LINCOLN HIGHWAY
 BEING S|GNPOSTED
Automobile Club of South ern California Doing
 Good Work

Los Angeles, June I9.-(SpeeiaL) The Lincoln highway from Los Angeles to Ely New, is being signposted by the Automobile club of southern Cali fornia. Decision to do this followed re- ports that for seven months in the year the main branch of the Lincoln road over the Sierra Neveda moun- tains is made impossible by snow The route over the warmer slopes by way of the Westgard pass to southern Cal ifornia will give touring parties reach ing Ely in the colder months Of the year an open way without the heavy weather encountered in the north. The route from Ely to Los Angeles is S3 miles shorter than to San Francisco.
 The well known form of sign used by the club throughout the southwest will be departed from in posting the Lincoln highway. The example of the east will be followed and the signs will be of enameled steel, IS inches wide and two feet high.
 Last year the big achievement Of the club was the signing of the old trails route from southern California to Kan sas City. In addition to signing Lin coin highway at the west end the club will continue it's work of completing the posting of feeder roads in its i'm mediate territory. It is expected to have both of these big jobs finished for the heavy rush of auto touring parties expected this summer as re- suit of the elaborate entertainment programme in Los Angeles and the two California expositions.

INTEREST RESULTS FROM ANNOUNCEMENT
 OF NATIONAL MAKER

Great interest in 12-cylinder cars has re- suited from the recent announcement that the national factory at Indianapolis would produce 12-cylinder cars this year. Thousands of inquiries are being received by the National company and in explain ing the advantages of the '12," George M. Dickson, general manager of the Ma tional company said. Steam pushes. Gas oline explodes. Herein has lain the diff ference between the steam engine and the gasoline motor It has long been the ambition of automobile makers to find a way to make gasoline push. They have sought for power that would flow instead of throb; a power that might be controlled with the utmost f1eXibilty; a power that would not rack the machin- cry by which it was created. Steam en- zines last for 20 years but most gasoline motors shake to pieces in five. In the National Highway 12." F cylinders oper- ate on one crank shaft and there is a continuous overlapping of impulses-so that at last a steam effect has been at tained in a gasoline motor"
 No other automobile ride may be used as a basis for the formation of an idea as to the manner of movement of the Naional Highway 12."
 At the first touch of the throttle the car responds powerfully It's getaway is strong and immediate. The driver feels instantly that he has a primal force at his command.
 Twelve-eylnder cars seldom need to be thrown out of high gear The lower ra- tios are used only in extreme cases, such as starting on an incline, or pulling out of deep mire.

RAINS IN WEST HAVE CEASED AND ROADS
 IN GOOD CONDITION
Much Tourist Travel Ex- pected This Season and Road Associations Have
 Been at Work

Washington. June 19.-Automobile tour ists who have planned their transconti- mental tour to start any time between now and July 1 will be eheered by the Information that the rains which have recently been so heavy west of the Mis- sissippi and Missouri rivers have prac- tically ceased-with weather reports in- dicating that dry spell is to continue from HOW on.
 These rains have put the roads in very had condition, but the very many well organized road and route associations all through those sections have started viz orously al work redragging all the roads This saturation by rain will mean that after dragging the roads will be in the best of condition a it is this action promptly taken after rain periods that gives the dragged road that excellent surface so generally commented upon by those who have had the experience of touring over them.
 There have been many estimates as to the number of cars that would make transcontinental trips and only those who have been over optimistic might complain. Reports from various points on the routes leading through the southern section of the extreme west, show that many cars have been through and those who used judgment in their early estimates state tney nave no cause Tor disappointment Tn the number of automobile tourists
 The north and central routes are now coming into their share and will prob ably be the favored ones to carry the burdens of traffic during the next three months. Practically all of these routes have had an immense amount of work done on them during the spring and early summer in full anticipation of travel and no cause for complaint will prob ably be entered against them.

Send Army Officers Along on Trip With Five ArmOred Automobiles, Equipped With Rapid
 Fire Guns

The whole world knows of the prodg ious seryice that is being performed by motor cars in the European war; the of ficials of our own war department and military men everywhere have observed with great interest the part played by the automobile in military maneuvers in the United States during the last few years.
 But never in any country, has num- Der of military motor cars been called upon to travel so many miles continuous ly as will be traversed by the squadron of the Northwestern Military and Naval academy of Lake Geneva. Wis. The tour started from Chicago June 10, with San Francisco as it's destination.
 Some years ago Col. R. P. Davidson, head of the Northwestern academy, be- gan building up the automobile corps of the institution. by the acquisition of a Cadillac car, which was fitted out with a ripad-fire gun The corps now has eight cars, all Cadillacs, five of which are eight cylinder chassis.
 Regular army officers will be with the party to make extended reports of the re- suits during and after the trip. Reports to Washington will cover the observations made and conclusions reached with re- gard to the cars performances under con- ditions approximating military necessity. There will be about 50 men in the party, 1 40 of them cadets at the academy

NEWS AND GOSSIP OF INTEREST TO THE A U1
AMERICAN LABOR BETTER
 THAN THAT OF EUROPE, IS
 THE STATEMENT OF SCOTT

How will we meet the cheap labor of Europe in competition?' was the question asked of automobile manufacturers a few years ago.
 Why. by the well paid, well nourished and therefore more intelligent labor of America" we replied. And we had solved that problem long before the European war began" says Richard H. Scott vice president and general manager of the Rec Motor Car company.
 T suppose, I should add. plus American automatic machine tools.
 still. the statement will stand even without the amendment. For Europe has, now for several years, appreciated the superiority of American automatic ma chinery for the rapid reproduction of in terchangeable parts. That is to say, Flu rope has been buying more of them than we Americans used. But-and there's just the trouble, European makers appreciated our inventions as they performed in our factories and under our labor and other conditions. But she has never been able to get the same efficiency out of those same tools.
 T said Europe bought more of them, but that is only because the European manufacturer needs more to do the same work.
 "The assumption that, just because a tool is automatic in operation, it there- fore will operate without brains to super wise in an error No tool ever made will make two successive pieces exactly alike The difference may be in thousand-tho sandths of an inch but it is there. The art is to know just at what point to
 replace that tool. That calls for intel

BABY MOTOR SHOWS
 UP FINE IN RACES
Maxwell Stands Strain of Long Race Against
 Powerful Cars

American automobile engineers are unquestionably making great progress in the general effort to design cars of great CT efficiency and which will make one gal lon of gasoline do work which has for merly required two.
 It was demonstrated beyond doubt in the fifth international race in Indianapo- lis, when cars smaller than any which had before competed in the famous 5O0- mile classic showed ability both to out rush the big, cumbersome racers of the past era, and to stand up and go through with far greater consistency and tire economy.
 Experts point. IS an example to the case of the baby Maxwell, which though rating at but 2S H. F., tore through the straights at faster than 100 miles per
 hour, and repeatedly, in prolonged bursts, averaged better than 90 miles. The Maxwell driven by Carlson and Hughes averaged 1896 miles per hour | for the entire 500 mlles, a performance
 which would have won any of the Indian | a polls classics prior to the race of last
 year. This figure surpassed both the fa- nous marks of Dawson, the 1915 winner,
 and Goux, who won the event of 1913. Goux and Dawson both drove cars i'm | mensely heavier and with motors of i vituaiiy double tke horsepower rating, according to formula.
 | That these little cars will furnish fur ther startling performances is admitted
 without argument The Indianapolis event was the first in which the little Max
 wells had taken part and no race car
 is supposed to approach closely it's max mum speed or reliability in such cir | cumstances.
 The new Maxwell racers were designed
 by Ray Harroun, chief engineer of the
 Maxwell Motor company, and he has h.
 corporated into both the Maxwell race ano
 touring cars many ideas from his owr
 racing career and by the continual process
 of experimentation which he is making 1T l the speed cars.

ligence, and in order that the changes may be as nfrequent possible, for a change means stopping the machine. we use the highest possible grades of steel and the highest class of skill in lok ng after and keeping those tools in condition for accurate as well as rapid work. We used to hear that once European makers got under way, it would be inn possible for Americans to cope with them. We are told of the fact that women, instead of men, ran the automatic ma chine tools in Italian and French and German factories for example. (And that was the kind of automobiles some of our rich Americans used to think were better than the homemade product! Cost a pretty penny, too for them to learn the difference And some have not been fully convinced yet. Talk of superior mechan- ical quality and female labor do not jibe very welcome cannot be true.)
 Aside from the few American builders who emulated the European methods in making few cars by hand, none of us feared competition with the cheap labor of Europe. We kpew that American shoe machines, sewing machines, photographs and American automatic machine tools dominated their several markets. and we were equally sure of conquest with our automobiles.
 That Reo cars enjoy at this moment a demand several times the possible output of the 25-acre Rec plants, is due l think to that factor which we apply to a greater degree than can makers in the larger cities Ninety per cent of the men who make Reo cars own their homes They are respectable. respected citizens-voters, Americans. That intelligence shows in the product. And if we pay them more for a days work we get the difference in the days work

FIVE ACRES ADDED
 TO GOODYEAR SPACE
Tire Producers Now Occupy Almost Fifty Acres of Floor
 Area

Five acres of additional working floor space are included in plans approved this week by the directors of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company, which will be- gin at once an extension of the Akron fac tory made necessary by the continued growth of the business. This will give the plant a total floor area of nearly 50 acres.
 The new buildings will be ready, with machinery installed, by the beginning of the fiscal year, November l, and will re- ouire for their use POGO additional men. bringing the Goodyear working force to total of 10000.
 Coodyears present capacity in auto tire production is over 12,000 day. The new buildings will enlarge the capacity to well over 15,O00 tires a day. The cost of the plant enlargement will be $400,00O. All the buildings are to be of brick and steel, to harmonize with the present plant, and room will be found in them to extend the manufacture of mechanical goods. To balance Its product, to aid in obtain- Ing volume and economical production, Goodyear two years ago added mechanical goods to it's product. This department has grown rapidly from the beginning and has made larger quarters necessary.
 For sometime the Goodyear plant has been rated as the largest single tire factory in the world. Officials of the company are highly optimistic over the outlook for the future. The company Is buster than a tany time in its history Its automobile tire business shows a splendid increase over 1914, when a world s record in tire sales was made. In cord tires the business is jumping, as attested by substantial manufactures contracts and consumer demand.
 When the Goodyear plant was rebuilt and practically doubled, two years ago it was thought that ample provision had been made for normal growth for some years But the business is already out growing its surroundings hence the new buildings and the plans for the year tc come.

THE AUTOMOBILE IN
 THE PHILIPPINES

The thought of automobiles in the far east instnctively brings to mind the picture we used to see of a small. one- lunged affair of pain and sorrow, sur- rounded by a curious group of gaping natives.
 But the tedious evolution of the other side of the world has been quickened considerably by the development of the motor car industry and the invasion of foreign fields by the wide-awake manu- lecturers of the United States. There are still the 'rickshaws and the plodding bullock carts and the sturdy, stunted ponies, but the background must not be confused with the action of the pie ture.
 The little brown brothers of the Phil ippines were perhaps, the first of the Orientals to adopt in any sense the mod ernized methods of transportation. This can be explained by the American occu- patton which carried with it an influx of American ideas and American modes of
 living. Just recently an automobile race meet at Baguio Philippine Islands, pre- ceded by an endurance run to that town from Manila, was one of the big fea- lures of a gala week in Luzon. over the
 rough roads and soggy trails between the two cities an Overland roadster led the field. completing the long trip in nine hours and twenty-seven minutes with a perfect score.
 In the event of the following day, an Overland won zig-zag hill climb from a large field of American and foreign
 cars, making the grade in four seconds faster time than it's nearest competitor. The same car won the five-mile race with ease
 A unique event was the slow race, in which the drivers vied with each other in | an endeavor to show the big crowd hoy | slow their cars could go without com l ing to a complete stop. This event, over | a quarter of a mile course, was also | won by an Overland car | American automobiles have been able l to gain attention and interest in tho Philippines by ingenious demonstrations
