CARS WILL Be Lighter
Development Of Automobile
Accompanied by Loss of
Cumbersome Parts.

| Light weight is one of the earmarks
| of that finished simplicity which John
limbs. historian of American invcn-
ton. says is the ultimate stage in me-
chanical development. Crude direct
ness at the start leads up to burden
some complexity, which is forced to
give way eventually to the final, sim
pie design which makes the complex
stage of development seem absurd.
The automobile industry as a whole
has passed through the first stage and
is now almost through the second.
Completely OF design saw it's height
in the Fights" and "tWclves." 1t seems
hardly probable that it will ever be
carried further, at least In the num-
Der of cylinders. And even while the
multi cylinder engines have been en-
joying their greatest popularity. there
has been a steady and gradually inten-
styling undertonc. the dominant note
of which is less weight. One is con-
WINGED on this point by even n cursory
examination Of the printed matter is
sued and the advertising done by many
manufacturers. We read Of aluminium
motors. ''lightness with great
strength "uncqualed lightness for
strength" light SKIES" and so on and
the theme is invariably weight rcduc-
ton.
This movement has It's parallel in
other lines of vchicular transportation.
Seventy five to 100 years ago the first
steps were taken to tighten horse
drawn vehicles, the new design taking
form in the one horse chaise. Today
it is almost an axiom that the weight
of vehicle plus that of the horse
drawing it shall only total about twice
the weight of the passenger load the
vehicle is built to carry. In these
lighter vehicles it Is possible to make
the springs much more flexible than
where heavy bodies and aNlcs were in
volvcd in the construction. And it is
also possible to take advantage of the
riding case which the low weight of
axlcs and wheels (unsprung weight
introduces.
In 1915 the street railway business in
this country was near a crisis. The
managers saw the only way out was IN
building lighter cars to reduce upkeep
costs of both cars and tracks. Cars
which weigh % per cent less than the
ordinary type are fast replacing the
latter and with much better results.
II the great railroads of the country
reduced the weight of locomotives and
cars, they could save millions In the
yearly rail bill and the depreciation
and upkecp of rolling stock and road
bed would be corrcspontlingly less.

.PNEUMAnCS FOR TRUCKS:
Goodyear Company Finds
Single-Tire System Feas-
ible After All.

Tires have become so vital an ele-
mcnt of truck service that their every
development is viewed with interest
by the truck using world. Truck us
ers are coming to realize that more
depends upon the tire equipment than
has heretofore been recognized-that
tires must protect the engine from vi
hration and reduce repair expense in
addition to preventing the road shocks
from affecting the load.
Some truck manufacturers and truck
users have sought relief through the
use of dual pncumaticsA tires on
each rear wheel. But this cxpcdicnt
has It's disadvantages, of which the
difficulty of maintaining equal air
pressure and of removal of the inner
tire in case of trouble. is quite promi-
nent
The tire engineers of the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber company have de-
clared in favor of the single pneumatic
tire for trucks and have during tho
| last year effected a wonderful dcvel-
opment in this field.
"Our newest development in this line
is a cord pneumatic truck tire" states
l.. c, Rockhill manager automobile
tire department. the Goodyear Tire L.
| Rubber company. We have for some
time been making pneumatic truck
tires of fabric construction which have
turned some wonderful mileages at n
very low cost, but our tire engineers
are always searching for sopething
| better and have now applied the cord
principle to these tires. with remark
able results.
Our cord tire for trucks is not i
specially constructed tire. 1t repre-
sents simply the application OF this
principle to tires made in the proper
sizes for truck use. In the method o.
construction they are identical will
our cord tires for touring cars, which
won so many notable victories on thu
speedways of the country during tn
racing season this is just past.
They come in the all-weather blacl
tread, and are made In sizes 36N6, 3Sx'
4OxS and 42x9, with from 10 to=16 pile
of cords, according to the size Of tn
tire. In many kinds of service we hay
made exhaustive tests which hav
proven that the tires are right. an
we are assured of a phenomenal bust
, ness in this line

"NEVER AGAIN"

Brilliant, successful and logical as
the great HohenZollern experiment in
statecraft undoubtedly was, it failed,
oddly enough, even during its bright
est years, to bring satisfaction to it's
beneficiaries. There was a fatal de-
feet concealed in all its perfections,
the defect probably of leaving all
that was illogical, incalculable and
human out of the precise organiza-
ton.
With it's over regulation, ITS rule

justice and its mechanical ideals, it
weighed as heavily upon it's citizens
as it did upon unacclimated visitors
True, there was a cold beauty about
this scientific state that compelled
admiration, but it awoke no affec-
ton. Bedraggled, tarnished, impov-
erished, the war has worked havoc
with the bewildered admiration of
the German masses for the Franken-
stein creation of their rulers; and
their allegiance ebbs.

HELPING ITALY

ITALY has had n large and impor-
tant part in the war and her pres
ent reverses, unless the judgment
of many authorities is at fault, are
due largely to the neglect of the
allies. Italy has been short of coal,
food and munitions, and has repeat
edy said so. But the allies have been
so intent upon making war along
the French front and in bolstering
up the tagging Russian forces, that
they have neglected their southern
comrades in arms most shamefully.
Now that disaster has overtaken
Cadorna they must prepare to give
him quick and effective aid, not only
for Italy's sake, bun for their own,
for with Italy completely dominated
by Germany, there might be danger
of a southern invasion of France.
However, slow though they have
been to help, now that the need has
been driven home. the allies are in
excellent position to come quickly
and effectively to the rescue in time,
at least, to prevent the utter defeat
of the courageous Italians. who have
been battling from the very begin
ming under tremendous difficulties.

prices. There have been some pretty
open charges made that farmers are
not following the suggestion of the
Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington and at Harrisburg to get their
produce into the hands of their own
neighbors of the cities and towns.
If ever there was time for the
new Bureau of Markets to prove its
value 1t is right now. Thanks to an
admirable system of reports the folks
at the State Department of Agricul-
ture know where the produce was
raised and can tell how much re-
mains unsold. The bureau can make
a few wholesome demonstrations of
it's power without much trouble.
There ought not to be any dearth of
foodstuffs this winter in this rich
agricultural community and we
ought not to pay more than any
similarly situated city. If the State
Bureau can get the farmers to send
their products to the markets it can
benefit both producer and consumer
in the long run and make itself an
invaluable part of the State Govern
ment.

SOUNDS HIGHER NOTE

President Viera, of Uruguay. in
his message to his Congress asking
that relations with Germany be
broken off, sounds a higher note of
republicanism than has been heard
lately. Uruguay has not as yet re-
ceived particular offense from Ger
many, but the President deems 1t
n national duty to join with the de-
tenders of democracy and small ma
tions This is a strong Endorsement
of the attitude of the American peo-
pie. Our fight is against despotism
and tyranny for the people and for
freedom, and on this basis the re-
publics of the new world are uniting.
Peru has just joined in the phalanx
against Germany, thus making the
three Americas almost solidly ar
rayed in opposition to kaiserism. 1t
is unthinkable that those not already
so aligned are not favorable to our
cause, which is the cause of all. Ger
many is left without friends in the
world, save its allies, who are as
badly off. We are witnessing the
rapid and complete disintegration of
their external commercial and polit-
ical fabric, so carefully and method
ically built up and so desperately
sacrificed. The Kaiser's dream of
dominion is dissipated and his only
hope now seems to be to save what
he can from the wreck of his ambi-
tions.-From the Omaha Bee.

GERMANY TO HEATHEN GODS

A NEW objective of the Pan-Ger-
~ man propaganda is revealed by
a widely known German pub
licist. Writing in the Suddeutsche
conservative Korrespondenz of
Karlsruhe, of which he is publisher
and editor-in- chief, Adam Roder
gives it as his opinion that the Pan
Germans aim to wipe out Christian
ity in Germany and establish a pecu-
liar, made-in- G ermany religion. He
accuses the Pan-Germanists of Bit
ter hatred of Semitic Christianity"
and quotes from their writings to
prove his contention. Then he ar
rives at this conclusion:
The Pan-German view of the
world is consciously aimed at the
roofing out of the Christian religion
and the system of ethics derived
from it,. A German religion is to
arise, linked to the belief in Wotan of
our ancestors, which, in turn, is to
be so refined by the results of the
modern theory of races and the
teachings of the Darwinian theory Of
evolution that what remains will be
atheism, framed in high sounding
phrases. The German people, as the
noblest and most favored of all races,
as the highest manifestation of hu-
