But the Traffic Cops Make En- Unnecessary
for Average Autoist

An INVENTION that has proved
n n marvellous success in eutomo.
bile engineering. but which may
never be OF use 20 the average
driver, Is the supercharger.
This device forces air and gas into
the cylinders OF an engine when II Is
running at such high speed that Il
actually starves itself.
when an engine Is running ut a
high speed, the throttle wide open.
the time interval OF tho suction
stroke Is so short that not enough
gas and air can be fed into the engine
10 keep 1t at It's highest efficiency.
As n result the compression OF the
engine is reduced moro than third.
The super.chargcr. worked by n
chain and cam arrangement from the
front OF the engine, and connected TO
tho intake manifold. takes tho air
and gas and forces enough into the
cylinders during tho short suction

With the piston displacement reduced
to 122 cubic inches, II camo into

have been slowed down considerably.
That is fine for races and avlators.

Even the proper kind Of wrench

A good wrench might not work
where the nut is too tight. But the
cause OF this might be that the

For tightening or loosening a nut
the wrench should be applied with
the mouth facing the direction in
which the nut Is TO be turned. Thus
the leverage OF the wrench arm is
against the nut. rather than away
from IL. and is much more effective.

state since 1912 was told in an exhi
introduced by ChaS. E. Blaine of
firm of Jones, Blaine and Jones,
the hearing of the complaint of
Arizona Cattle Growers associa
before Examiner Jewell Of the in
state commerce commission at Pl
nix. The complaint asks for rec
tions in the rates on cattle from 4
zona points to California.
Blaine was the chief witness at
hearing and occupied the stand fir
10 o'clock in the morning until fo
in the afternoon. Blaine showed T.
history of cattle freight rates in Il
state by mass of exhibits prepare
from tariffs of the roads which were
offered to show how the present scale
of rates developed. A number of
other witnesses followed Blaine on the
stand.
Probably the most interesting ex-
hibit offered during the day was one
prepared by Jones, Blaine and Jones,
who represented the cattle growers
association and introduced H. M. Rice,
secretary of the Arizona Cattle Grow
ers' association. This exhibit showed
the fluctuations Of the cattle market
in the past ten years as compared to
the freight rates and the purchasing
power of the dollar.
In 1913 the exhibit showed, the cat
tie man received a price of $27.50 a
head for his feeder cattle while the
freight rates from Phoenix to Los An
geles was $80.50 car. In 1920, the
peak for range cattle, the price was
$38 head as compared to a freight
rate of $119.50 car, the exhibit
showed, while in 1921, the price was
$15 head with the same freight rate.
In 1923 the exhibit showed that the
price was S21 head while the freight
rate had decreased to $107.50 a car,
while today the price is $23 with a
freight rate of $107.50 a car.

foreign speakers are to take up the
time of the meetings, as has been the
custom for years past.
Every cow man present will be
given opportunity to express as fully
as he desires his opinion on all mat
ters presented at the business ses-
sions, and in this direct way they will
discuss and outline full program of
endeavor for the state organization to
work out during the 1924 year. This
change of procedure will afford the
chance cattlemen have keenly desired
for some time to get down to actual
business for themselves in taking up
the many vital problems of their big
industry in this state.

HAGENBARTH SAYS TARIFF
NECESSARY TO STOCKMEN

Issuing warning that import
duties on raw products are necessary
if industries of the southwest are to
survive, Frank G. Hagenbarth, presi-
dent of the American Wool Growers
association, was the principal speaker
at the opening session of the Arizona
at the Columbia theater.
Many of the agricultural products,
compromising principal industries of
the west, he said, can be so cheaply
produced in some foreign countries
that they can undersell American pro-
ducts on the American market. If
that condition is allowed to stifle
home industries, he warned, it will
mean eventually "that we will be at
the tender mercies of the foreign
producer" who would be at Liberty to
fix his own price.
Mr.. Hagenbarth was one of the 13
speakers who spoke on the opening
day of the convention. They rep
resented every line of Arizona in
dustry and were unanimous in the
agreement that industrial conditions
showed improvement during 1928, and
that prospects for the future are ex-
ceedingly bright.
Every speaker suggested as most
important of the needs of industries
that of fullest cooperation. Each
speaker detailed how desired ends to |
improve the particular industry to |
which he referred can be attained only |
by cooperation. Speakers were un- |
animous in the declaration that no in |
dustry can suffer without making all |
suffer, and each declared that CO.
operation to improve any industry |
results in improvement of all.
Mr.. Hagenbarth credited cooper
alton with being the factor respon-
sible for procuring legislation to
protect the wool growers. The CO.
operative body of the Western
Tariff association, he said, had pro-
cured an inadequate but helpful
import duty on foreign wool, making
possible the existence of wool grow
ing industry in America.
Mr.. Hagenbarth commented ex-
tensively on the tariff question. The
casts theory has been, he said, that
raw materials should be admitted free
to this country and that manufactured
products should be protected. Opp
osltlon to a tariff, he declared, has
been founded on ignorance" and on
the erroneous theory that it would in
crease the cost of living.
"I want to say word," Mr.. Ha-
genbarth said, Gin regard to rumors
you may have heard about the West
ern Tariff association. There isn't
single individual connected with the
association who has received a dollar
for services except the young men
employed to do clerical work and the
manager recently employed to give all
his time to the association.
prior to the forming of the West
ern Tariff association, founded when
cotton was practically the only crop
raised in the south, most of you can
remember the time when cotton was
called king. Later the south began to
diversity it's crops.

Needed state legislation-ius tax
reductions on cattle and lands-forest
reserve appraisals and fees-reduced
railroad rates to markets-needed
equipment at shipping points spring
marketing of cattle-livestock sani-
tary board assistance are some of the
many questions that will be taken up
one by one at the coming convention.
The directors and executive commit
teemen of the state association are
working diligently with the other of
ficers to have complete program
arranged for presentation to the del
egates, and also interesting as
many cattlemen as possible in their
districts to be present at the Douglas
meeting.
On the evening of January % will
be held the annual meeting of the
board of directors and the executive
committee of the association. The
opening Of the convention itself will
be at $3.50 o'clock a. M, Tuesday, jan
uary 29.
The Douglas chamber of commerce
is making elaborate preparations for
the entertainment of the visiting cat
tlemen during the two-day convention.
The woman's auxiliary of the associa-
ton will have separate meetings as
well as several entertainment features
for all the ladies attending the con-
vention. Cattlemen are urged to bring
their wives and daughters and be in
attendance at the coming Douglas con-
vention which promises to be the best
real business meeting of the cattle
men of Arizona for many years past.

ties are at present working over the
desert under the direction of the pred
atory animal department.
Evidence that the coyotes had be-
come afflicted with the rabies was
discovered several weeks ago when
coyotes attacked several domestic dogs
about Mesa, causing them to become
affected. Following this DR.. Douglas
sent notices to the sheepmen asking
them to cooperate in a campaign to
rid the desert of the coyotes in order
to avert serious losses among the
sheep bands brought down on the des-
ert for winter feeding.
Lambing this season, on account of
the good feed, is expected to be near
ly 100 per cent, and it is the inten-
ton of the sheepmen, DIR. Douglas
said, to take every precaution against
loss.
