Automobile Fans
AS Cooling Agent

According to ]. w. Goldsmith, Of the
local Hudson Automobile Agency, the
present narrow bladed type of fan in
use on many automobiles is a direct
development from aeroplane engi-
neering practice. Not so very long
ago fans in use on the engines Of mo-
tor cars were big-baded affairs, like
a boys paper windmill. To-day fans
are made with but four, sometimes
three, blades, and some Of the French
cars are equipped with fans having
but two blades. Designers are using
in the latest fans narrow, strong
blades with very coarse pitch. II is
found that these small blades draw, or
drive, more air than did the old style,
big-bladed fan.
To draw a constant stream OF air
through the radiator and drive II over
the engine, eXpelling 1t at the rear
with its accumulated heat and vapor
at the rear of the engine and under
the car is the function Of the fan.
Some engines are so designed as to
get rid of surplus heat and Vapors
very readily. The Hudson designers,
according to Mr.. Goldsmith, use a
narrow bladed, coarse pitched fan
driven at fairly high speed, and this
with the accurate designing of the
cooling system, avoids oVerheating to
marked degree.
Hudson cars may be operated on
low gear for long periods without fear
of overheating, that bugbear of coun-
try drivers. The excellent design of
the "aeroplane" fan has much TO do
with this successful cooling.

Grand Canyon Tour
Bigger Than Ever
Unique Event in Arizona Travels
Same Course as Last Year, With
Studebakers Only.

The touring season in the West is
being formally ushered in this month
by the second annual Grand Canyon
run. Fifty cars in line promise to
furnish the largest and most import
ant event Of its kind on the 1918
calendar.
Begun last year as a protest
yainst the rough. uncared-for roads
o. Arizona, the tour has already
brought about highway Improvement
all along the line between Phoenix
and the Canyon. State and local au-
tlorities have combined to smooth
out many of the worst stretches. A
new road has been built, at great
cost, around the notorious Yarnell
grade, known to motorists Of Arizona
as one of the toughest climbs up
" hiCh any car has successfully been
driven. While there is little of the
highway visible. the present state of
the trail permits much riding on high
gear, providing the tourist is equip
ped with a light, powerful car and
doesn't mind a good jounce now and
then.
Aside from the rough character of
the road, the Grand Canyon tour is
remarkable in several other respects.
I he event, like that of last year, is
open to Studebaker cars only. Though
starting at Phoenix, it included both
Il st year and this entries from Pres
Cott Tucson, Flagstaff and other Ari-
iona towns, with several cars from
Los Angeles. On the six-day timer
a-y, the tour spends one night at
Prescott and one in the tourist no.
tel at the Canyon. The other three
ghts en- route the party is cared
for at the famous Harvey houses of
the Santa Fe Railroad system. Be-
des the Canyon itself, the route of
the tour affords an inspection of Ari-
zJna's famous lava beds, ice caves
aud cliff -dweller cities. 1t also pass
es through several Hopi and Navajo
Indian reservations.

Cost Very High
In Automobiles
Owner Has No Conception of EN-
pense, According TO Carterear
oficial-Reasons Given.

Whether or not the cost Of motor
cars will be lowered depends on Sc
curing new methods Of applying labor
and more efficient manufacturing
methods, according TO Harry r, Rad
ford, vice president and general man
ager Of the Cartercar Company.
THE average person intending to
buy a car has absolutely no idea of
the real cost of building a motor
car" says Mr.. Radford. He thinks
that the castings and other parts
are quickly made and that materials
are inexpensive Tell the average
person that a certain casting. Of
aluminium, would cost about S35 or
$40 to the manufacturer and he would
be astonished One who is not IA
miliar with the construction Of an
automobile does not begin to realize
the immense amount of work neces-
sary in getting every part absolutely
right He does not understand that
every part must be fitted exact or
the car can not give good service.
When Owner Wakes Up.
1T is when the owner has to buy
new parts that he awakes TO the real
cost Of making a car He has never
before had any idea Of what the real
cost is and when he finds out he be-
lieves he is being charged eXtortion-
ately when, in fact, he usually gets
extras at just about what they cost
the manufacturer
Il tind that a surprisingly large
number Of Cartercar owners are peo-
pie who have previously used other
cars, but have changed to this car
because of the gearless transmission.
This form Of transmission eliminates
the buying OF new parts, because
there is nothing about II to cause
trouble. / believe this is only a step
to the simplicity that will be obtain
ed in motor car construction during
the next few years"

GOODYEAR TIRES
STAND LONG RUN
Washington Endurance Contest
Was Severe Test-Goyern-
ment officers in Charge,

At the end of the recent truck en-
durance run held in Washington, the
tires were removed and subjected to
a most searching examination by the
Government officials in charge of the
test. According to their report, Good
year struck tires won a decided vie
tory. c. w, Martin, manager truck
tire department, The Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company Akron, Ohio,
was particularly pleased with the
outcome Of the tests and ascribed
the success of the tires to the fact
that the Goodyear concern has spe-
clalized on six types Of truck tires,
thus aiming at special tire for
every purpose.
NO one type of tire can meet
every condition" said Mr.. Martin.
"The weight and speed Of different
trucks and different road conditions,
demand specific treatment. In my
opinion, the fact that each of eight
classes of trucks in this run was
equipped with tires made especially
TO meet the conditions that particu-
lar type of truck must undergo,
played a large part in determining
the success Of the run.
THE showing of our individual
block tire in the heavy truck class
was especially noteworthy In the
duration of the test the tires re-
ceived harder treatment than would
have been given them in six months
of ordinary service. Four days Of
running covering 22S miles, under
load ali the time, over steep hills,
crossing the mountains between
Washington and Hagerstown, Nd.
Yet no perceptible sign Of wear was
on the block tires, Not an instance
of slipping or skidding was recorded.
Nor did a single block work loose
and chafe. The fixity Of the blocks,
which was recorded, can be traced to
the individual fastening which holds
the blocks. No fastening holding
several blocks could have held or
ever win hold every block uniformly
tight. Some blocks are sure 10 re-
quire more compression than others,
especially after being used under
such severe conditions"

ANNISTON, ALA, June 2i.-A
large party Of automobiusts went
from here Thursday to meet State
Highway Engineer w. S. Keller, who
reached Admission on his tour OF the

the visitors were royalty entertained.
Much interest has been manifested
in the good roads movement in An
niston and Calhoun County within the
past few years, this county having
contracted for over 80 miles Of model
highways in about a year. Mr. Tur-
ncr will urge AnnistOns claims i
the selection Of State highway.
II has been suggested that a meet
ing be held here Of all the County
Commissioners between Admission and
Atlanta, or Birmingham and Atlanta.
to discuss the question of an East

OAKLAND YEAR,
| SAYS DANIELS
IN INTERVIEW
more Than LOO Men Employed
at Plant and Seasons Bust
ness Will Be $15,OOO,OOO.

This is an Oakland year." said
George E. Daniels, vice president ana
general manager of the Oakland, re-
Gently, in discussing the motor car
situation.
I'VE are running our plant at ca
pacity to fill orders and more than
HOO men are employed. During May
our daily shipments averaged so cars.
Oaklands are now being sold by over
1900 dealers. The total business for
the season will be approximately
S15,000,0 600.
"An1 the best of it is that there is
going to be no let up, if we take the
word of the dealers who are clamor-
ing for cars. They are unanimous in
declaring that the Oakland line for
1913 has been the biggest kind Of a
hit in the motoring world We take
this as a good omen because we are
planning to do even bigger things in
1914 and we know that the car is this
year intrenching itself in popular ia
vOr so that 1t will be in still greater
demand next year
Some idea of the Juror that the
Oakland has created this year is evil
denCed by its sale in Detroit. The
Michigan metropolis is motor car
wise. The people there see the new
models before anyone else; hardly a
family but has some member in the
business; and people discuss the
technical points of automobiles to a
surprising degree. For a car to make
good in Detroit in the big sense It
has to have something back of 1t.
Therefore. we are distinctly proud
that the Oakland has been leading
the field in retail sales during the
spring and that the Oakland Six
Greyhound has been meeting cars
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000 in com
petition and coming off victor
What is true of Detroit is true of
the other large cities where men who
formerly bought the higher priced
American cars and European impor-
tatiOns have enthusiastically received
the Oakland Six and bought 1t for
their use. We have also invaded the
foreign field with marked success, and.
taken all in all, we are about as proud
as manufacturing concern can be
of the way its product has been re-
ceived this year,

WHO BLUFFED IN
PROPOSED RACE?
Burman Had Money Bags to
Wager, and Declares GOux
Took "FrenCh Leave"

When Bob Burman, the speed king,
made his appearance in New York
June with certified check for So
600 as earnest money" for a match
race with Jules Goux, who won the
Indianapolis 500-mlle race in his
Peugeot he expected to have no
trouble at all in closing for the match.
1t will be recalled that following the
race of May 30 Forrest NJ Keeton,
vice president of the Keeton Motor
Company, Of Detroit whose car Bur
man drove, issued a challenge to the
victorious Peugeot driver for a race
of 500 miles for $1,000 to $4,000 per
side.
This challenge on behalf of Burman
was due to the fact that none of his
troubles in the race were due to the
car itself, which had proved its su-
periOrity at leo miles by leading in
the contest by four laps. Lightning
struck in strange place when a part
Of the tire thrown by the Sunbeam
car punctured the KeetOn gasoline
tank, causing all of the trouble which
later ensued. Burman was at all
times a faVorite on the track and his
performances made him so. Mr. Kee-
ton asserted his belief that lightning
never strikes twice in the same place"
and so issued the challenge, and, after
doing so, Burman proved his earnest
intentions by starting for New York
to close the race.
The certified check which he took
with him was for but a part Of the
wager and the speed king stood in a
position to cover any amount de-
manded by A. G. Kaufman, president
nf the BA1rnnf
pany, Of New York. Mr. Kaufman
had said when he heard of the Keeton
challenge: Il have received no chal-
lenge of any sort from L. NJ. Kee-
ton at present for a match race Of
800 miles between NJ GouX and Mr..
Burman. However if such a chal-
leuge has been made and a side bet
of $4,000 demanded, we will give
them the race. All I ask is that a
certified check be placed in the hands
Of Charles w. Sedwick. In such event.
we will keep NJ. GouX here and ar
range the preliminaries for such a
race"
Goux was said to be DESTROYS of
wagering $4,000 on the outcome and
Burman at once added a sum Of
$4,000 to the amount Of the wager
which Charles b. Shaffer, president
of the Keeton Company, readily
agreed to put up. When Burman
reached New York ready to close the
race for any amount the Frenchman
might desire, he found, much to his
surprise, that NJ. Goux, with his
teammates and the winning car. had
been sent back to Europe, and was
informed by the representatives of
the Peugeot Company in this country
that it would be impossible to make
a race for enough money to induce
them to return. InasmuCh as Bur
man was in New York with the
money and ready to close for any
amount the F'renchman might name,
even though it had been $50 600 per
side, and inasmuch as Mr. Kaufman
had been notified in New York that
a certified check as an evidence Of
good faith would be forthcoming
within IS hours, the speed king CON
sidered that his was the best side
of the argument.

CHANGE Of TIRES
IN HALF AN HOUR
Wylie West Tells How it Can be
Done With New Equipment
of FireStOne.
BY WYLlE WEST.
Local Manager, The Firestone Tire
and Rubber Co.

wiz NNNbbNI W.
Any truck owner can now change
his own tires in half an hour, often
in even shorter time, and do il with
out the use OF any special machinery.
The FfrestOne Tire and Rubber
Company are offering a quick re-
movable rim which makes this big
economy possible. This rim unques-
tionably removes the final obstacle to
continuous and profitable truck serv-
ice.
Wylie West, local manager Of that
company, when interviewed on this
subject, said:
THE quick removable rim, as now
proved practical, will do more to
increase the use of motor driven
trucks than anything since the prsc-
teal truck tire was evolved.
Working hand in hand with this
rim is the excellent work OF the So
ciety of Automobile Engineers, which
has established a standard for wheel
and felloe band.
ITO illustrate the almost revolu-
tionary effect and value OF the Fire
stone removable rim, II is necessar y
TO recall the disadvantages and losses
Of the old time methods.
Before S. A. p. stands were estab-
lished wheels were made of a dozen
different sizes, and few wheel manu-
facturers made their products to any
standard sizes The result was con-
fusion. When any truck owner found
II necessary to change the make Of
his tires, or even to renew a tire of
the same make, II was necessary for
him to send his wheel to the tire
service station or factory, and have
it either trimmed or built up to fit
the tire The result was a big loss
Of valuable time in the use Of his
truck, which in a few days would
eat up a large amount Of the profit
on his business.
THE S. A. e. standard helped ma
terially, but even then II was a mat
ter OF long delay to have tires
changed. The owner must lose sew
eral days time, waiting for the aver
age tire service station to get around
to his Job. Again there was a heavy
loss
Three years ago we first put out
quick removable rim. Immediately
the biggest truck users took adVant-
age OF its possibilities. To-day a ma
jority of Firestone Truck Tire users
have nothing but the removable rim
on their trucks, and the number is
increasing daily. In fact. when we
have wheels sent to our service sta
lions In all cities, for tire changes,
we invariably suggest TO the owner
that he equip with these rims, and
care for his own tire changes in the
future.
1T is an easy matter to figure the
economy thus made possible, par
ticuIarly in the smaller cities and
towns, where there is no tire service
station"
