FAvORS LEAGUE
But NAMES four
RESERvA TONS
Sees No Reason Why Objects
Can't Be Obtained Without
Sacrificing u S

Washington, July 2s-Charles E.
Hughes, in a letter to Senator Hale.
has declared himself in favor OF
League of Nations, but with four res
ervations which he claims is neces-
sary to protect American interests.
The first is that any nation after Civ
ing two years notice of withdrawal
shall cease 10 become member Sec
ond, tina. questions relating to immi-
grafton, or 10 import duties, shall be
considered as domestic matters and
outside the jurisdiction OF the league
Third. that the United States, under
Article 81 OF the covenant, does not
relinquish its traditional attitude
towards purely American questions.
and may prevent the acquisition by
force of any territory, or control of
such territory. n the Western hemis-
phere by a non-American power.
Fourth. that the United States does
its army or navy in any hostile expe-
,dition not authorized by Congress.
Senator Hale had asked Judge
Hughes for his views on the matter.
and he replied: There is plainly a
demand for the league in order to ade-
quateiy develop International law and
create and maintain organs of inter
national justice and machinery for
conciiation and conference Judge
Hughes sees no reason why these OBJ
jects can not be attained without sac
rincing the essential interests of the
United States" Judge Hughes as
serted that the adoption of the reser-
vations would not necessarily mean
the failure OF the treaty II peace. or
compel a resumption of the peace con-
ference, when the reservations leave
unimpaired the main provisions of the
covenant.

This portion of the trail passes through
desolate sandy desert, which is re-

caused by the terrific downpours OF
rain which come but a few times dur

of these washes is bound to test any

Express Routes for Live stock.
Likewise-the big problem in mar
keting live stock is to get the cattle
to market in the quickest possible
time, in order to prevent loss of
weight. and insure delivery in the
best possible condition, to secure the
highest prices. If cattle are driven
for several hours. they will reach the
market in an exhausted condition. los
ing considerable in weight. and still
more in appearance.
Motor Trucks Crop Savers.
For these reasons. many cattle rails
ers and ranch owners are adopting
motor trucks for hauling cattle. and
they are finding that the saving in
time alone is more than paying for
their investment. The saving in loss
of weight and appearance of their
cattle is remarkable.
The motor truck has proven of vi
tai importance in helping the farmer
raise the bumper crops that have so
clearly demonstrated his patriotism,
and he now realizes the truck is a
necessary part Of his equipment.

HAYNES DRIVEN
225,O0O MILES
Automobile Bus Still in
Good Running Order
After Endurance Test.

How would you like to ride seven
ty-one times across America in a
motor car?
This would have been the feat ac-
complished by the Lincoln Heights
Bus Company in a car built on a
Haynes chassis, had the driver
chosen the route between New York
and San Francisco for a seventy-one
times trip.
The noteworthy Haynes was first
put on the road in August, 1915,
and driven continuously until the
latter part of 1918, when it was
sold back to the Lagerauist Car
riage and Auto Company, HAYNES
distributors at Des Moines, Iowa.
During these years of consta MT
use, very few repairs were made.
The pistons and bearings were not
changed" says Mr.. Lagerouist.
president of the Des Moines COM
pany. THE way the car is rum
ming today indicates that it is good
for many thousands of miles more" ."
1t is told that this Haynes travel
ed $4,000 miles. This is more than
seventy-one times across America,
the distance between New York and
San Francisco being 3,191 miles. To-
day the car is being used by Mr..
Lagerquist for his own driving.
when you consider the hard
usage this Haynes had to undergo,
over all sorts of roads under all
conditions during the time it was
used by the Lincoln Heights Bus
Company. this record is remarkable
and reveals the inherent stamina of
Haynes character cars" says S. NJ.
How. general sales manager of the
Haynes Automobile Company, Ko-
komo, Ind. "Of course. no factory
would guarantee every car produced
TO make such an extraordinary
showing. but it is interesting to
hear of such performances because
they prove the motor cars practic-
ability for transportation"
The Washington herald., 1919-03-23

and when, after crashing my first
Hun. / tried to regain my altitude,
the Spad refused to climb. / had to
go into a roll which got my gravity
feed into action, but by that time the
Boche were all coming at me in a
bunch with their guns splitting.
There was nothing to it but to
dive with full power, which in the
case of Spad means going down at
the rate of about 300 miles an hour,
and fortunately we were pretty high
up. With half a dozen Huns after
me 1 went down 5000 feet that way.
and though I had some trouble get
ting her out OF the dive, / managed
it and got away in spite of the fine
target / made.
Returning for a moment to the
stories of recklessness on the part
of our aviators. there were men like
Frank Luke, whose record is one OF
the brightest glories of our air serv-
ice and who gave his all, his life, to
the cause. Luke's eighteen Huns in
cluded eleven balloons. and to get a
balloon you have to go through
alti-aircraft and machine gun bar
rage and the flaming onions they
send up to protect 1t. Getting a
balloon is so much more difficult
than getting a plane. in fact, that
the Germans credited a pilot with
two victories for every balloon they
brought down.
wild Man I'm Air.
Luke. from the beginning. was a
wild man in the air. He would take
off and playfUlly do a series of loops
within a few hundred feet of the
ground. That sort of thing was strict
ly forbidden in my squadron. Men
and planes are too valuable and too
difficult to replace at the front TO
be risked unless there is a real rea-
son for the risk.
But after a run OF hard luck such
as came along sometimes-when we
had lost lot of men and the spirits
of the others were beginning to show
the strain-I used to 90 out myself
and do all sorts of stunts right out
in front of them. 1t had a surprising
moral effect. The men said: Any
way, they haven't got Rickenbacker's
goat" On the next sortie they went
up full of pep and snap and ready
to go anywhere and do anything.

Probably one Of the biggest
fields of usefulness for moeo1
trucks is the rural express route
Although this work has only been

has been done to prove that such

With such assurance. it is safe
to predict that the rural motor ex-

astonish even those who are most
confident of it's future. PrOspec-
tive truck operators should not
make mistake OF waiting for good
roads to be built before starting

TIRE TROUBLES
NEAR SOLVING
Goodyear Company Dis
covers Method for Increas-
ing Truck Mileage.

Tires have become so vital an
element of truck tire service that
their every development is worthy
of careful note. Truck users are
now coming to realize that more
depends upon the tire equipment
There has been rapid progress in
perfccting truck tires.
In the solid type of tire" says
r. S. Wilson, manager. solid tire
! department, the Goodyear Tire Il
Rubber Company. Akron. Ohio. the
S. V. tire has taken a leading po-
sition. We have been pleased and
astOnished by the mileage records
which have been achieved in all
classes OF service.
Not the least factor in our sue
cess with this type of tire is the
manner in which we have been able
to press it on to the steel rim so
firmly and securely that base sepa-
ration has become practically un-
known.
NuIcnniLinE Rubber to Steel.
During the early days of solid tire
manufacture there was no known
method of successfully vuIcanizinG soft
rubber to steel. Exhaustive expert
mentation. however. soon showed that
both soft rubber and steel could be
successfully vulcanized to hard rub
Der. So the solution of the difficulty
resolved itself into the use of strip
OF hard rubber between the soft rub
Der tread of the tire and the steel
base of the rim.
Company has carried this idea even
further. Our tire engineers discovered
that much stronger base union could
be obtained through the use of two
layers of hard rubber instead of one.
They produced strip of hard rubber
that would unite chemically with steel,
and another strip which would unite
chemically with the soft rubber. and
finally. these two strips effect chemi
cal union between themselves.
Branch Presses Established.
This obviously ideal method OF
construction has worked out with
wonderful success. mileages of 10000
and 10000 not being uncommon. and
even 4O.cOO and $1,000 being reached I'm
cases where the tires have received
adequate care and attention.
Our record along this line. OF
course, is a source of great satisfac-
tion to US. as it must also be to the
many thousands of motor truck users
who have secured economical opera
ton with them.
In backing up this tire we have
made it a point to insure service. ana
service means presses. besides other
things. We have installed presses at
all our branches and in other cities
at strategic points. so that truck own
ers desiring the pressed-on type of
tire may be taken care of promptly"
