100000 RAISED IN BOSTON

Boston. June 11.-Plcdges totaling
about 100000 were made for the cause
of free Ireland at a mass meeting in
Mechanics Hall last night under the
direction of the Irish Freedom Fund
Association. Addresses were made by
Cardinal O'Conncll: Michael ]. RYAN.
Of Philadelphia, one of the three Irish
Americans who sought an audience of
the Peace Conference to present the
cause of the Irish nation; Justice
Daniel +. COhalan. of the New York
Supreme Court. and Mayor Peters
Colonel Edward J.. Logan, Of the 1O1st
Infantry. presided.
Resolutions were adopted thanking
the United States Senate for asking for
q hearing before the Peace Conference
of the delegates of the Irish republic
demanding the Independence of Ireland
and urging recognition of the Irish re-
public by this country and opposing
the league of nations.

has a grievance which must one day
be set to rights. Until Ireland has
been finally liberated the war cry Of
America will resound throughout the
earth
Mr.. Ryan said the real objection Of
the English to granting Ireland the
right of self determination was that
England fears Ireland as an independ-
ent power between her and the western
world. As the English Naval League
expresses it. ireland is the Hclgoland
of the Atlantic.
"The people of Ireland are not talk :

Justice Cohalan, but they are insist

have made an appeal to the liberty

GREAT MOTOR TRUCK DEMONSTRAT ION IS
 HELD AT MACON, GA.

One of the greatest boosts that has come to the motor truck in this coun try was the big motor truck demon stration at Macon Georgia April and directed by the Macon chamber of commerce.
 The first days demonstration was in the form of a street parade limited to trucks entered by local truck dealers. One hundred and twenty-three trucks representing IS different makes, pa raded through the principal streets of the city to the accompaniment of the back firing of the two big pneumatic tired Goodyear trucks, which had been diverted from their regular runs on that companys s Akron Boston express line to make the trip to Macon for the local demonstration.
 The drivers of these two trucks, which loomed up like houses on wheels in this parade, have through long eX- perience become expert in back firing their motors. The bombardment which was kept up throughout the pageant, lent a decided military aspect to the entire affair
 The big motor truck demonstration held on the second day was, without doubt, the most spectacular one of it's kind ever held in America and in it's practical results exceeded the most sanguine expectations of it's promoters.
 Four routes of about 40 miles each were selected, leading in different di- rections from the city to neighboring towns. The 3S participating trucks were formed in four trains with cap tain in charge of each train. These trains left Macon at 10 o'clock q. m. laden with more than one hundred tons of freight for the merchants in the towns on these routes.
 No attempt at speed was made on the outbound trip. the leading truck in each caravan setting a pace of about 15 miles an hour, to insure keeping the train intact, but on the return trip nc speed limit was suggested so that a keen rivalry developed for the honor of reporting first to the chamber of commerce after making deliveries tc consignees.
 The first truck to check in after delivering it's load was one of the Good year trucks, which reported S9 minutes in advance of any other rubber tired freighter.
 The affair was both educational and practical, designed to emphasize the wonderful possibilities of motor truck [ transportation in the southeast section of the country, of which Macon is . | geographical center The demonstra ton showed that in many instance | merchants could receive freight by mo ! tor truck in a few hours that oldinariN

would not reach them by railroad for several days. That was an appealing feature of the demonstration.
 The importance of the Macon truck demonstration as a national event is indicated in the 1925 mile trip of the two Goodyear trucks to become par ticipants. The run from Akron, Ohio, to Nashville, Tenn, covering TIP miles was made in 50 hours, total elapsed time. From here they covered the journey leisurely, demonstrating in the cities enroute, and although compelled to make a detour adding 300 miles to the trip, between Nashville and Chat tanooga, reached Macon on the eighth

ca Automobile association record for
 24-hour nonstop run was 5S7 miles.
 The run was held by Dick Carhart of the Carhart Motor company, of Ok lahoma City, Overland and Willys- Knight dealers. The car was run on dirt roads more than half the time and 1 the rest of the run was on rought country boulder stretches and the poor | pavements of the suburbs of that Ok
 lahoma city. The carburetor was nev-
 CT adjusted; nor a spark plug replaced. i There were but three punctures.
 During the seven days of continuous
 driving, the Overland 90 encountered
 two days of hard driving rain and from 12 to 15 hours of each 24 were spent in the traffic of the city.
 Four drivers were used. working in
 four shifts.
 The run was planned by MT Carhart 1 in an effort to break existing records 1 for sealed-in- -high-gear, nonstop test. The judges for the event were carefully selected. They were the president of the chamber of commerce, the managing editor of the Daily Ok
 lahoman and the managinee editor of
 the Oklahoma Daily News. These men checked the reports of the observers
 and closely followed the car them selves. The run excited the greatest attention throughout the state as . demonstration of the economy and ef- ficiency Of operation possible in the | Overland thrift model of the modern motor car.
 The trip started when the automo- bile, officially sealed and inspected, rolled forward from the desk of the Lee Huckins hotel, through the door and down the steps into the street. The car finished it's remarkable economy run by pulling up in front of the hotel desk. There the motor was stopped for
 the first time in seven days.
 A careful checking of all records leads the Willys Overland company to the announcement that this is the most remarkable test ever made by any
 stock car of any class or type.

MILLER RUBBER CO. GIVES GOOD ADVICE
 ID USERS IF TIRES

The Miller Rubber company, of Ak ron, Ohio, gives out the following rules that, if strictly observed, should go a long way toward solving tire mileage troubles. The waste resulting from misuse of passenger car tires alone runs into millions of dollars annlally, according to experienced tire men.
 Here are the Miller. suggestions for increasing tire mileage:
 Don't overload your tires-a tire will give out" sooner from overload than from almost any other cause.
 Don't r-inflate-under-i imitation and overlooking account for fully 90 per cent of all tire trouble.
 Don't neglect small cuts-these will often extend farther than you think. Dirt and water get in, the fabric rots and blowout follows. Look over your tires from time to time and repair small cuts.
 Don't run in ruts, car tracks or against curbing-the side walls of q tire are much thinner than the tread and will not stand this kind of usage.
 Don't start or stop suddenly or skid around corners-the strain thus set up in your tires is terrific.
 
 on the rim if only for a short distance
 Don't let oil. grease or gasoline remain on your tires-they all destroy rubber. Wash only with pure cold water and little soap
 Don't keep a spare tire out of use too long-change over occasionally. A tire lasts better in use than exposed 10 the sun and rain on the running board or suspended at the rear. Don't let your rims get rusty-com- mon stove polish will keep them in good condition.
 Don't let the weight rest on de- Hated tire-jaek up the wheel or re- move the tire.
 Don't let yoG aXles or rims be- ! come bent-if your wheel doesn't turn : free and true, your tires will suffer. If your wheels are not in line-remedy the trouble-you are dragging your tires. They will show rapid and one sided wear not generally understood by motorists, and usually blamed on the tire"

 B|C OPPORTUNITIES

Making money by establishing motor lines for the transportation of passen- gers and freight presents today one of the best fields of opportunity for the man with a little capital at his dis posal. in the opinion of the local rep resentative of the United States Tire company.
 The development of lines of this sort between towns and cities has only just begun, and is certain to grow tremen- dously in the next few years. The opportunities are especially good in Arizona, where railroad service is somewhat limited But even in parts of the country where the railroad schedules are the best. auto lines are doing good business hauling freight. The perfecting of the large pneu- matlc tires of the United States Tire company has been one of the impor- tant steps in making this development possible. Big vehicles are necessary to carry heavy loads of passengers or 1 freight, and the big pneumatics make 1t possible for trucks and large buses to travel between towns at a speed and with comfort unobtainable on solid tires.
 Passengers can be carried over long distances with as little jar as in a limousine, while fragile commodities. such as eggs, can be hurried to market with little danger of damage. Inciden- tally, the cars can be operated at much less expense on pneumatics than on solids, it is claimed.
 Tt was in 1910 that the United States Tire company developed the large pneumatic truck tire, and it is worthy of note as illustrating the extra life that comes to a truck from riding on pneumatics, that several of the ! first trucks equipped with the big tires are still doing heavy service every day, All other trucks of that day have long since gone to the scrap heap.
 One of the facts about which farm CTS comment is the lack of damage to roads hy heavy vehicles travelling on the big pneumatics. The tax paving farmers view with dissatisfaction any

PRESERVE OLD PRINTING PRESS
(From the Detroit News)

A printing press with a remarkable history is preserved by the University of Oregon. On it was printed seventy three years ago, the first number of the Oregon Spectator at oregon City. This was the first press to be used west of the Rocky Mountains, and it was trans- ported to Oregon City by George Aber- nathy, the first provisional governor of Oregon. The old Washington hand press was in use in Oregon City until the late eos, when it was removed to Eugene. While being transported up to the Willamette River, the press was shipwrecked, but after Q time it was raised and continued it's journey.
 For nearly half a century it was in use at Eugene, when it was presented to the state university. The Univer- sity of Washington at Seattle also has a famous old hand press, which was used in 1S47 to print the California Star, the first paper in San Francisco, and later was used in printing the first number of the Portland, Oregonian in 1850, and the first paper in Seattle in 1863.

driven over the roads around Oklaho- ma City for seven days. In the 16S hours of continuous running. the car covered 4,3701 miles. That exceeds the next best record which had stood since 1916 by nearly 200 miles.
 The remarkable feature of the run was that in making this distance equal 10 a trip from New York to Los Ange- les and back to Oklahoma without change of gear or engine stop, the Overland drivers averaged 624.3 miles a day. The gasoline used averaged 20.66 miles for each gallon. It was gas oline of 59 test. The previous Ameri-
