DODGE BROTHERS
 ADD BODY PLANT

Following recent completion of a vast construction program costing $S,O0O,OO0, Dodge Brothers, Detroit, have broken ground for another hu ge S-story building requiring an addition. al investment of $1,500,000. In this new unit, 440,000 it. of floor space wiR- be provided. It will be devoted largely to closed body work
 The new principle of all-steel clos ed body construction developed by Dodge Brothers has generated rap idly-growing demand for this type of body. The new plant will provide much-needed space for assembly, en- ameling and storage of the all-steel closed bodies. Many large presses and enormous electrically heated enamel ing ovens will be installed, and ware housing space will be provided.
 The announcement of proposed in crease of manufacturing facilities comes as welcome one to Dodge Brothers dealers throughout the coun- try, as the demand for ears has been far in advance of present production.
 The new construction project, on completion, will increase Dodge Bro- thers floor space to a total of 13O acres, and will give employment tc hundreds of additional workmen.

SAYS SSHYSTERS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF CORD
 TIRES REPUTATION

"An interesting phenomenon in the tire world in the past year has been the celerity with which the horde of interruptions tire makers which flood the tire markets with flimsy tires at cut-rate prices has taken advantage of the high reputation made by mak- CTS of standard cord tires and has taken to making so-called cord tires under new and strange names but in which the value is about as ques- tionable as is their discredited fabric brands" declares L: M. Wheeler, To- cal Federal Tire Dealer. "One of the most remarkable and clear cut achievements of reputable makers of tires in the past decade has been the development of the cord tire. It is beyond question that we'll constructed cord tire is distinct ad- vance over a fabric tire. Since the coming of the high grade cord tire motoring has taken on an added pleas ure due to the fact that the improved type of tire has made it possible to ride for months and seasons at time without the, slightest tire trouble.
 Taking advantage of the fact that the name "cord" has meant tire of proved superior quality, men who have no regard for the reputation of the tire industry have gone into the man ufacture of flimsy cord tires and have reape da golden harvest from people who thought that any cord tire was bound to be a good tire.
 "The fact of the matter is that cord tires must now be bought with as much discrimination as any other tires, for tine market is so full of cord tires of uncertain merit that there is no guarantee that a tire has any standing merely because it is called cord.
 "A frabric tire of standard quality can be bought for about the same price and in some cases for less than these off-color cords, and will give much better service. White good cord tire is better than good fabric tire, it should not be forgotten that there are plenty of fabric tires on the mar ket that will make any but the very

TWENTY YEARS AGO BARNEY
 0LDF|ELD WON FIRST AUTO
 RACE IN CAR BUILT BY FORD
Record of Five Miles in 5:26 Two Decades Back Paes in
 Face of Lightning Speed of 1O77 Miles an Hour Today

On September 21 there will be celebrated among automobile fans everywhere, and along many an auto row, the twentieth anniversary of the first automobile race meet ever held. This was at Crosse Point, Mich, and the affair marked an epoch in the au- tomotive industry as well as regis tering the natal day of all speedway classics.
 Two men, today outstanding figures in motordom, figured in the winning of this suspicious event. The winning car was owned and had been built, by Henry Ford. Its driver was Barney Oldfield.
 Barney Oldfield! What a name to conjure with. What memories crowd before the minds terrific roar, the flash of submarine like chassis, a serene but dusty figure gripping the driving wheel, his cigar still poised at the familiar angle!
 With the nearness of the coming anniversary, motor fans will be inter- ested to learn something of the event. ful life history of Barney Oldfield, the wonderful racer, tire m k r and recognized expert in the automo- tive field, for, although he has been five years in retirement as a racer, he is not only a prominent man in automobile racing today, not actively at the wheel, but stands, as well, at the head of the tire company bearing his name-the concern that has pro- duced the tires equiping most of the cars winning the speedway classics of past years.
 Born on a farm near Whuseon, O., in 1878, young Oldfield got the dust of the race track upon his shoes early in his teens. As water boy for rail road gang, and later as an elevator boy,I be saved $65 from his slender earnings and bought bicycle. Enter ing the Ohio State Championship at Canton, he showed his genius for speed even at this early date, by winning two medals and gold watch. A year later he was acknowledged bicycle race champion of Ohio and his services soon were in great demand as a cycle salesman.
 An event that perhaps had farreach- ing effect on the automotive industry as it is today is seen in Barney Old fields connection shortly after 1902, with Henry Ford, then an obscure en-

CANADA FINDS
 LUR|NC MOTOR . TOURISTS PAYS

Here's proof that it pays to adver- tise for the patronage of the motor tourist.
 Returns compiled by the Canadian Department of Customs indicate a 600 per cent increase of motor traffic into Canada. Automobiles entering Cana da for touring purposes during the last calendar year totaled 617,2S5, compared with 93,3O0 for the previous calendar year.
 Of tine total number of cars regis tered in the last calendar year 615,- 074 remained in the Dominion for less that one month and 2211 for more than one but less than six months. The Parks Branch of the Department of the Interior has calculated that this motor traffic represents an eXpendi- ture in Canada of more than $10S,000,- 900, and it is estimated by the same authority that on basis of per cent Improved roads are worth over two billion dollars without taking into ac- count tine service they render Cana dians themselves"
 The Parks Branch estimate of eX- penditure in Canada by motor tourists is based on a stay of seven days for the larger number of cars and thirty days for the smaller. number, while; the daily expenditure for the former is put at $25 and $20 for the latter. \

EXPERT ADDED TO
 MAXWELL FACTORY

Dean E. Baskerville, well-known body designer and engineer, has been added to the staff of the Maxwell Mo tor Corporation according to an an nouncement just issued by L. E. Free man, executive engineer.
 MT. Baskerville, who for the past six years has been body engineer of Dodge Brothers, resigned his office there to act in a similar capacity in the Maxwell organization.
 He brings to the Maxwell corpora tion a complete and valuable know ledge of body designing, construction, and production control. Fourteen years ago MT. Baskerville began his career in the automotive field. Prior to his association with Dodge Brothers he was connected with such leading manufacturers as the Packard Motor Car Company, the Motor Car Supply Co.,, local body builders, the Highland Body Co.,, of Cincinnati, and the Troy Manufacturing Go. of Troy, o. With these organizations he was engaged in both designing and construction work, conceiving and building bodies for cars of practically every price class.
 His utilization with the Maxwell or ganization is considered not only of valuable importance in light of his long record of past achievements, but his coming also permits E. w. Good win, consulting engineer of the Max we'll body division, to give his entire time to creative work in design. MT. Goodwin whose reputation in the high grade motor body field is of long and enviable standing, has been re- sponsible for some of the most con- spicuous advances made in motor body design, both in point of beauty and in soundness of construction.

best cord tires step lively to prove their superiority. The art of building good fabric tires has been progressing along with the art of building good cords and wealth of satisfaction may be got out of a set of high grade fabric tires. A good fabric tire is i'm. measurably better than a poor cord"
 "It's alright to talk about those good old days before the war-go back just as far as you want to-but when you get around to automobiles, and the cost of running them, don't wish for tires of the days gone by"
 , So says Jess Tarr, Goodyear Tire Dealer at Kingman.
 "We can all remember when the horseless carriage took the center of the extremists spotlight and crowd ed even the mothers-in-law and the newlyweds out of first place in the funny pictures. Why, whenever the automobile was shown it had a flat tire. Punctures and blowouts were frequent occurances. The intrepid mo- torist started on a tour with a SUD. ply of inner tubes festooned over the tonneau.
 "I've heard that five hundred miles was more than you could expect from a set of those first tires. It's easy to believe when you remember that 5000 miles would satisfy just few years ago.
 "I'll give full credit to improved road conditions but you've got to hand the prize to tine fellows who have improved the tires, as well.
 "Today, from a cord tire, you get twice the mileaee you did in 1910, and yet my price list shows an average decline of 60 per cent from the costs in 1910. That's true of no other arti- cle of automobile equipment.
 "So go on-talk about the good old days until you mention tires. Then remember that these times right now are the good old days"

MIRRORS WILL PREVENT MANY
 AUTO CRASHES

Accidents on the highways could be greatly decreased by the passage of uniform State Laws requiring every truck to carry mirror, giving view of the road immediately to the rear and by requiring every horse drawn vehicle, as we'll as automobile, to dis play some sort of light when using the roads at night
 This is the opinion of M. O. Eld- ridge, director of roads of the Amer ican Automobile Association Good Roads Board, after making a careful" digest of the traffic laws of all the States of the Union. MT. Eldridge, in a report to the Secretary of Com merce sets forth that thirteen States have laws requiring the mirror on trucks, but that very few have any regulation for horse drawn vehicles. The States requiring mirrors on trucks are Vermont, Washington, California, Connecticut, New York, Indiana, Ken lucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mich igan, Missouri, New Jersey and the District of Columbia ,a@ @....
 "Motor trucks need mirrors as they travel at slower rate of speed than passenger cars and the noise of tine engine completely drowns out, in many instances, the horn of the motorist behind, who is blowing for the road" said MT. Eldridge. "Often they will swerve about the time the passenger car is about to pass and this means an accident. As for the light on a horse drawn vehicle, the need for it is 7 obvious, as motorist, coming up be- hind such vehicle and perhaps blind ed by the headlights of car coming from the oposite direction, cannot see the horse drawn vehicle until he is right on it. I believe that uniform State laws on these two subjects will go far toward decreasing the number of accidents which take daily toll of life and the A. A. A. will do all in its power to aid in obtaining such laws" ...s

TO KATHERINE AND
 BACK WITHOUT CHANGING WAFER

Frank Thomas of the Star Motor Service, agents for the Durant car, has continually contended that the Durant handled itself in very satis- factory manner when it came to hill climbing and it's non-heating attri- butes.
 To prove this contention MT. Thom- as last Sunday drove a Durant to Katherine and back without adding any water. At the end of the trip the radiator was cool enough for him ito lay his cheek on it.
 Following is an account of the trip as given by Mr.: Thomas.
 Sunday being very warm day, we thought it would be a good chance to try the trip to the Katherine, as we had been told that it was impossible for any small car to make the drive out, without boiling. I took the Du- rant, with two passengers, drove to Katherine in one hour and forty-five minutes, stopped about 5 minutes, then started back with heavy tail wind, drove to the summit, in high gear, got out and placed my cheek on the radiator. We did not put a drop of water in the radiator, going and com ing. We made the return trip back in 1 hr. and 55 minutes. This proves conclusively that the Durant. is just a real good car"
