if this is bad, no retread however well put on, will add sufficient mileage to the tire to warrant the expense in volved
 But where the tire has had good care and the fabric is uninjured, a retread is a profitable investment Many thousands of miles are added to tire life in this manner. Before dis carding old tires, they should be taken to a competent vulcanizer for eXamina- tion. Perhaps, a new tread, or new section can be built into a tire, that will greatly increase it's length of service.
 "Vulcanizing treads on used tires has reached so great a degree of per lection that even racing drivers are using retreaded tires. In the past rac- ing drivers have never used tires that have undergone any kind of repairs only new tires were considered safe. But that retreaded tires are a success on the race track is abundantly proven in the experience of Louis Chevrolet, who during the winter season won several races on the western coast on retreaded Goodyear cord tires.
 Tn the interests of conservation every motorist should first consider the advantages of a retread before sending to the scrap heap his old tires.'

TRUCKS USED BY
 EXPRESS COMPANY
 BET WIEN CITIES

The recognition which the motor truck is winning as fast and de- pendable carrier of inter- city ship merts is instanced by the American Express company's decision to handle all express shipments between Cleve- land and Akron by motor truck.
 The Knutsen Motor Truck company of Cleveland secured this express con- pany business on it's ability to fur- nish faster and more economical transportation. Operating IA Packard trucks of big capacity, this hauling contractor is able to make delivery between the two cities in four hours; by rail it takes at least day under normal conditions, considerable. more in present traffic conditions. The rail- road rate with pickup charges is AT cents per 100 pounds; Knutsen has contracted to haul all shipments for 40 cents a hundred weight
 Of the 50,000 tires which are manu- factured daily in Akron, very few now are shipped out by rail. Most of the big tire companies either make de- livery by motor truck direct to their branches or ship to Cleveland by mo- tor truck for rail distribution from | there. Since most of the materials coming into the Rubber City are handled similarly, motor truck traffic between these cities is very heavy. A traffic census made on tfis road some time ago showed that during a l period of 72 hours 507 motor trucks passed the point of survey.

PACKARD ARMY
 TRUCKS RUSHED.
 IN SIX TRAINS

Running during the night hours only, and under as near war zone conditions as this peaceful section of America can provide. six trains of Packard army trucks destined for ser vice with Perishing in France are pushing forward from Detroit to an Atlantic port. The convoy consists of 252 Packards and the trains are 2z hours apart.
 Except that they use their lights and are not bothered by sudden gusts of shrapnel or other attentions from Fritz, the truck companies are pro ceeding as if in the immediate neigh borhood of the front.
 The soldier drivers, 7S men to a train, make camp by the roadside wherever dawn greets them, cook their meals on field ranges carried in the trucks. and chamber into the three ton carriers for their days sleep. As soon as breakfast is finished in the evening they swing the big khaki col ored trucks into the road again and hit out toward the seaboard.
 First Night Run
 Beside the equipment of the soldiers there is a 15-day ration aboard for each man-the trucks carry loads of parts, also destined for the Ameri : can expeditionary force.
 This is the first night run of 9 series in which the quartermaster' s department of the United States army is giving the drivers a foretaste of the work they will be called on to do over : seas. As in the case of the first de. livery of trucks from factory to sea board under their own power. Pack ard trucks are given the honor of pio- neering the right drives. Another in- novation is that each of these truck companies numbers IA more trucks than those which have been making the daylight run.
 Cooperating with the quartermaster's corps in the new drives as in the old are the highway transport committes at Washington, and the state highway commission.

 Three hundred and forty thousand people in the state hold bank deposits of over seventy million dollars.

TINY STOVE FOR SOLDIERS

The tiny Japanese stove, known as kwairo, designed for the pocket or for bed use, is said to have done much to lessen the winter sufferings of Rus sian soldiers during the war. It is described as resembling a metal cigar case. Its fuel, invented about a thirc of a century ago and variously jim proved, is made in hard or soft saus- age-like rolls, one of which burns for three hours, giving sufficient heat to relieve freezing or 'benumbed parts of the body.

LIBERTY CARS
 WIN LOYALTY 1T
 THEIR OWNERS

No small part of the unusual loyalty the vigilance of the company in seeing that leach Libe.Ny car reaches the buyer in first class running order
 In order to make certain that the car is in perfect operating condition when it enters the service of the own CT, the company employs a unique plan of dealer inspection. At the time the dealer makes this final inspection, he is required to check up and report to the company on each of the cars fea- tures
 AS it is necessary that everything operate perfectly, he detects the neces- sity for any little minor adjustments at the tic7e, and sees that they are properly made.
 Consequently, the performance of the car is uninterrupted by any of the trifling' little incidents which are the
 ordinary experience of the owners of new cars. Right from the start | Liberty owners enjoy a performance
 up to the usual Liberty standard ot
 excellence
 Additional Expense | 1llS Iilldl llSiu iuopeCtloH HdluIdllS represents an additional expense which | is gladly borne by the company, as il gives added assurance that the cal

 The company finds that this method 1 detects in advance the necessity fol | those important little adjustments which might ordinarily be left for the
 owner to discover. As they would theI have to be corrected anyway, the in- spection which makes sure they ar' corrected in advance just saves tn,
 owner the inconvenience of bringing
 his car into the service station later and increases the satisfaction he find in using it.

ARMY ENVIRONMENTS
 CAUSE INCREASE IN
 DEMAND FUR TRUCKS

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 en- large population.
 This has necessitated complete mo- torization of deliveries in many places. An instance of this fact is told by the Overland dealer in Chattanooga, Tenn. In this case an Overland De- livery Wagon was simply put in ser vice on trial and resulted in the pur- chase of a fleet of them, messenger car to the owner and the entire re- placement of all other motor equip ment by Overland cars.
 Last summer, when the training camp opened up," said H. H. Smith, manager of the Overland Chattanooga company, in writing of this accom- plishment, "our best retail salesman 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 for the laundry work at the camp and would need additional delivery service to handle the busi- ness.

 "On the strength of this information, we simply filled up a Panel delivery car we had on hand, with oil and gaso- line, and turned it over to them with instructions to put it into regular ser vice and keep their own record o1 1 operating cost so it might be com- | pared with that of two small cars and a larger car they already had in ser vice. The car was run 975 miles be- | fore we heard from the company After this thorough trial they in- structed us 10 figure on a complete in stallation of Overland cars, replacing 1 their entire equipment.

Horse Eats Tod Mueh

One automobile enthusiast Las pointed out that the horse eats so much that there would be an imme- diate demand for his destruction were it possible to replace him quickly for the work which must be done. By way of statistics this enthusiast points out that while only 60,OO0,000 acres of farm lands in this country are de- voted to wheat growing, 41,000,000 acres are given up to oats and 54,000,- 900 acres to hay, two articles of diet which are essentially horsefeed. Ninety-fiVe million acres for horse tfeed and only sixty million for wheat in these times when every acre counts, shows altogether too much favoritism Lo the horse. in this mans opinion.

HORSE HAS NEW
 LEASE IN LIFE FUR WAR TIMES

The war has given the horse new lease on life in the losing battle which that animal is wagiDg to prevent the automobile from forcing it into ob- livion along with the pterodactyl and mastodon.
 Three years ago the number of horses in America began to dwindle and last year no less a partisan of the horse than the secretary of agriculture said in his annual report: Slowly but surely the auto truck is driving dray horses from the city streets. AL ready the automobile has effectually put the driving horse off the country roads, The farm demand for several years has been the mainstay of the horse market
 But Wst at the moment that the automobile had the horse dangling over the ropes ready to sag under the fin- ishing wallop. America entered the war, and under the stimulating effect of heavy demand for cavalry horses and for increased motive power throughout the nation, tired Mr. Equus got back his wind and now is battling away with all four feet de- termined to last out several more rounds.

RETREAD|NC b|C ITEM IN LIFE OF
 TIRE GOODYEAR

If motorists were better acquainted with the advantages of having their tires retreaded when not worn through the carcass, many miles would be added to the tire life" is the declafa- tion of the Phoenix branch of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company.
 "A re-tread can greatly extend the usefulness of a tire carcass that has had good care, but tire that has been soft" overloaded or tread cut, or mis- treated in other ways, can not profit ably be repaired.
 "If a tire is run underflated it will probably be stone bruised or weakened in the sidewalks. If run overloaded it will be in the same condition, except that the trouble will show closer to the bead of the tire. If tread cut, the carcass is likely to be perforated with glass cuts. nail holes or the fabric routed from moisture seeping in through the tread cuts, and the plies Of fabric separated from each other.
