TIRE DOPE
(By A. j. POLIN, u. S, Tire MANI
Hard Wear In Quick Stops.

(By A. j. POLIN, U. S. Tire MANI
Hard Wear In Quick Stops.
1t is not unusual to hear that GER
tain cars are hard on tires. Some cars
are through improper balance or
through having too small tires, Yet
how many drivers do you see on the
street every day who stop their cars
In, say, twenty feet, when there is no
reason on earth why they should not
use forty feet Often in approaching
corner where there Is crowded
traffic a great many drivers maintain
their speed TO within a few yards Of
the crossing, then with a vigorous
application OF the brakes they come
to sudden stop. In such a case the
pavement acts like a coarse file on
the tires and wears away valuable
rubber. Quick stopping Is sometimes
necessary but very rarely so, when
one Is driving in city traffic. -Discre-
ton in the matter Of traffic will save
much of the tire wear about which
owners have sometimes complained.
The question OF brakes, too, is one
OF the most important I'm driving.
Brakes are not put on an automobile
for the purpose of stopping the wheels
but to compel the wheels to travel
slowly. IL is n well-known fact that
If the brakes OF a stret car or loco
motive are applied so hard that the
wheels stop entirely the result is Il
flat wheel The same conditions ap-
ply in applying the brakes to an auto
mobile. OF course, you don't hear
the flat wheels, but you have, never
theless, worn flat places on your rear
tires.
Begin to pull your car up early
enough to allow of your applying the
brakes gently in bringing the car to a
gradual stop without jolting yourself
or your passengers and without ruin
ing your tires and straining the
mechanism of your car.
Owners usually attribute such
trouble so faults IN the tire, when as
a matter Of fact 1t is the drivers own
Carelessness that is to blame.

Independence in respect 70 mineral re-

The European war may curtall the

BUICK CO. SHIPS
so CARLOADS CARS
Trainload Shipments Of Au-
tos Indicate Return of
Prosperity.
Shipment Comprised $40
Machines Sent to Den
yer and Portland.

Indisputable evidence that business
conditions In this country are getting
back to normal is furnished by the
fact that automobiles are beginning
to move in trainload quantities again.
For the first time since the middle
Of autumn the Buick Motor company
of Flint, Mich, resumed trainload
shipments this week. Until the war
broke out on the other side such
shipments were the rule with this
company, rather than the exception,
but when the business situation
frightened up as a result Of hostilities
abroad some dealers requested that
shipments be delayed.
This week the MacFarland Auto
company, of Denver, Buick distribu-
tors for Colorado, telegraphed for 35
carloads of Bucks, and this order
was quickly followed by another from
the Howard Auto company, Portland,
Ore, for 10 carloads Of cars These
two trains, containing $40 Buick
automobiles, left Flint on January l..
An order for over one thousand
automobiles has also been received
by the Buick Motor company
from their distributors in Ne
braska and these will go forward
in trainload shipments at an early
date.
This will be the second solid train
load Of automobiles ever shipped into
the northwest, and breaks all records.
The other train was also loaded with
Bucks, and was shipped to Portland
last year. This trainload Of auto
mobiles will also set another record
for Pacific northwest freight ship
ments, in that it will be the most
valuable cargo ever sent to that ter
ritory at one time.
The Buick representatives all along
the Pacific coast report that times
are back to normal at all places, and
that things are actually booming at
some points.
r. H. Collins, general sales man
ager has persistently declared It TO be
his belief that there would be general
shortage Of automobiles next spring
greater than has ever been known be-
fore and that the wise buyer was the
one who sent in his orders early, thus
assuring delivery,
Fred Shaw, the local dealer for the
Buick company says business is good
right now, but wait until / get my
building finished then watch my
smoke"

CHICAGO AUTO SHOW
JANUARY % TO 30

Chicago'q annual automobile show,
which takes place In the Coliseum
and First Regiment Armory, from
January 23 TO 80, will be the largest
motor car exhibition show in the
" orld this season. With the cancel
lation OF the big eXpositions in Lon
don, Paris and Berlin, on account Of
the war 1t Is left to the big national
Chicago and New York exhibitions to
strive for supremacy
The New York show, which closed
yesterday, had 800 exhibits, including
motor cars and accessories. The Chi
cago show will house 325 displays in
all departments. Ninety-four exhibit
ors will show motor cars and the bal
ance will exhibit accessories.
The Chicago show. like the New
York exposition, will be held under
the auspices OF the National Auto
mobile Chamber Of Commerce, Inc.
Both exhibitions are managed by
Samuel A. Miles, who, as usual, has
provided an artistic setting for Chi
cago. The general effects In both the
Coliseum and Armory will resemble
the interior Of huge conservatories,
The decorations will cost more than
$4,000.

Bay and box trees and brick walls
mounted with flower pots of rose

"The show will be greater than ever
this year" said Manager Miles. at is
gratifying to announce that with few
exceptions all of the leading manu-
facturers of the country will exhibit
at Chicago. Many Of the exhibitors
have been with us since the first eX-
position 10 years ago. l cite this fact
to demonstrate that the show has lost
none of its popularity, but, rather
seems to gain in that respect each

Added TO Up-to-Datc Factories.
Close on the heels OF the efficiency
man has come another specialist
known as the economy superintend-
ent The efficiency mans job Is TO
hold the stop watch on operations
with n view TO speeding them up or
shortening them, as well as 70 shorten
and simplify routine.
The economy superintendent on the
contrary, browses all round the
works TO see what is being used; how
II Is being handled; what is spoiled,
thrown away through ignorance, care

His supervision begins with the raw
materials coming into the plant, with

Within the past ten or fifteen years
materials have changed greatly. Steel

Iron, and the natural products, such
as lumber, rubber and fiber, were
used with allowance for their Iimita-
tions; but today there are literally
hundreds of varieties of steel for diff
ferent purposes and iron IL available
In different grades too, and has been
replaced by alloys. And all the nat
ural products have their manufac-
tured and synthetic substitutes
This wealth of modern materials
has pnpnpd IN vast uOsgibilitiog for
the economy man at the buying end
once on time he could only have
cut down costs by cheeseparing, using
less of the same material or an in
feriCI grade; but now there Is n rich
technical field to be worked. He can
often cut costs by using some other
material that is both cheaper and
better, His economies are not due TO
blind cheeseparing, but to ingenuity
and technical knowledge in the de-
sign of products and the layout Of
processes.
The flow of raw matreials into a
factory railroad system, public serv-
ice plant or any other business, Ia
constant and must go on as long as
the business runs at all. When these
materials flow out as finished pro-
ducts or service there may be no
table shrinkage.
As practically everybody connected
with the business Is doing something
with materials, the tracking down of
waste and leakage is another big di-
vision Of the economy mans work.

Origin of the Word

The word Automobile" comes from
two words, one Greek and the other
Latin. The two words are auto and
mobile. The former is derived from
the Greek autos, meaning self and
the latter from the Latin mobilis, ad-
verb, movable. This is originally de-
rived from the Latin verb, moveo,
moVero, moVi motus, meaning to
move. We are unable to say who first
suggested this word as the name for
self-propelled vehicles-The Auto
mobile.
