NO DROP LIKELY
IN AUTO PRICES

NEW YORK, March s.-AutomobiIe
prices are not likely to change very
much for some time, in the opinion
OF some of the leaders Of the auto
mobile industry.
John N. WHY'S, president Of the
willys-Overland Company, today made
the prediction that the automobile
demand during the next two years
will be very large.
THE stocks of used cars are clean
ed up" said Mr.. WHY'S MANY peo-
pie have postponed buying cars that
they want and need until they can
be assured that the driving of cars
will not be restricted There is a
Pent-up demand that will take a
long time to fll. Besides, the uses
OF motor cars have multiplied, maxi
Ing the normal requirements even
greater than before.
with this heavy demand, plus the
high price OF materials and high
v ages, ! see no chance OF any con-
SIDERABLE change in prices. in the
near future.
Material prices and wages are not
likely to come down In a hurry with
the passing OF the FIRST furry OF un-
settlement OF prices which followed
the signing OF the armistice, there
Is now a noticeable steadying Of the
market"
In the opinion OF Mr., Willis. this
condition will continue with gradual
and slight downward tendencies
spread over q long period.

NEW LIBERTY SIX
MODELSDELIGHT

The Liberty Six comes in a variety
Of strikingly attractive open and
closed body types built on one chassis
and including the touring car, sedan,
roadster. coupe and fourpassenger
touring car, which, with the coupe,
lie new addition to the Liberty line
this year. The Liberty Motor Sales
Company. 1908 Fourteenth street
northwest, local agents, are showing
several models.
The coupe model recently an
nounced has speedily won favorable
notice, as Liberty designers have al
ready gained considerable reputation
because OF the refreshing newness
and difference of former models. In
common with other Liberty models
the coupe is strongly built, well pro-
portioned and marked by lines that
are truly distinctive. 1t seats four
passengers and offers the same ad-
yantages with it's smaller seating ca
pacity as does the sedan TO those
who have need of a car with some
v hat larger passenger capacity. The
drivers seat is a little forward OF the
passenger seats, the latter being full
when unoceupied, is carried under the
cowl, thus giving the interior an air
OF agreeable neatness and making
this practical car for business or
social uses. The interior decorations
indicate refinement that is alto
gether pleasing.
The new Liberty four-passenger
car, built also on the six-cylinder
Standard chaBsis, Is designed for the
eXacting buyer who wants less room
than provided in the larger touring
car and yet more than the roadster
provides. A beautiful streamline
body with double edge, to harmonic
with the square back tonneau, gives
ar unusually pleasing erect. Fur
tier distinction is given this car by
Its comfortable riding qualities and
its general smart effect.
The, larger touring car has already
gained a reputation for distinctive
ness In style and beauty. A scientific
balance gives comfort in riding. Care
and inspection Of good units. scien-
tific assembling by experienced car
builders and proper road testing are
responsible for the reputation OF all
Liberty six cars. The roadster is Of
graceful lines, with low, comfortable
seats, plenty Of foot room and a ca
pacious carrying room, space under
the rear deck, accessible through a
larger door in the top. The doors are
agreeably wide.
The Liberty sedan IL a family
closed car OF the four-door type, en-
trance 10 either compartment being
independent. a plate glass provider

driving or the protection OF the closed
car further enhanced by a perfection

other new model. has already gained
approval at the New York and Chi
caSo shows. 1t Is a marked depar-
tuFe from closed models OF other
makes being mounted, low on the
chassis and having pleasing angles
rather than conventional curves. The
Interior fittings and appointments OK
press a correct tone OF subdued ele- |
gance and quiet refinement. 1t Is adj |

RAPID PROGRESS IN
TRUCK TIRE MAKING

Tires have become so vital an els-
ment Of truck service that their every
development is worthy of careful
note. Truck users are now eamtpg
to realize that more depends upon the
tire equipment than has hefstofafe
been recognised There has been
rapid progress in psrfectihg truck
tires. AZ
ain the solid type OF tire says
r. s. Wilson, manager Of the Slid
tire department of the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio,
"the v tire has taken a leading po-
sition. we have been pleased and as-
tonished by the mileage records
which have been achieved in ali
CLASSES Of service
mot the least factor in our success
with this type of tire ID the manner
In which we have been able TO press
1t on the. steel rim so firntiy and Sc
-cufely that base separation has be-
come practically unknown.
Problem Solved.
During the early days Of solid I'll e
manufacture there was no known
method of successfully vulcanising
soft rubber to steel Exhaustive ex-
that both soft rubber and steel could
be SUCCESSFULLY vulcaniSed to hard
rubber So the soIutioTi OF the diffl-
Guilty resolved itself into the use Of
strip OF hard rubber between tire
soft rubber tread Of the tire and the
steel base Of the rim.
The Goodyear Tire and Rubber COM.
pany has carried this idea even furs
Their. Our tire engineers discovered
that q much stronger base union
could be obtained through the use of
two layers Of hard rubber instead OF
one, They produced q 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 q chemical union between
themselves.
This obviously ideal method Of
has worked out with
wonderful success, mileages Of TWEEN
ty and thirty thousands not being
uncommon, and even forty and nifty
thousands being reached in cases
where the tires have received ads-
auate care and attention.
Source Of satisfAetlOa.
"our record along this line. OF
course, is a source OF great satisfae-
ton to as, as It must also be to the
many Thousands Of motor truck users
who have secured economical opera
ton with them
I'm backing up this tire we have
made II a point to insure service, and
service means presses, besides other
things. We have installed presses at
all our branches and in other cities
at strategic points, so that truck
owners desiring the pressed-on type
Of tire may be taken care OF prompt

information from Simla, received on
May 20 and 20, shows that all attacks
on Fort Thai have been rcpulsed. The

Air reconnaissance disclosed abou,
$500 of the enemy near Thai. Their

AT the capture of the Afghan fort OF
Baldak, opposite Chaman, Baluchistan,
the British took 1863 prisoners and

fort was finally reduced by assault.
The garrison fought bravely, and for
the most part were killed or captured
1t was the strongest fort in Afghanls-
tan, having thick outer walls and
bonbproof shelters. It's fall has had a
good effect in Kandahar and along the
