Advantages Of, Cord Tires
Compiled By Firestone Co.

Cord tires effect a saving of at
least twelve per cent in power, ac-
cording to data compiled by engin-
eers of the Firestone Tire & Rub
Der Co. Practical tests again and
again have proved the superiority
of cord tires as to power saving
as we'll as long mileage, but until
Firestone engineers devised an ac-
curate laboratory test. the exact saw
ing in power was not known.
The Firestone tests were made
under varying conditions and loads
and were checked against error
several times before they were ac-
cepted as final. In most every case
the cord tire consumed only SO per
cent as much power as the fabric.
Translated into popular terms"
says A. G. Partridge, General Sales
Manager of the Firestone Company,
this conservation of power means
increased speed in racing cars and
a saving of gasoline in the ordinary
passenger car. In practical tests
the value of cord tires to the auto
racer has been shown many times.
Eight worlds records already have
been shattered on Firestone Super
Cords within the present racing sea-
son.
In the scientific analysis of the
cord tests the engineers pointed out
that the power lost in the fabric
tires is consumed by the greater
resistance to fleXing and is trans
formed into heat. The fabric tire
supports much of the weight of the
car instead of acting merely as a
resistance to the air pressure with
in, while the cord tire makes the
air column do the work" Hence
the cord tire is able to deliver more
of the power received from the mo-
tor to the road.

There's a Reason
For Buying a Car Now

"The production OF automobiles
will be much less the last six mouths
of 1917 than It was the first six
months of this year." said L. ]. OIL
lier, vice-president of Studebaker
Company. Furthermore, present
indications are that the production
of automobiles for the first six
months of 1918 will be still further
curtailed. The demands of the gov
ernment on factories, on material
and on labor is so great that 1t must
encroach upon the automobile in
dustry and upon every other manu-
featuring industry excepting those
which produce for the government.
Prospective purchasers may be
confronted with an automobile short
age If they wait until spring to buy
a new car. Increased prices are in
evitable.
THE natural demand for automo-
biles like the natural demand for
every other commodity will exceed
the possibilities of production. This
means that the supply will be less
than the demand and the price very
much higher than it is now. Not
only do L anticipate shortage of
men, m aterial and manufacturing
space for the production of automo-
biles, but 1 expect a shortage of ma
chinery which is necessary to make
motorcars.
TT is a well-known fact that the
machinery manufacturers and the
makers of manufacturing tools of all
kinds are requisitioned to the limit
to supply machinery and tools for
the government
The low price of automobiles, you
know, is contingent not only upon
the low cost of material, labor and
machinery, but it is even more con-
tingent upon the possibility of pro-
ducing automobiles in huge volume.
THE Studebaker Corporation is
prepared and equipped to produce as
many cars in its class as any other
manufacturer in the United States,
and undoubtedly a great many more.
l know that if any maker will be able
to fill the demand at reasonable
prices and with high quality goods 1t
will be Studebaker. But even Stu
debaker is subjected to the war con-
ditions under which this country
exists at present, and If Studebaker
is forced to curtail production to a
half or a quarter as many cars as the
capacity of it's factories makes pos
sible it cannot hope to offer its pro-
duction for sale at quantity prices.
Nobody knows what the price of
cars will be in the spring or next
summer. Were it not for the fact
that the Series Is Studebaker cars
are being made from materials pur-
chased at before-th -the-war prices they
would sell at very huch higher prices
present labor and material prices
would probably force retail prices
from 25 per cent. to 33 1-3 per cent.
higher.
I'm the spring or next summer ]
would not be at all surprised to find
that the Studebaker Six which we
sell to-day for. s1,3S5 brand new
bringing then perhaps more in actual
money than it does now.
Quick action is absolutely neces-
sary if you are going to have new
car for next spring at the price an
average person can afford. The man
who buys now is certainly making a
gilt-edged investment"

Parcel Post on
Enlarged Scope

Residents of every large city, and
the villages and farming communities
ABOUT them, should be Interested in
the passage of a bill introduced in
congress by Representative Moon,
authorizing experiments by the Post
master General in the operation of
motor truck routes in the vicinity of
large cities" says H. NJ. Lee, presi-
dent and general manager of the Du-
plex Truck Company. of Lansing,
Mich.
In the view of the Postmaster
Generals department, the operation
OF these motor truck routes, as con-
templated by the bill, would add 100
per cent. to the value of the parcel
post service in the vicinity of the
cities where established.
II understand that the purpose of
the bill is to make use of the bene-
fits of the millions of dollars which
have been expended in the construc-
tion of good roads and in the devel-
opment of motor vehicles. 1t is
planned to open up great stretches of
the country within easy motor dis
tance from large cities and to facili-
tate the delivery of food products.
This bill should have the hearty
endorsement of farmers and city res
idents alike, because it will result in
opening up great market FOR the
farmers food products and lowering
the prices to the city residents.
From my experience with cross
country motor truck delivery service,
l am of the opinion that the Post
master Generals plan will work out
successfully.
"Of course, the motor trucks must
be dependable-must give reliable
service-just the same as railroad
trains. I know that such service is
being given to-day by many operators
of Duplex trucks-men who have
established motor truck overland
freight delivery service and are op-
Grating their trucks every day
throughout the year.
IF such overland delivery service
can be conducted successfully by in
dividuals, it seems certain that the
Government could operate motor
truck routes profltably.
Bringing of the producer and con-
sumer together is necessary to reduce
the cost. of living, and the Govern
ment parcel post can do much to elm
mate the middleman and the result
ing expense. The parcel post system
has been of tremendous benefit to the
whole country and the Postmaster
Generals plan to enlarge the scope
of this great work should have the
hearty encouragement and endorse
ment of every American citizen"

RADIATOR FANA
COOLING FACTOR
Drives Air Back Over Motor;
Not Out Through
Radiator

Fresh air plays g part in reducing
the high temperatures of hydro
carbon combustion that there is q
common temptation to underesti-
mate. In truth it is a factor of near
ly equal Importance to water in
keeping the termal condition of the
motor at the point of greatest effici-
ency. says the latest technical bull
letin issued by the Haynes Automo-
bilo Company.&
The temperature of an automob bila
cylinder at the time of explosion is
approximately 5000 degrees, and the
heat of the exterior metal coverings
of the water manifold is sometimes
well coward the boiling point. A
stoppage of air cooling, particularly
i'll travelling through desert regions,
whero the atmospheric temperature
Is noticeably high, means immediate
Expansion of the metallic parts to
the extent of stuck pistons or scorad
cylinders,
The hood of practically every mo-
torcar is marked by a row of
louvres, or Sits, cut along the lower
edge of the bonnet; in the Haynes
Light Six" and Light Twelve" the
humber is seventeen. The presence
of these air passages eliminates the
back pressure of warmed air on the
fan and guarantees a stream or cool
air over the heated water manifolds.
Contrary to the idea many motor
lists have, the radiator fan, does not
drive air through the meshes OF the
radiator. Instead the fresh air that
has already penetrated the interstices
of the radiator core is impelled back
over the heated manifolds of the
motor.
The revolutions of the fan tend TO
create a partial vacuum In the space
between the fan and the radiator
when the motor is running and the
car standing still, the unwarmed AR
continually flows through the radi-
ator apertures to equalize atmos-
pheric pressure. If the motorcar Is
moving only at low speed the I'M
pact of air against the radiator sur
face is sufficient to greatly increase
tne amount of unwarmed air that
reaches the motor and with its load
of wasted heat units finds its way out
Through the louvres.
