MAKES III MILE RUN
ON A GALLON OF GAS

A real gssolene mileage test was ad-
ministered Mitchell Eight" recently

Smith and reporter were disinterested
spectators.

The only preparation made for the
trip was to fasten gallon tank above
the gasolene feed pipe detached from
the vacuum feed system to insure the
accuracy of the test. Smith had driven
the car only twice prior to ta.Tng the
wheel for the test run. He never had
the motor out Of high gear. and drove
most of the distance at from eighteen
to twenty-five miles per hour. The
test came up to the specifications laid
out in every particular.
Amy buyer Of Mitchell Eight can

said. I'D great deal rather have an

Discussing the phenomenal rise and

Bayles, drector-in-chief and general
manager, stated modestly that he per-
sonally was only in a small measure
responsible for this success. In the main
he attributes 1t to the consistent. loyal
cooperation Of the employees as a whole.
Nothing Too Much.
Nothing Is ever too much to ask Of
the men-no task too arduous, too long
in performance no work too difficult
for them. They are specialists in every
sense Of the word. but combined with
their abilities they have a loyalty which
Is priceless.
when the Ford Company opened its
local branch offers were made to many

in which these offers received even an

"As far as our service Is concerned, ex-

UNDER PRESSURE OF
TIRES IS DANGEROUS
Factory Expert Shows FaIIacy
Of Belief That Expansion
Causes BI0W0utS.

"One often hears the argument that
hea causes expansion OF the air In n tire
sufficient to produce a blow. out says
P. w. Litchfield, factory manager OF
the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany. Many motorists thus excuse
their habit Of running tires under-tn-
flnted. Even experienced garage men
advise that tires be run at fifteen to
twenty pounds lower pressure In hot
weather. We have to admit. Of course.
that heat does expand air and raises
the pressure in a tire, but In it's prac-
tical effect the rise In temperature is in
sufficient to cause even the slightest
danger.
ITO satisfy ourselves on this point We
recently made an unusually severe test
using a runabout equipped with 33x4
tires. We selected q day. which ac-
cording to the local records was the
hottest June day ever recorded. The
tires were pumped up to eighty pounds
with the car standing in the cool Of the
garage. 1t was driven intermittently
for about an hour. and when not run
ming was allowed to stand In the sun.
Then 1t was taken for spin at forty
miles an hour over brick and tarred
tho pressure we found 1t had increased
just four pounds.
LAS far as the welfare Of the tire Is
concerned difference Of four pounds
Is really no difference at all. Tires are
now built with such high factor Of
safety that an increase in pressure Of
maLy times four pounds would not
cause q blowout unless already ruined
by overlooking and under-iraation. We
have often inflated UP to 200 pounds
without any damage to the tire.
The most serious variation in tire
pressure is caused by leakage. Rubber
Is to small degree porous and will al
low air under pressure to leak through
1t. A certain amount OF leakage through
both tube and valve Is normal and to
be expected. Pressure may maintain
itself for a considerable time, but 1t is
never safe to count on it. One cannot
put 1t too strong that under-infiation,
not over-intiation, is the condition to
guard against"

AMERICA PROTECTED
BY MOTOR INDUSTRY

The European conflict clearly points
out that 1t Is a question of munitions
more than men in modern armies. says
Stewart Mcdonald. OF the Moon Motor
Car Company Of st. Louis.
Mr.. Mcdonald Says:
The greatest revelation In the mill
tary developments in Europe has been
the manner in which Germany has been
able to attack and hold off her foes.
1t is openly conceded that this Is due
entirely to her tremendous internal
manufacturing development.
Russian hordes are without value
because they are not provided with
sufficient shells and guns, and the Eng
lish openly deplore the lack of high
explosive shells.
Could Turn Out Munitions.
ITO those who are not versed in
mechanics it will be interesting to
learn that the average automobile
manufacturer has almost the identical
machinery that would be used to equip
first class arsenal or manufactory Of
guns. Similarly 1t Is only the auto
mobile industry where the large num-
ber OF highly skilled workmen accus-
toned to doing their machining to an
accuracy Of Tooth Of an inch are found.
Therefore, when the war broke out
the automobile factories Of Germany,
France and England were Immediately
turned into plants for munitions Of war.
and Germany. of course, came of best
by reason Of her resources.
Stronger Than Europe.
For this reason" according to Mr..
Mcdonald. the United States has
nothing to fear from the European con-
fiict. OF course. at the outset we would
be handicapped. but In three months
the big automobile factories could make
machine guns and held guns at tho
rate Of several hundred per day, and
just imagine the number Of hundreds
and thousands of shrapnel shells, for
instance. that the Ford plant could
produce in lieu of It's daily quota Of
900 automobiles"
'In my estimati ton the United States
Is more formidable as a warning ma
tion under the new aspect of affairs
than all Europe, and l feel perfectly
safe In saying that exactly as the ca
pacity OF our automobile plants Is al
most seven times greater than tho COM
bined capacity of all continental mas.

by Two Minutes.

The Cadillac Eight has shattered an

train into the Cheyenne station after his
record run he found that the Cadillac
Eight had preceded him by two minutes.

MlSSIM6 SEVEN YEARS

Victor. March 2s.-The mysterious
eisappearance OF Nate Cohen. unmar-
ried. OF this city. which occurred
nearly seven years ago. has been
cleared mp by a dispatch from New
York city. OF March 10. stating that a
man by that name had been detained
In New York by the authorities by
reason Of his being in n demented con-
cition.
Cohen had been sailing since last
May on steamers plying between New
York and Rio Janeiro. Brazil. He was
rot permitted to land on either port
because he was OF unsound mind. and
thus he was forced TO make a number
OF trips from New York TO Brazil. COW
ering In the journeys total distance
OF 1870 miles.
During his residence here Cohen at
times acted strangely. but II was not
thought to be anything worse than
mere eccentrtcIty. His father lives

wired the New York Elks that Cohen
