roads, employs nearly a million workers directly and billions in capital, cuts down distances lengthens time itself.
 Any agency that performs such de- sifable and valuable functions certainly is not a luxury" declares H. H. Hills, assistant general manager of the Pack ard Motor Car company. It is an es- sential in modern economic and social life Considered as a means of com munication, as an instrument Of coi1- merce, or as a factor in social c6ndi- tions it is more useful than any other single mechanism you caI name and stands out as the leading invention of the age.
 Tt is impossible to place a money value on the extent and number of the automobiles services to mankind. The range of the physicians capacity, to speak of a single example, has been trebled and quadrupled by the addition Of the motor car to his equipment. The sphere of the man Of afafirs, in busi- ness, in statecraft, in the industrial sciences. has been enlarged so that thanks to this swift, persoral means of transportation his energies are spread over many times what he could attend to less than a quarter century ago. The result in the case of the physician is life saving: in the case of the business man, money making, asset building. How much richer America is in both because of the automobile, no one dare estimate.
 Spiritually. America, considered as one big community, has profited just as much. The automobile takes us out in the open. gives us a chance at fresh air, the fields and flowers, the scenery of mountain country lakeland and prairie. While it refreshes us physi- cally, it opens new vistas to minds otherwise cramped in the narrow chan nels of routine life. The very law of the road which has been developed in the use of the automobile has taught us all how to be social minded much more thoroughly than the most learned sOciologists ever could have taught us from their books.
 The automobile has brought us good roads, efficiency in industry, better wages and better factory conditions and a higher general standard of both tabor and pleasure than the world knew in all the centuries before it's invention It is our greatest modern convenience It is directly responsible for a big share of Americas happiness, prosperity broad -mindedness and general alert ness"
 As to the proportions of the industry which the automobile has built up for America, Dr. Hills drew on figures which are of record in the present con gress. One million five hundred thou sand automobiles were manufactured in 1916, valued at $S10,000000. There are 450 manufacturers of motor ve- hicleS and S25 manufacturers of parts and accessories. Of wage eafners in this and allied industries there are S55,00O, and it is a conservative esti- mate that 2,000,000 men, women ano chi dren in America are dependent CT this industry. The automobile has in creased the value of the United States as improved real estate by splendid plants and sales and service establish ments the country over
 Moreover, with each succeeding i'm provement of the automobile engine we are achieving more economical opera

HOWARD TELLS
 RIGHT ME EIHOD
 ID PUT IN TU6EE

C. H Howard, local manager Good rich Rubber company, who has just arrived from Los Angeles, has some expert advice to offer motorists. He finds that drivers of experience, often follow wrong practice in the simple matter of putting a tube in.
 The right method is based on the best usage of the leading racing drivers with the logical assumption that they are the best qualified to de- eide
 In this regard one of the first things to do when preparing to put in tube Is to give the bridge nut at the base of the valve stem above the oblong metal plate on the tube a tightening twist with a pair of pliers. The use Of pliers is advised as a wrench is too powerful for the purpose and liable tc cut the valve through the rubber.
 It is surprising how often slow leak is due to the loose fit of the tube around the valve. When the tube is entirely in the casing, jar the tire a few times to seat it. Only after the tire is mounted and fully inflated, in fact
  inflated is the time to fasten securely the rim nut which works around the valve stem above the rim. With this nut firmly frightened down against the rim, the surplus pressure may be al lowed to escape and the tire brought to normal contour for the load carried The caliper gauge is the best means of measuring for load on the tire. The excess of air pressure acts as a press that firmly seats the metal bridge on the tube into the valve , cavity on the inside of the tire. The force eXerted on the approximately four inches of metal surface at so pounds pressure is thus 320 pounds, and this prevents pinching and creep ing on the part of the tube.

|NARMONNAKES SPLENDID SHOW
 IN ARMY TEST

An interesting account of the test of the Marmon car has been received by the ONelll Auto company. The test was made by army officers. The army officers making the test of Fort How ara, about 20 miles south of Baltimore, were astonished by the performance of the Marmon when a demonstration was held at the fort early in June under the direction of Walter Scott, Marmon dealer in Baltimore. Mr Muir, a Mar mon salesman, who formerly was an offlcer in the coast artillery and who was well acquainted with the officers stationed at Fort Howard, made ar engagements with Colonel Straub, the fort commander, for the demonstration, at 1l:15 in the morning, and Colonel Straub advised him to allow an hour for the trip to the fort.
 The morning the drive was made Colonel Straub and some other officers rode out from the Marmon salesroom with Mir. Muir in just thirty-five min utes, which was only the beginning of a series of favorable impressions of the Marmon obtained by the officers. Three of the officers who own good automo
 piles pointed out d stretch of rough road approaching the fort which they said they never attempted to drive in their own machine at more than fifteen miles an hour Each of these three officers took the Marmon over the same road at thirty five mile clip, and the impression Marmon riding qualities made on them was more emphasized when MT. Muir drove along the road at A miles an hour, and the Marmon held steadily in spite of the rough going.

 The gypsy top because of it's pecu- liar construction affords an unusual protection in the summer time from the hot sun, dust, wind and rain. Anti dust advantages of the gypsy top, like the old Victoria, are among it's strong est features.
 Dust is usually drawn by suction un- der the folded down top of the open touring car. thereby forming whirl- pool of sand and dirt immediately over and within the tonneau. With this new type of top this cloud of dust is diverted 'y the permanently inclosed back of the body and the curved roof overhead.

STUDEBAKERS
 CHANCE C0LORS BUT NUT MODELS

Mere man, who formerly scorned women folk for insisting upon "ex- elusive" hats and gowns, have now entered that class as regards motor cars and will no longer chide their wives about demanding exclusiveness.
 A strong evidence of this new mas ouline tendency is shown by the great demand for special jobs received by the Studebaker corporations custom made body department. Some of the most striking examples of fine color work to be seen on the famous drives of this country are the product of Studebaker's custom made shops.
 Guided in thelr judgment by these increasing numbers of motorists who demand individuality in their motor cars, Studebaker announces that henceforth the Series IS touring cars, both four and six, may be had in a choice of four distinctive colors.
 Studebaker has been famous for nearly three generations for it's su- perb paint and varnish work. The ex- perience Sai.a31 during these many years in the finishing of hundreds of thousands of fine carriages and mo- tor cars makes Studebaker eminently qualified to offer the utmost in special finish work. Ms
 The colors selected for the pur- chaser's option when he buys a new series IS Studebaker car are battle ship gray, purple lake, clover green and auto blue. All of these shades have been carefully developed to a point of rare beauty and are hand ap- piled to the Studebaker body after the buffing and sand blast smoothing pro- | thr0lIch oh before it is finished.
 In addition to this opportunity to se- cure ones own ideas of what a car of class and distinction should be, Stude- baker has further 'exclusivized" the Series IS car.
 The distinctive Victoria top adapted by motor car manufac cturers from the l rare, old equipages of other days has been further improved and modern 1zed by Studebaker. As a result the
 gypsy top may be had by purchasers of series IS cars as special equipment This new gypsy top is of the semi permanent type. It has all the beauty and grace of the old Victoria. with the l front part extended to cover entire body of car to windshield Two oval windows give clear view of the road in the rear

tion, making better use of fuel and building cars that last longer" said Mr. Hills. "OWners, realizing more acutely the value of their automobiles are giv- ing them better treatment Thus every phase of automobile making and using is refuting the mista-,en notion that the motor car is a luxury
 The man who uses an automobile every day probably spends very little time reflecting on these things Yet [ am sure he will appreciate the full usefulness-and the basic necessity-of the motor car in modern life the mo- ment he asks himself this question: What would l do without my car?'
