An extension adding 20,475 square
feet TO the Packard service station in
Long Island City has just been COM
pleted, increasing the company's in
vestment in this particular unit to
approximately three-quarters of a
million dollars.
Though devoted solely TO the up
keep of Packard cars and trucks in
New York and vicinity, in size and
equipment the station rivals many a
factory. When the demand for space
in the service portion Of the Packard
company's metropolitan business six
years ago outgrew its old confines IN
the New York headquarters, 1t
was decided 10 establish the service
headquarters just three miles east on

INCREASED SUPPLY OF
RUBBER LOWERS COST

So many industries are face TO
face with constantly decreasing sup
plies of raw materials and ever in.
creasing demands due to population
growth, that the contrast afforded BY
the rubber business looms up wildly.
In 1905, according TO figures given
out for publication by the B. T.
Goodrich Company, uncultiyated or
native" rubber comprised $4,000
tons. while in 1914 the production
had dropped back to $4,000 tons. But
cultivated or plantation rubber IN
the same space of time had risen
from l45 tons to $4,000 tons.
In 1917 the Goodrich company Is
Inmates that while native rubber pro-
duction will have fallen 70 34,50
tons. plantation rubber will amount
70 147 900 tons. BY 1921 it is pre-
dicted that 100000 tons of cultivated
rubber will be available, while but
30 900 tons of native rubber Will be
produced.
Thus 1917 will show total in.
crease of 80 per cent in crude rub
Der supplies over 1914, due TO the
fast-growing production on planta'
tons. And when raw rubber reaches
that level of cost which vastly in.
creased supplies would indicate,
myriad new uses will be added TO
those for which the present relatively
limited production is required.

Outing in

By Nj. L. ELSASSER.

Monday morning we started out
with the Scripps- Booth 10 find out
how handy a little speedster and
round-about-town car 1t is. we
wound up by doing that, and more,
too. think we even surprised our
selves. We took a four-cylinder,
three passenger roadster. a sporty
looking little car. of brilliant blue,
with contrasting trimmings of black.
II was a distinctive car. not only In
appearancc, but in operation. You
could not confuse it with any other
That is the way with the Scripps-
Booth.
We started from downtown at 9:5O
a. m, and before we got TO the l3Oth
Street ferry we saw how easy 1t Is
10 steer the little car. 1t is certainly
convenient for the congested down.
town district.
At 1910 we were at the ferry,
having stopped only to fill the tank
with gasolene. K. P. Breese, who is
connected with the Scripps-Booth
company in New York, was driving.
When we got to Fort Lee 1t was
drilling, yet the little car shot up
the long, steep hill from the ferry
on high. And the River Road IN
Fort Lee is full of ruts-still, 1t was
surprising how little we felt the
shocks. When you see how light the
car is you expect it to be rather
hard riding, but you are certainly
agreeably surprised.
Not Only Good Roads Used.
am going to have a hard time
telling you where we went, for, as
Mr.. Breese said, it seemed we had
been near everywhere, but actually
through very few places. We seemed
to take the back way to every place,
for it was a rare thing when we
struck a main road.
We ran through Leonia, and were
soon in Demarest. From the road
here we were afforded the most Won
derful view. For miles we were
right in pleasantly rolling hills
which stretched away as far as you
could see. The misty rain that was
still falling made the roads nasty, to
be sure, but it gave the woods
freshness and a cleanness that more
than made up. And, besides, the
Scripps-Booth did not seem TO mind
the roads, so why should we? we
followed the road to Closter, then
turned to the right at the crossroads
sign directing to the Palisades.
Wonderful Scenery, but Poor Roads.
The road itself was muddy and
full Of deep ruts. but the country it
went through was so lovely we could
not resist taking this road. We went
for miles through country that
showed no sign of habitation. And
it was evident that the motorists all
knew the poor condition of the roads,
for we saw only one machine the
whole way.
We made no effort to get out Of
these poor roads, for we wanted to
see Just how the Scripps-Booth
would make them, and besides, they
led through prettier country than
the main roads did. But we were

Panorama of the Hudson.

The expansive view, as it was sud
denly disclosed to US, was of unsur-
passed beauty. 1t was still misting,
as it had done all morning, and the
city lay across the river, partly re-
vealed. partly hidden, by the opales-
cent haze that hung over the land
scape.
It was Just II o'clock when we
came out at this point. If only we
had turned back at once. But Mr..
Breese saw a point, away from the
road, right at the very edge Of the
bluff. where he wanted TO put his
car. 1t had rained enough to make
the earth muddy and soft, and above
all, slippery. The ground sloped at
an angle Of about 20 per cent and in
stead Of being smooth was broken
with heavy, jagged rocks, that made
an irregular and bumpy stairway.
This stairway was only a narrow
neck of land, perhaps thirty feet
wide, with a sheer drop to the river
on either side.
A Taste of the Motorists JOY"
Not to be daunted, Mr.. Breese
started the little car down this in
cline, and all went well till the rear
axle stuck on a projecting rock and
we were left helpless.
Here we were, on this steep,
muddy grade, with only one non
skid tire on the back wheels. We
could neither go forward nor back
ward. One of the rear wheels did
not even touch the ground, the rock
we were stuck on was so high.
Here began a search for tools and
implements. A careful survey Of

Visitors ar the Government Camp
Hotel, situated part way up the side
OF Mt. Hood, Oregon, are enjoying,
with the aid of glasses or a tele-
scope, an unusual bit Of Rocky Noun
tain scenery. A Paige-Detroit tour
ing car of the standard Fairfield
model is slowly working its way to
the top of Crater Rock, which is
more than three-fourths of the way
to the peak of Mt. Hood, and as the
Paige is now well above the timber
line, it is clearly visible against the
snow. This Paige won the silver
cup offered by the proprietors Of the
Government Camp Hotel for the first
automobile to reach that point dur
ing 1916. Not content with having
won the prize, for which nearly
every dealer in Portland was trying,
Mr. Doan determined to climb on up
to Crater Rock.
New Workers We're given an oppor-
tunity Tuesday of inspecting the
Emerson Four" as it travelled down
broadway to the City Hall and Park
Row section and thence to Wall
Street and the Broad Street Curb.
This is the long heralded low priced
five passenger touring car that is
made in this city and represents he
first popular priced automobile TO be
made in the territory contiguous TO
New York. R. C. Hupp, former
vice-president and general manager
Of Hupp Motor Company and the de-
signer of the Emerson Four, was at
the wheel.
Since 1901, when the Firestone
Tire and Rubber Company moved
into the new enormous factory, the
sales have grown from 1852, 5s117
to 1851 ,8S4.33, making a total in
crease of PSI per cent for the last
five years. This last year. 1915-'16,
the increase to June I was 80 per
cent over the remarkable showing of
the year before.

WILSON DEMANDS
AUSTRIA'S APOLOGY
Nete. Inefdent Taken rs De-
lfherafe Insult.

Washington, June 2s.--The state De-
partment made public today this gov
ernment's note TO Austria Hungary In
the case of the Standard Oil tanker
Petrolite. That vessel was attacked
by an Austrian submarine December
81. 1915.
The note Is the strongest yet de-
livered to the Central powers.
This government, the note sage, re-
CARDS the attack on the Petrolite as a
deliberate insult to the American fra s.,
and an invasion of American rights.
The demands OF the United States
are:
l. An apology.
.. That the commander of the sub
marine be punished
g. That reparation be made for the
injuries sustained by the payment of
an indemnity
II Is indicated to Austria that she
should make Immediate and ample
amends.
The State Department denies every
allegation heretofore set up by Aus
tria in defenses of the action of her
submarine commander.
Officials are at loss to explain why
the submarine issue with the Central
powers was revived at a time when
this government Is in grave difficult
ties with Mexico. after the apparent
settlement OF the undersea boat is
sue with Germany.
