AUTO TIRE FABRIC TEST
INVESTIGATION FINISHED
Bureau of Standards Announces Re-
suits of Study of Various
Methods.

The bureau Of standards. Department
of Commerce, has completed a study of
the various methods of testing auto
mobile tire fabric as employed by the
cotton mills and the tire mills, and the
results of the several Investigations
have just been announced.
This work was undertaken with the
view to standardize the more important
methods of tests made upon II u ounce
cotton tire fabric. There was found
little or no uniformity in the methods
Of testing employed by the various
mills, and this had given rise to con-
fusion in the Interpretation of results
of tests. To improve this condition the
bureau assisted the fabric and tire
makers to develop methods of test best
suited for these fabrics.
The chief causes of variation in test

This engineer. upon his return to
Indianapolis, was greatly impressed
with the function the motor car played
in the war. He recites how on the
eve of the war one of the first things
the men responsible took into consid-

all available motor cars for service in

garages, from the streets, from bust
ness firms. from everybody. in fact. and
pressed into the service of the military
authorities In fact. the modern mo-
tor car has changed the entire plans
and scope of military operations and
1t is only logical to presume that in
case of hostilities involving the United
States this same situation would be
duplicated.
One of the first and one of the most
important war orders to come to this
country after the start of the Euro
pean war was the big orders for mo-
tor cars. Military authorities of for
eign countries Were quick to appreciate
that they must have automobiles-lots
of them-and have them quick. They
needed touring cars for the officers and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-04-02

they needed trucks for the munitions.
Fortunately for US. the United States
produces a big percentage of the
worlds automobiles. If the motor car
resources of this country were organ
lied so that any part of them could be
mobilized for quick use, it would un-
doubtedly be one of the best prepared
ness acts that could be accomplished.
1t is a well known fact that Germany's
initial success in invading France was
due to its ability to move its ar
mics quickly. Certainly the 1000, 900
automobiles in the United States could
transport a mighty big army and nee
essary supplies and do it promptly if
some kind of organization could be eff
fected through the many automobile
clubs"

RACES ON Pixies PEAK.
Automobile Contests to Be Staged
14,1O9 Feet Above Sea Level.

One of the most spectacular automo-
bile races ever staged is to be held on
the snow-clad summit Of Pixies Peak,
14,10s feet above the sea, August II
and ~. Chairman Kennerden of the
contest board Of the American Automo-
bile Association has issued an Official
sanction for the national climbing
contest for automobiles to the summit
of this giant sentinel of the Rockies.
The Federation Of American Motor
Cyclists also has sanctioned three mo-
tor cycle events August 10. The auto
mobile meet calls for four non stock
events. three of which are professional
and one amateur race. On the 18th one
race will be for cars having a piston
displacement of 230 cubic inches and
under and one for cars with piston dis
placement of 231 to 900 cubic inches.
On the 18th. in the forenoon. amateur
drivers will compete. the main event

make their cars cross country vehicles
also confront the automobile man in
Turkey. Both the United States and
Turkey possess deposits Of mineral oil,
which are a great incentive to motor
ing. America was the first country to
turn out medium and low-priced cars
on a large scale; and although the
causes underlying this tendency are to-
tally different from the reasons why
the Turkish market demands a low
priced car, In practice the results are
identical.
BY reason of their huge output and
the resulting low prices American fac
tories are in position to become Tur-
keys chief automobile suppliers when
conditions again permit the waging
of an active trade campaign.

Why Farmers Move to Town.

Farmers move to town, when they
are able. because the town schools are
better, generally speaking. than the
country schools: because the sanitary
conditions, which are necessary to
health, are better in the towns than in
the country; because the opportunities
for recreation are better in the towns
than in the country. because the con-
ventences to tighten the burdens OF
housekeeping are provided IN the towns
and not in the country.
"All the conditions of rural ii1e can
be immensely improved by the organ
ization of rural communities in their
own interest. and the first step toward
the improvement of these conditions is
the building of good roads. Good roads
mean better schools, better neighbors.
better churches, better houses to live
in, closer touch with the outside world.
easier ways to market, a thousand new
centers Of social activities where there
is none now and the return to the free
and independent life of the farm of
hundreds of thousands who have sought
refuge from the hardships of rural life
in towns and cities where men live to-
gether, however far apart in sentiment
and aspiration.
How can the women help the good
roads movement? In many ways. If
ing Of roads. by making the question a
domestic matter. If additional taxes
are required. by presenting to the mem
bers of the family who vote the ques-
ton as it affects the wife and children.
II there are roads to be dragged
graded by community action. by taking
care that the men and boys put in
full days work. BY making common
cause with the American Highway AS
ISOLATION and all other organizations
working for the improvement of the
highways for the benefit especially of
those who live in the country. This APP
peal for the help of the women is suf-
flcent without further suggestion. If
they think well of it they will find the
way"

Consul General at Constantinople
Reports at Length on Market for

Consul General G. Bic Ravndal at

French car that had great difficulty in
travelling over the narrow, incumbered,
ill-paved streets and could not venture
on any road outside the city.
Following the example of the Con-
stantinople municipality. all the larger
towns of the empire adopted a pro-
gram of public improvements. Streets
were widened. paved and extended,
while the central government let large
contracts for the building of public
highways With better driving pos
sibilities better cars were imported,
and today the most up-to-dat type Of
streets of Constantinople. Still, their
number is insignificant compared with
what it certainly will be In the near
future.
Few Motor in Turkey.
That motoring in Turkey is yet in it's
infancy is shown by the absence of ef-
fective municipal regulations relative
to number plates, speed. light, etc, and
by the lack of skilled chauffeurs. At
present a yearly tax of about $50 Ia
collected on each pleasure car. 1t Is
understood, however. that new sched-
ule of taxation based on horsepower is
being elaborated, and the large number
of men trained in the military auto
mobile school since the beginning OF
the war will raise the average OF EN-
cheney among chauffeurs to a higher
level.
Garages in Constantinople are far in
advance of motoring. There are sew
eral we'll equipped garages. able to
hold many more cars than they do. The
builders anticipated a considerable
growth, and developments have more
than justified their hopes and predic-
tons. 1t is now conceded that. no mat
ter what the issue of the present war
may be, Turkey Will begin reaping the
benefits of it's natural riches and the
automobile business will flourish.
Chance for American Cars.
In examining the possibilities of sue
cess Of the American automobiles in
Turkey one is struck by the analogy
existing between conditions In the two
countries in regard to the motor trade.

reation without better roads. and what
would better farm production profit if
there were not better roads to market?
1.-THE subject is SO large that it can
not be discussed in single article, and
this present writing is intended chiefly
to suggest some of the features of the
She side of the good roads movement.
To make rural life comfortable there
must be rural organization. Men will
not stay on the farm II the farm is not
made attractive. Women will starve
for the things that make life worth
living-good schools for their children.
community centers for recreation, well
built houses with sanitary conven-
fences. well constructed roads passable
at all seasons of the year, so that they
may freely enjoy the companionship of
their neighbors and the rest of the
things they lack to make their lot con
tented. AS the characteristic evils of
urban life grow out of congestion. as
DR.. Carver expresses 1T, so do the char
actertstic evils of rural life grow out OF
isolation. Except for a few rare souls,
isolation means stagnation.
