Elwood Haynes Real
Pioneer OF Motor Car
Industry; Started 1893

The recent reelection Of Elwood
Haynes as president Of the Haynes
Automobile company, recalls the i'm
portant part which this master in
ventor has played in the development
Of the American automobile industry.
Before another year has passed Mr..
Haynes will observe the 25th ami
versary OF his entry into the automo-
bile business, and he is perhaps bet
in this country to forecast the future
development OF the automobile.
Mr.. Haynes has never given cred
ence to the theory OF a saturation
point in the demand for automobiles.
He IS firmly set in the belief OF a con-
stantly increasing demand for motor
cars through the broadening of the
field OF demand. IN support OF nis
contention he points to the many new
uses TO which automobiles are con-
stantly being put
Mr.. Haynes recalls that his first
car, which made its appearance in
1898, was Immediately pronounced i'm
practicable by many able scientists
and inventors Of that day. Even after
the automobile industry had reached
the competitive stage, Il was COM
monty believed that motor cars never
would be available for any other than
the privileged few who had money to
squander on such 'luxuries"
Great taxicab systems, cross coun-
try bus lines, motor driven provision
wagons, ambulances, trucks Of every
descriptiOn-these are only a few Of
the many veriflcations Mr.. Haynes's
predictions And he expresses il as
his opinion that the future holds in
store even greater possibilities for the
automobile.

ent to the crowds in the grandstand,
is the pit service rendered to each
car IN the field Of racers. Across
from the grandstand is a series OF
compartments, each fronting on the
track, commonly known as pits.
Five Men in Pit.
Each CONTESTANT is entitled TO have
five attendants. including the team
manager, in the pit assigned to his
car But only two attendants are
permitted to make replacement OF
gasoline, water and tires, or chank
the motor, when the contestants car
is at a standstill at the pit They are
not allowed to make any mechanical
repairs OF adjustments to the car
These must be made by the driver or
his mechanician-
The pit attendants keep a record
Of the laps made BY the car assigned
TO them, and see that the proper tools
fingers ends when needed They also
see that q reserve supply OF tires is
available TO make any changes that
may be necessary In case OF tire
change, the entire wheel is removed
and replaced by another wheel with
tire already mounted. So expert are
some Of these pit men that tire
changes are effected by them in 20
seconds.
Signals to Drivers.

position among the drivers. Here is
where the signaling from his pit is
invaluable to him. Racing drivers
have been known to win important
races unknOwingly, having lost count
Of their position in the race.
As Goodyear cord tires are used in
racing more extensively than any
other make OF tire, Goodyear tire ex-
perts are on hand TO see that each
pit is properly supplied with spare
tires for requirements in cases Of
emergencies Tire changes, however,
are becoming less and less common in
the big automobile races. Racing eX-
perience has taught tire makers the
secret Of making tires that will stand
the terrific grinds OF the speedways.
It has been a triumphant season for
Goodyear cords. for every race to

INSPECT TIRES AND

4 T the beginning Of the 1917 au-
"A tomobIe racing season there
, was much speculation among
racing men as to the attitude the
public would assume toward speed
way events in wartime. The season
just passed has proved a big success
but there were some misgivings about
the one just beginning.
The large crowd at the opening
race at UniontoHn, Pa. and q little
later at Cincinnati and Chicago, how
ever, dispeIled all illusions on this
point, for the attendance at all three
races was in excess OF that OF the
previous season So It was evident
that with an even break as to weather
racing would continue to be popular.
Subsequent racing events have justi-
fled the fondest hopes Of both racing
men and promoters for a continu-

later races have been remarkably well
attended and the races themselves
have been Of high order

linen or bed linen, is cut up into small

are laid on n board or kitchen table,
and scraped with n knife blade, con-

such as are used for pairing vegetables,
or pocket knives, are used for the
work. The linen must, of course, be
perfectly clean.
Other clean rags of white cotton are
cut up into small strips to be used TO
stuff pillows. The strips are less than
an inch wide, and may be frayed along
the edges. They vary in length and
are used as Il substitute for feathers.
