years OF age. He has many friends
here who hope that tho situation can
be cleared up. and the young man be
placed on his feet again. From the
accounts published. however, it would
seem that young Hetrick has been
travelling at pace so reckless and
extravagant as to preclude the pos

good on his many financial transac-
tions.
Seen yesterday. VIM. A. Hetrick,
father OF the young man, said that
he feared, from what he was able to
learn on a hurried trip to Atlanta
after having notice OF his sons trou-

indeed. He did not doubt for an in
stant that his son had hoped to turn
a bad situation to the advantage ul-
timately OF those associated with him

as though, in his last frantic efforts
to save wreck, he had gone too far,
involving himself criminaly with the

SPOKTITE SERVICE STATION
ESTABLISHED IN Ell PASO

An official Spoktite service station
has been established in FL PasO, at
the Southwestern Auto company. for
the convenience and service OF auto
lists who are troubled with loose and
squealy spokes-
1t has been true for a long time
that motorists have become so accus-
toned to running their cars with
squeaky wheels and spokes that they
have lost sight OF what these squeaks
really mean
A squeak IN an auto wheel means
that Il is loose and working lOoser
with every turn OF the wheel; sooner
or later IL viii collapse, and If this
happens on a railroad track or on a
bad turn, a serious accident results.
Cracking paint around the Joints
is a sure sign that the spokes are
looseninE from the hub or rim, and
even before the wheels have got to q
squeaky stage, Spoktite should be
used to permanently swell the wood
TO its original tightness-
The product "Spoktite," which is
manufactured By the Woodtite lab

several years been recognized as a

Motor Transportation Development

Has the passenger car reached
the zenith OF its meteoric career2 And
the motor truck-has It, too, reached
a stage where future production will

The Travel and transportation bu-
reau Of the 3. T. Goodrich Rubber
company, after an exhaustive survey
Of the possibilities OF the motor We
hicle, gives an emphatic negative
answer to these questions. It decides
that the possibilities Of motor trans
portation development are almost
limitless.
'The best informed men Of the
country" says the bureau, are agreed
that there was an unsatisfied demand
for more than 100000 cars during
1919. The inability TO supply this
demand was primarily due TO lack OF
labor and material This demand was
undated at the end OF the spring
season OF 1920 despite heroic efforts
in production, extensive expansion in
finance and building on the part OF
car and truck manufacturers
although production today f.
by far greater than last year the
autOmOtive industry finds itself
barely able to keep abreast OF
immediate needs.
Every Indication points toward a
total motor registration In the United
States by 1925 Of double the present
figure-or 100000 passenger cars
and trucks"
Ircredibie as this prediction may
appear, the Goodrich bureau says
that IS based on a sound analysis OF
the present trend OF motor transpor-
tation needs and is not rash, super
optimistic statement OF biased

bureau, "pessimists asserted that there

that the automobile fills a definite

DnUes Almost From Los

Using Kerosene as Fuel

Johnny Allen. Of the Paige Sales
and Service company rolled into Fl
Paso last Tuesday morning from Los
Angeles. Practically the entire run
was made on kerosene. The route
covered 1170 miles via the Parker
cutoff and Phoenix There was no
gasoline TO be obtained in Los An
gsles, so Mr.. Allen ran the motor in
his Paige Larchmont until IL was hot,
then filled up the tank with kerosene
and started. He states that hs had
no trouble with this fuel. BY ad-
justing the carburetor for a slightly
richer mixture and keeping the motor
hot he was enabled to burn kerosene
nearly to FL Paso. and only changed
over when gasoline became plentiful
and kerosene scarcer.
