WILLIS WILL HEAD
AIRPLANE PLANT

Announcement is made by Presi-
dent John n. WHY'S that, in keeping
with the patriotic fervor sweeping
over the country, he is prepared to
edo his bit" for the government by
increasing his facilities to construct
aeroplane motors as fast as the Uni
ted States and allied armies can find
use for them.
This work will be separate from
his automobile industry, which will
be taken care of as fully as in the
past.
Mr.. WHY'S is now a director # the
Curtiss Aeroplane Company. Accord
ing to reports, he may soon become
the head of this company.
In addition to devoting his time
and attention to the development q
quantity production of aeroplanes,
he intends to enlarge his present fac
tories in Toledo and Elmira for the
purpose of turning out the number
of airplane motors required.
The air board at Washington, an
ticipates the necessity of this country
building a very large fleet of aero
planes" said Mr.. WHY'S in a recent
interview.
THE Wnlys-Overland Company has
been working on the manufacture Of
aeroplane motors for nearly a year.
Two of our engineers were recently in
England studying their method Of
manufacture, so that we are familiar
with the latest English and French
practices in the construction of
motors for flying machines.
eve have a surplus quantity of ma
chinerv necessary for use in motor
manufacture, so that we are in good
shape to take care of governmental
requirements in connection with the
Curtiss company.
THE development of aeroplane
work by tn Willys-Overland Company
will be separate and in addition to
it's automobile business and will not
interfere with it in any way"

DON'T LET TIRES
DOWN IN THE HEAT

There seems to be a theory ram
pant" said E. H. Fitch, sales man
ager of the Diamond Rubber Com
pany, Inc, that in hot weather the
air in a tire expands so much that
IN order to avoid the dangers of over
imitation, some air should be let out
and the pressure reduced at the be-
ginning of days run.
Tire men all over the country are
trying to teach the fallacy of this
theory. Tires should be pumped up
just as hard in the summer time as
IN winter. The reasons are simple
and easily explained.
Diamond factory test cars made
exhaustive test cars have made ex-
haustive experiments to determine
the proper amount of imitation for
tires at all seasons of the year, They
found that even on the hottest sum
mer days, when a speed of thirty to
forty miles an hour was maintained
for several hours, that the pressure
in tire increased only 2 per cent.
This is an extreme condition, prob
ably seldom duplicated by any motor
ist in the ordinary use of his car.
Ihls extra per cent pressure is so
small that it is entirely negligible.
"On the other hand, if tires are
slightly Debated, anticipating an in
crease in pressure, they are liable to
be seriously injured. Hot sun and
hot pavements then have another
party to the conspiracy to des;roy
them. The flexing of the tire-the
constant bending back and forth
produces internal friction, which
heats up a tire to the point where he
rubber gets soft. A IRE in this con-
dition invites tread separation, injury
from stone bruises, and consequent
blowouts.
MY advice, which, think, coin
cides with the advice of every other
experienced tire man. is; Keep your
tires pumped up hard all summer.
Don't give them a chance to let
down."

ments," said Mr.. Norton. at is GER
tain that $4,000 trucks will be neces-
sary for the first big American ex-
peditionary force. The supplying of
these trucks to the government will
be confined to those manufacturers
whose construction and design con-
form to government specifications
and these manufacturers will be
guaranteed prompt delivery of parts
and raw materials by the war depart
ment.
at is not impossible that older men
and possibly women may be needed
to replace experienced truck drivers
who will be needed for government
service in the truck manufacturers
sales organizations older statesmen
will be needed to take the place of
the younger men who enter the gov
eminent service. All of these condi-
tons tend to prove that the motor
truck business is destined for a gen
erous expansion rather than a de-
preston and my advice to prospective
purchasers of trucks is to buy them
now while they are available"

American Engineer Finds
No Fault With Russians

Toxic, July 13.-E. J. Harrison of
Toxic, who accompanied the Amer
lean railroad commission to Vladiv-
ostok as assistant secretary and who
has returned to Japan, says that the
reports of disorders at Vladivostok
were greatly exaggerated. if rot, in
deed, entire Misrepresentation He
found the city absolutely tranquil.
In place of the former police, the
city is in the hands of the new mill
tia, largely recruited from the mill
tary. The most disquieting symptom
from military standpoint was the
terrible congestion of freight of all
kinds. Cases of machinery lay about
all over the place in utter abandon
ment, exposed to the elements, and
assuredly in danger of damage and de
terioration. Mountains of shells,
plantations of cotton, army supplies
of every imaginable description bore
mute witness, he said, to the incom-
petence of the old regime.
Mr.. Harrison heard stories of oc-
casional high-handed action on the
part of the local garrison. He was
told that in some cases officers oc-
cupying government quarters had
been turned out by the soldiers or
at least compelled to limit themselves
space, the balance being taken over

by the men. The officers. on tie

the former salute, seemed to wear 4
somewhat subdued air.
A naval lieutenant whom he met
at dinner spoke very bitterly and
pessimistically of the new conditions
as affecting the army officers. and
declared that he and many others
were only awaiting the conclusion of
the war in order to quit the service
for good.
Mr.. Harrison went on: The atti-
tude reflected by the Russian leu
tenant just quoted is characteristics
of a certain class Of Russian who
can see nothing but ruin and disaster
confronting his country. Persons Of
this type are firmly convinced that,
sooner or later. Japan will take pos
session of NladivOstok and probably
the whole Amur province And Of
course they credit the recent rumor
that Japan is preparing to coerce and
discipline Russia in case the latter
weakens beyond a certain point or
should there arise the spectre of a
separate peace. Wild yarns haye been
circulated about the concentration II
the Japanese troops at Mukdcn."

EXPERT ADVISES To
BUY TRUCKS EARLY

"order your motor trucks early
was the keynote of an address deliv-
cred by S. V. Norton, truck tire sales
manager, of the B. F. Goodrich Rub
Der Company to the truck owners con-
ference held in Chicago last week.
After showing how great the for
eign demand for American motor
trucks had added a tremendous i'm
petus to the industry in the United
States during the past three years he
emphasized the fact that our own
governments entry into the war
would create corresponding demand
for trucks and drivers.
Motor trucks are already compel
ing successfully with railroads in a
great many instances so that the de-
mand for them will not be confined
entirely to our government require

KEEP THE CAR CLEAN.

It is a sound method of procedure
never to allow dust and dirt to collect
in the top, in the interior, on the
floor, in the upholstery, or upon any
part of the skeleton of the car, says
DIR. Leonard Keene Hirschberg, writ
ing in the current issue of American
Motorist. If the owner will remember
that each spot of dust or dirt in
lures the car and shortens its career;
if he will understand that one loose
bolt. made so by grit and dirt, caused
the collapse of the Quebec bridge, bet
ter personal attention will be given
bv him to the near goodness of clean
illness.

BUICK AGENTS
MAKE Bic SALES

At a recent meeting of the branch
managers and distributors of the
Buick Motor Company, at Flint,
Mich, it was declared that the year
closing July has been the most sue
cessful and prosperous in Buick his
tory. An official of the company
stated at the meeting that $4,000
Buick cars had been sold, which is
over $4,000 more than have been sold
during any previous year. "And there
is no reason to believe" he said, that
the coming year will not be even
greater"
