OLD MACHINES GOOD
 FOR FARM WORK

A contest concluded last week under the auspices of leading agricuturalists and members of the food production com mittee of the Massachusetts council of ma tional defense will solve, in the opin- ion of the judges, the used car problem by making old machines available for farm use. This back to the farm move ment will bring thousands of old auto mobiles to a useful old age and increas se the productivity of land throughout the nation.
 For great many years automobiles have. been junk, while there were still considerable mechanical possibilities re- maining in them. Simply because car lacked appearance was sufficient req son to turn it over to the junk man and the result was that the price of used cars remained comparatively high and an enormous field of future service such as the farms of the country afford, re- mained closed to them. The solution of the problem has finally been made by Charles H. Metz, who has invented a convertible tractor that may be attached to any old car and made to do the work of six horses.

 he welcomed them as members of the great brotherhood of man, and also wished them a prompt restora tion oc their devastated nation. Baron Moncheur replied to Chief Bacon Rind through the interpreter, and all of the members of the mission were introduced and shook hands with him and other tribesmen.
 The mission left tonight for Little Rock, Ark, where they will spend tomor- row Baron Moncheur has special sen timental interest in his visit to Arkansas, it being the former home of his wife, daughter of Gen. Powell Clayton, once United States senator from Arkansas.

ROYAL CORD TIRES IN
 ACCELERATION TESTS

Under the auspices of the American Automobile association, several phenon- enal acceleration tests were recently made on the concourse near One Hundred and seventy-second street, New York city. by Chalmers car. equipped with United States Royal Cord tires. The car va accelerated from a standing start to l2.2 miles an hour in 9 feet. the fastest time being 1.2 seconds. In 100 feet or 4f seconds, the velocity of the car was l65 miles an hour.
 Tn the opinion of the drivers and wit nesses the Royal Cords were an inpor- tant factor in this unusual performance. Royal Cords were selected because they have essential requisites for acceleration tests. namely, that a tire will slip a little as possible and will not impede progress when the car 1t under way" says George Leeming. local manager.

GOODYEAR SERVICE
 BULLETINS ON TIRES
Eleven Pamphlets Furnish Valuable Aids to Motor ists That Mean Big
 Savings

To aid motorists in cutting down tire

 Goodyear Tire and Rubber company,
 Akron, O., announces the publication of
 an entirely new and complete set of tire
 service bulletins, in which are set forth
 the various ways of obtaining more sat

 A noticeable departure from a custom which has too largely prevailed in litera-
 ture advancing tire information, of emu
 merating an array of "don'ts" for the
 tire user, is the positive viewpoint enn- ployed. The new Goodyear bulletins. in
 stead of outlining the usual "dont's', tell
 the motorist just what to do to get real tire service. Valuable hints telling how to add hundreds and even thou sands of miles to the life of tires are the keynotes throughout the series. Naturally the more common tire ills are treated-individuall and specifically with full descriptions of just why and how they occur. More emphasis, how is more practical, the means of preven- tion
 The new series of bulletins reflects a knowledge of tires and tire conditions
 gained only through years of experience in the tire business Obviously, the in format ton imparted cannot help rendering assistance of great value to motorists. As a convenience to automobile owners, who wished to obtain big mileage from their tires, all Goodyear service stations have been supplied with these bulletins for free distribution. They will also be mailed free of charge from the main office in Akron, O., upon request. The bulletins come in a series of Il and bear the following captions; How to Increase Tires Mileage" Proper Infla- ton Pays" What to Do for Tread Cuts" How to Use Chains, How to
