TIRES SHOW REMARKABLE WEAR
IN EIGHTEEN THOUSAND MILES

One of the most interesting charac-
country is Dr. Samuel Slocum, pros
pector, adveturer and ore expert.
Few men know the desert as he does.
Twenty one years ago, he pioneered mis-
way into Death Valley. with Indian
guides at a time when it was consid-
cred suicide to do So and since then
has spent most of his time between
that region and the mining districts of
Arizona Nevada and California. For
eighteen years he travelled with one
team of horses that was known to
every old timer between TonOpah and
Yuma as DR. Slocum's famous ''grays."
He covered $4,000 miles with them in
his travels.
But three years ago. he pensioned
his ''grays" for life on ranch-and
bought an automobile. In that time il
has seen travel that is beyond the con-
ception of the average motorist. DR..
Slocum says he has travelled trails that
would make the famous "Mammot
Wash" near Yuma look like boule-
ward.
About two years ago, DR.. Slocum
put Goodrich Silvertown cord tires ON
MS car, ana SINCE tndt time mas driven
them almost constantly over the desert
roads in Arizona and California, in
Guiding fie round trips to Death Val
ley. In all they have gone $4,000 miles
and are still in good condition.
This is quite record commented

r. Goodrich Rubber company depot,
for the machine loaded with camping
equipment, supplies etc. weighs at
least two and one-half tons"
And it is all the more remarkable, -
added Dr. Slocum, owing to the eX-
tremes of heat and cold to which tires
are subjected in crossing Death Valley.
In some parts of the valley, a Their

the top up. would register 100 degrees.

Six or seven hours later. we would be

almost freezing weather.
DR.. Slocum says that his methods of
taking care of tires are largely re-
sponsible for their long wear He al
ways keeps them fully inflated, sees
that they are cleaned often, and that
no oil or dirt stays on them any longer

MAXWELL COMPANY EXECUTIVE STAFF
MOVE INTO CHALMERS AUTO PLANT

Maxwell married the well-known Mr..
Chalmers are apparently ready to
hypothecate their dress shirts to buy
all they can get. Mr.. Flanders has
said several times that he will not
promise Chalmers dealers more than
2o,000 cars this year, but he has as
sured them that each one will be
worthy of his name as an automobile
builder. To most dealers that is,
enough said"
He has also said that he is going to
make money out of every car he pro-
duces in the Chalmers plant and that
he wants to help the Chalmers dealers
to do the same, not only this year but
as long as he controls the plant and
conducts the sales.
His department heads have been
smiling ever since he ordered them to
their respective posts in the amalga-
mated organization. The thing which
makes them smile is the double-duty
at the same old salaries, which Of
course is just a part of his plan to
make the Chalmers plant work at a
fair profit to all concerned Then, too,
there is another reason for the sup
pressed smile and the willingness with
which every man in the outfit is work.
ing day and night In the Maxwell
company all the people who have big
things to do and do them to suit 'the
chief" as they call him, get nice. fat
bonuses at the end of each successful
year, of which there have been four.
Naturally everybody is thinking of that
consolidated bonus next summer.

The entire executive staff of the
Maxwell Motor company of Detroit,
Mich. which has leased the Chalmers
Motor company for five years, moved
last month from its headquarters at
Woodward and Warren avenues to the
Chalmers plant, on jefferson avenue,
according to information received by
Rabbit Poison company, local Max
well distributors
Walter F. Flanders, now president
and general manager of both compan-
les, announced all of his department
heads, and also the fact that the sales
of both companies will hereafter be
directed from the Chalmers plant, with
the exception of a sales department at
the Maxwell factory, Oakland avenue.
to take care of Maxwell dealers who
visit Detroit
This move will completely wipe out
the old Maxwell executive headquarters
at Woodward and Warren and the men
who have been with Mr.. Flanders all
through his remarkable development
of the Maxwell company, building the
production from 1000 to 100,0 900 cars a
year, now take on similar positions in
the Chalmers to apply the simple and
successful Maxwell manufacturing and
sales policies to this higher priced car.
The automobile trade is intensely
interested to see if they can do it. The
wise ones are all discussing the unique
development of one organization pro-
ducipg and marking two lous esta0-
lished cars, selling at widely different
prices, under two names and made in
separate and distinct plants. Some
say: Mr.. Flanders cannot sell Chal-
mers ears in the same way he sells
Maxwells.'' Others say: We don't
see why the same substantial police ;.
which have put the Maxwell over,
should not be applied, with equal re-
suits, to car of the Chalmers class
So opinions differ, while production
and sales at both plants are rolling
along faster than ever before and all

visited Detroit since the little Miss

He will take charge at once and within

| This fund which is being raised at

| The work is not religious one, and

| tons. is not conducted inside the
camps themselves
1t is the estimation of those in
! charge of the work that $3,750, 600
| $500 for every enlisted man will be
/ necessary to maintain the work during
| the coming year. The fund will be ad-
ministered by an organization affiliated
with the commissions on training camp
| activities of the war and navy depart

! The recreational facilities of each of

| under the direction of an experienced
| agent stationed in each war-camp
community. 1t will be the duty of this
man and his assistants to provide the
right sort of social contact between
| the soldiers and the people of the
community
! The spirit with which our soldiers
| leave America, and their efficiency on
| the battle fronts of Europe, will be vi

in commenting upon ''the spirit of

Clubroom facilities for the soldiers
adequate sleeping and restaurant ac-

SECOND LIBERTY
LOAN STIMULATES
AUTO PRODUCTION

The second issue of Liberty bonds
will be over subscribed by far great
er percentage than the sale of the first
bond is my confident expectation"
This prediction was made by Mr. Ed
ward Yer Linden, general manager of
the Olds Motor works, at a gathering
of OIdsmobile distributors in Lansing
last week, according to information re-
ceived by the Ferguson Keller COM
pany. local Oldsmobile agents.
Mr. Yer Linden said in part: The
benefit accruing from the liberty bond
sale is tremendous. The purchase Of
a liberty bond has made each buyer
feel a responsibility in backing up our
country in every way possible; they
show new interest in getting the best
out of their efforts and to reduce vast
age both in time and in material
things to the smallest possible amount.
1T is to be expected that If the
possession of the Liberty bond has
been beneficial to or Workmen IN
their days work. it has likewise made
these men and their families apprecla :
tive of the need of eliminating tho

LARGE SHORTAGE
Of AUTOMOBILES
RESULT OF WAR

Present conditions were never bet
| ter for the sale of automobiles says
l.. j. Ollier, vice president and director
of sales of the Studebaker corporation
| But | also Want.tO emphasize the fact
! that the future is full of uncertainty
! not because of diminishing desire
upon the part of the public Tor a car
| but due to the increasing cost of ma
| terials and the great demands being
| made by the government for all base
metals.
In my estimation, prospective pur-
| chasers of an automobile who buy then
car at this time are showing a great
deal Of foresight. Automobiles viii
| probably never again be as low in price
| as they are right now-surely, not for
many years to come. Furthermore
| there is every prospect that the great
world war will eventually cause q
| shortage of automobiles. 1t is certain
that the tremendous requirements OF
| our vernment VIII so deplete avail
able supplies of materials that practi-
cally all makers viii be forced to great
ly curtafl, and in some instances cease
production.
Those who are waiting for the com
ing of peace to reduce the cost of mo-
ment. Right now officials Of the gov
eminent are constantly diverting the
materials which form the basis of au
tomoble production to war require
ments. After peace has finally been
declared and the world is again safe
for democracy, it will fall upon this
country to rebuild devastated Europe
/ Consequently we can hope for no
change in the material and labor mar
ket. II may even become more acute
than at the present time.
Although we cannot build motor
cars without steel, still il is not the
determining factor in automobile pro-
duction. 1t is just one of the material
items that go to build a modern motor
car, and other things, such as leather,
tires paint and glass, aluminium and
fibre. patent devices, and Il score OF
other important element that must be
considered Nothing as far as | know
now, can happen to oring down labor
costs. The tendency, in fact, seems to
be all the other way II is my opinion
that the advances in the labor items
will more than offset the decreases
made by lower prices for steel
The impression that got l0out when
the new rates on steel swere fixed by
the government that automobile prices
would drop at once is hardly justified
by the facts Prices for 1918 models
may be as much as so per cent higher
than prevailing prices-and that in the
ace of the fact that practically all
manufacturers have recently been
forced to make sharp advances.
There is really nothing to be gained
by waiting, and it is the wise men who
purchase their car now who arc sure
to reap the benefit of their good judg
ment later. A few months from now
those who have the purchase of a mo-
tor car in mind may find themselves
in the predicament of not being able to
Jbtain car at any price"
