TIME SAVING TIRES
A BOON TO OWNERS
OF MOTOR TRUCKS

Perfected as the motor truck is to-
day in every respect Of machinery, ia
ciity Of operation and economy of
maintenance, with the tire bugaboo al
most thing of the past by reason of
better made tires, the motor truck
needed only an easy method of chang
ing tires to bring II directly into the
hands of smaller town merchants and
users far away from tire applying sta
tons. The perfection OF the demount
able feature has abolished the need of
the tire applying station and has, In
this way, opened a big field for the
truck manufacturer in the country, the
smaller towns. and in foreign countries
where trucks are now being exported
That the makers Of trucks realize
that in the demountable feature they
have something that appeals to the
possible truck buyer is to be seen by
the number of trucks equipped with
this time saving tire
The demountable feature is a devel-
opment that has been given much at
tention by the Goodyear people and the
features Of the exhibit of this company
are the Goodyear solid demountablc
l0000-mile truck tire and the Goodyear
demountable cushion truck tire The
Goodyear company also shows five 9TH
er types of tire, each of which has been
designed to fit some particular serv-

COMFORT THE AIM OF
MOTOR CAR BUILDERS

In the process of motor car develop
ment, which has been the most won
derful in the history of commerce, each
year is especially marked by a distinct
advance in some particular feature in
addition to the general advance of the
motor car as a whole.
In the early years of the industry
the years can be clearly defined by the
number of cylinders in general use,
such as single cylinder year." two
cylinder year" -four cylinder year"
and, more recently, we have six
cylinder year, Other years that stand
for some particular feature could be
designated as multiple disk clutch
year." the foredoor year" engine
starter year" etc.
But the page in automobile history
that will chronicle the developments
and improvements of the year 1913 will
be headed by the word, Comfort.
Any visitor going through the auto
mobile shows and carefully viewing the
hundreds of cars exhibited by auto
mobile manufacturers can not over
look the fact that the comfort of the
passengers has played the most impor-
tant part in the minds of the majority
of engineers and designers.
Many Factors of Comfort.
To the average layman the word
comfort in connection with motor cars
at once brings to mind the upholster-
ing. OF course, 1t bears the principal
burden of giving the occupant comfort,
but a number of other factors enter
into the problem.
J. F. Bourquin. general manager Of
the Paige Company, in speaking of the
marked trend toward increased conf
fort in automobiles said:
Nov that the mechanical end of the
car has reached such a high standard
of efficiency the engineers and design
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-03-15

ers have an opportunity to turn their
attention to other details now consid
cred necessary.
For the past year we have devoted
a considerable part Of our time to tina
development of the greatest amount Of
comfort. The upholstering is OF fine,
naturally curled hair, covered with
genuine, full grained leather. The
cushions are ten inches thick
The rear springs are underslung.
which materially adds to the easy
riding qualities of the car by lowering
the center Of gravity. Some of the
best builders in the industry have
adopted this method.
Center Control Important.
"Left-hand drive and center control
are other features that give added COM
fort The arrangement of the control
mechanism makes it convenient to en-
ter and leave the car from either side
At the same time the driver has the
levers and pedals to which he has
grown accustomed in the car fitted
with right-hand drive.
"In connection with the control ele-
ments, the auxiliary dash of the Paige
go is worth mentioning. This is
placed at the inside end of the deep
cowl, where it not only adds to the
finished appearance of the car but
brings the control elements within easy
reach of the driver, thereby adding
greatly to his convenience,
ITO omit the electric starting AMI
lighting system, while on the subject
of comfort, would be to slight one Of
the essential features that add to the
comfort and pleasures of automobiling.
To step into a car, touch a lever ami
start the motor, touch a switch AMI
turn on the lights, is the very acme q:

So common and ordinary are feats
Of the motor car nowadays that we
often pass them up as everyday oc-
currences. but when a car performs
as did l.. :. Cranes Pope Hartford on
the Macon road. we needs must pause.

hour or better and suddenly hit a

our record of hours and 20 minutes
running time from Atlanta to Macon

better on the return trip.
Two miles out Of BolingbrolS we
encountered a Hill that had a turn and

GAS TANK UNDER THE
DASH PROPER PLACE,
SAYS A HUPP EXPERT

Last season. said Assistant Chief
Engineer d. T. Hastings Of the Hupp
Motor Cam Company when we first
brought out the '32' long stroke Hupmo-
bile. the location OF the gasoline tank
under tie dash shroud, just forward Of
the drivers seat. was favorably COM
mented upon, and | notice has been
adopted by many manufactu this year.
"A big advantage in having the tank so
situated is that the gasoline is positively
fed to the carburetor by gravity, no mat
ter where you are driving be 1t on
level stretch of roads or climbing a NIL
gain, in this position # Is easily accessl-
BILE, and we do away with the bother ana
trouble of disturbing the passengers when
one desires to get at the gas tank as Is
the case when it is situated under the
seat
The Hupmobie gasoline system is
unique and possesses many advantages
not found among the other low price cars
In the first place, the quantity Of gaso-
line is always definitely known by
gauge which accurately tells the amount
in the tank. A reserve supply Of one gal
lon is always held for emergency pur-
poses which may be instantly released
simply by turning the gasoline outlet
handle.
ITO keep the gasoline clean and free
from all impurities or other substances
which will lessen its explosive efficiency,
a screen it situated underneath the tank
Just before the gasoline enters the car
buretor. This screen is 81 fine that wa
ter will not pass through, and as the
gasoline on its way to the Carburetor
goes into this screen all water and dirt is
separated from it, A drain cock let's out
all the sediment collected by this grease.
In this way the gasoline is fit for perfect
carburetion and the mixture obtained
gives maximum power 70 the motor, for
none of the gasoline is wasted by inn
proper carburetion.'

for $4,000 to give to Andrews" said
the show girl guilelessly.

the lawyer.
YES" said Mazda, "but he gave
me check of his own for $1,000 in

girl that ever lived he told me, as
he handed me the check"

attorney.
NO." said Mazda, blushing. But

phasis on the part"

81 was one of the samples" said
Mazda, blushing.
In the course of the trial, Maida's
attorney read a number of letters
from Williams to his client. They
were all signed 'Boosey," and they
protested the burning love of Will
iams for Mazda.
Miss Athens seemed very much af-
fected by the reading of the letters.
So did Williams. In fact, Williams
spent most of his time during the
reading of the letters looking yearn-
ingly at friendly, swinging sign that
smiled welcome in the distance.
The jury was out two hours. At
the end of that time it returned a
verdict that one Frank Andrews had
got quite enough of Williams dough.

Judge Hopkins in the Morals Court
yesterday.
Kinney forced Katherine Kinney,
who, he says, is his wife, to go on
the streets. and hand over her earn
ings of shame to him.
The girl was seen soliciting men at
Dearborn and Lake streets by Detec-
tive Sergeants Bowler and Ryan.
Bowler and Ryan followed her to
''get the man in the case
For, since Judge Hopkins has
taken charge of the new morals
court, the police have discovered that
there is at least one Judge who does
not believe in a double standard of
morals that let's men live off earnings
of women, and sends the women to
the BrideweIl for allowing the men
to do it..
Bowler and Ryan followed the girl
to the Clark hotel, IT'S North Clark
street. There they saw her meet Kin
ney and turn over money to him.
They arrested Kinney on a charge
of pandering, and brought him before
Judge Hopkins, to whom they ex-
planned the case. Kinney pleaded
guilty and the six months sentence
and $500 fine, which, if not paid,
means another 600 days in the Bird
well, were passed.
Katherine Kinney, the girl who had
been the dupe of the man, was pa
rolled for six months, and set free.

To Be Photographed.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat The
mediocre, old-fashioned professional
photograph WAS a screaming lesson
against the tactics Of photographers.
You were all hands and feet and
staring. ghastly grin. Nowadays, for
tlnately, the professional photographer
is often an artist. He almost always
understands something about posing
and usually understands enough about
human nature to put his subjects in
a pleasant, quiet frame Of mind before
he clicks the shutter Of the camera
and you should never trust yourself to
the mercy of 4 photographer who does
not understand these things.
The photographers who take photo
graphs in the home are the most salts
factory ones, as a rule They realize
the value of the usual surroundings on
their subjects. This sort Of photo
grapher is especially successful with
