Three men nationally known for the interest they have taken in bringing about greater efficiency in transpor- tation will be the judges of the Pack ard Motor Car company's 5000 truck efficiency test. They are Waldemar kaemppfert, automobile editor of Pop ular Science Monthly and contributor to the automobile section of Nc Cures; Ii. W. Slauson. M. F., motor editor of Leslie's, and Harold r. Gould, editor in- chief of 100 per cent Efficiency.
 Each of these men has been writing for years on getting greater results from motor trucllN both from the standpoint of lower operating costs and the carrying of bigger loads. That they have wielded a powerful influence for better hauling at lower costs is generally recognized.
 Test Begins June 1
 The tests begin June 1 and ends Au- gust 31. Its purpose is to demonstrate the motor trucks ability to relieve the railroads of short haul traffic, to clear the railroad terminals of freight con gestion-in short, to 'help save a freight car for Uncle Sam" The test

 FIGURES SERVICE
 AS CHIEF QUALITY

The satisfied owner figures as the most valuable asset of the Ferguson keeler Co, Oldsmobile distributors They know how much pride and sat isfaction is experienced by the pur- chaser of an Oldsmobile. To retain this good will indefinitely, Service" IS the motto of every member of the organization.
 Service does not mean the main tenance of customers automobile at the cost of the manufacturer or the dealer who made the sale. Nor does the public generally expect that any longer. But service does signify
 continuing interest in the owner after he has bought the car, prompt attention to his needs and real help fulneS in case of trouble. It in- clud& an honest guarantee against d defective product and the speedy ad- Justment against a defective product and the speedy adjustment of all claims on their merit.
 Service of this kind in thousands of places at smaller or greater dis
 tances from the factory is beyond the capacity of any general service mana ger. Accordingly. a widespread or
 ganization has been created for the sale or and the service on Oldsmo- piles. Exclusive territories are con trolled by distributors, who subdivide these zones among dealer bodies, while
 the factory watches that it's policy is being followed by each of them Automobiles, more than any other | product on wheels, are subject to
 wear and tear, and the chances for abuse are numerous. In the majority | of cases trouble is the result of omis- sion rather than commission. The car operator does not always bestow that care and attention upon his au- tomobile. and especially it's motor, which is of vital importance to smooth and satisfactory performance. 1 For this reason, it is difficult some times to convince a customer that the
 fault is his, and not the cars. To safeguard bur owners to the greatest possible extent, nothing but | high grade materials and expert la | bor are used in the construction of | Oldsmobiles. It is due to this fact
 that the Olds Motor Works can guar
 antee their product for fully one year
 which is considerably longer than the
 guarantee period for most American cars.

NATIONWIDE INTEREST TAKEN
 INCOMING s5,000 EFFICIENCY
 TRUCK TEST BY THE PACKARDS

is undertaken in cooperation with the highways transport committee of the Council of National Defense.
 Immediately at the close of the test the judges will meet. From the stand ard truck cost systems on which the performances of the trucks in the test will have been tabulated, they will make their decisions. The names Of the owners who are to receive the three S1,O00 awards and the names of nine drivers who are to rec i've ihe s5O0, Sl0 0and S75 awards in each of the three classes will be announced.
 Rewards to Drivers
 Nearly a dozen Packard dealers in as many cities the country over have announced that they will offer awards to local drivers, the most efficient to be J.-dged by local judges not con- | nectcd with the Packard organization. A driver may receive both the national ana local awards il. the class in which his truck is competing. As a result in- | tense rivalry is certain in three cities. The one thousandth Liberty air plane engine produced by the Packard company was shipped from the factory this week. just year to a day from | the sending to Washington of blue prints and parts which formed the start of the Liberty motor design.
 Quietly Celebrated
 The dispatching of the one -thous- andth engine was celebrated quietly but none the less exultantly by the men who within a year have had the successive responsibilities of produc- ing the first Liberty engine by hand, the first Liberty engine to fly, tN first Liberty engine made from .ools designed for quantity output, and now their first thousand perfected engines. | Among those who witnessed the crating of the motor for shipment was the young engineer who on May 29, 1917, took down to Washington a trunk, checked as personal baggage which contained complete blue prints and an all steel cylinder of an avia- ton engine. It was the design of this engine, representing at that time more than two years of development work, from which J. G. Vincent, the Pack ard chief engineer, and F. J. Hall evolved the design of the Liberty mo- tor.

 Production of the Liberty engine is going forward with accelerating speed. The Packard company, first tC get into production, is turning out 2; a day.

MICHELlN TIRE HINTS '. The Evils of Under Imitation and
 Overlooking

Cal Messner, Phoenix agent for the Michelin Tire company. says that the first thing a drives does when one of his tires blows out is to look for some small sharp object that he is certain caused the trouble. The next move very often is to form an ironclad opinion that the tire manufacturer is wholly to blame for the accident As matter of fact. it is more than like ly that the fault lies with the driver, for there are two results of careless ness that no tire can possibly with stand. Thee are insufficient infla- ton and constant overhauling.
 When surveying a blowout, some drivers claim thst they have been particular to teH their tires so as to

overweight of from one to two hun
 dred pounds, and that the tire had
 been insufficiently inflated most of the time. The fact that there is no overload or under-inflation at the mo- ment of the blowout proves nothing. In the greater number of cases it is

 Others claim that their cars were never overloaded. Many drivers for get that present trouble may date back to a period of carelessness when the car was compelled to carry an
