CUTTING CAR HERE.
Latest Addition to 1913 Models Ar.

The latest car to make it's debut in the
National Capital is the Cutting car, which
is the result of endeavors and study of
several years past. This car is built in
go and 40 roadsters and touring cars.
An unchanging purpose to progress is
expressed in Cutting motor cars for 1913.

Beautifying London.
Springfield Republican.

From the SprlnSneln HepuDilcdn
The hopeful movement in which many
Englshmen of note are taking part for
beautifying London has recalled the fact
that plans are still in existence which, if
adopted, would have made a magnificent
city of what the late Grant Allan once
called "a congeries of squalid villages :"
After the grea. fire 1880 set Of plans
was prepared by the eminent architect
Sir Christopher Wren. 1t provided for
carefully placed thoroughfares ninety
feet wide. the formation of large public
squares, the conspicuous insulation of
important churches, the grouping of pub
lie buildings and the construction of a
fine quay along the Thames from Black
friars to the Tower The adoption OF
this plan was defeated by private inter-
ests. as we can readily understand after
seeing Chicago and San Francisco recon
structed with but little effort for an i'm
proved ground plan. But it's rejection
was an even greater misfortune to Lon
don than the fire itself.

GOOD TIRES ESSENTIAL
Govern Life of Motor Trucks,
Says Local Ex-
pert.

The minute motor trucks wheels
stop turning. it becomes an expense in
stead Of a dividend-paying asset. Every
truck owner recognizes this. This is the
way George Meeley, local tire expert.
sums up the truck situation He is fast
discovering, as WELL that no truck can
be more efficient than the tires with
which it is equipped. These facts explain
the deep study now being devoted to tires
and their building by the more progress
i've truck owners.
Everywhere the demand has been for
mileage. And mileage is a big essential
to the profitable truck operation. But if
this mileage is at the expense of life In
the tire the loss occasioned by truck re-
pair expense will kill the mileage value
and nefeat the primary purpose for which
a rubber tire is intended
When rubber tires were first used on
motor trucks the chief aim was and
still is, to aid the springs in absorbing
the bumps we'll as the constant vibra-
ttOn caused by street and road irregulari-
ties. This vibration, if allowed to reach
the trucks mechanism, must eventually
loosen bolts and nuts, cause expensive re-
pairs and more extensive delays. Rub
Der costs money-big money. Buoyancy
requires a good percentage of high-grade
rubber. The result naturally was that
truck owners found rubber tire equip

mileage with every tire they bought
A truck tire to round out and in

be tough enough to stand the heat and
tear of travel. 1t must, at the same time,
be resilient enough, have sufficient of the

ton of the road from the truck mechan
ism. 1t must, in addition, be designed and
built for the particular class Of service
desired. Such tires will assist truck in
efficiently performing its profitable work.

AMERICAN AUTOS

World ModeIs-GroWth of
Motor Export Trade.

From the very birthplace of motoring
In Europe experts are now coming to
look at American cars, and they are not
only looking. but they are leaving their

tary and general sales manager of the
Michigan Motor Car Company. eve
now have distributing agencies in twen-
ty-one different countries" continues Mr..
Palmer. and that Notwithstanding the
fact that we have never made what could
be called a campaign for export busi-
ness.
American cars are winning out against
European cars strictly on the basis of
merit at lower prices. II the European
manufacturers could produce as good a
car at the same price the European
dealers would sell nothing but the home
product. 1t is simply business. Senti-
ment plays very little part in the COM
merce of the world. Here Is the story
Of American ascendency in figures:
Growth of Export Trade.
Exports Of American automobiles dur
ing the first ten months of 1912 amounted
to nearly $20,OOO,OOO, according to gov
cklIueuI uSuTcS. AS compared WIN the
corresponding period of 1911, this repre-
sents an increase of something over Sc
per cent.
''The number Of automobiles involved
is in excess of 10000. which is about the
number exported during the entire year
of 1911 Estimated by automobile manu-
facturers indicate a total of about -, 800
automobiles exported for the whole year.
1t is authoritatively predicted in the au-
tomobile trade that the total exports in
1913 will be above 81, 1000 cars.
Medium priced cars figure enormously
in the. bulk of this export business. This
is due to the fact that the automobile
industry in Europe is not at all condi-
toned to compete with America in this
field. Their output is far too limited to
fill the demand, and consequently their
manufacturing costs are much higher
1T is estimated that in 1913 the United
States will produce more than SOC, 600 aL-
tomobiles. This is three times the esti-
mated product Of all the countries of
Europe. In our country there are sew
enty-two manufacturers In the forty
horsepower field alone. American auto
mobile manufacturers are apparently
just beginning to realize the enormous
possibilities of business with Our neigh

FINDS NEWSPAPER
ADVERTISING BEST
Tire Company's Manager Says
It Is Most Ef-
fective.

The quickest and most effective way to
reach automobile owners is through the
columns of the daily newspapers is the
opinion of Advertising Manager c. s.
Thompson of the Diamond Tire and Rub
ber Company.
That's, why most of our appropriation
this year will go into the newspapers.
I'VE find we not only reach present
automobile owners (who. naturally. buy
the large percentage of the present OUT
put of tires), but we also educate pros
pective buyers to insist that their car be
equipped with Diamond vitalized rubber
tires.
1--WE also find newspaper advertising Is
read more thoroughly by our own sales
men. our $4,000 dealers. manufacturers
Of automobiles and their purchasing
agents.. So. as an educational force Tor
Diamond vitalized tires we do not see
how the newspapers could be improved
upon.
when the Diamond chemists discover
ed vitaliZed rubber, Mr.. Thompson Sald
he felt that the quickest way to an
nounce this important discovery to tire
users everywhere was through the me-
dunn of newspapers, and consequently ne
ran large announcements in all prominent
Factories Not Harmed.
To further support his argument Mr..
Thompson called attention to the fact
that his company depended upon the
newspapers to tell the public that the
Diamond factories had not been affected
by the recent floods and were running
full time.
Continuing, Mr.. Thompson said: "And
when we decided to reduce the prices of
Diamond tires to users April l we again
turned to the newspapers. This price re-
duction was so important that we sent
the advertisement by telegraph to the
best papers in over sixty OF the leading
cities. In doing so, we probably incurred
the largest bill for telegraphing an ad-
vertisement in the history Of advertising.
The copy for these reduced price adVer-
tisements was wired all over the coun-
try Saturday morning and the advertise
ments appeared In all OF the newspapers
the next day, Sunday"
In speaking of trade conditions. Mr..
Thompson asserted: I'VE are now passing
through the most successful season we
have ever had during our sixteen years
of experience in building tires. Never be-
fore have we been able to produce such
large volume of tires In so short
space of time, and as a consequence our
sales department Is breaking all previous
records.
The enormous sale we are now having
on Diamond vitaliZed rubber tires makes
it necessary for the factories to increase
their facilities as rapidly as possible"

Kissel Kar Branch in West.

The big news of the Pacific coast au-
tomobile trade for many months came
yesterday in the announcement from Los
Angeles of the amalgamation Of the Kis-
sci Auto Company of that city and the
Standard Motor Company of San Fran
cisco under the name of the Pacific Kis-
Sci Kar branch. An idea Of the extent
of the operations intended by this new
company may be gathered from the fact
that the new corporation is capitalized
at $780, 1000. This Is said to be the largest
automobile company ever organized on
the Pacific coast.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
Simplicity In Dress
By BLANCHE BEACON

Again I am back to my old slogan
'sbe naturali''
This time it is because I happened
to see a pretty young girl dressed in
the height of fashion My objections
are not because she was dressed in the
height Of fashion, for goodness knows
from my viewpoint the styles were
never prettier than they are right now
Only, little Miss Modernity crowded
too many irresistible details into one
dress.
She had the Medici ruff, the Alaska
frou-frou, the COLONEL vest, the peg
top skirt, the furred edges, and q doz-
err other touches. any one of which
would have sumced to make the gown
stunning and distinctive.
But instead, she crowded all these
new wrinkles on this one frock-and
spoiled it.
times. Mi1ady Graves a superhufty in
all things. She destroys the lines of
her figure, the lines of her face and
the lines of her gown by crowdtng
trimmings, effects etc, upon them.
That is why insist upon natural
ness. If you are natural you will
think twice before you resort to arti-
hciality either in personalities or
clothes. Do not abuse the styles. They
are charming and original. Employ
them thoughtfu1ly-
Notice the simple lines Of the dress
in my illustration. See how pretti1y it
sets off the figure, and gives it added
grace and dignity. Rip a few ruffles
from your new frocAs-and see how
much prettier they will be.
