determined on the basis OF width Of
tires. Routes between large cities or
important commercial and industrial
centers serve an enormous tonnage.
and the larger the units in which this
tonnage is hauled the greater the
economy or hauling.
ION these roads the weight is fully
taken care of by the SOO-pound limit
per inch width OF tire. For every 500
pounds an inch is added to the bear
ing surface of the tires. With the
addition Of taller the weight OF
doubling the STRAIN on the road. You
simply add to the wheel base. The
load, while greater, is distributed over
more wheels of proportiOnate tire
width.
at would have been as, sensible
fifty years ago to have prohibited the
use of locomotives larger than the
little four-wheel drivers, as it would
be today to limit the weight of the
motor truck on any other basis than
tire width, and the number OF wheels
under the weight, which, in the case
of our large locomotives, gives several
hundred per cent greater hauling ca
pacity with probably only 100 per cent
greater weight of rail.
"If we set an artificial limit on
motor trucks, we are handicapptng
what is fast becoming an important
means of transportation. and adding
TO the cost Of every article of food or
clothing we use. and placing a gener-
ally greater economic burden on the
country. We must build the road to
carry the load"

Along with the great national
movement for better highways comes
the question Of weight OF loads, speed,
and many other factors" says R E.
Fulton, vice president of the Inter
national Motor Company.
in the solution Of the matter, plain,
ordinary common sense should pre-
vail. Unimproved roads, in good
weather when they are dry and
sound, can stand a great deal OF
traffic with little or no damage.
They can even bear tremendous
loads IL the width Of the tire is sUffi-
Gent. When these roads are solid
big steam traction engines, with
threshing machines or corn shelters,
run over them with no damage; in
fact, with benefit. as they act like

Moderately improved roads like
wise can stand much traffic in good
weather. The big trouble with these
roads is that they are not what can
be called all year round roads.
They should be improved to meet
the normal requirements Of traffic.

from them at all times.

CLAIM DARK TIRES
ARE MOST DURABLE

That. its tires are now made in
dark colors is due not to a fad in
style. but to important improvements
in the compounds which make up the
tire tread. is the statement of the
United States Tire Company.
After a long period of expert
mentation. this company developed a
new formula for its tread compounds,
which is believed to be so much
tougher and much better-wearing,
that it was adopted as the standard
OF manufacture, even though it
called for a change from the light
color to which the public has been
accustomed.
Before the dark tire was placed on
the market it was thoroughly tested.
These tests are said to have demon
strated that the dark compound pro-
duced tires of greater mileage than
the lighter stock.
Aside from the matter of the quail
ity of the tire. the dark -colored tire
has a decided advantage in that it is
not so easily discolored as the light
tire. To keep a light-colored tire
presentable required frequent dress
ing, but the black tire needs no at
tention of this sort.

IF THIS is THE

ON CARING FOR
HORSES IN SUMMER
IT'S HIGH TIME TO

The following suggestions for the
care of horses in hot weather are of.
fered by the Freight Transportation
Department of the Packard Motor
Car Company:
Load lightly and drive slowly.
Stop in the shade if possible.
3-Water your horse as often as
possible. So long as horse is work
ing, water in small quantities will
not hurt him. But let him DRINK only
a few swallows if he is going to stand
still. Do not fail to water him at
night after he has eaten his hay
4-When he comes in after work
sponge off the harness marks and
sweat. Wash his feet but not his
legs
5-If the thermometer is IS degrees
or higher, wipe him all over with a
damp sponge. Use vinegar water il

spoon of saltpetre.
do not use a horse-hats unless
it is a canopy-top hat. The ordinary
bell-shaped hat does more harm than
good.
S-A sponge on top of the head. or
even a cloth is good if kept wet. If
dry it is worse than nothing.
eff the horse is overcome by
heat, get him into the shade, remove
all harness and bride. wash out his
mouth, sponge him all over. shower
his legs, and give him two ounces of
aromatic spirits of ammonia. or two
ounces of sweet spirits of nitro in a
pint OF water; or give him a pint OF
coffee, warm. Cool his head at once,
using cold water, or if necessary,
chopped ice, wrapped in a cloth
10.-If the horse is off his feed try
him with two quarts of oats mixed
with bran and a little water and ada
a little salt or sugar. Or give MIN
oatmeal Cruel or barley water to
drink.
11-Watch your horse. If he st FPS
sweating suddenly or if he breatncs
short and quick, or If his ears drOop,
or if he stands with his legs braced
sidewise. he is in danger Of a heat
or sun stroke and needs attention At

MY plans for the future provide
that at least thirty days IN advance Of
the time for holding the 5OO-mile race
in 1920 I will be at the Indianapolis
Speedway. I will know my new
ROamer perfectly by that time, and
will use the month to tune IL up to

.SARLES TO DRIVE
ROAMER RACERS

! KALAMAZOO. Mich, June 21-Ros-
coe Sarles, the brilliant California
race driver. has concluded a deal with
, a. c. Barley, president of the Barley
Motor Car Company, whereby he will
drive a Roamer the balance OF this
season. also during 1920.
Sarles' first contest under his new
contract will be to compete in the
Elgin road race in August. He will
! then take his car to the Pacific
coast and prepare to compete at the
! opening of Ascot Park on Thanksgiv-
ing. He will start in all the import
, ant track and speedway races in Cali
! fornia during the winter months, and
come East early in the spring for the
5OO-mile contest over the Indianapolis
speedway.
Mr.. Sarles has gone to indianapolis
to get the Roamer that was wrecked
and bring the car to the Barley plant
where il will be entirely rebuilt and
made as good as new. Fortunately
the motor was not injured in the acct
dent and will require very little work
to make it operate perfectly as in the
past Mr. SarIes considers this mo-
tor one of the finest power plants
ever turned out by the Deusenberg
Company. Sarles will be at the Kali
amazoo factory for about six weeks
and will have full supervision OF the
reconstruction of his car, and intends
to embody therein several interesting
and unique features.
SarIes' Fame Spreading.
Sarles is one Of the best known Pa
cific coast drivers, and his fame is
rapidly spreading throughout Amer
lea. He added greatly. to his laurels
early this year by numerous dashing
victories at the wheel of the Roamer
special. and doesn't hesitate to ex-
press his warm admiration for the
merits of the car in general.
He is confident that his new Roam
er, built just as he wants it. will be
one of the fastest things on the track
and capable of trying conclusions
with the best made domestic and
foreign racing machines.
Discussing his hopes and aspirations
for the future, Mr.. Sarles said: Il
shall not rest content until I have
won at Indianapolis. and intend to
bend every energy to secure a car
fast enough to finish in front on that
speedway Fortunately, closing the
deal with Mr.. Barley makes il pos
sible for me to begin preparations for
next years racing at once. will take
my new Roamer to Elgin and COM
pete there. then go on to California,
where a splendid series OF contests
is promised for the coming winter.
From Thanksgiving to April 1 there
will be four races at Ascot Park, four
races at San Francisco; also the road
races at Santa Monica and San Fran
cisco. In case 1 care to try my luck
on the dirt tracks, abundant oppor-
tunity will be offered at various Cali
fornia points. The San Francisco road
race promises to become one OF the
great automobile classics on the Pa
cfic coast. 1t is being planned on big

Two drivers of public vehicles were
held up early this morning at the
points of pistols and robbed. Warren

was robbed Of his automobile and SIS.
while Roy L. Hadley, 635 I street
northwest, was robbed of SO.
Walker was hired by three men at
the Union Station about IL o'clock
last night. In the vicinity of Silver
Springs, Nd, Walker turned to the
trio and told them since he had no
Maryland license tag he would have
to turn back into the District.
According to the story told Night
Inspector Weldon. one of the trio
then drew a revolver and ordered
Walker from7t the car. while the other
two robbed him of his money.
The police believe the trio who
robbed the chauffeur are the same

The second robbery occurred short
