IDEAL CAMP P|NG !. BED EQU|PM MEN
 NOW AVAILABLE

Nowadays almost everyone goes camping in an automobile. In fact, more people than ever before are now able to enjoy the wonderful trips which Arizona offers because of the automobile. Out of the way places are reached quicker and at less ex- pense. Verify, camping has been re- duced to a science. Every want of the camper has been anticipated, every article has been made with the thought in mind of packing it away into the smallest space and with the minimum amount of weight Conse- quently more articles can be carried in the automobile for comforts sake and as a result camping is now pos sible for all who ride in machine, says l.. H. Sorey. manager of the Western Auto Supply company, who have one of the most complete auto camping departments in the West.
 "Take. for example, the auto bed and tent. It is made so that it can be set up in a couple of minutes. has a bed for two people and gives ample standing room beside the bed. The walls, top and side curtains are made of a heavy water proof material. The curtain drops down between the tent and car, closing the tent on all sides.
 No longer do automobile campers have to look about for ideal camping spots and sheltered places to pitch their tent The automobile has taken the place of the shelter and besides supports the tent.
 Gasoline stoves are in common use and these save the oftentimes hardship of procuring dry wood and besides are always ready to burn the minute a match is applied.
 Electric torches and lamps are carried by the majority of motorists in place of candles and oil lamps oi old Many other items. all to make camping easier. have been invented but they are far too numerous te mention. It is almost unbelievable when you learn of all the camping ia cilities which have been thought oi to make camping as easy as possible and we have them all, those neces- sary for the picnic or the months vacation outing.
 Before you take your next triI back into the hills or to the coast drop in and let us show you how tt simplify your next camping motor trip,' advises MT. Sorey.

GOODYEAR GETS b|G ORDER FUR
 J. ]. A|RCRAF I

Regardless of the outcome of the spirited controversy now raging over the comparative advantages of air craft and battleships as America S first line of defense. both the United States army and navy are to have ~.ore lighter -than-air ships-orders for three large dirigibles and 3S ob- servation balloons having just been placed with The Goodyear Tire and Rubber company, Akron. Ohio.
 P. k- Coe, manager aeronatic sales at Les Angeles announces that two patrol and scouting airships of 1S0,- coo feet gas capacity will be built for the navy and will be completed next spring. A dirigible of similar size but of special Goodyear design will be completed for the army by Mo- venber. All three will be tested at the Coodyear-Akron air station
 The military airship to be built for the army will have many new feat ures of design that makes it the most up-to-date craft in either arm of the service. It will be the first dfrigible in America to have its mo- tors in the car instead of in separate power units Two propellers will be 0Ilttn Dl bcfti 6CdtS eil d lWO tO one ratio with transmission placed on i outriggers instead of the motors driving direct to shafts. This will allow the engines to run while the propeliers are idle by throwing out clutches, and will also permit pro- pellers to be reversed-a new feature that will permit greater facility in landing. Either motor can drive both propellers in the event that one motor develops trouble. With both motors inboard. they can be over hAuled in flight much easier than if they were on outriggers, as in the present types of airship.
 The army ship will be ITO feet long and 45 feet in diameter. It will be powered by two 125 horsepower aeromarine motors which will oper- ate at 1900 revolutions per minute, but owing to the reduction gear, the propellers will make but 800 revolu- sions per minute, giving greater ef- ficiency at higher speeds. A speed of 60 miles an hour is expected. The ships ceiling" is 10000 feet.
 -The gas bags will be of pony blimp ehApe- fatter' than other types thus decreasing head resistance.
 The car will be entirely enclosed and will house a crew of six, although for peace time purposes.
 The army will use this airship probably for border patrol, while the two navy ships will be used for scouting and observation.

TRANSPORTATION OF ARMY TRUCKS
 BEING OPPOSED

General support for Joint resolu- tion introduced in congress by Repre- sentative Graham of Illinois should Dc given by the automotive trade in Graham's effort to keep out of the American market trucks of American manufacture which were sold as sur plus war material in Europe, and then reshipped to this country by for eign syndicates, who purchased the vehicles at ridiculously low prices, says bulletin of the N. A. D. A.
 Graham's resolution would impose duty of 800 per cent on such trucks The \. A. D. A. already has wired Graham that it Is ready to help in any way it can to assist the measure
 The resolution is the result of the campaign that has been carried on by the National Automobile Dealers association for the last four months among the automotive organizations of the country protesting against the dumping of these vehicles upon the American market at a time when the truck business is dragging bottom. Hundreds of resolutions have been sent to congressman and senators that such a procedure will work ir- remediable injury to the truck mar ket

PACKARD TRUCK [ EMPL DYED IN
 UNIQUE STUNT

DETROIT, Mich, July 30-The De- troit department of public wDrks has found a new use for motor truck. Opening and closing the big water gates in the 4S-inch mains in the city requires mugh hard work. From four to eight men were formerly em- ployed by tho water commission to perform this work. If the gates were in good working order, four men could do the job, but if they hap pened to be somewhat stiff it took eight men to get them started. Ere quently the gates could not be closed until thousands of gallons of water had been wasted.
 Recently a two-ton Packard truck owned by the water commission was equipped with a power key, designed to open and close the water gates. The truck is capable of speed of 20 miles an hour, and the power key is operated by a take-off from the transmission.
 Only two men are required on the truck in it's daily work. It reaches the gate boxes quickly and shuts off the water in fraction of the time required by men operating a hand key.

FOR TUMMY ACHE.
Analysis Shows No Signs Of
Contamination
AIRY
4.I4 vRT OF LABORATORY
Officials Take Steps to Refute
Pernicious and Annoy
ing RumOrs
4,44 oRT OF LABORATORY

During the last three weeks there
have been persistent rumors that sus.
picion attaches to the water in the
village reservoir. 1t is impossible to
determine how the suspicion originat-
ed but the rumor is in existence and
seems to be growing with the rising
OF the sun each morning.
From the opening of the door in the
morning until the closing hour in the
late afternoon the telephone bell in
the village clerk continues to ring and
anxious and worried women ON the
other line are shooting in inquiries in
regard to tno village water.
According to these interrogators
there are anywhere from six to 20
cases Of typhoid fever in the village
Regardless OF the fact that local ply
sicians are unable to remember when
the disease last visited the village.
Another variation of the rumor is that
the Putnam Memorial hospital is full
OF patients all made i'll by Bennington
village wafer.
No one is able to account for rumors
Of this nature that are prevalent
about as frequently as new moon
appears on the evening horizon. SEN
sible people don't try to account for
them; they just cuss EN-.
About ten days ago the continued
annoyance got on the nerves Of the
Village clerk and he secured samples
of water from the reservoir and sent
them to the state laboratory in Bur
lington. Between jinglings Of his
telephone bell he has worked on his
books and has looked longingiy
through his mail for an analysis re-
port that would enable him to refute
some OF the weird tales that came
over the wire. Nothing came, and at
last losing patience, the clerk and Dr..
J.. II. Ross, president Of the board or
water commissioners, this morning
telephoned to the laboratory and re-
ceiyed just what they had expected TO
receive. statement that the water
in t1e village reservoir was absolutely
all right.
The officials at the laboratory tele-
phoned that an analysis OF the water
samples had been made and that the
water had been found to be absolutely
pure and free from contamination OF
any kind. ..
1t is a fact that there have been
in Bennington the usual number OF
cases of intestinal trouble, a condi-
ton that annually arrives with green
corn. pears, peaches and incidentally
apples with white seeds. Some OF the
patients have uncomfortably sick but
not alarmingly so. With the arrival
Of the report from the laboratory 1t Is
hoped that our ailmg residents WIZ
change their, .tummy aches TO some
thing other than the village water
because the water has been given
clean bill OF health.
