Much Spec uLation As To What Buick WH Anno unce

There fs c deep ana fmpenetrable mystery around Buick headquarters, tho Birmingham Motor company. What will Buick dof ia the question everyone is asking. Some announce msnt of tremendous import is in the sir. hut as to what it is Don Dren- neu snaintains a silence besides which the Sphinx was as garrulous as 8 faIk1nG machine. Mr. Drennen, how ever. has this to say; Buick has al- ways been . leader. and you may rest assured that this announcement will demonstrate that leadership in Ia manner befitting the prestige of Buick"
 The only news to be given out around the Birmingham Motor last night was that this announcement would be made about August 1, and In the meantime speculation Is rife as to what 1t means Of course. there is lot of gossip up and down auto row, but no one seems to have any authentic Information, and those in position to really know authorita- lively say watch the papers,"
 The Buick motor car has always enjoyed splendid popularity in Bir- mingham and the latest news in re- gard to any changes that are to be mad9 will be watched for with con suming interest by Buick owners and prospective Buick buyers, In fact, already much interest has been aroused and many phone calls have been received by the Birmingham Motor asking, What will Buick do?' but no enlighteninE answer is given to such inquiries.

Aduises Buyers How To
 Determine Dependabilify

lection in correctness of design, goodness of material and accuracy of workmanship.
 By correctness of design I refer to engineering perfection. in the con- struction of the car itself which com pines theory and practIcability to such an extent that the car is rem dered positively immune from those road mishaps which will surely and effectually, in time, destroy q less well built automobile. From the standpoint of materials. I would urge every buyer to carefully , examine the steel, the leather, the wood and the other raw materials from which 6 car is fabricated. In { feriority in any one of these respects must seriously affect the cars de- portability.
 1 But, perhaps most important of 1 all of the qualifications for depend ability--conceding that design and materials are satisfactory--is the ac- curacy and precision entering into the shop practice which converts the raw materials into the finished f product.
 And. in this respect. we feel that splendid as Peerless manufacturing methods have always been, our ad- i, mi ni StraJlon mas been dDfe 10 Ina hS them even more admirable.
 Tn the first place, the Peerless | plant provided us with mechanical equipment as complete and efficient as could be built. Its shop practices I and limits of measurements were cer- tain of producing motor cars of fine quality.
 our duty was simply to impose even closer limits of manufacturing | tolerance which would insure even more dependability in the product.
 Today, there are number of our operations in which we permit a toll erance of no more than five ten- l thousandths of an inch. Some are even closer and an ever increasing number have one e-thousandth of an inch as their limit of variation.
 Tt Is our opinion that effective &C., euracy in any piece of machinery can be assured only In so far as it. is carried out through each individual part.
 Each adjustment must depend for perfect functioning on the one pre- ceding it. Anything short of com pleteness in any part renders the as- sembled unit imperfect and made quate.
 That Is why an automobile is not dependable, in our understanding of the word, when accuracy is slighted or precision neglected"

How to determine the extent of de- portability in motor car Is a ques- ton that doubtlessly puzzles more prospective automobile buyers than any other element involved in the purchase.
 Nevertheless. no less distin- Euished authority than R. H. Collins. head of the Peerless Motor Car com pany, insists that the solution of tho problem is comparatively simple if the buyer puts some time and study Into those characteristics which es- tablish the thing known as depend ability.
 "The dependable character of any automobile" he told a group of Peer less distributors in Cleveland the other day, "may be accurately judged by the degree of it's approximate per

GOODYEAR OFFERS
 NEW CUSHION TIRE


 The last word in cushion tires Is the way Weldon Mourten Rubber company, Goodyear service station dealer, describes the allweather tread cushion tires recently placed upon the market by the Goodyear company.
 The new tire has behind it six years development work in cushion tires and with the adoption of the famous afl- weather tread design it becomes Is our judgment the most efficient type of its type on the market"
 A strong feature of the new cushion is of course it's resiliency, that is it's ability to absorb the shocks of the road and permit loads to be carried at good speed without undue jars.
 "There are three sources of resil- iency in the tire! First, 1t has an interior cavity. out of sight on the wheel, running circumferentially around the rim at the base of the tire If you were to saw the tire in two and examine the cross sec ton, you would find the side walls as a pair of legs. that bent outward as an obstacle was struck. immedi- ately afterwards resuming their natural position.
 "The second source of resiliency is the set of holes Slong the side of the tire permitting it to flex and bend under load, giving added cush- ioning.
 l''The third source comes from the all-weather tread design. Under a load the rubber flows from the dia- mond projections into the open spaces surrounding them, lessenine vibration and increasing resiliency.
 Tn each case also these three radiate heat and hence add to it's long life, since internal heat Is a great source of disintegration oi tires.
 "The other great advantage, the addition of the all-weather tread to the cushion tire, Is of course in giv- ing it maximum traction and ground gripping quality. It Is also pow erful factor in preventing skiddins or sliding of the tire.
 "The remarkable cushioning prop critics of the tire have highly fav- orable effect also on durability. In stead of grinding over obstacles like an ordinary tire, the A-W-l cushion literally absorbs them, thus  lessening tread wear and causing the tire to wear down slowly and evenly.
 "Cushion tires are becoming popu- lar all around equipment for one ton up to three and one-half ton trucks and as front wheel equipment ur to and including five-ton trucks.
 "They are particularly advantage ous for delivery trucks operating al moderate speeds; for trucks that haul fragile or semi fragile loads over rough uneven surfaces; for utility trucks that handle pick UT loads on a quick trip basis. and foi front wheels of heavy trucks in gen eral city work.
 The an-weather tread cushions are made up in sizes ranging iron S2x4 to 36x7.

PAIGE PERFORMS
 REMARKABLY WELL
6-66 Owner Makes Fast Run From Philadelphia to Pitts
 burg and Return

Az tho result of . friendly oss0us- mzon. q remarkable run wRz recently made from Philadelphia to Pittsburg 6 and return by a Paige owner in his @wn car. The car, a 6-e6 Lakewood, with two passengers. made the en- tire trip of 607 miles in high gear in 19 hours, 30 minutea, averaging S1.1 miles per hour. Forty gallons of gasoline were consumed, the car averaging slightly bebter than 16 miles to the gallon.
 The actual running time to Pitts burg was 9h hours. Two hundred miles of this half of the run was made through driving rain. The re- turn trip was made In 1V hours, seven of which were made after nightfall and through the mountains. A very bad detour of 2S miles had to be negotiated on both legs of the drive. Anyone familiar with the steep grade and bad roads In the mountain section between Philade,- phia and Pittsburg will appreciat te just what this performance means.

The amount of air which should he kept at all times in automobile tires has been carefully worked out on scientific lines, and these pressures should be adhered to religiously in order to obtain the highest mileage,
 says the United States Tire company If the air pressure In a tire is too low, damage to the tire is sure to re- suit. Other causes of premature fail ures of tires are; Improperly fitting rims. which cause rim cutting, thus
 exposing the fabric to moisture and
 chafing; misalignment of wheels, which causes excessive tread abra
 sion; running over curbs, deep ruts, stones. nails and glass, which causes
 breaks and cuts In the tread and car cass; sudden use of the brakes, which causes tread abrasion and separation: turning corners at high speed which
 causes excessive strain on the fabric and later a rupture; over-heating. which causes separation; and sun ex- posture, which causes checking and cracking of the rubber surface.

A HeIninx Hint.

When a rim with tire is found to be difficult to place on the wheel ramaining partly on and partly off, a slight springing of the rim Is all that is needed. This may be ac- complished by placing the head of a jack against the hub of the wheel and the base of the jacl; on the protruding portion of the rim. Thus sprung a little, a blow from the hammer will slide the rim over the edge of the wheel. In most cases of this kind the mere operation of the jack will force the rim over the wheel.

Longevity to Tire Chains.

Shift the cross links oe tire chains from time to time. That is, move
 them so that they do not depend on
 the same link of the main chain all the time. The wear and tear on the tire chain centers at the links to which the cross chains are at- tached, and for this reason moving the latter occasionally spreads the wear.

D|STEEL NVOKES
 PATENT RIGHTS Pioneer Steel Wheel Builder Starts Clarifying
 Litigation

Deroit, July ss.--Carifyink of the entire atmosphere in tho disc wheel situation is predicted as tho result of patent suit. filed in tho United States district court at Chi cago by the Detroit Pressed Steel company, builders of Disteei wheels.
 Defendants are Forsythe Brothers company of Harvey, III.
 Claim for infringement in this case is based on the following United States patents, issued to Alden L. Putnam:
 United States letters patent No. 1,255,s2s, issued February 12, 1916.
 United States letters patent No. 1,2SO,927, Issued October 1.191S.
 Design patent No. 57,264, issued
 Design patent No. 57ss1. issued May 10, 1921.
 Reissue letters patent No. 15,35S, issued May 16, 1922.
 All of the above patents are owned and controlled by the De- trolt Pressed Steel company. who. in addition, own about 50 other disc wheel patents, and have large number of other patents pending.
 To the inner circle of the auto motive industry, news of the suit brings no surprise, as 1t has been understood for some time that the Disteel people were only waiting for propitious time for them to as- sert the exclusive rights to which their patents are believed to entite them.
