Gypsy Tours Planned
for Motorcyclists IN
Several Eastern Cities

Akron, O., June 4.-The annual ma
tional motorcycle gypsy tours viii be
held this year on June 1919. as usual
under the auspices Of the Motorcvcle
and Allied Trades association. i
There promises to be greater in
terest than even manifested in this

Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. Arrange
ments are already under way every
where.
The motorcycle is certainly q won
derful medium for the get-together
spirit. Instances can be multiplied
where business, and the community in
general, have been benefited through
the motorcycle clubs, where the motor
cycle enthusiast and his friends meet,
and where dealer meets dealer.
Whereas few years ago motor
cycle clubs were practically unheard

town without one, or more. Many have

Chicago have quite pretentious places.
with the growing demand for the
motorcycle by merchants. police de-
partme1ts, messenger and telegraph
companies, postoffices, etc, and their
growing popularity for riding to busi-
ness as well as for pleasure, motor
cycle registration promises to continue
its upward climb so that it is evident
the time is not far distant when Amer

tons in the use Of the motorcycle as
it is the use of the automobile"

Satisfied Customers
Back Up Hassler's
Liberal Advertising

1--WE have been scolded bit by some
Of our competitors because they be-
lieved we were trying to hog the mar
ket by using larger amount Of ad-
vertising than all other producers OF
shock absorbers combined" said Rob-
ert Fl. Hassler. head of the big shock
absorber organization at Indianapolis.
''True. we do advertise literally in a
large number of publications, and we
get good results, particularly from
newspapers. But this is not the kind
of advertising that enables us to dom
mate our field as we do.
II admit we dominate the shock alb
sorber field But the advertising that
makes it possible for us to do such a
remarkable thing is the verbal adver-
tising of cur one million owners. These
one million motorists are talking con-
tinuousIy about the satisfaction they
are getting, and it makes such a selling
corce as simply couldn't be equalled
in any other way.
''And when this fact is considered it
is easy to understand why we should

0UALlTY0F MOTOR GASOLINE
NM0NTANA now MUCH BETTER
Since State Inspection Law Was Passed in 1919
There Has Been Marked Improvement Stan
dard Of Automobile Fuel; Distillate Method Is
Y Used IN laboratory Tests by Chemist.

I pie in principle and are almost axlo'
matte. The chief problem is to III
| limits, defined by actual tests that viii
| satisfy the desirable conditions.
Zone Of the most desirable condl-
tions to be attained in the develop
ment Of technical or commercial un-
| dertakings is that producers and users
shall be able to determine the relative
" desirability Of commodities on tbs
basis Of simple and accurate tests uT
to a recent date, such a condition has
not been reached in regard to gasoline,
and it was believed that satisfactory
specifications, based on laboratory
tests could not be written for COM
mercial attractions in this commodity.
Claims were frequently made that act
ual use constituted the only adequate
test of the value of gasoline.
1T is now definitely established that
the most unreliable test in vogue for
gacoline is that of the average user who
tries it out in his car. Engine tests,
if conducted in the laboratory in con-
nection with power measurements, are
still the last word in determining the
utility Of motor fuel, but the internal
combustion motor is so complex a
mechanism that it cannot be made to
serve as an analytical instrument ex-
cept when handled by experts. Prop
erly interpreted results of m analysis
in the chemical laboratory gives
more reliable information concerning
the utility of grade of gasoline than
anything less than the most elabor-
ately conducted engine dynamometer
tests or the collective experience Of
a large number of users"
The standards of quality and
strength for gasoline kept or offered
for sale in the state Of Montana shall
conform to the following standard
specifications. says the law Of 1919:
lit shall be free from water and
other foreign matter and deororized.
''2.-It shall not contain any acid
in sufficient quantity to be disclosed
by the official litmus test.
''3.-Its volatility as determined by

much Of the gasoline stock on hand
was not up to the standard required.
The state oil inspector notified all
refineries and dealers that they must
discontinue the sale of this poor grade
gasoline as motor gasoline" and sell it
as "engine distallate.''
Quality Has Improved.
As soon as the poor stocks of gas
oline on hand were disposed Of,
marked improvement in the quality of
market gasoline was observed. Deal
ers were able to secure gasoline of
better quality and as inspections and
laboratory tests have proceeded, there
has been a continuous improvement in
the quality of motor gasoline on Mon
tana markets. This is shown in the fol-
lowing figures:
Between May 10, 1910, and June 1,
1920, 265 samples were tested of which
only % per cent met the state law

PRIME VACUUM TANK
WHEN GAS RUNS OUT

Nearly every motorist at some time
or other has the peculiar experience
of running out of gasoline, says The
Buick Bulletin. Whenever the supply
tank has been completely exhausted
it is necessary to prime the vacuum
tank before the carburetion system
will function again. This is generally
done by removing the plug on the top
Of the vacuum tank and filling the
tank with gasoline.
The easiest method, however, is
after replenishing the supply of gaso-
line in the feed tank. to close the
choke on the dask, retard the spark
and advance the gasoline throttle
lever. Then throw on the switch,
and after waiting for about three
minutes, start the motor in the usual
way.

Prices Firm, However, With
Raw Silk Continuing Sem
sational Advance; Rise
Checks Trading Here

The major textile and allied mar
kets showed little activity yesterday,
although prices ruled firm to advanc-
ing. The activity that developed in
the primary cotton goods market on
Wednesday in sympathy with the high
or prices ruling for raw cotton, was
absent to-day, when the cotton market
lost all it had gained before the hoi-
day. Cotton goods prices, however, re-
NAMED unchanged, with sellers, cspc-
cially secondhand holders, unwilling
to shade prices to make contracts.
Raw silk continued it's upward price
trend but trading was at minimum.
Cabled reports from Japan placed SIN
shiu No. j, 10 to 20 yen higher than
in Japan. This, with the holiday here
on Thursday, interrupted trading IN
raw silk. Yokohama prices yesterday
were quoted on the basis of 1881 yen
per bale, making New York. prices
about S7.30 pound. Rumors that
900 ven had been paid in Japan were
current in the market but unconnrmed
in the cables.
Large transactions in the textile mar
kets from now until the end or tne
year are not expected, due to the de-
sire Of wholesalers to keep stocks as
low as possible for the December IN
ventories. Retailers are purchasing
fairly we'll now, according to reports
here. Cotton goods commission mer-
chants said yesterday that their sales
men on the road visiting retail stores
are turning in good orders, although
quantities in the main are not large.

Credit Agency Head
Sees Norm,aIcy in Year

A slow but sure trend toward nor

president OF "Thc Credit Guide" who
from his observations of credit con-
ditions and other factors in the
business world believes that the
process of complete rcadjustment
will be completed within the next
twelve months.
"Our exports will take on greater
volume" he said. "With the coun-
try's production increasing, it is
imperative that quicker under
standing be had with the buying
countries abroad in order to avoid
a possible relapse. Domestic CON
sumption and home public buying
are not keeping up with increased
production. Wholesalers and man
ufacturers are not altogether op-
timistic about rapid return to nor
NAL conditions because Of recent in
creased buying. Present demands
are looked upon largely as being
purely seasonal, but it is gratifying
to now that there is a large in
crease in sales, in many quarters
reported to be fully so per cent
