 All roads in Cochise county fast night were reported in good shape with the exception of the roads in the northern part of the county which are rough and soft on account of the re- cent rains. No heavy rains were re- ported last night in the southern part of the county and the motorists will find it good going in all directions to- day. The warm weather of the past few days has dried up the mud in some of the bad places reported last week
 The roads west from Tucson to Phoenix were reported in good shape last night, but west of Phoenix on all routes there is considerable mud.
 The ferry at Blythe is now running again. The road to Parker, from raoe- nix is very rough in some places with plenty of mud. The bridge across the Rillito, west of Tucson 6n the road to Casa Grande, is now open to light travel. It is necessary to ford the Rillito on the road to Florence and Winkleman. Work has been. started on the repairing of this bridge which was washed out a few weeks ago.

Close Connection
 Between Tires And Springs Is Shown

There is very close relationship between proper care of-the springs ;n an automobile and the millage which the motorist receives from his tires.
 'troperly adjusted, well fabricated springs will mean longer life to tires anu Lo the enLre CaI, while cracAed or neglected brings will cause rapId ueIeiIUrdLIon CT engine, body anu tlres,' says Walter Lantoiu, local Gdtes dealer.
 Many motorists believe that if they make cursory eXamlnatlon Of the tread ana outer sidewalks o1 d tire, they are taking ample precau:rU-s aganst undue wear and tire trouble. ct there are many other things to which the average driver pays little attention which have a direct bearing on the service he gets from his tires.
 Improperly adjusted brakes, care less driving, overlooking, under-intla- ton and last, but not least, Duo springs Will all strip dollars off the tires every time the car is driven.
 Springs are placed in d car not only to make it more comfortable to ride in, but also to take up a major part of the road shocks, and prevent racking of the various parts When there is shock, such as comes when a wheel hits a rough spot in the road, the tires get it first. Then follow shocks to the wheels, axel, body, oc- cupants and motor, with the springs in between to take up as much as pos sible.
 When the springs fail to function properly, all the shock has to be talk en up through the tires, both in the initial shock and in the natural re- bound
 fabrication of the springs is not difficult, and labor expended in this task will pay big, returns. One of the best means is dismantling the springs, and lubricating them with graphite grease.

Italian Inventors
 Offer New Fuel As
 Substitute For Gas

ROME, Aug. 27. - Through the in vention of d gas generating mixture composed of alcohol and sulphur carbon combination, the cost of oper- ating automobiles and all internal combustion motors, can be reduced one-half, according to the claims of Engineer Sesti. who after exhaustive experiments under the auspiCies of the Italian government has just com pleted a report on the possibilities of the new combustion.
 The use of the new gas generating mixture pre-supposes the employment of special kind of carburetor, which Signor Sesti has evolved.
 The experiments have been in pro- gress over a period of almost three years, and were begun with q speclai view of lessening the cost of auto mobile fuel.
 The new fuel has d density greater than that of gasoline in the ratio of 925 to 730. It is urged that the adop- tion of the fuel will considerably les sen the importations of foreign gaso- line. Practically all the raw materials necessary for the new fuel can be found in Italy.
 The inventor claims that the eX- haust gas is less obnoxious to the lungs than the fumes of gasoline.
 The use of crude alcohol to the pro- portion of 70 per cent is employed in the fuel while the remaining 30 per cent is taken up by the sulphur car bon combination. q,

How To Get Best Results Out Of Your Battery

Most cases of battery trouble, say service men, are due to neglect in testing and filing" said Sid Wright, of Wright x Wright, Willard Service Station. Testing the storage bat tery every two weeks with a hydro meter keeps the car owner in con- stant touch with the condition of the part of the car. Keeping the battery IIlled with pure distilled water avoids the probability Of destroying the bat tery plates by overheating.
 There is no need of worrying about the acid in the battery. That is constant, being either in the fluid or Tn the pIates. It is the amount of wa ter Tn Ine case that should be watch ed. 1t should always cover the plates or only the submerged parts or the plates will be active. Which means more current going into less plate surface and less current going out
 "Wnen the battery is hot, il is eith- CT untliied or it is overcharged. If it Is found to be full, the remedy is to tu1n on the lights so that this extra load might be taken off the battery. The hydrometer, which registers the specific gravity of each cell, should snow 1.2S5 or higher
 'To relieve the battery of as much work as possible in starting, the spark should be retarded and the starter button should get only sin gle short pressure. If the engine fails to start, the button may be pressed again.
 A clean and dry battery also means q long-lived battery. Every time it is filled it should be wiped clean of moisture and dust

5800 BUCKS ARE . SHIPPED IN F
 WORKING DAYS
635 Cars Sent Out From Fac tory on August 3; Aver
 age Is 463 Cars

Five thousand eight hundred Buick cars were shipped from the factories at Flint, Michigan, in twelve shipping days of the first half of August, ac- cording to announcement by the Buick Motor company. This figure represents an average daily shipment of 4S3 13 cars of all models.
 High point shipping days were Au- gust 3, when 625 cars leIt the factory and August 15, when 654 were placed in transit. Of the 634 cars shipped August 15, total of 6l5 were loaded in box cars, representing POI box cars loads of Buicks.
 Following upon the excellent sales results ana dellveries accomplished in June and July, the Buick company re- gards the shipment of $500 cars Ill the tlrst F shipplng days of August as a positive indication of the healthy condition of the automobile industry The figures are additionally signiti- cant in that they represent not only a well maintained but a steadily in- creasing demand from the purchasing public.
 Buick's production schedule for August was set at 12,000 cars and the factory manufacturing records indi- cate the company is swinging along at a pace which will more than meet this schedule.

 Then the car is pushed forward over a pit in the concrete floor in which there are a number of perfor- ated pipes. Alongside the car are also a series of similar waterpipes which spray water under pressure over each wheel.
 When the water is turned on and the air pressure applied, the water is driven in finest reams all over the running gear and underside of the machine. This softens and loosens all the dirt, mud and grease on the chassis.
 Then the car is moved forward where other workmen go over the run ming gear thoroughly with rubber hoses equipped with supplementary air pressure which are suspended at regular intervals from the ceiling of

Washing Cars With Aid Compressed Air Is Newest Method

A new. effective, rapid and inex pensive method of washing automo piles has been devised by the use oi compressed air to regulate the force 1 under which the water is applied in removing the mud, dust and grease from the motor car.
 A nozzle is used which consists of 3-8-inch pipe about feet long that has two separate passages unuer in. dividual valve control. One valve ad. mits the water supply from the city main while the other, which is at tached to the nozzle at an angle, ad- mits the compressed air.
 The operator turns on the water and then regulates the air valve un- tilt he desired pressure is obtained. This system is especially efficacious in removing grease and grime which accumulate on the axles, springs, shackles and steering knuckles which is almost impossible to remove by hand.
 Furthermore, after a car is wash ed, the attendants can go u-cr the car with the water shut off using the compressed air which ranges from 5U to 125 pounds pressure per square inch, to blow out all the water from the joints and cracks
 two-cylinder compressor of 7% inches bore driven by 20 horse pow CT oil engine is ordinarily sufficient to maintain the air pressure at 100 to 125 pounds in tank feet in diame- ter and feet long. The car to be washed is first cleaned thoroughly by the use of compressed air, which re- moves all dust and dirt from the cush-
