of arrange ments for the week have addressed a letter to clergymen of every denomina- ton inviting their attention to the ire lation' between good roads and right living and good roads and Christian progress. D
 Stressing the point that the early construction of better highways will prove one of the quickest means of facilitating production. the call says:
 ''The purpose is to fix in the heart of citizens the conviction that the next step to be taken for the welfare of the community, the nation and the world is immediately to improve the high ways and to inaugurate measures whereby every mile of road bed in the United States may be hard surfaced as soon as the combined forces of counties, states, and the federal government can secure this result"
 Calling attention to the urgent need of increased transportation facilities, the call continues:
 '''The waterways and railways can no must be moved.
 Daily six car loads of freight are offered for shipment in five cars that are available for this purpose.
 City dwellers cannot continue to pay the present prices of foodstuffs. A na- tional factor in these excessive costs is the haul from the farm to the town over primitive roads. The human fam fly cannot live on the present annual supply. If production is to be in creased. the farmers life must be made Nothing will produce this result as surely as modern highways"
 National Good Roads Sunday, ob served by pastors and congregations in churches throughout the country. May Is, is only one of the methods employed by the campaign committee to arouse regarding the improved highways and highway transportation.

COLUMBIA WAS
 ONCE 4 DREAM
 NOW 4 REALTY

Four years ago merely an idea, to- day one of the leading producers in the automotive industry-that in brief is the history of the Columbia Motors company" said M. L. Burkhead of the Burkhead Motor company, local dis tributors of the Columbia six
 "In that short space of time" con- tinued Mir Burkhead, the Columbia company has become an 'old-timer' in the industry. In this country and Can ada il has an organization of more than a thousand distributors and dealers The Columbia is seen on the streets of every town and city, as well as on the farm.
 That the company has built endur- ingly is shown by its far-flung export business. Columbia cars are seen on the highways of all the great foreign nations. such as England, France and Italy The American traveller will find the Columbia in Norway. Sweden and Denmark, as well as Holland and Bel gium.
 The Land of the Rising Sun has it's share of Columbias. It is found in such out-oI- the-Way places as Guatemala, Java, the Malay States, Mesopotamia. Siam. Straits Settlements and Egypr.
 New Zealand and Australia have well established Columbia distribution points. It has been placed in all the pflnclpaI south American countries Argentine, Chile, Peru. Brazil. Panama and Urugay. It is well known in In dia and all the principal South African countries.
 The rise of the Columbia and it's firm establishment in a fixed and high place in the automotive industry" con cluded Mir. Burkhead, lis only another proof of the high organization and ex- ecutive ability Of the American busi- ness man. The Columbia company was fortunate enough to have been formed and developed by men who had spent all their business lives in the auto mobile industry"

TRACTOR |S NJ EXPERIMENT NOW

The tractor is no longer an experi- ment, nor is there any question of it's paramount importance in the world wide agricultural development which is now in full swing, says Sid Lambert. Implement company, distributors of the Cletrac tank type tractor.
 Presidents, statesmen, economists and agricultural advisors are all bend ing their energies toward greater and ever greater food production. Hungry humanity demands more food and the farmers who hear the call must have more economical and dependable farm power.
 Through their farmers. whole na- tions are looking to the tractor to helc produce more food, knowing that the tractor, better than any other agency, can bring about this result. Tractor interest, therefore, is fast forging to the front in the minds of the leaders in every community
 The farm tractor increases the worlds food supply in two ways: First, it releases more land for effective cul- tivation: and second, it increases the yield per acre.
 Tractor titled fields are more pro- ductive because they are better plowed. seeded and harvested Investigation by the United States department of agri- culture has established the fact that each horse or mule which the farmer keeps eats up the yield of five acres of his land every year.

FIRE HASN'T STOPPED
 MESA MAXWELL AGENT

Mesa is already taking steps to re- pair the severe setback that is auto mobile business received when tho Gem City Garage was so thoroughly destroyed by fire last week, states J. Paul Mosseaux, manager of the Cen tral Arizona Auto company, Chalmers and Maxwell dealers who were heavy losers in the fire.
 Although some forty-five cars were destroyed in the 30-minute blaze" said MT. MosseauX, i've were the largest losers in that we lost nine cars but the saddest feature was the fact that three of the number were Postwar Max wells that had not been delivered to waiting customers. With deliveries growing fewer and our Maxwell de mand constantly increasing this loss was unfortunate in that immediate delivery can now be made for a stil more limited period
 The fire has not disrupted our sell ing as is shown by the fact that we have taken four orders for Postwar Maxwells since the fire and are mak- ing delivery this week.

 'ln this manner owners and oper- ators will be given an opportunity to learn moro about their tractors than they can by merely operating them. We believe it will serve to eliminate breakdowns and aid in their fixing if such do happen during the busy sea- son.
 Invitations have been extended to a large nUVIber of people interested in tractors, and the first attendance was gratifying to the distributors for the Cletrac tank type tractor, the originat- ors of the idea.

There are more elaborate camp stoves which fold compact1y. \ sheet of boiler iron about 14X20 inches smokes the dishes less than the wire grill and proves about as efficient as the folding stove. Get t just heavy enough to be firm under the weight of the cooking dishes. Put half-fnch hole in each corner.

Your stove. when you are travelling, will lie under the mat in the tonneau of the car.
 It's always well leaving a camp site where kindling is plentiful, to take a little along for the next stop. Some times the next stop is late, the fuel is hard to find in the gathering darkness and quick supper is dependent on a quick fire. If you're just going out from home for a day in the country and a dinner in the open, take along some fuel and be independent. Also take can of water. Then you may not have to pass up the prettiest camp spot of the day because of lack Of either.

PORCUP|NE BOOT
 AIDS MOTORISTS

The improvement in tires during the last few years, especially since the in troduction of the cord tire, and the corresponding improvement in auto mobile construction as to the balance and lighter weight has resulted in mileage records of tires, becoming so big and so common that they cease to cause comment any more.
 The Auto Boot Manufacturing com pany of California has introduced a new one. They are distributors in the southwest for the Porcupine blowout boot, a new type of blowout hoot hay ing a back studded with sharp quills that imbed themselves in the tire, hold ing the boot in place and preventing bulging or chaffing. It is declared that this creates a permanent repair and that the tire has just as many miles left as were there previous to the blow-ou
 To be able to back up this claim with actual records the Auto Boot company is gathing data on the per formance of tires that have been re- paired with Porcupine boots.

NEW HAYNES MAKES
 HIGHWAYS POPULAR

The call of the open highways has seized the American motoring public with an enthusiasm that has not been felt for several years. The desire of all is to get out into the big open country. Happily, coincide1t with this desire, the new Haynes touring car is making it's appearance, equipped and appointed in the most modern methods to. fill the exacting wants of motor iSts.
 Powerful as to motor. graceful in every beautifully straight line, rugged in mechanism and with solid comfort in the deep seats of gen uine leather, this nfgnly advanced type of the "open model' is winning an instant and lasting favor in the hearts of automobile eplcures.
 Nothing is lacking that might add to the comfort of the seven passen- gers on a holiday frolic or on an extended transcontinental tour. Be- sides the pocket in each door and two other carrying spaces in the tonneau there is a spacious compartment in the. rear cowl for 9 thermos bottle, or other luggage. The long wheel base and the Haynes scientific balance" add to travel ease. The auxiliary seats may be brought instantly into use or folded compactly away. The imposing radiator and the naughty arch of the broad. narrowing hood en- nance the cars beauty.
 Ease of operation and control is one of the many outstanding features of the Haynes. The operating levers and controls are handily placed and re- spond smoothly and easily to light pressure. This is one of the reasons why so many women drive their own Haynes cars. The phenomenal fIexi- bility of the famous light six and light twelve motors obviateS the neces- sity of frequent gear shifting on crowded thoroughfares or in hilly
