He promises some big surprise announcements about the Hupp when he returns. The Hupp eights have had a phenomenal sale recently. Upper left: The five-passenger touring ear.

These BIG OIL SUPPLY FORESTALLS Mr GRAVE SHORTAGE Although the production of gasoline in the United States increased 500 per cent In the last 10 years, from 1 billion gallons in 1914 to 9 billion gallons In 1924, according to a recent report of the department of commerce, the directors of the American Petroleum Institute, in a report Issued recently, express the opinion as reported in the September Issue of the journal of the Society of Automotive Engineers, that "a sufficient supply of motor fuel and lubricants is assured for the national defense and for essential uses beyond- the time when science will, limit the demand by developing more efficient use of or substitutes for oil or will displace its use as a source of power by harnessing a natural energy." In other words, the reduction of gasoline consumption by improvement in automotive engines or the development of substitute fuels or other sources of energy is expected to proceed faster than the exhaustion of our crude petroleum resources. It is further stated in the report of the oil men that petroleum recoverable by present methods of flowing and pumping from proved acreage is estimated to amount to barrels. Furthermore, it is averred that, after pumping and flowing cease, barrels of oil, a considerable portion of which can be recovered by improved and known processes, will remain In the- area now producing or proved.

The major oil reserves of the United States are understood to lie In some 1,100,000,000 acres of land that are underlain by sedimentary rocks and not fully explored. It is expected that improved methods of deep drilling will disclose many deposits not before available. Countries in the southern portion of this hemisphere are known to have large petroleum resources. For these the United States is a natural market and the supply therefrom will inevitably influence the consumption of American reserves. Automotive engineers are quoted In the report as stating that the mileage of automobiles per gallon of gasoline can be doubled through structural mechanical changes when, these are justified by price; and, moreover, that improvements will result in smaller -consumption of lubricants.

SLOW School Ahead! The annual September warning is issued today to motorists and school children alike; Phoenix schools resume work tomorrow morning, and with their opening comes a recurrence of the school-zone traffic problem for city police. Each of the 2,000 school children in the city is a potential traffic danger, and each of the several thousand motorists has the personal responsibility of guarding the lives and safety of these children. N. W. Matlock, captain of the city police traffic squad, has issued a warning to all motorists that they will be expected and required to obey the law regarding speeding, by city schools.

From 7 a. m. to 4: 30 p. m. the speed limit in school zones is 10 miles per hour, "and that doesn't mfan 11 miles per hour," Captain Matlock "pointed out.

"In past years the motorists have been very kind in assisting us in protecting the school children," the captain stated yesterday. "Judge Callahan, city magistrate, is not lenient with offenders arrested for violating" the school zone limit. Last year he imposed some stiff penalties for a few weeks, until the motorists became educated to the fact that school had re-opened. Other strong penalties doubtless will be imposed this year." Boy Scout Police. If you're a motorist and feel that the 10-mile school law is unfair, it will cost you from $5 to 10 days irt jail -to ignore it, Captain Matlock said.

A special collection agency composed of a motorcj-cle patrol in the vicinity of all schools and an officer on duty on the high school campus will see to it that you don't dodge the penalty. An innovation this year will be the placing of Boy Scouts on duty at the high school. Monroe and Adams schools, to. serve in the capacity of traffic police with power to take numbers of cars that violate traffic rules and report them to police headquarters. Arrangements for this service is being made through local Scout executives.

Captain Mat- lock stated. The scouts will have virtually the power of special officers, but while they writ not be permitted to make arrests, the offenders whom they report will be vigorously prosecuted. Although the warning Issued is primarily to motorists, school children themselves should be impressed with the necessity of observing care In crossing the streets, police say. The co-operation of the parents and teachers toward this end is hoped for. Mojorist to Blame.

The law assumes that the motorist is to blame if a child is hurt, notwithstanding the fact thaf the child usually ig flagrantly careless and deliberately invites accidents. The final blame goes to the driver because the child, being a child, is considered irresponsible. In other words the little fellows are both to blame and not to blame. The children should constantly be warned against roller skating on the streets, "hooking" l-ni'nplf' surround each cylinler l.orc Vr.tire length of the piston rmz trawl.

They will have headquarters here with the H' Motor company. While in Phoenix Mr. Teller will call a meeting of all Star in the state and discuss with them points of interest in the sales and distribution of Star cars. A banouet will be given In honor of Mr.

Teller and Mr. Houlihan, according to Julian Holmes of the 11 company, Mr. Holmes stated this week that August was the best business month of the year so far for his company, and that business had been steadily increasing since September 1. May usually is the biggest month in car sales, and October and November are good months, Mr. Holme!" said, but August set a new record which, however, may yet be broken.

The company took over the TMeroe Arrow nsrency here three weeks ago. in addition to the Star agency. The first Pierce Arrow sent to the firm was sold before it was washed or the motor started. Dr. John V.

An assessment of $2 per acre has been levied on every acre of land in the Casa Grande end of the valley as a result. More horses and mules as well as fresnos are needed to rush the work to completion, say those in charge. Opportunities Looming For Autos With Eight Wheels; Heavier Trucks In Demand Columbus Knights In Bisbee Reelect Wood Hish Officio tubes are now fully guaranteed and dealers are equipped to give service on them. He also states that the name of every Stewart-Warner radio purchaser is filed with the local service station where the purchaser is assured prompt and satisfactory service through his local dealer. The Stewart-Warner distributors have been operating 24 hours a day for the past two weeks getting out shipments of radio sets and equipment to the dealers throughout tiie state.

0 liSh! I rides, jay walking, running after playthings in the streets and similar aotions leading to accidents, police declare. But still more necessary is It for the motorists to remember that the children are impulsive to the extreme and forget these warnings while Interested in their youthful games. Children, like old persons, become confused in traffic. In this state of mind they frequently do just the opposite of what they should do, so that the motorist, to avoid maiming and killing the little folks, must exercise constant care. "The children concentrate on their play and leave their safety to some guardian angel," Captain Matlock ex-, plained.

"If a ball rolls into the street a little fellow will dart out after it. If no car is near, well and good, but If a speeder is roaring down the street the child goes on after the ball Just the same. Co-operation Appreciated. "The children must learn that the street belongs to the motorist and not to pedestrians, although the pedestrian has his rights at the crossings. If a child happens to be walking across a street and another talis to him from the sidewalk, he will stop in the most dangerous spot and carry on a conversation, unconscious of possible danger.

When crossing he should first look both ways for approaching cars, then walk across the street without hesitating in the danger area. "High school pupils have a habit of going across the street to the little stores and drink staYids. and then of congregating in groups on the pavement to talk and laugh. This Is a dangerous practice, and In the name of safety will not be permitted this year. "We do not want to he mandatory about enforcing- these rules, and we 1 -Iidin e.

Mas- Improvements To Essex Motor Give Splendid Results Two carloads of Essex coaches equipped with the improved Essex motor arrived in Phoenix yesterday and were unloaded by A. E. England, distributor, who distributed equally between the Phoenix Hudson-Essex company and the Hollo-way Motor company.

The new features in tlie Essex motor include an increased bore and stroke, Linite connecting r6ds, baffle plates in the motor and crankcase, double sized compensating weights on the crankshaft and a new oiling system. The result of these Improvements is that the Essex now has greatly increased power, quietness and smoothness and its operation may be very favorably compared with that of six cylinder cars of much greater price.

R. Dold of Mount Pleasant, accompanied by their four children on their way to Iowa from Modesto, are visiting E. J. Wehrele and family at 512 North Fourth street for a few days. Mr.

Pold is driving a Dodge car and has not been bothered during the trip from Modesto by car trouble. He told officials of the Automobile Club of Arizona that he had found the roads, both in Arizona ard California, exceptionaJly good, that general business conditions In the territory passed through were good. He was greatly pleased with Arizona and Salt River valley, saying that he would look it over fully during the week his party will spend here. Mr. Dold and family are travelling In a leisurely manner, camping part of the time and stopping at hotels when Occasion arises.

Mr. Dold believes that the automobile-using public patronizing auto camp grounds is willing to pay a fair fee for the use of a clean, well kept camp ground provided with proper accommodations for comfort. 0 yra lid kniffht, Joe cl -i i ,1 Tl.i.m.i Mminlur Span Will Be Added To Little Colorado -Mlcial rv.

Last October Mr. Masury's own company completed a six-wheel motor coach of the most advanced type which has since traveled many thousand miles in tests. It has two driving axles at the rear. 50 inches apart, the forward one of which is 241 Inches back of the front axle. The overall length of the ehassis.

including bumpers. In 35 feet, yet it can turn on a radium to the can turn on a 36V-foot radius to the left, and it has been driven through the narrow traffic-congested streets In New Newark and Boston during rush hours. The top of the chassis frame Is only 21 Inches above the road surface. It Is driven by a 100-horsepower six-cylinder' engine and has four-speed transmission. All four rear wheels are driven.

whU-n gives superior traction and prevents skidding. Each individual unit of the chassis is Insulated from the others by rubber blocks. Altogether, 30 rubber blocks of various sizes are employed for supports, anchors and spring shackles. These eliminate unnecessary noise and this six-wheel coach gives the passenger a succession of slow motions very similar to the action of, walking. A new de luxe typ of chair is used, the seat of which is suspended on airplan landing cord and the back rest is integral with the seat.

Superior Officers Make Short Work Of Loot Recovery SUPERIOR. Sept. 12. Several hundred dollars worth of jewelry, dresses, piece goods and revolvers were carried away when the B. Barr M.

Four days of. clever detective work, with Acneta under, surveillance at all times, led to the arrest by Superior TolIre. "pa, in Kngh.nj SHiA as a result of the Sir Henry May- ury, vice president and chief engineer of the International Motor company, in an address recently before a meeting of the Metropolitan section of the Society of Automotive Engineers in New York city.

Present types of motor vehicles are serving present needs in a more or less successful way, he said, but when strict economies become the standard for measuring road transportation, a demand will be made for vehicles that will accommodate the maximum freight or passenger loads in the minimum of street space. These vehicles must be designed so as to permit speeds commensurate with common ense and safety. They will ofJVr the utmost in passenger comfort and will prove of great value in hauling perishable goods over long distances in quantities large enough to assure strictly economic operation. The growing need for more economical transportation is paving the' way for larger vehicles. Their ultimate success lies in the future development of the highways and the development of larger vehicles that have a better distribution of the load on the road.

If greater loads ar to carried, more wheels must be called Into play In order that the ale loads can be kept within reasonable limits and so that the weight can be distributed over as great a road area as possible. Possibly in the future we jyay see both freight and passenger carrying vehicles operating on caterpillar tracks developed to a state that will allow speed and at the same time be noiseless In operation. Six-wheel and eight-wheel motor vehicles can be used to good advantage at present. The principal reason for the increasing popularity of the sis-wheel and eight-wheel vehicles is the demand from a critical riding public for riding comfort, but this type of vehicle has an equal and perhatts a greater flfld of usefulness in th trucking- business.

Officers there are constantly speeding up traffic, and when drivers return to Thoenix they are in the habit of going fast. Every year this hunch of returning motorists has to re-educated in our laws and regulations. The- systems in the three states are different because conditions are different. It Is well enough to move along- at considerable speed when there Is no danger to other persons, or when to go slow wrfuld Interfere with traffic, but slow driving is absolutely necessary among; the crowded downtown and the school streets."

Another span, 100 feet long, will be added to the bridge crossing the Little Colorado river at Holbrook, it was decided at a conference here between the county supervisors, county engineer and W. C.
