APPERS0N CARS
in LONG TOUR
Travel From indianapolis to Los
Angeles in Thirty-FOur
Days

After a gruelling drive Of about A.
100 miles the two Apperson Jack
Rabbit" touring cars arrived in Los
Angeles August g. These two cars
left Indianapolis July /, and took
part In the now famous lndiana-Pa-
cifc tour
The two Apperson entries made a
great showing In this hard drive
across the continent, being pacemak-
ers three days during the thirty-four
DAYS OF the tour. The cars checked
In on time at every noon and night
control, although they were delayed
several times assisting other cars
along the route. No mechanical ad'
1ustments were made on the cars dur
ing the long grind and they finished
with Kokomo, Ind, air In most OF the
tires on each car.
The route of the tour across the
states of Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and
California was OF a varied character
that would test the stability and me-
chanical construction OF any motor
car and the cars that came through
the trip without trouble should stand
any test that man can devise.
The Appersons were hailed with
great enthusiasm on every hand dur
ing the entire tour because OF the fact
that they were twentieth anniversary
models OF the first successful gasoline
automobile built in America. This or
iginal car now reposes In the Smith
sonian Institute In Washington. ID. G..
The present day cars bear little re-
semblance 10 the little single cylinder
that astonished the United States two
decades ago. This car was built In

person, who personally superintendent
the construction of the car, made the
drawings. patterns and purchased the
materials.

FIRESTONE MAN TELLS
HOW TO APPLY TIRE
BY /. GREENWALD.

Manager Service Department, Fire
stonl Tire a. Rubber Co.
Before applying tires remove rust
and all other foreign matter. If the
tire has been ridden debated at any
time, mud may have accumulated on
the rim and unless this is removed
the tire cannot adjust itself properly.
Soapstone busted on the rim will act
as lubricant and make 1t much cas-
Ter for the tire beads TO slip into their
correct position, thereby reducing the
danger of pinching the inner tube to
minimum.
Before placing the inner tube inside
OF case initiate just enough to round It
out. do not use tube OF the wrong
size and be sure that the spreader Of
the valve is adapted for the particular
type OF case, whether regular clinch-
er, quick detachable clincher or O. ID.
cable basel Dust tube and inside OF
case with tale, which will reduce the
friction and prevent adhesion OF the
tube to case after heated In service.
If too much tale is used, however, and
any water should work it's way on
the inside OF the tire, there is danger
of grit and attending injury to the
tube. Powdered graphite is not quite
so nice TO handle as tale but is a much
more durable lubricant.

KELLY TRUCK
WINS TEST
Strenuous Trial is Conducted
by the Detroit Board of Edu-
cation on Sandy Road

Kelly motor trucks won a decisive
victory in the strenuous tests recent
ly conducted by the Detroit board OIL
education. The winning truck Is
manufactured by The Kelly-Spring-
field Motor Truck Co.. of Springfield
Ohio. The tests were held IN con
nection with the selection OF one
ton truck for general hauling for the
Board OF Education.
The Kelly and four other Well
known makes OF motor trucks were
entered. The tests were held over a
pa mile stretch OF sandy road The
road was fairly level with the ex-
ception OF about 100 yards which was
up per cent grade. The sand was
about six inches deep on the level,
but nearly foot deep on the grade.
All of the trucks did fairly we'll on
the level stretches. Only one OF the
other four were able TO successfully
negotiate the grade and then only al
ter the hardest kind OF battle and
several stops.
The Kelly, however, covered the en-
tire course without any trouble Ii
was the only truck which went
through the entire run without stop.

SOFT TIRES
CAUSE WEAR
Manager Greenwald, of Fire.
stone Co., Gives Pointers On
How To Care For Them

l.. Greenwald, manager Of the SER
vice department OF the Firestone Tire
& Rubber Co., says
When the tires are ridden soft
there is too much action In the side
wall, or hinge, which must eventually
result in the same injury TO the IA
brio that occurs to wire when bent
numerous times at given point.
This excessive heating softens the
rubber cement, or friction on the
fabric carcass. In sense devulcan-
ization takes place. This combined
with an irregular tension of one layer
Of fabric In relation to another, de-
velops separation, chatting and ul-
timately a blowout. 1t might be we'll
to mention that most of the advant-
age OF large tire is lost unless 1t Is
kept inflated properly, as otherwise
1t is only equivalent to the compare
tive air volume of smaller size.
From experiments conducted by
us, We have proved that 1t Is not nee.
essary TO ride Firestone tires soft In
order to secure the desired resiliency
and comfort. Having worked out lust
the right tension OF the fabric during
construction OF the carcass, the quail
ity of the rubber friction on the ia
brio, the liveliness of the tread rub
Der and the method OF curing (vul-
canization) this produces a superior
combination"

manager OF the b. F. Goodrich Co.
L have never seen anything equal
the demand this season. When the
season opened we were ready for a
big increase in business and thought
We had estimated the demand about
right. Early in the present season
our factory had their daily capacity
far above the largest daily capacity
last year But even this enormous
production was not sufficient TO sup.
ply the demand.
When the motoring season opened
II seemed that every motorist In the
country wanted Goodrich tires. Then
We began enlarging our equipment
and facilities for increasing our pro-
duction, but the demand kept increas-
ing too. We have now increased our
maximum daily tire capacity more
than 40 per cent and have reached a
place where we are again able TO sup
ply the demand. We are still increas-
ing our capacity, hoping in this way
to be able TO keep our production up
to the point where every user can ne
supplied readily.
This recent experience has proved
the unfailing faith motorists have in
Goodrich fires continued Mr. More
head. Il personally know OF Incl
dents where dealers have kept on file
