tire-building had not reached it's pres ent state of perfection and the bad con dition of most of the highways filled the driver with a constant anxiety as to whether he could finish his journey without tire trouble.
 But tire construction has improved. to such a degree and good roads have become so common everywhere in the country, that an automobilist whose car is equipped with good tires seldom worries today about blow outs Or pune lures. With the question of dependa bility rendered secondary, the owner of a handsome car now is becoming finical about the looks of his tires. He wants a tire that in gracefulness of line harmoniZes with the beauty of his car and has in it's appearance that clear cut look of quality which stamps it as a tire of the highest grade.
 To the fact that it looks good, the United States Tire company attributes a considerable part of the popularity of it's Royal Cord tire-aiways remem- bering, of course, that this tire is as good as it looks.
 One feature of the Royal Cord which

 of Cadillac chassis and found them adaptable to their needs, particularly for ambulance service at the front When it came time 10 adopt standard seven passenger car. the certainty of tho government in it's selection of the Cadillac was due directly to the out come Of a competitive motor test held at Maria. Texas. in July, 1917. Under the observation of United States army officers 2000-mile run under the most severe conditions brought honors to the Cadillac. In addition to this. tho Cadillac completed a 5000 mile test under similar circumstances in excellent shape.
 That the car maintained it's reputa- ton previously made is shown by only one of the tasks it perforated overseas. A number of Cadillac cars were used to relieve the railroad on a French mall route out of Paris. The runs varied from 15 0to 200 miles in length. These cars effectively demonstrated their endurance in making the runs day after day and month after month averaging b miles per hour.
 The cars used by the army are standard Cadillac seven passenger cars except that they are painted olive drab and carry auxiliary fuel tanks on the running boards A very consid erable number of these seven -passen- ger cars were used ythe government

 The rapidity with which the Cadillai company filled it's contracts and it scientific methods of packing anC shipping cars and parts for overseas use were highly complimented by rep resentative government officials.

ABSENCE IF FREAKS
 CHARACTER|zES 1913
 MODEL AUTOMOBILES

Asked what he considered the out standing feature of this seasons auto mobile and motor truck shows, Horace T. Thomas, chief engineer of the Rec Motor Car company. replied without resitation, The absolute absence of freakish inventions
 This is due, of course. to the recent war which, for the time, put a quietus on the irrepressible discoverers of me chanical fallacies.
 This season the buyer will be able to select his new car with reasonable assurance that it will perform-for practically everything exhibited is at least one year old whereas in past shows there was always a percentage of experimental models. Tn former years there were so many alluring new features-mechanica electrical and carburetion innovations so plausible they were apt to fool the mechanically inclined layman, that at the end of show week buyers found | themselves more undecided and con- | fused than when they first entered the big exhibition hall. E Next season will reinstate the old order of things by the introduction of new order of things-ad infinitum, l am afraid.
 Already we are besieged with ideas by inventors and discoverers who in sist We ought to scrap every known principle in motor car design and adopt others cn the grounds that they proved up in war service. Now. as 9 matter of cold fact we l learned mighty little from the war that ! will be of practical use in the automo- ] bile business.
 Tn motor truck building. for eX- ample, nothing developed that we can use in trucks that must compete on an operating cost basis in commercial i service.
 Weights were carried and fuel waste endured in war work that would break any private operator.
 Your Uncle Same does not keeI cost accounts-not in detail anyway so nobody knows just how much toe much he paid for his motor trucks or how many times too much in opera ton and upkeep
 The same is true of our aircraft eX- perience
 You hear it said that in the build ing of what is conceded to be the great est aeroplane motor ever produced namely, the Liberty-our engineers 1 learned things and developed processes that will greatly improve automobile l motors.
 "Well-Td like to be shown just one,
 "The steel cylinder was a tremendous advance-in that particular field. But it is of no advantage in motor cars. For that specific purpose-and where cost didn't matter-it did the i work
 "One reason why our aircraft ex- perience is of so little help in the mak ing of automobile engines is the prime fact that an aircraft motor is practi- callyfa constant speed engine where as an automobile motor must have a great range Of speeds and produce ifs proper percentages of power at al speeds from the lowest to the maxi mum.
 The subject is too great 10 be ex haustiVely treated in limited space, concluded the Rec. engineer, "so suf- flee it to say the war has taught G. little if anything, that will be of prac. tical use.

appeals to the every day driver is that it has a tread which is just as good for driving as for non-skid purposes. This makes it possible to have a uni form tire on all four wheels and makes it unnecessary 10 carry two different kinds of spares in weather when non- skid tires are desirable.
 The enormous increase in sales of Royal Cords to all classes of car own CTS indicates it represents true tire economy because of superior milage.
