Infantry at Tientsin, China, last March
IL. and for the affronts to p. Stewart
Heintzleman. the American Consul
General, which occurred at the same
time. The formal apology. accompa-
MED by expressions OF regret. virtually
ends the incident. 1t places the Jap
anese in the position OF being in the
wrong and admitting It. and It serves
as a notice that the United States
Government will expect japan to pre-
vent incidents Of this character in the
future.
Acting Secretary Of State Polk

and although he appeared to minimize
it's seriousness. at the same time he
pressed for full recognition OF the rights
OF the American citizens involved. The
Japanese sought to treat the matter as
Il local brawl' and to place the Ameri-
cans in the wrong. The clash resulted
In the serious injury of one American
soldier and minor injuries to other
Americans and japanese.
The apology Of the Japanese Govern
ment has been made all the more unre-
served and complete by frank admission

Value Of Auto Tire
Inner Tube Explained
By Goodyear Manager

The average motorist does not
realize the importance OF the inner
tube" says H. G. Palmer, manager
of the pneumatic tire department of
the Goodyear Tire and Rubber COM
pany, Akron, O. THE casing, or
tire, is given the greatest consider
atioh, while the tube is thought of
as more or less necessary acces-
sorry.
"As result of this attitude poor
service has often been obtained from
the best tire manufacturers. The
user should be more concerned with
the tubes ability to hold air than
with its ability to pull freight train,
lift heavy weights and other futile
tests of like nature.
Rubber has pin holes which the
finest calandering in the world will
not eliminate, and which permit air
seepage by diffusion. Rubber chem
ically' assimilates a certain amount
of air on one side and passes it off
on the other-particlarly when un-
der pressure.
THE Goodyear laminated process
of tube construction, however, by
building the tube up of thin layers
Of unvulcanized rubber and then
vulcanizing the whole into one HON
cgenous mass, eliminates the posi-
bility of this leakage, making tube
scientifically correct in every prin-
ciple,"

Special Sale Of Used
Cars This Week at
The Cadillac Garage

The problem of separating the
used car department from the new
car department has been a problem
with automobile men for some
length OF time. Admirably, it is
not the easiest thing in the world to
promote ENTHUSIASM regarding a
used car when it is stationed along
side OF new and shiny model.
Thousands of used cars represent
an unusual value, but the contrast
in the exterior appearance when
compared with the new car often
dampens the ardure of the prospcc-
tive buyer.
J. II. Hanson of the Jones' Han
son Cadillac company has recently
decided to equip a separate show
room on the second floor of his
building for the purpose of display
ing used automobiles and workmen
are now redecorating spacious
show room on the second floor of
the Jones Hanson Cadillac building.
A stairway leading to this depart
ment will be constructed and sew
eral salesman will devote their time
to this branch OF the work. No
doubt, this plan will work out in
goodAshape and will work out to the
advantage Of both the buyer and

Most of the used models which
will be displayed in this show room
will have been completely over
hauled and i'll many cases reprinted.

Colorado Road to Be Used

The wonderful new automobile
road from Colorado Springs to the
summit If Pixies Peak, built by what
is known as the western copper
crowd OF capitalists headed by Spen-
Ger Penrose, c. M. MacNeiH and A.
E. Carlton, for scenic trip, is again
to be used by the government in
testing the Liberty motors at va
rious elevations, which experiments
resulted in such rapid development
of this motor.
This time one of the war tanks is
to be sent to the top of Pixies Peak
about the middle of April, when
many parts of the road are covered
with big snow drifts ten to 50 feet
in depth and in some places ice gla-
ciers five to 10 feet thick, by the
war loan organization, as a public
ity stunt in the interest of the Vic

Lighter Autos Are In
Great Demand, Official
OF Westcott Co. Saws

In connection with the many re-

sized by E. H. Gilcrest of the West

"The unusual number of light cars

crest, lis undoubtedly the result of
market pressure. There is marked

other car-makers, have been forced
to bring out lighter car.

cal car.
Before deciding upon our speci-
fcations, we make an unusually care
full market study. 1t convinced us
Of two things: First, that large
part of the present market will not
be carried away by the popular de-
demand for>excessive lightness; and
second. that a great proportion of
those who are now buying too light
car will quickly discover their
error and swing back to the con
struction which has been found cor
rect both by the engineer and by

Expects Lifting Of

Restrictions now in force against
foreign made motor cars are very
apt to be relaxed in France and

H. M. Robins, foreign sales manag-
er for Dodge Brothers, Detroit. who
has just returned from an extended
business trip through these coun-
tries. Several influences are at work
in England to bring this about" he
said. The most progressive English
dealers had long handled American
made cars before the war. They sold
well, and naturally these dealers are
working hard to have the restric-
tons removed. SO is the American
Chamber of Commerce in London.
Then there is the old free trade
sentiment in England which has al
ways looked with disfavor upon
trade restrictions of any kind. More

War Teaches
Many Lessons
To Auto World

ting into practice lessons learned
during the war, according to w. l.
Killy, local Lexington distributor.
while builders of cars were TAX
ing advantage OF developments in
engineering, brought forth under
the stress of the times, motorists
were tearing to value performance
above all else in car" declares
Mr.. Killy.
This is evident from the fact
that they demand consistent proof
Of the cars utility before buying.
They investigate performance first
and look at lines afterward. The
day of buying car for appearance
sake alone is past.
During the strenuous days of
'ol7 and 1918 motorists for the first
time gan to fully appreciate the
utility and necessity of the motor
car. 1t ecame such an important
factor in their every day life that
they regard it now as essential as
Tie telephone and the telegraph.
Naturally in casting about for a
new car they are looking for service
above all else.
1T has been great source of
satisfaction to me ito be able to
show prospective buyers the new
Lexington Minute Man Six models.
that embody performance. economy
and grace of line.
"The manner in which these
models-the touring car and tour
been received indicates
that the Lexington engineers clearly
anticipated the public's desires.
Both include the latest Lexington
engineering improvements, the
Moore multiple exhaust system, the
oilless bushines, the one-finper
emergency brake. the metallic
universal Joints and other advanced
features"

One Of the most useful things to
carry in the car on tours is rs
feet Of half-inch manila rope, which
has almost endlesss uses. In the
first place it is an admirable tow
rope. 1t can be wrapped around
axle and spring after some Of the
spring leaves have been broken, to
get home without breaking the rest
Of the leaves. 1t can be cut in two
and wrapped around the rear tires
to give, traction in some mud hole
where it would be impossible to
fastenf the chains. The rope can
even be used as a tire, when the
last spare has blown out and will
save the rim on the journey home.

Self Oiling Bushing.

1t is comparatively easy to make
a self-lubricating busting for the
spring bolt by drilling, say eight
holes, each $40 of an inch in
diameter through a new bronze
bushing. These holes are packed
with graphite, when the bushing is
in place. By removing the spring
bolt every six months and repacking
the bushing with graphite, a nearly
self-sufficing bushing, as far as
fabrication goes, will result.
