EDery Car OlU11er Should Possess
 Spring Spreader

"A spring reaf spreader to permit the separation of the spring leaves, so that they can be thoroughly fabricated. is one of the most valuable tools that the motorist who takes care of his own car possesses" declares J. A. Shaulis, branch manager of the Western Auto Supply agency.
 Too. many owners completely neg lect tho care of their springs. Ex- posed as they are to water, mud and dust, it does not take long for rust and grit to freeze the leaves of the spring tight together until they are little bet ter than solid piece of metal, as far as their cushioning action is con- cerned.
 'Unyielding springs of this sort not only make the car far harder riding but they impose added shocks upon every part of the mechanism of the car. The less shock that is absorbed by the springs, the more must be taken up by the tires. From the standpoint of tire wear alone. it is the wisest sort of economy for the motor car owner to take good care of the condition of the springs in his car.
 With the use of a Knowlson spring leaf spreader, it is a comparatively easy matter to thoroughly lubricate every leaf in the springs. with graphite. If this is done regularly the chances of spring leakage are greatly reduced and spring squeaks are pre- vented"

JUMBO TUBE ALL
 NAME IMPLIES

There is hardly car owner who at some time or other has not been inn pressed upon him the fact that tire is no stronger than the tube within. Many a motorist has found to his dis may that a brand new casing into which he had just put a weak tube was very shortly ruined.
 The importance of strong tubes in castings cannot be over emphasized. Any irregularities within the casing. such as fabric breaks, roughness in the overlapping joints, etc, must be withstood by the tube, and even with careful driving, it takes a strong tube to withstand the chaffng action which arises from these causes
 The Western Auto Supply company specializes on a tube which, according to J. M Shaulis, manager of the con cern, is about 20 per cent thicker and heavier than the ordinary tubes. This tube is called the Jumbo Extra Thick Tube" and Is all that it's name implies. It is a laminated tube, built ply upon ply. and air holes are a rarity indeed.
 It is an excellent tube for oversize kires as it will stretch sufficiently without harm to itself to fill the tire completely. It is made in red rubber only, the famous antimony process be- ing used to give the rubber a maximum amount of heat resistance. This tube, according to Manager Shaulis, is an ideal tube for Arizona conditions, and thousands of today's users highly recommend the Jumbo Tube as one of the best on the market

 Ouer Haynes "5Op'

That the Haynes Fifty, the lighter and smaller car sensation of 1921, is creating widespread interest among the motoring public wherever the new car is exhibited, is evidenced by the en- thusiastic reports being received from the Haynes Automobile company. Ko- komo, Ind.
 From New York, Chicago, Philadel- phia, Cleveland and St. Louis, where automobile shows have been held, the story comes that the Haynes Fifty has been one of the chief centers of attraction. Every day scores of mo- torists surround the Haynes booth where this new car is on display, and the consensus of opinion is that the Haynes Fifty is the ideal car to meet strong, popular demand.
 "The new Haynes Fifty really was the biggest feature of the Chicago automobile show" asserted promi- nent Haynes dealer, "and from the expressions of approval I heard on every hand, I know that this car is making a decided hir with the auto- 1 mobile buying public. Every hour oi

Hood Tires Giuing Splendid Results
 Says Distributor

''Very satisfactory results have been tabulated on the performance or the new Hood tires which are made for Arizona conditions" says John Sabra of the Coates Tire House. We have sold a great many of these fine tires and have in each case, kept an accur- ate check upon them as to mileages, road conditions, etc. We have never found a tire which has shown so little wear and tear as this tire. Nearly every car owner having one or more Of these Arizona Hood tires on his car, has voluntarily informed us from time to time of the wonderful wearing quail ties of the castings"
 Sabra states further that these tires were running under every condition imaginable in the state. He states they are on cars being operated in the min ing districts, desert stretches and rough valley roads. Not a one of them has developed the least indication of chip ping, according to his knowledge.
 "The main trouble with tires in gen. eral in this state," he asserted, 'is that they are all built to a single standard. That is, tire that is built to withstand road conditions in Ohio. 1 boulevards in Chicago, fine pike roads ditions elsewhere, is supposed to be able to stand the sharp rocks and ruts of Arizona roads. Very few of these tires can hold up under our conditions in this state. A tire, to be entirely satisfactory in Arizona, should be made to fit mountain roads, and be able to withstand rocks. It is all very we'll to claim high mileage for tires operating over reasonably good conditions. but
 when a man can obtain mileage on such terrible roads as the Black Can yon and the Apache Trail he ought to give unstinted praise to his tire. The Hood tires which we are selling were made for these conditions by the Hood factory. And they are delivering the goods, too" Ask the man who had the Arizona Hood Tire.

Grand Canyon Is
 Conquered By
 Harley Donaldson

The worlds greatest gorge, the Grand Canyon, has been conquered by motorcycles!
 Sounds impossible in these days when no vehicle but a mule is expected to survive the mile descent down to the Colorado river.
 But this is just what John Edwin Hogg, Los Angeles sportsman and writer, has accomplished. thereby gain- ing the distinction of being the first person to drive two-wheeled mount. under it's own power, a mile down into the great chasm and out again.
 The start was made from Peach Springs, Ariz., a small station on the Santa Fe railroad, which in the days before Fl Tovar was known was the point from which all tourists made their pilgrimages to the bottom of the canyon. At this point the distance from the nearest human habitation to the river is 23 miles.
 In former days a tourist hotel was located 21 miles down Peach Springs canyon, at it's junction with Diamond canyon, tributary of the Grand Can yon. Tourists were hauled in stages to this hotel over rocky trail that with great difficulty was kept open to traffic. The two-mile descent from
  foot.
 After the destruction of the hotel by lightning, this route was abandoned and the trail became obliterated by the violent rains that rage frequently in that region. The entire project has now passed away without a trace" Having made preparation for four day trip, Hogg left Peach Springs about noon, with a cameraman from fha ma saossa Indian leading two pack mules lader with provisions and camp equipment. l With the machine in low gear Hogs | battled until dark with the trackless boulder strewn canyon and the part, pitched camp for the night F milei down the gulch. The grind was re stunned the next morning and after sev eral more hours of almost unbelievabl bouncing, plunging and hurtling, hi Harley Davidson sport model and it Goodyear tires rolled down to the edg iof the murky Colorado.
 But piloting a motorcycle from tn ring to the bottom of the yawninl lchasm, difficult as it is, is childs pla, when compared to the grief a ride must go through to get out again. | Hogg, however, was master and afte lanother two days terrific grind, i which he fought foot by foot up tn rugged floor of the incline, replete wit Jagged boulders and clumps of thorn cactus, pulled up at the trading post a Peach Springs-the first man to put motorcycle to the bottom of the Gran Canyon and back again.
 Hogg's feat is the more remarkabl when it Is considered that despite tn terrific strain on the machine and it tires not a single instance of troubl , was experienced, either tire or me chanical.
 At no time during the trip was toe touched to the sport model, for it performance was perfect, the onl
 damage sustained being a couple (
 battered footboards and a few dent
 in the engine base shield.
 The Goodyear tires bore Hogg fror

Trailer Is Helping Unit For Truck
 Says R. D. Roper

''The present trend of transportation is trailerward Trailers lie in the path of evolution. Just as the truck followed the advent of the passenger car, so will the trailer become the in- dispensible helping unit of the truck. Rising costs of transportation and la bor have spurred the leading trailer manufacturers on to the production of better products" declares R. D. Roper of the R. D. Roper Motor company, distributors of Utility trailers.
 ''The farmer. the tradesman, the merchant and the manager of the cor poration using transportation facilities need only to study the records of the trailerized transportation to be con Vinced of the vast savings available. Taking as an example the transporta- tion of a ten ton load, the comparison of hauling with and without a trailer shows a net saving of 59 per cent in favor of the trailer This saving is not based on merely office made records, but by actual road records which can be verified.
 .rThe average cost of a five ton truclz is S475O Its cost of operation. figuring 60 miles per day and 300 day. per year is S1S.25 per day. This in 1 cludes fuel driver, depreciation, etc. It can therefore be seen that to han dle 10 tons under like conditions would l involve an investment of S9,500 and l s3650 per day expenses. But with a ! Utility trailer onEy the one truck is necessary, the extra driver is elim- | mated and the 10 ton load is hauled 50 miles for s21.53 which includes the
 total expenses and depreciations on
 both the truck and the trailer.
 This is but one example and it is
 based on a conservative record. Users
 of smaller trailers can earn proportion ate savings Utility trailers are man ufactured in 2S standard models, a size ] to meet every narticular requirements..

LITTLE ROCK LETTER
lBy Clio Harper.

Little Rock, May 16.-There are
 20 bills pending in Congress with
 reference to the application of fed
 eral aid to public highways. The
 whole question seems to be very
 much confused and the situation has
 not been clarified by the situation
 in Arkansas. Tn fact, the Arkansas
 situation seems to be one of the
 bones of contention and to be furn-
 ishing more material than that
 of any other state for carrying on
 the controversy. Many of the state
 ments made with reference to Ar
 kansas are incorrect or grossly ex-
 aggerated. For instance, the state
 ment has been made by some au
 thority in Washington that federal
 aid is likely to be withdrawn from
 Arkansas because the projects aided
 have not been maintained The act ual facts are that the projects cited by the government constitute only 2.23 per cent of the total mileage.
 One of the bills, htat prepared by the legislative committee of the American Association of State High | way officials provides that the states must match dollar for dol | lar the money given by the gov .ernment and that the federal aid | must be spent on state and inter ! state trunk lines and not on liter I als. It is also provided by all bills pending in Congress that there must be provision for the adequate main
 tenance of state roads. This is one of the features of road development in Arkansas which has not been at all times taken care of.
 The State Highway Department of all the states are unanimously behind President Harding's demand for continued federal cooperation with the states in the building of highways. President Harding made the statement in his message that:
 With the principle of federal participation acceptably established, probably never to be abandoned, it Is important to exert federal in- fluence in developing comprehen- siwe plans looking to the promotion of commerce and apply our ex- penditnnes in the surest way to guarantee public return for money 
 It is in keeping with this general policy that President Harding ap- proved the plans for systems of highways covering the entire coun- ] try to be built by federal and state money. !
 The state highway officials are ] not so much concerned about who . shall administer the duties, as they are that the government shall rec ognize the fact that it is as much 3 federal function to cooperate with the states in road building as it is for the states to aid their minor [ We have passed the period in our national life when it i should be necessary to prove that highways are arteries of trade of national importance.
