'CIJRTAH CERTAIN
EXCESS TIRE SIZES
Use Less Rubber So as to Give
Larger Shipping
Space

Asked regarding government re-
strictions on the importation of rub
Der and the endeavor of tire manu-
facturers in cooperation with the
government to restrict the manufac-
ture of unnecessary tire sizes, J. c.
Weston. vice-president and director
of sales of the United States Tire
Company. said:
The intention of the government
in the control and restriction of the
importation of rubber Is to conserve
shipping space, and the program
that has been laid before the manu-
facturers OF rubber goods has won
their unanimous support for the War
Trade Board and the Shipping
Board.
In addition the manufacturers OF
tires are heartily cooperating with
! the government program for the
eventual elimination of unnecessary
tire sizes. This elimination will simp-
lify the problem for each user of the
motor car of reducing his cost and
making it possible for him to secure
tire size he needs, in good tires,
more readily than the market and
manufacturing conditions now per-
init.
plans for the withdrawal of cer-
tain tire sizes from use by manu-
facturers of motor cars will not in
any way interfere with the manu-
facture and distribution of the tires
to users who need those particular
sizes at any time"
Mr.. Weston was very insistent in
in his statement that there is moth
ing in the present or probable future
situation to occasion the slightest
apprehension of a shortage of tires
for legitimate use.
However,, there never was a
time he said, when users of motor
cars could so we'll serve the nation
as by making the most of their cars
in legitimate commercial and pas
senger service and refusing to hoard
or unnecessarily anticipate their
needs in tires or other motor car
supplies"
Mr.. Weston called attention to the
fact that the government has not at
the present time imposed any restric-
tions on the use of motor cars by the
automobilists of the country, but has
relied on the patriotism of the car
owners to exercise a proper discre-
ton in the use of their vehicles, with
view to conserving their cars and
tires. Mr.. Weston is of the opinion
that the motorists of the country
can be trusted to cut down mere
pleasure riding to a minimum and to
take every possible step to save tires,
oil and gasoline.

Know How to Describe
Your Car; Thwart Thieves

Police Departments and Insurance
Companies are constantly on the
alert and have been very successful
in breaking up the organized groups
of automobile bandits which exist
throughout the country, but it is
surprising how few motor car own
ers can describe their own cars.
There are certain things every
motorist should know and be able
to furnish the authorities on a mo-
ment's notice. The Velie Motor Cor
poration advise every driver to ac-
quaint himself with the following
data pertaining to his car.
In addition to a general descrip-
ton of your car. it's make, color
capacity, peculiarities. ETC.. be able
to give the license and motor num-
BERN fact, all numbers which
appear on the different units. Be
able to describe the top, whether
carried up or down, description of
tires. make, size, tread and serial
numbers. The car equipment and
any special marks which may exist
in places unknown to others than
yourself.
Any Velie agent will gladly point
out to Velie owners the location OF
just such Identification marks. No
doubt other dealers will do the
same. Know your car" is a good
slogan to have in mind at all times.

APPLICATION OF
MOTOR POWER IS
MOST IMPORTANT
Test Demonstrates Effective
ness of Four Wheel Drive
Principle

"Haulage ability is not question
of how much power is developed by
the engine, but of power distribu-
ton and application" asserted H. M.
Lee. president of the Duplex Truck
Company, of Lansing. Mich.
I'VE recently demonstrated" con-
tinued Mr.. Lee, that the front wheel
drive is more effective than the rear
wheel drive, and at the same time
substantiated our claims that the
four-wheel drive principle Is superior
to either the rear or front wheel
drive.
During the excavating for the
foundation of local factory, the ex-
cavated material was hauled away
with Duplex 4-wheel drive truck.
level was rather more than a 3S per
cent. incline, which-together with
the fact that the truck was hauling
5000 pounds loads-waS severe
test of the pulling ability of the S1-2-
ton truck.
ITO settle a matter then in ques-
tion, the contractor decided to satisfy
himself which represented the great
est hauling factor-front wheel pull
oA ASti "loSl push. ne ulSSHSdSSo
the front wheel drive shaft, in conse-
quence of which the Duplex had no
more and no less hauling power than
ordinary rear drive trucks of the
same rated capacities. But the load
and the incline proved too much for
the rear wheel push, the truck re-
fused to bulge.
Then the front wheel drive shaft
was engaged and the rear wheel
shaft disengaged. With only the
front wheels at work2 the Duplex
truck negotiated the incline without
difficulty.
"On a second trip, under identical
conditions, the truck was stopped
half way up the incline. then started
again, and as before, it made the bal
ance of the grade without a hitch.
THE test thoroughly demonstrat-
ed the effectiveness of the four-wheel
drive principle and perhaps makes
1t more readily understood why the
government favored four-wheel drive
trucks in its recent order for motor
vehicles to be used in army service"

Accurate Speedometer
Drive on the Cadillac

No matter how accurate a speed
ometer may be, II cannot make an
accurate record unless the speedom-
eter drive mechanism is so arranged
that driving wheel slippage, or non-
! skid treads as used on the rear
wheels, do not register on the instru-
ment. Such a speedometer drive is
provided on the Cadillac.
Operating from one of the front
wheels, the Cadillac speedometer
drive takes no account of rear wheel
slippage at high speed. as when
striking an inequality in the road.
| or at low speed, as when driving
through sand or mud. Neither does
the rear tire oversize, due to the nom
skid tread, affect the mileage read
ing. The front wheel drive is In
line with the law in many states
which requires that taXicabs be
equipped with a front wheel meter
drive.
The Cadillac speedometer drive is
enclosed in the spindle of the right
front wheel, the gears protected
from road dirt and running in lubri-
can't This assures long life and
quiet operation. The driving gear
is driven from the hub of the right
front wheel by small shaft which
passes through the center of the
| spindle. The driven gear is pinned
to shaft, which is coupled to the
lower end of the speedometer driv-
ing cable. A speedometer driven di-
rectly from the rear wheels. or indi-
rectly from the drive shaft between
the transmission and rear axle, is
| less accurate, lot only because of

but also because rear wheel slippage

our patriotic duty to do all we can
