ANcIeNTs FOND OF LUXURY
Excessive Comforts Of the Present Day
Have All Been Duplicated
in the Past.

There has been an outcry Of late
against the luxurious appointments Of
steamships crossing the Atlantic. The
finger of scorn has been pointed at
golf links. squash courts, perfumed
baths, rose bushes. etc, provided for
the pampered passengers. And there
are some who sigh for the good old
days when flannel shirt without re.

the correct thing at dinner; when
women were as grubs until land was
sighted, and then they appeared on

OILY WATER FORMS
FILM IN RADIATOR,
SAYS AUTO EXPERT

"Oil in water has a tendency to form a
film over metal and cling there with a
tenacity which is much greater than is
often suspected" says Thomas Smart,
of the Overland company.
When oil gets in the radiator an oil
film will often collect on the radiating
surface, and, as a result. the water is not
properly cooled. Oil film is a very poor
conductor of heat and it will not wash
off in spite of temperature of 1870 de-
grees or Whereabouts, at which the cooling
solution in the average car stays, the
contact of the radiating surface being cut
off. overheating results, with possible
damage to the motor.
ITO eliminate this trouble, dissolve a
couple of handfuls of ordinary washing
soda in a pail of water and run it through
the cooling system for two or three MIN
utes This cuts off the film of oil and
the system should then be flushed out
with fresh water

MOTORCYCLE TIRES
FORM BIG INDUSTRY,
SAYS GOODYEAR MAN

Although most people are familiar
TO some EXTENT with the remarkable
growth and the immense volume OF
business now done by automobile tire
manufacturers in this country, very few
people know that there is also a volume
OF business in the motorcycle tire In
dustry that has grown astoundingly in
the past few years" says S. A. Falor.
sales manager of the motorcycle tire
department of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company.
Goodyear No. Rim Cut tires have
placed this company al the head of the
automobile tire industry, but in the
motorcycle tire field Goodyear tires
predominant even more.
Out of % championship races at the
f. A. NJ. meet held at Columbus in the
middle of July, % were won on Good
year Blue Streak tires Constant. the
Brooklyn rider, won the amateur cham
piOnship and the Bosch trophy and
Eddie Hasha, of Dallas Texas. carried
off the ten-mile professional champion
ship on the same tires. covering the
distance in six minutes and 40 seconds.
Ninety per cent of the races are won
on Goodyear tires and 100 per cent OF
motorcycle manufacturers use Good

3 AUTOMOBILE NOTES 3

The corporation of the city of Rome.
Italy, is considering the building of an
immense motordrome for the purpose Of
encouraging visitors to the Eternal City
through a modern revival of the gories
of the chariot races brought up to date.
A site has been chosen just outside of
the city limits, and the mayor and other
public spirited citizens are offering sub
scriptions to help forward the project.
The revival of the ancient rivalry of
the wheel is largely due to the interest in
the Olympic games at Stockholm. 1t is
deplored that Italian athletes did not
have an opportunity TO prove the prowess
in the sports OF their hereditary rivals,
1t is hoped that through great auto
tournament many Americans would be
encouraged to spend a large part of their
vacation in and around Rome This year
there have been comparatively few tour
lists from the United States. and most Ut
the hotels and resorts have enjoyed but a
lean season.
As the truck depends upon good roads,
it is rather appropriate that it should
find success in road building. This has
