GIL ANDERSON BACK
 WITH STUFF COMPANY

Gil Anderson, sensational engineer. pilot and outstanding figure in auto mobile racing history, has returned as head of the experimental engineering department of the Stutz Motor Car Company of America, Inc Indianapolis
 An intrepid race driver, Andersons skill and daring have made hi ma con tender in every classic since his debut as a Stutz pilot in the first 500-mile race on the Indianapolis Motor Speed way in 1911.
 Those on the inside know him best as a man who not only successfully crove Stutz cars in all competitive races, but also was responsible for their building Anderson was with the Stutz company from the very start, having carried on rhe experimenta, work of the first Stutz car built and remained with that company until the time of his going with the Revere Mo- tor Car Corporation some two years ago His engineering abilities placed him at the head of the production de- partment of the Revere Company, first as engineer and later as general super 1ntendent
 Four years ago the Stutz Company adopted the 16-valve motor on the strength of the experimental work over which Anderson had full charge and the racing success which later proved the advantages of this design
 By using 16 valves the famous race driver said, -four cylinder simplic- ity is maintained, giving all the adyant- ages of power. speed smoothness and flexibility gained by the multiple cyl inder motor. The valves are necessarily smaller, eliminating the possibility of warping and crystalizing from high speed service"

TRACTORS BEING TURNED OUT
 AT $50 CLIP NOW

On February 19 at a. m., Fordson trac- tor No. 100000 left the assembly line in the Fordson plant at Dearborn. Mich, slightly less than two and one-hair years after No. was completed. And here again has Henry Ford set new high record in the manufacture of farm trac- tors via the quantity production route.
 Although the Ford interests are very recent entrants in the ranks of the trac- tor manufacturers, yet Henry Ford really built a tractor-of the steam type-before he started work on his first gas car. And incidentally, that tractor and the first car, still in very good running condition, and Mir. Ford occasionally demonstrates both to visitors a: his farm in Dearborn.
 Some fifteen years ago Mir. Ford began work on what has come to be the Ford son. This tractor was really a Ford car equipped with special wheels and includ- ed of course, some mechanical changes. By 1918 he had a workable tractor; it plowed, narrowed and did much other work on the farm. Then ensued nine more years of experimental work before the first tractor was put on the market
 Fordson tractors are now being assem- bled at rate of $50 daily at Dearborn,

STREET CAR TRACKS
 ARE BAD FOR TIRES

Sure way to shorten the life of tire is to spin wheels in ruts or make prac- tice of driving in street car tracks. Ruts grind into the sidewall of a. tire where the protective covering is the lightest. Fabric tears follow with disastrous re- suits to tire mileage" says P. Y. Whit man of the Whitman Floyd Motor Com pany. Federal tire dealer in Birmingham.
 Driving in tracks not only brings all of the wear in one spot in the tire but on all tracks theer are splinters of steel worn from the tracks. Tires pick the splinters up. They work their way through tire castings or cut and tear the protective covering, with either immediate bad results or a very considerable loss in tire mileage.
 'It is best to avoid car tracks and r1Its But it is especially desirable to avoid spinning the wheels in ruts. The best way is to drive in car tracks only when absolutely unavoidable and, if com pelled to drive in ruts drive in the cen ter and drive slowly"

GOSPEL CAR" IS
 LATEST IN TRUCKS

One of the most unique uses to which motor truck has been put is the "gos- pei carp of the Rev. w. A. Downer of Glassboro N J. Rev Downer recently purchased a one and one-half-ton Repub- lie chassis, and on it mounted special body of his own design. The body is seven feet wide, twenty-two feet long and is the largest ever mounted on a one and one-half-ton Republic.
 This truck serves two worthy purposes. IL is a travelling church and also the home of the evangelical party of four the Rev. and Mrs. Downer, their daugh- ter and an organiE Used as home. there are sleeping accommodations for five people, a complete cooking outfit, run ming water, electric lights and many other conveniences. Used in gospel work. there is q pulpit that opens up, organ and plenty of seating space.
 The gospel car" is the first of fleet that will be equipped and put into serv- ice in cross-country evangelical work. AL ready this truck has covered considerable territory in the south and southeastern part of the country. and is now en route 100 at the St. Louis assembling plant, and it is estimated that within short time the Des Moines branch will be In opefa- tion There is also an assembling plant in Cork.

T AUTOMOBILE PARTY
 LATEST IN FIELD

Now that the political pot is boil ing, and dozen or so candidates have thrown their hats into the ring why Tot a National Automobile Party?
 At first glance this may seem to be it over it becomes really serious. There ar now about 100000 motor cars and trucks in this country. In two years there will be 10000, 00o. Even with the present number of owners. if all voted tie national automobile ticket, they could swing every national and state election.
 For a platform suggests w F. Jovelady. of the ChristianL Loveiady Sales Company, local Columbia distrib- rtors, the national automobile party might adopt the following blanks;
 q. Good roads everywhere with just distribution of the cost thereof
 '.2. Scientific supervision of gaso- line sources of production
 "3 Fuller use of the highways for passenger transportation by motor car and freight transportation by motor truck, same to be encouraged by the federal and state governments
 "4 Widening of highways wherever necessary to care Cor the constantly growing volume of automotive traffic
 ~5 A scientific investigation of H. cense rates and just way of deter mining them

Electricity to Win Next War

From the Popular Mechanics Magazine
 That the use of high explosives in modern warfare has about reached the end of it's development. is the opinion of a French inventor of one powerful compound of that nature. Neither can poisonous gases, it is indicated. be made much more dangerous than were those contrived in the world war. Fly ing mechanisms of various types prom ise mucha greater menace, and il is probable that any new developments in scientific warfare visible in the next international disagreement will be electrical in their nature.

COMMERCIAL CAR IS FOUR-FOLD ASSET
 TO BUSINESS MAN

The commercial car is a four-fold as set 10 a business house. says Bffy Walters of the Edward Motor Company. local dealer in Chevrolet passenger and commercial cars.
 First of all there is the intrinsic value. This is determined by the quality of ma terials, the character of the design, the efficiency of the mechanical units, work manship, completeness of equipment and prestige of the car.
 Service is another measurement of value. Commercial ears serve by saw ing time, and labor. increasing the eff ficiency of traffic systems and affording the most direct and independent method of handling merchandise. Their service is dependable and enduring.
 They are a paying investment They increase the volume of business and profits They enable the owner to serve
