Oklahoma. Breathing We'll.

Having read in Cnpper's Weekly Of n
well near Fletcher. Okla, which seems
to breathe, Archie Murray Of San Jose,
N. NJ, offers possible explanation of
the mystery. He believes the drill had
reached cave through which river
flows directly to the gulf. The ebb of
the tide causes air to draw Into the
well because space is left In the cave
for the passage Of MIR. When the tide
rises the air. which is In the passage.
Is forced out at the top Of the well.
The downward current causes the wa
ter to freeze and the inward flow, of
the water causes the Ice to disappear.

Many motorists through bitter ex-
perience have become acquainted
with the various ''gyp." "swindle," "
and "no name" tires that are handed
out at bargain prices by mysterious
manufacturers that palm them of as
perfect tires, says Motor Digest.
These car owners have learned the
lesson of purchasing standard tires
made by reputable manufacturers.
The same situation exists today in
regard 4. TO tubes. Some manufac-
turers who make nameless tubes offer
to put the dealers name on the box
in case Of quantity orders-and the
dealer Is in the peculiar position Of
selling to his customers q tube under
his own name. on which the manu-
facturer declines to place his name.
Unbranded and unknown tubes con-
stitute q serious menace to tire life.
The unbranded tube is obviously Of
lower quality than the standard brand
and OF such low quality that the
maker will not put his own name on

Iuctance on the part OF the manufac-
turer indicates q want OF pride in the

Even the best tube is not made
purely of rubber. Other ingredients
are used with the rubber, just As
other materials arc used In mak'ns

to hold air and keep on holding rlr,

1t Is obvious that high grade rub

In the tube. SO IN a general way. II
one tube is OF cheaper quality than
another. II Is because the cheaper
tube has less rubber or rubber OF an
inferior grade.
A motorist who uses cheap tubes
Is constantly courting trouble. Too
many dealers sell low grade, no
name, big profit tubes which cost
many times their price by losing
pressure, which in turn causes under
imitation. Good tubes add life TO
tires. They are just as important as
good casings. Many motorists could
well afford to throw away their cheap
tubes and replace then with high
quality tubes. Money would be
saved Ia the end.

GIANT FACTORY
INCREASES OUTPUT

The Chicago Pneumatic Tool Com
pany for many years were known
as the makers or the highest class
OF standard small tools and pneumatic
appliances. The strength of construc+
tion OF these tools gained them the
name Of Little Clan, and such became
universally known. Today this same
, company is engaged in manufaetur-
;; ing probably the best known truck in
/ America. 1t was first given the name
OF Little Giant, due to the reputation
/ OF the above mentioned tools made
by this celebrated company. 1t was
very soon seen that the mana LIttlS
could not be very we'll associated with
the sturdy qualities of the giant
truck. While they felt that they were

sential factors that had made their
tools so famous that the word Little
was misnomer and the name has
since been changed to Giant In
their plant In the suburbs of Chicago
there still remains the earmarks Of
the great work that they did during
the war period, but, they are now al
most returned to normal conditions
While the Government has recently
made great demands on this company
for their tools IL does not in any way
ehect the output OF the Giant
trucks, although it did necessitate to
a certain extent the reorganization
Of the truck end Of the business,
which has been recently completed.
But today the factory is in splendid
working condition and trucks are be-
ing turned out to the limit OF ca
pactty which is far below the demand
In this plant the same feeling OF
loyalty that exists in the production
Of Little Giant products IL Epparent
in the making of Giant trucks.
Strength seems to be the paramount
tiea. This, backed with the very best
standardized power plants, can result
in but one .thing-a dependable truck
that keeps up to the slogan OF the
Giant company that is service first"
The manufacture of the Giant is
carried along the same lines as that,

AMERICAN MOTORS
POPULAR IN FRANCE

American motorcars have made
many loyal friends in France as a re-
suit of the epochaI visit Of General
Pershing and his 100000 go-get-'em
doughboys.
This is one Of the many encouraE-
ing overseas observations made by
Albert II. Haught an expert mechanic
employed by the National Motorcar
and Vehicle Corporation, of Indian
apolis. who spent six months in
France with the 200 National Sedans
that were attached to the A. z. F.
The efficient service rendered by
American cars in France made a most
favorable impression On the most ex-
scting Of all automobile connoisseurs
the French themselves" said
Haught. The fact that our army
cars were up against the stiffest Of
competition-the .Renault. Of France.
and the Rolls Royce, of England
makes their military achievements all
the more creditable.
Our army cars, in fact, did some
splendid missionary work in France.
The value of this service will be
measured by the increased exports
that will be made to France in the
next year or two.
THE French also have a first-hand
knowledge Of American efficiency
methods as practiced by the American
automobile industry. The chief re-
construction park for military Yehi-
cles at Vernuil, for example, was a
source of amazement and a magnet
for crowds of visitors. This repair
base was built in sixty days. The
eight buildings are of concrete and
steel construction, the machine shop,
which is the largest unit, measuring
200 by 500 feot. At the time the
armistice was signed 1900 German
prisoners were working there, in ad-
ditiOn to small army of khaki-clad

Automobile stealing in this coun-

National Automobile Chamber Of

have Joined in a common campaign
to suppress the rapidly growing evil.
There is a very comprehensive story
in the April issue Of MOTOR, the ma

with the steps that are being taken
by these organizations in this con-
nection.
"If present plans work out as an

have been deprived Of every incentive
