HARDING ALMOST
COMPLETES HIS
CABINET SLATE
Navy, Commerce and Labor
Positions Are Only Ones
to Be Filled.

st. Augustine, Fla. Feb. 16.-As
President-elect Harding continued
his conferences with ranking leaders
of his party today, it was indicated
that completion of the cabinet slate
of the coming administration waited
only on definite selections for the
portfolios of navy, commerce and la
bor.
BY all those in close touch with
the situation, it was conceded, how
ever, that these selections might not
only lead to considerable delay, but
might also involve some shifting of
the assignments already more or less
definitely fixed. 1t was considered
unlikely that any announcement
would be made until day or two be-
fore inauguration.
AS the LIST stood today, with navy,
commerce and labor vacant it was
understood to contemplate the ap-
pointment Of Charles Evans Hughes
of New York for secretary Of state;
John w. Weeks of Massa chusetts for
secretary of war; Andrew Mellon of
Pennsylvania for secretary of the
treasury; Will H. Hays of Indiana for
postmaster general; Harry NJ.
Daugherty Of Ohio for attorney gen.
eral; Henry Wallace of Iowa for sec
retary of agriculture, and A. B. Fall

 tied against the Phoenix delegation at the Greens convention several large cities which were ary desrous of obtaining the convention for 1922 ye. ArzOna representatives made their s-rOng and hey proved such boosters for this state that they ried off the honor with unanimous vote.
 This combined with the fact that the See Arizona First campaign, inaugurated by the local motor dealers has caused small amount of attention and comment throughout the East, will, in the opinion of many in touch with the situation bring hundrcis of ourists to Arizona this sumner and fall.
 One of the most encouraging signs that the touring season in Arizona this year will be great is tho fact that hundreds of people have given up plans for vacations spent the coast and n other states and have made plans and preparations for spending from two weeks to two months in visiting the great wonders of their own state The automobile dealers have been deuged for information relative to the various roads and highways of the state the camping spots the fish ing streams, hunting grounds and natural wonders.

Mr. and Mrs. D. c. Brown of Louis xi-ac. Ky. formerly of Phoenix), have just completed a remarkable srsr from Louisville to Phoenix in their Dodge Brothers roadster.
 MT. Brown is brother of A. N. Brown s14 =. Second avenue, and was formerly manager of the Pioneer company of Phoenix, having left Phoenix to make his home in Ken tucly in 1914.
 Both MT. and Mrs. Brown were aoliEhtcd at being able to come back ro Rsoensx and plan to make their horne here.
 In speaking of the trip. Mir. Brown said- We were on the road just II days and covered 2,244 miles. Un- fortunately. we encountered very se- were weather through Indiana, Hi scfs Missouri and Kansas, and did not have a good travelling day until we reached New Mexico.
 Some of the roads we encoun tered through the Mississippi Valley were almost beyond description. We were forced to travel for days at g time. through binding blizzards and rain storms. and were in low and in- ferrrediate gears for two and three hours al stretch because of the heavy Sumbo mud.

PACKARD STOCK BILL BRAM[ETTE
 MARKETED WITH STARTERS 0LD HIN TWO HOURS BISHOP MARK

The marketing of the entire S10,- 900. 900 issue of bonds of the Packard Motor Car company within two hours a few days ago, proves the soundness of the automobile industry as well as the excellent financial standing of the Packard company. according to liar " Smith of Smith Vincent Co.,. Packard distributors.
 This issue is the first financing that has been accomplished by any automobile company in more than a year." said Smith. Its success has exceeded the hopes of the underwrit- CTS. Many bankers had not believed that 1t would yet be possible to float such a loan. The result proves that industry and realize also that it is passing out from under the depres- sion of the past few months.
 Tn addition the sale was evidence of the confidence the public feels in Pa ,kard The entire issue was heav- ily oversubscribed before the end of the first day and many investors will be unable to get as many bonds as they desire.
 '''rhe proceeds of these bonds are to be used in financing the produc- ton of the new single-six Packard which is in great demand and in some territories has been sold out months in advance. As a result the company is speeding productions as rapidly as possible, and will soon reach a rate of nearly 10000 a year without ir- terfering with the in-six or the trucks"

.SP RING DES|GN
 .AbS0RBS STRESS 'OF q AR I IN G

When the torque or turning effort of an automobile engine is applied through drive shaft and pinion to turn the rear wheels, or when the brakes are applied. there is ten dency for the whole axle to rotate. Some designers made use of a third arm, or 'torque member" to neutral ize this turning force, while others employ the 'Hotchkiss drive" which consists of the use of the front hail of the rear springs to absorb this tendency for the axle to rotate.
 Properly worked out, the Hotch- kiss drive has many distinct advan- 'tages." says President H. NJ. Jewett of the Paige. "A cleaner, simpler de- sign is made possibye. and extra
 joints and extra weight are elimi- mated.
 When a car is standing at the curb, for example and power is sud-
 denly applied by throwing in the cutch, a sudden and severe strain is thrown on the rear axle pinion and ring gear. In the Hotchkiss type Of construction this shock is in part
 neutralized by the flexible action of t.le rear springs. A saving of wesf
 and tear on these important gears
 and their bearings adds greatly to the 1 life and quietness of a rear axle. l Great care is necessary, however | in designing the rear springs where , the Hotchkiss drive is used. Paige l engineers, as a result of long and
 careful experimenting, developed a rear spring design which eliminated | the early troubles which some de- ! sfgners had with the Hotchkiss type l or drive, and achieved a layout sim i pier and decidedly more flexible and efficient than any construction re quiring third torque member

Department Store Increases Use

No problem which Confronts the manager of a department store is of greater moment than that of delivery. Every known means has been tried, and stores throughout the United States have standardized on light and fast trucks of one-ton capacity or less
 One of the old established depart ment stores of Philadelphia is the Joseph Darlington company. F.

Since 1918 they have added another of the same trucks each year. two in 1920, until the fleet mum Ders five.

 Mrs. Brown and I were very com fortable the entire distance, and she agreed with me that the trip was certainly successful one.
 "Our total expense for the trip, including hotel bills for three or four nights and some additional camping equipment which we purchased en- route, amounted to less than S150 This also included all gasoline and oil we used. Of course, we averaged nearly 20 miles to the gallon of gas oline, and our oil consumption was very low, so that these items were not great. The greatest expense was for food, etc.

While a reduction of prices durnig the 1921 season might not have been unexpected by the motoring public, it is safe to say that it came much sooner and was a greater reduction than had been anticipated.
 The only question is whether or not it is too low. We feel that our readjustment of prices is radical and at one move it puts tire prices at rock bottom.
 Conditions in the automobile in dustry are much better and the out look much brighter and of course this is reflected in the tire industry. Fair wages, honest products, right prices and a square deal all around are what will give producer, distrib- utor and public real confidence Recognizing this we put our prices at the point we have announced
 The action of the Goodrich com pany is accepted as an indication that the great manufacturing concerns oi the country are preparing to take the l lead in bringing down the cost o. ! things.
