ADVANCED PLANNING IMPORTANT FACTOR
 IN AUTO BUSINESS

we all know by long experience how great a factor advanced planning is in business" says George H. Reu- ben of the Reuben Auto company, local Kissel distributor.
 Likewise we are beginning to re- alize that advanced buying is also be- coming a factor if we are desirous of getting what we want when we want it. Especially is this true in placing orders for automobiles and motor trucks, the present scarcity of which is due to three fundamental causes
 First, readjustment from wartime to peace time production, process that takes time, thus slowing up pro- duction: second, increased purchasing by owners who have kept their old cars in service as a patriotic measure, but who now want new cars; third. the new automobile market that will absorb hundreds of thousands of cars, consisting of the new class of buyers who worked hard and saved money during the war and are now in a position to satisfy their longing to own automobiles.
 Consequently, there is greater de- mand for cars right now than the

SENATE BILL CALLS
 FUR ROAD LOCATIONS

WASHINGTON, July 20.-"One of most praiseworthy features of the na- tional highways measure recently in trOduced in congress by Senator Townsend of Michigan, is that relating to road rights of way states Chair man George C. Diehl of the A. A. A. good roads board.
 Perhaps no single feature of road work in the past has caused the state highway commissioners as much trouble as has that of securing ade- quate rights of way, properly located continues MT. Diehl.
 Whenever plans for a new road are announced, it is human nature for those who live along the way either to bring pressure to bear to have the thoroughfare constructed in front of their door or else to force the highway department to make de- tours in order to save cutting through a piece of property.
 Such policy always reacts against the owner in the long run, since the more direct the road and the better located, the greater travel will be and the less the cost of maintenance It follows, too, that increased property NdluGS VIII IuOI6 IHdH OllSGL COiICeS- sions made to the state. Unfortunately we are not all fully educated to a proper understanding of this phase of road work yet, and, as many of our state laws do not give the highway commissioner full authority, our main roads are usually as full of kinks as a pickaninnys hair. This not only i'm pairs the usefulness of the road, but it also adds considerably to the factor of danger, for frequently abrupt curves are made necessary by these detours
 Under the provisions of MT. Town sends measure creating a national highway system, the federal highway commission besides having general su- ton is authorized to require of the state or any civil subdivision tnercoi any rights of way deemed necessary to main trunk lines. Thus where state l highway departments have not thl full authority to enter into condemna ton proceedings, the burden of secur- ing rights of way is placed on fedora. authorities.
 Under this act it will be possible
 to construct these highways with f.,l regard for economic conditions, gradi- 1 ents, drainage and other phases enter
 ing into efficient highway construction More than that the measure provides | for rights of way of not less than 6 | feet n w 1th save in exceptional cases
 thus assuring roadways which will b.
 adequate to future traffic needs"

ROAMER |S THE
 PERSONALIZED
 AUTO 1T TODAY

One of the chief concerns of motor car manufacturers at present is to meet the demands of the individual ists. By individualists is meant that select group of persons who revolt against the commonplace insist that their possessions shall be some how different from those of their as sociates-distinctive personalized.
 They are the men who have found expression for their individuality in their dress, and in the. architecture and furnishing of their homes. Now they are seeking another avenue of expression in their motor cars. Auto mobiles of characterless uniformity do not appeal to them. Each demands a car which, like his apparel and nls dwelling, shall reflect his taste.
 Leading automobile builders are eX- erting themselves to the utmost to satisfy every phase of this demand. The Barley Motor Car company man ufacturers of the Roamer, for instance, have announced a new series of closed models.
 The Roamer was created to satisfy the finer phases of luxury. Exquisite poise and elegant appointments have always made it motor car of inner ent distinction Every Roamer is per sonalized by custom finish. The color of it's body, the hue and mater ial of it's upholstery and top, every intimate detail of it's finish, are worked out in accordance with the wishes or the purchaser.
 No longer content to depend alone upon their own expert corps of design CTS, the Barley Motor Car company have now entered into a contract by which the Rubay company of Cleve- land will supply four different models of Rubay closed bodies to be mounted upon the Roamer chassis.
 The Rubay company is among the highest class body builders in the country. At the automobile salons oi the past few years the exhibits whict have attracted the most attention anc won the most Commendation for then beauty have been Rubay models mounted on chassis of various makes Up to this time the Rubay company have built only custom made bodie: ranging in price from $2600 to $5000.
 The announcement of Rubay bodie. on a car of moderate price marks 2 distinct advance in motor car produc- tion. It means that the super-refine. ments of luxury heretofore attainablt only at great cost, are being placed within the reach of most of us. Int price of the most distinctive individu- ality is no longer prohibitive.

TIRE CONSTRUCTION

To many motorists-even among those who profess to know by first name every working part of their ear the construction of tires is wholly unknown. This is particularly true regarding cord tires. It is not uncom- mon to find full fledged motor bug who insists on having cord tires be cause they ride easier and last long CT" yet he hasn't the slightest con ception of what constitutes a differ

The effect of speeds, loads, traction surfaces, heat of fric- tion and the composition of materials all figured into the development of the present day tire.
 Out of all this comes the cord principle which is an even greater step forward than was the invention of the first pneumatic tire.
 Fisk cord tires are made up of layer on layer of parallel diagonal cords. each layer alternating in di- rection.

SHAW DRIVES A HARD BARGAIN
George Jean Nathan in the Century
 MagaZinel


 Magazinel
 The most grasping dramatists are generally not. as is commonly sup posed, the hack playwrights of Broad way, the Strand and the boulevards, but the best, or at least the most famous, dramatists. Rostand, with the help of shrewd counselors, prac- ticed upon Charles Frohman's French agent an auction sale of the Ameri- can rights of "Chantecler" so adroitly manipulated that Frohman was com pelled to pay an exorbitant price for those rights. Shaw's contract, which he has written himself and caused to be printed at his own expense, is three feet long, and, in addition to demand ing a flat 15 per cent of the gross re ceipts-the customary percentage is 5, 712 and 10 per cent on the first s5,000, s7,500 and s10000 respectively clairvoyantly demands a share of all tickets sold to hotel agencies and spectators at an advance over the box office price.
 To obtain the plays of such drama lists as these takes not mere "art talk" as the Rialto phrase has it, bur cold hard cash, and a great deal of it. To obtain even the good theater plays of such considerably lesser playwrights as Sacha Guitry, it is ne- cessary as in the instance of the lat ters "Durbureau," acquired by David Belasco, and "L'Illusioniste," acquired by A. H. Woods, to put up a substan- tial bonus of from s5.000 to $10,000

TESTS SHOW INNER
 TUBES VARY IN SIzE:

A set of interesting figures has. just been compiled by the Michelin Tire company showing the varying diame- ters of inner tubes of the same branded. size.
 Most motorists probably believe that all inner tubes made for a cer- tain size of tire are of the same sleugth and diameter but this is not the cease.
 Of twelve leading makes of inner tubes recently measured in the Niche lin laboratories. no two were alike. in diameter, the difference between the smallest and the largest being as much as 15 per cent
 The Michelin tube, it is said has 8 much larger diameter than the aver age of other tubes. Michelin tubes are made on circular cores to the exact shape and size of the inside of the casing. Other tubes are made on straight cores and are forced into circular shape by inflating inside the casing.
 The Michelin Tire company offers to send report about tube measure ments to the interested motorists.

SUMMER TRIP NOT NECESSARY

A husband need not pay his wife's expenses at a summer resort if he stands ready and willing to provide suitably for her at his home This decision was announced the other day by the appellate division in reversing a city court order directing Harry I Hush to- pay bill for s179 presented by Mrs. Catherine Stevens.
 Mrs. Stevens boarded Mrs. Hush and her four children in the country last summer.

 However, it was held that the SO Ijourn of Hush's fami1y in the country was not necessary.

 The Paige-Detroit Motor Car com pany recently received a letter from their distributor in Wellington, New Zealand. The writer in commenting on the economy of Paige cars re- marks that their low fuel consumption is of great importance in Wellington, as gasoline sells there for from s1.00 to $1.50 a gallon retail.
 He points out, therefore, that the fact that owners of Paige Linwood models, who keep their motors in first class condition and carefully tuned up and adjusted are sometimes able 10 get from 22 to 25 miles to a gallon and that several in the taxi service in this city are reporting 21 miles to the gal Ian has been a big factor i'll the popu- larity of the Paige in New Zealand.

manufacturers can produce under present conditions. Therefore. it is natural that those buyers who get their orders in ahead are the ones who will get deliveries ahead, while others who hold off ordering must continue to wait until the above conditions have been remedied and there are cars for everybody.
 Just when such a time will arrive is hard to say although the makers are going at top speed. If this coun- try can absorb over six million cars and trucks up to 191T-1S-the year 1919-20 with its new problems and increased activities will surely demand mOre'

FUEL ECONOMY VITAL
 WITH ALL MOTORISTS
Whats your gasoline mileage?

Whats your gasoline mileage?
 That question and the current cost of fuel represent topics of never ceas- ing interest to motorists the world over. Gasoline economy is one of the vital factors in operating an automo- bile and next to the mileage he gets out of a gallon the motorist is most interested in what the price cards say when he rolls by the filling stations.
 American motorists have sometimes been inclined to put the price of gaso- line among the items responsible for the high cost of living, no matter what mileage they may be receiving. The current cost of about 25c a gallon is certainly high enough, but ones view. point is changed a bit when the price charged in other countries is consid-

TO SING GERMAN OPERA
IN ENGLISH IN NEW YORK
Metropolitan Company to Present
Wagner's "Parsifal" in Sea-
sons Repertoire.

NEW YORK, November fisherman
opera sung in English will be one of
the unusual features of the Metropoli-
opened here last night. Wagner's
"Parsifar' will be sung, but not in
German. 1t has been announced that
lit is not probable that the German
language will be heard on the Metro
politan stage for many years"
Another opera by an American COM
poser will be produced. So far no
American work has remained per-
manently in the Metropolitan roper
toire, but Mr.. Gatti-Casa has eX-
pressed his determination to pursue
the policy Of presenting American
operas. which he adopted on his TAX
ing management of the company
twelve years ago.
"Cleopatras Night" is the title of
the American opera scheduled for this
season. The book, in two scenes, is
based upon a story by Theophile Gau-
tier, while the music is by the Ameri-
can composer and conductor Henry
X. Hadley. A young American scene
painter. Norman Bel Geddes, has pro-
vided the stage setting. The Egyptian
queen will be impersonated by Nine
Frances Aida.
Eight Americans are among more
than dozen new artists engaged for
this season. In addition all the old
favorites have been re-engaged
Expenses Of producing grand opera
have enormously increased during the
past few years, according to Mr.. Gatti-
CasaZza. 1t is estimated that the aver
age cost per performance at the

and $1,000. Prices of orchestra and
