Bad Roads Knock Out Performance

RECORDS OF BRITISH AIR
FORCE MARVELS OF WAR

WASHINGTON, Sept 22.-Among
the many wonders OF the war, few
things are more striking than the de-
velopment Of the British royal air
forces. Four years ago the British
possessed considerably fewer than
100 aeroplanes. Now the royal air
force alone destroys on an average
week larger number Of enemy
aeroplanes than Britain possessed
when the war began.
The officially recorded figurea for
single month illustrate the com bat
ant activities OF the royal aeroplane
force In the month OF June last.
the number OF enemy aircraft
brought down (Which means de-
stroyed) by the British alone was
51i, while the number driven down
out OF control was 1868. As against
that total of 49, enemy machines de-
stroyed or driven down. 1858 British
machines were reported missing for
the same period. Another month
shows SIS enemy aircraft accounted
for, and only 120 British machines
missing.
The bormbIng planes have been
very busy also. During one month
British airmen dropped 653 tons OF
bombs over different military objec-
lives, and made no fewer than sew
enty-four separate bombing raids
over Germany itself. apart from
work over the battle area, and en-
gaging nearly 1000 enemy batteries
II is no uncommon thing for British
airmen TO bomb military objectives
in Germany itself three times in one
day.

Use OfAutOmobile in United States
ShOUs Marked Increase Since War

The automobile industry, despite
the enforced curtallment in produc-
tlon caused by war conditions and
the prospect of still more consider
/ able reduction, may justly congratu-
'htr its"f upon the proof OF the cs
: senual value OF the motor car as
presented in the fact that up to
June l. $50, 1000 moro motor vehicles
were in use in the United, States
than during the entire year Of 1917.
The total registration to June l.,
! representing less than half of the
year, was 5,46O,OOO cars, while the
total 1917 regis ration for the Coun-
try was slightly over $4,000. The
| present years figures DO not, Of
course, include several thousand
motor trucks, ambulanccs, and pas
senger cars purchased by the gov
ernmcnt for shipment overseas.
The prices Of automobiles, tires.
parts, everything connected with
automobile use, have steadily ad-
Nanced since the first of the year
This large increase is by no means
due to the enhanced use OF motor
trucks, although transportation and
business interests are employing
more of those vehicles than ever be
fore. Numerically, passenger cars
continue to lead, but proportion
atey the advantage is with the com
merctal vehicles. This fact was well
illustrated In the figures recently
given by Secretary OF state Hugo.
showing that, IN New York state,
from the first Of the year TO July
/, there was an increase OF over
$4,000 passenger cars and $4,000
motor trucks over the corresponding
period of the previous year, the to-
tai automobile registration in the
state being over $4,000 cars, cx-
ceedirg all other states in the union.
OF the $4,000 automobiles I'm
use at me end of 1917, only about
100000 were motor trucks. Trans
portation and war needs have given
Il great impetus TO their manufac-
ture, but, on the basis OF the first
three months production. George
NJ. Graham, chairman OF the motor
truck committee of the National
Automobile Chamber OF Commerce

about 275,000 motor trucks would

FRAME OF AERO EIGHT is
NEW MARVEL OF STRENGTH

The Aero Eight models designed
ana quit by the cole Motor Car
company are so unusual and strik-
ing IN design and so thorough in all
mechanical details that various parts
OF the construction merit especial
study by motor car owners who de-
ihahd more OF their cars than ever
before
The frame, which forms the foun-
daton for every working part and
road-straln, has been made the sub
Ject or special study Built like a
Dridge' characterizes It's sturdy
flexible construction. The frame is
extremely light. 1t is made OF hy-
draulic pressed steel OF high carbon
constituency. five thirty-seconds of
an inch in thickness and full six
inches deep at the side-mem bers.
The Aero-Eight frame has almost
unlimited carrying capacity and is
gifted with peculiar resiliency that
enables II 10 take up the greatest
road shocks with little excrtion.
A system OF cross -braclng with
mighty cross members reflects the
most advanced ideas In bridge build
ing. Placed at the most vital points,
they serve not only to take up all
transverse stresses and to overcome
all distortions resulting when shocks
are applied unevenly to the aNles,
but distribute all excessive strains
throughout the entire frame area re
gardless OF the particular point at
which the shock is incurred.
The frame side-members, full six
inches deep, with integral flanges
top and bottom and one-haIt inches
wide, attain their maximum depth
where the greatest load Is carried.
The frame tapers toward the front
to afford the shortest possible turn
ing radius and widens at the rear to
give the most rigid body support.
Much Of the lightness and easy
flexibillty OF travel depends upon the
frame construction. The turning ra-
dius results directly from skillfuI de-
signs and the proper taper toward
the front. To combine this flexi-
bility, lightness and strength great
care must be used in the design and
selection OF materials.
Particularly at the present time

a decided effect on the kind OF cars

Immediately after tho recognition

I'VE sing going TO and from drills
