GERMANS BUILD
 OWN SPEEDWAY
 NEAR HANOVER

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 25-(SpeciaD Because the management of the h. dianapolis Motor Speedway company would not permit German cars to be entered in the last race. and at the tune intimated that they would not be received until they were accepted in other lines of sport, seems to have spurred the Teutons to build their own race course and play by themselves in their own back yard.
 Whether German motor car builders will attempt to enter cars in the con- ing 500 mile International Sweepstakes race for a purse of S50000 cash on May 30 over the bricks of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is not known. Entry blanks have not yet been sent out and it will be some time before the former foe of the Allies will have an oppor- tunity to even attempt to enter the competition.
 | The Germans are contemplating a l five mile steel surfaced course near | Hanover This will be an innovation In speedways if the plan is carried out for there never has been a track surfaced with steel Most specially con- structed speedways are wood the In
 di&napolis course being unique in that ! it is built of brick and concrete. ] Heretofore most of Germanys rac- ing prowess has been gained in the other fellows bailiwick. The Indian
 apoHs 500-mile contest is popular in Germany because it is the representa-
 tive International racing event in America attracting only the more prminent racers from foreign climes.
 It is said the German Speedway will
 be made of steel plates of a founda-
 ton of trussed concrete. Its circum-
 ference will, be five miles and it will
 be 40 feet wide; within the diameter
 of the track it is proposed to erect a
 gigantic building containing private
 assembling plants and testing labora : tories; by this means it will be possible
 fer the various designers to cooperate in securing the best results with new models.

AIN OF THREE-A
 TO FEC|LITATE
 WORLD TRAVEL

WASHINGTON, Dec 25.--To make foreign travel easier for the American tourists. the American Automobile Association is negotiating with auto mobile clubs of other countries for an international license The object in obtaining such courtesy is to mini mize the inconveniences until now undergone by American tourists on entering country by machine
 An arrangement has been olsum- mated with the Automobile Associa- tion of Great Britain and the Touring Club of Belgium by which those or ganiZations issue license to the American tourist for travel in each of those countries. The tourist receives the document before embarking for the other side. The A. A. A. issues 1t and guarantees the return of the car to the United States.
 Besides Great Britain and Belgium, other countries are expected to join the United States in this international touring arrangement. The Interna tional Touring Alliance. of which the 4. 4. A. is a member, is planning to establish common licensing form among the member countries. by which the automobile owner may obtain from his home government a number which takes care of the registration of the car and it's driving in other countries.
 The cooperation of the United States government is being sought in this movement by an amendment to the Sweet Pitman bill now before congress. The bill, as it now is worded,s provides for recognition by all states of the registration licenses issued by one another.

WOMAN RULES BUYING WHILE
 HUBBY PAYS

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 25-(SpeciaD Ten years experience as automobile salesman has brought Edward s. Jor- dan, president of the Jordan Motor Car company, to conclude that every nor nal man is ruled by woman" and that, therefore, women are the vital point of attack for salesmen."
 That is what members of the Cleye- land Chamber of Commerce heard when he talked to them on the auto mobile industry at the present time. He diverted from his optimistic summary of the industry's future long enough to explain to his audience how woman reacts in buying an automobile.
 First, says Jordan, "as she enters the salesroom, she Is unconsciously in- fluenced by the color and lines of the car. Then, consciously or unconscious ly she runs her hand over the leather of the upholstery.
 Satisfied with the feel of it she instinctively puts her foot on the run ming board, enters the car and sinks back into the seat. Then, if she is comfortable, she promptly asks the name of the carl"
 Jordan made a survey of the aver age number of persons riding in a car
 "On week days" he said, T found the number averaged less than two 10 2 car. On Sunday afternoons it was les. than four. The greatest. seven pas. senger car in the world is the For l and the greatest two- passenger is tn, | Pierce Arrow
 Jordan attributes Henry Ford's sue cess to the fact that "he built a car fo the other fellow, while most manufac turers built one for themselves"

PUNCTURE VINES CAUSIN | MORE
 GRIEF ON COAST

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. 24-More worry for the motoristi
 This time Dame Nature has stepped in with the "puncture vine"--as if glass and tacks were not sufficient to cause worry and profanity.
 The "puncture vine' known in the dead language as Tribulus Terrestris is rapidly spreading throughout Califor- nia, according to the state department of agriculture. Unless steps are taken to ckeck it, it will become exceed ingly troublesome" in a few years to motorists as well as farmers and stockmen, says the department.
 In Kern county. it is estimated 90 per cent of the bicycle punctures and a large proportion of automobile tire punctures are due to this pest.
 One autoist in Kern county has the record of 72 punctures in one tire as an afternoons entertainment. Not only does it damage tires but also causes severe injuries to farm animals and barefoot children.
 A single plant frequently attains a spread of eight feet. Each plant pro- luces thousands of burs with sharp spines about the size of a carpet tack, which always lie with one spine turned upwards.
 It's spread is directly traceable to the railroads, rays the department of agriculture, having been brought to the United States from the Mediterranean region in ships ballast.

Motor Simplicity Winning FaUor
 States Jorrord

The Apperson two-result motor four-cylinder as-thrifty and eight cylinder fleXible-is certainly winning public appreciation" says T. E Jar rard, vice president of Apperson Bros Automobile company of Kokomo, In diana.
 Tt has taken intensive work in our engineering department t. bring the eight cylinder engine to Apperson per- lection. The nearest w can come to a few-word explanation of how we have accomplished results is to say that engineering refinement in details, and boiling down of mechanism have made the Apperson eight as gas-thrifty as mighty good four of equal power. It is evident to everybody that the lea st mass of metal and the fewer pieces of metal that have to be put into action in machine, the less power will the machine waste in overcoming its own friction, lost motion and inertia Look all over the Apperson motor and you will see it has been reduced to rock bottom simplicity. And you won't find mechanism concealed beneath a neat cover plate.
 The complication simply isn't there Tn Tightening the total motion parts, ir smuggling up the action, and in refining the design in every detail we have made the Apperson just two small fours, merged into one at the base Each small cylinder takes only ar eighth or less of the gas consumed by a big four cylinder motor of e0ua power.

Handling Hammer
 Is Art In Itself

Care in the use or the machlnlStS hammer. which forms part of the tool equipment of every automobile, is one of the first things the amateur au- tomobile repair man must learn when working around the engine, says writer in the current issue of American Motorist With this hammer he can do more damage in a moment than a good man can repair in a week. His first in clination is to use this form of per suasian on any and every refractory part, and this is a desire which should be overcome.
 Not only should the hammer itself not be used on any metal parts without the intervention of a block of wood to protect the surface. but care must be exercised to avoid hitting the other parts through the inaccuracy of aim that distinguishes the unskilled wielder of this tool
 A poorly aimed blow that misses it's target and lands on one of the valv7 push rods or similarly vulnerable parts with any degree of force is apt to cause trouble of an expensive nature.
 It is a good thing for the novice to 5e sparing in the use Of his hammer as <, cure-aI. Do not resort to it unneces- sariIy, and do not use a sledge-hammeI blow where a light tap will do the work.

DETROIT MAKES
 AUTO THIEV|NG
 RISKY BUSINESS

DETROIT, Dec. 5-(SpeciaD-By means of a system of thorough infor nation and prosecution, Detroit has been able to cope successfully with the automobile bandit problem. W. $. Gilbreath, manager of the Detroit Au tomobile club, has headed the move ment which has reduced the number Of thefts in that city to such a degree that the city has dropped from first to third place among American cities in the number of cars stolen.
 The Detroit Automobile club has found but one way to check automobile thefts." says Gnbreath. That's by em- ploying legal counsel and private de- tectives.
 Our club keeps complete records ia each case, which are open to the pc lice at all times. Our attorney follows each captured thief through the courts. looks to the presence of complaining witnesses and handles all details of the prosecution.
 Tn addition, a bulletin containing confidential information is published each day and is circulated among those interested in experimenting automobile thieves. This bulletin states the num- Der of cars missing, Chara cterlstics of the cars by which they may be identi- fled. and the manner of their disap- pearance. Recovered cars are also re- ported so they may be checked off the lists of the various chiefs of police and sheriffs We find this system to be very efficient"

If there ever was a time when the purchasing power of the dollar was worth s2, that time is now, and in the industry, too. Never have sucA values been offered by automobile dealers as those which are now being offered to the people of this city and valley.
 . Take look at these values, gleaned from the advertisements of responsible dealers. They are all used cars, out the values are there. It emphasizes the very little necessity for any man to be without his ear, and for any family to be denied the wonderful pleasuEe and satisfaction which the possession of ear affords them.
 Here they are, selected at random all typical of the wonderful values of fered:
 1917 Maxwell touring. car. ss25; 1917 Ford touring, s2O5; r91S Hudson, ST. 900; 1917 Dodge touring. S390; 1918 Dodge touring, $500; 1920 Oakland touring, S1, 100; light six Buick s550; l1919 Chandler touring. $120o; late Wnlys- Knight, S1,150; 0lds light four touring, $500; new Hudson -speedster, ! $2. $50, and so on down the list.
 Of course, some of these cars, where the price is unusually low, are not in | dS BtlIi1C COlfU4llOi1 as Ot1AtlS AAleIi AAENl at higher prices, but, dollar for dollar, there is not one offered that Is not a real buy.
 The place to buy 6 used car is from a responsible dealer, which is contrary l to the beliefs of some people. who be- | lieve they can secure a better buy from q private party. The reasons for the soundness of the policy of buying from a dealer are as foIlows3
 First-Almost every dealer has a number of cars to select from. | Second-He has had an opportunity
 to put these cars in good running shape with the facilities he has in the
 way of first-class mechanics and
 equipment
 Third-The element of responsibility l is present with the dealer where it is

Women Big Factor
 Tn Bringing About
 Good Hi g h tO e y s

When women won the right to vote the good roads forces Of the country received Zen bloc" it's biggest army oi in history. Since equal sui frage has been in effect the better highways cause has been enriched by $356, GOO, ,000-this amount being voted for road improvement by the electors of eight states at the recent elections.
 The travel and transport bureau ol the B. F. Goodrich Rubber company be- lieves that votes for women" is the biggest single forward stride for high way building since the advent of the, motor vehicle. It points out that high way bonds issues carried by large ma jorities in most of the states and that in the various state campaigns women took active and aggressive parts. The issues carried were: Minnesota, $t00,- ,000; Missouri, $60,000,000; West Virginia, s50000000; Colorado. $5,000. 900; Idaho, $2,000,OO0; Virginia, s5O,- 100000; New Jersey. s29.000,oOO, and Kansas, S6O,000, GOO.
 This sum-S356, ,0O0, ,000-added to the S650, 900 already available in feder 4l aid appropriations and state and county tax fund and bond issues, makes a grand total of S1,006,4S7,0 GOO now available for good roads construction in the United States.
 Reports from various sections throughout the United States show that women voters in general lined up on the side Of highway Improvement" 1" says the Goodrich bureau. For ex- ample, in St. Louis just before the close of the campaign to Lift Missouri Out of the Mud the women of the city maae l big final public demonstration in ! support of the bond issue.
 t That women are real good roads ' enthusiasts is attested by the fact that they will not continue their activity to campaign times In PennsylVani& the state federation Of women's clubs and other women's organizations, mum
 bering thousands of the most influen- tial and public spirited women in the state, have organized to deal with high way commissioners of every county in
 dividually. Moreover they have pledged
 their support to good roads bond issues
 Tt is entirely natural that womer
 should be interested in good roads
 Women are vitally interested in meas
 ureS such as centralized rural schools
 healthful motorized recreation in th'
 open air. and transportation of food StuffS toamarket, all of which are at tainable only through adequate high
 way systems. Women may be countet } on to heartily support any move wher
 the welfare of their community, thei state or their country is in the bal ance.
 The good roads forces of the Unite States have been swelling slowly. grad ually and surely for the past 100 years
 At first the advocates for better high . ways were few and far between an
 were considered by their fellowmen a
 fanatics and cranks Since the adven . of the automobile, good roads en
 thusiaSts have multiplied more tha , during any other period in America
 history. Unquestionably the next mos
 powerful step was when women wer

AUTOS LINK NEW YORK
 WITH MAINLAND

NEW YORK, Dec. 24-New proof of the immense volume of traffic going in and out of New York daily is pre- sented by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. It is in the form of figures showing the number of motor vehicles that go daily to and from Manhattan island.
 Based on three separate surveys. it is shown that 154, TOO motor cars and trucks enter and leave Manhattan daily. Of these. 139,900 cross the bridges that connect the island to the mainland, the rest reaching the heart of the city by ferry.
 The average number Of passengers in car is 2.7, and the trucks have an average of T.14 tons. Manhattan and Queensborough bridges have the heav- fest motor traffic, which at times reaches as high as 1344 cars an hour Over the Manhattan spans the daily travel rate is 20.214 motor vehicles. tle number of automobiles totals 1894
 The extent to which traction lines are relieved by passenger cars is shown by the fact that 420 600 persons use the latter method of travel daily 1 This motor traffic is equivalent to nearly one- third of the Interborough Subway business, which carries 1.367,- 000 fares daily. The passenger car | figures take account only of vehicles lentering or leaving the city and do not include trips within the city.
 Trucking is heaviest in the early an6 middle pfrt of the week, showing 2 slight falling off or Saturday to 8 negligible amount on Sunday.
 Twenty three per cent of the trucks counted during three days were trav- cling without loads, which suggests the need for fuller use of return loads bu- reaus and possible lack of economy 1T planning trips on the part of the 1 owner

EVERY FAMILY CAN OWN AN
 AUTOMOBILE THESE DAYS

sel. for today? Only by tremendous production can Ford or any other man ufacturer give the public the value if demands and has been educated to eX- pect
 The automobile industry, of all American industries, has done more 10 build up the supremacy of the United States and it's people than any com bination of industries. Where would tn. country be today if it had to de- pend upon horse drawn vehicles? The railroad system Of the nation has all ways been totally inadequate. The country has grown far faster than the railroads There are not half enough freight cars in the country today to move the crops and manufactured products from their source to the pri- mary terminal points of distribution The motor truck is doing simply won derful service. It has done more to re- l tard the high cost of living than any thing else, and the cost of transporta- ] ton would be several times higher than l it now is were it not for the automo- ] bile and truck.
 Without question no industry mer- its the support of the public more thar
 the automobile and allied industries.
 Since 1912, the automobile registra- l ton of the country has climbed from one million to eight million cars.
 The total investment of capital ir l the industry, according to recent fig ures, was over two billion dollars, an6
 the annual production over two and
 one-half billion in value. The tire in
 dustry alone turned out $500,000,00
 worth of tires last year.
 This all rebounds to the benefit o | the public Cars are cheaper, trucks are lower in price. tires are within the reach Of every automobile owner good, serviceable, standard brands witt strong guarantees back Of them. Truly l the value of the dollar asserts itself to- day in this great industry as a result of the huge production which must ab- solutely be kept up to keep car, trucl and tire prices down and to carry or the transportation of the country. By buying your car now you accom- plish two things. You save by getting
 a wonderful value and you are puttins
 your money into an industry tha played and is playing a greater role il ? the upbuiIding of the United State than any other or combination O : others.

The main feature causina such acci- dents is the fact that bicycle aP- preaching from the right or left can not be seen by the motor car driver until the cyclist is within the glow of the headliahts, and if a car happens to be passing ooinq in the opposite direc- tion. the driver of the car is in great danger of striking the bcyelist, as he finds it almost impossible to discern an object through the combined glare of the four headlights.
 Notable instances of this have oc- cured on North Central avenue, above Mcdowell road. Here the roadway is narrow, and when two cars pass each other, there is little room left for any thing else on the road. If a wagon is proceeding up the road, and pulls over

it is very apt to be struck if it carries no light.
 The ordinance specifically requires all horse drawn vehicles to carry eth CT a red lamp or red lantern. The best way to carry this red light IS to suspend it under the wagon, generally under the front axle, where it can be seen from the front as well as from the rear.
 All bicycles are required by this ordinance to carry a lamp on the front with a light visible for at least oOO feet. and to either have a red lamp on the back or a red reflex mirror which light must be visible from the rear for distance of at least POO feet. Many a broken leg or arm would have been avoided had the boys who
