FOR A STANDARD TEST.
Easy for Motorist to Utilize Road
Stretch for Performance.

1t would be a wise plan for every
motorist, regardless Of whether or not he
cares for his machine, to establish a sort
of standard test for performance. This
may be easily done by taking some
stretch Of road that is familiar, accessible
and frequently travelled, and forming the
habit Of observing the performance OF the
car in traversing it. So long as observa-
tions are made with sufficient care it
matters very little what the conforma-
tion Of the course or its length, but for
general purposes fair stretch Of up
grade not too near home is to be pre-
ferred.
BY way Of example. suppose the car is
frequently driven over an easy high
gear" grade a mile or 50 from the garage.
When starting out in the morning the
motor will have become fairly warm be-
fore the grade is reached, so that its
operation can be fairly judged. II. then.

ing extra seats; tires are carried at the
rear, and tank either at the rear or under
the cowl. The dash lamp has been well
nigh eliminated. while the hoods are gen.
orally made wider at the rear to give
| better body lines in conformity with the
rounded radiator and better shaped
mud guards now in use. An important
development in all types of cars is the
lover effect obtaired by dropping the
frame. using smaller tires. etc.
Among the closed bodies the big tend
ency is toward the all-weather design,
| though there is also a tendency to push
the lighter types. the increasing popu-
larity of the sedan and the allweather
bodies and smaller town cars having re-
suited in the practical elimination of the
berline. Limousine and limousine-land-
auiet remain stationary as seven-passen-
ger bodies, although they are made more
luxurious and comfortable than the types
at the exhibition a year ago.
Runa bouts are comfortably built and
similar to last years designs, showing a
tendency to use the rear compartment for
carrying spare tires.

DISCUSSES BLOCKADE
AS AFFECTING RUBBER
President seiberling Of the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Company Re-
turns From England.

Asked about the probable effect of
Germany's blockade of England on the
crude rubber supply of the United
States, President F. A. Seiberling Of
| the GOODYEAR Tire and Rubber Com
pany, who has just returned from Eng
! land said:
up to the time 1 left England. on
the Lusitania, the English people were
not disposed to take Germany's block
ade declaration seriously. There can be
no doubt, however, if the blockade plan
is carried out, that there will be some
interference with shipping to the
United States. and rubber supplies for
America will come in for their share of
disturbance. If our supplies through
! England are actually cut off. we shall
do as we did before, when the Emden
was creating havoc with English ship
| pingsin the Indian ocean-get our sup
| plies by way of the Pacific ocean.
so long as Eng land does not reim-
pose an embargo against the shipment
| of crude rubber from her possessions
| to the United States, we do not look for
London Rubber Club Successful.
When I left for England, early in
| the outlook seemed dark for the Ameri-
can rubber industry. The Rubber Club
of America. through the State Depart
ment. has failed to move England from
her determination, and had given up.
However, the Rubber Club of Lon
Ion, composed largely of rubber brok-
ers, kept on working and was success
full. Before the Lusitania, carrying
American rubber men, reached the
other side, the embargo was off and
there was nothing for US % do except
to attend to the details for our re-
specdve companies
Mr.. Seiberling was abroad nearly two
months. As to the war he says:
America must retain her neutrality.
| All Americans should stand united on
that point, no matter what their polit-
ica1 beliefs may be. And the closer
| one views the conflict, the greater the
| sense of horror. 1t would be an un-
| speakable calamity for the United
| States to become involved in the con-
| flict that is devastating Europe"

ARMoRED CAR ON DISPLAY.
Duplicate of Machines in Use
Abroad at San Francisco Fair.

Considerable interest attaches itself
to the display by the United States
government of the Jeffery Quad truck
with the armored body, on which is
mounted rapid fire gun, at the San
Francisco exposition.
This is the only armored truck ex-
hibited by the United States govern
ment, and is duplicate in many ways
of the Jeffery Quad trucks which have
found such a big demand on the part
of European buyers during the war.
The Jeffery Quad was selected by the
United States government only after
exhaustive tests. These tests included
driving through mud that was over the
hubs. plowing through freshly titled.

and. in fact, doing features of work
which have hitherto been deemed i'm
