1921 Brides
Big Year"
1918 LOzUeSt

A comparison Of figures in the
office of County Clerk Boyer re-
veals the fact that 1921 bids fail
to be a banner year for the issu-
ance of marriage licenses, and
places 1918, the year that the
United States was actually in the
war, as the lowest.
Although eight months and six
days have passed there has been
2S7 marriage licenses issued, with
several refused on account of the
age of the parties, or because OF
residence in other counties. This
is 40 more than issued during the
entire year of 1918.
In 1920 there were. more licenses
issued than of the five years pre-
vious, the total being 434. In
1915 there were 345; 1917, 264;
1919, 36S.

only three tenths of l per cent there would be little danger, but experiences d few years ago show that the reverse is true. No one knows just how much of this is takes to produce death. Esti- mates vary all the way from five tenths of per cent to 25 per cent. one authority claims that exposure to an atmosphere containing 20 per cent within an hour and that even 5 per cent would cause a headache several hours later.
 A man working under a car with the engine running, would have no show whatever. since there is usually larg- CT percentage near the floor than at the ordinary height of a man, but there is danger even though the mans head be six feet above the floor. It is certain that some per cent is fatal and even smaller amounts may seriously affect the health. and may perhaps account for some deaths which have puzzled the physicians.
 The remedy. of course, is ventilation. Ventilation without chilling the gar age may be effected by using a piece of flexible metal hose, which is run out at small opening at the bottom of the door or through the door. or where it. is the practice to run the engine within the garage frequentlys perma- nent installation may be made running the hose through the side of the garage or wherever it is convenient to convey it out to the open air

as we'll there is little fear of trouble: but with the temperature down around freezing one naturally keeps these openings closed, and then if the engine is running while you are testing it out or hunting some trouble, in a little while death stalks through the garage.
 One of the products of gasoline com bustion is carbon -monoxide. You can not see it coming out of the exhaust nor can you smell it. but it is there and it is more deadly than carbon dioXide. the well known carbonic acid gas. The lat ter merely snuffs out life from suffoca- ton. when it prevents oxygen from en- tering the lungs. Carbon -monoxide does not suffocate, but it affects the blood, the lungs aud through that organ enters into the arteries and veins. and de- stroys the bloods S life giving properties. This is so mark ed that there has been serious discussion of late whether the vast quantities discharged into the at mosphere by thousands of automobiles might not be a real peril in the city.
 When in a closed garage it is a known peril and should be guarded against There is some variation in the reports of the makeup of the ex- haust gases from an automobile, but experts generally give this as the ena- lysis of loo parts of exahust gas: car bonic acid gas s.70; oxygen 2.75: car bon-monoxide 30: hydro. cartoons tun- burned or ineompletely burned gaso- line) 6.55; nitrogen S1.70.

ANNOUNCES NEW
 TRUCK MODELS

In announcing it's new 1921 line of truck models, being now shown the public for the first time at the San Francisco automobile show. the More land Motor Truck company. expresses the belief that it has attained the highest type of truck design and con struction possible at the present time It believes the new models revolution ize the methods of truck operation cost accounting, making possible a safe charging off for depreciation of 10 per cent a year in place of the customary 20 per cent in other words, the com pany believes that it has brought about the realization of the longtime dream of ten-year truck transportation
 The exhibit includes the E, 212 and S1a ton models of the Moreland line It is announced that in these models the lessons of the past 10 years of manufacturing experience of the com pany, the lessons learned from the ex- periences of motor trucks in the great war, and all of the accumulated knowl- edge and experience of the best engin- eers obtainable, have been crystalized.
 Tn these models" says Watt l.. Moreland, general manager of the com pany, i've believe we have the super- truck. It has been customary for all truck users to charge off yearly de- preciation of 20 per cent on the basis of a five-year life. They have yearned lot tHe pAdSiloaI, dSiutii SeftT tiutA We are so confident that this perfected 1921 model is that long desired 10-year truck that we are going to say so. We absolutely are sold on this model our selves to the extent that we feel per fectly justified in telling the purchaser that he is safe in figuring his deprecia- tion on a ten-year basis, or ten per cent depreciation a year.
 'The Moreland company has always led in design. Its leadership has been unquestioned. It was the first to make use of method of efficiently using low grade fuel, or distillate. the first to make commercial use of the Liberty
 motor, the first to make use of the amidship transmission suspension, the first to use a more than three-speed i transmission, the first to use metal wheels, the first to make a one year guarantee, the first to use the ball and l socket radius rod suspension and many

other features as standard equipment which have since been recognized as the best practice in truck constructions It pioneered the worm drive in the West and this has since been proveF the highest type of rear and truck drive known. Some trucks have some of these features. No other truck has them all.
 'In our new models we have a num- Der of new features as well az some i'm provements in old. In our motors and in other ways our company is the first in the United States to profit fully by the war experience. In our models from F ton up we have new motors. These are based upon the war experi- enceS with the famous Liberty truck motor. These have been redesigned, cleaned up and rendered more efficient and will be found for the first time in any truck in this country in the More land. Noticeable changes in the models used in tha. 1 F and 215 ton trucks are the detach6ble heads. the full pressure oil feed system, the addition of a pressure fuel feed system to take the place of the old vacuum system.
 Another striking feature is to be found in the z ton and heavier mod els. This is the new fiye-speed trans mission, used as standard equipment for the first time in any truck. A speed 9 per cent lower than formerly is in corporated and the other ratios slightly changed to allow for a continuous low of flexible power. This is primarily perfected because we recognize the in crease and greater increase to come, in the use of trailers. This means smooth CT operation and longer life.
 All six speeds. the five forward and reverse, are all operated by one shift lever. In other multispeed transmits sions it is customary to use compound transmission and two levers, with their attendant complications. The new transmissions are heavier and are so

TON RETURNS WITH
 PORTAGE LINE

F. F. 8Plumpton. formerly Goodrich branch manager for Arizona, and one of the best and most favorably known tire men in the entire southwest, arrived in Phoenix last Wednesday as the special preventative of the Portage Tire and Rubber company of Akron.
 Mr Plumpton left Phoenix last No- vember for San Francisco 10 confer with officials of the Portage company there and the territory of Arizona was placed under his direction.
 Plumpton, who knows every nook and cranny in the state and who is known by every garage and tire deal CT in the state, is looked upon as an ideal man to handle the Portage line in this territory.
 My idea in connecting with the Portage company" states Plumpton. withstand the mountainous and desert conditions of this state. I went up into Northern California next to the Oregon line, where the conditions are identical with those obtaining in Arizona. There l watched the tests administered the Portage by the public. These tests are different from the ordinary tests, in that they are extremely practical. l am going on the logical principle that it takes the public to test tires. They will find out what is wrong with them in mighty short order. Every one of ! ed and watched were doing magnifi- gently They withstood rocks, ruts, chuckholes and sharp, decomposed granite. Conditions like unto our own malapi are to be found in the terri tory where 1 went, and there is noth- ] ing harder than this rock on tires. The Portage stood up splendidly under 1 these conditions, and I am returning to
 Arizona with a great deal of enthu- siasm in the firm conviction that

 expectations of the motorists and tire l dealers of the state"

exhaust pipe line and a little ingenuity will enable one to shape it so that it will fit over the end of the exhaust.
 The pipe need not be insulated where it passes through the side of the garage, but a flange may be put on either side 10 hold it firmly in place. The connec- ton between this flexible hose and the exhaust pipe should be tight enough to prevent gas from leaking out into the garage. Rubber hose may even be used, though it does not last long. Tire tape will not stand the heat we'll but as- bestos cloth will give satisfactory re- suits in making this connection tight
 Such an arrangemen will not only remove the element of danger but will also obviate the smells and other an noyances which come when the engine is operated within doors.

designed to permit a power take off for attachment of tire.
 Tn the 21a ton model, because of the five speed transmission the universal joint has been increased to the size for merly on the 31a ton model and on the creased and a new doublebolt spider suspension used, with large drive shafts.
 "The truck driver has been remem- bered in the new models in the design and arrangement of the cab. This is an all-metal cab, with all glass done away with. The cushions have been redesigned to provide sloping effect, giving additional comfort. They are divided and have a compartment under one for the storage of curtains when not in use. The windshields are of new design as well as the seat box. This latter is in three compartments, one for the gas tank which may be reached without moving the drivers cushion, one for tools, opening from the side with a safe lock, the other for bat tery if installed as an extra, or other uses. This eliminates the necessity of boxes on the running board and tends to the cleaning up Of the appearance of the truck The new gas tank has a 30gallon capacity in the larger models
 Both sides of the dash have been generally cleaned up. Instrument plates are provided and all instruments placed therein. The new motors are much cleaner in appearance and are designed for the addition of starting and light ing systems.
 Among the other principal changes are the new heavy metal bumper with big coil spring cushions, the making of the starting crank integral with the motor eliminating any possibility of getting out of alignment, new method of c1uch fabrication which fnsures per feet lubIication to all bearings, includ- ing the pocket bearing on the 'flywheel and the throwout bearing, new all-
