The most important event Of the war

 However. there never was time," he said, when users of motor cars could so well serve the nation as by making the most of their cars in legiti- mate commercial and passenger ser vice and refusing to hoard or unneces- sarily anticipate their needs in tires or other motor car supplies"
 Relies On Patriotism
 Weston called attention to the fact that the government has not at the present time imposed any restrictions on the use of motor cars by the auto- mobilists of the country. but has re- lied on the patriotism of the car-own- CTS to exercise a proper discretion in the use of their vehicles, with a view to conserving their cars and tires. Mir. Weston is of the opinion that thes mo- torists of the country can be trusted to cut down mere pleasure-riding to a minimum and to take every possible sten to cave +irec o'i en1 gasoline

 "In addition. the manufacturers of tires are heartily cooperating with the government program for the eventual elimination of unnecessary tire sizes. This elimination will simplify the problem for each user of the motor car of reducing his cost and making it possible for him to secure the tire size he needs, in good tires, more readily than the market and manufacturing conditions now permit.
 Tires Enough for All
 Plans for the withdrawal of certain tire sizes from use by manufacturers of motor cars will not in any way in- terfere with the manufacture and dis tribution of the tires to users who need those particular sizes at any time."

The Dort travelled 370 miles, over roads, good, bad, indifferent mountainous and level--ron the sea to an altitude of 1000 feet-on 14A gallons of gasoline. an average of nearly 26 miles to the gallon.
 'On the ten day economy run, made under the official sanction and super vision of the American Automobile as sociation. between Los Angeles and

 Change these figures from gasoline to dollars and cents and you will find the application. The extremely high gasoline mileage afforded by the Dort car, together with it's low tire expense land built-in quality, spells big mone- tary saving over less frugal cars"
