ahead we'll. Engineer Wheeler, who
was out there last week, reports that
one cylinder and two batter piles are
now down. The piles are thirty feet

both sides and they give great strength
10 the cylinder and aid in resisting the
shock of waves in rough weather
A diver does the fitting Of the batter
piles and cylinders and he Is closely
guarded. In addition to the ordinary
life lines and other devices usually used
BY divers, man is kept ON the wharf

F|RESTONE TIRES
 GIVEN DIFFICULT
 STABILITY TESTS

The thoroughness with which the modern automobile tires are tested was pointed out last week by local tire dealer. The Firestone Tire & Rubber company has from two hun- dred and fifty to three hundred cars, being driven constantly in all parts of the country. putting Firestone tires to the test, he said This is the substance of information received by Ed Ru- dolph, local Firestone agent
 These cars, which are driven by statesmen, branch managers, factory representatives and other employees of the company, experience all kinds of weather roads and climates In the mountainous states of the west the cars are driven over rocky mountain roads which are not much more than trails.
 Here the tires are subjected to the severest trials, bruised by rounded boulders and cut by jagged rock. Here also the tires show their imperviability to sudden changes in temperature.
 There are cars on the desert sands of Arizona and New Mexico cars in the rainy states of Oregon and Washing ton, cars in the hills of Vermont, Vir- ginia and Tennessee, and cars in the lowlands of the Mississippi valley.
 Monthly reports are sent in to the home office at Akron, showing the mileage, service and condition of the tire, and the roads and weather experi- enced. From these records the service ability of the tire is determined.

ter tank; on the other a large emer- gency box. To the regulation equip ment are added three regulation army filters with blankets.
 To facilitate overseas" shipping the body has been made collapsible.
 What makes this car particularly ap propriate for donations is that two brass plates, about two feet long, for attaching to the car, are also supplied. The names of the donors can readily be inscribed on these plates.
 Another point of particular advan tage in the use of the cars is the ra pidity with which service can be ren- dered on them even on the western battle front. Owing to the fact that a great number of Willys Overland cars have been supplied to the Belgian, British and Australian troops in France there is a large force of skilled Ameri- can mechanics in the battle zone right now, ready to give service on Willys- Overland ambulances at short notice.
 Willys- Overland, Inc, also main- tains large stocks of parts in it's ware houses at London and Paris, cutting to a minimum the length of the time that might be required for replacing of damaged parts for these cars.

PA|CE-DETRO|T SALES SHOW 4
 N|CE INCREASE

In cars actually sold, shipped from the factory and delivered July de- veloped not only the largest July buSi- ness, but also the largest single months business in the history of the Paige Detroit Motor Car company. This is the third time that Paige sales and production records have been broken since the first of the year, &C., cording to the Pecklo-Cord Motor company, local agents for the Paige car
 "The embarrassing feature of this situation" said Sales Manager Henry Krohn. "is the fact that, though we taxed our capacity to the limit, we were able to fill in July only about 5S per cent of our actual July orders Paige dealers from every state in the union have been haunting the fac tory in the hope of increasing their car allotments. And we are just as much over-sold in New York as we are in California.
 "No doubt many conditions enter into it-big crops, the release of the vast sums of money which the gov ernment is using to buy supplies, mun- itiors, equipment of all kinds. Paige cars have always given good service. but our dealers report that the models we have been selling since the first of the year have been giving such extra ordinary satisfaction that The Most Beautiful Car in America is actually selling itself.
 1 With the remarkable enthusiasm 1 of our entire sales organization, with the big deliveries of materials already in the factory, with general conditions 1 improving every day we are planning
 for record breaking fall business"

OKLAHOMA ROAD RECORDS BROKEN
 BY HUDSON JAR

Before progress and badness put a protective tariff on scalps the early Oklahoman was always losing his hair to industrious Indian pelt -gatherers In those times "a days march to Enid,' was the measure by which men founded the sites of new settlements. because the fort was at Enid, and sol- diers could be summoned to repel In- dian assaults. Thus Pond Creek, at 2S miles; Hennessy at 22 miles, and Graber at q miles were built A fast messenger could get from either Of these settlements to Enid and return with troops within "A hours, according to a report received by Cal Messner, local Hudson agent.
 In connection with a recent celebra- tion at Enid Jake Strickler, a well known race driver, in a Hudson Super Six stock car gave an interesting dem- onstration of "oringing the soldiers from Enid" He did the 23 miles from Pond Creek in "A minutes, 22 miles from Mennessy in 25 minutes, 35 seconds; 21 miles from Graber to Enid in IT minutes and 30 seconds. These are all records.

RAILROAD CHIEF
 OWNS K|SSEL KAR

H. E. Wills, the man who settled the switchmen's strike in Chicago last Monday, July 30th, is an enthusiastic owner of a Ki-selKar, according to in- formation received by George Reuben, local KisselKar agent.
 In addition to his being the national legislature representative of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Mir. Wills duties as assistant grand chief engineer requires the use of an automobile the greater share of his time.
 While on visit last week to the Kissel factory, in speaking of his Kis- selKar MT. Wills said, While I have had my car only a year last March I have run it over 15,000 miles and in that time it has never given me par ticle of trouble. It's the most reliable car I have ever owned and reliability is one of the greatest assets an auto mobile can possess"

GOODYEAR TIRE
 COMPANY HELPS
 THE GOVERNMENT

Every Goodyearite for Uncle Sam is the slogan that has been adopted in the campaign just launched by the Goodyear Tire X Rubber company's factory school, in the interest of na- turalization of all alien workmen. The end sought is an All-American Good year.
 This company was one of the first to realize that to get our large alien population started on the road to cit izenship the advantages of becoming Americans must be shown then-that it was idle to hope that any consider ably body of them would of their own accord seek citizenship.
 So department of the factory school was established for these aliens that they might be educated to under stand our language and adopt our GUS toms and living conditions. Great em- phasis is placed on the desirability of being able to speak the English language. Many workmen who form ally question the advantage of speak ing our language, have advanced themselves materially by a mere knowledge of our tongue.
 In teaching English the direct method
  fore the men and their names pro- nounced. This enables the pupil 10 associate the English name with the object without thinking in the foreign tongue The results are surprising.
 Usually a speaking knowledge of the language is the forerunner of applica- tion for citizenship papers. Now that they have been brought face to face with war conditions, which many of them have known in other lands for many years, they have taken a just pride in declaring allegiance to their adopted country
 The whole Goodyear organization is behind the movement for more citi- zens, which involves a direct personal appeal to every alien workman, and it is expected that majority of Good years 5000 foreign born employees will soon be enjoying the privileges o1 American citizenship.

SIXTY CARLOADS
 0F 0LDS SHIPPED
 TO KANSAS C|TY

As a fitting climax to year of most remarkable expansion and growth, the Olds Motor Works celebrated the close of it's fiscal year by loading a solid train load of sixty Santa Fe automo- bile cars which moved out of Lansing Sunday morning, July 18th, for Kan sas City.
 Train loads are not new. to the au- tomobile business; but such an im- menSe shipment as sixty cars, many of which were double deck, has occurred but very few times among the many reinal kable accomplishments of the automobile industry. It is particularly worthy of note at this time when some predicted that war conditions would effect the motor car business.
 The shipment contained POT Oldsmo- piles of different models valued at $2S5, 76l. Transportation charges alone were over s15,000. The train was over half a mile long-in fact it was rot possible to photograph all of it as there was not a stretch of track with unobstructed view around Lans- ing that was long enough to show the train.
 General Manager Van Linden takes a pardonable pride in so practical a ueHloLSIdlIOu Ol OIuSInoDlie progress and accomplishments, as it tells in positive terms of the wonderful strides accomplished by the Olds Motor works during the year just closed. Moreover, it serves equally well as a standard by which to reckon on Olds- mobiles for the future since they are now building enough cars daily to load such train from much less than two days output.
 MT. Ferguson of the Ferguson Keeler company, local dealers, says this shipment is but a further evil dence of the popularity of the Olds- mobile.

A|RP[ANE WILL
 NOT USURP PLACE
 IF GASOLINE JAR

"The possibility of aircraft sup planting motor cars is interesting if remote" says John D. Mansfield, gen. eral sales manager of the Dort Motor Car company.
 How remote it is nobody ought to profess to know who looks back upon the marvellous evolution of the auto- mobile from 2 rich mans plaything to the greatest utility of modern times.
 "Who knows when the good fairy progress will again wave her magic wand to revolutionize transit. Remem- ber our fathers pooh poohed the idea of the horseless carriage so let us not say that the roadless carriage will not come"
