OUR HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS

We note with alarm that the
surface of Arizona's unpaved
highways is being blown away
at q remarkable rate. It seems
this fact was discovered very
shortly after the election OF Gov
ernor Phillips last November.
Under the past administration
only financial dust blew away
and all was we'll. Now it ap
pears that this dust is valuable
for political purposes and an ur
gent appeal is being made. for an
extra session of the Legislature

set in motion to amend our God
given constitution" in order to
issue $25. 900. 900 road bonds.
There is also a movement on
foot to abolish the state high
way department. That is hard
ly fair. The department should
be given a square trial before
drastic action is taken. Very
probably the highway laws need
repairs in the way of amend
ments to patch them up into
workable form.
The theory of bond issue to
be paid from the gasoline tax,

MARQUETTE SIX
NEW BUICK
OFFERING

washington Buick dealers today
are displaying the Marquette, a new
six, produced by the Buick Motor
Company. This car, which is the
ninth in the General Motors line
and which will sell in the medium
price field, is offered in six models.
The Marquette is surprisingly
large car. From the distinctively
modern styled radiator to the espe-
cially designed and complete rear
end, the lines possess a symmetry
of contour which bespeaks fleet.
ness and a degree of refinement
found in expensive makes. Prices on
the car range from $965 to $1035.
The six.cylinder L-head motor and
the crank case are cast in one in
tegral unit. The engine has a bore
and stroke of 3k inches by AZ
inches and develops SIS maximum
brake horsepower. The wheels are
sturdy and carry large section
28x5.25 balloon tires.
Lines Graceful
The Marquette's body lines are
low, long and graceful. These lines
arc accentuated in the sleek de,
sign Of the radiator and hood and
the moulding, which begins at the
radiator and goes completely around
the body. Large wide doors, and
inset window openings give the ap.
pearance of richness and luxury
comparable to higher price cars.
The Marquette introduces to the
motoring public for the first time a
scientifically sloped windshield on
closed models. The new windshield
eliminates all glare either from ap-
preaching lights or from lights to
the rear or sides of the car.
Other features embodied in the
Marquette include large internal ex.
pandinR Duo-Seryo four wheel
brakes, an adjustable steering wheel,
adjustable drivers seat, built.in
bumper mountings and all chromium
plated outside hardware. The soft,
but durable, mohair upholstery is
waterproof, impregnated under new
process with a rubber solution.
COmtrOle0 IneFmOSLab
A full pressure lubricating system
is used on the new car, insuring a
constant flow of oil to main bear
ings, connecting bearings, cylinder
walls. camshaft bearings and timing
chain. The cooling system Is con-
troiled by a thermostat. The tapered
chassis is exceptionally sturdy, and,
together with the long semi.elliptic
springs, gives the Marquette new
qualities of restful, smooth riding at
all road speeds.
The exquisite color creations on
the six moGels--the two-door sedan,
four-door sedan. business coupe,
sport coupe, roadster and touring
have been designed to meet with uni
versal appeal. Though scientific,
they follow closely to present fash.
ion trends. The body .colors were
developed by Buick style engineers
with the cooperation Of the Fisher
Body artists and the art and color
section of General Motors Corpora

King George Reported
In Improved Condition

WINDSOR, Eng, June Q.N.S.L
The condition of King George, who
is suffering from an abscess in the
right side of the chest, was under
stood to be satisfactory today.
The Kings physicians have dis
continued the issuing OF daily bulle-
tins, feeling that his majesty's s
condition is not sufficiently serious
to warrant this step.
1t is not yet known whether
Stanley Baldwin, defeated premier,
will visit the king this week to
discuss the statement arising out
of the general elections. This visit
depends largely upon the Kings
condition, but it is understood that
If the present rate of progress is
maintained, Baldwin will be per-
mitted to see His Majesty in the
near future.
The abscess, which formed under
the site of a wound opened in the
Kings earlier illness, Is understood
to be draining satisfactorily.
