AUTO FENCES" TO GET
JAIL Term, $500 FINE
New Massachusetts, Law Provides
for Supervision of Business to
Trace Stolen Cars.

Under a new Massachusetts, law, re-
Gently signed by Gov. Coolidge, deal
ers who act as fences" in disposing
of stolen automobiles, contrary to its
provisions, are liable to a fine of $500
and a year in Jail
Not only have scores of cars been
stolen in Boston and vicinity in the
past months, but at least one life has
been lost in the attempt to run down
the thieves-that of a member of the
police force.
Must Report Every Day.
This bill is framed to include all
assembling such cars. By it's terms
they are compelled to turn over to the
police commissioner and the Massa
chusetts highway commission every
twenty-four hours a complete list OF
the secondhand machines or parts
purchased, sold or stored. In other
cities of the state the chief of police
and the selectmen are the designated
officers.
The police are given authority to
inquire into the conduct of a dealer
business, examine all automobiles or
parts and all books or papers. Deal
ers refusing to allow such examina-
tion are subject to a fine of not more
than 5000 or years Imprisonment. or
both.
Changes to Be Noted.
Cars whose engine or chassis num-
bers are obliterated or changed
must be carefully noted in the deal
ers' reports. Milling out numbers on
stolen cars has prevented the detec-
tion of many thefts and made the
work of the police of the greatest
difficulty in tracing the machines.

RULES FOR STEEP GRADES.
Auto Operators Advised to Start
on "Low Speed"

When starting down a very steep
grade it is advisable to place the
gears in low speed. The rear wheels
will then turn the engine, a move
ment requiring considerable effort.
This produces very good braking ef
feet. A light car on a moderately
steep hill will stop, and a heavy car
will move slowly, but always under
control. This is called ''using the en-
gine as brake"
1t should be practiced from time to
time, so that the driver may become
familiar with the method. If all the
other brakes fail. this is the best and
only thing to do. Practice the trick
frequently. SO that it becomes as easy
as any other operation. and you will
have cause to be thankful If ever the
need arises to use it.

Prominent executives and technical
representatives of the automotive and
fuel industries met at the University
Club, New York, on August 81, to dis
cuss problems relating to the nature
and future supply of fuel suitable
for automotive purposes, and ways
and means for utilizing this supply
most efficiently and satisfactorily in
the automobiles and other automo-
tive vehicles now in the hands of
users, as we'll as in those of vehicles
to be constructed in very large guam
titles in the future.
The meeting was preceded by a din
ner rendered by representatives of
the automotive industry to those rep
resenting the petroleum industry.
John N. WHY'S of the WHY'S Over
land Company, the chairman of the
automotive section of the conference
committee, presided. The other rep
resentatives on the automotive side
were as follows:
K. w. Zimmerschied, assistant to
the president, General Motors Com
pany; Coker F. Clarkson, general
manager, Society of Automotive En-
ager. National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce: NJ. l.. Heminway. gen.
eral manager, Motor and Accessory
Manufacturers Association; Walter c.
Baker and John G. Utz of the Stand
ard Parts Company, F. G. Mock
and Herbert Chase, assistant secre-
tary, Society of Automotive En-
gineers.
Represented by n. L. Doherty.
The petroleum industry was repre-
sented by Henry l.. Doherty of Henry
l.. Doherty & Co. chairman of the
fuel section of the conference COM
mittee: DR.. William NJ. Burton,
Standard Oil Company of Indiana; w.
H Isom, Sinclair Oil and Refining
Company; r. B. Leonard, Atlantic Re-
fining Company; Frank Howard and
b. M. Clark of the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey: r. L. Welch,
general secretary, and c. G. Smith.
assistant general secretary OF the
American Petroleum institute.
In the absence of Charles F. Ket-
.ering, past president Of the Society
II Automotive Engineers, and its ofh-
c;al representative on the automotlve
conference committee, Mr. Clarkson
read statement in which Mr.. ket-
tering said, in part:
THE fuel problem as it exists to-
lay divides itself into two general
classes. one of which belongs to the
automotive manufacturers and the
other to the fuel manufacturers.
However, complete solution in
either case is impossible without the
hearty cooperation of both indus
tries" Mr.. Kettering then outlined in
a general way some of the research
work bearing upon the fuel problem
which has been conducted in his own
laboratories. In general the state
ment was to the effect that much
basic research is still necessary to
determine just what phenomena occur
during the combustion Of fuel in the
engine cylinder, but that the research
to date appears to indicate that a
further study of the problems will
enable a satisfactory engine fuel to
be produced even though 1t becomes

/ KkO On On Cost e Of Tires Tires lKEO

IT HERE'S an annual loss to auto
/ mobilists of hundreds of thousands
of dollars year. due to the fact
that old tires have been considered
practically valueless. Once the treads
have been worn away, the remainder,
though in nearly as good condition as
when new, can only be sold for old
rubber. There have been no practical
retreading methods to salvage this loss.
Our New Process of Recreation
We cut away the old tread, leaving the
fabric, the side walls and the bead. In
the majority of cases, since these parts
of the tire never touch the road, they
have had practically no wear and are in
perfectly good condition. We carefully
clean and buff the old shoe and put on
cushion stock of the purest grade rub
Der obtainable. We add new breaker
strip of stout fabric and cover with a
pure, tough, rubber tread stock. This
is put In . specially designed mold and
subjected to q pressure Of $500 lbs. to
the square inch-a greater pressure
than used In building new tires. The
side walls remain unaff -cted

This pressure process fastens the new
tread as one Integral part of the whole
and makes Il a. tough and strong and

stand the hardest kind of wear. We
guarantee our new tread for 1000 miles,
We have never known one to wear out

workmen skilled in this work. No ex-
pense is spared to insure every tire

Elected Valuable Discussion.


The foregoing statement ELECTED
considerable valuable discussion. Rep
resentatives of the automotive in
dustry pointed out the needs. from it's
standpoint. of securing the best pos
sible forecast concerning the nature
of fuels to be used in the cars now
being produced, or prepared for pro-
duction, in order that steps can be
taken to satisfactorily utilize the fuel
that will be available.
The subject of fuel specifications
was discussed at some length and it
specification would be detrimental to
both producer and consumer, but that
a flexible specification which would
be changed from time to time as the
exigencies of the fuel supply and de;
mand may indicate, would be useful
to all concerned and great assist
ance to the automotive manufacturer
in enabling him to design his prod
uct in such way as to utilize the
fuel most satisfactorily.
1t was generally agreed that the
numerous problems involved in sat
isfactory settlement OF the situation
rendered thorough going and extern
sentatives expressed desire for the
heartiest cooperation and agreed to
utilize present laboratory apparatus
and other research facilities to che
pear that these facilities are not ade-
quate for the solution of the problem
in hand, ways and means for securing
additional facilities of more cen
tralized nature and better suited for at
lacking the problem are to be given
careful consideration.
Outline Various Difficulties.
1t was agreed that the representa-
tives of the automotive industry
would outline in considerable detail
the various difficulties which the au-
tomotive engineer and car user faces
in the use of present-day gasoline,
and also endeavor to state clearly the
fuel problem as it appears to the au-
tomotive industry, this for the purpose
of aiding the fuel industry to prepare
to meet the problem, SO far as this
can be done by the refiners. In addi-
ton, the representatives of the auto
motive industry indicated a desire to
adapt the apparatus produced by them
to the fuel which the petroleum in
dustry, faced on the one hand by the
increasing demand and on the other
by diminishing supply Of crude, can
produce.
There was every evidence of the
greatest Willingness on the part of
both the fuel and the automotive in
dustries to bring about the heartiest
cooperation which in the end is GER
tain to result in great benefit to the
users of automotive apparatus who
are also the ultimate consumers of
the fuel produced by the refiners.
With this end in view the technical
men of both industries are to be
brought into contact and are def
nitely assured of the hearty support
of the executive through whom their
recommendations will be put into
effect.

OPERATION OF SPRUCE
 DIVISION EXPLAINED IN GENERALS REPORT
Lumber Produced Cheaply and in Great Quantity to
 Allied Powers

PORTLAND, Ore, April "A state ment covering operations and costs of the spruce production division was made public today by General Brice P Disque, just prior to his relinquish. ment fthe division ana resigning as president of the Spruce Production corporation. General Disque tells in detail fthe development and organ ization of the division which was to increase the monthly production of material from S,OOO,OOO to 10000, 900 feet at once. The principal reasons for forming the corporation, as given by General DisqQe, were:
 First-About 65 per cent of the pro- duction of aircraft lumber was allo- cated t oGreat Mritain, France and Italy and it scene donly equitable that they should bear that patr of the ex- pense necessary to build the mills and railroads required.
 Second-We were actually carrying on a great industrial enterprise ana required the freedom of action usually found in a business concern and al most impossible under war department regulations.
 We provided in this way for our allies to assist i nthe capital expendi- lures before they were made rather than doing it after development, through paying for lumber, the sales price of which included amortization of capital expenditures on a basis of complete amortization in ten months after completion.
 Because of the importance of the lumber industry in the Pacific North west there has been a great volume cf,discussion regarding the operations and costs of this organization Most of it has come from people totally ignorant of our problems, methods, or other facts.
 It is appropriate, therefore, to refer to the quantity of production and cost of same in this summary The ac- countants of this organization have had instructions from the beginning to include in their cost accounting, every legitimate item and that meant rent, stationery, telephone, officers and soldiers pay and subsistence, as well as transportation and purchase of all stumpage, materials, equipment and rights of way and hire of labor.
 The entire expenditures of the Sig nal Corps, U. s. Army Spruce Pro- duction Division and the U S. Spruce Production corporation; from the be- ginning of operations to, and includ- ing, April, will not exceed s45,5eO,- 900. The total footage of aircraft lum- Der produced, shipped and paid for by the Signal Corps. Spruce Production division and U. s. Spruce Production corporation was 143,0O0,OOO feet
 Therefore, if we assume that the corporation has no assets whatever, the 143,OOO,OOO feet of aircraft lumber cost $31S per M and such a price con- templates a complete amortization of every capital expenditure and expense item involved in our operations
 However the corporation has on hand today tangible and salable as sets. which estimated ae approximate ly 40 per cent of their cost, are worth SS,0O0,OOO. Deducting this $S,O0O,0 ,000 from the total expenditure of 45.5OO,- 900 we have an expenditure of S37,-
Bisbee daily review., 1919-04-04

5OO.OOO for the 14S,OOO.OOO feet, at a resulting cost per thousand of $262
 To date the corporation has sold approximately $2,OO0,OOO of these as- sets and has averaged near so per cent of their cost price. Therefore, it would appear that my estimate of SS,OO0,OOO worth of assets which is ap- proximately 40 per cent of the cost price, would be very conservative.
 In all of our operations it has been provided that the Allied governments shall participate in the dead loss which will finally result due to depre. ciation in value of assets, in propor- tiong to the amount of aircraft lumber supplied to them. Based on my esti- mate of and salvage of 40 per cent of the cost value of our assets there will be dead loss of $12,000, ,OO0, due to the operations of the Signal Corps, Spruce Production Division and the United States Spruce Production cor poration, and this loss will be dis tributed:
 Thirty-four per cent of s4.1eO.OOO to the United States.
 Thirty-one per cent, or $3,SOO, 900. to Great Britain.
 Twenty-four per cent. or s2,sOO, 900, to France.
 Ten per cent, or S1,2OO,O0O, to Italy.
 Of course, this loss must be consid-
