MANY MOTORCYCLES WITH
PERSHING'S EXPEDITION

Perhaps in no other kind of equip
ment now being used by the United
States arm in the punitive expedition
into Mexico has there been greater i'm
terest than in the motorcycle equip
ment. Motorcycles have made good
wherever used and in the carrying Of
dispatches have proven invaluable.
Brig. Gen. George Bell has been so inn
pressed by the performance of motor
cycles in the Villa expedition that he
has recommended to the war depart
ment that every infantry regiment OF
the United States be equipped with
four motorcycles and every cavalry
regiment with not less than six motor
cycles. The chief difficulty at present
according TO the general. is the lack
of men who understand their mounts
but this trouble is rapidly being over
come.
In proportion to the size Of the army
now on Villas trail motorcycles are
numerous in the expedition. Ninety
machines are known to be in commits
sion. Quick dispatch is absolutely
necessary, and conditions as they exist
must be met unflinchingly. Durability
and dependability of tires is essential
in the land of hot sands and alkalis.
More than mere tire service is impera-
tive A majority Of the motorcycles
with Pershing's brigade are equipped
with Goodyear tires.

CHART SHOWS ECONOMY
OF DIVERSIFIED CASINOS

An interesting chart which will appeal TO
all motorists. is the one which has just been
prepared by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
company. by which any tire user can readily
ascertain his tire cost per mile. The de-
vice is simplicity itself. Three columns are
shown denomlnated a, "B." and &C -
showing respectively the initial tire cost, the
tire cost per mile and the tire mileage.
To find the tire cost per mile the initial
cost OF the tire and the tire mileage re-
ceived must be known. Then by stretching
a thread or rubber band from a point in
the first column representing the initial tire
cost, to a point in the third column repre-
senting the tire mileage received, the tire
cost per mile may be read at the point OF
intersection in the second column.
Now that motorists are giving more at
tention to tires and are counting the tire
cost per mile. instead OF considering only
the first cost Of the tire. the new Goodyear
chart viii be found helpful in showing how
a quality tire, even though higher in first
cost than other tires with the additional
mileage that IL will probably give, will cost
no more per tire mile. and in many In
stances will cost less
Then the chart IS valuable IN showing the
economy OF oversized tires. Through the
use OF these tires. the tire cost per mile
II invariably reduced. and at the same time
easier riding qualities and freedom from tire
trouble gained.

SAXON ENROLLED In

When the saxons dominated England they

For that reason alone the selection OF

Democratic club Friday night.

Mr. Thomson stated that he did not

sought any office at the hands of the
club. Il was DESTROYS that Mr.. Burgess

No Gag Rule.
The statement has been made" said
John NJ. Wyatt, in a short talk, that
this club nominated its ticket through
the fundamentally Of nine men. I de-
sire to state that this club nominated
every man on that ticket. There was
no gag rule, no force, there was a vote
on every man whose name was pro-
posed The club had full voice and
free vote. This was shown By the fact
in two or three instances the executive
committees recommendations were not
accepted. We had this advantage over
them (the ring Ocnvention) that our
committee was first confirmed by the
men of this club, and their selections OF
candidates were then passed upon by
the club. Another thing. There were
no stuffed ballot boxes" CApplause)
Mr.. Wyatt declared that undoubtedly
the city administration had made some
mistakes, but that the great benefits
that had accrued to the city since these
men had been put in office greatly out

There has never been a time within

was beset with so many dangers and
when the public welfare demanded
such constant attention by congress as

the proper hadling of these vitality inn
portant affairs is primarily and es-
pecially upon the Democratic party,
which, in this congress, has in reality
but small margin.
Therefore in this crisis, the very
closest sort Of team work under most
compact organization is necessary to
meet our responsibility TO the cOun-
try. and to secure the success of our
party in the coming election.
