EDITORS LEARN ART
 IF TIRE BUILDING
 AT GOODYEAR PLANT

More than a hundred newspaper euI- tors and proprietors, representing the Southern California Editorial associa- tion, at it's recent annual convention in Los Angeles. recently enjoyed the dis tinction of being the first large body of visitors to make an official tour of the new rubber works and cotton mill of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber com pany of California.
 The visit of the editors to the tire factory was part of a rapid survey of the city arranged by the chamber of commerce. Furniture making and mo- tion picture production were the other prominent industries of the Southern California metropolis at which the scribes and moulders of public opinion were given a comprehensive glimpse in a tour that consumed practically one third of the entier convention program.
 Following an inspection of the flaw thorne furniture factory, which covers practically an entire block in the nearl of the city's old industrial district. the editors were whisked out through Hol- lywood and Cahuenga pass to Univer- sal City to see motion pictures in the making Alter q glimpse behind the scenes there, cutting diagonally across the city to it's farthest southeastern boundary, the big party was met at the entrance or the tire factory by mem bers of the company's Flying Squao- ron" a group of men trained to per form all the operations in tire making who acted as guides.
 The visitors. in groups of from rvs to ten, each under it's Flying Squad ron guide explained all the intricacie: of rubber working and tire building made a lengthy inspection of the tir, plant and then were taken on a tour o, the company's cotton mill, where fab rio for millions of tires is being wovei | from Sarival cotton.

LANSING. Mich. Oct. (speciaD --Reo dealers from Chicago and Nor thern Illinois gave conclusive answer Co rumors that the automobile business is at a standstil by staging the largest driveaway ever made from the Rec plant at Lansing on October 9.
 The production of one day-Septem- Der 30--was set aside for the dealers in the Chicago territory. The days production was one hundred and sev- cnty-eight automobiles. which sets an other record. being tho largest single days output ever attained at the Rec factory.
 There were sixty three passenger cars and one hundred and fifteen Speed Wagons in the giant parade which left Lansing for Chicago. The great majority of the cars and trucks were handled direct by the forty-twc dealers who came To Lansing fin two special cars. The Rec Motor Car com. pany of Chicago handled tho drive away.

TIRE DEALERS MAY
 FORM ASSOCIATION

Emphasizing the need for m associ- ation of tire dealers and rcpairmen in this city. an enthusiastic meeting was held Thursday evening at the Grand cafe by approximately 90 lOGal dealers and vulcanzers.
 The meeting followed a dinner given under the auspices Of the fircstone Tire and Rubber company for it's deal ers in Phoenix and nearby towns.
 The subject of an association. cm- bracinE all the tiro dealers ano repair- men of tho city was brought up by a number of those present. It was urged bv several that such an organization b was a necessity for the protection Of the car owner rcndcrtnE. as lr wound a more stable condition among the various dealers and eliminating the objectionable class of repairmen and dealers who foist any kind of work and merchandise on the public.
 The matter Of starting such qn as- sOciation has been the subject Among several of the Firestonc dealers for some time. and the meeting Thursday gave an opportunity for all those pres ent Co express themselves as 70 Che feasibility of the project
 General satisfaction was expressed by the various tire dealers with their connection with the Flrestone compa- uy. and Manager Van Pelt of the local Firestone branch. was much pleased over Che spirit of corporation shoNh by thc dcHier organ 'zatlon.

each driving a onc-cylinder car, this event to precede the main contest. The principal drawback in this respect lies in the difficulty of securing two old one- cylinder cars that will hold to- gether long enough to get around the one mile conrse. Of course the speed would not amount to more than 12 to IS miles per hour. Toft has signified his willingness to participate in such a grueling grind, and there seems to be no question among those who know Barney we'll that he would be delight ed to engage in such a speedfest.
 His original car-the one in which he first raced for Ford-is on exhibi- tion in Los Angeles at this time. It is possible that this car might be secured and the track paced by Barney in the ear which gave him his start on a career which has turned out to be the greatest among the racing drivers ot this generation.
 Barney's visit to Phoenix will be awaited with great enthusiasm by rac- ing fans.

T0FT EQUALS TIME MADE BY HEARNE LIN
 LOCAL DIRT TRACK

The fact that Omar Toft equalled Eddie Hearne's record of last year when Toft finished the 95th lap at the fair grounds last Sunday, probably has not occurred to many people.
 In one hour and 24 minutes, Toft drove 90 miles. This according to the timers is equal to circling the one mile track at the average time of B sec onds.~
 Hearne established a record for the dirt track 100-mile event of 1 hour. zs average him 5 seconds for each lap of the 100
 Compared with the terrific speed of Milton, Tofts car seemed to stand still. He was, however. running under big handicap, a valve head being broken, causing the motor to miss ana spulref the entire distance from the second | lap on.
 Ordinarily. this trouble is enough to compel a driver to leave the contest. | and as it grew worse, Toft states tfiae \ he considered the matter of making the pit. With the elimination of Chevro- let in the 54th lap he had to stay in, both from the fact that his remaining 1 in the race was an incentive to Milton to finish strong and from the ract that an accident could happen to the leader at any time, thereby rendering it very possible for Toft to finish in the first money.
 The Frontenac Toft drove was fast lear Built in the Monroe shops, it pos sessed both speed and endurance, and
 but for the fact that it sustained the valve injury in the early stage of the race, would undoubtedly broRn Hearne's
 record by several minutes.

TRACTOR MAKERS| TOWARDS. MACHINES

LOS ANGELES, Oct 16-( (SpeciaD- That there is a tendency among tractor manufacturers which is leading to an increasing ratio of small tractors to the large one, was apparent at the Los Angeles Tractor show. which was rec ognized as the official tractor show of the fan of 1920.
 This inclination shows the tendency of the manufacturers to fit their pro duct to more closely meet the changing farming conditions that are taking place under the varying temperature and soil conditions.
 That there is more of a demand for tractors that win pull two blows than for those which will pull four blows is evidenced by the large number of light garden type machines that have put in their appearnce as the product of the makers of the heavier type of tractors.
 There is of course little question that the larger machines fill positions on the big ranches which could not be filled by the small types, and the field is conceded to be as great as ever for these heavy machines.
 The desire of tractor manufacturers to put out motor cultivators for tiIling the bean and cotton crops of the south west was also revealed at the show. There seems 10 pc an actlNe demand for a light machine. incapable of doing heavy blowing, but which can cultivate several rows at a time, and which win get between the rows at such a height land distance as will render the plants safe from injury
 Hot weather. it has been shown. has | been the death of horses in the interior valleys of California, and the tractor has filled a long felt want in this di- rection. as the machines apparently work better in hot weather than in cold The motor cultivator has solved the problem in the cotton regions of the southwest. where the heat is usual " so intense that horse can hardly Hive. let alone work.
 | Observations at the show indicate that much more attention is being paid to machines which have a wide range of adaptability to all crops. Six types
 of tractors were exhibited which had
 wheels permitting extensions to be fit
 ted for handling various row widths.
 Most of the machines designed to dc
 crop work had a greater clearanct
 than has been usual. Convertible
 tractor and motor cultivating designs
 shown at the exhibit attracted perhaps
 mere attention than the latest types O. straight motor culivators.

SAVAGE BUILDING
 TIRES FUR EXPORT

The subject of overseas commerce has received considerable attention from the automotive industry the past few years, with the result that markets have been brought closery together and trading difficulties eliminated.
 A. E. Kelley of the San Francisco branch of the Spreckels Savage" Tire company. who has charge of their ex- port department, states that almost without exception foreign made cars carry wheels and rims made to metric measurement, and that tires built strictly on metric basis are required for such cars.
 Early in its career. his company be- gan to consider the varied require ments of export trade, and it is today prominent among those who manuiac- ture tires that are especially construct ed for foreign trade. Many exporters compromise by shipping 10 foreign markets regular iuch-siz tires that approximate metric standards. but such | tires are not satisfactory.
 An important phase Of export trade. according to Kelley. and one that pre scnts great difficulties to the unIniu-

ated, is proper packing for shipment. The makers of Savage tires have made a thorough study of packing, protec- tion and shipping so that "a satisfac- tory tire shall reach the foreign buyer in good condition.
 There are many things to bear in mind when packing for export Goods must be packed differently according to the means of transportation. the conditions existing in the country to which they are consigned, the customs duties imposed. etc
 They may have 10 be transported by cart, or by mule, llama, bull and camel, or even perhaps by man carrier. They must be protected If necessary against climatic conditions such as heavy rains or intense heat, and provisions must be made for. protection from unusually rough handling, or against offering.

FRE|GHT RATES CAUSE IF GREAT
 TOURIST FLOOD

That the recent increase in freight rates will have a far-reaching effect on the tourist travel for the coming fall, winter and spring seasons is evi- denced by the fact that thousands of people owning cars in the eastern and middle western states are planning 10 drive to the Pacific coast instead of shipping their cars as formerly These advices come both from the east and from the coast.
 It has heretofore been the custom for a great many people to. ship their cars during the winter season to the coast, taking the train to their destination and using the car to drive during their stay.
 Information coming from the Auto mobile Club of Southern California tends to bring to light the fact that never before in history have the great transcontinental automobile roads seen the, tremendous amount of travel that is going over them at this time, and which shows no sign of abating. 1 In the east and middle west, accord- ing to letters received by the club, automobile owners have been stimu- lated into very unusual activity, this activity taking the form of plans for l tours, the majority of which are to- word the west and the Pacific coast.
 Quests for information as to road conditions are pouring in at a rapid rate, according to officials of the club.
 who state that in addition to answer
 ing all these requests, they are rushing
 the posting of the National Old Trails
 highway. This highway, passing
 through northern Arizona, is being
 used daily at this time by no less than
 100 machines going westward. Recent
 information from Kingman stated that upwards of 100 motor cars were going
 west daily and about 20 to 30 eastward
 bound.
 With the construction of hundreds
 of miles of good roads in various parts
 of the east and middle west, motorists
 in many sections are enabled to now , reach one or more of the main arteries | stretching to the west This connect up system rapidly being constructed in nearly every eastern state has greatly
 added to the traffic that is now en ) route to the West and which is still to |, come.
 ' Probably the two most popular l. routes to the coast will be over the d Lincoln highway and the National old : Trails highway. The Lincoln highway l. at present is undergoing a thorough n posting or the part of the Automobil. s Club of Southern California. and bott l. the National Old Trails and the Lin
 coln highway will be completely l. marked within the next SO days. Is Ii would seem to be the unanimou a opinion Of hotel, resort. and automo y bile club officials that the increase fl T. freight rates will prove to be of rrea n hegefit to the West and Southwest i, l. the matter of greatly increasing tn

NEW COTAY LATEST OF SENSATIONS IN
 AUTOMOBILE FIELD

NEW YORK, Oct. 1e.-Forty- five | miles on a gallon of gasolinei
 That is the claim made bv it's in ventors for the "Cotay' automobile the latest product soon to be placed on the market
 that will accomplish this record of high mileage, say it's sponsors, is its four cylinder air-cooled motor. com bined with light construction throughout the car.
 The Cotay is the result of the com bined effort of three men who sought to counteract the rising cost of gaso- lines and the threatened decline in it's production, with a machine that would go farther on the same amount of fuel. Two of the men got their know ledge of engines from aIrpianes. Cap tain Frank T. Coffyn was one or the first fliers in the country. He is one of the three surviving members of the old Wright team James B. Taylor, Jr., served for two years as test pilot for naval planes. Everitt s. Cam eron has had 20 years experience in builNng air-cooled motors. "It is the air-cooled motor and the consequent eheapness of our car that will enable it to make the enormous mileage we claim for it, Captain Cot- ' fyn said today.
 50 great has been the response in automobile circles to our announce ment that we already have orders on l hand for 250, ,000 cars, or as many as We can make in the next five years. | The car will have a 4-cylinder motor and will be made both in two and four | passenger models. Both are listed at ! S1200
 1 "Of course, other cars have air ] cooled motors and these cars have shown greater fuel economy than those with heavy, cumbersome water cooled | systems. But we claim that at least we have a perfect air-cooled motor. one that will function 100 per cent under all conditions and that by it's lightness and strength will make possible enor- nous savings in gasoline.
 | Besides emphasizing the cars cheap ness. Coffyn points out that it will weigh only 900 pounds. Part of this lghtness is due to the body which will be of laminated wood. or wood in thin sheets. such as are used in airplanes And. also due 10 this lghtness, tho tires will last 5000 miles.
 The car has a tread of only 4 inches Coffyn explained. This is eight inches narrower than the stand
 ard width. The machine will be bull
 low and will be well fitted to work it,
 way in and out of traffic.

INTEREST. BEING SHOWN IN
 HIG H WAY BILL

or great interest to the voters of the state. is the new highway commission bIll. which will come before the people at the November election.
 This bill proposes Co change the method of handling the raising of state road funds to the end that the state will have annually a sum Of sl,SOO,00O available for road building and main tenance purposes as against the sum Of s225.000 approximately, as at present.
 Tho present method of raising money for state roads is declared by those who are familiar with the bin, to be totally inadequate. As the law now stands. % per cent of the money raised by each county goes to road work within the county while the balance, or 90 per cent goes to the state.
 This has resulted, it is pointed out. in many counties constructing road systems that do not connect with the state roads. thereby making it neces- sary for the traveller to cross stretches Of almost impossible road in going from one part of the state 10 another.
 According to the present arrange ment it said, a continuous highway , system crossing tho state north and south. east and west. touching the i'm portant mining, agricultural and cattle regions and the main shipping centers of the state. is impossible of achieve ment. The bill. as now constituted would render tho remote sections oi the state. which hold forth great pos abilities as agricultural. stock raising and mining districts. open to develop ment by the creation of outlets for marketing tho products of these dis tricts.
 This fin turn, it ls stated. would rem der possible a great increase in th, -saxable value of these counties. whicl VI uId thereby serve to more equally dis -ribute the burden of taxation or the entire people of the state.
 very strong argument for the bin fin the opinion Of many. is the fact tha it win place the road building system of the state on a business basis. there by saving the taxpayers money an. accomplishing results that are not nov possible
 Features of the bill specify that commission of fivc men be appolnte, by the governor, representing five dis stricts of tho state. dividing the | counties into these five districts. am that these commissioners hold offic from one to five years each. as de termined by lot among themselve. Their successors would be appointe by the governor from the same geo graphical districts.
 Another provision of the bin, an one that it is expected win meet wit tho approval of the great majority c tho public, is that which states ths not more than three members of th commission shan belong Co the sam political party. This in the opinio of all who have studied the situation viii forever divorce politics from th state highway department. a matt, that Is vital to the success of any pre gram that may be outlined for n construction of an adequate highws system for the state.

Jack Tebbets is so busy these days that the man who is forced to look for him discovers him to be very much like the "proverbial flea" There is a reason. Jack is certainly writing up business, as will be seen from the fol- lowing:
 Watson Brothers. Paige distributors have just installed complete outfit of Boyle Dayton gasoline pumps. tanks, air compressor and oil tanks
 The Home Service garage, at 523 West Jefferson street has also installed Boyle Dayton gasoline pump.
 The Phoenix oil company has just installed BOyle-Dayton air controlled gasoline pump as has Van Dorn's ga- rage at 12T West Jefferson street. 4 X very nifty service station has been built at the corner of Van ruren and Nineteenth avenue. by w. A. Tomlin- son Tebbet's equipment order here was for two Boyle-Dayton air-con- | trolled pumps, and air pumps and tanks for free service among other ar ticles
 Jack also states that Twohy Broth CTS. the big road contractors. have just purchased from him some Boyle Day ton pumps for handling their gasoline This explains why Jack can never be found. He's working, and apparently is getting results, too.

 The police say this is partly due 10 mans instinct to protect woman, and partly to the fact that it's nice to have someone on the outside who can bring fruit, cake. cigarettes and other delicacies to a man behind the bars
