Motors $4,000 Miles
In One Season With
a Standard Eight

The residents Of Minnesota cer-
tainly believe in outdoor life and
must be a healthy, hardy people if
they may all be judged by an en-
thusiastic motorist who writes to
the Standard Steel Car company of
Pittsburgh as follows:
Last year I drove 1916 Stan
dard Eight through $4,000 miles of
the worst usage any car ever had. I
drove over rough roads, through
mud and water, through sand and
out into plowed fields. Very often
l drove at perhaps an excessive rate
of speed; l climbed hills on high
that others struggled up" With the
quick getaway of the Standard, as
we'll as its sustained speed power,
I passed every car l attempted to
pass, and did all Of this without any
engine trouble and in spite of the
fact that 1 was a green driver and
knew less than nothing about an
automobile. There may be another
car that could have gone through
what that old Standard did, but l
do not know what it is nor where
it is.
"And the motor still 'purrs' as
perfectly as it ever did"
This is a severe test of the
stamina strength and power of the
Standard Eight.

Rene Thomas Reels

Indianapolis, May "a. - Rene
Thomas forgot himself at the In

guarded moment during the early
morning hours ripped off a lap on
the two and one-half-mile saucer in
1:32, an average of better than 81
miles an hour, this though he shut
off twice on the back stretch and
slowed down for all of the turns.
The celebrated Frenchman
thought himself alone on the track.

icians and railbirds not having yet

could not resist stepping out bit,
the first real test to which his new
Ballot flier has been subjected.
An early bird with a stopwatch,
waiting for just such a contingency,
was on hand, however, and Thomas
was caught red-handed. 1t had
been Thomas intention to keep the
real speed of the Ballot cars a dark
secret until the day of the race. but
yesterdays performance was enough
to indicate that they will probably
prove the fastest machines that Eu-
rope has ever sent into competition.
Informed that his measure had
been taken, Thomas replied that he
had not reached anywhere near the
limit of his speed, and that before
the race he would turn the track in
much faster time, perhaps in 1:28.

Pennsylvania Rubber Co.
Moves Into New Quarters

The Pennsylvania Rubber COM
pany has leased the location at 220o
Farnam street, which is directly
across the street from its old To-
cation, and will move into their new
quarters about June l.
According to 0. A. Olson, man
ager of the Omaha branch of the
Pennsylvania Rubber company. this
will give them approximately $4,000
square feet of floor space, as COM
pared with 5000 square feet at their
present location. The location at
2209 Farnam street in itself does not
embrace 10000 square feet and will
be used principally as a salesroom
and Office quarters. A new build
ing is being constructed directly
across the alley which will have
large basement. This basement will
be on level with the Farnam street
location and has been leased by the
Pennsylvania Rubber company. This,
together with the location at ZOO
Farnam. makes the total of $4,000
square feet of floor space.

Cord Tire Almost Thirty
Years Old and Still Good

Many motorists believe that the
cord tire is q comparatively recent
innovation, because this type Of cas-
ing has been advertised extensively
only within the last two or three
years,
R. B. Bramwell, advertising man
ager Of the Michelin Tire company,
points out, however, that cord tires
have been built for close to 80 years.
In fact, says Mr.. Bramwell. almost
the first detachable pneumatic tire
in the world was similar in principle
to the cord tires of today.
This was the original Michelin BIZ
cycle tire introduced in 1891, four
years before Michelin announced the
worlds first pneumatic automobile
tire.
Not only did the early Michelin
pneumatic bicycle tire embody the
present-dsy principle of cord con-
struction, but by a strange coinci-
dence its tread was of practically the
same "grooved" type as is now be-
ing featured by number Of manu-
facturers.

United States Roads
Have Not Kept Pace
With Auto Traffic

America has been penny wise
and pound foolish" in the develop
ment of her highway system. While
she has amazed the world at her
seething progress in the automobile
industry she has not kept pace in
the matter of good roads building,
says the B. F. Goodrich Rubber
company.
This policy of placing thousands
of new cars on the road each year
and not correspondingly providing
ways and means to travel is in sharp
discord with the fundamentals of
motor vehicle transportation. The
automobiles popularity is traced di-
rectly to its specific its being a
quick means of communication. In
many sections of the country motor
transportation could double its ef-
ficiency were it not for narrow
highways and too few approaches.

New VuIcanizing Process
Being introduced Here

A new process of tire vulcanizing
known as Clouse vulcanizing is being
introduced here by Ray Latta, who
is in charge of Clouse Vu1canizing
Station No. 1874 recently opened at
6l9 South Sixteenth street.
Mr.. Latta has received his training
in this process at the home plant in
Cleveland, Ohio.
This system seems to strengthen
the tire at the point vulcanized and
leaves perfectly smooth surface
on the outer tread and sidewall.
Through this system, according to
Mr.. 'Latta nonsectional repairs of
cord tires can be made. Repairing
cord tires is an art in which very
few tire repairmen are efficient.
The work done at the various
Clouse vulcanizing stations is guar
anteed for the life of the tire.

Packard Motor Co. Gets
Land for FIyinq Field

Packard Motor Car company has
acquired a tract of land on the out
skirts of Detroit for use as a pri-
vate experimental flying field in the
development of its aviation program.
The field lies between Detroit and
Mount Clemens, almost midway be-
tween Morrow field in northwest
Detroit and Selfridge field near
Mount Clemens; it is large enough
to permit of the landing of any kind
of airplane; it is accessible by i'm
proved highway and interurban rail-
way; and it is easily susceptible of
improvements which will be begun
at once to make it a model expert

dent of engineering of the Packard
company, and one of the principal
designers of the Liberty motor, is
enthusiastic over the acquisition,
which insures him and his staff ia
cilities for proving out both engines

STUDEbAKER ON
STOCK MARKET
SHOWS BIG Gain
Stocks Worth S33 a Year
Ago Now Being Quoted at
$78 a Share; New
Buildings Underway.

THE metamorphosis of the auto
mobile industry since November
finds no clearer reflection than in
the advance Of Studebaker in the
stock market from q low price last
year of 1878 to above $78 a share
this week." says the Boston News
Bureau, leading financial paper, in
a recent editorial. Apprehension
over the safety of the 81 common
dividend has long since been Grad
icated and consideration is now be-
ing given to the vital factor in the
Studebaker outlook, viz: the pros
pective doubling Of productive Ca
pacity next year.
CONTRACTS have been let to James
Stewart & Co. of New York for the
erection of the new plants at South
Bend, and for the accompanying
machinery and equipment, the whole
outlay running up to approximate
ly $1,000, 900. It is expected that
the new units will be in production
early next year, and by this time
in 1920 should be turning out 200
cars daily as compared with pres
ent daily average of about $50 cars
from Detroit alone, where manu-
featuring has been concentrated.
"Studebaker is hewing close to
the line Of planned production for
the second quarter, building cars at
the rate OF 1000 per month. Last
years war-depleted average was
only about 1900 cars = month.
"Demand incidentally is at the
moment at least three times produc-
ton 80 that the factory has had to
turn down heavy orders from deal
efs. Orders on hand will absorb
the entire production to July l.
Studebaker stands = good chance
this year Of getting out its biggest
volume of cars since 19l6-or say
$4,000 machines"
