Detroit for a. minimum of 100000 of the overhead valve four cylinder mo tors used in the Durant car. The total value of the motors runs into many millions of dollars.
 In a recent interview in Detroit. President Ross. w. Judson of the Continental Motors gave an interest ing sidelight upon the degree of con- fidence existing between the big men of the automobile business. Last April, it seems, Durant turned over to the Continental Motors blue prints of the motor designed by Durant en- gineers and asked that sample mo- tor be built according to the specifi- cations with only the verbal assur- ance that mutually satisfactory contract would be signed eventually.
 With no more than Durant's spoken word. the Continental Motors pro- ceeded to invest in special tools and equipment to the amount of more than s700,00 to expedite production upon the new motor. Not a little credit for the remarkably fast time in which the new Durant car was de- veloped belongs undoubtedly to the whole hearted cooperation which Durant received from many sources in the automotive industry such as that given him by the Continental Motors.

G|ELOW SAYS TO
 LOOK OUT FUR
 BATTERY DOPES

F. L. Gielow, manager of the Elec- tric Equipment company. states that there are so many wonderful things being done every day that when a man says he has a solution of very, very secret nature. with some peculiar metal in it, which puts new life into c battery, nine out of ten people are ready to believe him without ques- ton.
 ''The whole scheme of battery dop- ing seems so plausible that dozens of companies have been led to start in business manufacturing 'dopes' o1 various sorts" he declares.
 Some of these battery medicines are really harmless, and the worst that can be said about them is that they do no good-except that they relieve the ca owner of five or six dollars which he might invest in gas, tires, oil, or something else more needful to the car. There are others that do actual harm by taking active material away from the battery plates and by introducing foreign sub- stances into the b ttery colution.
 As result of a recent checkup on the subject of battery dopes, the Willard Storage Battery company found that all makers of standard well-known batteries are agreed upon the fact that the only satisfactory battery solution is diluted pure sul-

Type 6I Cadillac
 Gets Reception
 Wherever ShoUn

With both public and the dealers acclaiming the new Cadillac cars, type 61, and with this acclaim re- flected in orders which have forced the factory into big production, the new Cadillac can be genuinely put down as a tremendous success.
 Since the car was first shown to the public, the factory has been over whelmed with congratulations. The reception given type 61 has been unanimous throughout the country.
 In the New York metropolitan area, where Cadillac has long been a leader, it has been given marked approval.
 Out on the Pacific coast it even surpassed the mark of good esteem in which it has always been held. and the same condition exists throughout the country.
 Comments from distributors run along the following lines:
 During the writer's 16 years of handling the Cadillac automobile, there has never been such enthusia sm over new type as over the type 61,' says Edward F. Clark, president of the V estern Massachusetts Cadillac company of Springfield, Mass.
 Type 61 Cadillac is the handsom- est and finest car built in America ? is the comment of the Cadillac Sales company of Knoxville, Tenn.

WHITE DESIGNS
 SPECIAL TRUCK
 FOR RAIL WORK

Following close on the White com pany's announcement last week of new 19S-inch wheel base motor bus chassis comes another announcement Of new models. The White company has added several types of complete motorized railway coaches to it's line of commercial vehicles.
 For several ears White trucks have been used by a number of the snort line railroads on the Pacific coast. But each of these jobs has been spe- cial order and the work Of convert ing the chassis into Hanged wheel car was handled in the local factory branch The new models, which in clude 42, 38 and 29 passenger cars, will be completely factory built.
 While the chassis frame and motor in these new jobs are similar to the model 40 and model 45 White trucks, some of the features re revolution ary as far as railway motor car ue- sign is concerned.
 As a measure of safety, sanding tubes that carry sand to front and rear of back wheels are regular equlp- ment. The body, too, has many dls- tinctive features; it is heated from the motor exhaust, it has system of WaIG1DIOOI NG1ll AdlIOll LAOiAA sA-S tO~~i twelve ceiling lights and large bag

Sha,u Signal Very
 EffectiUe Deuice

One of the simplest and most eff fective mechanical signal devices yet seen in Phoenix is the Shaw Auto matic Signal, recently shown here by the inventor. s. B. Shaw. The signal is placed at the rear of the car and flashes the word 'stop" to the man driving behind. It is con- nected with the brake pedal and operates whenever the operator ap- plies the brake or at will.
 In addition to this. the signal Is lighted up with a red light when in operation, and white light when not engaged. The fact that it does not depend upon electrical appi- ances for its operation renders It sure in it's work.
 The inventor has a great many endorsements and letters recom- mending the Shaw signal as the best yet devised. The distribution for the Pacific coast has been awarded and MT. Shaw is now endeavoring to close up the distribution for the state of Arizona. Anyone desiring to communicate with him can do so by seeing R. ". Shaw at the Valley bank
