Master Sgt. Will J. Martin Home
For Good After Wound In Leg
Ends 3S Year Service To Army

Master Sgt. Will ]. Martin is
home from the wars. He returned
to Nogales Sunday, bringing with
him his retirement papers credit
ing him with 38 years Of service
in the US. Army on every con-
tinent except Australia, bunch
Of medals and citations-and a
game leg.
The 51-year old colored hero still
isn't satisfied with his record. "I'd
like to have more than one life to
give this country and regret it was
necessary to retire from service in
time of need" he said. Actually,
he has come very close to giving his
life for his country three times
when seriously wounded, and it was
bomb fragment from Jap air.
plane in the Aleutians that sent
him to the hospital and eventually
led to his being relieved from furth-
er duty because of physical disabili-
ty.
Like most returning soldiers, Sgt.
Martin predicts longer war than
most of the news analysts. He be-
lieves the war in Europe will last
three more years and the battle of
the Pacific only a year and a half.
The reason for this unusual view is
that he doesn't think the Japs can
take it and will quit as soon as we
can bring pressure to bear on their
home islands. He thinks we are
having to spread our production TO
SO many fronts we will be unable
to crush Hitlers fortress for a long
time to come.
Martin enlisted in the army June
6. 1911, at Fort Slocum, New York,
and has been lots of places and done
lots of things since entering the
service at the age of IA. He was
able to pile up SO years of service
in a shorter length of actual time
because the army gives double credit
for tropical duty.
Sgt. Martin was stationed with
the 10th Cavalry at Nogales at the
time of Pershing's expedition a1ter
Pancho Villa. He was one OF three
survivors of Troop G. His COM
manding officer, Capt. Charlie
Boyd, was killed in this action.
Hawaii was the first overseas sta
ton where Martin served. Then he
went to the Philippines and fought
Moros.
He says that he served on Cor
regidor in about 1918 with Co. B,
oath Infantry, and this unit took
part in the construction of defense
works that turned rocky island
into a world famous fortress. They
erected buildings, cable car line,
run inducements and bored the
tunnels which were the last refuge
under our flag for American soldiers
and civilians before WalnrlghCs
surrender.
Later Martin served in PeKin'
China. doing guard duty at the gate
of the Forbidden City in the Inter
national Settlement.
He says that even in those Gays

BIC ATTENDANCE AT ANNUAL
ROTARY FOOTBALL BANQUET

, Approximately 165 ROtarians,
their friends and members of the
Nogales and Patagonia High
School football teams gathered at
the Cavern Gardens last Friday
evening to participate in the an
nuaI Football Banquet.
The Rotary-sponsored affair was
in honor of Coach John Herrera,
Assistant Coach NARROW Keith, their
MIS-. Apaches and the Patagonia
High School football team.
Rotary President Jake Rochlin in
his inimitable way opened the af-
fair with pertinent remarks and
then turned the affair over to M.
I. doc" Fred Merritt who despite
heavy and persistent competition
managed to get the program run
ming smoothly and to a very sue
cessful conclusion.
He opened his remarks by express
ing regret over the absence of Ro-
tarians j. C. Tovrea, Writ G. Bow
man, DR.. Charles S. Smith and c..
B. Wilde, who could not be present
on account of sickness. Each of
these men heretofore had been a
regular attendant at football ban
quets.
AS Master of Ceremonies Doc
first introduced and paid tribute to
those Rotarians whose efforts and
work had made the occasion pos
sible. Among these were DR.. G. s..
Smith, Craig Pottinger, F. B. Car
room, C. E. Bells, j. v. Robins, Dr.
o. A. Smith, Robert Marcus and c..
B. Wilde.
Coach John Herrera was given
the floor and introduced the boys
who had participated in football
for Nogales High School this year
with pointed remarks for each boy
which enabled those present to
know the boys more intimately.
Among the Nogalians were Eddie
Stoller and Ramon Baldenegro who
were elected co-captains last Fri
day afternoon.
AS a special tribute to the spirit
displayed by the boys from Pata-
gonia who, without coach, turned
out, drilled and placed team on
the field they were invited to at
tend this years banquet and re-
ceived nice round of applause as
they were individually introduced
by Mr.. o. H. Oldfather, head of
the Patagonia schools.
Further entertainment was fur
nished from the Cavern and with
out a doubt the Mexican Champion
Jitterbugs were the hit of the show.
There might be some argument
about this since rambling, garrulous
and multiloquent Marty Loughman
nearly choked the nlicrophone to
death for some 10 or Is minutes as
he glibly cracked and cracked new
and cid jokes. ~
REPRESENTATIVES of the football
team presented gifts to Coach Her
rera and his assistant, NARROW
Keith. For reasons best known to
himself, Coach Herrera was able to
express but few words of reply upon
receipt of this token of respect and
affection from his boys. Unfor-
tunately Mr.. Keith had been called
to the bedside of his mother and
was not present to receive his gift.
Following the banquet which was
prepared and served by the Cavern
Gardens, those present adjourned
long enough to get their lady friends
and then danced for the remainder
of the evening.
In view of the repeated success
of this affair it is puzzling to know
why local men, their sons and young
friends do not get together oftener.
It was a great success and should
be an incentive for other local Or
ganizations to do something along
similar lines for other groups of
young people, both boys and girls.

Gets Good Results

The New Orleans representa-
tive found that TWO taxi opcr-
atorS in small towns. operating
over part concrete. part gravel
roads were getting fairly good
results. One had gone over r.
600 miles and showed only about
one-third wear in the tread.
That inferred life Of about
10000 miles. good record on

a prewar tire.

rather be-clouded. But one thing

Costs Much Higher

Even with the government
substituting the rubber program,
the rubber company officials adj
mitted that the costs Of making
synthetic tires was far above
the cost of prewar tires. about
10. per cent. Most of this is for
added handling neceSSitated by
the man-made product
The production capacity Of
the tire plants could be raised

higher costs and the extra ham

find costs and speed Of output

Exports
A"aim Top
Billion

WASHINGTON, Dec 10 tUP)
October was the sixth con-
secutive month in which exports
from the United States exceeded
S1.OO0,00O000 in value, the departi
ment of commerce announced to-
day. October exports amounted
to 81 ,1S5 100000.
The export total for the month
was slightly below September but
was as per cent greater than Oc-
tober, 1912. Export shipments for
the first 10 months of 1913 were
valued at S10.37S,000000, or 29
per cent above the total for the
entire year of 1912.
General imports Of merchandise
in October were valued at 1929
100000, an increase of ga per cent
over October, 1912. Imports for
the first 10 months of this year
amounted to S2,766;000,000. and
also exceeded the total for the
entire year of 1912.

Tires Getting Better

Still. we suppose that both
mean the same thing. The war
product is improving slowly but
surely as the rubber men learn
more and more about plastic
product like Buna S. The tires
of today are far superior prod
uct than the tires made a year
ago of reclaimed or even the
GR-S tires produced six months
ago And they are getting
better.
Reports by the field engineers
from various parts of the coun-
try are interesting. The repre-
sentative in the Minneapolis
area reported that three taxi
fleets operating there showed
widely varying results with
synethic tires One had about as
good experience with the war
tires as with the prewar. An
other was running a little behind
with his synthetic as compared
with the old tires.
The third. however. was get
ting comparatively low mileage.
II was brought out that the
third had older vehicles. was
operating on different types of
roads and had synthetic tires
which were among the first

U. S. Rubber Experts
Report on Results
Of Synthetic Tires
BY SILER FREEMAN

After hearing reports by u. S.
Rubber Co. officials and field
engineers on the performance OF
synthetic passenger tires in vari-
Gus sections of the country and
having recently visited the other
big rubber companies located in
Akron. il is this reporters con-
clusion that the Detroit end of
the industry is ultra-conser-
vative.
In Akron, the word given out
is that synthetic tires on the
whole are about as good as
natural rubber tires. Even such
an eminent rubber scientist as
DR.. r. p. Dinsmore of Goodyear
will admit that much,
But the best the u. S. Rubber
Co. officials will say that under
certain wartime conditions and
limitations, the synthetic pas
senger tire will give about 80
per cent of the wear that q
