ands of experienced tire men have been drawn up into comprehensive charts. Price cutting, over production, etc, all have been given careful consideration.
 And from those, various merchan- dising ideas have been worked out that will enable tire dealers who get this book to build up a bigger tire business in 1918 regardless of the War.
 There are today" says Frank C. Millhoff. general sales manager of the Miller Rubber company, ''approxi- mately 429 brands of tires on the mar ket. All these will compete next year for the tire business of America Esti- mating 5,000,000 going cars for this country in 1918, that is the absolute limit of the American tire market.
 For we all know there cannot be more tires sold than the cars the coun- try can use Needless to say, eact manufacturer figures on getting his definite share of this tire business. Of course, some manufacturers over-esti mate the volume they will do. So al the end of the season some must be disappointed.
 Without even taking into considera tion the high esteem with which Mil Ter tires are looked upon by other than Miller dealers, we feel confident that it will not be Miller We have constantly been over-sold. We are going to make Miller tires better next year than they have ever been before 1 We have entered into a nation wide consistent and powerful advertising campaign. The present organization of Miller dealers can handle all tho | tires that we can supply with ou present capacity and what extension we can make within the next twelve months"

GREAT STRENGTH IF MACK TRUCK SHOWN
 IN TRAIN COLLISION

When a Southern Pacific passenger train travelling, it is estimated, at 50 miles an hour struck a Mack truck on the crossing at the Puente station near Los Angeles, short time ago, the truck was wrecked and nearly de> molished. However, those who wit messed the accident and passengers on the train have stated that it was re- markable that the truck was not re- duced to bits.
 The three and one half ton Mack truck was the bull dog type and the property of the Petroleum Develop ment company. It was equipped with tank body. It was struck broadside by the train and hurled distance of 90 feet. Instead of being wrapped about the pilot of the locomotive or smashed into smithereens the frame of the Mack was bowed only. The diff ferential, transmission and housing, regarded as the most vital parts of the truck, were not broken and the front axle merely bent at the steering knuckles.
 There never has been anything to my knowledge said Mr. Ferguson, of the Ferguson Keeler company, that demonstrated more convincingly the kind of materials used in Mack con- struction. This truck was of the same l type that we used in the Thrift stamp | parade and which had been fitted uI as an imprOmptu stage

large extent, would have to perform what had heretofore been the func- tions of the steam and electric rail roads. We knew that owners of auto mobiles would be expected and called upon to do those things, which, up to a few months ago, were considered inn possible. We knew, then, that it was plainly up to us to build Mitchells better than ever-to strengthen them for the non- -combatant industrial struggle on this side.
 Mitchell engineers were instructed to give the cars more of the rigidity and longivity necessary to make a vic- tory reality; to make them more comfortable, if that were possible. for those Who would find it necessary to sit behind the steering wheel hours at a time. Another factor was to make Mitchell motor cars even more simple in operation and more economical. and, with all these improvements to hold the price down so that all who found an automobile essential to their business or to their war work, could make the investment without hard

OWNERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT

When they say that a car has 2 unit power plant, what do they mean? Il find this term used in the automobile page and l don't understand it?-l Greet.
 The term unit power plant is used | to describe the construction wherein | the motor and gearset housings are integral. Other constructions make the gearset unit with the differential housing on the rear axle or give it
 separate location midway between the motor and the rear axle. My car has just gone to. the repair shop to have set of broken timing gears replaced The relative costli-
 ness of the proceeding leads me to ask
 gears.-R. Van A.
 Imperfections in the metal may cause timing gears to break and so may mis-
 alignment, due to improper installa-
 tion or the warpage of the gears. This | latter condition may be induced by
 running without oil or in oil containing
 fragments of metal in the oil, from the
 gears.
 Will it be possible to increase the power of my engine by fitting plate | of some sort on the top of the pistons thereby increasing compression? What material ought the plate to be of and
 how thick should it be?-J. K. Gill. | Yes; you can undoubtedly increase
 the power of the engine by riveting on
 the tops of the cylinders, aluminium plates having thickness of from one
 eighth to one-quarter of an inch. I have bent the front axle of my car slightly, in a curb slam. Do you think
 it is likely that the wheels are out of
 line? What had l better do?-L. D. F. It is extremely likely that the wheels
 are out of alignment. Never fail after
 an accident of this kind to have the
 alignment checked up by reliable
 repairman, if you cannot do it your- self. Don't delay attending to this. as wheels misaligned will cause excessive
 tire wear to say nothing of the diff
 culty of steering, which will be notice-
 able.
 Will you be kind enough to tell me what the difference is between the so- f called selective and the progressive gearset?-S. N. N.
 The essential difference is that in the selective gearset any speed may be obtained without first going into any other speed. In the progressive type high speed cannot be obtained with out first going through the flower snnede

ROADSIDE PATCHING

An ingenious expedient for hurrying a tube patching job to completion is this: Have two small slabs of wood
 apply the patch to the tube, then place the job between the two blocks of wood. Next place the jack on the up- per block, slip the whole under axle or frame of the machine and raise it so that the car Is lifted an inch or so. 1hls brings several hundred pounds of pressure on the patch and materially hastens the completion of the repair.

-------tJ~-------- HEAT RESISTING CEMENT

It is often convenient to have a ce- ment that will resist considerable tenn peratures. Here is the recipe for a good heat withstanding cement Take fifty parts of sulphur, one part os resin and one part of tallow. Melt these ingredients together and add fine powdered glass to form a paste. This cement must be heated before being used.

OLD PLATINUM CONTRACTS

In the old days platinum was net quite so expensive as it is now and in the screws of old magnetos and con- tact coils there was often inserted a goodish sized piece of platinum. Bv using a file carefully it is possible to remove the brass and reclaim the platinum, when it can be soldered upon the end of a new screw.

despite the freight situation.

Literally, thousands of Oldsmobiles have been driven away in order to meet the compelling demand and not keep car purchasers waiting.
 There is a further. advantage. too, in the fact that a car which has been driven a few hundred miles is in far better running trim. As winter breaks and spring opens up, we expect a tre- mendous increase in the number of drive-aways, to meet the big spring de- mand which I predict will be a verit- able avalanche"

WOODS JAMmED WITH GERMAN TROOPS
 UNDER THE RANGE OF ALLIED HEAVY GUNS

nounced that his policy in recom- mending any change in draft ages would be to seek a sufficient number of men to meet the army's needs in such ages as would least disturb the economic situation at home. The hulk of the new forces, in his view, should be drawn from the youngest class of men physically able to stand the strain of modern warfare.
 From the purely army standpoint, this has been a boys war from the start The quick recuperative powers of youth have been vitally necessary to the military machine under the conditions of modern warfare.
 Older men are slower to recover, and are, therefore, of more limited use to the army
 On the other hand, however, there are a great number of men who could be called out of the higher ages, even up to 45. A far greater proportion of the men between 331 and 45 have dependent incomes than is true with men below 31, reducing the depend ents factor for exemption to that ex- tent.
 As to the size of the army for which this increased class one is nec-I essary no official has dropped a hint, with the exception of General March who in announcing the creation of a July schedule Of si nxew divisions, foi-l lowed by an August schedule for the same number, has indicated the em- barkation upon such a monthly pro- gram. At this rate approximately 250,000 men a month would be sent overseas, their places in the home environments to be taken by 250,000 new men. Under such a schedule, raising and training of 1,750,000 men in the United States. full six months of training on this side, both in divis- onal and replacement camps before men were sent over to complete their courses behind tn lines would be pos sible
 It is not certain that the department is aiming at the creation of force of any definite size. There are now up- wards of 1,3O0.000 American troops either overseas or enroute. Secre- tary Baker said today the shipment rate of the early part of July had been maintained throughout the month, al though he did not have available the total shipment. Under the 250,0O0 a month suggestion and without mishap to the supply line, october should see 100000 Americans overseas and the opening of the spring campaign of 1919 when many officers believe the, final scenes of the German defeat will begin in a great combined drive against the German lines might easily see 3,00000O ready for action, with another force of substantially 2,000,- 900 organized at home. That would represent the army of 5,000,000 men for which, in generay way, the wal department may be aiming.

With the French Army in France. Aug. 1.-General Mangin Uith the French and British troops of his con- mand, is fighting a severe battle north of the Ourcq river and .s making con siderable pro- ress.
 After taking the village of Grand Rozoy, northeast of Fere-en Tarde nois, the allied troops advanced 10 the Plessiere wood wher e the com0atan, $ are in the closest of grips and the combat is extraordinary fierce. TLe heights north of Grand RoZOy have fallen into the hands of the allies and at several points the allied troops have approached within five miles Of the railroad leading to Bazoches which is the only railroad that can be used by the Germans for maintaining com munication. With the fall of dark ness tonight, fighting continued be- tween the allies and the Germans oG the western side of the SOissons- Rheims salient. Allied observations reported that bodies of Germans were fleeing precipitately northward along the road leading from I-auncy, which lies about midway between Soissons and Fere-en-Tardenois
 The attack by the allied forces, which brought them such good re- suits during the day. started at four o'clock this morning, with the aid of tanks.
 The British joined with the French in attacking the woods, thickets ana villages, each Of which had been transformed into fortress with the aid of machine guns.
 By six o'clock Hill 205 and the vil- lages of Courdou, Servenay and Cram osoilles had fallen before the determ- ined allied assaults and prisoners were coming in By seven o'clock the assault was so marked the British and French batteries were able to go forward to new positions.
 The German guns replied feebly but their mitrailleuses were very numerous. The enemy counter at tackled furiously from Buzancy and Eveque wood but their efforts were splendidly held up by the allied infan- try. By evening the allies had oceu- pied Cramelle, northwest of Fere-en- Tardenois and the hillocks to the north of it.
