Booklet Tells Story of
Pneumatic Truck Tires
Large Amount of Information
for Vehicle Operators in
L. S. Tire Pamphlet

Every scrap Of specific information
regarding the actual performances of
pneumatic truck tires is snatched up
eagerly by motor truck owners, who
realize that the success Of the big tires
will open up wide the field Of motor
truck usefulness.
In ffty-page book entitled "Facts
About Pneumatic Truck Tires" recent
ly issued by the United States Tire
Company, are set forth many facts
about truck tire development that deal
in a very definite way with the tire
problems Of the truck operators. The
opening article deals with the early
efforts of the company to make q sat
isfaetory pneumatic for trucks, which
resulted in 1911 in the manufacture of
the first pneumatic truck tire, and
finally in the perfection of the Nobby
Cord.
There is an array of statistics as to
actual performances of pneumatic
truck tires in every conceivable line Of
business, as we'll as information re
garding proper imitation and methods
of mounting and demounting the big
tires. The chief purpose of the book
is to show that at the same time that
they render sturdy service truck pneu-
matics effect big economies for truck
owners along several distinct lines, IS
follows: Increasing speed, thus enlarg
ing hauling radius; reducing repair
charges resulting from vibration and
Jars; decrease in gasolene and OIL con-
sumption, elimination OF breakage Of
cargo, and lessenng of depreciation.

As they did two years ago when the
freight car shortage reached an alarm

thcir organization. which extends to
virtually every locality in the United
States. to cooperate IN the speed up
campaign"
Dodge Brothers executive says:
We have asked all our dealers TO
notify US by wire as soon as they dis

Rebuilding Used Cars

How 1t Works Out for the Bene.
fit of Studebaker Clientele
Is Told bv Jones

"The problem OF the used car buyer
IS one of the utmost Importance to the
automobile industry, particularly now
when the shortage of new cars is so
great said l. c. Jones, New York rep
resentative Of the Studebaker Corpora
ton.
"Thc majority Of buyers of used cars
never owned car before. They know
little or nothing of automobile me-
chanics. If they follow the usual GUS
tom Of buying the car 'as is after q
cursory inspection and short demon
stration, they may wake up in few
weeks to find that they have bought
an EXPENSE account rather than q
means of enjoyment. Even the expert
onced mechanic is running risk when
buying car 'as is There are so
many ways an interruptions dealer can
doctor up. and temporarily conceal
faults, that it is almost impossible to
tell the true condition without taking
down The entire machine.
Realizing this dependency of the
buyer, and also that regulations Of
both the dealer and the maker Of the
car depended so greatly on service the
used car gave after in service, Stude-
baker some time ago stopped selling
used cars as is. Every Stude baker
car they take in exchange for new
Studebaker is sent to the service sta
ton where it is dsmantled and re
built. 1t is then put on the salesroom
floor with its history, and sold with a
definite guarantee.
"The result of this four square pol
icy has been most gratifying. A con-

used cars come back and buy new

Tax on AU Vehicles

Speaking generally, motor cars
are the only vehicles which are COM
PEELED to pay any tax for the use
of roads, while horsedrawn vehi-
cles escape entirely. Whether this
proportion of exemption is fair or
unfair, or should be increased, is
matter which the Legislature will
soon have to decide.
A great many difficulties, however,
will present themselves before any
serious alteration can take place.
Looking from the viewpoint Of road
destruction, the horsedrawn vehicle
is responsible for some damage, and
such taxation would only be entirely
just from the road makers and au-
tomobile users' point Of view

Official Statement.

one official put it, was laid on today
with the official report of the muir
der of James Wallace, an American
oil man, by Carranza soldier neal
Tampico on Wednesday. The StatI
Department summarized its advicei
in this formal statement:
James Wallace, an American EN-.
ploye of an American oil company
near Tampico, was murdered by 8
Mexican Federal soldier at Potrerc
del Llano on Wednesday, November
26. The murderer was not taken in
to custody.
According to the departments adj
vices, the officer in charge of troops
camped in the vicinity claimed that
Wallace had provoked the murder.
The department has been informed
as the result of an investigation, that
a mule on which Wallace was riding
to the place of his employment SHE'D
at a machine gun which it was pass
ing, overturning the gun. The sol
der Immediately shot Wallace, the
bullet striking him in the neck and
killing him instantly.
Believed w. M. Wallace.
The Wallace referred to is believ-
ed here to be W. M. Wallace, en-
ploye of the Gulf Refining Company,
Familiarity known to his associates as
Sim" Wallace recently went to
Tampico, after having been in Co.
lunlbia fer the Gulf Company. He
is about 40 years old.
The Mexican ambassador, Ignacio
Bonillas, called on Secretary Ian
ing at the State Department late
today, and they not only went over
the Jenkins case, but Mr.. Lansing
also laid before the Mexican envoy
the report on the killing of Wallace,
which has just been received. Their
conference was, of course, confden-
tial, but it is understood that the
secretary conveyed to President Car
ranza's representative message
more forceful and direct than any
yet transmitted in any diplomatic
note.
Mr.. BOnillas was informed that
the department placed no credence
in the charges on which Jenkins is
held in jail at Peubla in which the
Mexican government declines to in
tervene, and it is understood that Mr.
Lansing further outlined to the am
bassador the inevitable consequences
of continued murders and molesta-
lions of Americans, probably more
pointedly than was done in the Gov
ernments official note of last July.
Another American Killed.
About the same time word came
in-of the death of another American
as the result Of. brutal treatment of
bandits who held him for ransom.
He was Otto Lund, of Swedish birth,
a naturalized American, who died of
blood poisoning, after being held for
ransom for five months in the state
Of Mayarit. His captors chopped
off one Of his fingers with foul
weapon and wrapped il within their

written demand for ransom money
which they sent to his friends in Te-
pic. Blood poisoning and gangreen
killed the man, while his wife, an
American woman, and their child are
reported in want in Topic.
The murder Of Wallace however,
assumed proportions of overshadow-
ing Importance. Poerero del Liano,
the ranch on which he was murder
ed, is six to nine miles south of Tam
pico. The oil pipe lines of the
Aguilar, Gulf Refining and Huasteca
Oil Companies run through the pro-
perty When word of his death was
received here the officials of all three
companies were communicated with
for Identification. The Gulf Com
pany's Office at Houston, Tex, re-
sponded that Wallace probably was
w. NJ. Wallace, who was known to
be in the Tampico district and on
the Poterero del Llano property.
If the Identification be correct,
Wallace is the eighth employee of the
Gulf Company to meet death at the
hands of Mexicans in the Tampico
district and the eighth American to
be killed in Mexico since July %,
when the United States warned Car
rama that further murders of Amer
leans would seriously effect the re-
lations between the two countries.

No more applications for pardons
will be considered by Governor
Black during the remainder Of his
term in office. The governor made
this decision because of the rush of
official business and the critical i'll
ness of his brother, John A. Black,
of BarbOurville. Gov. Black was
notified that his brother had been in
jured by horse and as he is so
years of age, very little hope is en-
tertained for his recovery.
