When Dreams Come True;
Motors Make Spotless Town

"The dreams of a decade ago are
coming true and bid fair to come true
in every town and city in our fair
land" says George Stowe, president of
the Mitchell company, of New York.
Ono dream was of spotless town with
out horses or animals of any kind. The
high prices of horse feed and the lack
of horses are making this come true.
Motor trucks are doing the heavy
hauling, where hundreds of horses for
merly were used. and passenger auto
mobiles are replacing the horse and
buggy. In fact, the change has already
come. Sometime when you have an
hour to spare. stand on a busy corner
in the downtown section of this CITY
and count the number Of horses and
wagons that pass.
"You will find so few that it will sur
prise you. Even the junkmen use some
kind of an automobile. have never
had doubt Of the final victory of the
motor car in its every branch in the
battle to drive horses. with their un-
clean habits, off the roads of America.
"Motor cars. motor trucks. motor
tractors and motor-driven machinery Of
every character are revolutionizing the
world to-day, and the farmer, using all
OF them, will one of these days mount
into the air in a motor driven airplane
ana travel to great distances"

Fad" Attachments Held
To Be Needless Waste

Judging by the large number Of
automobiles on the highways and city
streets doing utilitarian work, it is
evident that many motorists have cut
out all unnecessary riding, have
stopped buying fad automobile
equipment and are putting the money
thus saved to good use, such as buy
ing War Saving Stamps" says A. M.
Robbins, general manager of the
Chalmers Sales Company. Inc.
Generally speaking. the utility of
the motor car is we'll known. It's
proper use should not be curtailed
or discouraged. We could not get
along without tho motor car to-day.
However. there are many things that
motorists can get along without.
I'VE see some cars so loaded down
with junk and alleged accessories that
it Is wonder that they run at all.
Some of these accessories frequently
give more trouble than the car itself.
for they get out Of order and rattle.
"These things cost money and very
few save money in the long run. Many
can easily be classed as general nui-
sances. If they were of real value to
a, car manufacturers would put them
on as standard equipment. Never lose
sight of the fact that car makers are
always endeavoring to improve their
product, AMI as fast as an article of
merit appears on the market it is
adopted by some makers at least"

Meeting to Settle the
Question Of Legal
Headlights

ALBANY, June 22.-Secretary Of
State Francis NJ. Hugo announces q
hearing to be held at his office at AL
bany Tuesday afternoon to discuss the
proposed uniform specifications for
automobile headlight tests. All manu-
facturers of automobile headlights and
headlighting devices who have I'D to
the present time submitted samples
of their product to Mr.. Hugo for test
in compliance with the new automobile
headlight law in this state have been
notified Of the hearing and have been
asked to have their representatives
present
A list of automobile headlights and
rotary of State Hugo will become
available to the general motoring pub
lie very soon. 1t is Mr.. Hugo's inten-
ton to convey this information to
motorists by sending the list of ac-
ceptable lights to all newspapers, mo-
toring magazines, traffic squads, chiefs
Of police, justices of the peace, boards
Of safety, automobile clubs and SINH
lar organizations throughout the state
An additional list will probably be is
sued early in the fall to cover such
lights as are subsequently submitted
The uniform specifications in rela-
ton to the headlights, which will come
up for general discussion and sugges-
ton at Tuesdays meeting, have been
prepared by Mr.. Hugo after carefully
going over the ground with technical
experts. The specifications are natu-
rally couched in technical language
and cover the subject in an exhaustive
way. The conditions Of acceptablity
Of any light in this state under the
law have been clearly defined.
In the last few weeks Mr. Hugo has
been getting in touch with the secre-
taries of other states, in order that he
might become better acquainted with
what these states have done up to the
present time along headlight matters.
There appears to be a general in.
clination on the part of motorists tc
have already written Mr.. Hugo, asking
if this or that light meets with the re.
quirements of the law.

Government Subsidy for
Japanese Who Buy Cars
When the Pneumatic Tire
First Came to the Front

One Of the spectators at the first
pneumatic-tired bicycle race was W. b.
Harding, head of the Indianapolis plant
of the United States Tire Company.
The race took place at track meet
in Ireland in the late summer of 1889.
bicycle racing was popular in Great
Britain at the time and at this par
ticular. meet the best wheelmen of the
prominent clubs participated.
Much interest and surprise were
evidenced" says Mr.. Harding, in a
little booklet, giving the history of the
events Of the day, Mr.. DuCros and his
two sons appeared Ion the track with
bicycles equipped with what seemed to
everybody at the time to be balloon
tires, and a good deal Of comment of
a rather sarcastic nature was made re-
garding them. -.
"The tires justified their introduction
right from the start, however, as the
DuCroses we're placed first, second and
third in every race in which they took
part. They followed up their success
ON this track by further astonishing
demonstrations in different parts Of the
country, SO quickly convincing the rid
ing public of Great Britain of the
LucIlLS VI Luc pHSuAunCIC Clic sudC Oc-
fore the end of 1890 every bicycle
made was equipped with them.
Although Robert w. Thompson was
the first inventor of the pneumatic tire,
so little use was made of his patent
that all credit for the introduction of
the pneumatic tire in connection with
modern vehicles should be given to DR..
Dunlop, the Irish veterinary surgeon,
who revived and revised tha pneumatic
tire, and who was granted patent for
his invention. which was later held
invalid because of the priority OF
Thompson's claims. To this day the
Dunlop tire is practically the only one
manufactured in England, and Messrs.
DuCros control it's destinies."
With these tires as the first; step,
the tire industry took quick leap
forward and soon this country led the
world in quality and quantity Of pro-
duction. The three American COM
panies which quickly gained promi-
nence were Morgan & Wright, the
G. and j. Tire Company and the Hart
ford Rubber Works Company, which
to-day are three of the great automo-
bile tire producing factories in the
United States Tire Company's system.

Purchase Price and An
nual Upkeep Both
Partly Paid

Japan has offered to every buyer of
an automobile or truck In the empire
$500 toward the purchase price and
$3.50 yearly to help pay for the main
tenance of the vehicle, in exchange for
the privilege of speedily commander
ing motors when the occasion de-
mands, according to the foreign sales
department of the B. F. Goodrich Rub
Der Company.
This subsidy is intended to promote
the use of automobiles and to encour-
age their manufacture within the en-
pire. In Nippon most of the trucking
is done by men who pull two-wheeled
carts. and most of the passenger traf-
fic on the streets and highways is by
means of jinrikishas. A more general
use Of motor vehicles would release
thousands of men for work in fac
tories.
1t will be several years before Japan
will be able to produce anywhere near
her own needs in motor vehicles and
accessories. Only three concerns in
Japan are now building automobiles
One of these has made about half a
dozen cars and another is assembling
from parts imported from America.
