WARPROMISESIO
STIMULATESALE
OF AUTOMOBILES

DETROIF, Mich.,-When the gov
eminent cuts down railroad passenger
service TO meet the nations military
needs, this win, in the opinion Of T. J.
Toner, director OF sales Of the Maxwell
Motor company, give a tremendous i'm
petus to the use Of automobiles for
travelling purposes.
This Is not merely a theory have
evolved" said Toner In hts office at
Detroit the other day. Plans to this
end are already tentatively under way
in the big centers. -.
Il have been advised by business
men in New York, for instance, that
they expect to be thrown back in the
motor car as almost the only method
Of making short trips. The automo-
bile, they believe, will soon be an ab-
solute, necessity for one who has to
do much travelling.
With a million or two men under
arms in this country-being moved
frequently rom one camp to another
or to. the seaboard for transportation
to Europe-the government will have
to commander a large part of the
railroad passenger facilities. How
far this win affect the general public
it Is impossible to predict, but rail-
road travelling facilities are going to
be greatly reduced.
The automobile offers the only sub
stitute and l look Tor its extensive us9
by men and women who have to go
from one city to another and cannot
get railroad accommodations.
IF this situation lad arisen a few
years ago the automobile might not
have been equal to the emergency. But
great strides hare been made in motor
car efficiency and no fear Of the auto
mobile falling, down on the job need
be entertained now.
The motor car is faster and cheap
er than the train as passenger con-
seyailce. And not only, In my opinion,
viii many of the cars now in. use be
put in this service, but also conditions
will greatly stimulate automobile
sales.
THE automobile has become, al
ready necessity in our American life.
War, it appears, is to make it even
more CO."

COSTLY TO MAN.
Who owns AUTO

seNow that real weather is returning
and the cars are getting into active
service all over the country, It seems
timely to give car owners little re-
hinder as to tire, initiation" says
Pop Hesse of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company.
differentiation is always costly to
the tire user. differentiation is often
INDUCED in as a luxury. Like all
other luxuries 1t Is usually expensive.
II Is our desire to enable and % he lip,
wherever possible, every Goodyear tire
user to get the most miles possible
from his tires. We might make n ore
sales and more profits If tires were
used up as quickly as possible, but
we are believers in the kind of busi-
ness built on satisfactory service. We
urge Goodyear tire users to let Good
year service stations help them get
more miles from their tires. Our
service stations are there for that pur-
pose Just as much as they are there to
sell goods. Get their advice as to in
flation. Submit to their inspection.
Start the summer driving season
right -
''lf you have underinflated your
tires because you have feared that
higher pressure might injure them,
this may interest you: ..--...-
we have often inflated tires to a
pressure of several hundred pounds
per inch in our factory, for expert
mental purposes-just to see what
would happen We have never yet
burst a single tire that way. In every
instance either the rim or something
else has given way first. So recon-
mended pressures are safe pressures.
n il also true that hot weather EFFECT on
tires-th expansion Of contained air
by summer heats not at all danger
Gus. We have made very careful
tests, to determine that point exactly.
Experience also teaches US that the
average initiation apparatus rarely
gives the tire the air pressure expect.
ed. There are a number Of reasons
for this, one being the air friction on
the interior of the pipes. Therefore
we recommend that the table Of proper
air pressures which we have prepared
be accepted as minimum pressures, If
the car user wants the mileage that
Is built into his tires. The air pres

more useful than mere nag waVlns-

be is the problem. One OF the most
important men in the Paige field or

Mr.. Sturtevant's plan has nothing to

to spend a portion of their time dGr-
ing the spring and. summer raising
vegetables and fruit for the coming
winter. He offered, therefore, any
member of his staff who was willing
to work the land all he could raise

eagerly accepted and the land was
quickly allotted among the SturteVant
