Making a Car Combine
Energy With Economy

"Now that public opinion has set it's
seal on the motor car as an essential
factor in the development of more man
power by its ability to save time and
energy, the next step to be considered
by the manufacturers is to build for
combined power and conservative gaso-
!ene use" was the recent comment of
W. A. Woods, president and GEN
eral manager of the Van Cortlandt
Vehicle Corporation, Eastern distrib-
utter of the Peerless "eight."
ITO further explain how this-can be
done successfully, the Peerless two
power range furnishes an example.
Here we have the combination Of
economy at ordinary speeds, with a
reserve force and power when the occa-
sion demands. For ordinary, every dav
driving the car performs on half ra-
tions. When the emergency arises. =
is away like fash.
"rhis dual personality fits aptly into
the spirit Of the times. The driver NAV
be patriotic in the conservation Of
gasolene without having to sacrifice
any efficiency when occasion demands
instant and quick action. Considering
the admirable performance at the pres
ent price, the Peerless affords a strik-
ing example of the motor car ideally
adapted for present day demands"

Debated Tires Cost
Heavily in Engine
Power

An investigation just concluded by
the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company
discloses interesting data on "Wherc
is the greatest loss Of power in auto
mobile operation
A test conducted with a 2,7O0-pound
automobile showed the power loss dis
tributed as follows: Front wheels, 81
per cent; rear wheels, 80 per cent;
front bearings, per cent, and rear
bearings Gncluding transmission me-
chanism up to neutral gcar), 80 per
cent. Thus nearly two-thirds of the
power is absorbed through the tires.
Trcsc. figures show the prime impor
tance of proper imitation, since so much
Of the power is expended through the
tires.
To prove greater power is needed to
pull under-infated tires the test was
continued. The apparatus used consist
ed of rollers rn which car was mount
ed. The car was anchored and the rollers
we're driven by an electric motor.
The amount Of power required to turn
the rollers with the tires inflated to
eighty pounds was determined; then
the tires were debated to thirty pounds,
and the amount Of power needed was
again recorded. 1t Was found from the
test that fully 20 per cent more power
was needed on the under-infated tires
This test also proved that the abb
sorption Of power by the tire caused
tremendous rise in the temperature
Of the tire. Tire experts agree that
internal heat and friction are the
greatest destroyers Of tires, and that
this heat is greatly augmented by
under imitation.
Another test proved conclusively the
folly of under-infation. 1t was made
in this manner: A car with low in
flated tires was run one-half hour at
the rate Of forty miles an hour.
Analysis then showed the temperature
of the tires to be just 80 degrees higher
than when the run was started. Low
imitation always causes greater tire
fcxure, and the greater the hexure the
greater the heat generated, as it takes
power to generate heat The power
generated by the engine is thus lost
because the heat is dlssipated into the
air. Summing up, maximum power
from your engine. and minimum con-
sumption of gasolenc are only to be
had with properly inflated tires.

[Staf Correspondence

ALBANY, April 6.-In the midst of
the confusion which surrounds the clos
ing days of the Legislature, when leg
islators arc paying little attention to
anything else except the measures in
which they have personal interest,
Senator Charles ]. Hewitt introduced
bill forbidding the use Of the public
highways to tve-ton motor trucks.
The measure, if it becomes law, will
not only result in crippling all sorts of
business, but will prohibit the use of
the army motor trucks in New York
State.
The bill was introduced on Tuesday
at the request of the State Department
of Highways. Business men interested
III the defeat of the measure were led
to believe that the bill would be killed
quietly. Yesterday it was suddenly ad-
vanced to the order of third reading
and will be moved for final passage
Monday night or Tuesday.
Trucks Widely Used
Records in the office of the Secretary
of State show that more than 5000
tve-ton motor trucks were licensed by
the state last year. The average cost
of the trucks is $4,000, so that the in
vested capital in the trucks alone in
wolves S15,000,000. 1t is estimated that
upward of half billion dollars would
be the actual loss sustained by bust
ness men in the event of the act be-
coming a law.
These trucks arc used by all big
milk companies, farmers, coal COM
panies. produce dealers, oil companies.
brewerles, express companies, big
manufacturing concerns and depart-
ment stores.
Their use has increased greatly
since the war started owing to the
congestion of the freight traffic, and
representatives Of owners of motor
trucks who were here to-day declared
that the Hewitt bill, if enacted into
law, would do more to hamper the sue
cess OF the war than can be con-
jectured
Charles G. Bond, counsel to the
Motor Truck Club of America. who
acted as spokesman for the opponents
Of the measure, said that the bill was
a dlstlnct menace, not only to our SOL
dlcrs, but to the children of the state.
Would Cause Milk Famine
"If the bill becomes a law" said M,
Bond, "New York City, Buffalo and
other big cities will be confronted With
a milk famine. The milk companies
are now relying to large extent on
the five-ton motor trucks for bringing
the milk gathered in the rural sections
to the milk distributing plants in the

any too good, and this has been Off

Plain Duty Is to

By Harry ]. De Bear

good many of the motor car dealers
who attempted driveaways from their

and tribulations due to the neglected
roads, which could easily have BEEN
remedied by just little attention.

have to be hurried so, at this time, to

it would be the pride of the highwY
commissioner of each state to see
that at least the main state roads were
kept open twelve months in the year.
AT some places along the route from
Detroit to New York, probably the most
frequented highway for motor tratel,
some of the so-called Estate roads"
were in such deplorable condition that
caravans of automobiles were stuck

However, 1t was most gratifying to
find that in going through some Of tho
states the roads had been much more

who seemed to find great comfort IN
the fact that they were doing real
patriotic duty by keeping these roads

Calls New Mitchell
Car a Wartime Six

"1t has been said time and again that
Is per cent of the automobiles in use
to-day are used almost entirely for
business purposes, but I want to add
to that" says George H. Stowe, man.
ager Of the Mitchell Motor Company,
land give it as my opinion that within
six months more than 80 per cent of
the motor cars will be used for strictly
business purposes or for purposes that
are necessary to an ultimate victory in
the war.
For number Of years now out at
our Racine factory we have been striv-
ing toward lifetime car Several
Mitchells now in use have been driven
considerably more than 100000 miles,
with only the minor repairs and ad-
justments required by any piece of
mechanism.
But at that we are not satisfied
and when our country entered the fight
we decided then and there to build
Mltchells stronger, more powerful and
more lasting. Mitchell engineers were
instructed to give the cars more of
the rigidity and longevity necessary to
make victory reality; to make them
more comfortable, if that were pos
slble, for those who would find it nee
essary to sit behind the steering wheel
HOurS al q Clmc. AnOCner tactOr was
to make Mitchell motor cars evea more
simple in operation and more econoni-
cal, and with all these improvements
to hold the prlce down so that all who
found an automobile essential to their
business or to their war work could
make the investment without hardship
Thus, motor car owners did not find it
necessary to forego the patriotic pleas
ure of subscribing to the Liberty loans
anal the Y. M. C. A. and Red Gross
funds
"The new Mitchell six the 40
horsepower model, is to a large degree
a counterpart of its predecessor. the
Mitchell Junior; still, it is being built
under such different conditions and has
been reinforced and strengthened and
improved in so many ways that it is
in every sense of the word, wartime
car All of the improvements have
been made SO that this new Mitchell
could 20 out from our factory on it's
business of helping to win the war
with al! of US knowing and feeling
down in our hearts that it would nut
up good fight and would play an i'm
portant part in attaining victory"

Hewitt sMotor Truck Bill Would

Five on Vehicles, Under Proposed Law, Barred
From State Highways-Th his Means
Military Wagons

Hewitt bill would throw these fve-ton
motor trucks into the scrapheap.'
The-~United States government has
thousands of five -half-ton motor
trucks being made under contract for
use IN France. These trucks, as fast
as they have been made, have been sent
under their own power from the West
to New York City by way of Buffalo.
The State Highway Department claims
that these trucks are tearing up the
roads, and SO it proposes to stop the
army trucks from using the highways
or the state en- route to France, and
incidentally put all motor trucks whose
weight together with their loads equal
ten tons or more out of business All

are made necessary because of rail

"Only a few years ago there was
much opposition in rural communities s
to road building because these pesky
devil wagons tore up the highways
but there is no longer this feeling and
