Food administration officials fear

however, that Americans must con-

Australians Claim Substitute
For Rubber Tire Solved

As in other countries OF vast dis.
tances and comparatively few travel
ing facilities, the advent OF the motor
car in Australia has, to very con-
siderable extent, solved the Difficult.
ties of transportation, says The Power
Wagon. In many parts Of the coun-
try the roads are merely bush tracks
or overland stock routes, on which
herds OF cattle are driven long dis
tances to the city markets or coastal
freezing works.
The rough nature of the country
over which the cars travel and the ex-
cessive heat often experienced have
made the cost OF rubber tires serious
item in maintenance, thereby leading
to many experiments in obtaining a
substitute for rubber at a moderate
cost. The invention and recent per-
lection OF the Australian 'homing"
tire is claimed to have solved the
problem OF producing an emergency
tire at comparatively small cost.
Tests with tires made of various kinds
of fiber were made, with the result
that coir fiber was found to be the
most suitable for the purpose because
of its lightness, cheapncss, residence

Present Merchandising of Autos
Very Different from Old Methods

The present-day merchandising
plans for automobiles, asserts W. L.
Killy OF the Noyes-Killy Motor COM
panN distributors of the Saxon and
King. is SO distinctly different from
the old methods OF handling cars and
the methods pursued in other lines OF
business that it is almost impossible
for outsiders 10 realize the enormous
growth OF the industry and the great
variety OF problems that confront the
men in this industry.
"ln the first place, there are so
many men with original engineering
ideas and original ideas of economy,
production methods, etc, that one
must be ever alert to catch the new
ideas and new arguments which are
being advanced in favor Of different
types OF construction and the effect
they will have on the rating OF the
present models OF the different man
uiacturers.
Countless new ideas are being ad-
vanced for betterment--some OF these
are good and some OF them are abso-
lutely valueleSs-but owing to the
fact that SO many Improvements have
been made recently one must be on
the lookout continually in order that
the particular model which the dealer
has chosen to handle is the last word
in construction and finish.
THE dealers must, if they wish to
be successful, estimate very closely
the number OF cars which they will
need for their territory. Owing to
the fact that the manufacturers of
