United States Factory
Turns Out Few Seconds"

The almost complete absence in the
tire markets of United States tire
Seconds" has brought from that com
pany the explanation that long steps
forward in the scientific construction
of its tires have resulted in such a per-
fection of output that for long period
the number of slightly imperfect tires
coming from the company's factories
has averaged less than one in thous-
and.
. What few "seeonds" appear are
snatched up eagerly, and as a conse-
quence only perfect tires appear in the
open market.
The scientific methods employed in
the manufacture of tires have two pur-
poses-to make sure that the materials
are perfect in quality, and to make sure
that every detail of workmanship is
absolutely perfect. As consequence,
when a tire finally goes into mould
the various parts fit together with an
exactness that guarantees a flawless,
gOod-looking product.

Maxwell Trucks Are
Taking Prominent Part

Taking a prominent part in what has
been termed "The Largest single op.
GRAFTON in highways transport history"
four Maxwell trucks, owned and oper-
ated by Smith 5 Transfer and Storage
Co., of Washington, D. O., made q most
enviable record for efficiency and road.
ability. The work consisted of moving
the furniture and office equipment Of
the U. s. Emergency Fleet Corporation
from the national capital to the new
home Of this great shipbuilding agency
in Philadelphia.
According to- the owners story, the
four Maxwells formed a part Of IL
truck fleet which left Washington early
one morning recently. OF the other
trucks, there were some which cost -four
times as much as the Maxwell's but dc.
spite this and the more important fact
that the Maxwell trucks were more
heavily overloaded than any Of the
others, they were the only trucks in the
caravan to reach Philadelphia without
mishap and were also the first into
Philadelphia and the first to make
Washington on the return trip.
The operation being such large one
the owners had determined to make an
accurate record Of the trip and keep
strict account of the expense incurred
by each truck. This was done and the
completed chart showed that the Max.
well trucks had used less gasoline and
oil than had touring ear driven by
Arthur Smith over the same route at the
same time, as a pilot car to the truck
train.
So pleased were the Officers Of the
transfer company with the work of the
Maxwell trucks that, for an expected in
crease in the size Of their fleet, they
have already specified Maxwells, theif
experience of the past ten months, they
say, proving to their complete satisfae-
ton, thai the Maxwell truck has prov.
en- to have every good quality.

Answer: We think you can. There
is on the market a so-called fuel
reserving valve, which can probably
be substituted for the fitting
through which gasoline flows from
your tank. This is a two-way valve
arrangement, one valve controlling
the flow Of fuel through a pipe
which extends upward a little way
into the liquid in the tank and
the other valve controlling the flow
through a pipe nearly flush with the
bottom of the tank. The car is
ordinarily run with the former valve
open and the latter valve closed,
but when all the gasoline that will
come through the former valve has
been used. 1t is possible to obtain an
emergency supply by opening the
other valve.

Chaplain Hayes
May Be Cardinal

New York, Sept. 21.-Appointment
of a successor to Cardinal Farley as
archbishop of New York, the worlds
greatest Catholic diocese, is regard
ed in ecclesiastical circles here as
one of the most important problems
awaiting action by the consistory at
Rome.
Clergy and the laity in close. touch
with Catholic affairs speak Of the
Rev Patrick J. Hayes, auxiliary
bishop of the diocese, and chaplain
general of Catholics in the army and
navy, as one of the prelates who
might be chosen for elevation to the
archbishopric unless the pope and
his advisors should decide to bring
back to the metropolis Archbishop
Mundelein of Chicago, former auxil-
larry bishop Of Brooklyn. Both men,
1t is pointed out, possess the
youth and vigor said in Rome to be
essential to administration Of
Catholic community Of 1,325,0GO per-
sons.
Well informed Catholics here do
not anticipate appointment Of an
other American cardinal until the
end OF the war.
Archbishop Ireland Of st. Paul, is
regarded as being eliminated from
consideration by his advanced age
and failing health.
