woman, 70, DRIVES
CAR 25,0OO MILES

DETROIT, oct 4-On her return
trip Mrs. William Upton. the seventy
year-Old woman, who, alone, drove a
Ford runabout from San Francisco
to New York city. visited the Ford
Motor Company's main office. She
was introduced to the officials OF the
company, was photographed, held in
her hand q Ford check worth two
figures Of millions, recounted the ex-
periences she had encountered on her
trip, and before leaving made ar
rangements for securing a new Ford
car Immediately upon her return to
her home IN Bakersfield. Cal.
Mrs. Upton has already driven her
present Ford more than $1,000 miles.
1000 OF which we're driven since she
left San Francisco Nay II, the longest
days drive being 100 miles. At
Springfield, Ill, Mrs. Upton's birth
place, she plans 70 dispose Of the car,
and, after visiting her many friends
there, viii return home BY railroad.
When commenting on her trip, she
said that IN making the drive from
the Atlantic to the Pacific it had not
been her purpose TO follow a direct
line Of travel, but 20 visit the most
cities and places Of interest She
visited the Petrifed Forest spent sew
eral days in the National Capital
drove to Mt Vernon. visited the site
OF the battle Of Gettysburg. and then,
after touring to some OF the Atlantic
coast cities, made her way TO New
York.
She experienced practically no trouble
with her car, although she pointed
out the fact that she understands the
Ford motor and made her own adjust
ments. Before leaving the Ford com
pany, Mrs. Upton expressed the hope
that her next Ford, probably another
runabOut. will be equipped with a
Ford starter.

TIRES, like PEOPLE,
REQUIRE GOODGARE

1t is generally conceded by motor
lists that cord tires are Quilt to with
stand a great deal Of wear and tear
and even to take a large measure Of
undeserved punishmsnt-and despite
severe use, to deliver satisfactory ser
vice and mileage. But just Is a big
robust man takes his good health as
a matter OF course and grows over
confident and careless. cord tire users
often abuse and neglect their tires
because they have been getting such
good results with so little attention
to them.
But everything has its limit Of en-
durance-and cord tires along with
other things. And while a motorist
may misuse his tires and yet obtain q
fairly Satisfactory service from them,
he obviously Is not getting their full
quota Of inbuilt mileage. And in these
days when, in the interest OF economy
and conservation every tire should be
made to run out its last possible mile,
the mOtorist who Is wasting q portion
Of the life Of his tires, Is not doing his
full duty.
Neglect Causes Undue WeaF.
According to G. z. Drummer, man
ager Of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company's Service Department, fully
40 per cent Of the new cord tires that
have been sold by that company's ser
vice. station in the last few
months, to replace wOrn-out cords.
have replaced tires that went out Of
commission prematurely because Of
improper care and neglect. And all
most invariably the untimely demise
Of the tire could be traced to the lack
Of proper air pressure.
Because Of the larger air capacity
in our cord tires and their greater
and more durable cOnstruc-
tion, we have advocated imitation pres
sures for cord tires 10 per cent lower
than that for fabric tires" says Mr.
Drummer. "But motorists, encouraged
by the good service received, have
been revising our imitation schedules
downward and becoming careles
about proper imitation. A recent in
vestigation which we made, showed
that many cord tire users were carry
ing only about half the recommended
air pressure. And yet the great ma
jority Of these motorists were obtain
ing what to them was very satisfac-
tory service.
Cord Tires Gaining Popularity.
"But in these days when every
cubic foot Of shipping space on our
ocean liners IS almost priceless, every
pound Of rubber should be made TO
do its full duty and every tire should
be made TO deliver its fun measure
Of miles. Whenever a motorist runs
his tires at a less pressure than our
recommendation, he pays For his

Of fuke hits and a tumble by
Howard Shanks gave the Nationals
an unexpected defeat today from
the Browns. to 4. When the Ma
tionals closed their seventh round the
game practically was pocketed in the
victory column by Griffith. He had
his ace on the hill. the mighty Walter
Johnson. and it was a typical John
son game for two-thirds of the route.
He buzzed his fast ball and his sharp
curve with such speed that the
Browns were groggy. Just struggling
around for breath.
But a game isn't over until the
legal limit-no never: Walter and the
Nationals know IL. The Browns did
the sixth inning. They had two hits
infield bunt by Tobin.
Bert GalIia was raped for one run
in the first and three In the nth so II
was going to be an easy triumph for
Grifiith and his family. That's the
way II looked when they finished
their swing in the seventh.
What happened in the seventh and
the eighth-why just enough to serd
the game the other way. F'luke hits
and tumble proved the combina-
tion. Tobin started the seventh with
n safe bunt and went to third when
SiSler put a single through Judge
the ball skipped through Joe's feet
Jacobson walked and the sacks were
packed. Sloan popped to Janvrin IN

breathed easier Gerber hit down to
Foster for what was going to be an
