The Giant hydro-pneumatic generator
makes the burning of kerosene possible
and practical and is a patented and ex-

generator uses $3.50 mixture OF kero-
sene and gasolene, and with the present
high price of gasolene no man with "A
transportation problem can afford to
saving in fuel is approximately 80 per
cent.
Giant trucks are built IN all sizes to
answer every hauling need. The specl-
fications include Thinker axles, ball and
roller bearings, Schebler carbureter for
the one and two ton trucks and Strom-
berg carbureter for the three and one

AS an evidence of the faith which the

in their trucks they issue a warranty
for n period OF one year from tho date
OF shipment OF any new truck chassis
and offer to replace at the factory, free
Of cost. except for transportation. such
parts of any chassis that shall prove to

In addition, c. 7. Silver, the New York
distributor OF Giant trucks, agree to

OF whether they are, guaranteed parts
or not, for the first thirty days. without
any charge whatever being made TO the

Giant trucks can be seen Mt the show

invitation to business men to send their
engineers to examine these trucks thor
oughly.
The service facilities are adequate to
all needs. The former Maxwell service
station. at Twelfth avenue and Fifty
fifth street, has been taken over Tor
this purpose and here a full stock of
parts will be carried at all times. The
question of immediate delivery is n vital
one to the average man who needs a
truck. and G. T Silver is In the enviable
position OF being able to make immed-

NEW TIRE REPAIR SERVICE.
American Corporation Opens Re-
pair shop TO Public.

The Government has requested that all
automobile owners have their old tires
that have blown out vulcanized and re-
paired so that every possible mile can
be gotten out of each and every tire
manufactured. This request is made in
order TO prevent a greater scarcity Of
new tires than already exists.
Chas. L. Eckcl president and general
manager Of the American Rubber Cor
poration with general Offices at 225 West
Fifty-seoond street, who are the makers
OF American Arrow tires and tubes. an
nounces that his Company has decided
to cooperate with the Government to the
extent or opening their own repair de-
partment TO the public. where they will

American Rubber Corporation. in their

Vitalizes the old rubber and forces thous

They also haveNa new method Of pre-
serving the original tread so that the

the ungainly look that most repaired
tires have, which plainly shows on the

cept the starter wires. which run TO the

II We desire to know how much water
is being pumped and the pressure, suit
able meters are installed. Likewise the
auto electric system usually is equipped
with an ammeter or anhpere meter. to
show the amount of current~passing, and
a volt meter to indicate the pressure
1t is not wise to carry the analogy TOO
far, as II might become confusing In
the electric system there must be a COM
plete circuit In order to have the current
flow. Thus, If there is n wire leading
from the battery TO any device, there
also must he a wire leading back to the
battery. The necessity for this return
circuit is not apparent in the case of wa
ter. and this might lead TO confusion
However, there Is a return water circuit
through the universal water supply, and
this might be compared to the grounded
wire electric system, where the return
current is made through the auto frame
to the battery.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
WINTER TIRE CARE
There Are Many Conditions
That Require Special
Attention.

How many motorists know that sharp
objects when wet cut tires much more
readily than when dry? Repair men
always wet their tools before cutting
away superfuous parts of patches.
Pieces Of Ice or frozen ridges of snow
injure tires to a much greater degree
than stones of equal sharpness.
This is only one of the extra mcnaces
that winter, which, in spite OF last week $
warm days is approaching, has for
tires. Another source OF tire damage,
especially harmful In winter. Is under
imitation. Motorists accustomed TO run
on less than the prescribed pressure dur
ing the summer months should discon-
tinue the practice with the first hint of
cold weather. Heat of the atmosphere
causing air expansion. and cold, con-
traction. pressure which may have been
sufficient to prevent tire injury during
the summer will not safeguard the tires
in cold weather.
The mental state OF winter motorists,
as well as conditions of road and eli
mate. makes the cold months a time OF
much sltidding. Persons who drive in
the cold and wet usually do so because
they have TO. and the discomfort causes
hi'h W sVctu more IMAM III the COM
fort OF warmer weather. Following a car
too closely, n motorist always runs the
risk OF having the preceding car stop
Unexpectedly. forcing him to n sudden
a7nlicst ton OF the brakes. and a conse-
quent skid The short stop made neces-
sary by the sudden appearance of an
other car from a side street also causes
skiddins
But even IL the greatest caution is
used In driving the winter motorist Is
stlll confronted with the probability of
skidding. Beside the old familiar diff
Guilty of ploughIng through streets filled
with snow. there Is the newer danger
brought about by the custom OF flushing
the streets at night. The water often
freezes, covering the pavements with a
ihir slippery sheetinE Of ice.
Skidding should be corrected in different
ways. according to the manner OF the
skid. II the front wheels are slipping
the brakes may be applied TO bring the
car gradually TO a standstill. n the
back wheels are skidding the driver
should never under any conditions apply
the brakes. He should allow the car to
coast. turning the front wheels in the
same direction as that in which the back
wheels are skidding.
Perhaps the worst winter experience
for a motorIst Is changing a tire. The
cold causing his hands TO tumble. makes
his task doubly difficult. To eliminate
this discomfort the New York Tire Ser
vice. Inc. Broadway and Slxty-sixth
rtreet. has Installed a system of service
cars which come on call to apply tires.

The Fourth Liberty Loan

Middlebury redeemed herself in the
Third Liberty loan, subscribing 2 l-2
times her quota, nearly all in small
amounts. The Third was the first loan
in which the records of each town were
kept separate. The Middlebury bank
ing district was behind its quota in the
First and Second loans.
The Third loan was subscribed during
the darkest days of the war. Its sue
cess showed our faith in ultimate vic
tory. Undoubtedly the Third loan and
the War Savings Stamp campaign
drained many purse, so that some
may be wondering how we will raise
our quota of nearly 100000 for the
Fourth loan.
The answer is that the Fourth loan is
being raised under the emblem of the
rising sun of victory. Money poured
into the National chest now helps
to roll up the enemy and to hasten the
end that is beginning. Every dollar
rushed to the front now may save
spending dozen later to do the same
work. We can well afford to go with
out even things we consider necessaIies
in order to over subscribe each quota.
Over subscription discourages the enc
my. While we may feel pinched by the
war our people are by far the best off
of any on the globe today. Besides
every dollar put into the war fund will
return to us with added comforts later
on.
We expect considerable portion of
the new loan to come from those of our
citizens who have not already sub
scribed for Liberty bonds in proportion
to their wealth. To those the Fighting
Fourth offers an opportunity which
none can afford to pass by. Yet it is
believed there is none so poor as to
find way to take at least small sized
bond in each loan offered The Nat
ional Bank of Middlebury will again Of
fer its assistance with IA per cent
rate in connection with Liberty bond
purchasers only, so not dollar will be
sacrificed in changing investments.
The loan drive begins September %
and runs three weeks, but the Vermont
State Chairman desires the subscrip-
ton to be completed during the first
week. Subscribe through the solicitor
sent to see you and do not put him or
her off.
