CAMPSF0RCING
AUTO DELIVERY
Delivery Horse Disappears
in Communities Near the
Big Environments.

Many communities adjacent to the
big military training camps have
found it necessary TO make radical
changes in their former methods Of
doing business TO handle the increase
in trade as a result Of their greatly
enlarged population. This has neces-
STATED complete motorization OF de-
liveries in many places. An instance
OF this fact is told by the Overland
dealer in Chattanooga. Tenn. In this
case a delivery wagon was simply
put in service on trial and resulted
in the purchase Of a fleet Of them.
Last summer, when the training
camp opened up" said H. s. Smith
manager Of the Overland-Chatta-
nooga company. in writing Of this &C
cOmpiishment, our best retail sales
man entered the camp. with several
other men from our organization.
which left Us short handed At this
time we heard that a local laundry
had received the contract Tor the
laundry work at the camp and would
need additional delivery service to
handle the business.
"On the strength OF this informa-
ton, we simply filled up a panel de-
livery car we had on hand, with oil
and gasoline. and turned IL over TO
them with instructions 10 put il into
regular service and keep their own
record Of operating cost so it might
be compared with that OF two small
cars and a larger car they already
had in service. The car was run $50
miles before we heard from the COM
Dany. After this thorough trial they
instructed US to figure on a complete
installation OF delivery cars, replacing
their entire equipment"

MILEAGE
BY CORD TIRES
Tire Wear Jumps Quickly
From No Guarantee to
the Most EXacting.

Back in the early days Of automo-
bile tires almost any mileage was sat
sfactory-nobody expected a tire 10
run very far. anyway. Then a little
later tires were developed that would
run 1000 miles, and even $500 miles
In fact for a number OF years num-
Der OF tire manufactures made this
definite mileage guarantee. But no
body today is satisfied with this mile
age. except where road conditions are
very severe or the service extremely
exacting.
Cord tires have boosted mileage
greatly. Almost invariably they de-
liver greater mileage than fabric
tires A car owner who has taken
advantage OF their increased riding
comfort and mileage is DR.. Frederick
g. Percy. OF Boston. Mass, from
whom the Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Co has Just received the following
letter.
you may be interested in the cord
tire which I have just taken off ny
Franklin after running 1900 miles.
It has not been favored in any way.
I have toured through Maine and
other parts OF New England and the
tire has been in active service every
day since the car was bought
would not have believed that ? tire
could render such service It may be
Of interest TO other car owners %

Gears Slipping Out OF
Place Traceable Mostly
To Improper Meshing

The slipping OF transmission gears
out Of mesh is something that nearly
every owner has 10 experience sooner
or later. according TO a recent article
in Motor Life. There are several
causes. The locking mechanism
which holds the sliding gear In mesh
with its mate on the countershaft
may be worn or broken or out OF ad-
justment Usually the locking mech
ansim consists Of notching the shifter
rod at Just the right place and fore
ing a ball into II by means OF spring
Thus in a three speed gearboN hotn
shifter rods would have three notches-
One rod would have them for hlgh
neutral and second. and the other
for low. reverse and neutral
Sometimes the springs pressing the
balls become weak or break or the
plug nut retaining the spring be-
comes lost or the edges Of the notch
become rounded off Any Of these
defects interferes with perfect align
ment Of the gears and thus produces
the tendency to throw them out Of
mesh. In fact, any trouble Of this
sort may usually be traced 70 i'm
proper meshinE. Shifting forks out OF
adjustment. play in the shifting
mechanism, worn gear teeth or worn
or sprung shafts may cause TINS
trouble. Worn teeth is the most fire.

interested in automobile development,
being in close proximity to actual

opportunity 10 observe the present
types Of cars under the hardest con-
ditiOns- From the observations thus
made. it is quite clear that future de-
velOpments must be along the lines
of lighter weight. greater nexibility
and more economical operation. The
fact that direct air cooling is partic-
ularly adapted to these requirements
undoubtedly accounts for its growing
popularity among European automo-
bile engineers

IS
NOT PROBABLE
All Efforts Failures to
Find Compound to Take
Place of Rubber.

Fred II Lazenby. manager Of the
Boss Rubber company. received a tel
egram Friday morning announcing an
advance in all KeIly-Springfield tires
would become effective May 90
This is the natural result follow
ing the announcement Of the restric-
tion OF the Importation Of rubber"
said Mr.. Lazenby. "The factories do
not know what amount they viii get
during the coming year and with the
prospect Of a big decrease in raw ma
terisl prices are bound TO jump"
DO you believe there is a proba--
biIity OF some. substitute being USED
for rubber in the manufacture OF
tires2' Mr.. Lazenby was asked
NO. Expert auto men have tried to
find a successful substitute for rub
Der in the tire business until the field
seems TO have been thoroughly COW
cred. and nothing in any considerable
degree favora ble has been the result.
In England they are using a leather
rubber compound that is claimed TO he
a success. None OF the English tires
have been used in the United States,
and the general opinion OF American
experts is that the English compound
does not take the place Of rubber hut

tons
1T is certain that the Germans have

complish this in America have failed
Not long ago while IN Chicago I heard
Of a firm that claimed to have discoV-
cred the long sought substitute for
rubber tires. I investigated and found
il was all in their mind-theoretical
and Impractical, a leather composition

THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT

THE motorist who wants TO test his
gasoline for purity may find the
following usefuL Put some gasoline
in bottle and add a little concen-
trated sulphuric acid. Shake the bot
tie well at intervals for three or four
hours. The acid viii form a distinct
layer or stratum. drawing into itself
all the impurities in the fuel. so that
the degree Of discoloration found in
the acid viii be a measure Of the
purity Of the gasoline. A useful test
to determine whether gasoline has
corrosive properties IS to drop i'm the
tluid bit Of copper. II the copper
turns blue or green, the assumption
is that the gasoline contains corrosive
elements.

but none are Of more Importance than
the greater simplicity and lighter

CINE In view OF the difficulties en-
countered in getting sufficiently large
quantities Of gasoline and tires TO Eu-
