VALUE OF BALLOON
TIRES IS PROVED

Although experiments with bal.
loon, or low pressure, tires have been
under way for a number of years,
it is only within the last two years
that they have been on the market.
Prejudice had to be broken down by
actual tests and demonstrati tons to
convince the user Of regular cord
tires that the low pressures were
equally satisfactory.
Nationwide tests were made and
thousands of tires placed on automo-
hiles personally owned and operated.
The performances of these tires were
carefully observed by Miller tire engi-
nesrs who recalled them after they
had been tried under all conditions.
Balloons are now known to be
capable of doing all the work done
b the regular tires, as well as many
: things the latter will not do. The
ere and comfort given by the low
pressure tires, together with their
service under unusual operating con-
dit ons. make them popular.
Incidentally, the testing now done
on balloons is by commercial cars
which will travel 500 or more miles
week. Low pressure tires have
reached such a degree OF perfection
that only vehicles capable OF giving
unusually hard tests are used and
on these the work done by the tires
is carefully noted by Miller engineers
who keep complete record Of the
data.

These are stretches of road where,
from the surroundings, the motorist
believes the state law permits him to
travel at a higher rate of speed than
some purely local legislation actually
does.
Where 1t takes on the character of
q nuisance, automobile clubs, par
ticularly, have done much to abolish
1t. But even where 1t is not. 1t Is
still unfair to the we'll intentioned,
but uninformed automobile owners.
Hundreds of thousands OF dollars
have been collected through such
methods from those who had no in
tention of violating the law. The out
come of such a law is that the auto

LARGE ADVANCE IN
DODGE CAR SALES

Dodge Brothers remarkable in-
crease in production and sales con-
tinues without interruption, an official
statement from the factory discloses.
Actual retail deliveries by dealers
during February were within a few
cars of 5000, which Is an increase
CT 23.1 per cent over deliveries in. Feb
ruary, 1924.
Every week in February showed n
material increase over the preceding
week and the first week of March
likewise exceeded the last week Of
February.
While dealers stocks are excep-
tionally low, the factory is turning
out cars in such volume that 1t is
hoped to meet practically the entire
current demand. Production for the
first week of March was over 1000
cars day.
Dodge Brothers sales for 1924 In
creased more than 25 per cent over
1923. in the face of an IL per cent
decline in the industry as whole.
These facts considered with the pres
ent continued increase. bespeak a

1000 Daily Output
of Hudson-Essex
Biggest Six-Cylinder Business
in Automobile Industry
Reported.

One thousand cars a day. the big
gest six.cylinder business in the au-
tomobile industry, are now being
built in the Hudson Essex factories in
Detroit. according To word received
by r. IL. Dawson, Hudson-Essex dis
tributor.
Ninety per cent of this immense
business is in the popular Hudson
Essex coaches. il was declared. The
coach type of body was originated by
the Hudson organization three years
ago, and this concern now has had
the experience of building nearly a
quarter of a million of them.
This great volume of business
which has brought Hudson Essex into
an indisputable six-cylinder leader
ship for the whole industry" said Mr..
Dawson. has been steady growth
over the period in which the coach
has been built There probably has
never been a single body type in the
whole history of the business which
has had such n phenomenal success.
Now the popularity has become
such that Hudson Essex is the big
gest builder of six-cylinder ears in
the world. When you consider that
some automobile men tried to ridi-
cule the coach when 1t was first in
troduced, the success of HudsonE
sex must be considered most re
markable one. This spring there will
undoubtedly be shortage of these
popular cars, because our winter bus
iness has been so consistently good
that we have been unable to build
up a reserve supply OF them. 1t Is
fortunate indeed that the Hudson
Essex factory has been able TO reach
this high mark OF production. or the
shortage would be even more drastic.

Maryland, where the automobile
owner Is given complete information
regarding the established speed laws.
Today in certain parts of Maryland
easily readable signs have been
erected along the highways inform
ing the driver the maximum speed.
These signs, orange with large black
letters give the automobile owner
who desires to obey the law the
necessary information at glance.
They convey it in spirit of friendli-
ness that cannot help but add to the
revenue that the surrounding terri
tory can reasonably expect to receive

standard six duplex phaeton has just
cut an hour and Il minutes off the
former record, established a little less
than a year ago.

But there is scarcely 10 miles OF road
way that may be called paved.

resentatives of the FL Paso Herald.
UP a road never before traversed n
high gear by any automobile.
At 3:39 that same afternoon the car
pulled up before the Western Union
office In Santa Fe. The seal on the
gearshift was still unbroken. In the
interval the car had made spurts at
60 miles an hour over the desert
which, in this instance, means not
only shifting sand. but hummocks,
rocks and brush grown, rough, raw
land.
On this record run. anxiety was felt
about the ability OF the car to CON
quer Labajarda hill, to climb which
a few years ago on any gear was con
sidered a feat. No car ever had made
it in high gear. ButFvaughan reports
that 1T was accomplished with none
