GERMAN CRUISER
COSTLY TO RUBBER TRADE

"The cruiser Emden, which was re-
Gently sunk after q career In which
she destroyed many merchant ves-
sells, was the cause of some worry
to the rubber trade of the United
States, and there was general relief
at the news Of the Emden's destruc-
tion," says an official of the Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Co. This relief was
direct, and had no relation to any
ones sympathies In the present war.
Der industry In America $1,000,000,
directly or otherwise, and had she
been allowed to continue to roam the
Indian ocean indefinitely, she would
have cost American industry still
more.
Before the engagement with the
Sydney, which ended the Emden's ca
reer, she sank nearly two dozen
merchant ships. One OF these car.
ried 1900 tons Of crude rubber from
the far east. bound for London, and
two others carried 500 tons of crude
rubber each The United States gets
most OF it's crude rubber supply from
London. The effect OF the Emden's
activities on shipping was noticeable.
Insurance rates became almost pro-
hibitive. Crude rubber prices ad-
vanced steadily until they were IL
cents a pound above normal Since
the sinking OF the commerce de-
stroyer, rubber prices have been grad
ually returning, the markets and in
surance have ceased, and the theory
is that conditions will become even
more favorable than they are now"

FORD SAVES MONEY
FOR CITY OF NEW YORK

Some very interesting facts demon
strating the efficiency Of the motor
car-particulariy the Ford car--in the
practical administration Of the fire
department OF the city OF ,ew York,
have recently been brought out by
the report OF Fire Commissioner Rob
ert Adamson made TO the mayor.
In the last four years the Ford Mo-
tor Co. has sold In all 80 Ford cars
TO the New York fire department.
Just how economical and ehicient
these Fords have proven, Is shown by
the report on q single car.
Commissioner Adamson early In the
present administration appointed a
special messenger for the fire depart
ment, and provided him with Ford
car. This Is from the report printed
lin the New York Sun:
"The new fire department motor
messenger is doing the work former.
ly done by 10 men at cost OF 1000
q year. The 10 men who have been
replaced on messenger duty by this
car have been returned to active fire
duty. The motor messenger makes
the rounds Of all the division head
quarters twice q day--in the morning
bringing in the daily reports to head
quarters. and in the afternoon deliv-
ering official orders and communities
tions to the various divisi, n head
quarters"
The performance OF this one Ford
Is typical Of the increase in efficiency
which the feet of Fords has effected
In the entire flre-fghting organization
OF New York city.

MASTER CARBURETER
MAKES GOOD IN TESTS

One Of the main features of the

years OF its existence on the Pacific
coast, has been the saving properties
Of the instrument, and there have
been q great many very severe tests
In every field, including racing, tour
ing. motor truck contests, motor boat
racing, and endurance runs OF every
character. Dealers who have secured
the marketing Of the Master have
put on many tests. and one OF the
most recent tests was made In Sac
ramento, when Z A. Fical equipped
his Ford car with q Master carburetor
and made the trip to Lake Tahoe by
way OF Auburn and Truckee, return.
ing by way OF Placerville. During
this trip the car met with a stretch
of road that was under construction,
and for 20 miles was compelled 10
drive through hewly-ployed ground.
The entire distance over this stretch
OF the highway was made on low
gear, but In spite OF this handicap
the average for the entire trip was
better than ~ miles to the gallon OF
gasoline.
