Aggregate Tire Mileage Cost

Il have had my moneys worth from
this tire, and although it isn't worn
out, I'm hanging 1t up in my garage"
reads a letter to the Diamond Rub
ber company. 1t sounds almost un-
real yet the practice indicated is not
infrequently followed by wealthy mo-
torists.
''The idea is absolutely wrong" said
Theodore Weigele, head of the Dia-
mond Rubber company's tire depart
ment. ut is the average service the
tire user obtains which must measure
his aggregate mileage cost. No two
tires, by any human combination Of
circumstance. can encounter precisely
the same conditions, and it is inev-
table that the mileage life of the best
constructions will vary. 1t is, then,
the grand average that should be
reckoned with. 1t is not unusual for
tire to give 10000 miles or more, but
it is the motorists duty to extend
that service as much as circumstances
and safety permit. He does not know
what severe accident or succession of
hardships the next tire may encoun-
ter, to shorten its service; and this
through no fault whatever of the tube
or casing, or Of even himself. He should
make hiseaverage high and figure cost
on that average. -

ROAD RACING PLAYS AN
IMPORTANT PART WITH AUTOS

''The effects of road racing on the
selling of automobiles has long been
an important one among the manutac-
turers and sellers of motor cars. 1t
is a question that has been discussed
BY every agent in the country" SAID
a. representative of the Locomobile
Company of America yesterday. since
the first automobile was built the com
narrative merits of machines have been
proved by competition on road, track
and hill. In fact, the results of diff
fcult road race have probably been the
reaso for more sales of cars than any
other. For instance, the coming road
race of the Automobile Club of Cali
fornia. which is to be held on the Oak
land course Saturday, october 23, Will
undoubtedly result in big boost Tor
the market.
mot like track racing, where the
cars have a smooth track with every
turn in full view, the contest on roads
brings out the durability as we'll as
the speed of each car. You can run
a car a maximum distance at mini
mum speed in a road race, 1t mas
been demonstrated by the numerous
road contests held in the east that the
thousands of people who are interested
in the purchase of an automobile Will
watch the results of any big road COM
petition and select their cars accord
ing to the results of the race. AS a
factor in selling cars ! do not believe
there is anything that is as good as
hard road race"

1910 CADILLACS
BEFORE THE PUBLIC
NEW CAR WILL BE VERY MUCH
LARGER AND CLASSIER
Many Improvements Mark the Coming
Years Machine Over Those of
Last Season Very
Noticeable

The Lee Motor Car company made
the first announcement of the 1910
Cadillac last week. The new demon
strator has left the factory and will
be here within the next two weeks.
The new car has larger engine,
more power, longer wheel base, larger
wheels, larger tires, larger tonneau
and will show up better In every par
ticular than the popular 1909 model
The cylinders are four and a quar-
ter by four and a half and the motor
will be distinguished by all of the
Cadillac features. The double ignition
system is provided and this develop
ment of the ignition system will make
it possible to start the car from the
seat on the magnetic.
The car this year will have 34-inch
wheels and will have wheel base of
110 inches, four inches longer than the
1909 car. This will give a larger and
more roomy tonneau.
The automatic splash system of lubri-
cation will be used and the carbure-
tor is of special design. The clutch
is leather face, cone type, with a
spring ring There is a direct shaft
drive and three speeds and reverse Sc
lective type transmission
The front arch is an beam and the
rear, the live type of special alloy
steel. Double acting and compensat-
ing contracting and expanding brakes
are used. There is a worm and Sec
tor, adjustable steering gear and a
pressed steel frame The highest grade
type of artillery wheels are used with
quick detachable wheels. The springs
in front are semi-elliptic and the rear,
the platform type.
The standard finish will be royal
blue and the upholstery black.
Manager Green of the Lee Motor Car
company reports a big advance demand
for 1910 Cadillacs and many orders
have already been booked.
This company had a remarkable
year with the 1909 model, placing 300
cars in Southern California. AS many
as 500 will be taken this year if the
factory can make deliveries.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-26

play in the affairs with which he Is
concerned 1t may be interesting for Mr..
Hill to know that at the time the Bel
gian steel operators were migrating to
the Baltic provinces of Russia in great
numbers the resulting reduction in the
population of some parts of Belgium
was such that underwriters of certain
extensions of the Belgian railways seri-
ously considered availing themselves
of the use of the automobile to protect
themselves against what would have
been a decidedly Improbable execution
of that part of their obligations which
called for the extension of the railway
in the partially deserted districts.
The broad principle underlying this
is of course, equally applicable to any
sparsely populated territory, irrespec-
tive of the cause of that sparse
ness. We venture the opinion that
if the dissection of the census of 1920
is such as to reveal it, it will be found
that the migration during the pre-
ceding decade will have been from the
city to the country at least in large
part of the United States. We are not
so sure that the census of 1910 might
not already reveal tendency OF this
kind, provided the concentration of i'm
migration in cities does not entirely
obscure the question.
Mr. Hill should recognize the auto
mobile not as a disadvantage to the
agriculturist, but as one of the most
potent factors cooperating with his
own splendid efforts and accomplish
ments toward agricultural development.
In spite of this somewhat minor
criticism we cannot but feel that it will
be a good thing if Mr.. Hilps address
were published in pamphlet form as a
textbook in the schools.

TOUR OF FLAG TO
FLAG COMPLETED
WILL LEAVE DENVER NOV. 22
FOR MEXICO CITY
At Least Twenty Cars VIII Partici-
pate in Run and Field Is
Good One to Look
Over

The definite date has been finally de-
cided upon for the flag to flag endur-
ance and reliability run from Denver
to the City of Mexico. According to
the revised conditions the contestants,
of which there will be not less than
twenty, will leave Denver Monday, No
vember %, and end in the City of Mex
leo the week of December 13, when
an automobile show will be held in
the federal district. The entries will
close on October 8 at the office of u.
A. Wahlgreen, donor of the trophy, at
174S Stout street, Denver, Colorado.
The conditions are practically the same
as those of the Glidden tour except
for the fact that there will be no tech
nical examination at the end of the
tou. according to present plans.
Several entries have already been
made and the prospects are exception
ally bright for we'll filled event. The
starting of the contest late in Novem-
Der assures travelling through Mexico
at the most delightful climate season,
after the heavy rains, when the roads
are also at their best.
In the territory passed through from
Denver to the border the Panhandle OF
Texas especially is one of the best au-
tomobile sections of America. In
Amarillo. a town of 1900. they have
$50 machines. Plainview, with 1000
population, has 3O5 machines. This in
cludes the ranchmen in that county.
The entire Panhandle section of Texas
is equally great sales territory.
One or two questions have been
raised as to the field in Mexico, the
impression being that it is light at the
present time. We admit that, but
there are 20,OO000O people in the re-
public of Mexico with only 1850 regis
tered automobiles at the present time,
of which 1900 are in the City of Mexico.
They are just waking up to motoring.
The ranchers are beginning to look for
machines, you know that means tre-
mendous business. Heretofore, the
Mexicans have favored European
makes, but the work done by the
Chalmers-Detroit pathfinder and the
publicity in connection with same has
turned their attention to our make OF
cars.
with the many new makers of au-
tomobiles in the United States and the
factories of successful cars doubling
their capacities each year. it looks
worth while to cultivate a country that
will surely be a big consumer in the
automobile line within short time.
Most factories have the 1910 output
practically sold and don't need new
territory this year, but to look at 1t
from the broad view point, you can
afford to SOW the seed now that will
bear fruit at a time when needed.

ROAD RACING GROWS
RATHER THAN LOSES
Bio Races Planned Show Interest Is
Keen for Road Events Which
Lead to Greater Speed
Next Year

The idea that automobile road rae
ing is losing it's hold upon either the
motor car manufacturers or the auto
mobilist has received a severe setback
during the past few weeks. The an
nouncement that both the Vanderbilt
Gun race and the Long Island stock
car derby will be held over Long ISL
and circuits within the next six weeks,
has been followed by another of far
more importance. 1t is nothing less
than the statement, from an authentic
source, that the grand prize contest,
the only international automobile race
of consequence that still survives, will
be held during the spring of 1910.
With the running of this event over
the Savannah course last Thanksgiving
Day, it was thought in some quarters
that an international race of this char
acter had been witnessed, in America
at least, for the last time. But such
is not the case. Although there will
he no contest for the grand prize
trophy this year, despite the efforts
of the Savannah Automobile club and
several other rival bodies, the contest
failed to find a place on the auto rae
ing program of this year. Nevertheless
the idea of a revival of the struggle
which aroused worldwide interest
when held over the southern circuit
last fall has not been abandoned. The
powers that be in American automo-
bile circles have been steadily plan
ming for the contest, and at last their
plans have been whipped into such
shape that a formal announcement OF
the arrangements for the 1910 grand
prize will soon be forthcoming.
With the incorporation at Albany
recently of the Motor Cup Holding as
socation the work. has been greatly
simplified and rapid progress IN the
matter of the regulations and details
of the premier auto race of the world
is being made.

Buick. I was approached by the rep
resentative of a car which was also
defeated by Robertson. and invited to
join in a protest to be filed by the
next four drivers in the race. I de-
clined, as L have never protested any

earn our living in the same way, and
hope Robertson gets first money. He
drove a great race and deserves it."

handsome cars ever turned out of a

that the 1910 product far excels any
that have been turned out of that es-

throughout it's entire length. One or

There is some very excellent fun in

stagecraft, are transferred to the son
Somewhat startling r the conse-

and son, and by the time the whiskers
are gotten back to their original owner
