Greater Economy the Need In Use of Tires Says Gates Salesman

Tire manufacturers will have to in- crease their oI.put between 30 and 40 per cent to keep up with the de- mand this year, according to figures compiled by automobile and tire man ufacturers.
 At the opening of 1920. the automo- bile registration showed that there were 7,692,523 automobiles in use in the country. Automobile manufactur CTS expect that the production this year will reach 1,50O,0O0 new automo- piles, most of which are already sold on previous orders.
 The automobiles now in use will require 3S,457,615 tires, counting an average of S,ye tires per year per car. Seven milli@2, five hundred thousand more tires wilbGe required to equip, the 1,500,000 new cars to ks manufac- tured this year, or a grand total of 45,957, 615 tires.
 All the tire manufacturers in the country last year produced about 33- O00.000 tires, and at the beginning of 1920 predicted that the output of the

Ford Laboratory Is
 Striving to Effect
 Gasoline Substitute

Five thousand gallons of benzol, a by-product of coke used for motor fuel, is now being daily extracted and refined at the Ford Motor Companys blast furnace coke ovens neear De troit. Michigan. This fuel, which is more highly combustible than gaso- line, is now. being sold at public station at the above named plant, and has proven highly satisfactory. The price at present is about the same as that of gasoline.
 While the Ford Motor Company is not the first to discover or use this fuel for motor cars, still the public station is the first ever opened to sell benzol exclusively for motor car consumption. This filling station carries a supply of 25,O00 gallons of benzol on hand all the time. To date some 100000 gallons have been sold and used by car and truck drivers in Detroit. Particularly durng the re1 cent strike there was an exceptional ly large demand for this product.
 Benzol has not as yet reached the highest stage of refinement, and pre- sent results are best when it is mixed in equal portions with gaso- line Heat and cold also affect diff derently from gasoline. But the Ford

cars built for this years race have been frightened of every superfluous ounce. down to the drilling Of holes, scientifically spaced. in the frame, cross members and many of the work ing parts.
 Light drivers and mechanics will have a noteworthy advantage, espe- cially in the elimination trials. We have already seen how this works out in the case of the little Carnation car, entered by Louis Chevrolet in the 50O-mile race of 1915.
 Louis, as everybody knows. weighs around 19O pounds and boasts the garage name of Fat" When the time came for him to qualify the Car nation, the best he could do was a couple of seconds short the required speed for the lap, though he had the throttle against the toe board all the way So Louis called on Joe Boyer who must be 30 or 60 pounds lighter, and Joe put the car well inside on his first trial.
 In spite of the lightness of the cars and crews, do not expect to see any notable difference in fuel con- sumption this year. This is again in line with past experience. As the power of the smaller motors has in creased, the demand for gasoline has kept constant. Speed means power and the only way for gasoline en zine to develop power is by burning gasoline. The little racers that will furnish the sport May 31st will he gas-eaters beyond anything of theiI size that ever traveld the highway.
 From present indications, the field will be up to the limit of the track with France, England and Italy wei represented, in addition to fine fleet of American cars.
 The Southern Arizona Aui) Com pany will get returns on this race The public is invited to come to the garage salesroom next Monday and hear the returns.

500 tire factories would be about 36- 100000. If the demand of the auto mobile owners is to be met, nearly 10,0OO,O00 tires more than were anti. cipated must be turned out.
 "This condition calls for a greater economy in the use of tires, if the country is to escape a serious short age" said J. w. Hendry. owner of the Gates Service Station in Lowell. There are lot of motorists in this vicinity who see this danger, and men who never gave a thought to tire economy before are coming in to ask how they can get additional mileage out of the tires they already have"

TO DEMOCRATS

-NSpiuShiH 'ohSS SVHitStlVH With VtH-
er Reforms Prevents Him from Ac-
ccpting Nomination for Presidency
by Prohibition Party in Session.
Lincoln, Neb., July 22.--Ohio got It's
third presidential candidate for the
1920 campaign when the Prohibition
national convention named Aaron S.
Watkins of Germantown, Ohio, after
learning from William j. Bryan that
nc would not accept the nomination
voted him yesterday.
Mr.. Watkins won on the second bal
lot after he and r. Fl. Patton had each
received 50 votes on the first.
The vote on the final ballot was ::
Aaron Watkins, los; r. II. Patton, "a :;
ID. A. Polling, "a; c. A. Randall, five.
Mr.. Watkins was born on farm
near Rushsylvania, Ohio, and IS :;
years Of age. He preached II years in
the Methodist church before starting
teaching, and was nominated for> gov
ernor Of Ohio on the Prohibition ticket
in 1905 and 1908.
IN accepting Mr.. Watkins said his
campaign plans were up to the nation
al committee but he knew it "would
dc an active campaign"
Bozeman, Mont, July 22-Wlliam ].
Bryan tonight reiterated his refusal
to accept the Prohibition party nomi-
nation.
The first intimation of his nomina-
ton for the presidency by the Pro-
hlDition convention at Lincoln, Neb..
was received by him at o'clock this
afternoon at Madison Lake, upon his
return from a fishing trip when he
read an Associated Press dispatch Civ
ing the text Of the telegram sent to
him by the convention at Lincoln. He
was 40 miles from any telegraph Of
nee at the time but as soon as he
reached Norris, he tclegraphed a re-
ply declining the nomination.
The text Of his telegram is as fol-
lows:
please deliver following message
to the chairman Of the Prohibition ma
tiona convention now in session at
Lincoln, Neb.
. Having been away from the rail-
roads and telegraph facilities for the
past "a hours, | have not received your
telegram notifying me Of the nomina-
ton rendered me by the Prohibition
,nart,y convention pnt rno6;,,p . oon,,
of it in the Bozcman Chronicle, has
ten to reply. l profoundly appreciate
the honor done me in rendering this
nomination and | fully share in the
conventions interest in prohibition as
the permanent policy OF our country
and in the strict enforcement Of the
Volstead act without any weakening Of
It's provisions. l also share the con
vention's disappointment at the fail
ure Of the Democratic and Republican
parties to pledge their candidates to
such a policy but can not in Justice
to the Prohibition party nor to myself
accept the nomination.
"Aly connection with other reforms
would make it impossible for me to
focus my attention upon the prohbi-
tion question alone and besides / am
not willing TO sever my connection
with the Democratic party, which has
signally honored me in years past.
"I have not decided yet how shall
