MOTOR VEHICLES
 PRESSED INTO USE

The motor car and the motor truck are important factors in the in- creased efficiency of the railroads in war time, according to George R. Bury, assistant general sales mana ger of the Packard Motor Car con- pany They are relieving the rail- roads, MT. Bury points out, of an appreciable burden of short haul traffic, both freight and passenger, according to a letter received by McArthur Brothers. local Packard dis tributors.
 The latest figures authorized by Fairfax Harrison, chairman of the Railroads War Board, indicate an increased railroad efficiency of 16.1 per cent said MT. Bury "En- larged carrying capacity, more gen. eral use of the waterways, and other efforts play their part in this re- suit. And so do the motor cars and trucks
 Automobiles are carrying thou sands of passengers, who would otherwise have to use the railroads, centers, between small cities and towns near to each other The growth of automobile traffic, es- pecially in the rural districts has frightened the local passenger traffic of the railroads, and this relief has enabled the railroads to cut down the number of their trains and devote their motive power to the long freight hauls.

HARMON PROVES GOOD GAR FUR
 LO|VG JOURNEYS

When the automobile first became
 generally used, a tour of 100 miles and
 even less, was considered a long trip
 said M. 0. O'Neill, sales manager of
 the O'Nein Auto company, agents for
 the Marmon 34. At present a trans
 continental trip is often included in
 the summers vacation. This has been
 made possible by the remarkable ad
 vance in automobile engineering.
 At the same time, car owners are
 demanding maximum comfort both in
 ease of driving and absence of annoy
 ance from mechanical details, while touring. Many long trips are being un-
 dertaken for business purposes, and in addition to the other demands, the mo- torist insists upon economy of opera tion That the Marmon 34 lives up to all of these requirements has been proved by Marmon owners everywhere as indicated in their letters to the fac tory. This car, due to perfect balance and light weight, insures delightful riding ease and splendid road adher- ence. so necessary for continuous driv- ing. But to this balance, tires wear uniformly, averaging two to three thousand miles more than on any other comparable car, and owners have found that gallon of gasoline carries the /; Marmon much farther than it will like cars.
 The Marmon 34's ability to travel country highways in boulevard luxury

WOMEN DRIVERS
 MAKE \ RECORD

Women are the most careful drlVers of automobiles That fact was falrly well demonstrated in competitive runs in twenty eight states, according to word received by Babbitt- Poison com pany, local Maxwell distributors.
 In the recent big Liberty bond con test of the Maxwell Motor Sales cor poration of Detroit women in all parts of the nation obtained mileage that puts them among the best drivers. Their average mileage on Q gallon Of gasoline was great showing for the car-that it is easily handled.
 The average mileage of the women taking part was 29.0S miles.
 The average mileage of all contest ants was 29.04 miles.
 Arizona stands first in the mileage list. The general average for all con- testants was 391 miles, Women made the most mileage in Kentucky. The average for women contestants in Kentucky was 422 miles, In the man. moth contest the women of Georgia got the lowest average, 20.1 miles.
 It was in this state that the biggest mileage was made by any of the par ticipants. A man drove his car 51.9 miles.
 In a majority of the. states having women owners driving cars in the one gallon runs their average mileage was well above 25 miles.
 The average mileage of the women drivers in the states in which they participated in the famous gasoline economy runs weres

FISK RUBBER COMP ANY HAS
 BALL SQUAD

The Fisk Red Tops, baseball team of big league caliber, representing .he Fisk Rubber company of Chicopec Falls, Mass, will soon put in an ap- pearance on the middle western dia- monds against the best and fastest teams of that section, according to in formation received by W. R. Johnson local agent for the Fisk company.
 The Red Tops are hot after nati~na, honors, having already clinched their claim to the title of semipro cham pions of New England Their sue cess this season has been marked and among their victims can be found all of the best teams in the section, in- cluding Eastern league teams. Noth- ing like the trip planned by the FISK team has ever been attempted by a team other than college or profes- sional, and in these circles, no such % sweeping program of hard games has ever been attempted.
 Such teams as the White Autos of Cleveland, the Rail Lights of Toledo, the Goodyear and Goodrich Rubber company teams of Akron and the Shaw Taxi teams of Chicago will be met. The Red Tops conscious of their strength and power, are confident of beating all their opponents and thus clinching the title of worlds semipro champions.
 This team has been playing together for practically the entire season, every member being a bona fide employe of the Fisk Rubber company. Listed among the members of the team are the fastest college players in the east and many well known ball players who have retired from the profes- sional game for other reasons than old age and incapability Several of the latter have been up with the big show and all the college players are con- sidered potential big league material.
 The team is unquestionably the fastest ever put together in New Eng land in amateur and semipro circles and is considered, and justly so, as easily capable of giving the best of the big league teams a run for it's money. In fact, one of the easiest victims of the Red Tops this season was the Colonials of New Haven, a team which last year held the Red Sox to a to 3 tie two days after the Red Sox won the worlds title from Brooklyn. The trip will start August IS at Akron and will end at the same place more than a week later, two games being played in that city.
 The venture of the Red Tops is at tracting considerable attention among baseball men from coast to coast, in that it will give a gGod line on the class of baseball that is being played by semipro teams in the east and the middle west and a chance to compare the style of baseball and the eompara- tive strength of the best teams2iTrs the two sections.

July, Edward Hungerford writes that lat Q great hotel in the White Noun tains, 90 per cent of the patrons used to come by train, six or seven years ago, and the remainder toured through A record kept last year showed that 95 per cent of the guests arrived in their motor cars; the re- maining five per cent used the rail- roads. MT. Hungerford says:
 Ut is in New England that the largest progress has been made in removing trains as a war measure. And it is in New England with it's superbly developed system of motor roads and motor-inns that the auto mobile has made the greatest heao way The Railroads have done little or nothing to offset the competition They have said that the passenger traffic was by far the least profit able-if not an absolutely unprofit- able-feature of their business. The war situation has enabled them to remove the least profitable of the passenger trains, and without pub 1 lie clamor.''

TIRES LARGEST
 EXPENSE FACTOR
 TO AUTO OWNER

Usually the largest item of ex- pense to the car owner, outside of gasoline, is tires comments D. w. Sanford, local branch manager, the Goodyear Tire X Rubber company This is war time, and people are be- ing exhorted about tho elimination of waste and the prevention of extraVa- gance on every side.
 We are not for economy that goes to the extent of scrimping but We do believe we have timely war messaee e on the conservation of tires. Anything that will give tire longer life, assist tire to give more mileage reduce costs per mile, will keep real, jingling dollars in the motorists pocket and will put off the day when the purchase of a new tire would otherwise be nec- essary.
 Tire accessories make an ideal and profitable investment at any time, out right nov they are especially timely economical and useful. For instance the insertion of an inside tire pro- tector in a partly worn casing often enables the tire to give thousands of more miles of service. Under sGcn circumsta"ocS cVer= will readily admit that the smaii investment in- volved has been mighty profitable.
 Consider the tPe saver kit, which is obtainable from Goodyear service stations and is just what the name describes One might naturally think that tire companies would want tires used up as rapidly as possible so that more could lu'ckly be sold. We, at least believe that every user of a Goodyear tire is entitled to all the milest built into that tire at the fac tory. That is the reason for our al gu- ments on service and trouble preven- tion and for the existence of the tire saver kit
