WHEELING HIGHWAY /
IS BEING IMPROVED
Old National Road Is Again in
Condition to Care for Heavy
Automobile Traffic.

For the past two years. parts Of the
old national road. the great natural
tkoroughfare from washington and Bal
timore to Wheeling and the West. have
been In such bad condition through
western Maryland that Its use as
through automobile route has been
greatly impaired.
The originally good surface has been
worn off for many miles, exposing the
large stones of which Its foundation
was principally made. In some cases
large boulders were washed down by
the mountain streams. and several
stretches were injured by the hauling
of heavy pine timber. from the district
north Of Hancock and Flintstoae.
AS a result q great deal OF the
through automobile travel east and west
has been sgoing by Bedford. Ligonier.
Greepsbure. and Pittsburgh. farther
and more hillv than over the old na-
tional road direct to Wheeling and De-
yend. Lately. however, the state High
way Commission. encouraged and aided
by the Automobile Club Of America. has
taken an active interest In restoring
this road to its old-time Importance
Conditions are largely being material.
Iy improved. especially by the removal
OF the large boulders that have been the
principal drawback to the use OF TINS
road by motorists

Akron Tire Makers Will
Catch Up on Orders

when the rubber workers strike
was formally declared off by the i'm
ported strike leaders, the last bar TO
pTeveN Akron industrial institutions
from returning to normal was remOv-
ed" says e. w. Seiberling, vice presl-
dent of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company.
Akron has passed through a time ,:
considerable stress and indications are
that there will be no further labor
disturbances for a good many years 20
come Now that normal conditions
have returned, We feel that We shall
have little il any. difficulty In meeting
all our orders promptly, and In making
the big increase in our business for the
year that we predicted some months

'[OWERG GRADE FUEL
NEEDED FOR CARS
Makers Association Will Probe
Question of Obtaining a SUBJ
stitute for GasoIene.

After quietly studying the gasolene
situation for the past three months.
the National Association of Automobile
Manufacturers has found sufficient
grounds to warrant a thorough inves-
tigation of automobile fuels, including
the immediate applicability Of kerosene
and other low-grade petroleum products
and the possibilities of developing SUBJ
sctitutes for gasolene itself.
Special arrangements have been made
with the Society of Automobile Eli
gineers, whereby the latter organiza-
ton will undertake the more technicaf
features of the investigation. including
possibly a not inconsiderable amount
of research work.
Fuel Problem Important. ,
The movement is significant in that
it is the first definite response of the
automobile industry to the repeated
and insistent complaints of motorists
throughout the country during the past
ten months That 1t will bring ulti-
mate relief is practically assured from
the fact that the fuel problem is rec
ognized by the manufacturers them
selves as a question involving in some
measure the future welfare Of the au-
tomobile industry.
81 consider this an important public
work." said President Metzger. of the
national association, in speaking of the
investigation. 1T Is for the benefit
of the public quite as much as the au-
tomobile industry itself. They tell Us
that we are now getting S. gravity
gasolene, where a few years ago We
were getting 81 and IS: and that Il
will continue TO go down until within
the next five years We will be getting
as low as 80. Now that Is something
for which we must be prepared. 1t II
not sufficient TO develop our present
product in such a way as to take care OF
these low-grade fuels, but We must
look after the user. There are many
thousand automobiles running TO-DAY
that will still be in use next year, ana
the year after, and we must see TO II
that they are provided with some sort
of fuel to which they are adapted.
Ready to Cooperate.
THE oil people, with whom We have
already been in conference, have ex-
planned their position very carefully to
us and have expressed their willingness
to cooperate with US in carrying out
this work. The national association It.
self, is fully competent to undertake
the Investigation. since the. subject Is
one of SO broad a nature And one so
vital to the interests of all Its mem
bers, and what is more. it is prepared
In stand behind any conclusion that
may be finally approved. In addition to
lending its assistance to the work.
And most important Of ALL, Mr..
Metzger concluded, '9s the question ii
locating the fuel supply OF the future
II will not be long before we shall have
to reckon on supplying million auto
mobiles with fuel in the United States
alone. So that 1t will not be enough
merely to adopt kerosene carbureters
unless we can be sure that the supply
OF kerosene will increase as fast as the
demand for its increases. That Is the
great question for which we must flnc
an answer"

FEW ARE CAUTIOUS
IN BUYING MOTORS
Rules Cited to Keep Statesmen
From Making Impression
With "Line of Talk" i

The average man, when building a
house employs an architect. when pur-

But when buying his first automobile

scription of the car he is paid to sell.
takes a ride over chosen route. looks
at the paint and the nickel-plating and
pays out his money.
Some rules that might well be OBJ
served in buying an automobile are
advanced by a pioneer motor car deal
er of this city. They are as follows:
Men who have owned several cars
get value for their money. but the
novice frequently gets stung! Is there
any wonder?
Even business men buying trucks
often pursue a course but little diff
ferent-and then expect dividends from
the investment
AN automobile is primarily a ma
chine; constructed of various kinds and
qualities of misunderstanding various
advantages and faults in it9 makeup,
and varying degrees of care and skill
in its manufacture.
Hardly any article of common use
is SO complicated ard mysterious to the
man without technical knowledge and
vet thousands Of ,eople every year buy
experience at very much higher price
than they need to pay.
The remedy is to hire some one who
Is familiar with automobiles to compare
the cars you favor on a scientific basis.
"If you can get an owner of the car
you like, who is disinterested and trust
worthy: to give you his experience 1t
will help.
But each item of the cars makeup
should be carefully compared with other
cars.
Make a table of the main points.

Effective
Goodrich Safety
Tread Tires
Best In the Short Stop.
Goodrich Safety Treads not only
give you safety and sureness aAthe
time, driving, turning or stopping
They naturally give you longer wear
-grrafer tire valse.
The rows of FIVE thick, tough rubber
fingers repeated around the usual
thick, tough Goodrich rubber tread
adddurability andwear to the safety.
They are not separate parts-they
are made right in the tread, an
extra thickness of splendid rubber,
compounded in the Goodrich way,
which has forty three years of
rubber experience in it.
This extra thick, tough tread is
obviously certain to give you more
mileage.
Goodrich Safety Tread tires are not
emergency propositions. They are
made for all day and all night work,
if you SO wish to use them.
In addition to the safety and Sc
curity they give you it is worth
your while to consider the extra
value and service you secure in
them.
The FIVE thick, tough rubber fingers
of the Goodrich Safety Tread, all
the time your car is running, are
digging right down through the
mud, slush, ooze or other slipperi-
ness, and making a constantly clean
safe path.
The human hand-grip they get on
the road or street is a powerful de-
fense against any chance of skid.
Goodrich Safety Tread Tires are
made just as all Goodrich Tires are
made-unit nodded construction.
The strips of fabric, pure rubber,
and thick, tough tread are literally
nodded into a unit in our single
vulcanization.
This is one reason why Goodrich
treads do not strip or peel.
Your tire dealer will show you the
Goodrich Safety Tread !; he will not
need to explain it, for its principle
and sureness are self evident.
