Road Wear Less With
Six-Cylinder Cars
Sliding Of Wheels on the Road Sur
face That Causes
Destruction.

II is fact not generally known, &C
oording to J w Goldsmith, Jr, dis
tributor Of the Hudson motor cars, that
roads will last longer and hold their
surface better when nix cylinder cars
are used.
1t isn't weight OF car or suction due
to tire pressure or speed alone that
wears roads. 1t is the very definite, but
sometimes imperceptible. slipping and
sliding of the wheels on the road sur
face, Were it possible to get rid en-
tirely of the slipping and friction of
wheels on the roads there would be
compare lively little wear due 10 this
cause.
Now the six -cylinder motor car, &C
cording to engineers. has less slippage
OF wheels on the road than has any
other. The application of the power of
the motor to the rear wheels, and
through them TO the surface of the tire
resting upon the road, is so stetdy
and free from jerks and jars that there
is practically no slipping or rubbing
against the road. This is proved by the
much longer time that tires wear on
Hudson Six
In a recent test in Pennsylvania
Hudson Six covered 5000 miles and the
tires were still in good condition. A
prominent four cylinder car, over the
same route at the same time, used UP
ten castings. The fact that the Hudson
car is easy on tires shows conclusively
that 1t is correspondingly easy on the
road surface.

SAFETY THREADS
IS SOLUTION Of
AUTO SKIDDINC
{. C. Tibbitts, Goodrich Adverts-
ing Manager, Tells How to
Make Brakes Effective.

AKRON. OHIO. Jan. 24.--"It is a
big error on the part Of motorists to
magnify the Importance Of brakes on
the.r automobiles" said +. G. Tibbitts,
advertising manager for the r. F.
Goodrich Company manufacturers Of
Goodrich tires and rubber goods OF
great variety. in recent talk here.
The brakes, It is true. VIII stop the
wheels. but something has got to stop
the car. and this the plain tread tire
can not accomplish In wet, slushy or
ICY weather. which lubricates the
streets and roads
The Goodrich Company, after ex-
haustive tests. evolved an effective
method Of literally putting brakes
into their tires. a hve-fnger and
cross bar tread was found most ef-
fective, for, coming in contact with
the slippery oo2e. the weight Of the
car presses the fingers through the
mass, and their rounded shape per-
mits the mud or slush to rise up on
all sides without resistance (as is
hardly the case with square sided
anti-sfid treads). giving firm grip
for the tire upon the clean roadbed
beneath. When the brakes are ap-
piled, or what you might term con-
trifugal motion is generated as in
rounding a curve swiftly or turning
in the road. this principle either de
livers the brake power direct to the
road surface or acts as an automatic
brake itself to prevent side swiping.
We named our tread the safety
tread and are now intent upon cdu-
eating motorists 10 an appreciation OF
the value OF safety first much the
same as the big railroads are urging
their employees and the travelling
public TO take heed Of their great
campaign for the preservation of life,
limb and property.
Not only do these safety treads
act as brakes forward and backward,
but so scientific is their construction
that they also prevent slIiddinE in
any direction, thus assuring absolute
safety under all slippery conditions,
whether in the quick stop, the sudden
swerve or curve. or upon tho steep
incline.
IF the railroads could but adopt
devices as automatically efficient in
carrying out the safety first idea as
safety treads are in preventing auto
mobile accidents their work would be
much simplified.
1t is the purpose OF the Goodrich
Company 10 continue TO urge the
adoption OF safety first. by the use
of safety treads, until mishaps from
the disregard of this important prin-
clple are reduced to a minimum"

New York. December 23-(Special. )-Nee- essarily only a brief report of the ad- dress recently delivered by John Hays Hammond to the members of the Ameri- can Manufacturers Export association livery. Yet it is regarded by the associa- tion as being worthy of publication in full and in pamphlet form so that Amer ican industries of all kinds, and espe- cially those industries which now have or may soon have opportunity for exporting their commodities in large amounts, may get good idea of what the real situa- tion and opportunity are.
 Mir. Hammond, about year before the European war began, delivered an address to an American industrial association which made a profound impression upon the members of that organization. He then showed what must be done if the United States is to increase her foreign trade. At that time there was no thought of pending war in Europe. and the com petition which MT.

This opportunity opens a greater one. in MT Hammond's view, provided the United States takes advantage of it, and the Manufacturers Export association. whose member she addressed. is now diligently occupied in learning and then explaining what these opportunities are and how they may be secured.
