32,43,836 GALLONS
IN AUTO ALCOHOL

The motorists OF the United States
are entitled to 80, 443, $50 gallons of al
cohol during the coming winter
This is not a joke. The American
Automobile Association has learned
that this amount OF alcohol Will be
dispensed to the owners of automo-
biles. That the report is trpe is
youched for by the prohibition unit of
the Treasury Department. Govern
ment sleuths have made a study of
the demands of zero weather and have
come to the conclusion that it will
take more than 32,000,000 gallons of
"non-freeze solution" meaning, of
course, denatured alcohol, to keep the
radiators from freezing.
Even in the dispensatiou OF. the
"non-freeze solution" the prohibition
unit is taking precautions so th;tt no
state will get more than its share. In
the assignment of winter alcohol, New
York state, which has n reputation for
wetness, gets the largest amount.
namely. 3,532, 1877 gallons.
The liquid is dispensed on the basis
Of the number of motor vehiclec and
length of the freezing period. N'yom-
ing and Montana have seven mpnths
of freezing temperature. Michigan,
Minnesota, New Hampshire and Ne
vada have six months, while sixteen
states in the northern tier have five
months Of freezing weather.

80 per cent is used for general COM

as were secured it was shown that

Thomas p. Henry, president Of the
American Automobile association, and
Ernest N. Smith, general manager, left
Vancouver, B. c., Monday, October
8, for their return trip with the new
Cadillac seven-pasenger suburban
with which they recently crossed the

this effect were wired the Cadillac
Motor Car company from Seattle by
Mr.. Henry last Wednesday, according
to the Goad Motor company here.
Mr.. Henry is returning East by
way Of the Yellowstone Trail and
Chicago.
RIGOROUS TRAVEL.
Nearly 10000 miles Of rigorous
travel have already been encountered
BY the car since it left the Cadillac
plant late in August for Washington,
from the Zero Milestone in which
city its trans-contintental run was
officially started.
The return trip East Is being
made by Mr.. Henry over roads ex-
pected to give the Cadillac another
gruelling test. Autumn storms in the
Pacific Northwest and in the North
ern Rockies have left the roads in
bad condition, it is reported here.
Since its arrival at San Francisco,
following its record breaking trip
across the continent, considerable adj
ditional mileage has been put on the
car.
89.4S MILES AN HOUR.
After touring several hundred miles
from city to city in California, Mr..
Henry drove 1t to Seattle. from where
1t has been driven to Vancouver,
awaiting his arrival from Alaska. He
returned to the British Columbian
metropolis a few days ago for a meet
ing with Canadian Automobile As
ISOLATION officials, and is returning
East upon the completion Of that con.
ference.
Additional information regarding
his trip from Washington TO San
hoheisSot IctclFtuf at Tue SdullldC
plant from Mr.. Henry, reveals that
the car averaged 32.4S miles an hour
over the entire distance. Actual run
ming time for the 1927 mile trip was

a tire change necessitating a stop es-
timated at four minutes, the car was
driven from Washington to the Pa

those scheduled. The Three A presi-

at the completion of the trip, and
also upon arrival at Seattle, the car

EASY TO CONTROL CAR.

Gar control and brake efficiency
are daily becoming more important as
traffic increases. Upon these two
factors rest the life of every mo-
torist.
"The development Of balloon tires
and four-wheel brakes practically at
the same time marked the biggest
step ever taken in motor car produc-
ton to provide a high degree of
safety.
"Firestone, which developed the full
size balloon tire. especially designed it
to afford the maximum of safety to
the car owner. These big, flexible
tires yield to the inequalities of the
road, absorbing the obstacles and
clinging to the surface even in the
worst kind of weather.
ROAD CONTACT.
"The added road contact also IN
creases the braking area. Even at
high speeds the car can always be
brought TO a standstill quickly and
without dangerous skidding.
"The tread has n stronger, more
positive action on the ground, due to
the smaller and more numerous nom
skid units. Sliding, slipping or skid
ding is minimized.
Balloons make steering easy. There
is no Juggling and pulling at the wheel
to keep the car on straight course.
From a safety standpoint alone,
balloons have been one of the greatest
contributions TO motoring"

thicker the paper should be or a

pliable sheets.

6. The twine used should be strong

waterproof crayon, ink or stencil and
