HIGHEST COURT MAY
GET TAXATION CASE
A. A. A. Plans to Garry Issue
of Double Assessment Up
to Supreme Tribunal.

The constitutlonality of the double
taxation of automobiles as enforced by
many States is to be passed upon by
the United States Supreme Court, il
the American Automobile Associations
plans so through.
II was as a result Of the growing
inclination on the part Of many States
to increase the registration tax. while
at the same time taxing automobiles
as personal property. and thus COM
pelling motorists to pay an unjust pro-
portion Of road construction and main
tenance. that this move was made at a

user that the cost of greater facility
in roads communication. with the con-
sequent saving in the transport of mer-

ton Of double taxation and Iiscrimina-

.TrainIoad Sells His
100000 Worth of Cars

Two men chanced to meet in a Chi
cago hotel lobby last week, and be-
fore they parted had closed a deal for
$500. coo worth of motor cars. The
transaction consumed one half hour.
The only records made were the cita-
tions the buyer noted in his pocket
memorandum and what the salesman
scribbled on the back of a business
card. The salesman was "Trainload'

Buick Motor Company. and the buyer

fact that it's a nice little bunch Of
business from a company standpoint,
II goes even farther. Time was, when
bankers SHE'D at the automobile game
and predicted dire calamity because
so much money was being put into
motor cars the country over.

in circulation. and that is always a

of business in which a deal of this
size could be put through with such

COMFORT IN MOTORS
IS PRESENT IDEAL
Nowadays, Automobiles Are
Made With Luxurious Cush-
ions and Long Wheel Bases.

"A few years ago the man with a
motor car that ran didn't expect TO be
particularly comfortable, for he felt
quite satisfied if his car would run
when he wanted II to-" said Arthur
Stanley Zell. of the Zell Motor Car
Company.
All that is a thing of the past. how
ever. Nowadays motor car purchasers
are demanding comfort. and automobile
designers are bending every effort to
secure comfort.
Quite naturally, the first great ad-
vances in automobile comfort were
made in the high-priced cars. II was
considered quite radical departure
a couple or three years ago when one
manufacturer of high-pTiced cars ad-
able. Now there is no excuse Tor any
one, who spends $1,Oo0 or more for
car buying one which is not more
comfortable than the highest priced
Especially among the standard
medium-priced cars has the past year
seen a wonderful advancement along
the lines of comfort. Designers now
appreciate that long wheel base. big
wheels and tires, long flexible springs.
are the first elements of comforta Bile
motoring. Among tire leading medium
priced cars. these features will COM
pare favorably with the same features
of $500 and 5000 cars.
There has been a marked advance
ment in the matter Of upholstery. The
adoption of Turkish cushion springs in
automobile upholstery has done more TO
relieve the fatigue OF long distance
touring or rough riding than any other
single feature. This season we are
using cushions eleven inches thiek-a
height of luxury in upholstery that was
not dreamed of two years ago. The
standard car of today has upholstery as
soft and as luxurious as the most eX-
pensive over-stuffed furniture. The
seats are tilted backward SO that both
pa ssensers and driver sit in natural and
positions Seats are not
too high from the floor. and they are
wide enough so that passengers are not
crowded.
"A season or two ago. the driver Of a
car was expected to adapt himself TO
the car. The mechanism was arranged
to suit the manufacturer. and the man
who drove his car 200 miles in a single
day was considered quite a hero. The
new cars provide every comfort for the
driver as well as for passengers.
Pedals. gear shift: and brake levers,
steering wheel, in fact all of the things
which require the drivers attention
are So located that he NAV sit in a
comfortable position and have
full control of his car.
Comfort does not necessarily mean
better mechanical service from a car.
II does mean greater satisfaction. And
there is no reason WHY the purchaser
of 1913 model should not secure all
the features of comfort without an un-
usual expenditure for those features

Missionaries Aided
By Use Of Motorcycles

Perhaps to no class of people has the
motorcycle becvme more valuable than
TO missionaries. both in foreign coun-
tries and at home. The very nature Of
their work necessitates that these rnen
cover large territory where travelling
facilities are limited. Until recently
missionaries have had to depend upon
horses, or perhaps even slower means
of transportation. And. as in some
countries they furnish practically the
only medical aid given the inhabitants.
the delay in transportation has often
proven very serious. BY using a mo-
torcycle. the missionaries are not only
able to keep in closer touch with ths
people. but can reach any part OF their
districts within a comparatively short
time. in case OF sickness.
Among those who have found the
motorcycle very useful in missionary
work is Sir David Bruce who employed
three motorcycles in his campaign
against the terrible sleeping sickness i'm
central Africa. One OF these machines
he used himself. consigning the others
to his assistants.

SEEK CHEAPER FUEL
FOR AUTOMOBILES
Manufacturers Beginning to Use
Gas for Testing Purposes,
Instead of GasoIene.

AS a reaction against the high cost OF
gasolene. automobile manufacturers are
beginning to employ cheaper fuels for
testing purposes, and while this prac-
tice has not yet become general, from
present indications it is safe to predict
1t represents possible saving of up
ward of 3,0O00O gallons OF gasolene
within the next twelve months alone.
Although this is figuratively but a
drop In the bucket as compared with the
total cost of gasolene for. automobile
use. IL Is by no means negligible AT
TINA when the oil refiners are squeezing
every possible drop of the lighter oils
out of a none too plentiful supply OF
petroleum. On the same basis Of calcu-
la ticn the employment Of cheap.fuels for
motor testing will invoice a direct saw
ing of at least 81, 80. 0oo.
This is one of the many. phases of the
gasolene situation considered at meet
ing held ir New York this week By the
special fuel investigating committee OF
the Society Of Automobile Engineers re-
Gently appointed to cooperate with the

Every Argument is a
Smasher for
Goodrich Tires
Best in the Long Run

Goodrich Tires are an advantage to
any car they are on.
The makers of practically half the
entire 1918 output of automobiles real
lied this when they bought Goodrich
Tires to equip the cars they are making.
You can get Goodrich Tires put on any
car you buy or own if you specify them.
Goodrich service comprehends so
much more than the mere making of
tires that you should familiarize your
self with it.
Goodrich tire users and dealers find
Goodrich service stations always ready
to cooperate with them.
A Goodrich Route Book, mapping
and detailing the tour you plan, will
be sent you free whether you use
Goodrich Tires or not.
The Goodrich folders telling how to
avoid the common tire injuries will be
sent you free, without regard to the
the tires you use.
Goodrich service in its broadest sense
is for the betterment of motoring.
But it is the service that Goodrich
Tires themselves give their users which
emphasizes the fact that Goodrich Tires
are best in the long run.
There never has been a bad year"
with Goodrich Tires. One reason is
that there are forty-three years of rub
Der experience in every one of them.
Your dealer will supply you with the
Goodrich Tire you need.
The Goodrich principle of unit mold
ing was a development of our twenty
seven years of experience in rubber
manufacturing preceding our making
of the first American clincher tire
sixteen years ago.
That principle has never needed
changing. All Goodrich Tires are made ,
by our unit nodded method. Whatever
style of Goodrich Tire is best suited
for your needs it's the same Kind and
quality as all other Goodrich Tires.
Each Goodrich Tire is nodded into a
unit. Body and tread are one. The
thick, tough tread, being Of the tire
and not merely put on it, naturally
does not slip or peel.
The extra sidestrips of pure rubber
reinforce the Goodrich Tire where the
strain comes and eliminate the chance
of rim injuries.
The whole tire wears uniformly.
There are no weak spots or dead places
because of Overwhelming which cooks
the life out of rubber. ...-- ..--
Unit-molding Goodrich single !
vulcanization- that danger away.
Fortify your own judgment with that
of the makers of SO many of the oldest
and best known cars, as well as the en-
thusiastic recommendation of thousands
and thousands of satisfied users, and
specify Goodrich Tires for your own car.
