CHANGES IN The
HIGHWAY LAM
APpORTIONMENT SIMILAR

The federal highway act in gen
eral way resembles the federal aid
act OF 1915, but contains several new
features administration of the act
by the secretary OF agriculture, and
under him. the bureau OF public roads.
remains unchanged.
Apportionment of the fund to the
states is almost the same as in the
previous act. the fund being divided
into three parts one part apportloned
according to population, and accord
ing to area, and one part according to
mileage or rural and star mail routes
A new feature is the stipulation that
no state shall receive less than one
hall Of one per cent OF the total fuad
which, in this case, amounts 10 $555-
o25. This stipulation wilt increase
the amount received by four Of the
smaller states, namely. Delaware, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island and Yer
mont.
There is considerable change, how
ever, in the manner il which a state
may use its allotment. Each state
must select a connected road system
not exceeding seven per cent OF its
road mileage for Improvement with
federal aid This system will be di
vidcd into two classes, one OF which
will be known as interstate highways,
and the other as intercounty highways.
The interstate highways must not eX-
coed thrce-scventhS OF the system Sc
iectcd OH them not more than sixty
per cent OF the states allotment can
be spent without the joint approval Of
the secretary oil agriculture and the
state highway department. The inter
county highways, which consist OF the
remainder of the system selected, will
receive the remainder OF the states
allotment.
Except in states where more than
live per cent OF the area is unappro-
,riated public land, the amount OF
:edcral aid received on any project
must not exceed fifty per cent Of The
estimated cost. In states where more
han five per cent OF the area IS TN
appropriated public land, the fifty per
cent allotment is increased by al
amount equal 10 one-half tie percent.

nouncement by the Prest- Lite company that prices of Prest-O-Lite batteries were dropped 31 per cent. The new low prices are effective inn nnediately. The six-Volt type for Fords and many other light cars have been reduced from $30.40 to S2090 while the 12-volt type for Max well, Dodge and Franklin is now S33.90, reduced from S42.10. The six-volt types used by such cars as Buick, Chandler, Chalmers, Hudson, Maxwell, Oakland, Essex. etc, now range in price from s25.90 upward.
 When these prices are compared with those of 1920 it will become ap- parent that batteries have made great drop. Ford size batteries were selling at $3S.45 last year and the 12-volt types at s56.S5.
 ''The new prices are simply in line with the PrestO-Lite company's policy of being the last to raise and the first to reduce. declared A. $. Earnhart of the Battery Service com- pany yesterday. "Prest-O-Iite bat teries are now standard equipment on S7 makes of cars and trucks, and the list is gowing rapidly. We are making every effort to make our ser vice correspond with the splendid re- suits Prest-O-Lite batteries are giV- ing. We are adding more men as needed in all departments and iT- stalling new equipment to take care of increased business"

stunned the responsibility thereof, and no blame could be placed upon the reclamation service for such increase in acreage. In view of this situation, it is believed that a committee pre- senting the proper petition from the land owners themselves would be fla vorably received by the department.
 Director Davis stated that while he was in Denver he had been requested to inform Washington as to the num- Der of men he could use during the winter months of this year and the amount of money necessary to carry on such work as he might deem ad- visable in case congress provided his department with funds. He wired that he could use 16,S00 men for five months with an appropriation of $16,- 000,000. and that in listing the prof. ects upon which this work could be done, that he named the San Carlos as a project upon which work imme- diately could be commenced.
 It is to be regretted that Director Davis and Secretary Fall could not visit this project while in this sec ton of the country, but both ex- pressed a strong desire to look the project over personally and promised to do so at as early date as pos sible.
 The committee is pleased with the action of the Western States Recla- nation association at its meeting two weeks ago in placing Judge Oyerfield on the executive committee.

BOUSE, Dec. 6.-Thomas Meig- han and a company of about 30 peo- pie are here this week working on a Paramount Lasky film entitled "The Proxy Daddy" The scenes are be- ing taken in Swansea, and the head quarters of the company are tenn porarily at Bouse. Two interesting little players, the De Briac twins, Charles and Raymond. aged five, are attracting more or less attention. They are already experienced actors. having appeared in High Heels" with Gladys Walton, in Don't Tell

 The school and the Sunday school are preparing combined Christmas entertainment to be staged at the school house Christmas eve which promises to be very good. The kid dies gre working hard on several plays, carols and pieces. and a treat of candy, nuts and fruit will be given to al. of the children. The young folk will decorate the schoolhouse with holly and mistletoe, and a Palo Verde tree has been promised, so a gala time is assured.

purchased his device. what is believed tc be the perfect motor truck air braking system has been evolved.
 This complies with western laws and is ideally adapted to western use, providing certain graduated control and instant positive release. It is ready to do its part in making our highways safe for all travellers, a con oition which popular sentiment is now demanding with no uncertain voice.
 The road to this realization was long and arduous. Moreland engi- neers years ago experimented with and tested out all kinds of com pressors. chiefly reciprocating pumps. These, good for some purposes, burned up and were otherwise ineffective when applied to trucks. Special pumps with ball bearings and a wide variety of features g. e the same re- suits.
 The difficulties encountered seem to be solved entirely by the Lane Westinghouse system, by which the compression is secured from an accumulator valve in one of the en- zine cylinders. Another part of the other braking systems which gave trouble was that of controlling the delivery of the conn -ressed air to the brakes Various forms of cylinders were tried out. In large sizes these gave little trouble, but in sizes small enough for trucks the area of the pistons was so small in proportion to the air that it leaked past. They would not hold air. In the, new sys- tenn this leakage is overcome by a large rubber diaphragm against which the air presses. Iris in turn actuates the brake rod. There is no chance for air leakage.

SPLENDID
 PROGRESS IN SA|V CARLOS CAMPAIGN

FLORENCE, Dec. 16-Splendid progress is being made by the execu- tive committee of the San Carlos project in obtaining recognition of | the merits of the project, not only in Arizona as a whole, but also in other 1 intermountain and in Pacific coast states.
 | The Arizona delegation to the con- vention of the League of the South west, held at Riverside, Cal, Decem- ! Der s, and 10, was composed of about 60 members. It Is very grati- l lying to the committee to know and l to be able to say that the Arizona | delegation with but one or two dis | senting votes endorsed the San Car 1 jos project in its pre-convention cau- l GUS, which would have done much 1 toward a recognition of the project by the convention had it not been for the controversy which arose later. The action of the Arizona delega- tfon expresses the sentiment of the people of this great state as a whole. They have come to see and realize the value of the San Carlos to the entire state, and having reached this point, the foundation is laid for the conduct of vigorous campaign for the education of the eastern and mid de western commercial and indus trial centers, to the end that their 1 respective congressman and senators may lend their support to any meas ure looking to the reclamation of the wonderful fertile valleys lying within l the boundaries of the San Carlos l project.
 1 Among the valley delegates were Judge Overfield, Judge O. J. Baughn and Captain Heating of Florence, and I S. G. Bailey and A. A. Jayne of Casa l Grande, and while the convention ad- I journed without the passage of a sim gle resolution, the local delegates, by l their persistent and untiring efforts accomplished much in the way o1 | placing the proposed project in the proper light before the departmenta head of the reclamation service.
 A meeting was held with Arthur P Davis, director of the reclamation service, at which Prof. c. F. F. Smith irrigation engineer of the University of Arizona, presented to Director Da- wis a report prepared by Professor Smith looking to an incease Of the acreage of the San Carlos project, ant it is the belief of the committee thai the reclamation service would favor ably consider an application for th' 1 increase of this acreage, providing such application and request sam' l rom the ianu owners uuueT lhS pAOJ

DISARMAMENT TO GREATLY ASSIST
 AUTO INDUSTRY

J. J. Cole of the Cole Motor Car company states that aside from it's broader and more humanitarian as- poets, the success of the disarma- ment conference will favorably affect every line of. business.
 Particularly will it affect the mo- tor car industry.
 If the steel treating experts of the world are relieved of their task armor plate and armor piercing projectiles, they will have time to help us build non- breakable auto mobiles. Certainly. if they can make steel strong enough to withstand the impact of a six-inch shell, they can make an automobile that won't break or bend if you drive it into a tele- phone pole, a tree, or a concrete bridge.
 steel treating and metallurgics are only in their infancy.
 If the disarmament conference succeeds in diverting science from the making of guns and armor plate. to the making of blow shapes, trucks, tractors and automobiles, civiliza- ton will have been advanced a cen tury overnight.
 If the United States could get back all it has spent in warfare every man and woman in the whole country could have home, a motor car, a piano, plenty of good clothes, plenty of good, wholesome food. plenty laid away for rainy day. and every child could have a college education, with trip abroad thrown in for good measure.
 "The success of the disarmament conference would enable us to build far better motor cars, because 1t would in time, provide us with better steel to put into them. It would also give us better roads, because. there would be more money to spend on roads if we quit wasting our national resources on armament. This com bination of better automobiles and better roads would make automobiles last longer-the motor car with more than 100000 miles to it's credit would be the rule rather than the exception. If the disarmament program goes through, the automobile industry will be put in a greater position of security and the motor car, for all time to come, will be in the class of | universal necessities.
 If the great transcendent brain power which heretofore has been | concentrated on armament can be diverted into industrial channels. one of the results will be a perfect ed motor car that ought reasonably be expected to last a lifetime"

MORE[AND TESTS
 OUT AIR BRAKES

For years engineers of the country have sought an effective, safe and efficient air-braking system for ap- plication to trucks. but it has re- mained for western men to develop and perfect system that will render the operation of heavy-loaded truck upon the treacherous mountain or canyon roads of the west as perfectly safe and readily controlled as the steam trains with their Westinghouse brake equipment.
 Realizing that the time must come when such safety must be insured upon the highways, Moreland Motor Truck company engineers have for years been making original research, experiments and test, in common with others. Every known device was ex- amined and tried out.
 None was found that answered the test until a device upon which G. $. Lane had been Independently working was offered. At last, through the combined efforts of these men and the Westinghouse corporation, which
