NEW FIXTURES AT
 GOODYEAR SHOP

The fixtures for the new shoe shin ing parlor to be operated in connec- tion with the Goodyear Shoe Repair ing Shop, arrived last night and were installed. They will be ready for use this morning.
 The shining stand is of the very leatest design, and has an arrange ment providing for the release of the foot rests from the stand so that customers cas get down off the chairs without being hampered. These rests fit in sockets on the base of the stand and when the boy has finished his shine he lifts the rests out of the sockets removing them from the stand. There is no danger of trip ping or catching skirts or trouser legs in the foot rests as there was in the old style stands.
 The fixtures are made of oak, mar ble and nickle plated metal and are very attractive.

FLYING CIRCUSES
 WILL BE FEATURE
 OF VICTORY LOAN
Aviators Will Perform Many Novel Feats for
 Spectators.

' One Of the great flying circuses of the greatest flying program the Unit ed States has ever known. to be of reGed in connection with the Victory Liberty Loan campaign, is to visit the Eighth Federal Reserve District and give some wonderful demonstrations of the flying art as developed over the battlefields of Europe at four of our leading cities.
 The flyers who will take part are made up of the most daring heroes of the air service of America, Great Britain and France, specially chosen by their governments for this service in the Victory Loan campaign. The delegation of eight French flyers to make up a part of the great squad
 ron are already an their Jay to this country and will probably be on the ground when this is printed. One of the French flyers has a rec
 ord of 43 victories over German ad- versaries. Another made 179 bomb- ing trips over the German lines. Six will be in the party of British flyers and our Government has been assur- ed by the British Government that they will be the six best flyers de- veloped during the war
 Have Hun Machines. Among the planes to be used by the flyers are fourteen German Fox ker planes captured by General Per- shing's men, which have landed at Newport News and will be shipped at once to Washington and turned over to the Treasury Department for the period of the Loan campaign. These German planes are all in splendid flying condition and will be used in all of the flying expeditions. Also the best types of American planes de- velopad and constructed durnng the war will be part of the squadron to demonstrate to the American people what has been achieved as a result of their generous response in form CT campaigns.
 The flyers and planes for the trips will be under the direction of the Bu-
 reau of Publicity of the Victory Loan Organization, Frank R. Wilson, Di-
 rector. The actual flights will be un-
 der the direction of the Military Aeronautics Branch of the War De-
 partment, with Capt. Leon Richard son in charge.
 SSc SyCN1dI
 1 Each squadron will be carried in a l special train of eleven cars travelling
 at night. Nine end door baggage cars ! will be required to carry the seven teen air planes in each suadron. Ar
 officer will proceed each train, meet local Loan Committees and make ar
 engagements for landing fields and the
 entertainment of the flyers.
 l Photographers of the signal Corps
 will accompany each squadron ant ] take war pictures of each American city visited.
 The general program to be followed
 in each city visited will be as fol
 lows: Two American Scout planes
 will rise to drop Victory Loan litera 1 ture the city. Four German planes
 will then attack these two American ] planes in the air. Four American l planes will then drive off the German planes and the flyers will give dem onstrations of aerial acrobaEics

WHY PARTS FAILURES OCCUR

Every automobile owner at one
time or another has had occasion TO
study repair bill for replacement of
| broken or injured parts. and once. at
least. has endeavored to show the
| manufacturer that the failure was
| due to poor material When a part
breaks for no apparent reason the
| owner comes to, the conclusion that
the material was poor. A recent case
of axle trouble will illustrate the
point. An owner broke five differen-
tial ring gears in succession and not
one lasted more than six months.
three OF them only a few hundred
miles. This owner insisted that the
gear material was of an inferior
grade and promptly told the car max
er so. but an investigation showed
that the ring gear was not running
true. that there was point contact of
teeth. and even the strongest nickel
steel gear might break down under
such conditions.
II is quite true that many parts.
such as axle shafts, motor supports,
crankshafts. pistons, etc. may break
if the material is of poor quality. but
in the majority of cases even the
poorest grade of metal for that par

period. The design of the part has
as much to do with breakage as the
material from which it is made. as
suming of course that proper lubri-
eating conditions are maintained.
1t may be difficult for the owner
of an automobile to understand why
tool marks on an axle shaft cause
breakage. but as a matter of fact this
may actually be the case. Tool marks
on a bearing surface is exactly like
having few high spots to take the
wear and strain. Looking at the
part with the naked eye it is hard
to see why it should break because of
a few grooves in it. a highly pol
ished surface has n greater area of
contact than an unfin q ed surface.
hence il will not wear so much and
can stand up for a longer period. For
| this reason many cheap cars, though
made of good materials and well de-
signed but cheapened by labor sav-
ing, give lot of trouble in smaller
parts. Closely allied with mere tool
marks as a cause OF breakage comes
a design error which employs sharp
corners instead of rounded corners.
! If you will look at the wheel spindle
of your car you may notice that its
innermost end is rounded of instead
of squared off. Where it is squared
of the chance OF br-akage is greater
The accurate finishing of parts and
the rounding of corners all take time
and cost money. hence II is not usual
to find this carried out to a great
extent on any but high grade cars.
Vibration is arother common cause
of failure. Crankshafts perhaps mu,e
| than any part receive a great deal of
vibration because of the various
forces acting on this part and the
speed at which it runs. In some
cars which habitually mistire this vi

USED CAR IS BESTMEANS
OF HOLDING CUSTOMERS

The present outlook for getting
anything near the number Of cars
to supply the demand for the next
year OF, so Is not very encouraging.
Motor car manufacturers are doing
everything in their power to get
their plants back to a peacetime
quantity. production. and some are
successful to an extent. But the
factories that actually supply the
finished product OF the automotive
industry are themselves in sore
straits. due to the shortage of parts.
The automotive parts manufac.
turers at this time are going
through the readjustment period.
and are unable to get quantity pro-
duction, due to labor and other
troubles. Therefore. 1t will be
sometime before either the manu-
facturers of automotive parts or
automobiles will Sbe able to supply
the demand.
The wise dealer who is looking
into the future success OF his busi-
ness. knows these conditions will
prevail for some time, and is taking
the next best means of keeping his
customers satisfied by developing
the used car department to its Iegit-
innate state of efficiency.
