Commenting on the use of the auto
mobile In war times. the president Of a
large tire and rubber concern says:
THE government at Washington Is
doing some things that startle us be-
cause we do not have proper under
standing Of what its program is. Much
has been said about stopping the auto
mobiles. This Is all nonsense. The
government Is going to lay Its heavy
hand on the nonessential Industries,
but the rubber business and the auto
mobile business are not In that class.
They are essential industries.
Motors Wanted for War.
aust because In England and France
the use of automobiles had to be
checked II does not follow that we
have parallel conditions here. You
must remember that in England and
France they are dealing not with %
cent gasoline. but with 81 and sl25
gasoline. and that over there the man
power is exhausted. almost to the last
man. They have to get every man
available, even from the essential in
dustries, on the battle front. They
want the automobiles 10 run for gov
eminent purposes. When l was there
in 1915, they were already 'booing'
civilian automobiles along the streets
OF London.
Commercial Business to Expand.
"But we are not going TO get 10 that
point In this country. Here we have a
tremendous area. and great amount
of transportation Is necessary. The
railroads cannot carry 1t. The auto

the war to greater extent than we
have yet discovered. The commercial
end of the business will expand ire
mendously. More commercial cars will
be made than we have ever dreamed
Of. The JOY riders will be clipped of,
but that does not mean that the man

Eye Comfort Means Efficiency

In any kind of work. The man suffer-
ing from eye strain is never as efficient
as he whose eyes are strengthened by
properly selected glasses. If you have
to lean close to the desk, if you have
headaches and twitching eyelids you
need glasses at once. Come and have
your eyes examined for the right kind
in the right way.

INSPIRING At SLOW SPEEDS
Common Cause OF Complaint With
Usual carburetor Systen,--Go Over
Ignition Carefully.

Poor engine operation at low car
speeds is common complaint with the
usual carburetor system. Often an air
leak throws out the carburetor adjust
ment so that an insufficient amount of
fuel is fed. Wide plug gaps with a
magnetic with weak magnets is COM
bination which may give this trouble.
With a battery system in use the igni.
ton may be neglected at first and the
carbureuon attended TO, but this done
the ignition should be gone over care

TO The Public

opposed to the principle and policy Of
state ownership and development of water
powers, and feel that he time has come
when their side OF the case, their convic-
tions and their reasons for them, should
be presented with vigor, accuracy and
thoroughness.
They believe themselves to be neither
timiG nor unduly aggressive, neither more
nor less selfish than those who hold con-
trary opinions upon this same subject,
and believe that the people of Maine will
listen to their arguments in the spirit of
fair play and with an open mind. There
is but one way in which their story can
be told effectively and with propriety and
that is through the different mediums of
publicity. particularly the press. They
intend, therefore, to begin and conduct
at their own expense = campaign OF pub
licity throughout the entire State for the
purpose of undertaking to demonstrate
the economic folly, the impracticability
and the absence OF real necessity that in
their Judgment attends every phase OF
the plan to commit the State of Maine to
the unwise and dangerous policy of pur-
chasing and developing the water powers
within its borders. The argument in the
case as they see it, is not confined to one
side, and having an equal solicitude and
regard for what they conceive to be the
true welfare of Maine, they propose to
advance and defend their own views
upon this subject with every decent and
legitimate resource st their command.
The services OF Mr.. William NJ. Pennell
of Portland have been secured to conduct
the campaign herein outlined, and he will
have direct charge of placing the facts
before the public.
