STEFANSsON'S MEAT PLAN

Outside advices state that Stefans-
son, the Arctic explorer, is planning
to have Canadian caribou or reindeer
/. shipped to the. markets of the central
part of the continent. He plans to get
tho supply from the area north of
Edmonton.
The news may sound chimerical to
some To those who know the North
and have observed or studied the
achievements in other regions the
Stefansson undertaking will appeal
as full of promise The region from
Hudson bay to Boring strait teens
with reindeer, and in places there are
thousands of the animals in single
herds. Yukon has her share of them.
The domesticated caribou or reindeer
of Lapland live on similar MOSES,
and are Of great commercial value in
northern Siberia, Lapland, Norway
and Alaska. Canada under intensi-
fed systems of production will be
able to outstrip any records to date.
Possibly half of the landed area of
the Dominion is suitable for the in
dustry.
The American government took up
the reindeer industry twenty years
ago Systematically, and her experts
estimate that Alaska alone has graz
w. crffi nin tn
to twenty million head of stock of
the kind adaptable to the Arctic and
sub-Arctic realm. This estimate in
cludes the possibility of raising the
ordinay cattle and sheep, which now
already is done on some of the milder
strips of the Alaska coast.
Alaska already has somewhere be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 reindeer,
which make her natives wealthy and
Independent. Many Of their animals
are being sold in the Alaskan markets
for meat, and considerable shipm ents
have been sent south to Seattle and
other markets.
Lapland sends to market annually
$4,000 reindeer out of her total herds
of 100000 thus sustaining $4,000 peo-
pie in comfort. 1t has been estimated
Alaska could be made to increase her
reindeer herds to two million, and
thus sustain 100000 population. This
would be more than twice the poula-
ton of Alaska today.
Yukon could be made equally pro-
ductive with Alaska, Scandinavia or
Lapland, in proportion to area. Stef-
ansson deserves much credit for hav-
ing come forward with his meat pro-
ject for Canada. Grenfell and others
have undertaken similar work on the
Atlantic side OF the Dominion. Stef-
ansson is attempting to exploit u
much wider and more hospitable and
promising portion Of the Dominion's
Arctic grazing rounds. Tho govern
ment should give him every encour-
agement. He advocates the domesti-
cation and the preservation OF the

UNUSUAL INTEREST
IN NEW WILEYS SIX
Quantity Production Will
Bring 1t Within Reach OF
ModerateYncomes.

Ths coming of the first six cylinder
car to be given large quantity pro-
Auction has awakened keen interesl
Throughout the motor world. Rumors
Of new light six embracing seVeTai
revolutionary features have been cur
rent for months past. but not until the
preliminary announcement or the car
accompanying the public Offering OF pre-
ferred stock of the WHY'S Corporation
was given out, was 1t known WHO sloou
sponsor for this car.
This is the first and only car pro-
duced by the WHY'S Corporation, whlcn
Is the big concern headed by John N
willys devoted heretofore TO the pro
duction of the auto-lite, the WHY'S hsht
for the lighting of homes ana tarns,
and the new process transmission ana
differential gears. -
II IS reported that the difficulties
which have stood in the way OF produc-
ton of six cylinder cars in large guam
titles have been eliminated by raoicaily
new ideas of construction.
lust what these are have not been
made public as yet, but new principle
of spring suspension Is one of them.
The new spring gives the car the riding
qualities of a 142 inch wheel base,
though the actual wheel base is but l12
inches.
All of the features of the car nave
been thoroughly tested out over period
of two years. totalling a distance OF 2oO'-
600 miles. During these tests the new
six proved an average of seventeen to
twenty miles a gallon of gasolene, due
to its unusual light weight-2'lOo
pounds-and to new efficiencies of the
engine.
Production is being FASTENED In the
DuAsenberg Motors plant at Elizabeth
N. j., recently purchased and greatly
enlarged and amplified by the WHY'S
Corporation
If the car even approximates the econ
omies reported established by the two
years of testing it will undoubtedly
create @ stir in the six cylinder field
and with quantity production it Is freely
predicted that it will rapidly become

able to travel much greater distances
and cannot help but reduce maintenance
and repair expense and save the chassis
from the shocks and strains brought
about by the use of solid tires.
At the recent summer session OF the
Society of Automotiye Engineers, held
at Ottawa Beach, Mich, the prediction
was made by a truck expert that the
time was not far distant when truck
manufacturers would turn out two dis
tinct types Of motor trucks, one for
solid tires and the other for pneumatic
tires. In line with this prediction !
believe 1t will be but short time before
truck manufacturers will be building
So per cent. of their output of two and
half ton trucks to take nothing but
pneumatic cord truck tires.
There are a number of advantages TO
be derived from the use of pneumatic
truck tires which cannot be overlooked
by the truck purchaser. Chief among
these advantages is that Of increased
speed When a truck user learns that
one of his trucks can do twice as much
work on pneumatic tires as 1t could on
solids he will not hesitate because Of
the initial additional cost When he
learns that his truck equipped with
pneumatic tires Is not in the repair shop
one-third of the time that the truck
with solid tires is he will find an added
reason for using pneumatic tires. In
addition to this the truck owner win
find that he can haul all kinds Of ma
terials without breakages that are in
Cured on trucks equipped with solid
tires. Large fleet owners of trucks who
figure the cost a mile on every tire they
purchase are seeing the advisability OF
pneumatic truck tire equipment and are
changing over their trucks from solids
to pneumatic daily
It Is a matter OF record that pneumatic
truck tires in a number Of Instances
have decreased maintenance expense as
much as 60 per cent. on trucks which
had been operated on solid tires. Aside
from this there is a saving in gasolene
and oil consumption of approximately 35
to 40 per cent. and there is saving In
claims for breakaSe OF cargo.
1t Is not unusual for truck equipped
with pneumatic tires to travel as fast
as forty miles an hour. i know, for in
stance. of a bus line in Washington, D.
c., which has bus that makes a round
trip each day averaging twenty-e!gsI
and a half miles an hour for the entire
trip. In this trip seventeen stops are
made, necessitatlng that the bus attain
q speed of as high as forty-four miles an
hour between stops. Along with this
performance II might interest the user
to know that this bus has received as
high as 1900 miles on nobby tires
This shows clearly the additional work
that trucks are able to do when they can
be driven at high speed, and at the
| same time with safety.
There are certain locations through
out the United States where a truck
equipped with solid tires cannot operate
because of insufficient traction due to

PNEUMATICS SPEED
up TRUCKS WORK
Also Cut Down Repair Bills,
Says United States Tire
Official.
BY w. ". LOGAN,

Manager Pneumatic Truck Tire Depart
.nevt, United States Tire Company.
The development Of large pneumatic
cord tires for motor trucks means a
great deal to truck users throughout the
country in effecting large savings in the
cost of truck operation and in greatly
Increasing the radius over which truck
may operate in its days work. 1t has
set the motor world to thinking on the
problem of getting the full benefits 1t
makes possible.
The United States Tire Company Is
the pioneer pneumatic truck tire manu-
facturer. In 1909 the development de-
partment Of this company started an
Investigation to find out whether pneu-
matte tires could be used on heavy duty
trucks. This investigation resulted In
experiments with this type OF tire In
1910. These experiments proved very
satisfactory, and late in the same year
the first pneumatic truck tire was built
in the Morgan & Wright factory Of tht
United States Tire Company.
Early in 1911 three Reliance trucks
were equipped with SS by s nobby tread
tires of fabric construction. 1t is re-
markabie fact that these three trucks
have been in service continually up to
the present day. carrying approximately
twenty tons Of freight every day. No
clearer illustration could be desired OF
the fact that trucks which run on pneu-
matte tires live a long time.
These large fabric tires demonstrated
their value at once in the remarkable
effect they had upon the truck chassis.
The elimination of trouble with the
truck was Immediately noted, vibration
was materially reduced. and We learned
after a few months that the truck was
doing twice as much work as 1t had
done previously.
Experiments were continued at our
Detroit factory until the nobby cord
tire was perfected and placed on the
market.
One Of the very tangible results Of the
advantage OF these tires Is that there
is not a truck manufacturer of any con-
sequence who is not at work on the de-
velopment of a truck especially con-
structed for pneumatic truck tires. The
engineers Of these manufacturers realize
fully that trucks travelling upon air are

sandy or muddy condition Of the soil.
have in mind one instance in Mary
land where a company decided to lay
up their trucks for the winter, due to
the condition of the roads. They equipped
their trucks with pneumatic tires and
found that the traction permitted them
to operate their trucks throughout the
entire winter. In Arkansas company
operating a large fleet of trucks had
come to the conclusion that they would
havo to discontinue the use of their
trucks during the winter months on ac-
count of lack of traction with solid tires.
This company will equip It's trucks with
pneumatics and as consequence will be
able to work all winter.
Another attractive feature of pneu-
matte truck tires Is that they can be
applied and dismounted on the road in
stead Of having to be applied or re-
moved at a service station as in the
case Of solid tires.
A phase of the deslrability Of the pneu-
matte truck tire in which every delivery
user is vitality concerned is that OF mileage
service OF course every one knows that
any make or type of tire will give phe-
nomenal mileage once in a while in iso-
lated cases. A performance of this ma
ture proves absolutely nothing, and II
our truck ppeumatics had to rely on such
Instances al proof of their reliability we
would consider that they were still in
the experimental stage.
But the records show q uniformity of
fine performance and we have affidavits
showing where tires have given 10000,
10000 and in some instances $4,000
miles of service on entire sets. We
have innumerable letters from users
showing mileages Of from $4,000 to 3o.-
900 miles without a puncture. Actual
records in the Fourth Assistant Post
master-Generars office at Washington
d. c., show tire after tire and set after
set that have rendered more than 10000
miles. When we see this kind of rec
ord we know that the hour has arrived
when pneumatic truck tires have come
into their own and that they are nc
longer an experiment.
One OF the most prominent engineers
In the truck industry has made the state
ment that ito operate a truck success
fully on pneumatic tires the truck
should be specially designed and that
the truck should be on the order OF
the large passenger car chassis rather
than the way trucks are constructed to-
day" This is true. But the heavy built
truck of to-day can. with no change other
than that of preparing tho wheels for
pneumatic tires, show a very large saw
ing in operating cost This has been
fproved time after time on numerous
makes of trucks where trucks were
originally designed for solid tire equip
ment.
We must not forget that In any case
practical results are what count,
and regardless OF any theoretical ideas
that may be advanced our pneumatic
truck tires have far exceeded anything
that has ever been claim ed for them.

The demand for space at the National
automobile shows this year by the man
ufactIrers of parts apd accessories Is
exceeding all records. From all tndica-
tons this years automobile shows, both
at New York and Chicago, will be the
greatest in the history of the industry.
These conclusions are based on the
applications already received by the
Motor and Accessory Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION. as announced by M L. Hem
inway, general manager. y
"Tha healthy condition Of the auto
motive industry is demonstrated clearly
by the enthusiastic interest displayed py
ali manufacturers in both the passenger
and truck shows that will take place
next January in New York and Chi
cago," said Mr.. Heminway.
"The 1920 shows will mark an epoch
In the industry, for the manufacturers
are going into them with fresh vigor
and zeal. ready to make up for the ao-
normal years caused by the war.
Nothing is more significant or the
sound readjustment TO the conditions OF
peace than the universal desire to make
the shows this year the largest and most
representative since the establishment
of the national automobile exhibitions.
All manufacturers are on their toes. Not
satisfied with the present prosperity, they
are wisely planning ahead for years to
come, constantly improving, enlarging
and advancing, to increase the efficiency
and Rdaptability of their products"
