the people, builds the towns, increases
trade and adds to the tax roll, and
the same is true of reclamation. The

There are approximately 1S5,OO0,OOO

Sprv charged that the states have
not, as rule, conserved their quantity
of school grants except in those in
stances where congress placed rigid
condition on their disposal. The mil

difficulty was experienced in the south
and middle states, but the west, with
it's highly mineralized areas, another
problem has arisen.
"The government has always dealt

Postmaster Foster Makes
Trip Over New Mail Route

That new mail delivery routes
which will accommodate nearly $50
families is to be instituted, was
learned Monday when Postmaster
Charles Foster returner from a trip
thropugh the Sulphur Springs valley
during which he inspected the pro-
posed route.
Need of such service for the farm
.ers Of the valley has long been felt,
and it is through the efforts of
Postmaster Foster, Assistant POST
master W. J Jackson, and several
progressive ranchers of the valley
that the new route is to become
reality. Foster recently made a trip
to Phoenix to confer with postal au
thorities there regarding the proposed
route, and it is understood that the
new service will go into effect in
the very near future.
On his inspection trip Sunday Post
master Foster was accompanied by
H. X. Deeds, and the two men not
only went over the entire route, but
talked with many ranchers, and found
them to be more than enthusiastic
over the proposal.

thence by the Central highway to the
Double Adobe school, thence south
along the Kings highway, thence to
the Bisbee highway, thence to the
Calumet and Arizona addition, to the
city water works, county hospital,
and back to Douglas.
Inauguration of the new service
will be considerable boost for
Douglas, and the valley and will
probably go into effect Immediately,
as but very little. work wa sfound to
be needed in order to put the Dou-
bic Adobe school and the north end
of the Kings highway in condition
for travel.

High production Of new cars and
low prices, are having an interesting
effect upon the used car market. With
prices so low and credit facilities so
easy, the average motorist keeps his
new car q much shorter time, which
Is Just another way Of saying that
used cars are much newer cars than
ever before.
Some owners are trading every six
months. Used cars are bearing cur
rent model numbers. and are almost as
good as new. The original owners
could keep their cars longer, but SO
far they have not been obliged to do
40. OF course, economists warn that
this condition cannot last forever. j..
In the meantime, the average used
car is a much better buy than 1t used
to be. It Is a lot of transportation
which someone simply has grown tired
of or has decided to discard In favor OF
something else.
| In fact, the current supply of used
cars Is SO attractive, the so-called
used car problem gives promise or
aolyfng itself. There are those who

dict that motordom soon Will be wor-

have throttle closed ignition off and
choker button pushed in. Some driv-
ers argue that, If the ignition is kept
on. whatever partial burning or igni-
ton of the gases takes place will
serve to clear the cylinders more
quickly. But here's the explanation:
If the ignition is switched on, and
one cylinder should fire, the sudden
speed impaired to the engine would
create additional suction, causing a
further amount of gas to suck into
the cylinders. With the ignition off,
the engine turns over slowly, rids it.

The Old Mechanic Says;

Since it's part of my business to
undo a lot of foolish work done by
owners who think they are born me-
chanics l have gradually developed
certain tests 10 find out just how
much owners know about their cars.
One of these l call the vacuum test.
1t works this way: When an owner
comes in with a complaint that has
all the earmarks of havIn' caused by
his own mistakes. and he tries to
give the impression that he knows
everything. L play little trick on
him. One of my helpers engages him
in on l stick my chewin' gum over
that little pin hole in the cap of the
gasoline tank. This seals the vent
that plays such an important part in
the operation of the vacuum system.
Then l suggest a ride in order to
study the trouble a little more close
ly. Pretty soon, of course, the vacuum
tank goes dry and the engine stalls.
We jump out and survey the PROPOSE
ton, raisin' the hood and discoverin'
that the carburetor is empty. In the
excitement 1 pass by the gas tank
and flip the chewin' gum off the cap
so that the system Is ready to work
again.
In nine cases out of 10. the owner
spouts, The vacuum tanks gone dry
so We'll have to refill it." And when
I ask him how he intends dom 1t, the
answer comes, iii walk around to a
garage and get some gas and fun
nell"
That's my evidence. That shows
he's bluffin' about his complete knowl
edge of the car. Drivers who know
-, olND
that the vacuum tank can be refilled
by crankin' the engine with ignition
off and throttle closed. Under such
conditions, suction is strong through
the pipe connected to the intake mani
fold The tank fills up quickly.
After that, 1 put aside most posi-
bilities of natural trouble with the
car and make it plain to the owner
that his trouble is largely due to him
self. It's q simple test, but it has
never failed me.

The idea of trading in the old car

the balance due, would only be an
adaptation of broader credit schemes.

1851 Buick Owners
Bought Cars in April

e. I. Strong, general sales mana
ger of the Buick Motor company,
announces actual deliveries of Buick
cars to owners in April of 81, 631
units. The previous monthly record
for the current series was made in
March, when 23,224 cars were de-
livered.
According to Mr.. Strong's state
ment, shipments for April were a.
OS9 cars The excess of deliveries
over shipments for the month was
1912 cars.
All previous delivery records have
been broken in the nine months
since August. 1925, when the 1926
models were introduced. One hum
dred and seventy-five thousand, two
hundred and fifteen cars have been
delivered during this period. This
is an average of about 1850 cars per
month.
The Buick factory has been op-
Grating at peak capacity since last
August, Mr.. Strong states. The
usual mid winter shutdown for in
ventory was postponed because of
the demand for cars. A 100000
expansion program to increase
capacity to 10000 cars a month is
now under way. Several new build
ings are under construction and new
equipment has been added.

counters something is in the wind.
Officially the 1927 models are not due
until July or August. but the used car
situation is beginning to force an
earlier release date.
The situation is unprecedented in
the opinion of those who have watched
such matters for years past. The pres
ent year is hardly under way and yet
the average man can go out into the
used car mart and select a 1926 model.
1t is conceded, of course, that owners
have not been taking such good care
of their property and that the eX-
tremely low prices on cars encourages
more frequent change.

of speed so they know just about how
fast a car is travelling regardless of
what the speedometer says? In many
drivers this sense is so acute they
have successfully picked out cars with
inaccurate speedometers.
With so many fuel dopes being used
it is possible for a mechanic to con-
fuse a cherry-red burned valve with
one that is coated with red iron oxide
as a result of the chemical action of
the fuel adulterant? Before grinding
valves. the repairer should be in
formed of the kind of fuel the engine
has had as a regular diet.

Clearing the Cylinders

When an engine becomes loaded
with gas it will not run because the
mixture in the cylinders is too rich to
fire. Return of normal operation is
merely a question of allowing the car
to stand until the gas evaporates, but
there are several methods of clearing
the cylinders if one is in a hurry.
One is to open the petcocks, where
such conveniences are provided.
The next best way is to crank the
