GOODYEAR COMPANY AIDS GOVERNMENT
 BY COOPERATION

Ever since the United States went on a war basis the factory school of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company, Akron. Ohio, has greatly strengthened it's facilities for extending cooperation to the men likely to be called for mili- tary service.
 First a course in military drill was established, tl-st all drafted men sub ject to call might in the meantime learn the rudiments of military drill, to help them escape some of the initi- atory knocks that raw recruits must go through at the training camps. Many letters have been received from men in the different camps, stating that their advancement was due in a large measure to their knowledge of military drill obtained in the Goodyear classes.
 It is quite certain that when our sol diers arrive at the trenches in France. they will find a knowledge of the French language a great asset. So &C., cordingly a class in French has been organized, for men who expect to see service in France.

RAILROADS CARRY
 RECORD TONNAGE
 LAST SIX MONTHS

Approximately complete statistics of freight movement during the first six months after the United States en- tered the war. that is, April to Sep temper inclusive, which have been com piled by the Bureau of Railway Eco- monies for the Railroads War Board disclose that in that period the railways not only handled far more traffic than Tn any earlier six months O ftheir his- tory, but also as much as in any entire year prior to 1907,7 says the Railway Age Gazette in it's current issue. Tt will be recalled that the years 1906 and 1907 marked the climax of q long period of rapid increase of railroad business which resulted in the longest and most acute congestion of traffic and shortage of cars ever known un- til recent months. It is therefore not without significance that in the first SIX months of 1917. after the country entered the war, the railways handled as much freight as they did in the en- tire year 1906.
 In 1917 the railways handled only 30 per cent more freight than in 19Oe while in 1917 they are handling approx- imately 100 per cent more than they did in 1906. These facts illustrate not only the enormous increase which has occurred in railway freight business during the past Il years, but also how swiftly the bulk of the increase has come within the last two years.
 The total number of tons of freight handled one mile in the six months April to September by Class I roads, handling about 95 per cent of the freight traffic of roads of that class was 204,702, ,S61,S65 This is an in- crease of IA per cent over the freight business handled by the same roads in the same months of 1916. The increase in the average tons hauled per car was from 24-S tons to 27 tons, or per cent and the increase in the average tons hauled per train was from 626 tons to SIS tons or 7.S per cent.
 Tt is Interesting, as indicating the increase in the efficiency of railroad operation which has occurred since 1906, to note that in that year the aver age freight Trainload was only 344 tons as compared with the record of 675 tons per train made in the months April to September If the railroads had moved the traffic of these six months Of 1917 in the same average tralnloads as they handled the freight of 1906, they would have had to render in these six months about 96 per cent more freight train service than they actually did render. They ran freight

trade concession of any kind, but government endorsed plan for utiliz- ing available federal reserve funds. It it a safeguard for the merchant in these troublesome times, and in adopt ing it, the Goodyear company is indi- eating it's desire to cooperate with the government in helping to work out the innumerable industrial problems that the war has precipitated.
 The plan, as applied to Goodyear business, will be used in connection with spring orders for tires, tubes, ac- cessories and repair materials, but not for other products of the company. The government is extremely anxious that the funds of the Federal Reserve bank be utilized to the greatest possible extent, for it's stimulating effect on the varied industries of the country, and to this end the Federal Reserve bank is urging the use of the trade accept ance throughout the land.
 The Goodyear factories are running to capacity, and amply able to supply its dealers with spring merchandise, utilizing the trade acceptance plan as recommended by the government.

trains 33O,OO0,OOo miles in that six months. On the basis of the trainload of 1906 they would have had to run them about 645,000,000 miles.
 ''The economy effected by this in crease of the average trainload and the resulting saving of freight train ser vice is the only thing which has enabled the railway system of the country to remain solvent in the face of almost stationary freight and passenger rates and enormously increasing expenses of all kinds. Of course, economies have been effected by other items than in- creases of the trainload, but it is by this means that the really big saving has been made"

My car is fitted with four inch tires which the manufacturer says should be inflated to eighty pounds pressure, but l nearly always run empty and imagine that the car will ride easier if I lower the pressure. Will this hurt the tires?-S. A.
 If the car runs empty you can safely lower the pressure five pounds or even more and still operate the tires as the maker intended. The eighty pounds is recommended for your car because it is assumed that load will be carried.
 Do you think there would be any money in a speciality shop where one-ton attachments are installed. Since the large concerns like Ford, Dodge and others have brought out regular trucks don't you think the attachment business is sort of shot to pieces s?-Mechanic.
 Not by any means is the converter business 'shot to pieces" There re- mains the thousands of secondhand cars for conversion. In fact is Is true that the converter is the logical thing for the secondhand car, reliev- ing the dealer of the used-car prob lem and also supplying cheap com mercial cars for small merchants.
 I find that if I throw out the clutch when I press the starter pedal the engine revolves faster and starts much easier. How do you account for this Jack E.
 It is quite easy to see that with the starting motor turning over the engine alone, there will be less ef- fort needed than if the clutch and gears in the transmission were drag ged around also. In addition there al- ways is the drag because the trans mission gears must ''plow'' through heavy oil or grease and in cold weather this requires a good deal Of extra current.

PAYMENT
 PLAN. TO SOLVE
 MONEY SHORTAGE

To assist in relieving, as far as possible, the tense business conditions which our unusual national state of affairs has brought about, the Good year Tire & Rubber company, Akron, Ohio, has inaugurated the use of a future payment plan of settlement for goods shipped. that the government is recommending to all big business con- cerns.
 This is the trade acceptance" plan which involves a time draft drawn by the seller on the purchaser, for pay ment payable on fixed future date. This form of future payment settle ment is not entirely new, but it has not had wide use in this country. In Europe and particularly in Great Bri- tain the plan has been in vogue for many years.
 The trade acceptance greatly en- larges the buying field of the mer- chant and enables him to carry a larger stock with a limited amount of capital, and makes for a quicker turnover of his money It is not a dating or a

 The first trip between here and the Washington navy yard, approximately 100 miles, was made in nine and three quarter hours, which was entirely satis- factory to the owners.
 While the special reason for install ing the truck was to make delivery of guns uncrated, there was, nevertheless, powerful argument in being able to insure a delivery every other day. and thus escape possible delays of railroad transportation, as well as extra hand ling.

as they can qualify as twenty-word receivers and senders. So a course in telegraphy has been established, in- cludfng both wire and wireless. Pre- vious to the war the Goodyear company had it's own wireless plant, now dis mantled and through it's operators, is able to give it's telegraph students a practical course in telegraphy
 While more than 1900 men have gone out from this company to enter the different branches of the service and the training camps. many more remain who are subject to call at any time.

 I have a peculiar trouble with my car. Every time I drive over a rough road at say fifteen miles per hour. ! there is a very loud knocy that comes from underneath I can stop the car and start over again driving slowly and it is all right. No matter how l try it, I cannot get the noise on smooth road.-J. D. L. ' There are two possible causes. First and perhaps the true cause is a loose torque arm. The arm is probably loose Tn front ana every time the rear axle turns because of d change in speed the torque arm hits against l its support. It also may be caused | by loose spring ends, so that the | springs move sideways too much. If l am not mistaken you are likely to get the same trouble on smooth road if you turn very quickly. Try it and l let me know.

Do you think this is good equipment for the bot:cm ring !? 1 am told that it does not allow enough oil to pass, thus causing SCOT ing and my first cylinder is scored now. CD I am having trouble with my engine, which I think is pumping oil on the first cylinder.

 l. The bottom or scraper ring is not essentiol. The scoring may be caused by lack of oil, but under such circumstances the other cylinder also would be affected since the oiling system is a plain splash.

 Your friend is quite rigat in saying that your car can be run without a battery, but it can not be started without one. The fact is that iB your car, after certain speed is reached the generator takes the whole load and also charges the battery. If the battery is disconnected entirely the car can be made to go only if it is lowed or rolled down hill in gear un- til the engine is turning over fast enough so that the generator supplies the current. After getting under way the engine must be kept runnig at about 250 revolutions or more, other wise it will stop.

WANTS GOVERNMENT
TO OWN RAILROADS
Resolution introduced by Beal
Passed by Nebraska State
y Senate.
DEBATE TWO HOURS
tFrom a Staff Correspondent

tFrom a Stan Correspondent -
Lincoln March 15.-(Special.)-
The Nebraska state senate cannot rur
itself successfully from fnancia
standpoint, but it thinks the govern,
ment could do better job with the
railroads and so this forenoon, in a
two-hour debate, it gave the aforesaid
government permission to take over
the carriers and run them according
to the latest prescribed ideas.
The discussion was brought on by
the calling up of resolution intro
duced by Senator Beal early in the
session, which called for government
ownership of railroads. Beal used to
be a populist and still has a large
number of those germs galavanting
around in his system. He spoke for
half an hour, bringing out all the nice
things the ownership people have
adopted as to why things should be
that way.
Senator Adams was not SOS ure that
the Custer county senator was con-
slstent. He called his attention to
the fact that he (BeaD had only a
few days ago voted against bill in
PRODUCED by Adams, requiring the rail-
roads to pay costs of action in cases
where they had/been sued for stock
killed by their roads.
Sandal of York would have the
government run the railroads but he
believes that we should have more
efficient and stronger government
than we have now. Sandal said that
the Brotherhood of Railway Engi-
neers was holding stop watch on
the supreme court Of the United
States.
Sawyer of Lancaster thought that
conditions we're getting better all the
time and this brought out a discus
sion of which party had abused the
pass privilege the worst before the
passage of the anti-pass law by the
republicans.
McAllister of Antelope thought that
the railroads were being unduly de-
nounced. He thought that corpora
tons were just as much entitled to
a square deal as the individual, but he
SAID that Just as soon as a corpora
ton began to make money, then some
one conceived the idea that the pub
lie should take hold of them and run
them.
why don't you provide your own
state with capitol building before
you go to buying railroads." Said
Moriarty of Douglas.
McMullen, while favoring the reso-
luton. was of the opinion that with
skilled labor the strike problem
would still be an important one.
IF the government is not capable
Of regulating the railroads how can
i even run them?" asked Mates of
Otoe.
Lanhers was afraid the proposition
would give the chance OF building UP |
