Ansel denied he had entered into

that he would be paid what was stiil

Ansell admitted he had ,"perhaps
put too much confidence in Gibboney,"

Bergdoll would attempt to escape. or
he would never have arranged with
General Harris for the draft dodger

French Bar American
Cars From Paris Show

Application blanks for the Paris
Automobile Show, recently received in
this country, bar American cars from
participating on the same terms as
other major countries. The National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce
feels that this is step backward in
international relations, especially as
the American automobile industry has
been petitioning Congress to reduce
the present tariff on all imported cars
from As to 80 per cent.
S. A. Miles, show manager for the
N. A. c. c., is now in Europe and will
take up the question of this discrim-
ination with the French automobile
authorities. The clause in the appli-
cation blanks referred to which strikes
at American exhibitors without spe-
cifcally naming them reads az follows:
Manufacturers belong to Allied ma
tions are admitted on the same terms
as French firms, provided they have
taken part in three previous Paris
shows and on condition that their pre-
war import duties were not more than
Is per cent ad valoren."
Under such rule American firms do
not have the same choice for space as
British, Belgian and Italian manufac-
turers, because our pre-war duty was
the same as at present.

That phrase in the autom obils world,
guaranteed for So and so many
miles," has been snare and a delusion
to many motorist. II Is apt to give
the driver Of car the Impression that
no matter how or where the auto is
driven nothing can prevent the tires
lasting that many miles. Didn't the
manufactures put that guaranty on his
product? And wasn't he sure of his
tires going that far under the most
adverse conditions before he took the
risk involved in his guaranty? And if
they don't 60 the prescribed distance
isn't the manufacturer and not the
owner Of the car the loser, since he
has to make his guaranty good?
No, the owner is the loser. il he
doesn't get, through good care Of his
tires, every possible mile out OF them.
A tire guaranteed for 5000 miles ought
to net its owner 10000 miles under
normal conditions. The manufactur
ers win out If tires are not given
proper care, since more tires must be
bought under such circumstances.
Yet che maker of tires prefers 70
have his product treated decently. If

A. G. A. Suggests as One of
Many Suburban Tours a
Run to Lake Hopatcong;
Rough Stretches No Bar

There are many interesting short
tours that take the motorists ffty
miles out of New York through Long
Island, Westchester County and New
Jersey. through country that is espe.
cially beautiful during the month q
May, when apple blossoms and dog
wood are In full bloom. AS one aug.
gestion the bureau of tours Of the
Automobile Club Of America outlines
for this week trip to Lake Hopatcong
some short stretches of road may be
round to be rough and one or two short
detours will be encountered, but the
TOURIST IN no hurry and motoring for
pleasure Will not mind the short,
rougn stretches which can easily be
traversed without discomfort.
From New York cross the Forty-sec-
ond Street ferry and on reaching top
OF hill turn sharp right and follow
winding road along the Cliff Drive to
bullshead. turn right into Anderson
Avenue and continue to the end in
Fort Lee. Turn left and and 20
through Leonia and Bogota to Hacken-
sack. Turn right into Main Street and
left into Passaic Street and run to the
waterwheel in Arcola. Take left fork
and follow winding road through Haw-
thornc and Oakland, then around beau
tiful Pompton Lakes to Bloomingdale
and continue due west through Char
iottesburg to Newfoundland. From
Newfoundland there is short way to
reach Lake Hopatcong over a narrow
dirt road, which is interesting if fol-
lowed In dry weather, as it goe5
through a wild and rugged section of
Central New Jersey. The villages of
Oak Ridge and Petersburg are passed
to Berkshire Valley, where the trunk
line is taken to Lake Hopatcong.
A Better Road Route
Better road surface is utilized from
Newfoundland, although considerable
longer in distance, by continuing north
to Stockholm, then by Beaver Lake to
franklin Furnace, from which point
there Is a dirt road, which is generally
in fair condition, going through Monroe
to Ackerson and Lafayette. About two
miles beyond Lafayette there is an ex-
cellent hard surfaced road running
south through Netwon, Springdale, An
dover, Cranberry Lake, Stanhope and
Nctcong to Ledgewood. From Ledge
wood there is macadam road to Mount
Arlington and Lake Hopatcong.
For the return trip from Lake Hopat-
cong hard surfaced road is found by
retracing the route to Ledgewood and
then going due east through Dover,
Rockaway and Denville. At the sign
marked Mountain Lakes" and along
the Morris Canal go through Boonton,
Montville, Towaca, Lincoln Park and
Mountain View to Singac. thence south
on the Pompton Turnpike to Montclair.
From Montclair there are two alter
mates for the return to New York. Th9
shorter, but not the best In surface,
lies through Glen Ridge and via John
- p11
River is crossed into tho Arlington
Pike, which is followed to the Hudson
County Boulevard, returning to New
York via Forty second Street; the other
route follows Bloomfield Avenue into
Newark, thence over the Plank road
to the Hudson County Boulevard and
back to New York.

The anatomy Of tire is made up Of
six major parts-the tread, which IS al
the point of contact with the road; the
breaker strip, which protects the car
cass against ruptures; the cushion,
which absorbs shocks; the side wall,
which protects the carcass against
gravel and water; the carcass, which
carries the load, and the bead, which
holds the tire in place on the rim.
About one-third Of tho cost of run.
ming car goes into tires, another third
into gasoline and oil and another third
into general waer and tear. On this
basis, third Of the owners attention
to his car should be devoted to the
tires. Some such proportion Of care to
the tires would increase the joys and
decrease the expense Of motoring ire
mendously.
