HOW ROYAL CORD

Product of United States
Tire Company Built on
Layers of Fish Cord.

Were Robert William Thomson,
builder of the first pneumatic tire for
carriages, to- return to earth today
and view the modern successor of his
invention, the Cord tire, he would
hardly believe his eyes.
Robert Thomson was an English
civil engineer and undoubtedly was
the first man to conceive the idea of
a pneumatic tire. His first tires, which
appeared on the streets of London Y
years ago were strapped to the wheels
of a brougham. A nipple passed
from the rubber inner tube through
the soft leather casing and projected
on the inside of the felloc where if
means of a brass cap and leather
washer. For initiating the leather
incased tube, a Condenser was used
This condenser no doubt was the be-
ginning of the present-day tire pump
Thompson's theory was that a vehicle
would move over the road much more
easily than a vehicle riding on the
usual steel rims. To prove his case
he put his tires on carriage weigh
ing approximately 1000 pounds. That

BY JOHN D. MANSFIELD
General Sales Manager, bort Motor

There is scarcely phase or feature
of our business life which the auto
mobile has not entered with beneficial
results. 1t carries thousands where
railroads and street cars cannot pene-
trate. 1t is ready at call.
These facts are more generally re-
aized than ever since we entered the
war. People have ceased to think cf
the automobile in terms Of pleasure
OILY. They know, by proof of eye
and personal experience, that it is a
gteat and indispensable utility.
Could the American people get
along without the automobile? Tn
doubtedly they could, but no easier
than they could get along without
typewriter, telegraph, telephone,
street car and elevator. It is nee
essary in order to maintain present
standards of human efficiency. 1t
is one of the things that has made
| us great in achievement, because 1t
has kept us in closer touch with 9TH
ers 1t has reduced miles to yards,
hours to minutes
There is, therefore a feeling in Of
| fetal, as well as in civic circles that
after the automobile plants have full
filed their obligations and handed
over to the government whatever ia
cilities are necessary for the manu-
facture of munitions, they can best
fulfill their duty to help win the war
by building plenty Of cars.
Thus, this year will see many OF
our factories busy night and day
supplying the boys lover there with
their requirements and the folks left
behind with theirs. In both these
duties-to the soldier and to the civ
ilian-the automobile industry will be

LIBERTY MOTORS

PACKARD PEOPLE
Motor Company Spent ST.
100000 to Perfect This
Greatest of Motors,

The Packard Motor Car Companv
prior to the entrance of this country
INTO the war spent two years deyelo-
op1ng aviation motors and finally
evolved an al1-steel cylinder tvpe.
The Packard Motor Car Companv
spent close to $4,000, 900 in this work.
The Packard Motor Car Company in
June, 1917, sent its chief engineer to
Washington and the latter consulted
with members of the French and
English Commissions, and Govern
ment officials on aviation needs.
The Packard Motor Car Company's
design of aviation motor was consid-
cred excellent in every way except in
horsepower. The visiting experts
said that greater horsepower was re-
CURED with the same weight.
The Packard Motor Car COMPANY
had a reason for designing the motor
as submitted because the Government
required so severe a test that prob
ably only motor of the weight per
horsepower developed in the Packard
engineering department could hope tc
pass it.
| The Packard Motor Car COMPANY
| O1IOuSu us CItl0l engineer learned
from the visiting commissions that
for war work endurance was second
airy to speed, that the factors of safety
previously fixed by Washington would
have to be sacrificed perhaps by one
| half in order to give the motor ability
to drive the fighting planes at ex.
treme speed if only for brief time.
The Packard Motor Car Company
Immediately had it's chief engines
with capable assistants redesign the
motor in an apartment in the Will
lard Hotel in Washington. This worl
required six or seven days, and the
engineers largely embodied in the new
motor the engineering features devel
oped during the two years of expert
ment work in Detroit.
The Packard Motor Car Compan!
withdrew its name so that the motto
might be known as a national devel
lbpment, turned over the drawings anN
designs, together with its chief en-
gineer and such members of the en-
gineering apartment, its talents, tools
&C.. at the governments command
with the understanding that whateve
was handed over should be returnet
for Packard's uses and benefits afte

The Royal Cord Tire, made by the
United States Tire Co., is built up of
layer on layer of parallel fishcords
running diagonally across the tire,
the threads of adjacent layers, run
ming in the opposite direction. Each
individual cord is completely per-
meated with rubber and entirely sur
rounded by rubber, making friction
by the rubbing together of contiguous
cords impossible. It is this small
cord, multiple construction that makes
the Royal Cord leader among cord
tires of today-a tire of superior
resiliency and ability to absorb
shocks, a tire that does not blow out
and tire that gives Increased gaso-

One of the Striking Exhibits
of the Auto Show-Used

At the Truck Show at the Casino
one of the interesting exhibits will be
q three ton Riker in it's olive-drab
paint. It is one of a large number that
the Locomobile Co. is building for the
United States Army. With the ex-
ception of the radiator guard and rear
bumper, these are largely the same
machines as those that have done
such good work for the English
Army in France and for our own
Army on the Mexican border and for
hundreds of individual companies en-
gagged in the less bitter warfare of
business.
The heavy radiator protection and
bumper are made necessary by the
crowded condition of the roads of
Europe. An idea of the congestion
may be gained from the statement of
a spectator that during the attack at
,Werdun on the road from Paris there
was sixty mile long line Of constant
ly moving motor trucks and that al
no place was the distance between
trucks more than eighty feet. Forty
thousand of the motor trucks were in

ADVICE IS GIVEN

When you buy a used car, ask the
former owner for the instruction
book, which he will probably have
in his house, rather than in the car.
1t will give you is Of good informa-
ton. If he has lost it, write to the
factory of the makers, tell them that
you have bought one of their cars
second handed and want to take good
care of it, and so would like an in

One bit of advice which you will

Improving Architecture.

The citizen who builds can do much
to raise the general standard of our
homes by an understanding Of few
of the true principles of architecture.
The essentials are geometric planning,
good proportions, symmetry and judi
cious use of features of merely deco
rative character. Where possible, the
location of the house always should
be planned In relation to the site with
9 view to giving the house setting
by the planting of proper shrubs and
surroundings.
The prospective builder can advan
tageously study some of our leading
architectural publications with view
to familiarizing himself with the best
of various types Of homes and with
this knowledge he can do much to de-
mand better class of domestic archi-
lecture.

BUILDING PLAN WORTH WHILE
Neighborhood Always Best Where
Proper Attention is Paid to That
Highly Important Detail.

The average city allotment is spoiled
because little or no attention Is paid
to architectural merit by the realtor.
This is true because of the lack of
appreciation of good lines in the for
nation of building plan and its de-
tails Of elevation. The situation can
and will be saved when it is an appre-
ciated fact that the employment of ar
Nitectural, ability raises the standard
without increasing the cost, thus Civ
ing to the investor an asset which is
dependable and sure of realization.
both in actual value and desirability,
because of stability and refinement ex-
pressed in the building.
The neighborhood where street after
street is sold out without building OPP
erations being proceeded with or rigid
enforcement of intelligent approval Of
building plans, is sure to be disap-
pointing because of the lack Of unity
in the heterogeneous expression Of
ideas much of which Is so often very
bad in execution.
Some one has said that an ideal Is
the framework of fact. The aver
age person endeavors to express his
ideal in home surroundings, hence it
becomes business worthy of careful
study for the builder of houses to
make them really homes.
The best neighborhood in which to
live and rear family is one where
building activities are carefully guarded
and the homeseeker is assisted wisely
and prudently in building his highest
ideal of home according to his means.

STRAIGHT ROWS PROVE BEST
Give Most Attractive Appearance to
Garden, and in the End Also
Save Much Labor.

II the garden is made in straight
rows and in beds of uniform size and
shape 1t will not only present more
attractive appearance, thus adding to
the gardeners pride in his work, but
1T will be much easier to cultivate.
This latter fact is an important item
for consideration, as the average city
resident has none too much time in
which to cultivate his garden and the
work must be done If results are to
be obtained. Frequent blowing, as
much work as possible with the hoe,
and determination of every weed that
shows its head above the ground-all
these are necessary If the garden is
to produce to the limit of it's capac-
ity.
To insure that the rows will be per-.
fectly straight all that is necessary
Is a length of strong cord sufficient to
reach from end to end of the gardens
longest dimension. At each end of
the cord fasten a stout stake about
two feet long and sharpened at one
end so the stakes may easily. be
thrust into the soil.
In city and town gardens, where
the space is restricted, it is best to
have the rows run the long way of
the garden-north to south IL posi-
ble-planting several kinds of similar
ly grown vegetables. like green onions,
carrots, radishes, ETC., in the same
row.
If you plant such crops as beets,
radishes and onions in beds these can
be made four to six inches high by
digging narrow paths around the beds
with hoe and. throwing the soil upon
the beds.
When the drainage of the garden is
not good it is well to grow cabbage,
caulifiower and similar crops on small
ridges thrown up with spade or hoe.
Other crops, among them early peas
and celery. should be planted in shall
low trenches scooped out with hoe.
When these plants grow the soil is
gradually worked back around the
roots.
Since hoeing must start early and
sometimes when the soil becomes
caked above the planted seeds it is
necessary to break it, a few quick
growing radish seeds planted with
other sorts will quickly spring up
and show where the rows are.
