OF
FIRE INDUSTRY
Came Into Prominence in
Race in Ireland
in 1889

One of the spectators at the first
pneumatic-tired bicycle race was w.
B. Harding, head OF the Indianap-
oils plant OF the United States Tire
Company.
The race took place at track
meet in Ireland in the late summer
of 1889. Bicycle racing was popu-
lar in Great Britain at the time and
at this particular meet the best
wheelmen of the prominent clubs
participated.
Much interest and surprise were
evidenced" says Mr.. Harding. in a
little booklet giving the history of
the pneumatic tire. when, for one
of the events OF the day. Mr.. Du-
Cros and his two sons appeared on
the track with bicycles equipped
with what seemed to everybody at
the time to be balloon tires, and a
good deal of comment of a rather
sarcastic nature was made regard
ing them.
THE tires justified their introduc-
tion right from the start. however,
as the DuCros were placed first, sec
ond and third in every race in which
they took part. They followed up
! their success on this track by fur
ther astonishing demonstrations in
different parts of the country. so
quickly convincing the riding pub
lie of Great Britain of the merits of
the pneumtic tire that before the
end of 1890 every bicycle made was
equipped with them.
Although Robert W. Thompson
was the first inventor of the pneu-
matte tire. so little use was made
of his patent that all credit for the
/ introduction of the pneumatic tire
in connection with modern vehicles
should be given to DR.. Dunlop, the
Irish veterinary surgeon. who revived
and revised the pneumatic tire and
who was granted a patent for his
valid because of the priority of
the Dunlop tire is practically the
only one manufactured in England
and Messrs. DuCros control its des-
tinies."
With these tires as the first step.
the tire industry took a quick leap
forward and soon this country led
the world in quality and quantity of
production. The three American
companies which quickly gained
dominance were Morgan & Wright.
the G.. & ]. Tire Company and the
Hartford Rubber Works Company,
which to-day are three of the great
automobile tire-producing factories
in the United States Tire Company's s
system.

U-Boat Failure Stirs
Wrath of the Germans

Washington. German public
opinion is incensed against the mill
tary leaders who led the nation into
the conduct of unrestricted subma-
rine warfare on the promise that 1t
would compel Great Britain to sue
for peace within six months. An
official dispatch from Berne, says:
TT is reported that. in German
political circles, the rumor is cur
rent that unrestricted submarine
warfare was only undertaken on the
formal assurance being given by
navy headquarters that it would
cause England to beg for peace in
six months.
The Pan-German newspapers
have always denied that this assur-
ance was given. The last number
OF the Review Das Grosser Deutsch-
land publishes an article by Deputy
Won Calip Massauen. of the Reich
stag. confirming the rumors which
have Just been recalled, and which
were relative to a conference on
August s, 1915. with the chiefs of
the parties of the Reichstag. Beth
mann-Hollweg affirmed that the sub
marines which Germany had at her
disposal, and those which would be
conStructed WITHIN SIX months would
be sufficient by March 1, 1915, to
conduct a successful submarine war
against England. The same conclu-
sions are reached in a memorandum
drawn by the chief of the admiralty
STAFF, Won Holzendorff. and handed
over. by the latter. to the Imperial
Chancellor on February IL, 1915.
The chief of the stan explained
why the submarine war offered. in
February, 1915, very much more fav-
oralble prospects than the year be-
fore. The following passage Is found
in the memorandum:
The new submarine warfare has
such means of action at its disposal
that, even taking into consideration
the increased means of defense of
the enemy. extraordinary results
may be depended upon. as we'll as the
certainty that England will see her
tonnage reduced to such a point
that, in the next six months at least,
she will be compelled to sign the
peace
The proved failure of the sub
marine warfare is causing keen irri-
tation among the German public to-
ward those who. by false promises.
nave led the nation astray."

Motor Car Goes
Through Big Test

A Chalmers was the first car to go
through Crawford Notch, New
Hampshire. this season: and, in maxi
ing the trip, proved itself worthy of
admiration. The trip was most un-
usual inasmuch as great quantities
OF snow and mud were encountered.
and 10 rained necessarily throughout
the journey.
1t was n surprise to the party to
md the ground at the Flume House
covered with snow. but 1t Continued
its way through Bethlehem, arriving
at the Mount Washington Hotel at
1O.5S in the morning.
Large and deep snowdrifts blocked
the way from Breton Woods to the
Crawford House. and the going was
Very dificult. No vehicle had been
through to break out a path. The
car had to make it's own path and
then go on. Sturdily, the car would
buck into drifts like q battering
ram. 1t would make a little head
way. and, then. with another good
start, would make further gains into
the drift.
As long as the rear wheels were
able to secure traction-the car
could tackle anything; but, when
the power could not be applied. when
the snow was so deep 1t would pack
underneath the chassis. raising the
rear wheels from the ground, 1t was
found necessary for the men to
/ shovel snow. At one time the snow
was so deep that as the men shovel
ed the car would simply settle down
farther. In order to surmount this
| difficulty the differential was locked
| by means of a rope tied to the left
hand rear and front wheels. Then
the rope on the right-hand side
of the car was tied to the forward
part of the right rear wheel, thence
to tree. The clutch was let in
! The wheel revolved one-half a revo-
luton. The car pulled itself ahead
q like distance. The car became
clear of the, drift after repeating this
| performance once or twice
In the best of the touring season
| the roads through Intervale, Bridg-
ton, Fryeburg and Naples to Poland
are admittedly the worst roads in
that region; butnever were the roads
| in such a condition as on that day.
| The frost was just coming out OF
the ground. The mud was a sight to
| behold. At the foot of hills the
water had settled in ponds. The
car was rushed through at the best
speed possible. Mud and water
splashed in every direction. The cur

cleats. The wooden frame prevents
the envelope from rubbing the fine
finish. or coming into contact with
IL at all. Even the interior OF the
car is protected. for the envelope
extends upward to the lower edge
of the top.
Recent photographs show q cam
ouf1aged Cadillac upon its arrival in
Baltimore. after having been driven
all the way from Detroit. In one
photograph the car is seen with its
envelopes mud bespattered. In the
other the covering has been remov-
ed, revealing the finish as resplen-
dent as the day the car was driven
out of the finishing room at the fac
tory. In this way a new car is turn
ed over TO the buyer with its exter-
Tor in as good condition as though
shipped in a box car; and with the
engine and, other parts sufficiently
run in to remove the mechanical
stiffness which characterizes a new
motor car.

car-Finish Protected
IN Driveway Delivery

Since freight congestion compels
that many motor cars be delivered
from factories to dealers under their
own power over the road, the in
genuity OF manufacturers and dealers
has been at work to devise an effec-
tiveway OF protecting the finish from
the effects OF road splashing.
Many methods have been pro-
posed. and the Cadillac Motor Car
Company believes the plan evolved
by its dealer at Baltimore to be one
of the most efficient.
A framework of light wood is at
tached to the car and over this is
placed an envelope. properly fitted.
AL parts of the car except the wheels
and the front tenders are protected
by waterproof material. which is

IDEA DEVELOPED
LEADS TOSUCCESS
Vice-President of Apperson
Bros. Tells of the New
Anniversary Model

The story of civilization is a
story of the development of an idea,"
said T. E. Jarrard. vice-president of
the Apperson Bros. Automobile Co..
of Kokomo. Indiana in speaking of
the new Apperson Anniversary Eight
the other day. Success does not
come of its own free WILT follows
hard effort correctly applied. When
ever you see a signal success in
business you know that somewhere
underlying it is an idea-a good idea
concerning either materials, methods
or marketing.
I'm the not far distant past the
automobile was looked upon only as
mechanical product. usually lack
ing in force and appeal. But to-day
the outer shell or dress of the
modern motorcar has come to be
recognized as one of the most i'm
portant features of the war. That
Is the Why of our new Apperson
Anniversary Model.
The love of most men and wo-
men for beauty-be 1t form, texture
or coloring-has resulted in the de-
velopment of our idea-the express
sion of individuality in the manufac-
tured product. The employment of
good taste rather than lavish eX-
penditure is the secret of the success
OF the plan. You have seen il in
individuals and so now you find ii
in the Anniversary Apperson. 1t is
that indefinable something which
makes the individual stand out from
the crowd and the anniversary model
attractive to your eye as you pass
IL on the street.
TT represents an idea-an idea
which has through months of hard
work developed to the point where 1t
now offers a motorcar quiet ATS
distinctive style without the least
touch of lavish excess. In either the
touring car for seven passengers or
the tourster for four. the Anni-
versary Apperson is bound to ap-
peal to those who demand the best.
From radiator to tail-lamp we have
built this car as we'll as motorcar
science knows how with the idea in
mind of having it give complete SER
vice to its users. All of the most
modern equipment and materials
have been used. In fact from the
initial drawings up through the foun-
dry, the forge shop, the machine
and assembling rooms. and so on to
the finished product, this model has
been watched and worked over with
painstaking care.
And remember. one of the very
important factors in the production
of this car is the knowledge of the
men who direct the work of manu-
facture. Twenty-Five years of ex-
perience in motorcar construction
are back of the Anniversary Apper-
son. So into its construction. men
who have been working with us for
years are putting the experience
gained through years of effort ex-
pended in a single direction. The
Anniversary Apperson is built only
on the chassis which carries the IA
son motor"

At times the mud was so deep and
soft the wheels settled and the
