JARRARD SEES GOOD
.ERAFOR AUTO TRADE

After returning from a six weeks
trip to the Pacific coast T. z. Jar
rard, vice president Of the Apperson
Bros, Automobile Company, OF Ko-
komo, Ind, when asked for his opin-
ion Of business conditions which
might prevail during the period Of
reconstruction, said:
"Reconstruction is a big word. It
means much. It covers the rehabili-
tation OF the war-stricken territory
In Europe; the rehabilitation Of
American soldiers and their return
to civil pursuits; tlfe transition OF
this country's industry from war
work to peace work; the upbuilding
Of both domestic and foreign COM
merce, which has been seriously in
terrupted by the war; and many 9TH
er problems vitality affecting the
economic welfare OF the masses in
the good old U. S. A.
AIN all of this work. no matter
where or what 1t may be, the motor
car and the wonderful Industrial or
ganization> to which it owes its rapid
development will play an important
part. When the United States enter
ed the world war the automobile in
dustry was the third largest in the
commerce Of the country. With the
coming of war this huge organization
OF capital, labor and brains, was
placed at the disposal OF the Govern
ment.
"How well it served the common
cause is well known to all. BY con-
verting it's immense plants from the
production of passenger motor cars
over to war work and by furnishing
thousands upon thousands OF skilled
mechanics for the important work Of
the motor transport-not to mention
the immense wealth Of the business
which was placed cheerfully at the
disposal of the Government-this
third largest industry served In the
war for world democracy as only a
live, successful business could serve.
"And now that the armistice is
signed and peace is at hand you will
find the automobile industry up in
the front OF any and all movements
which tend for the stabillzing Of con-
ditionS growing out Of the Interrupt
tions to commerce and industry
caused by the European conflict.
During the period OF reconstruction
which is vitality as important to pro-
ducer and consumer alike as was the
war time the motor car manufac-
tuPers will be found leading the
work which will bring to this coun-
try greater prosperity than IL ever
heretofore has known, and this pros
perity which will come through and
out OF the reconstructiye era will

The Santa Monica road race, the
blue ribbon event of of the motoring
classics of the far West, is to be re-
VlVed March 10, according to word
from California. The race is to be
conducted by the Motorcar Dealers
Association, of Los Angeles, and is to
be under personal supervision of a
committee headed by a. Nj. Young,
who, was the manager of the most
successful events ever held on the
famous road course.
Sanction for the race las already
been given by the contest board of the
American Automobile Associations 1t
will probably be followed two weeks
later by a 100-mile race on the Ascot
Speedway in Los Angeles.
John c. Frederickson, of Worcester
Mass, was arrested several weeks
ago. Apparently it was the first time.
The unique part of his arrest is not
in the fact, which Is common to one
or two other motorists, but because
he had no license to drive his car and
had never owned one. For nine years
he was a motorist without the States
sanction. 1t is the first case OF this
sort in the annals of Massachusetts,
motoring.
The 1919 season holds every prom
ise for great activity. The Indianapo-
lis motor speedway has announced
its resumption OF racing with a 800
mile event for $4,000 on May 81
The Ascot Speedway at Los Angeles
is preparing for two events early in
the year, and indications are that, as
in the past, the Indianapolis an
nouncement will act as stimulus to
builders Of fast racing cars through
out the country.

Sure there's tricks in every trade"
says a writer in American Motorist.
"I watched the driver of a wreckipg
carsdxing the tow line with which he
was to drag back a damaged car to
the repair shop. It was interesting
TO observe how carefully he adjusted
the line, so 1 asked him why he did
so. Whereupon he informed me that,
as in most other things in life, there
was a right way and a wrong way to
tow a motor car. The hitch OF both
the towing and the towed cars must
be exactly the same height. If the
towed cars hitch be higher than the
one on the car in front, it will de-
velop a tendency to pull down on the
tOwed car, while if the reverse is true
the down pull will be exerted against
! the towing car. You can learn some
+ thing from every one If yoJ only keep
your eyes open and are not afraid to
ask a question or two, even if doing
so may betray your igOrance. Not
even you and I know all there is to
( know about an automobile, though
( occasionally both or US may be in
( clined to believe we do"

not wise things either. Where under
the sun do they get such stuff? Why.
when Noah came out of the ark this
mothball-in-E gasoline stunt was an
old timer, and yet il is going as strong
now as it ever did. Take it from me,
no mOthball cocktail ever did or ever
will add one inch of mileage to a gall
Ion of gasoline. If you think differ
ent, keep right on; you'll not be the
only daTned fool possessed with the

J. Is. L.: have a dispute with a tire
company which guarantees its tires.
The company claims have been
using the tire in dispute without suf-
icient initiation. How can this be told
in a tire?
Answers There arc several very re-
liable ways in which underinhation
can be detected. II on examination
a crack Is noticed in the inner lining
Of the tire, running all around the in
side. it is a sign that the tire has
been run without enough air.
II the tread or the tire shows a
wider wear than usual, that is an
other sign. As a rule, tire adjusters
give the benefit of the doubt to the
user and are not inclined to take any
technical advantage; at least, that
has been the writer's experience.

Is either a sprung spindle or failure
to put in new cone upon which the
balls turn. a worn or Clipped cone
will ruin a now bearing as fast as

I haven't any faith in a mothball 20
says . writer in American Notorist.
Long experience has taught me the
ball was made for a druggist to sell
and a fool to buy. SO far as ever
could see the moth thrives on the ball;
IL acts on his appetite like a high
ball, and makes him all the more raw
enous when he proceeds to dine off
your winter overcoat. Having this
Unborn distrust of the mothball. it
follows as a matter of sequence that

Not all owners know that light is
an agent directly hostile to rubber.
Rubber men say that light acts on
rubber as a catalytic agent, causing
rapid deterioration. The moral is that
spare tires should always be protected,
not only from water and oil, but from
light as we'll Dark covers or carriers
are preferable to light ones.
