CHOOSE WOCO PEP
Renters of New Fords Will
Be "WocomobiIing,"
Says Mr.. John
w. Black

woco Pep has been chosen as the
motor fuel to be used in the fleet
of new Ford cars operated by the
Drive-It-Yourself company at it's
new Fifth avenue place, according to
announcement OF John w. Black, vice
president and manager of the COM
pany.
Officials of the wofford Oil com
pany, marketers of Woco Pep. were
pleased with the decision of the
Drive It-Yourself company to use
their motor fuel, even in the face
of the slightly higher price for which
Woco Pep is selling at the present
time.
I'VE consider this decision of Mr..
Blacks just another proof of the fact
that Woeo Pep motor fuel is worth
cents more per gallon than other
motor fuels and Mr.. Black VIII find,
as other operators of fleets of cars
have found, that Woco Pep will be
the most economical and most salts
factory motor fuel he could choose"
said Charles H. Armstrong of the
Wofford organization.
Under the Drive-It- Yourself sys-
TEN, the Ford cars Will be subjected
to all manner of treatment by both
experienced and inexperienced
drivers. none of them acquainted
with the cars which they operate.
and the fact that Woco Pep always
shows a saving under these condi
lions is a strong argument for its
efficiency"

AMERICAN CARS FOLLOW

European motorists frequently de-

SALESMAN FINDS
OVERLAND CAR To
Be ECO N ON | GAL.

C. c. Wheat, a travelling salesman
of Yakima, Wash. is a big booster
of the Overland touring car as a
means of economical transportation.
II have gotten as high as 81 miles
per gallon of gas and $4,000 miles on
a set of tires" says Mr.. Wheat. The
good record mentioned was over
mountain road with more or less sec
ond gear work. The tire mileage
was almost altogether on Yakima
roads.
Records like these are quite i'm
portant to anyone who is attempting
to keep travelling expenses down. l

ity.

lover a number of years I am
satisfied that it is possible to operate
an Overland for less than cents per
mile. 1 have been able to do con-
siderably better than that but my
car, after three years of use has not
come anywhere near covering its ul-
innate mileage, although l drive it
daily in my business.

us, but when 1t comes to chassis, de-
sign and construction and values due
to manufacturing methods. America
leads the world.
II took a Paige Csc to Europe
with me and drove about $500 miles
in Great Britain and on the continent.
Roads are generally excellent every
where, but there are so many that
seem to be laid out over ancient cow
paths, with numerous hairpin turns
and stiff grades, that the superior
performing powers, sponsiveness
and control OF the American car
make profound impression on Eu-
ropean motorists and this fact ac-
counts largely for the prestige our
products have won abroad.
Visiting world famed European
automobile factories, l was greatly
Gratified with the interest shown in
the Paige and the enthusiasm of
European automotive engineers and
designers for some iof rs outstanding
mechanical features This enabled
me to enter into certain reciprocal
reiations-you might term it the
swapping OF ideas-which will prove
of Immediate and continued advan-
tage to Paige products.
In my judgment the ultimate au-
tomobile will be a combination of
the superior chassis features of the
best American cars and the finest
appointments and luxuries of body
of the best European cars. Such a
car will be offered at price made
possible only by years of experience,
unlimited facilities and the best OF
American production. Such car can
and will be produced"
As Mr.. Jewett's European trip was
generally known in the industry, the
temptation has proved irresistible in
some quarters to indulge in a GER
tain amount of prophesy concerning
probable Paige plans; but, while II
Is reasonable to suppose that event
ually there will be concrete evil
dence OF Mr.. Jewetts reaction to the
achievements of European designers
and engineers, Paige has made no
authoritative announcements.

Ne " FORD CARS.
To Ne VI BRANCH

The Ford cars that will be used
at the new branch OF the Saunders
Drive It-Yourself" company, which
opened yesterday at 1917 Fifth ave-
nue., were furnished by the Crawford
Auto shop. The cars are OF all types,
roadsters, touring cars, coupes, Sc
dams and trucks. Crawford has been
selling Ford cars to the Drlve-lt-
Yourself company ever since it first
began business in Birmingham some
three years ago and Harris Saunders
OF the "Drive-It'' company says
that the cooperation and service he
has received has always been of the
highest type. The Crawford concern
has experienced a splendid business
for the year and rounds out 1922 with
a brilliant record for both sales and
service.

PEERLESS MODELS
OFFER WIDE RANCE
Seven Closed Types Provide
Car For Every
Purpose

The fact that considerably more
than half the factorys production is
devoted to closed cars is
conclusive evidence that the Peer
less Motor Car company is fully alive
to the 1923 trend OF automobile BUY
ing.
The Peerless eight cylinder chas-
sis has become increasingly popular
since r. II. Collins and his asso-
ciates assumed control and inaugu-
rated sweeping mechanical changes.
and now that this powerful car is
available in seven different body
styles, the public is fast absorbing
the factory's output.
For the family of two. or the in
dividual who wants truly person
allied closed car there is the broad
|. ster coupe, furnishing exclusive
transportation for two persons, with
carrying space sufficient for the ac-
commodation of all the baggage need
ed for a transcontinental trip. 1t has
unique appeal for those desiring un-
usual beauty In coachwork. COM
bined with two passenger capacity.
The four passenger town coupe
has the conventional staggered scat
arrangement. and is intended to
serve the needs of the professional
man, or the busy woman who has
numerous household shopping and
social duties to meet.
In the four passenger suburban
coupe the passengers are seated in
natural, restful position, and have
an uninterrupted view on all sides and
TO the rear and front due to the IN
usual width of the plate glass win
dows. The two individual seats at
the front tip forward, allowing easy
entrance to the rear seat from either
side. A trunk is standard equip
ment with this car.
The practical utility of small
car and the luxurious comfort of a
sedan are combined in the new Peer
less five passenger town sedan. The
front seat, as we'll as the rear seat,
extends the full width of the car,
and the entrance is had to either
side of the front or rear seats
through one OF four wide doors. A
trunk IS also standard equipment on
this model
From the standpoint of reliability
beauty, economy and comfort, it Is
said that II would be difficult to con-
ceive OF more completely satisfying
motor vehicle for the successful
American family than the Peerless
passenger suburban sedan. L,

out, irrespective of varying weather
conditions. 1t actually seats seven
persons. The front compartment is
upholstered in genuine leather.

and compelling in Its bold. beauti-
full design. The brougham Is de-
signed to grace all occasions. no
matter how formal. and for this rea-

100 BOYS BUSY
TRAPPING GOPHERS

Reports from Chandler, Gilbert,
Mesa, Lehi. Glendale, Peoria and all
points in the county show that the
gopher trapping contest is on in ear
nest. At present there are close to
100 boys of the schools of Maricopa
county enlisted in the greatest gopher
trapping contest ever staged.
The bureau of biological survey
furnished each one Of the boys one
trap with instructions for setting.
In addition to this the boys are al
lowed to kill gophers in any man
ner they may choose. Some boys
are using the gopher's own habit in
catching them. The gopher is very
unsociable animal and lives entirely
alone. Taking advantage Of this
habit the boys catch one gopher alive
and tie a good stout cord around one
Of its hind legs and then put this
gopher into the runway Of another
gopher. There is soon fight on
and by pulling on the cord the boy
brings out two gophers. He kills
the one and uses his decoy to catch
another.
Drowning out gophers by irrigalng
is proving very successful to the boys
also and by the time the contest is
over 1t is estimated from present in
dications that there will be around
$4,000 to 100000 gopher tails to
count to determine who is champion

WILL GIVE
HUMOROUS LECTURE

Interest has been aroused by the
announcement that the Rev. John G..
Schmidt will give his famous humor-
Gus lecture, "Glimpses Of Dixie at )
o'clock tonight in the auditorium OF
the Adams school.
This is a humorous lecture. por-
traying many interesting and instruc-
tive incidents In the "old time reli-
gion" of the typical negro. The Rev,
John c. Schmidt was for many years
a missionary among the freedmen Of
the South, and is therefore qualified
like few others TO throw light on this
topic. He knows the negro and his
peculiar characteristics and knows
how to render his ludicrous tWang
in an inimitable manner.
In his entertaining discourse Pas
tor Schmidt tells his own experience
in way that commands the undi-
vlded interest and attention of ev-
eryone who hears him. The lecture
will be given under the auspices Of
the Young Peoples sociey of the Zion
Evangelical Lutheran church. Twen-
ty-five cents admission will be
charged for adults and 15 cents for
children.

outfits the mother ship. It is pro-
dieious gamble for all hands. An
almost naked Indian may work all
season for barely enough to pay his
frijole overhead during the winter.
Or the first oyster he opens OF his
tenth may net him pearl that VIII
make him rich for life.
At least that way the case until
the bottom fell out Of the pearl mar
ket. During that superb time OF
boom when war profiteers were
buying every sort of gaud that could
be hung about the necks of their
womenkind, La Paz had its especial
harvest. Ceylon and Borneo and the
eastern pearling ports took their pro-
fit also, but not to the extent OF
La Paz. The pearls of the east are
mostly white and pink, which are
precisely the sort most counterfeited,
especially by the alert Jap. who is a
pearl counterfeiter of parts. But
the waters south of La Paz produced
black pearls and brown pearls and
golden pearls of the most extraordi-
nary tints and lustres.
La Paz Different Now.
"They did not run as true in form
as the Borneo pearls" my pearling
acquaintance said. 'but their colors
could not be surpassed"
So that during the boom times La
Paz's streets ran with money. There
is a story of black pearl for which
an expeBt paid an Indian 100000.
Even If the price was but pesos the
prize was a great one. Every man
in La PaZ is connected in one way
or, another with pearling. Every
man there dives, has dived. or will
dive when he gets old enough. There
was little to spend the money for,
but tequille and roulette and poker
were always present. Revolvers
were at times active. It was a dusty,
breeze swept somnolent waterfront
village when the ships were out.
When they came back it was a mad
house.
Then the bottom fell out of the
pearl market. Today il is doubtful
If pearls command one-fifth the price
they did at the height of the boom.
La Paz is filled with stores Of pearls
whose owners held on too long. Not
a single pearling schooner left port
this season, 1t is said. But one Of
these days tie world trade will revive
and pearls will again be sought for
the bosom Of beauty. Then La Paz-
the third pearling port of all the
world--will come back to its own.

GUAYMAS, Sonora, Feb. e6.-Just
across the Gulf of California lies
wonderland. 1t may be bit arid. II
is a bit arid, in fact. Horned toads
have to carry canteens when they
travel in Lower California. There are
sections on the peninsula where fairly
we'll founded report has it that rain
falls but once in seven years. one
must be a desert lover to thoroughly
appreciate its sandy wastes, its weary
miles of mesquite and cactus. its
huge canyons marked here and there
by the ineffaceable traces of a race
that is not only lost to history. but
the existence Of which cannot be ex-
planned by any common sense theor-
les Of today.
But-granted that the visitor is
lover of the silent places, then Lower
California has much to offer. Pearls,
for one thing. The hidden port of La
Paz is perhaps the third most inn
portant pearling center in the world.
There are cannibals on Tiburon Is
land. The statement is to be quail
fled later. but in effect it may stand
as written. There are perhaps more
mountain sheep and fewer game laws
in its upper reaches than anywhere
else in the world.

1t was the pearls OF La Paz that
attracted me this morning, and for
tunately. l found an old pearler who
was willing to talk. One might visit
La Paz, of course. People do visit
La Paz from the port of Guaymas.
But down here travel is conducted on
more leisurely lines than in the
States. Now and then-at dates
which are fixed by the chance of
cargo--small schooners ramble from
one side of the gulf to the other. The
voyage itself takes two days, or three
days. or a week, or maybe two weeks,
the length depending on the winds
and the whim of the skipper and the
delays OF the ranchers who have car

on the decks OF these small schooners.

those who have ever visited them.
