Cochise. County Roads

All roads in Cochise county yester-
day were reported in good shape.
There were no heavy rains during the
past week to do any damage. The
roads in the valley off of the central
highway are somewhat rough from
previous rains but are in the main in
good shape. -
Crews are working on the road
from Tombstone to Benson and have
filled in a number of wash crossings.
The Walnut Gulch crossing, which
was in bad shape, has been filled in
but is little soft until it gets packed
down. A crew is also working on the
Tombstone-Charleston road and will
soop. have that road in good ,condi-
ton again. s. s.:
The most important road announce
ment of the past week was that of the
state taking, over the maintenance OF
the highway between here and Tomb,
stone and putting ]. c. Chadwick in
charge. Chadwick was in charge OF
the work when the road was built and
for the past six years has been en-.
gagged in building roads in Cochise,
Pima and Santa Cruz counties. He
will have fuH equipment at work on
the road the early part of this week
and will soon have the worst parts of
the. road in good shape and in time
will have it ip the shape that it was
when it was first built.
Mr.. Henning, who has been work
ipg in the canyon keeping up the Bis.
bee end of the highway, is to be re-
tanned by the state and will continue
to have charge of the same section
of the highway.

"GhOst Punctures"
Can Be Prevented
Says Gates Agent

Did you ever have a series of mys-
FERROUS punctures, for which you could
find no apparent cause, such as tire
going flat while standing still in the
garage?
In many cases a tiny piece of dirt
or stone, inside the casing will wear
through the tube, and the tire will go
flat suddenly without apparent cause.
These and many other similar
causes have caused the Gates Rubber
company, of Denver, represented IN
the Warren District by Walter Lam
ford, to draft series OF rules for the
care of tires and tubes when will go
far to eliminate these ghost pune
lures" Following are some OF them:
Use great care in placing the tube
, in the tire. Be sure it is straight and
even. Every tube, before it is placed
inside tire, should be well covered
with a lubricant, preferably soapstone.
This will prevent any internal fric-
ton. Remember, however, that the
soapstone must be evenly distributed
over the tube and inside the casing.
Before placing a tube inside cas-
ing, make certain that there is no dirt
or other foreign substance which VIII
rub against the tube. This constant
irritation and friction may in time
wear a hole through the tube. Wipe
out the interior with damp clotf
before shaking in the lubricant.
In case of mysterious SLOW leak,
examine the valve core. A drop Of
| oil-no more-inside the valve may
cure the case Immediately.

DEPLETED FORCES RENEW
 AUTOMOBILE PLANT WORK

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 4.-"Despite the fact that several Detroit auto mobile plants re-opened yesterday after inventory, they did so with vastly decreased forces and 100000 fewer men are employed here now than was the case two weeks ago." George W. Grant, secretary of the Employers Association of Detroit, said today. "A net increase of only 1000 men has been added to the working forces of the factories in the past few days" Mir Grant said.
 Mir. Grant stated surveys conclud- ed today showed only about fifty thousand automobile workers ems ployed in Detroit at present In nor nal times the number employed here is about 300,000, he said. The clos ing of the Ford and Dodge factories here have swelled the number of un- employed during the past two weeks, Mir. Grant said.
 'The plants here that have re- opened this week made only a start" Mir. Grant said, in answering rumors that the industrial situation was brightening here.
 The association secretary refused 
 to predict when local factories would take back large number of men, although he said months would be required to bring the industry back to normal.
 Rumors that the Ford plant was to reopen this week were denied by company officials, who pointed out that their men had been told the factories probably would be idle for the remainder of the month.

GIVE THE IMMIGRATION
 BILL A THOROUGH PROBE
Senate Committee to Hear Officials Versed in European Con-
 ditiOns

Washington, Jan. 4.-Government officials possessing the most accurate knowledge of European conditions will be called to testify by the sen- ate committee on immigration before 1t submits any recommendation for prohibiting or restricting immigra- ton to the United States. Senator Colt, of Rhode Island, chairman of the committee, announced that Com missioner Wallis of the Ellis Island station, would be heard tomorrow and other government officials would be heard later.
 A dozen opponents of the Johnson bill prohibiting immigration for, one year were heard today. All united in a vigorous attack upon it and the other bills covering the subject now pending before the committee and denied recent statements by oppon- ents of the Johnson bill that a flood of undesirable aliens is about to sweep the United States from Flu rope and that emergency legislation IS vital for the protection of the country.
 Chairman Colt said the committee would press for information to deter mine whether an emergency actually existed sufficient to warrant the en- actment of laws closing American ports to immigration.

FAVOR REQUESTING
 ' THE COMMISSION
Taxpayers Meet at Hagen and Adopt Resolutions Supporting
 Governor -elect McRae.

Hagen, Jan. 3.-At meeting of taxpayers here today, Senator Walls and Representative W. H. Gregory were requested, in resolution adopt ed unanimously, to support Governor elect McRae in his efforts to abolish the Arkansas Corporation Commis- sion. Another resolution was passed asking the members of the legisla- ture to use their influence in having two special road districts placed un- der the jurisdiction of the county court, the present commissioners re- moved and others appointed. Another resolution commended Senator Walls for using his influence to defeat seven proposed special road district bills at the last special session.
 Representative Gregory addressed the meeting and endorsed the McRae program. He criticised the special road district legislation and the pres ent administration, which, he said, was attempting to force the incom- ing legislature to retain the Arkan- sas Corporation Commission in spite of the will of the Democrats, as ex- pressed in the election of MT. McRae and the Democratic platform.
