WANT STANDARD TIRES
FOR USE OF ARMY TRUCKS
Subject Ii Discussed by Society Of Au-
tomobiIe Engineers at Its
Annual Meeting.

There has been considerable discus
sion in Washington concerning the
merits of demountable tires VS.. press
ed-on tires for use on army trucks
Up to the present time, the United
States Army has used the demount-
able type as a standard. Officers who
have been to the front. however, are
apparently all lined up In favor of the
pressed-on type, and there seems to
be possibility that the pressed on
type Will finally GUST the demountable.
On this subject, w. Owen Thomas,
OF Detroit. who was formerly leu
tenant colonel in charge of Canadian
Transport, wrote the following in his
paper, entitled Lessons on tho War
in Truck Design" which was read he

Nearly every make Of car,
except the Hudson, has lately
increased in price.
Cars that sold at $1,000 and
$1400 now cost about as
much as a Super-SiX. Since
January, 81 makers Of auto
mobiles have announced
price increases amounting to
$100 to $500.
The necessity of buying
materials on to-day's market
has forced these increases.
Steel costs five times as
much as it did at the begin
ming Of the war. Cotton,
rubber-all items that enter
into the manufacture Of an
automobile-now cost more
than ever before.
Hudsons will cost more
when the present stock of
materials, bought last year
at lower prices, is exhausted.

Lowering Cost OF Hnrd Road Grading.
A contractor on n PENNSYLVANIA road
has completed his work at a lower cost
than was attained on other sections OF

price or labor and Its scarcity in that
section. he used a steam shovel in all
cuts, low-strength dynamite to loosen
the material and speed up the work OF
the shovel. and automatic dump wagons
to remove the earth and shale as It
was excavated. The outfall drainage
bitches were blasted out with dyna-
mite. thereby reducing the cost Of ex-

Over so makes have already advanced in price.
HudsOnS, too, must cost more.

There is no way Of avoiding
it. The price advantage that
other cars once held no
longer exists.
Hudson has been the most
wanted car, regardless Of
price. 1t will be more popu-
lar than ever now that
cheaper cars have advanced

ABANDONMENT OF COLLEGE
 SPORTS NOT ADVISABLE

Washington, May 22-Wholesale abandonment of college and schoo' athletic sports during the war is not advisable. President Wilson believes rot because Of their value to divert the American people, but because they contribute 10 national defense.
 In letter to Lawrence Perry Of the New York Evening Post made public today the president said;
 q would be sincere sorry to see the men and boys in our colleges and schools give up athletic sports and tope most sincerely that the normal course Of college sports will be con tinued as far as possible, not only 10 afford a diversion 10 the American people in days 10 come when We shall no doubt have our share of mental de pressiOn, but as real contribution to the ntional defense, for our young men must be made physically fl in order that later they may take the place of those who are now of military age and exhibit the yigor and alertness which We are proud 10 believe 10 be characteristic of our young men"
