AUTOS'CARRYING CAPACITY
Cars in Service in This Country
Six Times Greater in Trans

Business was appalled, by the brief
suspension of railroad activities during
the winter billiards, yet the total carrying
capacity of the railroads is only one-slxth
that of the automobiles in use in this
country One authority goes so far as
to declare that the carrying capacity OF
the automobile is greater than that OF the
railroad and street car systems combined:
Deprived Of the more than 4,OOO,0 600
automobiles in this country, the passenger
and freight congestion would be far
greater than that occasioned by a COM
plete tie-up of railroad traffic" +. A.
Taylor of the Taylor Motor Sales Com
pany agents for the Haynes Automobile
Co,
mot only does the passenger and
freight mileage of the automobile exceed
that of the railroad but the railroad
depends almost exclusively upon the
automobile for the primary movement OF
freight from farms and factories and the
final distribution. In many cases long
hauls by motors even take care OF ship
ments usually sent by rail. The gov
ernment has demonstrated conclusively
the practicability of such a move.
Use of the automobile has become so
general that even the passenger miles
traversed exceed those of either steam
railroads or electric lines.

AUTO TIRES MAY

Average Autoist Does Not Know

The average motorist has never given

the State tire marshal of Ohio may prove
cXtpmcly valuable in an emergency:

Indispensable in handling gasoline fire,
and !, also useful IN fighting any other
blaze about the car
In the absence of an extinguiSher,
sand or dirt can be used, but II should be
remembered that If sand be thrown into
the carburter mechanism harm is likely
To result
DO not use water IN attempting TO

Ill the engine back6res, use the

tingush that first and then work up to

There is, therefore, feeling in official

THERMOSTAT CONTROL.
New Feature on Columbia Car
Regulating Motor Temperature
Proving Popular.

Officials Of the Columbia Motors
company point with pride" to the
reception now being recorded the thermo-
static control feature of Columbia cars
IN the warm California climate They
say that motor temperature control, as
exemplified by radiator shutters operated
automatically by thermostat, is just as
popular with owners in California as it
has proven itself to bc in colder commune
ties
'Thermostatic control Of motor tenn
perature, by means of radiator shutters
and thermostat, is logical equipment for
an automobile in any climate" said A. T.
OConnor, of the Columbia company.
Some motorists have the impression
that Columbia advantages, due TO this
equipment, are apparent only IN cold
weather This il q mistake. The adj
vantages are perhaps more pronouced
in cold weather, but they improve
motor car operation in any weather.
