FIRESTONES USED BY
 MOTORCYCLE RACERS

Firestone motorcycle tires have again made an enviable record. In the eleventh San Francisco endurance run, February 22 and 23, machines equipped with Firestone non skid tires captured all the prizes except the third place professional and the first place amateur. The equipment Of all entries was 90 per cent Fire stone. More important still were the endurance records attained on pos Sbly the toughest run to be found anywhere in the United States.
 The professional race was won by Hap AlZina, on an Indian with Joe Macy in the side car. Wells Bennett riding an Excelsior shod with Fire stone tires, finished second, and Can non Ball Baker third. A special solo prize was taken by Wells Bennett, while a team of three Harley David sons. headed by Dudley Perkins, cap tured the Firestone challenge cup.
 Hap" Alzinas machine and side car were fitted with Firestone tires. These showed hardly any wear, though they covered 19O miles in the Oakland run and TOO in the San Francisco run. Alzina and Macy lead home the group of who finished from among the 2 motorcycles that tackled the 6S0 mile ordeal. Their equipment registered the only perfect score of 1000 points that was made in the races, despite rain, hail, snow, sleet sand, mud and mountain torrents.
 Bennetts solo machine was likewise shod with F'irestone. The non skid lettering was clearly visible on all Firestones at the finish, and every Firestone tube in the race finished with original air.
 In the amateur event Percy Reghul placed second. He rode 10 miles with bent forks. and his front Firestone tire was grinding against the fork side and head of bolts. Nevertheless the side of the casing was not damaged in the least.
 The run was undoubtedly the big sest event ever held in San Francisco motorcycle circles. Cannon Ball Baker made a special trip from the east to compete. Ed Garrigues, who landed fourth, came up from Los Angeles, and several riders appeared from the north.
 As classy a field of seasoned endur- ance entries participated as could well be gathered on the Pacific coast, and this, the eleventh San Francisco deal krs' and San Francisco Motorcycle club endurance run, will doubtless go down as a classic because of the ex- -raordinary conditions that prevailed

DODGE MOTOR CARS
 SERVED ]. s. WELL

When the call came for the mobili- zation of the L. $. army and the guardsmen of the sates along the Mexican border the military establish ment found that the matter of motor transport had been almost entirely overlooked.
 Hurry up orders 10 purchase motor cars were given, and General Pershing bought them by the hundreds.
 No specifications were laid down and dealers along the border sold all make $ of cars to the government.
 But the grueling work on the border and into Mexico soon tested the stam- ina of the different makes of cars and the army officers became more dis eliminating in their purchase.
 over the roadless country and under all conditions Of operation one car particularly stood out in it's depend ability and ability to stand up.
 It was soon recognized unofficialy in its class as the fayorite of the officers and men.
 Soon several hundred Of these cars were being used by the army along the border.
 When we entered tlte world war, the unofficial endorsement which had been given this car was made official by it's selection as the one car in it's class for use by the army.
 Dodge Brothers was the car that re- ceived this official distinction.
 During the war period thousands of these cars were furnished the govern ment.
 Many of them were used at the can comments and training camps of this country, and thousands of others were shipped overseas for active service on the fronts in France, in Belgium, in Russia and at the camps in England.
 The cars purchased by the govern ment included the regular touring and roadster models for use by officers, but there were many ambulances, business cars and convertable, also.
 In order to get these cars to sea- board for shipment many of them were carried crated on big motor trucks and hundreds of others made the trip to the coast ports under their own power during the severe weather of last winter.
 The universal reports from army of ficers nthe performance of Dodge Brothers cars has been extremely pleasing to the makers.

That there is urgent need of con serving the supply of gasoline, if the ever increasing demand is to be met, is pointed out by the Standard oil company. Everybody interested in gasoline including the oil refiners, au- tomobile engineers, and the govern ment itself, is giving a great deal of thought to this problem.
 The war called the attention of the people to the drastic need of avoiding waste. What the food administration did to conserve food is still Viyidly in the memory of everybody in the country. What the fuel administra ton did while just as valuable. was not so spectacular, and there are many facts about the conservation of gasoline and other petroleum products which have not hitherto been brought out.
 For the past few years the petro- leum and automobile industries have both been making great efforts to keep the supply of gasoline up to the de- mand. The oil producers have been stimulated to find new sources of sup ply, and have sunk many new wells. Oil refiners and chemical engineers have been improving processes of re fining, which have made the crude oil yield more gasoline than was thought possible 10 years ago. Automobile engineers have constantly improved the efficiency of engines and the methods of carburization, so that the gasoline used will give the greatest power and mileage.
 Tn, esait of all fhaf no fha war made it necessary to take still further measure to keep up the sup ply, The demand had become so great that the fuel administration was forced to prohibit in eastern states all non- essential use of passenger automobiles and for a time this request was so eX- tended that only automobiles in gov ernment,. emergency or war servict

TACOMA, Wash March 29.-Seven- ty-two thousand miles without repairs to the motor
 That's the record established by Hudson super six driven by Dave" Crockett on a bus run out of Tacoma. This car with a heightened frame and 14-passenger body made what is be- iieved to be a new worlds record as 'Dave" claims the engine bearings have never been touched. nor has new part been put in. The car also nas carried double the number of pas sengers for which it was designed. At enc time it brought 8 Y. M. C. A. boys fro mMount Tacoma-35 miles on all kinds of roads--with five times as many people as it was designed to carry.
 In the matter of tires also, this car has made a notable record as some of the cords used on it have covered 15,000 miles.

Need 0t Conserving Gasoline

were in use on Sunday. Fortunately them otorist of the Pacific coast was not required to undergo this hardship, Enough gasoline was produced in Cali fornia for all Pacific coast needs ana it's distribution did not require the use of transportation facilities needed for war purposes.
 However, so great was the need of conserving gasoline in all parts Of the country that President Wilson ap- pointed a government committee last summer to determine on and adopt standard specifications for gasoline and other petroleum products. This committee consisted of the U. $. fuel administration and representatives of the war and navy departments, the |. $. shipping board, the director general of railroads. the bureau of standards. It swas assisted and ad- vised by technical experts from each of these departments and bodies. After extended discussion. tests, and ex- periments this committee adopted specifications for gasoline, not only for aviation purposes, but also for general motor use. They were drawn up with a view to providing a grade of gasoline that would meet every requirement and yet allow the greatest production. They mean that our pc troleum resources will be conserved to thes best advantage and that a reasonable price to the mOtorist will be maintained.
 Drafted as they were by impartial experts these specifications are today generally considered the most practi, cal standard for gasoline since they insure efficient and satisfactory fuel at a reasonable cost
 These specifications for gasoline are for the benefit of the public as a whole. They make certain a satisfac- tory gasoline and at the same time | assure a future supply by using the crude oil to the best advantage and hv eliminating all waste.

SAGGING DOOR

Here is suggestion for straighten- ing garage door that has begun to sag. which is better than the ordinary method of planning off the bottom. Drive two heavy nails in opposite cor ners of the door and run some lengths of heavy wire between them. Slip a couple of blocks of wood under the wire and then take another spike and use it as a turnbuckle in the center of the wire. This will draw the bottom of the door up, so that it will fit it's frame properly. Finally drive the turnbuckle spike in the center of the door and the cure for sagging will be permanent

PUMP FABRICATION

In repacking the gland of water circulating pump use plenty of graphite with the packing. The spindle is seldom sufficiently lubri- cated and the graphite will go a long way toward remedying this.
