Aim Of the Democratic party.

The words OF Congressman RedHeld,
outlining the policy Of the Democratic
party, are worth remembering:
we would replace protection with
self-help childhood with manhood,
shackles with freedom. Our industries
will never be as strong and sturdy as
they ought till they become self
reliant. For such self-reliance the
Democratic party hopes. and hopes
with the strong confidence Of a friend
and not with the sinister design Of a
foe"

GOODRICH TIRES :,
FOR STUDEBAKERS
Wonderful Tests Made by Com

After standing q test with the pro-
duct OF FIVE other leading manufac-
turers, the Goodrich tire. has been
selected as the standard equipment
for the new Studebaker u.s." 80
and Six" These companies were In
vited to submit not bids, but tires.
Carl M. Weise, consulting engines
In charge OF the Studebaker labora-
tory, was told TO design a test which
decide the issue.
A framework was erected on which
was mounted front axle carrying q
wheel and tire. A lever pressed down
upon the axle with a weight Of 700
pounds. Reasonable spring action
was provided.
At the bottom, the tire rested on a
pulley to which were bolted at r.
regular intervals, blocks OF wood, two
inches high. The apparatus was at
tached to motor which ran the pull
ley at a rate equivalent to 1S.5 miles
per hour for the wheel and tire. Each
tire was Undated to the pressure claim
ed for best results; odometer ard
speedometeT were attached; pressure
gauges, thermometers and charts were
and the power was switched
on.
To appreciate the severity OF this
test Is impossible to one moi present
while 1t was In progress. The con-
tinuous succession Of humping was so
TO the nerves OF the occu-
pants of the building that, after tho
first day It was found necessary to
operate the machinery only by night.
Shifts were arranged. however, and
tire after tire bounced about on the
cruel surface from early evening until
the regular working hours of the day
began. Short stops were made every
two hours, to permit the engineer In
charge to test pressures and temper
atures. and to make the regular e1
tries on the chart.
To the credit OF the manuf acturers
be It known that every ono OF the
tires showed wonderful endurance.

Furthermore, there Is still another

must be reckoned with. This is among
the older firms engaged In the pro.

moderate priced underslung there has
been a gradually increasing demand
that indicates that the season OF 1918
will prove record one. Up to tho
twentieth OF November there had
been an increase In the sale OF Regal
undertakings equal to two HUNDRED and
thirty-five per cent of what II YVES for

Yosemite Park Road Plans

florists

Oliver C.. Hutchinson, general man

now making a hurried visit to the va
rious Oldsmobile branches In the
southwest in order that he may get in
personal touch with business condi-
tons before the opening of the 1913

Mr.. Hutchinson writes from Los
Angeles: Motorists In this part or
California are greatly pleased over the
advance Of plans which are being
made TO improve and open a private
road through the outer part OF Yosem-
lite National park. Tourists in gen.
eral have obtained an erroneous Inn
preston that the government does
not want TO grant access TO the park
to automobiles; such Is not the case,
however The government merely
wants to safeguard the tourist, as the
Dads through the park are not In
hape to carry automobiles, and the
overnment cannot see its way clear
0 make a sufficient appropriation to
make the Yosemite roads safe.
THE Yosemite valley Is directly In
control OF the government, but In the
outer part OF the park are several
roads controlled by private interests.
These are the roads which the various
automobile clubs propose to open and
VIII contribute TO a fund for that
purpose. The movement has already
started and II Is expected that by
next June automobiles can come as
far into the park as Glacier Point.
when the interest OF automobile
owners in Los Angeles and vicinity Is
aroused, something is bound to hap
pen, as automobiles in this section
seem to be as numerous as the Red
woods In the National park, and the
streets around the automobile fac

Detroit has a new railroad which

Heretofore there has been consid-

railroad and part by another. and con-
sequently there were frequent delays
occurring.
II Is believed that the operation OF
this railroad will greatly expedite
