Federal RUBBER
FIRM ENLARGING
!. TIRE FACTORIES

Word has been received by the Ho-
noIulu Rubber Works that the Federal
Rubber Co. has just completed the
erection of three large bunolngs
which are to be used exclusively IN
the manufacture of new cord tire
possessing several unusual and excep-
tional features. This new tire has I'M
dergone thorough and exhaustive tests
at the factory and has been pro-
nounced by their experts superior to
any similar tire on the market today.
A supply of these tires will reach Ho-
nolulu in about As days and orders
have already been received by the Ho-
nolulu Rubber Works from number
of their customers.
Other gratifying news received is to
the effect that two other large build
ings at the Federal factory are nearing
completion, in which will be manufac-
tured solid truck tires. This 'is also
an innovation with the Federal people,
but it is not in any sense an expert
ment. This tire will embody all the
best features entering into the manu-
facture of solid tires together with ad
ditional Improvements made as a re-
suit of extensive tests covering Pc
riod of more than a year. The Ho-
nolulu Rubber Works have placed an
order with the Federal factory for a
large stock of these solid tires, but it
will probably be three or four months
before they arrive here.

first shipment OF Elgln cars to arrive
in Honolulu, although this car is favor

Its power on Toad runs and its speed
in road races.
In speaking of Honolulu's latest car
Mr. Coombs said: 49,
Clean simplicity, together with long
yacht-like lines expressive of speed
and style, are the outstanding features
of the new Elgin Six, series II, tour
ing car and roadster.
The high quality of material and
expert workmanship entering into the
Elgin Six is distinctive from the gen
eral mass of cars hurriedly thrown to-
gether in wholesale fashion to meet
the competition of volume sales.
The exquisite taste of harmonious
proportions of the Elgin Six radiates
an atmosphere of marked refinement
SO desired by those wishing a car aloof
from the monotonous design of the
ordinary, types, which are so void of
originality.

A banner bearing the words, Army

Rotary Club of San Francisco started
a movement to boost given rides TO
the soldiers and sailors in the vicinity
A campaign was made and at the

motorists who are giving the boys in
the service lift at every opportunity.
To date. the movement has not gained

are tootsore at times, and it is not ex-
Te;ted that Honolulu will be behind

beautiful and graceful effect which
sets it apart as car of distinction and
character F.
The new Elgin Six, series II, road
ster, like it's companion the touring
car, is also individual in design and
perfectly finished to the minute detail
OF completeness.
Its feminine note of style, together
with its masculine sense of strength
and power, especially appeal to the
discriminating motorist. -" -. f..
The coy seats of the roadster, like
the commodious seats of the touring
car, are curved and tilted at just the
right angle to permit leaning back in
perfect comfort, as you would at home
in your favorite chair.
The body color of the roadster is
Elgin grey, with black hood, tenders
and running gear. It's windshield also
is tilted at a snappy angle, and its
upholstery, like the touring car, is d
black bright leather finish in French
plaits. The wheels of both touring
car and roadster are a light cream
yellow. ~r ~>... -
Zone of the most prominent of the
several outstanding features of the
new Elgin Six is its easy riding quail
ties. With few equals in this respect,
1t is not excelled in luxurious comfort
by any car on the market, regardless
of price. .... 49,.
The Elgin Six improved cantilever
rear spring suspension, the result of
exhaustive tests and experiments on
the part of Elgin engineers, has set a
new standard of motoring ease and
comfort at high speeds. This feature,
one OF the most important improve
ments of the past year in motor car
construction, is found only in the new
Elgin Six.
The special construction of the
Elgin velvet-acting clutch enables the
Elgin Six to be started on high gear,
under ordinary conditions, eliminating
to a large degree the necessity of gear
shifting, thus removing the least bar
rier to the safe and easy handling of
a motor car by women. 49,
The Elgin chassis, from radiator to
rear axle represents an assembly of
mechanical units that have endured
the test of time. Not an ounce of steel
is used in the chassis of the new Elgin
Six until it has been approved as UP
to the eXacting standards of our
engineering department"
Special features embodied in the
Elgin Six are as follows: ....@

NEW YORK, May 16.-Charglng
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's volun'

the result of an investigation which
it says has been conducted in all
sections of the country with a view
to finding out the true strength OF
probable volunteer force under the
former president
The Worlds investigation, it was
stated, was carried on in districts
where $4,000 troops were to be
raised and in most cases it found
only tenders of men and not actually
enrollments. 1t was found 1,175 men
were actually enrolled for service,
with $3.50 on the doubtful list and
25,4O7 yet to be enrolled.
Captain VIM. e. Dame, recruiting
officer in charge Of organization for
the Roosevelt division told the World,
it is stated, that the impression that
the division already is recruited is a
mistake Only tenders of service
have for the most part been received,

OPENING FOURTEENTH

The greater part Of the concrete
street work ordered by the city coun-
Gil for this spring will be completed

and the use of steam shovels and
other labor saving devices has made
possible the early completion of the
work.

ready for the concrete. This street
runs through the old baseball park
and opens up a part of town that is
going to be real beauty spot.

nue. between Thirteenth and Four
teenth streets this week. When the
north side paving program is COM
pleted, every street on this side of
the city as far out as Sixteenth. with
the exception of one or two blocks,

Cutters are in on Des Moines street
between Tenth and Twelfth. Gas ant
water mains are being placed in the
street and it will be necessary to
wait a few days for the ground to
settle before concrete is laid.
The paving of South Eighth street
