SMOOT PLEASED
With BUSINESS
IN CALIFORNIA

p. NJ Smoot, member of the aggres-
sive firm Of automobile accessory
dealers, Smoot & Steinhauser. Honolu-
lu agents for the Firestone Tire &
Rubber Company, in an interview
granted by him to San Francisco news
paper men, expressed himself as be-
ing agreeably surprised at the very
evident prosperity San Francisco
shows, in spite OF the fact that the
exposition has been closed for almost
a year. In Mr.. Shoots eyes this city
is today just as busy as IL was when
the worlds fair was at its height.
noticeable feature" says Smoot,
is the greatly increased number Of
automobiles to be seen here now as
compared with last year. Not only Is
the number OF motor-driven vehicles
very large, but their variety is legion
Well informed as ! ought to be on
the different makes Of cars on the
market, have been appalled, at the
number ! have seen in the last two
days that were absolute strangers to
me.
"One thing that makes my visit
in San Francisco very pleasant is the
wonderful cordiality extended to me,
not only by Mr.. Firestone, but By
every member of the San Francisco
branch. Mr. Firestone, whose visit
to Honolulu early this year will be
remembered by many, is one of the
most hospitable men l ever know, and
this spirit has been reflected by every
one OF his lieutenants with whom l
have come in contact.
1T is inspiring to the observer to
note the wonderful harmony and spirit
of cooperation that prevails IN this
establishment, and my one regret is
that we cannot at this time have
everyone or cur boys met everyon ,
of the Firestone boys and girls"
Il leave for Akron, o., the home of
the great Firestone factory, tomorro ",
in company with Mr.. Firestone and
the sales force of this branch. to at.
tend the annual sales conference. /
will meet over 500 Firesrone sales
men from all over the world. Need.
less to say. am looking forward to
this with keen anticipation.
When asked what he thought was
the most unusual thing about San
Francisco, he replied instantly: THE
absolute abseace of the horse. In the
three DAYS have been here" he con-
tinued, II don't believe have seen
three horses, and that is an average
OF one a day. Pleasure cars, of
course, abound, but many huge trucks,
the majority of which are Firestone
shod, hum busily on Frisco's hills. l
wonder" he added reflectiyeiy, "if J
am going to see any horses at all in
the East?"

BRAINS Of EUROPE
SEEK SUBSTITUTE
FOR MOTOR FUEL

England's motorists are interested N
motor fuel substitutes. The following
is from the London Globe:
Never since motoring began has
there been so much anxiety as now
to procure q substitute motor fuel.
Everywhere the cry is for something
to replace or exc out petrol, and ali
sorts OF propositions are being heard
OF that sound promising in theory,
but are very doubtful IN practise. In
fact, one hears of liquors that bear q
strong resemblance to parafin OIL be-
ing put up In drums and offered Is
motor fuels under attractive names az
something over double the present
market price of paraffin. AS a rule,
the firms selling these mysterious sub.
stitute fuels say that they must Be
mixed with a considerable portion OF
petrol, but they usually omit to state
that under certain conditions paranin
oil can be mixed with petrol and
SiIl produce fuel that most cars can
be run on, especially in hot weather.
Motorists, however. are apt to fail
to realize that though ii may be pos
sible to coax car along the road on
paraffIn, or fuels other than benzol or
petrol, such procedure may often set
I'D considerable damage In the engine
The trouble is that unless there -
complete yaporization the fuel Is apt,
not only to cause carbonization, but
also to thin the fabrication oil ana
cause heating and deterioration Of the
engine bearings"
