TOURIST EXISTING MAY BE HALTED ON
 CALIFORNIA ROADS

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 2s.-Eastern auto tourists feastfng along the road sides on California fruits, threaten to cause revision of the traffic laws in the vicinity of Los Angeles.
 A curious situation has developed as a result of what are highway mar kets." These are fruit and vegetable stands scattered throughout the sub urbs on the edges of orchards and truck gardens.
 The trouble comes from auto parties stopping on heavily travelled highways to purchase the tempting displays fresh from the fields. Congestion and delay result, especially where the lit tie markets are opposite each other as is frequently the case. There is no law to enforce motorist to shorten his stay or move off the road.
 In the case of repairs on car or other necessities for stopping, the law decrees that the four wheels of the car must be off the road. In buying fruit and vegetables, however, the car may stop as long as the owner desires, in the roadway. The tourists are de- lighted with the present arrangement, while the natives, although not want ing to displease their guests, are ap- pealing to the chamber of commerce, and the automobile club of southern California for some sort of relief.

St. Paul. came the report that the sale of trucks and tractors all over the northwest has smashed all records this year." he says. In the opinion of the Firestone company. with it's many Ship By Truck Bureaus in all the large centers, the motor truck is not awaiting the building of hard roads in the rural section. The farmer wants the assurance that he can use a truck twelve months in the year. before he invests in one. but according to these Bureaus he is finding out very rapid ly that the Giant Pneumatic Cord tire on truck makes it usable all the year round, on graded dirt roads. From my observations and studies, the cord tire for trucks will take the truck over the worst stretches of muddy road and re- duce the cost of repairs to a minimum
 Tn the Salt River Valley, we are getting an ever increasing number of inquiries from farmers and agricul- turalists for information on the Mar mon car. Personally, I have never seen a Marmon that did not sell another one, when sold to a farmer, as their social atmosphere makes for closer cooperation and visit than in the city, and tEey exchange views with one another on many business matters, one of which is the purchasing of the proper type of car for rough country
 work.

NEED ROAD ENGINEERS

fFrom the Scientific American.)
 In a recent issue of the Engineering New Record, attention is called to the weakness of road engineering courses in our colleges and universities com pared with the great need for trained road engineers and material inspec- tors. Tn order to become railroad engineer a man. after graduating from a college in which he has taken sev- eral courses in engineering. is obliged to work under the supervision of an experienced resident engineer so that he becomes thoroughly grounded in practical railroading. On the other hand, there are few schools which de- vote much attention to the subject of highway engineering and the men who take charge of the construction and maintenance of our public roads afe largely untrained and inexperienced Furthermore. they are constantly changing because of political changes. We are preparing to spend many mil lions of dollars in road construction and the spending Of this money should be placed under the control of men who have received proper elucation and experience. There should be short courses for the many road officials who are not engineers and the public should be educated by means of public lectures, exhibits and articles in the press

BUS MANAGER GETS B|G MILEAGE FROM
 J. $. ROYAL CORDS

A. D. Hartzell of the White Line which operates buses between Tampa and Lakeland. Florida, has been ex- perimenting with tires to ascertain how he can get the most miles for the money. Until he began ais experi- ments he was satisfied with 1000 or 4,0e0 miles from tire, in view of the heavy service required of his buses.
 His recent experiments show that on one hundred United States Royal Cords he received an average of Il, 2 500 miles. All tires were recorded by wheel, and when one was removed, the cause of removal was shown. One of the tires showed 25.420 miles, and second delivered two miles under 10000 miles.
 The conpanys buses weigh 4,S00 pounds. and are frequently loaded with as many as twenty-four passen- gers, and there have been many oc- casions when, with the running boards full, thirty persons were carried. The buses makes schedule and frequent ly have to make fast time. The tires get hard usage and adequate atten- ton cannot always be given to such important matters as imitation.
 Recently big Nobby Cord pnumatics have been tried out. The first set of these had given 16,000 miles on the rear wheels when a cut required a re- pair to one of them. The pair was then placed on the front wheels, where they gave 4.000 miles mora

TRAFFIC SAFETY Is BIC
 PHASE IN IF [

Tbe national railroad administra- ton recently inaugurated a No Acci- Bent Week" in which all employees of he srailways now under government control took part and gave hearty CO., operation with the result that proved highly satisfactory in all respects. There was notable improvement in Ahe soperation of all branches of the service and accidents were cut down to practically nothing.
 This is interesting to all motorists andzworthy of general and permanent adoption by the various automobile as- sociations Any public movement cal culated to lessen disaster and ccnse- uuent personal injury from motor traf- fic deserves hearty and unstinted en- couragement, because accidents are much too frequent and can be avoided if proper care is exercised.
 Constantly and rapidly increasing motor traffic for both pleasure and business is now a matter of serious consideration for all concerned. The careless, negligent driver is more than a. nuisance; he is a positive menace to safety. But the careless driver is not the only one to blame; the man who neglects the sound condition of his car is equally culpable.
 Aside from careless and reckless driving, more than 90 per cent of all motor car accidents" sre due to de- fective wheels caused by loose spokes. Spokes must be kept tight and securely in place or the very foundation of the car is impaired and accidents are then almost inevitable"
 Drive carefully and keep your spokes tight by looking for and correcting wheel trouble before serious damage results.

QUESTIONS AND
 ANSWERS

 o. I have ben having trouble try ing to get my car to have better pick up. I seem to be wrong on the car bureter adjustment, as everything else is all right. What I want to know is which gives the better results, a rich or q a-lean mixture2
 A. The slightly rich mixture is the better.
 Q. I read recently that Cannonball Baker drove from Canada to Mexico on a motorcycle. Is this the same man who drove from coast to coast in Cadillac? What kind of a motorcycle did he drive and did he drive at night? What ignition was used and if battery how did he keep the battery charged?
 A. Baker recently drove from the Canadian side of Blaine, Wash, to Tia jnana, Mexico. He is the one who broke the transcontinental record in a 1 Cadillac. In his recent drive he used an Indian, which he drove day and night, taking occasional hours for sleep. Ife used a standard Splitdorf DU generator. This generator fed two large lamps, which made it easy to drive at night. Ignition was by Dixie magneto.
 1 Q. intend to rebuild my car into 2 l speedster and wont to know where I can buy blue print or plan of a speed ster body so I can build it without any trouble.
 ] A. do not know of any one making a practice of selling body plans.
 0. What can one use to remove rust from the inside of cylinders? The side of my engine is continually sloppy with oil and I cannot find any place where 1t leaks. The breather is on the other side, too.
 A. I. Diluted hydrochioric acid is a good rust remover. 2. Probably leaks down through the valve guides.

FARMERS BUY AUTOS
 AND ENTER LIST IF
 GOOD ROAD BOOSTER


 Good roads advocates throughout the United States are finding their enthusiasm raised to higher voltage by reports emanating from St. Paul early this month Indicating that the per capita stride in the ownership of autos is much swifter in the country than in the city," declares C. E. Girzzard. of the firm of William E. Gardner com pany.
 Ten years ago the city man who owned a pleasure car wanted long stretches of good road in the country. while the farmer wos not enthusiastic. Today the farmer has become the owner of, or is buying. a passenger car or truck, and is pressing the legis- lative powers for good roads with greater force than the city man ever did he states.
 According to Girzzard, Arizona is among the leading states per capita for the number of cars. Arizona has Ills people to each car. as compared to such states as Iowa, with S1; Kan sas with 10.7; California with 79. which is very good showing for this state There are large number of states in the Union with larger popu- Elatiors than Arizona and better road conditions, that do not rank per capita with us.

CLEVELAND TO HAVE SUBWAY
(From the Cleveland Plain Dealero

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
 Construction of three main subway sections, a terminal beneath Public Square, and unification of all trans portation systems, involving an initial outlay of approximately Is million dollars, are said to be the main recom- mendations of the Cleveland rapid transit report which is in the hands of the rapid transit commission.
 It is based on the needs of a popu- lation estimated at close to 1 million today, 1h millions within the nexi ten years, and millions within twenty years.
 The idea of the whole scheme. it is indicated by engineers familiar with the progress of negotiations, is for the subway and rapid transit system to bt constructed in progressive steps as warranted by the city's needs, but fol all work to be so planned that early

BUILD TIRE STRENGTH
 WHERE WEIR IS MOST MADE BY l REPUBLIC

The ideal contour or a pnumatic tire Is one which has the wear where the wear is" as nearly as practicable. The wear comes where the thread touches the ground, and any superflous rubber built into the sides makes the motorist pay for rubber that he cannot use.
 In properly designing tire it is nee essary to adjust the contour, however, to suit three factors-the type of car cass, the thread design and the con- sistency of the tread stock. For tais reason it is necessary in some cases to build up the treads at the sides.
 The graceful slenderness of some tires is not the result so much of striv- ing for good looking tire as it is of the policy of not wasting buyers money by placing large amounts of rubber in spots where no wear oc- CUTS. The lightness and sIenderness of United States tires find their explan- stion in part of this fact.

DON'T BLAME GoLDENRoD FOR
 HAY FEVER
Scientific Americanl


 A protest has recently been raised against the time -honored project of adopting the goldenrod as the national flower of the United States, on the ground that this plant is a cause of hay fever and hence nothing ought to be done that would encourage its prev alence. A statement has now been issued by Dr. W. Scheppegrell, on behalf of the American Hay Fever Prevention association, in defense of the goldenrod. It is asserted that while the pollen of the goldenrod may cause trouble when applied directly to the nostrils or used in large quantities for room decorations, as a cause of hay fever out of doors it is absolutely negligible. Tt is one of our most beau- tiful flowers, says Doctor Scheppe- grell. "and well merits its selection as the national flower of the United States"

ESSEX MOTOR CARS

everyone. No one classes it with any but the largest and more costly cars-never with cars of its weight or price class.
 Now that thousands of Essex cars have been driven more miles than is usually rolled up in season by the average automobile, owners are realizing Essex endurance.
 That is why they tell you about the small upkeep expense of the Essex. They tell you about the way in which it retains its power and wanted qualities even after the hardest service. In every endurance run entered, the Essex has made perfect scores.

It gives dependable service. It is the new day car, the type to which all moderate priced cars must come, for in addition to light weight and low operating cost, men now de- mand performance, luxury, comfort and en- durance The Essex is easy to drive. It turns in short radius. It steers easily. It can be parked in spaces too small for the average car. It has many qualities you will like.
 Ask yourself what car is so modern, what is the type of the future, what light car can match its performance It is exclusive in many particulars and no other car built has all the features of the Essex.

As For Its Performance

If you haven't ridden in the Essex take the first opportunity to do so.
 Come to and we will give you the same kind of demonstration that has caused thou sands to acknowledge Essex supremacy Watch the way in which Essex cars perform on the road. If it is at street crossing when traffic is signaled to go ahead, observe how quickly the Essex jumps to the lead. The only car that beats it is another Essex with bet ter driver.
 If you are on narrow country road where an Essex signals its intention to pass another car you will see how easy with its accelera- ton 1t can jump to the lead.
 And It Will Do That
