.ONE-THIRD MILLION VISITED
ARIZONA FORESTS THIS YEAR

Approximately 317,586 persons Vi
sited the national forests of Arizona
during 1923 to hunt, fish, picnic or
camp, according to estimates COM
piled by the district office of the
Forest Service.
Of this number 10000 came to
the forests in autos. Most of them
camped although about $4,000 stop
ped at hotels and resorts. Some of
these were local people, but the great
majority were tourists travelling
through the southwest. Many Of
them intended, no doubt, when they
left their homes in the east, to go
straight through to the Pacific Coast
but were so much attracted by the
beauty of Arizona's mountain scenery
and climate that they stopped to
visit the national forests along the
way.
Although it has often been thot
the auto has made long distance
walking a lost art in America, the
estimate show that 446 visitors
came to the Arizona national forests
on foot while about 1900 reached
them by wagon, horseback or bicycle.
"The number of people that vi
sited the Arizona national forests
last year,, says District Forester F.
&c. w. Pooler, "is larger than for
any previous year. The increase is
correspondingly true for the whole
United States. In New Mexico there
were about 100000 visitors and the
report of the Chief Forester shows
that for all of the national forests
the total is more than six million.
eve are glad to. have them
though, continued Mr.. Pooler, "and
hope the number will increase each
year. The national forests contain
much of interest to the tourist and
it is hoped that a great many more
of our citizens will become acquainted
with them in the future. The tourist
is surely a source of considerable
income to local communities. While
we have no estimate of the amount
of money he spends in Arizona
must run into the millions. Local
residents and business men can en-
courage the tourist trade in no better
way than by warning those who use
the forests to be certain not to start
forest fires.
"The most gratifying thing about
this increased use of the forests for
recreation is that the increase in the
number of forest fires has been
small. Apparently most of the
tourists are careful with camp fires
and while smoking in the forests" +"

"The combination Of the two most

general manager OF the new associa-

comes from those motorists who now
appreciate the fact that the consol-

gives them twice as much service for

longing to two national motor or
Sanizations for one fee. yet with the
advantages which would not be pos

operating independently.
THE motorist from New York now
has the services of the San Francisco
club at his disposal and vice versa.
Under the new plan the largest and
most progressive automobile clubs of
the country are united into one great
big chain, pulling together with but
one aim in view-service and pro-
lection to the motorist.

Ask the Salesman.
Don't hesitate to ask a salesman to

BRAKE BANDS ADVICE.

Brake bands should be concentric
with the drums-that is, they must
have a common center, with no ex-
cessive variation In the clearance be-
tween band and drum at any point.
The better cars usually have adjust
ing screws at one or two points of
the bands. so as to allow for neces-
sary adjustment. Where no adjust
ment is provided for the bands should
be taken off and rolled out wherever
bad sag" is found. Running over
a large stone or other road obstruc-
tion will sometimes dent or bend the
bands. II the adjustments will not
remedy the dragging point the bands
should be taken off and smoothed out

matter of secondary consideration. If
you think a big allowance is the main
feature in buying a car. better take
the car that offers you premium for
your old bus and learn your lesson.
Once you have decided on the car
help you dispose of the old car for
what 1t is actually worth. That's all
you can expect in an honest business
transaction.
Take a friend or two to the show
with you. Don't go alone. Their
Judgment is valuable. And they may
want to buy car. Remepber. every
car they buy makes the automobile
more popular and means a continue
tion Of the present era of high values
and low prices.

JUST SOME SUGGESTIONS.

An electric fan in the sedan to
promote better circulation Of air
when a heavy rain makes 1t impossible
to drive with the windows let down.
Enough current is generated to run
a light fan for the time required TO
stir up the air.

Go straight to these cars first.
There are a. lot OF very interesting
things to see in any auto show. but

Having looked these cars over
carefully. it Is we'll to then inspect
some Of the machines which perhaps
you would not be likely to buy, for
in doing so you will have a much
better idea OF the cars you are most

there is evaporation to be considered.
Don't even trust the gas tank gauge
