OLDER We GET
MORE CONF FORT
We ALL WANT I

That the human race is constantly
growing more comfort-lo loving is the
opinion of Bob Coulter. manager of
Snow and Tufts Auto company.
Coulter is constantly studying human
nature and its tendencies.
When the first Oldsmobile came
out nearly % years ago." says Bob,
sit had no top at all. 1t was simply
an open car and if people did not
want TO get wet when they drove it
they stayed under shelter. Before
very long the car was fitted with a
folding buggy-top. and later with a
rubber boot or apron that went under
the bottom of the dash and covered
the sides of the front of the car. Even
with this rig, which was the best of
it's day and age, driving was pretty
uncomfortable in cold or wet
weather.
1T is pretty long stride from the
discomfort of the early cars to the
comfort of the modern closed car.
And of course the latter is more pop
ular. In the touring type Of car
only about one man in a thousand
drives with his top down, summer or
winter. Most people want protection
from the weather, and comfort at all
seasons.
AT the same time. there are many
who do not like the idea of an en-
tirely closed car. They want some
thing between the touring car with
curtains and the solidly built closed
body. This demand has been met
by the introduction of the Califronia
top. These are in effect permanent
tops with the advantages of the
open car from the standpoint of sun
and afr when they are wanted. The
Oldsmobile California top is secure
ly ironed all the way through, with
the rear stay irons through the tor

trimmings and eolidly bolted to the
sills and chassis frames. Outside
the top is OF black long grained

Glass panels in the rear doors
and in all window sections. except

summer driving is provided. Summer
curtains, carried in a compartment
concealed in the top, are protection
against sudden summer showers and
unexpected cool spells.

TIRE MILEAGE IS
MATTER Of CARE
CASING RECEIVES

How far should an automobile tire
run? Tire men today are emphasiz-
ing the fact that a. standard tire of
certain make is built to perform a
definite amount of work under nor
NAL conditions. Where the tire is
abused it simply falls faster and
gives less service than it would give
under normal use.
Bill Smith, manager of the Miller
Rubber company states that some
tires accomplish their work in run
ming 10 600 miles, others do the same
amount OF work in 5000 miles, and
others in $4,000 miles. Road, load
and operating conditions account for
the difference in mileage.
"a 32x4 tire" he states, (which has
carried an average of 500 pounds or
a of ton throughout it's life over
10000 miles, has delivered 1900 tom
miles of work. Another tire which
has carried an average OF 420
pounds or .21 of a ton throughout its
life of $4,000 miles will have deliv-
cred the same amount of work. That
is, 81 ton times $4,000 miles, or 3 200
miles. A third tire has carried
an average load of 1900 pounds or s.
of a ton throughout its life. 1t has
run 1900 miles and has delivered
per cent less work than the other
tires.
I'm this last case the tire has failed
25 per cent faster, due to overload.
In the last example the tire was worn
out before it had performed the 5000
ton miles of work as the other tires
had done because its strength was
over taxed.
Now the list price of Miller 32x4
tire which is used here as a basis, is
$32. 40. $32 40 divided into 5000
ton miles gives $1.00 per ton-mile
cost. Whereas $32.40 divided into
2,400 ton miles gives $1.33 1-3 per ton
mile cost. Thus the third tire has
actually cost 33 1-3 per cent more for
the work done than the first two.
The third mans expenses are entirely
out Of proportion to those of the
other two.
I'm cold cash this would mean a
saving of $40. 80 on each tire for each
1900 miles run"

also" the letter continues. There
is a tendency to forget all about
the air container once its is in
the casing Test it for slow leaks
and pinholes. Make sure the valve
plunger works readily. Sometimes
the plunger washer becomes stiff
and hard, breaking after lapse
from use. Test the hand pump
as well. II the rubber leaks, the
inflater is worse than useless when
out on the road"
There are few men in the auto
motive world who can speak of tires
and their needs from as fruitful
and wide an experience as Barney
Oldfield, and from the day Barney
drove the racing car, the 1893"
built by Henry Ford, and is the
name Barney has taken for his
S1S inch tire, tires have for thirty
years been this master drivers
study. 1t is evident then that the
motoEist looking for authoritative
information as to tire needs may do
we'll to talk thing over with Mr..
Oldfield's local representative.

TIRE ADVICE

March winds and April showers

old adage, "but it might be modern
lied a bit to take in many an
automobile that has been stored
against the winter says q recent
letter from Barney Oldfield, to Bill
McManus, manager of the tire depart
ment Of Ed Rudolph.
The letter was the racing mon
arch's annual message to his rep
resentatives dealing with the vital
need of giving attention to the
tires and tubes. as well as the cars
mechanism, following its winter
storage.
ITO commence With, make sure
that the axle bearings are all
set snug: loose bearing means
trouble, Check up the wheel align
ment. Misalignment is disastrous
to tires, for it means uneven tread
wear. This may quickly be detected
by excessive wear down the center
of the tread.
Then, before you take the joy
Gus swing into the road that is
the seasons perquisite, look over
the castings thoroughly. Even the
tiniest crack, cut or abrasion should
be filled at once with a good re-
pair compound, a single can of
which may save the cost Of a
new tire.
Examine carefully the tubes

light delivery cars, light trucks and
one-ton trucks. fully equipped and
ready for use. at the lowest price
asked today for similar vehicles.
The public generally has for some
years conceded the premier position
in this field to various other makers
of cars OIL light trucks, according to
their individual bias or business re-
quirements, but Chevrolet has forged
rapidly to the fore and now, with a
full line of passenger cars number
ing nine models and with a series of
three light delivery cars or trucks,
all of which are fully equipped with
all necessary devices for their con-
venient and comfortable or efficient
operation, first place must be award
ed to Chevrolet
The reason for this rapidly grow
ing popularity of Chevrolet automo-
bileS and light trucks is not dlttl-
cult to explain. The public has for
years been following the bogey of
low price for initial investment in
passenger and light delivery cars. AS
result they vert catered to by va
rious makers who produced and sold
in volume something that would run,
but there could be neither comfort

BAT Terry PRICES

The lowered price list on Prest-O-

that motorists generally are deeply

Ice station of the Prest- O-Lite here

This latest price reduction can be

fact. Prest o. Lite batteries are bet

proved by the way they stand UP in

bona fide reduction of the entire line

the job. In most cases when this had
been done, the final price was in ex-
cess of that for the Chevrolet, which
came fully equipped, ready to run,
and to perform both economically and
satisfactorily because it was a COM
plete car.
Today the new Superior Chevrolet
is without any question the worlds
lowest priced fully equipped automo-
bile, and because of this it has come
to be the largest seller in the world
among cars carrying full equipment
as standard construction.
Just count the Chevrolets.

the weakness of the American market
is due to recent large shipments of
Colombian coffee, the circumstances
remain that London prices are much
higher than American and that prac-
tically all of the remaining Costa RIGA
coffee is being diverted to London
THE closing of several of the far
eastern ports also handicap the
American market and when the full
pre-war competition for Central
American coffees including most of
the European countries begins to be
felt it will require all the efforts of
American coffee importers to retain
the Central American trade and they
will have to be content with cheaper
markets

FOUR HUGE ENGINES
NEEDED TO CONVEY
SPECIAL OUT OF CITY

With two of the Pennsy's biggest
engines on ahead, and two more be-
hind pushing, the Prosperity Special
of 90 Southern Pacific locomotives left
Richmond Saturday morning for In
dianapolis, their next stop on their
cross country trip from the Baldwin
Locomotive works to California
The locomotives which are to be
used on mountain work in the west,
reached Richmond at o'clock Friday
evening, and halted at the depot where
they were greeted by the Pennsylvania
Athletic association band, and a large
crowd of local people
Later they were moved to the yards
east of Nineteenth street bridge,
where they were stored for the night
Each of the monster engines, which
are larger than any of the engines
which are regularly kept in the Rich
mOnd round house. was in charge of
an engineer from the Baldwin COM
pany. For shipping purposes, the
driving rods were disconnected, and
placed on top of the tank tenders.
Travel Slowly.
Because of the extreme weight of
the train a speed of about 20 miles an
hour is maintained. A greater speed
would be too much for the track to
stand.
The engines represented the last
word in locomotive construction. The
first engines outside of the New York
Central lines to be equipped with
Boosters, auxiliary engines attached
to the rear trailers, that feature of
their equipment attracted a great deal
of attention from local engineers.
The locomotives were backed down
from Fort Wayne, as it was practic-
ally impossible to use a turn table to
get them turned about so that they
could face forward From Richmond
west they will be run forward.
Two additional locomotives were
added to the group that brought the
train into the yards at Richmond, so
that when it passed the station the
train was being pulled by five locomo-
tives and showed by one.
A crowd of approximately 500 per-
sons, grouped in the Pennsylvania sta
ton watched the Prosperity Special
continue its westward journey Satur-
day morning. The train left promptly
at s o'clock.
