Eastern Bureau Will
Send Daily Weather
Report to Truck Men

"The great part the motor truck
has taken as a commercial freight
carrier, operating over established
routes, has created the desirability
of furnishing daily weather bureau
report to all localities and communi-
ties along different routes, enabling
motor truck operators to know the
weather conditions prevailing over
the routes ahead of them, as we'll
as forecasts and warnings as to
coming heavy SHOWS and cold
wave" says Carl Changstrom OF
the Standard Motor Car company.
ALREADY the eastern bureaus have
arranged to cooperate with the
state highway committee OF Penn
sylvania to aid the automobile and
motor truck traffic during the winter
over the Lincoln Highway between
Pittsburgh and Harrisburg.
The plan is to have the assistant
superintendent of highways at towns
along the route report to the
weather bureau office at Pittsburgh
at s o'clock each morning by tele-
phone or telegraph, giving the depth
of snow on the highway. These re-
ports are published in the news

AUTO RACING TO
Be REVIVED AT
INDIANAPOLIS
Preparations Under Way for
Sixth Five Hundred Mile
Spin Over Famous Brick
Speed Course.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 2S.-The
return of the 500-mile race to the
Indianapolis Speedway means the
return of automobile racing as a
major sport in America.
Since the war started in 1914 in
terest in all sport has Jagged. Auto
racing stood up we'll for year, the
1915 season seeing good competition
with foreign cars in action. The
next year the sport began to pail on
the fans with the growth of speed
way racing in many sections, al
though the race for the champion
ship in which Dario Resta bested
the late Johnny Aitken and Capt.
Eddie Rickenbacker, served to keep
up the interest.
Indianapolis did not stage a race
in 1917 nor this year because the
owners of the brick track could not
see patriotism in trying to keep alive
the sport when the participants we're
needed by Uncle Sam to care for
and pilot his airplanes, trucks, trac-
tors and automobiles. Other tracks
staged races but melted only local
interest.
Blue Ribbon Event.
From its inception in 1911, when,
with AZ entries, the first 500-mile
race was staged, the Indianapolis
event became the Blue Ribbon of
America, replacing the famed Van
derbilt cup OF the road race era. In
dianapolis, in addition to being the
only speedway to successfully stage
more than one 500-mile race, has
track that tests the driving skill
of the pilot. The brick course
which is familiar to every rae
ing fan, has four curves of slight
gradient and four stretches. The
curves force the driver to show his
skill to stay on the track and the
stretches permit sprints for posi-
ton, which are lacking on the spe-
cially constructed bowls where the
curves are practically ironed out.
For its sixth 500-mile race Indian
apolis will bring out the flower of
the worlds racing field. With such a
race and a rich purse of $4,000 d.

Wendland Back From
Airplahe Electrical
School at St. Paul

H. H. (Heinie) Wendland, for
merry in charge of the electrical
service department of the Auto
Electric Service company, returned
last week from St. Paul, Mimi,
where he has made a very thorough
study of the electrical equipment of
aeroplanes.
According to Wendland the equip
ment on an aeroplane represents the
last word in automotive electrical
control. Many new ideas have been
advanced since the United States
entered the world war and our gov
eminent has not been satisfied to
accept various electrical experts
who have joined the army without
giving them a special course of in
struction.
Wendland is again back at the old
job and expects to add a new value
to the services of the Auto Electric
Service company. ......

Willard BACK
TOFREE SERVICE
| ON BATTERIES
Permitted Again by Uncle Sam
to Inspect Batteries With
/ out Charge to Gus
III toners.

Uncle Sam is to lose one Of his
best customers soon. for the Will
lard battery service station returns
to IFS free service to dnv auto owner
in regard to batteries at the break
ing of the New Year. Where does
your Uncle lose out2 Because for
six months if you wanted to get
your battery inspected it cost you
one thrift stamp to have it done
and then the Willard people gave
you the thrift stamp.
Elmer Rosengren, head of the
Willard service station in Omaha,
was requested by the United States
government as war measure to
discourage the giving of any kind
of free service while the war was
being fought. He evolved the idea
OF asking people to buy a thrift
stamp as a means OF curbing the
unnecessary calling Of auto owners
and the :ccd for man to look at a
battery that was in good shape, and
incidentally to teach the car owner
TO look after his own battery. The
plan worked well--not because peo-
pie begrudged the buy ing of thrift
stamp, but because one thought be-
fore driving in of the need of doing
his own part in the war and only
made calls at the service station
when absolutely necessary.
In spite of this eating down of
calls Mr. Rosengren reports with
pride that every month he has been
able to go to the government for
more than $3.50 wor4l of stamps
or an average of 1000 people
month had to come to him for
things they could not do them
selves.
With the dawning Of new year,
when the world expects war calls
have ceased for all time. the Willard
service station announces that its
policy Of free service will be put on
again and any car owner will be
sheerfully rendered inspection serv-
ice Of any make of battery by SIM

Work of Motor Trucks Not
Confined to Road HauIinu

While the motor truck as an item
of farm equipment has become al
most indispensable as a medium of
quick transportation between farm
and city, its utility is not necessar-
lily confined to road hauling. Many
farmers are making their trucks
carry ponderous loads across roll
ling farm fields, from barns to DIS
tant workers, and efficiently ham
ding crops and supplies inside farm
fences, where many conflicting con-
ditions have heretofore prevented
this. Pneumatic tires on trucks are
now permitting hauling in localities
where hauling has been practically
impossible. In the western country
particularly, the soft sands and salt
grass are conquered by trucks on
pneumat:cs, that would be useless
on solid tires for certain work.
