OF automobiles standing in the

OF the growth of the automobile busf-

dealers and does not include the cars

EdLe garages, At low estimate OF

Tire Troubles Are Easy to
Avoid, Say Local Dealers.

Raymond of the Raymond Bracken
company. 1.-The result is that the deal
ers and manufacturers are blamed for
the rapid wear and tear. 1t is a fact
that a chauffeur will not take the
proper care Of the tires if not instructed
10 do so. If the people would use more
effort in instructing their drivers, less
time would be required for entering
complaints TO the dealer and manu-
facturer.
There are five causes, any one of
which means death TO the tire. They
are improper initiation. improper at
taChment, the use of wrong sizes. care
less driving and hard service. A mis-
take is often made by the owner when
he purchases the cheapest tire made,
instead of the best. Cheapness i'm this
is proven TO be great extravaganza"
'Oil is one of the surest means pos
sible by which a tire can be destroyed. -
said L. NJ. Gilmer of the Gilmer Auto
company. ''In many of the garages oil
and gasoline is allowed 10 collect on
the floors, with the result that the tires
OF the machines are soon rotted."
If the efforts of the dealers at the
show will amount to anything, tire
troubles Will decrease in Salt Lake,

- A n approximate estimate Of the
"A money to be invested in auto
mobiles during the coming year
would be over 100000" said Sam II.
Sharman of the Shaman Auto company.
And this is a conservative estimate. 1t
is based upon the probable outputs by
the various factories in the country, and
from present indications 10 seems as il
the outputs will be even greater than at
first anticipated.
1.-THE output of all the factories. based
upon an authentic report, will be 100000
cars. The demand for cars Is greater
than expected when the reports by the
various factories were made at the first
Of the year, and 1t IS more than probable
that this number Will be increased bv
half. The estimate made at $50. 900 600 is
taking $500 as the average cost of car
1t is a fact that ten Of the best known
cars sell for 5000 as an average. So IN
that respect the estimate is conservative
The SS0,O00O00 does not take accessories
into consideration either.
A Sane Investment.
1t is a great investment for the peo-
pie of this country to make. but 1 be-
lieve that it is to be sane one and
there are plenty Of reasons why the in
vestment should be made Some people
believe that automobiles are bought only
as luXuries and few regard the purchase
or machine as an Investment. but 1
believe that the time is coming when the
average business man will consider Il as
much as an investment as money put
into stocks, bonds or real estate.

FARMER USES AUTO
TO TILL HIS FARM
Especial to The neutrality-suspicious.

Especial To The Republican,
Imperial, Cal, Feb. l9.-They have
put the automobile to a large number
Of uses, but it IS doubtful whether anv
person has anticipated Fred Fuller, an
Imperial valley farmer. who uses his
REQ to drag d disc" A disc is really
a disc harrow, the principal implement
used on the desert TO break raw land
and get it ready for cultivation.
Mr.. Fuller has made many trims on
the desert where no automobile has
gone before, and he found it better than
horses or even than the mule of which
most desert ranchers boast. When he
learned what it would do on the road
he drove it into his field and attached
disc to the rear axle. The land he
was on was newly leveled and ready
for barley. He disced fifteen acres in
day, which is almost twice as much q
tour-horse team would do.
The REQ people have turned their
business over to Fuller for the territory
in which he lives, and he has sold a
large number of cars partly ON the
showing his little Baby" has made.

LUXURY lM 7rH.E AUTOMOBILE
STYLE
IN WINTER RIDES
Comfortable Car Will Doubt
less Find Popular Favor
in Salt Lake.

The advent of the limousine type of
automobile has been the means by which
the automobile may surpass the traffic
on railroads. Machines are now being
shown in the city that will surpass in
comfort any railroad coach in the coun-
try.
Handsomely fitted inside with cushions
and comfortable arrangements for seats,
the big limousine affords one of the most
comfortable means for travel ever
thought Of The type was designed for
winter traffic, and heating arrangements
have been added, which also add mate
rally to the comfort of the big car.
Il believe the Packard limousine is
the best example of what has been done
during the past few years in the man
ufacture of automobiles" said L. a.
Bartlett OF the Utah Motor Car company.
1t was designed for comfort, and those
who have had the pleasure of owning and
riding in one of the new types can ap-
preciate to what extent the designer has
made a success of his IDEA.
THE limousine makes travel in winter
by way of automobile a thing of pleas
ure and comfort. In the limousine one
has not the dirt and discOmfitures of
railroad coach, while at the same time
he has all Of the room and comfort of
the best railroad car made. The system
OF Htdllu5 IuH bCEli 7NtttSS0lh III anu ltUu-
BILE from that feature has never been
experienced.
TT is a common sight in some of the
eastern cities to see people coming from
the theatre at night in their limousines,
reading by the light given from the sys-
ten of lighting in the big cars and as
comfortable as if they were at home in
their library.
4 believe that the limousine type of
car is to be popular in Salt Lake dur
ing the coming season. As soon as the
people are educated to the fact that win
ter travel in an automobile, if it be of
the limousine type, is enjoyable just
into extensive use in this city,

" HE auto show is regarded by the
dealers as the long looked for op-
portunity to drill into the minds
of the automobile owners the necessity
of caring for the tires. This is being
talked Of so much that many people
are now convinced that the care of the
tire is more essential than knowing how
IL steer the machine itself.
Complaints are seldom entered b.
the owners because Of some difficulty
with the mechanism OF their automo-
bile. but the complaints against the
wear and tear on tires are as numer-
GUS as the stars. 1t has been shown
by experiments with careful drivers
that the life OF a tire should last until
the machine has covered at least 5000
miles. Cases have been shown where
a tire has been used for three times
that number of miles.
Drivers of big racing cars seldom have
trouble along this line, and often races
are run with tires that have already
been used for thousands of miles.
The trouble with most people of to-
day who own automobiles is that they
leave the care of their tires almost en-
tireIy to the chauffeur" said I. NJ.

HUPP MOTOR COMPANY
TURNS OUT MANY CARS

The weekly output of the Hupp Motor
Car company OF Detroit, makers Of the
Hupmobile, is rapidly approaching 80
cars. During the week just closed, in
which an especial effort was made neCes-
saTy by urgent request for cars, 250 ma
chimes were shipped from the factory.
A year ago the first Hupmobile had not
made its appearance on the market; to-
day there are close to 1900 in use in all
parts of the world. During the year the
car has competed in some of the seYerest
contests in the country, both for endUT-
ance and speed: and IN December three
HupmObiles were driven over the snow
bound roads from Detroit to New York
for the Grand Central Palace show. In
the Los Angeles-PhOeniX race the HUp-
mobile crossed the desert in highly cred
liable fashion. experiencing no trouble
whatsoever, and during the summer won
a six-hOur speed race at Brighton Beach.
The decision Of the legal authorities
of Pennsylvania that every person who
drives a motor vehicle in that state
must have a driving license unless he
or she is the actual owner of the ma
chine has aroused a lot of criticism
among the automobiles of the state,
and 1t is reported that some Of the clubs
are making plans to test this interpre-
tation Of the law by bringing test suits.

No Entrance There.

There is one door in the big state.
War and Navy building which is sa-
cred to the presence of one cabinet
officer. He alone gets in and out of il:
every other person connected with
the United States navy or with the
government Of the United States has
to go around.
The door leads into the Office OF
Secretary of the Navy Meyer. He
enters through Il and leaves by it. but
all other times it remains locked.
One day Mrs. Meyer visited the de-
partment. She was in a hurry. and
as soon as she reached the corridor
in front of her husbands office she
headed for the sacred door.
Mrs. Meyer tried the door; she
twisted the knob, and then knocked.
She knocked again. The answer came
from Private Secretary Taylor's door
in the form of big colored messeu-
ger. He spoke to Mrs. Meyer. and she
followed him through the circuitous
path which leads to her husbands
desk.
Fifteen minutes later she came ont:
