Huge Shipment Of
Rubber Is Moving
in a Special Train

One of the greatest, shipments of
rubber ever received in America in
single lot is proceeding across
country from San Francisco to De-
troit in a special train of rs cars.
The weight of the shipment is D.
100000 pounds.
The rubber is consigned to the
Morgan & Wright tire plant of the
United States Rubber company. 1t
arrived in San Francisco from
Singapore on the Siberia Maru on
March /, and represents part Of the
large accumulations of crude rub
Der held back in the Far East by
the embargo on importations.
To the rubber experts a shipment
of this size is matter of amaze
ment more than to the average man
unacquainted with the infinitely slow
processes by which such stores of
rubber are built up. The shipment
in question represents the entire pro-
duction of about 100000 rubber trees
for An entire year, and the labor
or more than 1000 men for the same
period.

Getting the Oil.

s Motorists who buy oil by the bar
rel often experience difficulty in
getting the comparatively thick flow
from the small hole of the barrel,
particularly in cold weather. An in
genious way to obviate this difficulty
is to bore hole in the head of the
barrel to take the valve head from
an old bicycle tire from which the
base has been removed The valve
has fiat sides, but two small wooden
plugs will stop leakage and the bar
rel may now be pumped up with
enough pressure to insure flow of
the oil, an ordinary hand bicycle
pump being used.

AUTOS CHEAPER
NOW HERE Than
four YEARS AGO
Answer Depends on Market
Value of Buyers Own
Production; Advance
Less Than Wheat.

Automobiles that have not been
priced fctitiously are cheaper today
than they were four years ago." says
Walter S. Johnson of the Mid-City
Motor Supply company. This
statement sounds like paradox
because there have been some ad-
vances in that period. As a matter
of fact these advances we're not in
proportion to the cost of labor and
materials.
THE price tag on a car today as
compared with the price on the
same car four years ago does not
tell the true story. To get fair
idea of the present price thereAare
vital facts to be considered. These
relate to the average individuals
earning power-the price he can get
for the things he sells to make liv-
ing and the amount of the commod-
ity he makes which he must ex-
change in the open market for the
article he wishes to purchase.
THE best illustration I can think
of to explain this point is found in
the business of the farmer. The lat
ter's wages, or buying power, lie in
his crops or their market value. The
staple article on the American farm
is wheat. In 1914, or about four
years ago, the farmer received 90
cents bushel for wheat. Therefore,
if he wished to buy a car'that then
sold for say, $1,050, he, practically
speaking, paid about ll66 bushels of
wheat for it.
To-day if the car costs him as
much as $l,555 he has to pay only
about 700 bushels of wheat for it
because wheat today is valued at
$2.26 bushel. In other words while
the car has apparently gone up Sc
per cent, it costs the farmer only
so per cent as much as it did four
wears ago."

Farmers as Well as Those
Who Live in the City
Motorizing to Be
Prepared.

The good roads legislation which
is being received with enthusiasm in
all parts of the United States is al
ready having its effect upon the sale
of motor cars" according to A. H.
Ekbergh of the Omaha Auto Sales
company.
"One OF the most serious draw
backs in the sale of automobiles
and trucks has been the conditions
of the roads. Farmers and resi-
dents of the smaller cities are fas:
realizing the Importance OF good
roads, not only from standpoint of
pleasure, but from the standpoint Of
efficiency and money making.
Farmers and business men alike
are beginning to plan way ahead in
the purchase of their motor equip
ment and the fundamental reason
for this foresight is the favorable &C
ton which is being taken in regard
to the construction of permanent
highways.
Autos and Tractors.
"The top prices which have been
received for farm produce have
made the farmers realize the value
OF his time and it is no longer a
question of "Can | afford another
automobile or truck" but it is a
question of whether he can afford
to be without the proper motor
equipment. Many farmers today
own two or three automobiles as
we'll as truck and tractor.
Without a doubt, the coming
year will bring forth shortage OF
motor equipment which will be a
serious handicap to those who have
.hesitated to properly provide for
transportation necessities"

Air Hose Trouble.
When there is any suspicion that
the engine driven tire pump is fore
ing oil through the hose, examine
the end of the hose. Usually this
hose has a rubber lining, and if oil
is being pumped this rubber lining
quickly becomes soft, perhaps 30
much so that it will not hold to
the nipple. In cheap hose it is
difficult to get the nipple in again,
even with the use of wire as bind
ing, the first operation of the pump
blowing the hose away from its con-
nection. The cure lies in getting a
good grade of hose or in having
the pump piston and rings examined
for leakage.
Thermostatic Control.
1t is only recently that the impor-
tant contribution to engine eff
cheney of the so-called thermo-
static control has come to be gener
ally understood. With a thermo-
static control in the water line the
engine is almost instantly brought
to an efficient working temperature,
Many car makers are now fitting
thermostatic control as stock equip
ment, but even on the car not so
provided the owner can now install
a device of this kind himself. For
a man who wants maximum engine
efficiency this is a valuable hint.
Pump fabrication
In repacking the gland of water
circulating pump use plenty Of
graphite with the packing. The spin
die is seldom sufficiently fabricated
and the graphite will go long way
toward remedying this. Glycerine
in the cooling water, which is used
in connection with alcohol as an
anti-freeze medium, seems, incident
ally, to help lubricate the pump.

Entirely to the

Zone OF the most notable things
about the Essex is the way in which
it has sprung into popularity without
a word being said in it praise by the
makers" said Guy L. Smith. mo
extravagant claims of any kind were
made for the newcomer. The build
ers were so confident OF its worth
that they were entirely ready to
leave the final verdict to the pub
lie. In this connection, the follow
ing article printed in Automobile
Topics is interesting:
1.-The Essex is not only car but
a type, that will bear close study.

offence, in its introduction, Essex
dealers were urged to return to the
old system of demonstration before
purchase. There are cars that DEM
onstration will not help sell. The
Essex is not one of these. Add to
this fact that its appearance is
enough to pull a good share of at
tention on the prospective buyers
part, and enough has been said to
indicate that for a new conner its
prospects are uncommonly bright.
In fact, having nothing in the
way of reputation to live down, but
much in its favor, it seems to be a
product that competitors will have
to reckon with seriously"

Gen. Emiliano ,Zapata, the noted
Mexican bandit chief, who for more
than 10 years has terrorized the
State of Morelos, south Of Mexico

On Vulcanizing.

In vulcanizing castings, which it is
not always necessary to remove
from the wheel, three layers of &C.
ment should be applied, each one
being allowed to dry. The cut
should be filled not quite level with
the surface with scraps of rubber
supplied for the purpose. If the
hole is filled too full the rubber is
likely to expand and run over the
surface which has not been prepared
and this thin film will soon peel off.
When fixing a sand pocket care
must be taken to fill the hole where
the sand found entrance, which may
be foot away from the pocket as
finally developed.

Production Is Not Yet

1T is unquestionably a fact that

tories have not reached their normal
volume of production by any
means" says Harry NJ. Jewett, presi-
dent of the Paige-Detroit Motor
Car company. Consequently when
the spring buying sets in about the
FIRST of April in earnest, as it does
every year in most parts of the
country, there is likely to be short

Breaker Point Adjustment.

Sometimes it becomes necessary
to readjust the distance between the
contact points of the breaker. The
common error is that of setting
these points too far apart; the
proper distance is approximately
one-hftieth of an inch and this may
be taken as the standard. Incl
dentally the width of the spark gaps
has great influence on the function
ing of the ignition system.

colors are generally more lasting.
This is caused by the physical char
acteristics of the color varnish,
which has a base of gum. Now,
the dark gum is more serviceable
than the light shades, and the dark
varnishes are derived from the dark
gums. The lighter colors call for
lighter varnishes and the wearing
