USE FEDERALS IN
 FOREIGN LANDS Many Governments Abroad Pick Truck For Its Gen.
 eraI DependabiIity

The use of Federal trucks by many of the governments of Europe is con- sidered by the Federal Motor Truck Company of Detroit the best recom- mendation so far received.
 In the land made famous by Kipling in the remote corners of Russia. Nor . way and the East Indies, Federal trucks ply along with the ox-carts and horse teams of the natives.
 Tn most of these countries the choice was made upon dependability; the choosers being of the most conserya= tive class. They have been chosen mainly for government use, for the carrying of mail, for passengers and railroads.
 The government of Norway for more than seven years has been using Fed erals. Federals were likewise used on the Russian fronts as ambulances and are still used for this purpose, so it is reported.
 In Persia they are used for mail and passengers, the British-Indiant gov ernment uses them for a variety of puf- poses. while the Dutch East Indian government has recently purchased a fleet of five The municipal tram ways of the city of Pretoria are using Federals for their maintenance and track laying equipment and the gov ernment of the Transvaal are using several.
 The fact that service stations can not be established in all these out of the way places speaks for itself of the dependability of these trucks.

AGED TEXAS WOMAN
 COMPLETES LONG TRIP

In her eightieth year. Mrs H. J. Butcher of Orange, Texas, who for many months of the year virtually lives in ce-Arrow, recently completed more than So600o miles of touring. Early in October she arrived in New York after haVing been on the road since June.
 My only regret is that must take a train back to Texas" she said. "but f must De pack in time to celebrate my soth birthday anniversary in my owi home
 ~ Just love to tour. I have been in all but five states of the Union besides trav- cling by motor through five countries of Europe.
 And next year I plan to tour again Tn Europe with my grandson who plans to attend the International Rotary con- ference at Edinburgh, Scotland"
 On her next European trip Mrs. Lutcher intends to take her largest Pierce-Arrow. which has travelled 375,- OOo miles, and which recently was equipped with new Sedan body
 T used to say I never would tour in closed car" said Mrs. Butcher. "but during the last two or. three years have had such delightful and pleasant trips in my closed car that I much prefer it for touring. And I notice an increasing number of closed automobiles on the road. With this type of car can have it as warm or as cool as desire and I also have protection from dust and rain"
 Mrs Lutcher's touring record is the more remarkable when it is realized that few men have travelled as far as has this woman of advanced years

QUALITY IN BACK
 0F PERFORMANCES So Declares Earl Mcclure in
 Commenting on Dort
 x Motor Cars

There must be quality back of per- formances which are being reported by Dort owners everywhere and every day, and in view of the very modest advance in the last. two years. the company cannot lower prices and up- hold it's ideals" says Earl Mcclure of
 the Mcclure Motor Company Dort dealers.
 The other day J. Alexander of 4O04 Jefferson avenue. Detroit drove to the salesroom in that city with tour ing car bought in 1917. He had driven it more than 24,000 miles and said that he- had spent exactly 30 cents for maintenance outside of fuel and oil. This summer MT Alexander drove from Greenfield, Ind, to Detroit, 345 miles, over muddy roads after a rain, on 13h gallons of gasoline, an average of bet ter than 251a miles per gallon.
 such cases prove the contention of the maker tkat the cars will last through hardest usage and that owing to the accessibility of parts the owner icans do. his own service work very easily

LEAKY INNER TUBE IS
 HARD ON TIRE MILEAGE

leaky inner tube is the parasite of tire mileage. Even a slow" leak will handicap tire and sap the life of the casing. In a few miles, underin- flation will rob the tire of many miles of service
 Leaky inner~tubes come from va- riety of causes. It may be that the valve plunger is worn or sticks; the lock-nut at the base of the valve stem may work loose; or running ffatNmay honeycomb the inside of the easing with tiny holes.
 In running tire soft or in chang ing it along the roadside, foreign sub stances. get in between the rim and beads and work around next to- the tube. Though these holes are, as a general rule too smali to be seen by the naked eye yet under pressure they will leak enough air-tc let tire down fifteen to twenty pounds in a week time. according to Mill.- tire servics experts.

VOTE EARLY AND THEN COME SOUTH Ballots Are Asked For So Men Can Tour Into Dixie For
 Winter

Absent voters ballots are in big de- mand this year-and the motor cars responsible.
 The reason is that winter vacationists are hitting the trail early this fall for tlle resorts in Florida and California. Formerly most of them migrated from the ''cold lands" by train and didn' { start until nearly Christmas This year they are going in automobiles and are starting early to take advantage of the good roads and fine fall weather.
 This premature exodus is causing cleo. ton boards to be swamped with re- quests for absent voters ballots. Few of the winter resorters-nen or women want to lose their chance of voting in the presidential election and consequently

Carriage painting is not an easy job to be undertaken by the layman, says American Motorist. To repaint a car and do it properly requires experiences and care and not merely one but num- Der of coats of paint.

ROAD MAPS POPULAR

The increased use of motor cars by the winter vacationists is shown by the num- ter of requests for road Information reaching the travel and transport bureau Of the B. r. Goodrich Rubber Company. During the past two months, l500o Flor ida road maps have been distributed. The demand for California maps from persons living east of the /rockies has 5een almost as great.
 The requests show that about ninety Fer cent of the winter resorters from he states east of the Mississippi will 70 to Florida for the cold months. Na- cationists from the. Mississippi valley are dividing in almost equal numbers to go to Florida, resorts on the gulf. and te california. Practically all resorters from the Mississippi valley west are going to California.
 IL is estimated by the Goodrich burea J that at least a half million persons will take part in this winter migration. If the winter in the north is severe, the number probably will increase to a mil lion. A large majority of the vacation ists will spend at least month in tne land of sunshine and flowers while mary will spend the entire winter there
