TIRE CHAINS ONLY
ANTI-SKID AIDS
Alone Can Really Prevent 80
Per Cent. Of Motor Car
Accidents.

Skddlng is the greatest danger that
bescts the motorist II comes without
warning, turns pleasure into peril and
takes enormous toll in human lives and
wrecked cars.
Statistics prove that fully 20 per cent
OF motor car accidents and fatalities are
due, directly or indirectly, to skldding.
When q car starts to go it's usually
"goner" There Is no time to wait or
cogitate. There IL no chance to adjust
differences between the car and the slip
perry street. The only thing to do is to
surrer'ier to the inevitable.
Life can be lost but oncc--frightful
injuries may happen frequently. You
cannot afford to deny yourself. your
family Or others the luxury Of physical
existence. You cannot afford to coax
calamity Then why drive a car UNI
equipped to conquer the hazards of slip
perry streets and roads?
Rest Brakes Helpless.
You would consider 1t foolhardy to
drive a car with faulty brakes. Yet the
best brakes cannot prevent skiddinC.
There must be even and secure traction
action-not merely brake action. Brakes
can only control the rotary lnOtlon or the
wheels. They cannot stop the side glide
Of rubber tires.
Rubber slips Rubber will agree to
anything the road, has to offer. II is the
wc9ker element. 1t slides on wet pave
ments like n cake OF soap rubbed on the
mostened hands. Rubber lacks the
''te and hang on ability to prevent skid
ding.
Nothing has ever been invented in the
way OF anti-skid devices to equal tire
chains, and II doesn't require the gift OF
second sight to see why this is true.
Wheels equipped with chains auto
natically lay their own traction surface.
Friction Is effected without affecting the
tires. They strike the ground sauarely
hold and release instantly. They fight
for firm contact. always gain their
ground, prevent side skid and drive slip.
Suppose two rows Of pebbles we're
strewn directly in front of the w1"als
of your car. They would form a grip
ping surface, Vet the traction efficiency
could not he better than that afforded
by tire chains. They are the only anti
skid device that has proved that Il

Board at Washington was presented

Niles and the equipments recommended

In commenting on this condition.
Glenn A Tisdale, New York distributor
for the Franklin Automobile Company.
pointed out that the Franklin car was
me only one in the list that exceeded
me tire size prescribed by the tire man.
ufactHers Mr.. Tisdale said that the
franklin company has always done its
own figuring on tire equipment, basing
ne requirements on the same engineer
!ng principles on which the strength and
wearing qualities OF any other part of
Tho car are based.
The inspiring Parts Weight,
The Franklin company is constantly
conducting experiments on different
size tires and different types Of tires in
order TO keep informed as to Just the
light combination to render maximum
mileage. 1t is a Franklin principle
which is becoming recognized more and
more by other car makers that tire
mileage Is governed greatly not only
ny the total weight of the car but also
hv the weight of the inspiring parts
which bear directly on the tires.
This point of design Is largely respon-
slbie for the ample tire equipment which
las always been found on Franklin
cars.
Just those elements that make a car
easy riding also make ii easy on tires,
i should be remembered.

FUEL ECONOMY PROBLEM GROWS IN
IMPORTANCE AS SUPPLY DIMIN|SHES

The problem Of fuel economy in
auto engines is one assuming greater
importance every day. The enormous
ly increasing demand for engine fuel
and the inadequate supply in sight
compels all users to study its conser-
walton.
How to better the fuel economy Of
automobile engines Is being studied
by all engineers today. An important
contribution is paper presented by
Bureau of Standards, who is in active
charge Of research work on automo-
tive engines. He says 1t is important
for automobile engineers to investi-
gate at once the fuels available for
their industry and determine the num-
Der OF car or ton miles that can be
obtained from the actual supply re-
naming.
Three Possible Fuels.
or fuels in sight for motor vehicles
we have only petroleum products, al
cohol. benzol and possibly shale oil
distillates.
But before all OF these can be used
successfully IL Is necessary 10 ADAPT
our engines to handle them properly.
1t remains to be seen whether it will
be best hereafter to sell two or three
different kinds of liquid fuels. one
less volatile than the others, or wheth-
er 1t would be more advantageous
commercially to concentrate on
combination fuel and adapt all engines
to 1t. The present trend Of develop
ment favors gasoline and kerosene
and efforts are being made to con-
struct appliances for gasoline engines
enabling them to utilize kerosene.

old DODGE SELLS FOR
MORE Than when new

THE resale price is the unanswer-

Richmond. I'm that connection I can
give you an illustration which shows
how easy 1t Is to move certain make
of car after two OF three years Of
service.
In February, 1915. Kansas firm
showed an original demonstration, No.
101. to three thousand people at their
opening. The car was then sold, and
in December of the same year it was
resold to the United States Stock
Food company.
I'm January the company bought a
new car and again the Dodge people
took possession Of No. 101 in trade.
For some months they used this car
to demonstrate the remarkable dura-
bility Of the finish. They cleaned
UP the car, repainted the wheels, put
on new tenders and actually very few
people knew 1t was a used car until
their attention was called to the fact.
Finally in August, 1918, this car
was sold for $3.50, just $25 more than
its original price in 1915. If any other
car has had more interesting resale
history, I'll stake my judgment that

COLEMAN DISPLAYS
FORD WITH STARTER

The handsome new Ford sedan with
the combined starting and lighting
system, an innovation on Ford cars,
is on display at the Webb-C Coleman
company's garage, 10 South Seventh
street.
While it is hoped eventually that the
starting and lighting systems will be
placed on all Ford models, for the
present at least 1t will be confined to
the closed car The Ford company
will make more of these cars in the
next year than most of the largest
manufacturers have made of all mod
els in one year, SO that equipping even
this one model will furnish a tremen-
dous problem.
A six volt, so ampere three cell bat
terry of standard construction is
housed On a metal box carried on the
left running board. Choice of bright
and dim lights is given. The starting
system is reliable and sturdy.

On most farms more time is spent
in cultivating than any other opera
ton. Sixty per cent of the crops are
planted in rows that require culti-
waiting, which must be done at the
busiest season.
If one man is to farm more land
than ever before, which is absolute
ly necessary, he must cultivate more
land than ever before. With the
Moline Universal Tractor one man
can cultivate two rows at a time and
do it better, quicker and cheaper than
with horses.
The Moline Universal Tractor
straddles the corn row--it has more
clearance than the ordinary cultiva-
torso corn can be cultivated in all
stages. The tractor is attached to the
cultivator and forms one complete
unit-the tractor the front wheels,
and the cultivator the rear wheels.
The operator sits on the cultivator in
line with the right drive wheel of the
tractor. where he has clear and un-
obstructed view of the rows ahead.
This is of the utmost Importance for
good work.
All the operator has to do is to
keep the right wheel of the Moline

Army Drivers Will Be
Best in Ciuil Lite

There will soon be an army OF truck
and motor car mechanics available for
private and commercial service.
We want to, of course, but we are
not quite sure how it will affect our
present scheme to hire former drivers
of war cars. And secretly, perhaps,
although we may blush guiltily into
the shaving mirror, mornings. we won
der if it will be good business.
The former army driver is a man
who has learned that gasoline is
precious fluid. He knows that tires
need care. He understands how to
make quick roadside repairs and tenn
porary adjustments OF serious dam
age. He has been educated in velvet
handed wisdom that means he will get
out of the vehicle he drives every
thing the manufacturer hopes and al
most as much as his employer Will ex-
pect. But most important Of all he
will know discipline.
He will do what he is told. He will
carry out orders for whoever employs
him as nearly literally as is In his
power.
He will be good business.

waste. Some of this loss is due to
operating with 25 to so per cent
richer mixture than Is necessary. This
causes carbonization and fabrication
difficulties, with no attending advan-

would probably be possible to run an
additional million cars without in

To bring about this highly desirable
result it will be necessary to put the
