AUTO TRAVEL GROWS
 50 PER CENT STATE
 ROAD BUREAU HEADS

Highway travel by means of the passenger automobile has increased during the present summer fully 50 per cent, according to figures which have been compiled by the national road bureaus at the A. A. A. Wash ington and New York city headquar- ters. The increasing number of road journeys has resulted from over crowded trains and the difficulty of assured accommodations and conven- fences except to a comparatively linn tied number of travellers.
 While percentage of the road trips has had to do with vacation periods, a preponderating quantity has related to commercial necessities and a conse- quent saving in time obtained by un- interrupted door to- door trips says Ed Babbitt of Rabbit Bros, distribu ters of Hupmobile cars here. Auto Use Is Urged. Director General of Railroads Me Adoo has just issued a statement in regard to railroad travel. calling upon the public generally to use passenger 1 train service at the lowest minimum McAdoo thus presents the case:
 Among the many patriotic duties of the American public at this time is the duty to refrain from travelling unnecessarily. Every man, woman and child who can avoid using pas senger trains at this time should do so. l earnestly hope that they will do so.''
 Chairman Carl G. Fisher of the A. A. | A. touring board makes this comment | upon McAdoo's plea:
 ! With rail lines congested by essen- ! tial freight haulage, it is the duty of 1 everyone to cut down his use of this utility, and of course the only answer 1 is the highway and the self propelled vehicle which now can show anew it's | ability to abridge distances and quick ] ly transport people from one place to i another in the necessary transaction Of their daily duties.
 Used Much In West Tn the middle west it is the expected thing for the average passenger car owner to employ his vehicle in prac- tically all of his town to- town journeys whether they be within the state or into an adjoining commonwealth. The sit uation has demonstrated unequivo- calv the great need in every state of a state plan of state built and state maintained highways, and if the coun- try as d whole were thus equipped al the present time it would mean the saving of millions of dollars, -whicf could be invested in Liberty loans anC other helpful forms of financing the
 great expenditures which we mus
 meet
 Tt is my belief that every American soldier who returns from France, after
 having personally seen and traveie'
 over it's great highway system, vii
 be a forceful and persistent advocate
 to establish similar situation in ou
 country. even though it may be man,
 times the size of the prosperous ma ; tion which has benefited so thorough, from the good roads wisdom of a ger tain Napoleon Bonaparte."

JAPANESE RuRRER

The rapidly growing importance of thc rubber industry in Japan is hdi- cated iu the steady increase of raw rIhhcr imports into that country. Japanese official trade returns show an increase Of rubber imports for 1917 Oi sixty per cent over this of 1915.
 \ large part of the automobile tires uscd arc imported from overseas, the Coodyssr Tire & Rubber Company, sstng a large share of the coun- try's needs. The great demand for ruo- Ter goods has greatly encouraged do~ nestle rubber manufacture and a good share of the nations rubber needs ar6 being supplied by domestic manufac- turers lu fact, the Japanese are now. actually exporting rubber products thicrlv tc China, Australia. South America, and the South Pacific Islands. Al present the principle exports are tires for bicycles and rikishas, and all though no accurate estimate of the tS- port value is announced, the total is ttought to be quite large.

10 PREVENT SKIppING

There is an old traffic law in Argen- tina that requires motorists to keep one steel studded tire on the front and one on the opposite rear wheel, to prevent skidding. It is of intrest to note that the use of Goodyear All Weather Trea l tires is held by the authorities to be in harmony with the spirit of the law
 Motorists are not permitted to use chains on their tires in Buenos Aires

OVERSIZE TIRES

That the use of oversize" tires is the part of economy is emphasized in the experience of J. F. Tomlin. a prominent merchant and cotton buyer of Oakland, Tenn. He reports that two 90X315 and two 31X4 Goodyear tires placed on his Ford car early in the spring, have now given more than 10000 miles of service and are still in operation.

this department for special informa- ton about keeping the engine going after it is apparently all in" and ready for the junk pile.
 Many of the old cars can be re- juvenated by the addition of modern accessories designed to do this very thing New ignition equipment, new carbureter and fuel feed equipment are made for replacement purposes, for just such a purpose as we are discussing. No matter how old a car may be it can be made to give a fair degree or service.
 Used Cars Last Long
 Few owners ever stop to think that the car they trade in is put in shape by the service station and resold to q man who keeps it many years.

Mail Early, Wrap Securely and
Address Plainly all Parcels

The timeliness of gifts, depends
upon their being received on or be-
fore Christmas day; early mailing
will insure this, whereas the practice
of mailing parcels late, in hope that
thew reach their / destination Christ
mas day is likely to defeat it's own
object thru an unavoidable delay and
to the consequent congestion of the
mails.
Therefore, please mail early, wrap
securely, and address plainly all par
cells.
Parcels weighing seventy pounds
may be sent by mail one hundred
fifty miles and parcels weighing fifty
pounds may be sent everywhere, with
in the borders of the United States.
A parcel not exceeding eighty-four
inches in length and girth combined,
may be sent by parcel post.
The insuring of parcels is an I'M
portant feature of the parcels post
system, particular attention being in
vited to the three cent fee for parcels
for which in the event of loss, the
sender desires no more than $500 in
den1nity. 81

intending to divorce him later and
marry her soldier finance who is in
France. But things begin to happen
and plans are changed.

men Arms Made on Island Used
ut Chateau Thierry.

The most rousing meeting of en-
ployes in the history of Rock IS
land arsenal occurred recently.
when Colonel L. T. Hillman, com
handing officer, presented the night
shift in the armory with the bronze
medals, emblematic of constant ser
vice on the job for one month.
During the course of the presen-
tation speech Colonel HilIman in
formed the men that in the battle
Of Chateau Thierry, when Ameri-
can troops, with magnificent cour-
age and fighting ability, stopped
the Huns on their march toward
Paris, the United States regulars
used Springfield rifles manufactur-
ed at Rock Island arsenal
AS Colonel Hillman announced
this fact, the crowd broke into a
ringing cheer and continued the
applause for several minutes.
This news from the front" de-
clared the commanding officer,
shows each one OF you that you
are really functioning to aid the
American soldier at the front The
weapons you have made with your
hands were directly responsible for
the glorious victory of American
arms in the operations around
Chateau Thierry this summer. The
parts that you are manufacturing
are being sent direct to France to
be used in the repair of those rifles
III
the news that you are actually
maintaining the fighting front Of
the American armies by your work,
all of you, l am sure, will return to
your work with new zest and deter
minatiOn to stay on your job until
the American army is through with
its Job"
A similar demon stration greeted
Colonel Hillman at shop Nj. when
he presented the medals there. Sew
eTal hundred employees gathered to
receive the honor badges from the
commanding officer.
THE employees Of this shop" said
Colonel Hillman, are playing a
vital part in this war The gun
which we know as the French TO-
is one of the most effective, if not
the most effective, that has been
developed during the war. The re
operators for this gun, which you
are manufacturing here, are going
direct to General Pershing in
France. and many are now in use
at the battle front.
During my stay in France I was
told by representatives of the
French government in charge OF
building these guns that they
doubted If the guns could be built
in the United States. I told them
to send us the drawings and the
guns would be forthcoming. I also
promised a certain number of guns
by Nov. /. In order to keep this
promise it will be necessary for
every man in this shop to keep con
stantly on his Job. l know that
none of you want the French gov
eminent to believe that the United
States cannot make good on its
promise of munitions"
