HAYNES SPORT STOCK CAR
MAKES NEW RECORD ROAD
RUN ON 17S-MILE JAUNT

All time records were broken by a
stock Haynes So sport touring car
recently in covering the l79 miles
between Phoenix, Arizona, and the
Ehrensberg ferry station on the Col.
orado river, near Blythe, California.
The trip, which vas made in four
hours and f~ifty.ntne minutes, was a
part OF a last run to Los Angeles
made by George w. Campbell, a
private Haynes owner, and Ed Bert
ram, both of Phoenix. The time of
the entire run between Phoenix and
Los Angeles was only slightly under
the record, although no attempt wa
made to lower the time for tn : entire
distance.
The run was made under the OBJ
servatiop of private interests in
Phoenix and was checked officially
by Western Union. Mr.. Campbell
carried a letter to Mayor George
Cryer. OF Los Angeles, from Cover,
nor Thomas E. Campbell, Of Arizona,
telling of the way Arizona is getting
behind a monster bodybuilding pro.
gram designed TO, help in lowering
motor touring time L the Pacific
coast.
The Haynes SO sport touring car
used on the u was a strictly stock
car. The only extra equipment was
an add tional spot light carried on
the right-hand side.

Further, the production of increased
units of transportation creates eco
nomic wealth through tho time saw

been particularly noticeable in the

3. The fact that the prosperity Of
the motor vehicle business is an aid

4. The definite organization Of the
national highway program which mas
resulted in 10000 miles Of new roads
being built in 1922.
8. The replacement market for
cars and trucks going out of use
which should call for about 1000 900
motor vehicles In the coming year.
9. Growing need for motor trans

Z. Improved engineering and serv'

These forces are fundamental, and
they will continue to pile up a sub
stantial demand for motor cars and
motor trucks as the years go on.
The year 1923 will be n of steady
prosperity. The production should be
in the n~e'ghborhood of two and ono
half million vehicles. This is the 1922
figures. and the 1923 output may e.

Young America is sold on the mo-,

father does, that much of the secret
of success and contentment lies in
rapid transportation. To reduce non.

These boys-motorists OF the future
will know cars better than the pres

John B. Smallwood.

The death Of John 3. Smallwood,

ingly and with intense and unfiag.
ging zeal.
Just a little less than eighteen
years ago Mr.. Smallwood, then TWEEN
ty-two years Of age, came to The
Star. Serving first as a reporter, then
as assistant city editor, and city edi.
tor, then acting news editor and
finally news manager, he built for
himself. a. reputation for those quail
ties which make for the highest type
of newspaper man and citizen. He
died just entering upon. years of even
fuller usefulness.
The heritage which John Small
wood leaves to his fellow workers in
the field of journalism is the memory
and inspiration of his unfaltering
adherence to the highest professional
and personal ideals. That memory
and inspiration will be his monument

II there is a good fruit crop this
year the country will be thankful.
Things are favorable at this writing.
but one can never tell what q few
hours will bring forth. The peach crop
may be killed and the apple crop may
also be killed. Every spring such
news comes over the wires especially
in relation to the peach. The annual
destruction Of the peach crop has be-
come popular joke. but it is a grim
joke and has become a little stale.
There has seldom, or perhaps never,
been a late spring freeze 50 general
that the whole American peach crop
has been killed. but nearly every
spring this crop. the apple crop or the
strawberry crop in some section is de-
stroyed. 1t means big loss in that sec.
ton. Hopes built on prospective sale
Of the fruit so a-glimmering and
things the family were going to buy
cannot be bought. Every item Of crop
loss news tells Of loss to a great or
large number OF people. Let us hope
that for the benefit of country people
and city people the fruit crop every
where will be bountiful.

The New Filter Plant.

1t is encouraging to note the meas.
ures taken for bringing the Washing
ton water supply system up to re-
quirernents. What is being done will
no doubt provide an adequate flow of
water to meet the normal demand Of
our population for many years, and
make us secure against water famine,
conflagration or other disaster which
might be due to the breaking Of the
conduit. For something more than
thirty years individuals and civic
bodies have been calling attention to
the need Of a second conduit or a Sec
ond means Of supply that the city
should not be dependent on q single
conduit, old, long taxed to its capacity,
and which could not be repaired with
out exposing the city and it's people to
peril. Things now have a happier
face. Work on a new conduit is under
way, and it is said that it should be
finished by January 1, 1925. New
reservoirs are to be built that more
water may be held in storage, as the
present reservoirs hold only few
hours supply, and Washington uses
water at nearly the rate at which it
comes down from Great Falls through
the old conduit. Now we have the
news that the engineer officer in
charge is about to call for bids for
the construction of a new filtration
plant which is to cost approximately
$4,000, 900, and which will filter about
10000 900 gallons Of water a day, or
about the same amount which passes
through the present filter. plant on the
high land south Of the Soldiers Home
grounds. Progress il being made along
the whole line. The people Of Wash.

the steps taken in the vast needed en-.
largement Of the capitals water plant.

effect not only toward debasement of
