most of which were calculated to give
1t easier riding qualities and greater
endurance under the stress of speed.
The Romans made great progress in
the development of the chariot, later
inventing a four wheeled carriage.
We are told that decoration was used
so lavishly on these and the two
wheeled types that laws were passed
restricting the use of ornament on
them
While this development was in
progress Oriental nations had made
use Of litters for centuries previous.
These litters were carried on two
poles, either by two mules or by
men. The two wheeled cart or
ricksha made it's appearance in time
in these countries and is still used
very generally in China and Japan.
One Of the earliest of European
vehicles was the whirlicote, or cot

mother used one Of these in 1880.

COLORADO SHOWS
ARIZONA VALUE
OF TOURISTS
Receipts Jump To Over
S35,OO0,OOO During Past
Year In Sale Of Retail
Staples

AS an indication Of the vaiue Of
tourist travel to community, fig
ures have Just been received from
the Denver Civic and Commercial as
sociation covering the amount spent
in the state of Colorado during the
past few years by the tourists. This
amount Is unbelievably large, and
the statistics will certainly act as
an eye-opener to Arizona, giving an
indication of what can be accom-
plished by this state along the lines
of tourist entertainment during the
next few years.
The report states that tourists in
1876 spent approximately five mill
lion dollars IN Colorado and that last
year the toulIst crop running in the
neighborhood Of 100000 bu auto and
rail, the receipts OF camps, hotels
and retail sales in general amounted
to the immense sum Of S35000,000.
Retail. shopping in Colorado, states
the bureau, formerly centered in In
dian curios. In 1921 when 65 per
cent of the travel IA national parks
and forests, together with resort
places was by private automobile. the
sales included staples and accesso-
ries on a large scale. The bureau
reports that August, formerly the
business mans dullest month, now
ranks next to December. the heaviest
month in point of sales.
Only recently it seems has Arizo-
ma shown any disposition to awake
from its slumbers and go after the
tourist business. Possessed OF much
ore scenic attractiveness than Col
orado, a better climate, good hotels
and accommodations, there exists no
reason why his state should remain
in the background as a tourist resort,
while Califo MIA and Colorado rake
in the cash taking care of the great
numbers of people who seek recrea-
tion and rest.
The movement "See Arizona First"
while necessarily limited in scope, did
much to awaken the people OF Ari-
zona 70 the need Of seeing their own
state and spending their money at
home. Now that this movement
seems fair to become a yearly insti-
tuition every means should be taken
to see that Arizona Is advertised
throughout the East and Middle West
as tourists playground. The Grand
Canyon, Petrified Forest, Cliff
Dwellings, Ancient Ruins. Spanish
Missions, Indian reservations. White
Mountains and the works of modern
man all combine e. produce more
real attraction than either Califor-
MIA or Colorado can offer. We're
simply asleep at the switch. that's
all.
Preparations should be started and
soon by the automobile men and ey-
cry other len of business as far as
that is concerned, to determine on
a campaign to advertise the attrac-
tiveness Of this state from a touring
standpoint. The tourist bureau Of
The Denver Civic and Commercial
association states that in seven years
1T distributed fret literature to an
amount which IL stacked in q pile
would be is times the height of the
Eiffel tower in Paris and % times
as high as the Woodwork building
in New York City. However, such
stupendous efforts would be out of
the question for some time to come
for Arizona, but ways and means
can certainly be arrived at to secure
some of the great tourist business
that now passes around this state.

PAY ATTENTION
TO WATERING
YOUR BATTERY

During dry weather look your bat
terry over at least once every two
weeks" advises Morgan Motor serv-
ice, local dealers in Westinghouse
batteries. "A great deal OF trouble
can be avoided if the motorist makes
sure that the electrolyte in his bat
terry is high enough. Naturally, in
dry weather the water evaporates
more quickly than in wet weather
Motorists are frequently stalled out
in the open road without a working
battery simply because they have
been careless about filling the bat
terry often enough.
Not only is it inconvenient to find
ones battery gone dry but 1t abuses
the battery. With the attention that
Is possible for every motorist, what
ever his make of battery may be, at
our service station, where pure dis
titled water is available at all times,
free Of charge, there is no excuse for
local auto drivers getting into this
kind Of trouble. If they make 1t a
point to drive in at a service station
at least once in two weeks and let an
experienced battery man give their
battery a drink, they will find the
service a wise precaution.
"The battery isn't like the gasoline
tank. When a motorist starts on a
long trip he fills his tank brimming
full. In the belief that the long trip
requires a full battery way to the
top too.
when one fills his own battery
one should be careful not to fill 1t
too full. Gas is formed when a bat
terry is charging. There must be room
for this gas TO expand and escape
When a battery is filled to the top
with water there is no room for eX-
pansion. The result is that the gas
forces the electrolyte out with il.
Then 1t is not long before the battery
has lost all its acid and II is trying
futilely to work only on water. The

developed. This led to the invention
OF the elliptical spring. which was in
vented in 1904 by Elliot, a coach
maker of Lambeth, and for which he
was awarded the gold medal by the
Society of Arts. Modern methods of
carriage building started from this
point and fashion and utility brought
forth many new ideas. The two
seated open carriage with open hoods,
called Victorias, came into style and
the Vis-a-vis, an open carriage with
a canopy and capable of seating four
people comfortably. was also popular.
In this type the coachman and the
groom rode on an additional seat.
The landau was a large carriage
FOR four passengers. 1t boasted of a
TOP which folded back, transforming
1t from a closed carriage to an open
one. The brougham, rockaway and
wagonette were subsequent types, the
later day coupe being a transforma-
ton of the brougham. The German
and Russian droschke was a modified
form of the cabriolet. The chaise was
two wheeled covered carriage.
Nehlcles used extensively for pub
Tic transportation comprised the cab,
stagecoach and omnibus. The intro
auction OF the steam railroad and the
street railway decreased the use of
those types of coaches until the mo-
tor vehicle was invented. Before this
happened, however rubber tires were
IN general use on carriages and
coaches.
The automobile originated in
France. although around 1850 Sir
isaac Newton and others were work
ing on ideas for mechanical vehicles

enough, the steamer was the first
successful car evolved. However. the
development of the steamer ceased
about 1886 and was not again taken
up untll in 1894, when the real period
OF automobile development was start
ed. In 1885 George Selden was
granted a patent covering the novel
IDEA of internal combustion as applied
TO an engine and there soon sprang
INTO existence the various units COM
monty known today in the gasoline
vehicle.
With the development Of the motive
power plants in automobiles came the
coach builders art, and step by step
the automobile has become an equi-
page of comfort and luxury as well as
of speed and reliability. In the last
few years, automobile manufacturers
have We'd with one another 10 pro-
duce quality in motor coach design
and construction, while at the same
time making an effort by means of
enlarged production and distribu-
tion to hold the price down. This has
resulted I'm many fine examples of
closed vehicles to be seen on the
streets and highways Of today.
The latest creation in moderate
priced automobile coaches to make its
appearance on the market is the Es-
sex coach, shown in the picture. the
product of Essex Motors of Detroit.
This coach has just arrived in Phoe-
nix. The BODY is built in a special
body plant and the coach is now be-
ing manufactured on a big production

The history of transportation is al

The history Of transportation is al
most as old as man himself. AT least,
since man became to any extent civil
lized, he made use of various crude
inventions which served the purpose
of transporting objects. We read
these days of the first efforts made
by man to facilitate the movement
of the things he wished to move, and
step by step we can trace the various
improvements and inventions, made
by the human race along the lines
of better transportation.
In Egypt the earliest recorded evil
dence that methods OF transporta-
tion were commencing to be thought
Of were pictures of siedges inscribed
on the monuments. 1t is thought
that for the purpose of moving the
great blocks of which the pyramids
are constructed rollers were used, and
possibly a combination of rollers and
sledges. Later, the trunks of large
trees were sawed crosswise and these
disks used for wheels, being connect
ed by the small trunk of a tree to
serve as an axle. Later, spokes were
invented to displace the solid wheel.
Vehicles were drawn by animals
very soon after the horse and OK We're
domesticated, according to authori-
ties on the subject. With the use OF

DODGE BROTHERS
TAXI ATTRACTS
MUCH ATTENTION

In the June issue of Taxi News, a
copy OF which has just been received
by Macarthur Brothers, some very in
teresting news concerning the Dodge
Brothers Taxi is to be found. The
article is as follows:
"The power plant OF the Dodge
Brothers motor car is of the unit
type - with three-point suspension.
This suspension Is very care
fully worked out in such a
way that it maintains marvellous rig
tdity, yet 1t is easily disconnected.
The line, which is so important in
the various units, Is at all times
maintained. The engine is of the
well known IL head type developing
80 to 35 horse power, which is plenty
for any taxi man. The bore is 37s
by 4R Inch stroke, compression 65
pounds per square inch. At 435 r. p.
NJ. the engine will give speed of 10
miles per hour on direct drive. The
cylinders are cast in block. The cool
ing system is unusually well thought
out. The cylinder head Is removable.
giving quick access to pistons and
valves, and allowing a speedy clean
ing Of carbon or grinding of valves.
The crankshaft is wonderfully strong,
being drop forged from a solid bar of
steel. All bearings are hardened and
ground. The connecting rod bearings
are 15s inches in diameter and rs
inches long.
The main bearings are l q inches
IN diameter, the front one being
2 1854 inches long, the center "a
inches long and the rear one 2 1854
inches long. These large size bear
ipgs give immense wearing quality.
Sld, in addition, the Dodge people
Carry out the best known process in
regard to bearings, for we find upon
inspection that all their motor bear
ings are bronze shells with babbitt
lining. This process is the only prac-
tical one for the taxi man for we
have found by experience that a cast
babbitt bearing is not practical, it
wears fast and quickly assumes an
oval shape in addition to which the
fillets frequently break away, this
means a complete motor overhauling
and an expensive one for the unfor-
tunate taxi man. This is all avoided
ln the Dodge Brothers Taxi.
"Oil is thoroughly filtered in the
bottom of the oil pan before it is
drawn into the pump. Streams Of
clean oil are constantly driven to
an the bearings.
The cooling system is remarkably
well thought out and is just what a
Arizona republican., 1922-01-15

taxi man needs, for as the old timer
said, NO cooling, no car The car
duration is very reliable and econom-
ical and is especially adapted to a
quick getaway and great economy.
The ignition system is well thought
out gives great satisfaction, and is
a model of simplicity. The lighting
consists of two headlights, a tail
lamp, instrument board lamp, and
two side lamps. The head lights can
be swung around TO any focus, and
can be so turned to be used for ex-
amining engine or front or rear
wheels which is a mighty fine thing
for a fellow who has to change q
tire on a dark night. The starting
system is unusually reliable and SIM
pie. The clutch has seven discs of
the dry, disc type. The transmission
is of a very simple design of the Sc
lective, sliding gear type three speeds
forward and reverse, all gears being

shafts especially heat treated. 1t is
unusually silent.
THE breaking system so important
to q taxi man, is very speedy and
positive, and yet wonderfully simple.

with spiral, bevel- driving gear and
pinion. Eight large roller bearings
are used. Very accessible. Wheels
Of the finest seasoned hickory with
demountable rims. Steering gear of

front axle is steel I-beam. The frame
is Of high-grade. carbon steel, rein

members exclusive of the rear engine
