United States Tires
BOOSt for Motor Trucks

The war has given the horse a new
lease on life in the losing battle which
the animal is waging to prevent the
automobile from forcing il into OBJ
hvion along with the ~pterodaetyl and
mastOdon.
Three years ago the number of
horses in America began to dwindle
and last year no less a partisan of the
horse than the secretary of agrieul
ture said in his annual report: "SlOw-
ly but surely the auto truck is driving
dray horses from the city streets. Al
ready the automobile has effeetually
put the driving horse off the country
roads. The farm demand for several
years has been the mainstay of the
horse market"
But just at the moment that the au
tomobile had the horse dangling over
the ropes ready to sag under the fin
ishing wallOp, America entered the war
and under the stimulating effect of a
heavy demand for cavalry horses and
for increased motive power through
out the nation, tired Mr.. Epuus got
back his wind and now is battling
away with all four feet determined to
last out several more rounds.
One automobile enthusiast has point
ed out that the horse eats so much
that there would be an immediate de-
mand for his destruction were it pos
siblc to replace him quickly for the
work which must be done. By way of
statistics this enthusiast points out
that while only 60, 900, 900 acres of
farm lands in this country are devot-
ed to wheat growing, Al 100000 are
given up to oats and $4,000 900 acres
to hay, two articles of dict which are
essentially horsefeed. Ninety five
million acres for horse feed and only
sixty million for wheat in these times
when every acre counts, shows alto
gether too much favoritism to the
horse, in this man s opinion. i
The motor truck easily demonstrates
its superiority over the horse drawn
truck in the present national emergen-
ey in which the automobile has been
called on to help out the railroads.
While motor truck transportation has
owed its very existence to the solid
rubber tire, the truck has shown its
best result in the present emergency
when equipped with the United States
Tire eompany's big new "Nobby
Cord" pneumatics, which make long
trips at fast speed possible, without
serious wear and tear on the a and
with a great saving CT gasoline.

Hints for the Motorist
By Albert L. Clough 1 ss%sr Motor Of n s,t.Sss'
Warming The Engine On The Road.

Copyright, 1915, By The International Syndicai

NJ CONNECTION WITH the campaign for saving gasoline there is one
IA wasteful and very common practice of motorists to which attention
may properly be called. 1t is the long continued idle running Of
q engines for the purpose of so warming them as to secure perfect per-
Torrance. 1t " the custom of too many drivers to start their engines and
allow them 10 run fast or even to race, with the car standing, until they run
reliably on the mixture normally furnished by the carburetor. Several
minutes are sometimes required for this, when the weather is cold, epe
ciany when, as often happens, the radiator is not covered and the fan is in
operation. What is the use of burning gasoline and wearing out an engine
in this idle running when, by taking a few simple precautions, an engine
can just as well be warmed up on the road and be driven a long distance
toward its destination on the gasoline that is otherwise wasted? Besides
this noisy racing Of engines, with frequent muner and carburetor expo
sions. for the purpose of getting them going is highly offensive to the public
ana wastes a lot OF time for thoughuess drivers. 1t is perfectly true that a
very cold engine, unless 1t Is fed an excess of gasoline, will often STALL when
The throttle is widely opened under load. but almost any cold engine, that
VIII turn Itself over, idle, will move a car on level going with the low gear
engaged. One does not have to drive always on high gear and even on low
gear. a car makes more progress toward its destination than when standing
with the engine racing. After a cold engine has moved its car for a while
on low speed, Il Will usually be found that second speed can be engaged
without causing staHing and, soon after, that high gear can be made use
or 1t Is well to remember that missed explosions are much less disagree
able when a low rather than a high gear is engaged. Here are a few sug
gestions for warming up IN engine on the road and avoiding useless and
offensive idHng at the curb or in the garage: Cover the radiator front as
soon as the engine starts. Employ some means for providing excess gaso-
line to the cylinders at starting and discontinue its use as soon as practc
able Make use of a heated intake II possible Run on low gear at first
and change to higher speeds IS soon a. the engine will run on them.
