Making Good
Progress on Road Work

The growth of motoring in the Vir-
ginias is bringing both states into
line on the good roads question. With
two such famous resorts as The Green
brier and the Old White at White
Sulphur Springs drawing their Glen
tele equally from North and South,
and their reighbors, Hot Springs and
Warm Springs, Va, forty miles distant.
the need for good motor roads from
the North il doubly great and although
roads between Stanton and White
Sulphur have been rougher than the
traditional road 10 Dublin in the past.
Virginia must needs awaken soon to
the necessity for better roads. partfcu-

Studebaker to
Spend Heavily
For Buildings
Construction Plans Doubled.
Involving Outlay of
S8,5OO,OOO for New
Plants; Problem Grows

The Studebaker corporation will ex-
pend S8,500,000 during the present year
for construction work. Announcement
that the expansion would take place
during the coming year was made by
the directors of the corporation on
May II. The amount decided upon is
twice the previous estimate of con-
struction work for the ensuing year.
Referring to the expansion Of the
Studebakers, A. R. Erskine, president
of the corporation, has issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"Originally we planned for buildings
and equipment amounting to about
S4,250, 900 during the present year. but
oil of these plans have been revised
because of changed and improved con-
ditions generally, and we are now pre-
pared to double our original building
programme The new plant expendi-
lures we contemplate this year will
amount in round figures to $500 ,000
"The work has been in progress for
some time, and it will be pushed just
as rapidly IS possible. | have been
too busy with other matters to keep
very close to the actual progress of the
work the last few days, but | do know
what is being planned"
The change of the plans Of the cor
poration will, incidentally, make South
Bends housing problem more serious.
In order to cope with the situation
properly the Chamber of Commerce
held big meeting last Monday to dis
cuss the matter. Plans are now under
way tc convey the city's needs in the
housing line to the public in every
way possible. Newspaper advertising,
billboards other than the one installed
In the courthouse yard will be erected.
Propaganda of all kinds will be
launched to impress the people of
South Bend with the extreme necessity
of building more homes to relieve the
building situation.
At the present time there is a need
of 1926 more houses in the city. with
only eighty permits for new residences
issued from the office of the building
department.. These facts were strik-
ingly brought out at the meeting Of
the Chamber of Commerce.
W. D. Guy, who has charge Of the
construction at the Studebaker plant.
delivered the main talk at the Chamber
Of Commerce luncheon. He told of the
development of the Studebaker plant
from the time the work was started
down to the present proposed expan-
sion
HIS talk was made more interesting
by the fact that series of photogra mis-
were introduced, showing the gradual
development Of the construction now
under way These photographs are
taken on Tuesday of each week, and
start with the work. of excavating for s.
foundation until the last photographs,
which show the concrete piers, which
are weekly becoming more numerous.

10 the average man who has never
used commercial vehicles in his busi-
ness motor truck is simply a motor
truck, hight or heavy, as the case may
De. Until he studies into the matter
OF delivery Of goods by motor vehicles
instead of by horses he usually harbors
some erroneous ideas. These are
changed only by actual experience.
James j. Hunt, general manager Of
the REQ Motor Car Company of New
York, In speaking of this matter few
days ago, cited several examples Of
truck construction details that may not
occur to the average prospective buver.
For example," said he, "a buyer Of

wood swells and shrinks, and any fixed
form OF socket therefore fails to hold
wooden stake solidly. If made
tight fit 1t is hard to release in wet
weather-if loose fit it gets too loose
IN the hot months or in dry climate.
ITO overcome this difficulty the REQ
engineers have devised the grip lock.
The stakes on to which the various
body attachments are built are set in
sockets formed by the extremities of
the pressed steel body braces. Each
socket is split to permit the aperture
to spread and admit the stake. The
socket is then drawn together by
thumb screw or wing nut" which
clamps the stake firmly in place. This
is thoroughly mechanical and there
fore thoroughly satisfactory solution Of
the problem. It always holds, and vet
the stakes are easily and quickly re-

Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, premier
Of American aces, has just paid a visit

Also Protect Tubes Against

Cause Casing Demise

Summer time looses two forces Of
nature which have seriously injurious
effects on tires. One of these is heat
and the other sunlight. Although these
two forces are closely allied, the bad
effects are distinctly different, accord
ing to statements made by laboratory
srner.s Of the United States Tire Com

serviceability. 1t makes them hard and
lifesess, and also promotes oxidizing
action BY the air.
Because of these harmful effects Of
light ard heat, tires should always be
kent in covers when carried as spares.
and if stored in the garage should be
kept in a dark, confined place where
the temperature is low. In the case
of~mner tubes special care should be
given, for the tube must remain elastic
and flexible and must not crack. The
tube is subjected to a great deal of
heat when in the tire and should be
saved any ecess in storage. A liberal
use Of tale or soapstone on the inside
Of the tire before the tube is put in
will help to overcome the bad effects
Of heat when the tire is in action.
The United States Tire Company,
says it should be noted that the bad
effects of heat due to fast driving
or to driving over hot sands or hot
pavements are not caused by increase
In pressure Of air in the tire. 1t is
almost impossible for the heat OF driv
ing or of hot roads to increase air
pressure to degree great enough in
itself to burst the tire. What really
happens is that the heat softens and
breaks down the rubber after a time.

In the course of his lecture, delivered
in the new armory building, he related
an incident that was particularly inter-
esting to the rubber workers of the
great Akron rubber factories.
II entered Germany in motor car"
said Rickenbacker, land every time our
car stopped the Germans swarmed
around it, curiously inspecting the
tires. They would feel them, poke them
and finally kick them, to determine if
the tires were really pneumatics made
of rubber. 1t had been SO long since
any real rubber tires had been seen
there, that our tires actually were
curiostios to the Germans"
During his stay in Akron. he visited
the Goodyear plant, being particularly
interested in the manufacture of tires.
for prior to his enlistment in the army
he had won many important automobile
races on Goodyear cord tires.
