OFFICIAL TELLS HOW
 TO CONSERVE TIRES
Fisk Rubber Man Explains Causes
 for Rapid Wear

Oftentimes new drivers of motor cars are disappointed in the mileage they obtain from their tires and are at a loss to understand why tire should show wear in few hundred miles Tn explaining this point an of ficial of the Fisk Rubber company at Chicopee Falls, Mass. recently gave both the cause and the cure.
 Unusually rapid wear of tire" he said, lis more often due to improper alignment of the front wheels than to any other cause. great many mo- torists overlook this feature and dis appointment soon follows.
 "The forward wheels of a car should never be set so that they are exactly parallel to one another. nor to the di rection of the car The tires should "toe in" slightly. not more than three- eighths inch. but just that slight set ting away from parallel means sew eral hundred miles in the life of q tire. This alignment is adjustable. be- ing taken up in the steering knucEle.
 Tt is the practice in our free serv- ice stations. 130 of which are located in the principal cities of the United States, to inspect autos for proper alignment of wheels, irrespective of the make of tires that are used. Chang ing of tubes and castings. inspection of cuts and all tire work except actual repairs are likewise free of charge in. all Fisk service stations. Many thoughtful motorists who are taking advantage of our offer to drop in reg ularly at the nearest Fisk branch to have their wheels inspected for align ment are obtaining greater mileage than ever before'

SID CHAPLIN BUYS
 MITCHELL FOR WIFE

"Sid Chaplin, brother of the famous and inimitable Charley ana also himself a we'll known com edy star of the movies. has just re- ceived one of the latest Mitchell con- vertible sedans and presented it to his wife for touring in southern Califor- mia.
 Mrs. Chaplin was not familiar with operating a machine so her husband was particularly careful to pick out one which did not have lot of con- plicated devices unknown and hard t) operate by a woman. He chose the latest Mitchell of the new limousine type, having a dark blue-lbody and white wire wheels. After Investigating and demonstrating the elasticity of the Mitchell motor and the ease witt which the car may be operated Mc Chaplin wasted no time in placing his order and was able to get very prompt delivery. owing to the forethought of the dealer who. in anticipation of the freight car shortage, had given his or. ders early and had full line of Mitclt- ell models on hand"

OVERCHARGING CAUSE OF BUCKLED PLATES
Excessively Heats Batteries and Per
 manently Injures the Plates

"Bucl1led plates are often the result of overcharging a battery" says Dan Dren- nen of the Birmingham Motor company local distributors of the USI battery service station. ..
 Excessive overcharging, or violent dis charging heats the battery beyond all bounds and is very apt to permanently injure the plates. Therefore, never allow the regulation of the generator to be such that the charging current runs riot and an overpulus of charging energy is damned into the battery.
 Battery plates are constructed to withstand a certain amount of charging, but no more. A No. shoe will bulge if No g foot is showed into it. Tn like manner battery plates bulge or buckle if subjected to strain of, say, 30 ann peres when only constructed to with. stand charge of 12 amperes. The plates of a battery are restrained at their edges so that when the energy oversteps the limit they bulge sdewise, thus wearing away the corners of the separators, which is the forerunner of short circuits and a useless battery box"
 MT. Drennen also referred to the book let "The Black Mystery Box Ex. plained." which is mailed, free upon re- quest, by the United States Light and Heat corpora ton, of Niagara Falls, N. Y, saying: There would be less bat tery trouble if every car owner would get one of those easily understood battery instruction booklets"

STUDEBAKER HEAD SAYS PROSPEROUS
 ERA NOW ASSURED
State of War Stimulates Active De- mand for All Farm and Manu-
 factured Products

Now that our country has been thor oughly embroiled in the titanic world war, there exists in the minds of some men feeling of uncertainty as to it's eff feet upon business conditions here on this side of the Atlantic. Contrary to rat1fer general impression that prevails n this country, "bg business is appar- eptly not at all worried over the interna- tional complications. The following state ment from A. R. Erskine, president of the Studebaker corporation, certainly sounds an optimistic note concerning fu- ture prospects.
 "A state of war always stimulates an active demand for the products of the mines, fields and factories" says MT. Err skine, and the United States has felt this demand from foreign countries for the past three years to an extensive de- gree The entry of the United States into the war simply increases the de- mand and consequently large increases in prices have ensued recently for all agri- cultural products, live stock and food supplies generally. The demand for mu- nitions and war supplies continues very heavy, not only from the allies, but from our own government, and consequently ln6 llQuSlIleS Ol Jne country are anu will continue to be operated at full ca pacity upon these orders Thus, it is ev- ident that our people in all pursuits arc receiving large incomes, perhaps greater than ever before in our history, and as long as this condition lasts, business will be good.
 Our plants at Detroit, South Bend and Walkerville are operated at capacity, and we are selling our output as fast as it can be shipped. We believe that our business for 1917 will be larger than that of last year, and we urge all salesmen and dealers to take advantage of the ex- isting opportunities and get their full share of the business.
 This is no time for any man to feel pessimistic. The great resources of the United States, it's energy and power are being employed in the war, and large expenditures must ensue, which in them selves mean prosperity for our people, in spite of the high prices and increased taxes that will prevail while the war con tinues.

The First Avenue garage has been appointed distributors for northern Alabama for the Haynes Motor com pany. T. c. Fitzgerald and P. w Cor ham, the proprietors state that they are now ready to push the Haynes throughout their district and from in- dica tions are confident of big sales. In speaking of the Haynes Mr. Fitz- gerald said:
 The constant trend of the automo- bils industry has been toward mo- tor car that would run without TO- tieeable vibration. accelerate quickly and smoothly. and unite power with economy, The progress toward the achievement of this ideal brought out Elwood Haynes first two-cylinder op- posed motor in 1897. This came into being to displace the one cylinder en- zine, and was in turn forced to give way to the four and six-cylinder mo- tors.

PNEUMATIC TIRES
 FOR AUTO TRUCKS
Goodyear Experts Claim Better Time Can Be Made
 and Save Wear on Car

'Thousands of truck owners are adopt ing pneumatic tires this year" said Jewell Taylor manager of the local Good matic truck tires in many lines of serv- ice have been proved thoroughly. The country has been having an agitation in regard to the effect of heavy trucks on interurban pavements. The contention of tire manufacturers that pneumatic tire equipment saves both the truck and the read, permits better time and does not modify the size of the load, has led to a lot of investigation, and the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company, for instance, reports an enormous increase m the de- mand for it's pneumatic cord truck tires this spring.
 Naturally, at first encounter truck owners have been somewhat awed by the size of the cord pneumatics, which range from 49x9 downward. Foreseeing that there would be speculation as to the time and effort required for tire changes in case of accident the company has re- gently conducted a number of tests one of which is related herewith, in the lam guage of the Goodyear expert:
 Tn the city of Canton, O., bus line operates five passenger-carrying trucks between Canton and Massillon, eight miles, on a regular schedule. Tire equip ment is 37x5 Goodyear pneumatic cords front and 40xS No Hook, All lWeather tread cord tires rear. For a test we ran one of the busses to it's service station, and asked for tire change. I held my watch on the operation Two men went at it. The bus was jacSed up; air let out; lock- ing and side ring taken off; casing and tube removed from rim; flap taken out of tire; all air squeezed out of tube; fresh tale placed in casing; tube inserted; flap inserted; tire replaced on rim; locking ring and side ring placed in proper posi- ton; tire inflated to 250 pounds by tank and jack removed-all in Il minutes.
 'I believe we can safely bank on the changing of one of these tires in either, 6 ', or 9-inch sizes, on the road, in about 20 minutes by men only fairly ex- perienced in the operation Tn such cases engine pumps provide the ideal means for reinflation; but if necessary enough air can be pumped in by hand to permit run ming the truck to the nearest air station. The rims obviate what might otherwise prove bugaboo in changing Goodyear pneumotic cord truck tires.

ELEPHANT TRAVELS
 IN A SPECIAL AUTO
Circus Corporation to Transport Giant
 of the Herd by Motor

/ t''Violet' furnishes one of the biggest problems in transportation that the new motorized circus has to face. This can be realized when it has been learned that she weighs three tons and takes up 792 cubic feet of space" said J. E. Weldon, local manager of the F'irestone branch.
 Tt might be well to mention at this juncture that Violet is member of the pachyderm family, and enjoys the dis tinction of being one of the largest ele- plants in the Bostock herd, which has been purchased by the United States Cir GUS corporation, presenting the new enter prise of showdom.
 Violet will travel in a specially built Troy trailer, equipped with F'irestone Giant tires. The trailer, now under con- struction, will have a padded floor and sides and an underslung body on extra heavy springs. Her car will be hauled by lightly laden Springfield truck, which machine has been adopted along with Firestone tires and Troy trailers as exclusive equipment for the circus.'

 No longer can we consider drive aways circus stunts to achieve publicity. They have become matter of fact solu- ton of the automobile builders trans- portation problem.
 Although the drive-away has some in- conveniences, these are more than coun- terbalanced by the advantages derived. For one thing it is quicker than the fastest freight, and as quick as express service would be if we could get it or afford 1t.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-04-29

Another bis .~- Jantage is that the cars reach our customers in better running condition than if they had been shipped by railroad or steamer.
 As everybody knows it requires few hundred miles of running to put a car in it's best shape.
 Tn drive-aways, this 1imbering up process is practically completed.
 That is why good many dealers in- tend to continue driving away their cars, even after traffic conditions are inn proved"

 In the four cylinder engine a notice- able gap occurred between each power impulse. The frequency of the power impulses was increased in the six cylinder engine and the gap elimln- ated. The eight-cylinder V-type motor represented further achievement in the
