Great Demand for Rubber.

Men who follow the fortunes of the rubber trade estimate that the auto mobile tire industry alone to-day con- sumes as much rubber as was the worlds total supply of crude, rubber fifteen years ago.
 = Furthermore, a liberal forty per cent. of the crude rubber product of the present goes into tires and motor car accessories.
 Statisticians figure the 1913 rubber crop at approximately 108,OO0 ton, of which nearly 45,OOO tons will be con stunned in factories identified with the automobile industry.
 America and Canada are the 1arg- est users of crude rubber. These two countries consume close to 60,00O tons in their factories representing various lines of rubber goods. F Tire factories demand an enorm ous rubber supply and have created the greatest outlet for this interesting product that has ever been known in the history of the world.

Aeroplane Has Developed Fans for Automobiles

The great strides in efficient air pro pellers for aeroplanes has had de- cided influence in the fan design used by prominent makers this year. In many cases it has been found that in creased air circulation could be at tained by using fewer blades with extremely coarse pitch. These blades are also. narrower than the conven- tionaI blades.
 At least one foreign and two Ameri- can cars this year have adopted the narrow blade fan. One French car is credited with using a two blade fan exactly similar to an aeroplane pro- perer. The development of such small details the fan go to securing in- creased efficiency from given amount of water. In other words if the quantity of air drawn in by the can be decreased. To get the high est efficiency from the least weight has been the goal toward which re- signers have for some time been str1v- ing.
 There is no doubt that any improve ments that can be developed. along the line of cooling facilities will be eag- show that the most costly motor re- pairs are practically always the re- suit of operating a car in an over heated condition. When the boiling point is reached it is always possible to run along unaware that this condi- ton exists until much water has been boiled out of the cooling system that 1t ceases to absorb the cylinder heat, as 1t should and a seized piston is the result. The introduction of the aeroplane type of fan will be more than welcome if 1t aids in the dissi- patton of more heat from the cooling water.

Great Demand for Tires.

Tire manufacturers this year are brought face to face with the stirring problem of taking care of the biggest demand for tires of all descriptions that ever has been known in the his tory of the industry.
 Something like 5,000.00o pneumat- ics will be needed to shoe Americas 8 automobiles, and in addition there are about 50,00O motor trucks to be taken care of and a flock of motorcycles ap- prozZinating 250,000 in number. This means that in order to keep all of these vehicles running, tire factories will be pushed to their utmost capac- ity.

Motoring Around the States:

Two facts dominated my mind when in the autumn Of 1911 I decided to l take a car completely round the Unit ed States, writes Thomas W. Wilby in
 the May Wide World Magazine. I | wanted to see the country, and par ticularly the. West, apart from the 1 train. I knew that no one else had | eyer undertaken a circular tour of America by automobile, and further 1 more, that whatever glory attached to the first motor trip across America from ocean to ocean was already a Brftisher's-Dr. Horatio Nelson Jack son, a Canadian domicf1ed in the Unit | ed States. In 1903 pr. Jackson had l started for New York from San Fran cisco as result of bet made in a San Francisco club. and had reached
 the Atlantic in seventy-f1ve days. What
 laurels, then, could another Britisher win?
 ''Transcontinentahsm which may
 be defined as the art of crossing America from ocean to ocean in an automobile, has in the last few years
 become a kind of fad in spite of
 the desperate condition of roads and
 trails. Usually it has degenerated d into aimless, one-way rush across the continent in which. professionalism and daredevil driving for records have been conspicuous. The idea of 8 sightseeing tour of the entire country, therefore, came to me some what in the nature of an inspiration. Only one man, professional, had attempted in a measure to circle the States and had failed. He had ship ped'' the car for five hundred miles, he had almost starved to death, his ma chine had been swallowed by quick sands, he had been lost for days in a blizzard. and was all but frozen when the search-party found him and his 9inn Mora than six n q elapsed ere he saw his starting point again.
 My route. as laid it out, was to take me from New York across the prairies of the Mississippi Valley, the great plains and the Rockies, thence through the Sierra Nevadas into Cal ifornia, and on to San Francisco. This is what is known as the Overland or Middle West Route. then an- tended to follow the Pacific Slope to SanDiego. and return through Imper- iaI Valley and the Great American Desert of the Southwest. by way of F1agstaf, Santa Fe, Kansas City and Washington. Though there was no continuous highway along these routes, there were at least recognized trails, and it seemed to me that those trails whicf1 had formed the natural routes of buffalo. Indian. and pioneer from time inmemorial would afford the best and most direct way to the chief points of interest History and tradition, the desert and the wilder ness, the great COW trails and the ov- erland routes of Mormons and gold seekers, the vast plaiis and rolling prairies of the fast-dying West, where buffalo and savage Indian alike had roamed until the white man had displaced them-all these doated like an endless panorama before my minds eye as I entered upon the work of preparation for the journey, which was to endure for hundred and five days before we again saw the sky scraping "canyons' of New York.

Woman as Motor Cyclist.

The first girl to be elected to mem bership in the Newark, (N. J.) Mo torcycIe Club was Miss Tessie Brun- ner, Miss Brunner is an enthusiastic cyclist, taking part in many of the runs of the Newark club, in which she has proven that girl can handle a motorcycle as skillfuIly as man.
 ''In my estimation there is no more exhilarating and healthful sport than motorcycling,' says Mrs. VIC. Schaef- fer, the first woman rider of Reading, Pa. And the ease with which sh e mastered" the motorcycle is shown by the fact that during her first rid ing season, she braved the business streets of New York and rode through them without rnishap.

Wire Wheels.

Early in November, -F'The Tender sons of Indianapolis announced that they were then offering to the auto mobile buying public regular models of Henderson cars equipped with wire wheels. Since the first of the year more than fifty per cent. of the ship wire wheel models.
 Prominent engineers in America and Europe hold that wire wheels de- crease the strain on the car; give greater resilency; lessen tire wear; in crease strength; and reduce the weight of the car.

Things to Know.

Motor lamps that have been ex- posed to the weather and have gather ed A coating of verdigris, which re- sists ordinary attempts to remove 1t, may be cleaned in a simple manner. Take equal proportions of good metal polish and wood alcohol, apply with a brush and allow to dry. When dry, rub with a clean cloth and the Verdigris will rub off, leaving a clean smooth surface. The lamp may then be polished in the usual way.
 Tn the use of the injection type of gasolene primer, or starting device, the same precautions are necessary as in priming the ordinary carburetor.

Auto.nobiIe Education.

Lansing, Mich.s has adopted a plan whereby public school pubils will re- ceive an automobile education. They will spend the first year in school and after that divide their time equally between school and shop, either in the automobile or gas engine shop. Af- ter @ short vacation they will alter nate between school and some Lan- sing plant, where they will get the practical experience and also will be paid for their work.

Too much gasolene pumped into the cylinders will not vaporize properly, and will tend to choke the combustion chambers with an over-rich and un- burnable mixture. If the engine fails to start on the spark after the first stimulating shot it is better to get out, grasp the crank firmly in the left hand, and wind her up" in the old fashioned and despised way.
 Before attempting to adjust the dis tance between the valve tappets and the valve stem so as to insure perfect functioning of the valve mechanism and the elimination of noise, it is well to polish the valve and it's seat in the orthodox manner. This insures the removal of all particles or carbon and
