FIRSET0NE ADDS BIG
SIZES TO STYLES MADE
Cars Previously Understood Are Now
Equipped in Sizes That Will Fit
the Occasion

In order to satisfy the tire demand
to make a great many different sizes
and styles of tires, and where one or
two different sizes were enough in the
past u dozen are now made. The Fire
stone Tire and Rubber company Of
Akron, o., for instance, which makes
every style of tire for every size Of
wheel, some time ago had to add tha
big 42X4l2-inch tire to it's number, and
though the number Of owners using
cars with wheels of this size is as yet
comparatively small, there seems to be
growing demand for tires of this
size, and the indications point to a
more general use Of large tires in the
future. A few years ago wheels and
tires of the size referred to were viewed
with suspicion by makers and buyers
alike, but this is far from being the
case now. Heretofore, it was figured
that big wheels would not stand the
strain of turning corners. The fallacy
Of this, however, has been partly
proved by the fact that no trouble has
as yet been had with big wheels or
tires on cars that are now being used.
Several automobile concerns have an
nounced larger wheels for next year,
which will mean, of course, larger
tires, which seems indicative Of the
future large size of wheels and tires on
automobiles
Tire sizes are increased really for
two reasons-for improved riding quail
ties and to reduce the ultimate tire
cost. Although the tire manufacturers
united long ago and announced a min.
imum tire size for certain axle weights,
it Is a fact that in many cases cars
have gone greatly understood and as
a result, many tire troubles have
arisen. Much tire trouble, too, is due
to the overlooking of cars and it is
felt that by increasing tire sizes much
of the difficulty from this source will
he overcome

WHAT 1T MEANS TO
DRIVE A RAGING CAR

In the Vanderbilt Cup race a glorious
spectacle Of daring. which would have
spelled death if there had been a single
quiver, occurred on one of the early
laps at Death Cave and Dip" as the
section of the course at the Central
park bridge Is known. At this point
the road and the bridge structure will
accommodate but two cars, and with
only a few inches to spare at that.
Imagine, then, the feelings of the spec
tators when, on the lap in question,
cars Nos. 16 and 12, driven by Robert
son and Salzman, respectively, were
seen coming down the course neck and
neck-with Lytle's car only a short dis
tance back of them and gaining on
them rapidly. The general practice of
the motorists at Death Curve" is to
slow up a bit, but Salzman, determined
to pass Robertson and run away from
Lytle, did nothing Of the SORT Robert
son, firm in his decision to hold the
lead. followed suit. and Lytle, instead
of slowing down, 'let 'er out"
Fifty feet from the bridge the two
leading cars were almost rubbing
against each other, side by side, and
thus they reached the bridge. Not a
cars length behind was Lytle and in
this fashion the almost compass mass
Of roaring machinery took the 40-foot
descent beyond the bridge. But that
was not all of the thrill.
At the foot of the incline there is
an abrupt turn in the road to the left,
and at this moment the inside bank
was crowded with careless spectators.
AS the three cars shot down the drop
and flew across the angle, More in the
air than on the ground, the drivers, in
addition to keeping their cars from
crashing into each other, were COM
PEELED to clear the crowd by a frac-
tion of an inch. SO magnificent was
their display of courage. skill and
nerve that when the cars disappeared
down the road. the people forgot their
own recent danger and gave a cheer
for the men who had kept their heads

McLarty Out Wednesday

Leonard McLarty, the plucky young
driver of the Sunset--or rather the lit
tie Peter Pan--is able to be out in the
sun at the hospital after his injuries
received in the races at Ascot park
when his car turned turtle with him.
The hospital authorities hope to send
McLarty home by the latter part of
today, or tomorrow at the farthest.

COST OF OWNING AUTOMOBILE

The fuel consumption of the cheap
little runabouts is wonderfully small.
In an official test at the New York
automobile carnival a year ago the
record established was 42.6 miles to a
gallon of gasoline, though another car
actually scored 46 miles a gallon, but
lost the record by deviating from the
prescribed course.
A gallon of gasoline costs anywhere
from 25 cents, when bought at road
side garage, down to ~ cents when pur-
chased by the barrel While the aver
age driver under average conditions
will hardly do more than half as well,
he should be thankful to be able to
travel at a cost of a quarter of cent
to half cent per passenger a mile for
fuel. A heavy car that runs nine miles
per gallon of gasoline is doing well.
AS for actual available power the
purchaser of an $3.50 five-passenger
touring car, with its 20-horse power
engine, gets exactly as much as he
could get in a $1,000 car with a 3O-horse
power engine. The cheaper ear weighs
only 1900 pounds. Assuming the weight
of the passengers to be 600 pounds, the
total dead and live load is 1900 pounds,
or ninety pounds per horse power,
The present year marks the real be-
ginning of the era of the lOw-prced
car, which, as the dealers understand
the term, is one that calls for less than
$20O0
Precisely how much less depends upon
the individual purchaser, his bank ac-
count and the service required of the
car. The average selling price of the
100000 cars to be built i'm 1910 will be
$12G0 though there is every indication
that the cars selling below that will be
in considerable demand.
If a two-passenger car for ordinary
use is wanted a runabout that will fill
the bill can be had for $3.50. For $130
more better car can be bought, whi!e
one still better. with a seat in the
rumble for a third passenger can be
had for $3.50. For $3.50 a touring car
seating five may be had which will
fully meet the requirements of the
average man, if he is a reasonable
person.

COMMITTEE TO
CHOOSE PLACE
FOR BIG MEET
PLANS FOR AVIATION WEEK
COMPLETED
AERO CLUB OF AMERICA ASKED
FOR SANCTION
Over Fifty Entries for Great Affair
Are Received, Making List For
midable One-No Hitch
Possible

The aviation week committee will
select a site for the aviation camp to-
day, thereby initiating a new activity
In the preparations. Already lumber
for the grandstands and boxes, 10000
feet of circus sidewalks for temporary
fencing and numerous other details
have been taken up, so that fast work
may be accomplished as soon as the
site is definitely known.
The only apparent hitch is regarding
the sanction of the Aero Club of Amer
lea, but If this is not granted in New
York today the big meet will proceed
anyhow, so members of the aviation
week committee and of the Aero Club
of California declare. They assert
that it has assumed too great proper
tons to be interfered with by eastern
jealousy and that the famous flyers
who are under contract to appear can
not break these contracts, even If they
should wish to do so.
Word was received at the meeting
of the Aero Club of California last
night that il was claimed at the Of
flee of the Aero Club of America that
no application Tor sanction had been
received, Notwithstanding repeated
kilograms and letters to the club and
its officers from President TWinlng of
the Aero Club of California.
That body took action last night
which resulted in the sending of the
following telegram as officially coming
from the Aero Club of California, to be
presented to the board of governors of
the Aero Club of America at IL o'clock
this morning.
A telegram from an authentic source

has not received our application for
sanction for the aviation meet in Los

order to make sure the Aero Club of
California hereby applies for the sane
tion from the Aero club of America
TO hold the aviation meet in Los An
geles on those dates. This aviation
meet is financed by H. r. Huntington
and the Merchants and Manufactur-
ers' association of Los Angeles to the
extent of 100000. The Aero Club Of
California has given the aviation eX-
ecutive committee full power to act
under the rules of the Aero Club of
California as an affiliated body of the
Aero Club of America. 1t is the in
tention of the Aero Club of California
TO see that all rules and regulations Of
the Aero club of America and of the
federated clubs are carried out in this
meet. All prizes are guaranteed by
the aviation committee and the Aero
Club Of California. The latter body
has written two letters and also sent
two kilograms asking for sanction. On
December Is We forwarded by letter a
full list Of prizes to be contested for.

necessary. We have received the year
