Packard Purposes No Change

The third series of the Packard twin
six will be continued for an indefinite
time. The chief purpose of new
model is to incorporate the improve
ments which an added years experience
has shown to be necessary. In a time
like the present, the Packard Company
feels. according to announcement of
policy made public to-day, that the
bringing out Of separate model mere
ly for the sake of change and of slight
Improvement would not be warranted.
Packard prefers to devote its engi-
neerlng and manufacturing talent to
more urgent work and more farreach-
ing results.
1t is pointed out that production of
passenger cars of the highest quality
is being reduced far below normal de-
mand. At time when, in the ordinary
year, makers are announcing new
models there is now every indication
OF serious shortage. This shortage
IS due to the fact that such materials
as chrome nickel steel, aluminium.
bronze, secondgrowth hickory and i'm
ported hides are exactly the things
needed for Instruments of war.
At the same time every condition of
the times sets premium on cars of
character and lasting worth A good
car is necessary to the efficient man of
affairs. 1t is to him mode of travel,
assurance Of swift and safe transporta-
tlon over any road Consequently, an
increased demand is created at the
same time that a shortage of materials
cuts down the supply.

lire Conservation In
Keeping With the Times

Just now when so much difficulty is
experienced in getting ships 70 trans
port crude rubber overseas is the time
that motorists must conserve their
tires, to the end that every available
pound of rubber may be used where
it will best help to win the war. All
forms of waste must sooner or later
be eliminated in the use of tires and
conservation principles followed that
will bring out the last mile.
The solution of the problem lies in
the education Of the tire user through
his service station dealer. A motorist
has no more right to waste tires than
he has to waste -four or sugar in his
home, and has no more desire to do
so. But his lack of information con-
cerning the proper manner of caring
for his tires or his omission to put
into practice the simple rules that add
so much to tire life last year caused a
waste of more than $3.50, 100000 worth
of tires.
We have found, Of course, that tire
users will use their own pleasure about
applying conservation principles to
their tires-you can lead horse to
water, but you cannot make him drink
but it is our object so thoroughly to
impress upon the purchaser these tire
care methods that the chances Will be
better than ever that he will put them
into practice. We are operating on
this basis through thousands of service
stations from coast to coast at points
convenient for all car owners.-Good-
year Tire and Rubber Company.

Shows Relief Work Motor
Vehicles Are Now
Doing

The figures In the census herewith are compiled
by the b. r. Goodrich Rubber Company. OF Akron
cho.J
Completion of census of the volume
of motor truck transport on the Cleve-
land Akron highway discloses that the
relief to the railroad lines between
these important centres is Ito per cent
over nine months previous. In car fig
ures, this means that this forty-mile
highway is giving 885 freight cars a
week to other communities for more
vital tonnage. If only an average of
500 car releases a week is maintained
for twelve months this busy roadway
will have saved for the nation 81 LOO
freight cars.
These statistics tell more vividly
than all phrases how potent is the aid
being given to the hard-pressed rail
road systems of the country. They
reveal, likewise. the tremendous strides
made in an industry that may in time
rival the railroad industry. They tes-
tify to the heights to which American
energy and resourcefulness can rise
in emergencies.
Here, in tabloid, is a comparison of
tonnage transported in one week by
highway and railroad between these
two points-a distance Of approx
mately forty miles:

Speed Is Surely Expense
When 1t Comes to Tire Wear

"Driving exceedingly fast is bounc
to shorten the life of any tire, as Of
tentime has been noted on the tire
equipment of racing cars. which had
reeled off mile after mile at high
speed" says W. A. Cawley, local man
ager Of the New York Tire Service,
Inc, which handles United States tires
and tubes exclusively in this territory.
This, in itself, should be warming
to the general automobilist that high
speed on any highway is not only detri-
mental to the tires, but to his pocket
book as we'll. Many motorists have al
ready realized that speed is expensive.
Not only that, but many precious hours
are lost in the time consumed to make
the necessary changes in tires that are
used up by the friction caused by ex-
cessive speed. 1t is little wonder that
In the latter case the motoring public
within our territory appreciates our
quick tire service system"

One of the objects Of the trip is to
prove the adaptability of the motor
truck for relieving in every phase the
railroad situation, over any distance
and under all conditions The schedule
al arranged by McNamaa is at an ap-
proximate rate of 100 miles day,
which will make the truck due in New

For the convenience Of the public
who are interested in the details of the
run De Bear has arranged a large de-

room. which will show the daily prog
ress made by the party including a de-
scriptive bulletin, which will be in the
form of kilograms from Mcnamara to
De Bear direct. The demonstration
will be watched and followed by almost
every commerciab b industry interested

1t is the intention Of the Maxwell

end Of the run, for those desiring
them, complete statistics of the entire

Too Much Talk of Speed:
Much Too Little of Brakes

steam railroads and electric trains. the
hrst requisite is the rapidity witt,
which the engine can step. Motorists

their entire attention to speed, with
little thought how quickly a stop can
be made.
