TIRE
GROWS POPULAR
Great Increase of Use on
Trucks Attributed to
Economy.

Again and again one hears the
story, changed from solids to pneu-
matte equipment" The popularity
of heavy duty pneumatic tires for
trucks is rapidly gaining momen-
tum. Some idea of the extent of the
movement may be-had from the
fact that in trucks from three
quarter ton to five tons, twenty
seven have changed from solids to
pneumatics and fifty-one from solid
to optional equipment.
In one-ton trucks, eight are now
pneumatic shod and eleven optional
solid or pneumatic. In one-and- one-
half-ton sizes, six are regularly
on pneumatics and 'twenty-three
optional In two and one-half tons,
two are already on pHeumatics and
nineteen optional. Even in five-ton
sizes the pneumatic tire is making
headway.
In the opinion of high officials
Of the Miller Rubber Company, the
pneumatic will ultimately be the
tire adopted for long distance haul
ing. II the proper imitation on
pneumatics Is strictly adhered to,
these tires will deliver more mileage
and more service with more comfort
than solids.
The pneumatic has in its favor
both superior traction and superior
cushioning. 1t saves gas and oil
consumption and lessons mechan-
ical repairs and depreciation. 1t
protects both road and load. 1t has
greater hauling radius, increased
speed, and affords drivers comfort

KEEP HIGHWAYS
FREE OF SNOW
Goodrich Paper Says This Is
Essential Of Good Roads
Program.

Business organizations, automo-
bile clubs, public onicials and all
interested in motor transportation
are being asked to cooperate in
making plans for snow removal
from highways during the coming
winter. Attention is called to the
fact that this is an essential part
of a complete good roads program"
says the Goodrich Dealer.
There is but slight possibility
that railroads can Increase their
transportation facilities sufnciently
to meet all needs for all forms Of
transportation this winter. In con-
sequence the necessity Of keeping
the highways open for motor traf-
&c, both by truck and passenger car.
Is apparent Recurrence of SHOWS
such as blocked the roads for weeks
last winter, would cause a critical
condition in the economic and busi-
ness world.
The highway departments OF most
States in the snow belt are alive to
the necessity OF snow removal and
realize that now. is the time to make
their plans for It. But the State Of
ficials must have the cooperation
of county oficials throughout the
State. Aroused public opinion is
often necessary to insure this CO.
operation.
1T is apparent that with millions
invested in motor cars and trucks
and other millions invested in roads
1t is poor business policy to allow
them to be unused for many weeks
out Of each year because Of snow.
The cost OF snow removal is small
compared with the dement's that will
accrue from having open roads"

thorough course of instruction.
To mechanical experts this course
serves as a sort of finishing touch

at the factory. While to dealers
and statesmen 1t gives technical in
formation of extreme value in their
sales efforts.
Although the course in the study
Of Studebaker cars from a mechan-
ical and service standpoint is COM
plete, those in attendance at the
school have the privilege of taking
only part of the course If they
choose; in other words. of special
izing on those subjects coming in
the line of their particular duties
Every facility has been provided
for practical study and demonstra-
tion and all instruction, both theo-
retical and practical. in charge of
expert service engineers and tech
nical men. Instruction is also given
in the use of modern tools.
The couF Fse is divided and sub

He succeeds here J. l. Wacksmuth,

ANTI-THEFT DEVICE FOR
AUTO MAKES LOUD NOISE.

isn't always safe for car thieves to
judge by appearance.
The interior mechanism of the
safety-scope does a whole lot of
things which, from superficial in
spection would not seem possible, as
can be gathered from the descrip-
ton of the device given by the po-
lice inventors:
Siren Attracts Attention.
1t consists of a contrivance for
shutting or the motor power and
set of signals which Indicate
whether or not the lawful owner is
in charge Of the vehicle. Also i'm
mediately upon being tampered with
the device automatically sets OF an
audible alarm siren.
The signals consist of two circular
disks. an upper and lower one, and
diamond shaped disk, which is
substituted for the upper disk when
the car is left unattended.
Tne lower disk is permanently af-
nxed to an indispensable part OF
the vehicle. 1t contains a burglar
proof lock and the upper disks
when in place are locked to it. On
its race Is the owners distinctive
mark. his monogram or any other
emblem that suits his fancy.
When the car Is lawfully in mo-
tion the upper circular disk Ms at
tached. This disk can be seen some
distance away, even when the car
is going at good speed.
Tell q Policeman sign.
The diamond-shaped disk is white
in color. On the face of the dia-
mond Is the inscription: Tell a
policeman IL this car moves carrv-
ing the diamond disk"
When the owner or his agent
parks the car or leaves Il unattend-
ed In garage or elsewhere. he re-
moves the upper circular disk. sims
1t into his pocket. and thereby au-
tomatically shuts on the motor
power He then substitutes the dia-
mond disk, locking II into the lower
disk. This whole operation Is ex-
tremely simple. 1t can be accom-.
plished In a flash and becomes quite
as commonplace as the unlocking
OF the switch or turning over the
motor.
The diamond disk displayed IA q
signal that the car should NOT he
IN motion. Should a thief attempt
TO drive on with a car displaying
the diamond disk he would find that
the motor power is shut on. II he
should oy some ingenious method
be successful in removing the dia-
mond. disk he sets the automatic
alarm horn in operation, sounding

pledged their support to good roads

1T is entirely natural that wom-

roads. Women are vitality interested
in measures such as centralized

recreation in the open air, and
transportation of foodstuffs to mar

only through adequate highway
systems. Women may be counted
on to heartily support any move
where the welfare of the commun-
ity, their State or their country is
in the balance.
'-The good roads forces Of the
United States have been swelling
slowly, gradually and surely for the
past 100 years. At first the advo-
Gates for better highways were few

cred by their fellowmen as fanatics
and cranks. Since the advent of

Automobile Men Urged to Make
Strong Protest Against Proposed
Tax Increase on Motor Cars.

Believing that the automobile in
dustry and automobile owners are
too heavily taxed. dealers and others
interested in motor cars. who at
tended the weekly luncheon of tns
New York Automobile Dealers As
sociation last week. were asked by
Alfred Reeves, general manager Of
the National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce, to strongly protest
against any increased taxes by either
State or Federal authorities.
Reeves showed that the industry Is
now paying $4,000, 900 dollars an
nually to the Federal government,
with State fees OF s64. 600 and
other fees Of $50. ZOO, 900. or a total
of s2s7.ooo,0o0. Although carrying
this annual burden Of more than one
quarter of a billion dollars, Reeves
says suggestions were made by Sec
retary of the Treasury Houston
which will add 100 per cent increase
in taxes on the motor car dealer
and manufacturer.
He spoke enthusiastically Of the
coming National Automobile Shows
the National Automobile Chamber
| Of Commerce as having a successful
influence. He said the expositions,
both in New York and Chicago, were
expected to bring about a keener
resumption Of buying and that the
automobile industry, would as a re-
suit show a return to a period of
activity that would augur well for
the future.
Strongly Oppose Tax Increase.
News that a further tax is pro-
posed on the automobile owner. has
caused dealers, to give this matter
serious thought The dealers are
loath to believe that an industry
just about to show recovery from a
period of heavy depression Would be
burdened in such a manner and they
are strongly against the tax.
The automobile industry is pay
ing heavy taxes. and wants to pay
heavy taxes, to cover the expenses
Of the war and the present needs
of our government" said Reeves.
Just now it is not alone paying
taxes along with other industries,
but a great many discriminatory
taxes against the modern method
Of transportation by motor vehicle.
Unfortunately great many
people, in talking taxes on motor
cars, think of the few Rolls Royce
cars on Fifth avenue. instead of
the millions OF Rolls-Ruff cars on
the highways OF the country. They
