EUROPEANS WILL
 PARTICIPATE IN
 SWEEPSTAKES

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 29-(SpeciaD- Three European nations will be repre- sented in the ninth annual 5o0-mile International Sweepstakes race, on the Indianapolis motor speedway, May 30. French, British and Italian cars will compete for the s5O,00O purse and an equal amount of accessory awards.
 France has been represented in every race, by foreign drivers and cars from across the water, since 1913, except the war years of 1915 and 1916. Eng land has not started a car in the races since the war and Italy has been absent from the Hoosier classic since the fleet of Isottas raced in 1913.
 Much interest of the fans will be centered in the Italian delegation. Ac- cording to information received here here from w. F. Bradley. the European representative Of the speedway, the Fiat is finally going to send over a team of three cars. Louis Wagner. who won the first American Grand Prize at Savannah in 1908, is expected to captain the team, although Fiat has not announced it's drivers or formally entered A decade ago the Italian car was more feared than any racing outfit rivalling the German Benz for suprem- acy in America. Its last appearance in the local classic was in 1912 wher Teddy Tetzlaff finished second to Joe Dawsons National
 1 The tri- color will flutter from the helmets of at least seven drivers pilot ] ing three Peugeots and four Ballots i The Peugeot is said to have some new ! 1SS-inch cars with Jules Goux as tean captain. While no overtures have beer made to Howard Wilcox, the Indiana polls boy who won with this make il i1919. it is expected that he will have I one of the trio The Ballot eight in
 line" team will number four. It ha'
 been announced that Ralph DePaim;
 and Jean Chassagn will have two O
 these cars. but the other members hav' not been selected.
 The British entry will be the Sun

 since 1918 to win the 500-mile race l Dario Resta. 1916 Inadianapolis winne
 and American champion, and Andr Boillot will drive two of the three ev Sunbeams designed by Louis Coataler
 It is possible that the third Sunhean
 may fan to Rene Thomas. the 1914 win
 ner. If it does not it will he becaus France will have another team in tn
 race. with Thomas at the helm.
 It is also reported on the other sid
 that Jean Porporato has been busy thi

Will Sell Standard Brands of Tires On
 Easy Payments

John Sabra, for . years a resident Of Phoenix, and for the past year of Tucson, has purchased the interests CS Frank Headlee and Cal Messner in the John P. Coates Tire House. AIr. Sabra has completed all arrangements and is now actively engaged with Mir. Coates in reorganizing the concern and work ing out plans for a substantial enlarge ment of the business.
 One Of the plans that will be incor- porated in the policy Of the concern will be the advantage offered the pub
 lie to buy tires on the easy payment plan Mir. Sabra comes into the con cern with ample resources, which to-
 gether with those of Alr. Coates will
 enable them to extend a very liberal credit to the motoring public along this line
 Many indeed are the car owners, as well as truck owners, who have been handicapped through the lack of ready cash to properly equip their vehicles with satisfactory and standard tires. They have long realized that they were simply throwing money away to put on cheap wildcat brands of tires, but due to circumstances have been forced to buy such inferior goods through lack of financial ability to buy the standard brands.
 Mir Sabra removes this handicap in his new policy which will enable the public to buy standardized tires at a small amount down and the balance by the month. at the same time paying no
 more than if they paid cash. i Another feature of the rev establish ment will be a cosy and comfortable ! ladies rest room. where ladies may rest while tires are being changed on tnan- ears. This is certain to appeal
 to the woman driver who is forced 10

Motor Cars So Thick
 Kick Dust Tn Each
 Others Windshields

The motoracrs in the United States if evenly distributed over all the public highways would still be so thick that they would kick dust in each others windshields.
 Statistics show that there are nearly S,o00, 900 motor cars in the country.
 The motor car registration for last year was 7.5e5, 446 The total road mile age in thic country is about 2,475.000. This makes an average of a little more than three automobiles for every mile of roadway in the country.
 In Rhode Island. the smallest state there is one automobile for each 251 feet of public highway, or 21 cars for
 each mile.
 In New Mexico and Nevada driving is least likely to be congested. as these two states have less than one par per mile of road.
 License revenues amounting to more than S1.000,000 annually are now en- 1 joyed in 20 states. New York leading with S6,000, ,000, Pennsylvania seconI with $500 900 and California thirt with S4.500.000. Iowa and Illinois arr running neck and-neck race foi fourth place. both going we'll over th' | sS, o00, 900 mark. lowas has the great, 1 est per capita ownership of cars, witl one for every six inhabitants.

Six states, Alabama, Kentucky, Lou isiana, Maryland Mississippi and Vir- ginia will not hold regular sessions next year, but it is possible that they will call special sessions for the con- sideration of revenue and other i'm portant measures.
 The motor vehicle conference com mittee of the National Automobile Dealers association is laying plans to collect prompt, complete and accurate information regarding the introduction and progress of motor vehicle bills in both the federal and state legislatures which will hold sessions next year.
 Tn addition the motor vehicle confer ence committee is completing the or ganization of subcommittee in each one of the AS states of the Union. Through the medium of these sub-com- mittees facts and arguments will he laid before the state law makers to guide them in the enacting of motor vehicle legislation based upon scientific and equitable principles.
 During the course of the year 1920 ii state legislatures meeting in reg ular session considered a total of ap- proximately 1000 bills directly or in- directly affecting the motor vehicle ' With this as a criterion it is reasonable to suppose that in 1921 between fouI and five thousand motor vehicle meas
 ures will engage the attention of the
 law makers.

How long win a tire run !?

How long VIII a. tire run
 If all tires should wear like a pair now doing service on a car owned by John Brodie of Los Angeles, the tire manufacturers of this country could take seven years vacation without seriously jeopardizing the nations tire supply.
 Just seven years ago Brodie bought two 30x3is Goodyear tires, placing them on the rear wheels of one of the old 1.-two lungers" of former days and for three years they carried him into nearly every nook and corner of south ern California, without once faltering. Then the old timer gave way to gas chariot of more recent vintage. But Brodie, unlike his illustrious lnamesake of Brooklyn bridge fame, was unwilling to take a chance, so before disposing of the ancient Columbia, he removed the two faithful Goodyears and transferred them to his new mount | Then for two years he rolliclIed over | the highways and byways of the south west, traversing desert trails and stony mountain roads until the time came tC l choose his flivver's successor. So again he removed the rear tires which had not been off their rims for any purpose whatever. and mounted them on his new Chevrolet. And now after two more years of uninterrupted service these two tires are still doing their daily turn.
 Brodie does not know how many thousands of miles they have actually
 run in their seven years of service, a.
 the ancient two hunger" was no equipped with a speedOmeter, but judg
 ing from their performance on his las
 two cars he ayers that the correct fig
 ure is somewhere near 10000 miles
 Both tires are in such condition al

 they find their final resting place il
 the gsSge graveyard. Like Tennv

 to TUE Sn forever Brodie's chief worr. now is how many cars he will have t ' buy 10 wear the tires out.
 The Keynote of his success. however , is absolute compliance with the simpl rules of tire care. To quote:

Single Six Has Same High Standard As
 TtUin Six Model

The high standard of materials and accuracy of manufacture which have distinguished the Packard Twin-SiX and given it it's reputation for reliabil- ity. smoothness of operation and en- durance appear in the fullest degree in the new single six" says J. V. Smith of the Smith-Vincent company, who are now showing the first cars of this new model.
 This quality and character" he went on, give this smaller car the same as- surance against undue or uneven wear brealIage, noise and other troubles which have distinguished the twin. They make it possible to predict with assurance that this car will have all the advantages that are possible except in automobiles of the heavy, long wheel base type, and that it will be good for at least ten years of service.
 'In choosing the steels that have gone into this car, the Packard engin- eers have taken advantage of the in formation they have gathered through their years of work in perfecting the twin and in aeroplane engines. The steel of each individual part has been specified separately as to the alleys, toughnesS and hardness, and has been put through the most delicate processes in the famous Packard heat treatment department, to enable it to meet per fectly the exact duties which it must perform. This has been done so care. fully that an expert can tell from the tiniest fragment of one of the steels from what part of the car it came. One of these steels has the tensile strength of 235,0OO pounds 10 the square inch and an elastic limit of 210,0O0 pounds If there is any steel of anything lilS, equal strength in use in any other car have not heard of it.
 Equal care has been taken to insur the utmost accuracy in the fitting of al the working parts. It is easy enougl 10 specify accurate manufaCture-th Packard maintains a rigid inspection t make sure that it's delicate measure ments are lived up to, and the new ca Is being manufactured alongside tn twin and by the same mature and ex perienced organization. In the manu facture of this car there are 220 proc esses which have to be accurate { within a thousandth of an inch, whic is less than half the thickness of a hai Nineteen points have to be finer tha this. and one is five times as fine. Alto gether the various parts of the car hay to pass over 15,0O0 inspection tests; O the upper halp of the crankcase alon for example, PAS separate points hay Co be checked by the inspectors
 Ut is work of this kind, carried oJ i'm the entire manufacture, that make it possible for Packard to say that il standards have been fully maintaine in the new light weight, modera' priced car.
 Tt is important. to0 that this ca makes its appearances with the ur usual advantages Of having an eXper euced selling organization. and the se vice of tho same stations which tal arc Of the Packard Twin-SiN ar trucks"

HUSTON URGES
 HEAVY TAX ON
 AUTO INDUSTRY

Tn his message to congress, Secretary of Treasury Houston. makes recon mendations for raising the nations estimated tax budget for 1921. includ- ing additional taxes on the motor car industry.
 His specific recommendations direct ly effecting the motor vehicle, are as follows:
 Double the present per
 cent on tax (total to be
 10 per cent on motor car,
 accessories. to raise. .S1OO,0OO, ,00O Federal license tax of s50
 cents per horsepower on
 on motor vehicles ....... 100, COG, ,000 Gasoline tax, cents per
 gallon ................... 90.OOO,O0O Total ...................S .S290, ,OO0, 900 Tho present motor truck sales tax remains unchanged at per cent.
 His other recommendations include tax collections of at leost S4,000,000,00O annually.
 He opposes a general sales tax.
 Elimination of excess profits tax to be replaced by funds from other taxes is urged.
 Flat tax on corporation profits in ex- cess of distributed earnings and sug- gested rate of 20 per cent is advocated Increase in normal income rates oi from T to per cent to and 12 pen cent, is advised
 Increases in stamp taxes is planned. Increased taxes on theaters, moving pictures. cigarettes, cigars, jewelry anC other articles now being taxed on theil sales is advised.
 The industry paid during the las fiscal year. s143 419.OO0 to the fedora government, besides S64,046,000 fo state registrations. We feel that thi is enough.
 If the secretary's suggestions wer carried out, the industry would b asked to pay more than 10 per cent O the nations estimated tax budge which Is S4.0O0, 900, ,0O0. It would re quire the automobile industry to pay il direct class taxation. a sum equivalen to one-half of the total national budge in the year preceding the war.
 This recommendation of the secre tary of the treasury is fin conformit with the custom of having recommen dations to make to congress. Consider ation of tax matters is not expected a the short session of congress. but vii come up fin March or April.
 The National Automobile Dealers association proposes to take such step as are within it's command to resis any program of taxation that wi shove on to this industry such an un warranted burden. Equality of taNe between industries in our belief shoul he considered before further additio is made ee an industry already heavil taxed.

SaUe Your False Teeth With These
 Shock Absorbers

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 29--(Special). Non-sldd shock absorbers for false teeth are the latest thing Heretofore shoe kabsorbers, non- skid tires. rubber heels. and such-like things have sup posedly been limited in their applica- tion but now chemical concern in Cleveland is advertising powder which, sprinkled upon "store teeth" Is supposed to form a smooth cushion. hold them firmly in place, and give a mon skid" effect while they romp over the toughest roasting ears of corn and shew the stickiest candy.
 It is comforting for one who has lost his natural teeth to supply himself with this antiseptic, adhesive pov7er at a drug store. and proceed to laugh and sneeze, crack nuts and do other hazard ous things without risk of shaking his prized store teeth" from their upper and lower berths.
