PATHFINDER RULES FORMOTOR|STSARE
 AT LEAST UNIQUE
Gasoline Rockies May Learn to Run Their "Flivvers" With Ease if They
 Are Followed

few simple rules have been adopt cd by the Pathfinder company of In- dianapolis for teaching gasoline rock ies the Fundamentals of motor car operation.
 While offering nothing new, par ticularly, these rules are handy and it is we'll for the average motorist to bear them in mind. because every month or so another member of the family is suddenly afflicted with the gasoline baccilus. Then there is noth- ing to do but to let the infection run it's course until such time as it be- comes automatically chronic and for the most part harmless. These rules follow:
 Rules l. Inasmuch as the greatest danger in motoring comes during the first or second attempts at the wheel, it is well to skip the first few efforts, employing seasoned chauffeur until the novice feels perfectly at home and at ease in the new responsibility of driver.
 Rule 2. Do not tease the Ford. The Ford, when let alone, is one of the most domestic and harmless of ami mals, but when infuriated becomes extremely dangerous. It's temper is tempestous when annoyed, and the best way is to let it have it's own way on the road, unless, of course, you hap pen to be driving a Pathfinder the Great" in which case, you can pass right over it without annoyance. The road clearance of the Pathfinder be- ing ample for this purpose.
 Rule 5. Make sure before starting out on a long. run that your gasoline tank is nearly empty. Tramping to the nearest town for fuel is quite as good exercise for the mind and body as golf. Besides the Standard Oil com pany needs the money.
 Rule 4. The cop at the corner may not know his business, but that doesn t alter his status or yours. He is the main squeeze" and what he says goes, or stops, es the semaphore in his charge may indicate. Obey him i'm rlicity, and thus avoid being late to dinner.
 Rule ,. Just because your mount sounds fast, don't let it get you into any brushes with the little old dented kind. Sometimes the more ornery a car looks the faster the blamed thing can put the speedometer on the blink. If you want a real cinch, pick out a flossy looking one with a locomotive look to 1t. That kind usually have gentle men at the wheels, and geltemen re- frain from racing on public highways and thoroughfares.
 Rule 6. Children, during their sec- ond summer, should not be allowed to drive high powered cars. The natural strain which teething imposes on the system is not compatible with public safety and that of the passengers themselves.
 Rule '. Take up the whole road. You pay taxes. .s gaAJ9 Rule 8. When returning home late at night, open your cutout and race the motor. It is also well to blow your horn very shrilly in the residential district. Too much sleep is detrimental. Rule g. Be extremely careful whom you are with when you have a wreck. Rule 10. Let your wife drive if she wants to. "There as just as good fish in the sea as was ever caught"

THE CADILLAC EIGHT
 PROVES B|G SELLER
1S,0OO Cars Built by Fac tory in Little Over a
 Years Time

Including the cars built and shipped from the factory at Detroit on October 23, the Cadillas production of it's V-type eight-cylinder model reached the total of 1S 159 cars.
 Beginning with the shipments of the first eight-cylinder cars, which was October 10, 1914, the production for the even year ending October g, 1915, was 17,225 cars.
 While the figures, of themselves, are interesting, they do not reveal the actual significance of what the Cadillac company has done to make them possible. When the companys engineers had developed the eight-cylinder engine to the point where the company could feel sure of it's ground, the most gigantic part of it's task was still to be accomplished
 Several millions of dollars worth of equipment was inadequate for the pro- duction of the new car. New machinery new tools and new fixtures were necessary for almost every part of the new car. Much of the existing equipment was util- iZed through redesigning and rebuilding. But even so, new equipment at cost of more than half a million dollars was installed. Thus it was imperative to de- sign, manufacture, install and systema- tize hundreds of new machines, in order to reach a volume of production on a type of car entirely new, not only to the Cadillac, but to the industry in America
 In view of these facts, the building of more than 1S,00O cars of the new type, in little more than a year, is a manufact- Iring achievement seldom equaled.
 Figures show that the Cadillac produc- ton up to the date named is several times the number of all the other cars with V-type engines built in this country since the Cadillac Eight was first announced. It

VA[VO[|NE CUP WON
 BY MITCHELL SIX
Gar Demonstrates Its Ability as a Hill Climber in Test
 Over Mountain Roads

A Mitchell car has again demonstrated It's ability to go there and back. 'The Six Of '16' won the 5000 valvoline trophy for the fastest time between Sacramento and Tallac. This is the fourth time since 1910 that the Mitchell has scored a win In this long, hard trip over the Sierra. J. c. Skinner was at the wheel of the record-breaking machine. Skinner, driv- ing one of the Mitchell 'S,x of '16, cars, made the run from the Capital City to the lake resort in three hours and 25 minutes, cutting some seven minutes from the best previous record made on this mountain run One puncture and sev- eral minutes delay caused by running into herd of cattle. which blocked the roadway, prevented the victorious Mitch- ell from further reducing the record.
 The run was made under the direction of the Valvoline Oil company's represen- tative in Sacramento, who appointed their own starters and also had their own of- ficials at Tallac to check the car in.
 Competition for the Valvolne cup has been keen in this section of the state, and many makes and models of cars have climbed the Sierra in an effort to annex the trophy Three times has the Mitchell lost the trophy and three times has it re- gained it. The test to win the cup takes the car over a 110-mile course, 90 of which are in the Sierra Nevada mountains. over some rough and steep roads. To reach the summit, 7400 feet above the sea level, a car must climb a 30-nile continuous grade, in which much intermediate work is necessary.
 Notwithstanding the hard grind to which the car was subjected, not one bit of mechanical trouble was experienced.

work the record made by Ford. His showing with the Saxon company speaks for itself, and I am proud to have a graduate of the Chalmers organization score such a success.
 T have long had more than business interest in MT. Ford. My association with him has meant much to me and I have the warmest personal feeling for him. The success which I see for him and his associates in the Saxon company is, there fore, most gratifying to me- Under his leadership I believe the Saxon company is destined to reach and maintain lead ing position in the automobile industry"
 The various officials of the Chalmers company, who with MT. Chalmers, organ ized the Saxon company were unanimous in selecting MT. Ford as president of the new company at the time of it's organiza- tion, and have Loyalty supported him in his work throughout
 At first the company specialized on the Saxon roadster, a two-passenger car sell ing at S395, then the lowest priced auto- mobile made. Since that time, the manu- facture of the roadster has been con- tinued. but the line has been widened by the addition of the $7S5 Saxon six cylinder touring car. This latter car was brought out at the. New York show last January and created as big sensation as the Saxon roadster did the previous year It was the first fu1l-sixed touring car with six-cylinder motor sold under s1000.

DO NOT OVERLOAD SAYS MANAGER 0F GOODYEAR BRANCH Cause of Nearly All Truck Tire Troubles Can Be Traced to Practice of
 Overlooking

Truck tires are getting better all the time" says E. S. Taylor. local manager of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber com pany. "The motor truck is only now really beginning to take the field that is to be it's own for the future. If one could now predict the actual tonnage that trucks will sometimes carry in these Uni ted States-replacing other methous of trar sportation now generally used the prophet would probably be laughed at. And all that tonnage must be supported on rubber tires-rubber, which thousands of inventors have sought unsuccessfully to replace-and which is coming to be more and more indispensable in the things that modern life develops
 Tire manufacturers realize how impor- tant the truck tire field has already be- come-and how nightly it will grow, year by year. And we realize, too, that if trucks are to be used successfully and economically, truck tires must do their work efficiently-at low cost per mile. Some tires-our records show-give 15,ooO miles-ot.ers half that, or less We find the difference lies largely in the way the tires are treated.
 Take overlooking, for instance a pro- life source of trouble. It is generally known that overlooking shortens the life of'a truck. However, the biggest expense due to overlooking is in tire bills. Over ici ding weakens tires so that they be- come more susceptible to common in- juries. For instance, any truck tire is bound to sustain small cuts on the tread. These stretch and tear as the load on the tire is increased The enlargement will be very slight if the tire is properly load edl but if overloaded, little cuts become big gashes and finally the tire is ruined iS to ha cost of operating greatly. Our advice. based on experience is--if it is absolutely necessary to overload your true
 it with oversize tires when the old ones
 wear out. They win

National Adding to Plant

More than 500 men are working overtime in order to rush the com pletion of the new factory building of the National Motor Vehicle company. The increased facilities are needed to handle orders that have been received by the National company. Officials at the National plant hope to be in part of their new buildings in 30 days and expect to have all of the increased space within 60 days. The National company is spending about $10O.000 to enlarge it's plant and the new build ings are two stories high and 67S feet in length. This means that the length of the additions is approximately two city blocks.

London, October 25.-There are 32,400 Germans and Austrians in the alien in- ternment camps in England at the pres- ent time, notes 8 circular from tho home secretary. Nearly 5000 aliens have been repatriated. The number of ex- emptions from internment Is 72o0. The number of women exempted from the repatriation rules is about 16.000.

Total for ell entrances s...........42s 2s3
 In this same period the automobile tour [ ists records show the following divisions as to persons and cars:
 West entrance, 14o3 persons in Ss2 cars
 North entrance 1877 persons in S65 cars
 East entrance. 7o1 persons in 1s3 cars
 South entrance, 92 persons in eight cars
 This gives a total of 351S persons in 95s cars.
 The normal tourist season for Yellow stone park is from June 15 to September . 15. Thus 1t will be seen that the automo- bile season, for this opening year, was one-half the total tourist season and in that period there was one person to enter . by automobile to seven persons who en- tered bzy all other means. This Is truly a remarkable showing when it is consid- cred there was a decided and general irn- pression that the roads to and from Yel- lowstone were not particularly good for automobile touring, It is also to be re- n,embered that for all other classes of touring the park has been opened F years.
 The wisdom of Secretary of the Interior Lane in opening the park to automohilists has been fully demonstrated by these fig ures, and next year. 1t is confidently ex- pected will see much larger proportion. Not the least contributing factors will be the proof of this year that it is pos sible to tour to the park and that the rules governing cars are well adminis- tered. Assistant to the Secretary Ste phen T. Mather, who has general charge of all national parks, and Col. L.. M. Brett, superintendent of the park. de- serve much credit for the success of the motor vehicle introduction.

Once again the law has taken its
stand on the side of Big Business in
the injunction granted by Judge Jesse
Baldwin against the mattresses,
which injunction is so sweeping that
it covers So restaurant owners who
were never approached by the wait
resses' union and who went into
court on false affidavit stating they
knew they we're threatened with
picketing, etc.
Judge Baldwin in his opinion max

now includes, among others, the Del

bought out Knab & Fitting and with
whom the mattresses have never even
had an interview, laid stress on the

that the mattresses had not filed a

Putting the Pope in the Movies.

Euttlng Ine rope III the MOVleSs
In the February American Ma
gazine Cleveland Moffett writes
the story of the remarkable adven-
lures of a young American who
persuaded the Pope to appear in
motion pictures. The title of the
article is Doing the Impossible, :"
and the man who accomplished
this piece of work is James Slevin
who spent eighteen months at the
task. To accomplish his purpose,
he learned Italian, showed the
Pope all sorts of films-even made
special motion pictures of the King
of England to use as an argument
and finally succeeded in remov-
ing every objection. One man, a
good Catholic, who tried to get
moving pictures of the Pope, was
excommunicated for his overzeal.
Another spent $4,000 at the
task, and failed. Mr.. Slevin sue
ceeded because he was tactful, in
genious and persistent almost be-
yond comprehension. As result
of his efforts, Pope Plus X. posed
for the pictures, and $4,000, 900
Catholics and others can see him
in the movies.
