Fate plays some queer pranks. In
Passaic, N. j., a motorist knocked
down and injured an elderly man; the
police got on the case and pursued an
automobile, whose driver was suspect
ed of being the one who ran down the
elderly pedestrian; the driver Of the
the pursued car stepped on the gas"
and in wild flight ran down and
killed two young boys and then
crashed into telegraph pole, demol-
ishing his machine but, strangely
enough, not injuring the fugitive driv-
n to an extent considered worth chron-
icling in the news dispatches of the
trail Of tragedy. That the driver of
the motor vehicle escaped injury was
the queer turn of fate.

A railroad dividend stands forth like
a big thing in a world of depression
just at the present time; SO the action
of the directors Of the little Wood
stock r. R. company, here in Yer
mont, in declaring two per cent div

company fo- 1921 constitutes really
important development. President
Richard Billings of the company as

BRIGHT OUTLOOK
SEEMS ASSURED
AUTO INDUSTRY
Chevrolet Review Says
Present Owners Will
Buy Again.

The automobile Is essential dur
ing the whole twelve months Of the
year, but 1t is during the spring
and summer that 1t is most poular,
states the Chevrolet Review for
May. a.
1t is during these months when
people think most about travel. 1t
Is then that the whole country is
in its prime and invites all men TO
explore It. Those who own motor
cars today are able to respond to
this invitation. To travel in an au-
tomobile in spring and summer is
a rich experience. 1t affords the ex-
hilaration of power and motion and
the restfulness OF bodily comfort.
And 1t is an added comfort to the
minds of the majority of automo-
bile owners today that all these
things are possible at little cost.
Practically everyone desires to
own a car. This is a fundame tai
desire. 1t Is based on two things
the love of independence, the desire
to travel-to cover distances quick
Iy and the longing for the bes'
things in life.
The automobile makes it's owner
independent of every other mean
Of conveyance. 1t Is the most i'm
proved method of transportation
! Everyone knows this. Everyone car
see the proof of it everywhere. ev
cry day.
The man who has to walk would
! like to ride. The man who has Il
depend on public transit facilities
| limited as to distance, direction
speed and comfort. would like Il
| be independent of them. The mar
who rides in someone's else auto
mobile would like to own a car him
| self.
And the things people buy are tn,
things that they want. when the!
want what is useful they have NOR,
reason to buy. Need and desire ar
the stepping stones to possession.
There are more than 100000
! people today who have satisfe,
| their need and desire by the pur
, chase Of automobiles. None o
these will be satisfied without car
In the future. There are million
Of others who desire to become au
tomobile owners.

STOOD UP !
UNDER HARD WAR.
TEST IN SIBERIA
japanese Cite Car Twice
For Mechanical Eff
ficiency.

During the world war, while at
tention was focused on the great
struggle in Western Europe. a part
OF the campaign was beng carried
on by the Japanese army in North
ern Manchuria and Siberia Much
OF the territory in which there was
lighting was tar from railroad
and the transp" p"rtation problem was
Of great Importance. Supplies must
be delivered to the lighting forces
without delay or serious Interrupt
tion. The wOundeaemust be taken
to the rear.
The japanese authorities solved
the problem in this case by or
ganizing a motor transport service.
The car selected for service or
such a character must of necessity
be capable of withstanding the
greatest amount of abuse and neg
lect without ceasfng to function.
1t must be easily handled and be
free from all complication. 1t must
also be capable of being easily re-
paired in case of mishap. To full
fill these exacting conditions the
Japanese authorities chose the
Buick-encouraged. perhaps, by the
performance Of a fleet of these cars
in Cobb desert. in Mongolia, a con-
quest OF impossible conditions that
has become world famous. That
their confidence was not misplaced
is shown by the fact that the Japa-
nese distributor has received from
two different branches of the serv-
ice citations of the cars used.

that there is an infiexible steel cas-
ing within instead of brass metal
scales as flexible as the tail of
fish. The bare suggestion that n
tire such as the Lee has a metal
content sometimes arouses an OBJ
lection. which. although it is partly
right. is totally wrong. It Is this:
You can't combine rubber and
metal"
This contention Is only near
scientific, but it has been aired by
many people. The fact is that steel
may be combined with rubber so
that the two are thoroughly ad-
hered. In addition to the practical
application of this fact as seen in
the Lee puncture proof tires, other
common examples are the various
forms OF rubber-covered steel rolls.
"All in all. tire customers preju-
dices give zest to the business"
concluded Mr. Hickling

Don't Forget the Tires.

This is the time Of year when the
driver needs to be reminded not to
delay even one day in plugging
small casing cuts and vulcanizinG
larger ones. The ever-present water
must be kept away from the fabric.
Also do not let the tire beads get
rusty on the rims. Winter. whether
it be hard" or soft" is twice rs
hard on castings as summer. unless
they are kept in perfect condition

Mileage Of Tires
Increased By Care,
Declares Expert

What may a motorist expect
from his tires? No question seems
less understood among car owners.
A tire Is no stronger than its
weakest part, so the object Of every
tire manufacturer with an interest
in his product is to build a per-
fectly balanced tire. 1t Is not
enough that the raw products be of
maximum strength and quality.
Balanced construction Is of first i'm
portance.
Strong beads are useless with a
weaker carcass. There is no OH
ject in the side walls enduring after
the carcass Is gone. The same Is
true of the tread and of the breaker
stIjp in1bedded in cushion gum An
over amount of material going into
any one part not only increased
cost without increased efficiency,
but the weakening OF the whole.
A tire under normal air pressure
and load will perform a specific
amount OF work. The same tire
under abnormal conditions OF over
load or under-infiation will in all
probability perform the same work
but for a much shorter period. Ex-
cessive strain on certain parts wear
them out more rapidly. Service
rather than mileage Is the guage of
tire excellence, according to Miller
tire men.
Mileage is only a condition in a
tire and is controlled in large part
by care or abuse. In IL road condi-
tions are important But service
| Is what Is built into the tire. From
standard tires a motorist may ex.
| pect excellent service. From "gyp'
| tires-so- called bargain 'tires--he
usually gets what he pays for. In
| own mileage by the conditions un-
der which. he uses his tires.

it can be made easy by the use o:

The doctrine of an endless hell
