CARE OF CASING WILL
DOUBLE TIRES LIFE
Cuts Grow Rapidly Aggra.
waited by Dirt; Sense Should
Be Used in Driving.

One of the most important things
for the motorlst to know is the
proper care of tire castings.
In the opinion of A. O. Steiner, Is
East Fifth street, Tulsa Okla, local
distributors for Racine Country
Road Tires, proper care of the cas-
ing will practically double the mile
age.
First and foremost in the motor
lists book of commandments Mr..
Cooper explains, "is drive carefully.
Avoid sharp stones. In crossing car
tracks, go slowly and never under
any circumstances drive in the tracks.
Street car rails were laid for street
cars-not for automobiles. If n
small cut appears in your casing,
have it repaired at once. This will
add greatly to the mileage and in
jury to the casing is minimized If a
repair is made promptly.
when cut Is left unclosed, dirt
forces its way into the fabric, water
enters and other destructive elements
get in which materially shorten the
life of the tire. Eventually the cut
results in a blowout.
"Be careful to see that your
brakes are properly adjusted. Thou
sands of tires are literally torn to
pieces by improper brake adjust
ments.
"In applying the brakes do it
slowly. A quick stop grinds the cas-
ing. Pick up speed gradually for a
quick pickup often tears the tires.
In turning the corners go slowly.
Fast driving around corners does
more damage to side walls of your
tires than you can imagine.

GASOLINE SHORTAGE IS
PREDICTED THIS YEAR
Standard Oil Chemist Urges
Economy; Government May
Relieve Situation.

Doctor Burton Of the Standard Oil
company, told members of the coun-
Gil of the society of automobile engi-
neers recently that the gasoline pro-
duction of 1917 will not be sufficient
to last thru the year unless radical
conservation measures are taken. He
estimated the 1917 production at
$500, 100000 gallons, of which Ameri-
can automobiles would use 1000, ,000,-
600 gallons, leaving 500, 100000 gal
Ions for use by military trucks and for
export to the allies.
'"rhe conservation and boarding Of
our gasoline supply is an important
question:" said Doctor Burton. The
supply of oil cannot be increased.
Either strict measures must be taken
by the government or double the
amount of value extracted from the
Oil"
This was before the report was is
sued by the federal trade commission
on the Standard Oil company. Per-
haps measures taken by the gov
ernment will have their effect to in
crease the gasoline supply.

GOODYEAR EMPLOYEES
WELL TAKEN CARE OF
Furnished Homes by Company
on Small Payments; Ath-
letic Field Provided.

The men of the Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Co. go in strongly for
athletics In fact the company has
specific department to handle and
develop those activities, in charge OF
qualified expert. The plans for this
years contests are well under wav
and Soldering field, n fine 36-acre
arena presented and equipped by the
president of the company, will be a
scene of great activity every fine day
until fall
Seiberling field is located in the fine
residence development the company
has been working on for Goodyear
employees for three years. The COM
pany's plan was to erect homes for
workmen, which the latter moved
into when all complete and ready
and began paying for them on the
basis of payments like rent. No
down payment was required. The
first piece of property thus set aside
for development consisted of one hun
dred acres, and has now been all filled
up with residences, and has been an
nexed to the city. 1t has a popula-
ton of $500 people.
Now several thousand more acres
are being developed on the same
basis. Contracts that mean 1900
houses within a year have been let
and the land Is scene of intense
activity these days.
When complete, 1t is admitted that
this will be one of the very finest and
most modern developments of its
kind in the United States. Every
home has individuality, and scenic
values have been carefully considered
in the laying out Of the land.
Goodyear officials maintain that
their plan has done wonders in secur-
ing and holding steadfast employees
men who because of Akron's
house famine, would otherwise have
been unable to remain in the city.

DORIS MAKES GOOD
UNDER SEVERE TEST
Negotiates Mountains and Des-
sert Sands on Economical
Fuel and Oil Supply.

Webster Colburn, vice-president OF
the Doris Motor Car company is In
receipt Of a letter from Samuel J..
Arnold of Fresno. Cal, which shows
the unusual ability of the Doris car
especially as regards mountain climb
ing. A portion of Mr.. Arnold's letter
is as follows
I'm driving from Los Angeles, to
Fresno, / consider that this new 1917
Doris performed miracles. Just
think! That whole trip without shift
Ing into either second or low, while
there were between fifty and sixty
miles of continuous mountain driving
up to an altitude of between $500
to 5000 feet l was surely surprised
to find that the motor used only one
half pint of oil, no water at all and
averaged between II and IL miles
to gallon of 60 per cent gasoline
The motor was sure cool and
had more power than / knew what
to do with. These IL and 8 cylinder
cars all have to shift gears in these
mountains, but that new Doris went
over the mountains without any effort
whatevtr."
Further on in the same letter, Mr..
Arnold says: Il had the pleasure of
making a trip to Chloride and King
man, Ariz,. and returned last month
in a 1911 Doris. 1t was a distance
OF between 1850 and LOO miles,
and a very strenuous and hard trip.
Nevertheless, the old Doris made the
round trip without any trouble of any
kind, averaged TN miles to the gal
lon. with plenty of mountains and
sand to go thru, and wind and sand
storms to contend with. Very few
cars can make that trip at this time

TIRE VALVES SHOULD BE
GIVEN CAREFUL ATTENTION
New Plnnger Often VIII Stop Appar-
emily Uncalled for Air Leakage.

Quite often the motorlst finds that
one tire becomes soft and that 1t is
necessary to initiate 1t every day or
so, which causes the motorist a great
deal of annoyance and Inconvenience,
and quite often he blames the tire
maker for a poor product, while this
condition may be due to the fact that
the valve stem in the tube is not prop
erly taken care Of An official of the
Fisk Rubber company says it may be
that the lock-nut at the base of the
valve stem Is loose and should be
frightened. or 1t may be due to a loose
or wornout valve plunger.
BY valve plunger is meant the lit
tie air check on the inner side OF the
valve. The small rubber washers and
make up this plunger becomes worn

Mileage May BE Reduced.

The high cost of road building, due
to the soaring prices of cement,
crushed rock and other materials. in
Guiding steel reinforcing binders,
may cause the Milwaukee. Wis.
county board of supervisors to aban-
don large part of its 1917 concrete
road construction program The
county was preparing to spend $780,
OOO in new roads, figuring at the cost
OF $4,000 a mile established in 1916.
Whcn the bids were opened, 1t was
found that the cost for 1917 will be
about s21 900 mile. New bids have
been asked and unless these are found
more reasonable in the judgment of
the board, 1t probably will undertake
only completion work of roads put
under way last year.

It Is well If your tire becomes de-

These valve plungers are very mex

GOOD ROADS BILL
OPENS new FIELD
Automobiles Will Enter Ter
ritory Heretofore Deemed
Improbable.

Perhaps one motorist in fifty real
ICES that the year just closed has seen
the greatest single accomplishment
in the cause of good roads since the
revolutionary war.
When President Wilson placed his
signature TO the Bankhead- -Sh hackle-
ford good roads bill, $4,000, 900 Of
federal funds and a like amount to
come from the various state treas
uries was dedicated to the cause of
better American highways. This
means that for the next five years
SS4 100000 Will be spent annually in
making The road system of the United
States comparable or superior to the
present fine roads of Europe.
Auto Creates Demand.
No more splendid tribute to the
education value of the automobile
could be paid than this action on the
part of congress. Until the coming
OF the motor car, the good roads issue
possessed little vitality. For seventy
five years the government exercised
a passive policy toward building per-
manent highways. Railways pushed
into virgin territory. cities sprang up
along the right of way, but the rural
arteries of travel remained in the
same hopeless condition as when the

With the first motor care came the
first feeble impulse to the good roads
movement. The first cars were sold
to city men, who very quickly found
out that whore city pavements ended

toward promoting their own road sys-
TENS as a result of this agitation. and
quite n little has been ACCOMPLISHED
in some. localities. But it has re-
mained for government cooperation
to open up the full possibilities of the
country by appropriating this huge
sum for road Improvement.

HOW GERMANS HAVE DEVASTATED FRANCE
 TOLD BY WITNESS
lRv H. G. Perrisl


 HAM. France, March 24.-I reached Ham hot foot upon the tracks of the first French troops after an old fash toned campaign day, in the course Of which we repeatedly begged or lost ourselves on the desolate moorland, md were turned back several times hy broken bridges along the canals of the reconquered region.
 It is no exaggeration to say that this abandoned region has been dev- astated. There has been no whole sale massacre, but, except in that re- spect, the spirit of barbarous cruelty is as rife today in the German army as it was during the terror in Belgium at the beginning of the war. Most of ghe villages through which I passed tbis week have been burned wholly or
 part. and the able bodied inhabit- ants carried off into what is virtually slavery. The Germans took away the iast batch of girls between 15 and 25 years of ago immediately before their
 treat.
 Orchards and farm implements were destroyed and the townfolk were rob- bed of their bedding and house linen, and often of their furniture. The money of the whole region was con- fiscated by an ingenious system of forced contribution and the exchange Of cash for worthless paper. Stand ing before the mountain of rubbish that today represents what was a week ago the ancient citadel of Ham, cannot but feel that my attempts to disting- uish scrupulously between different de- grees kinds of crime are wasted be- fore the resolute unscrupulousness and cold-blooded. unwinking vandalism of the men who damn themselves by these abominations.
 Ham was legitimately proud of it's historic monument, that was of no military value, like the great belfry hat was blown up at the same time, but which gave the town public dig aity and associated the people with the annals of their country The bas- ions and towers which held Louis Napoleon prisoner, and from which he escaped in disguise, were unarmed and could be of no use in modern warfare. Like the Tenth Century donjon of Councy, they have been sacrificed to slake the rage of a foe at length driv- en to recognize his impotence to ach- ieve real victory. The villagers say, almost in a tone of excuse: "They are like wild beasts driven into corner"
 Evidence has accumulated that the privation of the civil population of Germany are reaching the armies also. Several soberminded men and women have told us of cases of German sol diers including sub-officers, begging or offering high prices for necessary foodstuffs, and have described them as being badly fed and clothed badly. Tn conversation they seem usually to have vented their most particular spleen against the British army and nation

CLOCK TALKS TIME OF DAY

A clock which speaks the time at in tervals of a quarter of an hour has been devised by H. Hartmann, who is also the inventor of submarine cam era. The clock is not greatly different from the typical mantel timepiece in appearance, but in it's case there is embodied, in addition to the regular mechanism, an electrical device with a photograph, and the time is called off in very human-like tone, instead of by the use of bells and chimes.
