MOTORING NAMED
NATIONAL SPORT
Cartercar Official Would ReIegate
'PoOr Old Baseball" to Rear.
How He Figures It.

Motoring is the greatest Ameri-
can sport regardless OF what people
may say about baseball" said Har-
ry r. Radford, vice president and
general manager OF the Cartercar
Company, Pontiac, Mich. "All over
the country you see hundreds, yes
thousands, Of enthusiastic motorists
who take no other outings except in
their cars. Just stop and think Of
the great number OF people who take
little pleasure drives almost every ev-
ening. No other pastime can give
such restful pleasure az motor car.
Motoring Is a sport. in every sense
Of the word, but a the same time the
advantage of owning a motor car is
because Il Is worth more for bust
ness purposes than as a recreation.
Speaking of Farm Joys.
"Out on the farm is where the
pleasure Of driving a motor car IS
especially appreciated. 1 have been
surprised at the great number Of far
mers who have purchased cars for
no other reason, they said. than be-
cause a car is nice for their families
to ride in. They do not seem to think
OF the economical advantages when
they buy, the opportunities for more
pleasure overshadowing every other
feature Of owning a car. Out on a
farm the people have little else to
enjoy except their cars. They are
not in touch with baseball and their
work prevents them from such pleas
ures as fishing. picnickng, etc, which
they are supposed to enjoy. But with
car they can take short drives each
evening after a hard days work, and
It brightens them up and makes them
happy with their lot. In fact It makes
country life really worth living.
Il really think that motoring is far
more worthy Of being called the Ma
tional sport than baseball"

Sweepstakes Race
Very Hard on Tires
Moral Is to Use Good Rubber and
Then Driver Stands Chance
to Win.

Very few OF the 100000 madly
cheering spectators at the Indianapo-
lis races Decoration Day realized the
important part the tire played in the
wonderful victory of Goux, the daring
Frenchman, in his Peugeot car.
A tire is a thing of rubber and
fabric, vet it was called upon to
stand the same grueling abuse as the
highly tempered steel parts OF the au-
tomobile.
The heat generated when a tire
travels from so TO 80 miles an hour
is about all you can ask a tire Y
stand even tor a short time. Now ADD
to this the fact that Decoration Day
at indianapolis was the hottest day
on which this race was ever held
the temperature OF the track register
ing 100 degrees--and this viii give
a fair idea of the burden that the
tire carried in this great race.
The moral is to use good shoes
Tires alone can't win a race, but poor
tires can always manage to lose.

IMPORTANT LAWS
FOR AUTO OWNERS
California DeIves Into Question
Of Warning SignaIs-State
Second in Car Consumption,

SACRAMENTO, CAL, June l.
The session Of the California Legis-
lature just ended created in addition
to the widely discussed alien land
bill, a measure completely remodel
ing the automobile laws of the State.
As the second state in the Union in
the number of automobiles owned
this action assumes more than ordi-
nary importance
Under a new law which has just
been signed by Governor Johnson a
new license system is established
new rules of the road created and q
radical departure made, at least SO
far as Western States are concerned
by transferring the Issuance Of IL
censes from the Secretary of State
to the state Engineer.
Another notable feature OF the new
law is it's provision regarding the au-
tomobile warning signal. By its en-
actment California becomes the first
State to legally define what consti-
tutes an adequate signal, and also TO
make unlawful the use Of all signals
"for any purposes except as warnings
Of danger"
The law provides that every motor
vehicle shall be equipped with a sig
mailing device capable Of emitting an
abrupt sound, adequate in quality and
volume to give warning Of the APP
proach of such vehicle" This section
Of the law was framed only after most
careful consideration of the subject
by representatives of motor organiza-
lions and others, and a study Of the
regulations in force In the larger cities
throughout the country.
The topography of the State and its
widely varying road conditions made
the question of the warning signal an
important one.

AMERICAN TIRES
HELPED WIN RACE
Story of How "Firestone Bill"
EsterIy "Put One Over" on
FrenChman in Sweepstakes.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June t.
One Of the biggest coups ever pulled
Off. demonstrating American strategy
in automobile racing. is credited to
"Ffrestone Bill" Esterly, the Firestone
factory representative in Indianapolis,
who was able TO convince Jules GouX,
pilot of the winning Puegeot in the
500-mile race, of the superiority Of
American-m tires over foreign
tires and thus secured from Goux a
great deal of credit for victory in his
race.
The placing of American made tires
on the French car takes from the for
eign built machine the exclusive glo-
ry of a foreign car winning the race
and gives to American brains and
labor a big share of the credit, for
tires were a very important factor in
the big international event.
Goux tried many tires during prac-
tice, but he decided on Firestone. He
looked them over thoroughly and his
judgment was of the kind that helped
him to get $4,000 American dollars.
Mr.. Firestone Explains.
R. ]. Ffrestone, sales manager OF
the FirestOne Tire & Rubber Compa-
ny, declared that up to ten days be-
fore the event, he did not expect to
nave a flTeSLOue TIRE OIl any VI NhS
cars entered in the race.
THE driver of the Peugeot cars,
however, after trying out various
makes of tires on the track called Us
on Long Distance and requested that
in consideration of their using our
tires on cars imported into America,
that we sell them Firestone tires
said Mr.. Firestone.
I'VE promptly drew tires from our
different branch stocks in order TO
get a proper supply to Indianapolis.
our limited stock did not even permit
of a selection of tires-we took new
and old just as they ran. We did
not know positively that Wishart, OF
the Mercer team, was using our tires
until the day Of the race.
you can readily understand how
gratifying It was when Goux in his
Peugeot car won the race and Wish
art in his Mercer, took second place
both racing on Firestone tires"

WHERE ARE BESTROADS?;
PIERCE SAYS NY. AND N. ].
The Millionaire Lumberman-TouristD Describes
Strenuous Experience in $4,000 Mile Trip.

E. NJ. Pierce. a New York million
aire lumberman, whose prediction
is for automobile globe-trotting and
whose private Office is the tonneau of
his Pathfinder 40" touring car, has
started'on a run through the White
Mountains, Canada. Michigan, Indi-
ana and Ohio in the same car which,
since February, 1912, he has driven
$4,000 miles. The best roads he has
found are in New York and New Jer-
sey.
After this strenuous excursion. Mr.
Pierce, accompanied by Mrs. Pierce
and companion, will hit the transcon-
tinental trail in September for South
ern California, where they will spend
the winter
driven their Pathfinder car, the
Pierces have gained a nation wide
reputation as tourists. The big
mileage they have piled up to date is
due to their remarkable trip last sea-
son which consisted of tour all the
way around the United States in the
same car. Pierce claims a unique
record on his ride from New York to
Portland, oregon. which he says was
negotiated without a mechanical ad-
justment.
On this summers trip the Pierce
party will retrace part Of last sea-
sons route, especially in the South
west and Southern California.
Where Are Best Roads?
For pure touring enjoyment, Mr..
Pierce asserts America Is without a
rival even in the old countries. His
sidelights on road conditions on his
border line tour are interesting.
THE best roads on our entire 1912
trip were in New Jersey and New
York State" he said. After leaving
the East the Pacific Highway proved
to be a remarkable stretch. 1t is

WEAR ON TIRES
TOLD BY EXPERT
Speed Maniacs Coming With
Goodyear "Shoes" to Spin
Around Jacks Track.

The tires that withstood 21 hours Of
continual pounding at the terrific
speed Of 65.4 miles an hour for 1874
miles on the Brighton Beach Motor
drome will be used quite extensively
in the races at the Atlanta track.
THE result Of that race marked an
epoch in the history of tire manu-
featuring" says S. A. Falor manager
Of the motorcycle tire department of
the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany. Not only was such a tire
record never accomplished before, but
no tire manufacturer had ever hoped
to achieve such durability as these
tires developed. The results of this
test proved that the seemingly i'm
possible has been attained.
For 1874 miles-21 hours-two
Goodyear motorcycle tires were run
under load by George Lockner and
William Shields the winners. Nc
Neil and Eckel finished second, having
a total Of 1871 miles to their credit.
Chapple and Wray finished third, aft
er Keeling off 1856 miles. All hac
Goodyear tires. At the end OF that
period the tires were taken off and
subjected to a most searching exam
nation Marvellous to relate, but lit
lie wear was noticeable on any Of the
tires. according to the reports Of the
experts in charge Of the eXamina-
ton.
Riders on Atlanta Track.
Think what this test amounted to,
continued Mr Falor. In the dura-
ton of IL the tires were submitted 10
the severest of tests We ourselves
thought no tire ever made could
stand up under such test. Twenty
one hours at 654 miles per hour, and
under load all the timel Yet but lit
tie wear was noticeable.
All of the above riders Will be seen
on the Atlanta Motordrome during
the season.

It would be impossible to get through

Through Western Canada our trip
was very trying, as we were forced
to keep as close to the Canadian Pa

point we had to cross a railroad

Sand Storms Menacing.
1--WE were caught in a sand storm
on the California desert and held up

had to use the shovel a great deal
in order to get our car out of the
sand. The drifts ran over the run

MARTIN SPEAKS
IN DEFENSE Of
MOTOR TRUCKS
Interview Interesting Because of
Movement to Keep Heavy
Vehicles Off PeaChtree.

People who are interested in the
proposal to keep heavy vehicles off
Peachtree from Ivy Street southwark
will probably be interested also in the
following defense of the motor truck,
as expounded by c. w Martin, man
ager of the Motor Truck Tire De-
partment of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio:
THE solution of the problem which
is so seriously affecting the truck in
dustry in Baltimore is State legisla-
ton requiring larger tires. City En-
gineer McCay should have proposed
a law prohibiting the overlooking of
motor trucks, instead of suggesting
that motor trucks be barred from GER
tain streets in Baltimore. The mo-
tor truck has become an economic
necessity and such restriction would
work hardship on society.
IF there were legislation requiring
that a certain width tire should be
used to take care of the load, there
would be no danger Of cutting UP
the streets.
"Overloading is the most serious
problem that confronts truck owners
to-day When a truck is overloaded,
tuS nv u llle inc - lot Oli'S uiilll4l
ished, but the streets are also cut
up.
The evil is so prevalent that
should not be at all surprised to see
some such bill introduced at early
sessions of many State legislatures.
1t is rumored that the Automobile
Club of Maryland already has some
such project in mind.
In Porto Rico, where the streets
are mostly of asphalt, the Govern
ment regulates the size Of tire to cor
respond to the weight of the truck. -

This fabric, rubber-impregnated, is
built up with layers of pure rubber,
into the backbone of the tire. The
sides are reinforced with strips of
rubber, making the body strong where
the strain will come - eliminating
the chance of rim trouble. The tire
Is finished with the thick, tough
Goodrich tread.
This is the specially compounded
rubber which must meet the grinding,
wearing, humping, bruising contact
with the road. And it does it.
All of this-backbone and tread,
side-strips and beads converted into
a one-piece tire in the Goodrich unit

Our principle of unit molding was
the crystalization of our twenty-seven
years ofexperience with rubber before
we made the first American clincher
tire. This principle demonstrated its
exactness at the start; we have never
changed it.
In our unit molding the tread and
body become one--a unit.
