FORECAST ADOPTION
OF BALLOONS FOR
COMMERCIAL CARS

Widespread adoption of balloon tirei
for commercial car use is forecast by
tire engineers, who have been givins
close attention in the past half dozen
years to the growing truck and bus
field.
High speed buses and trucks gen.
orally will adopt the balloon tire as
the idea for that service, in the opin-
ion Of Miller engineers, who already
have produced ballons suitable for this
class Of service.
"In the past half dozen years." said
n prominent tire official, "the ten
doncy in manufacturing auto tires has
been toward larger and larger sectional
diametcrs. Balloons found almost IN
slant favor for passenger cars. Now
commercial car operators are realizing
their value"
The early auto tire was stiff and
clumsy, it is pointed out. 1t then was
believed that thick, heavy sidewalks
were necessary to sustain the load.
But later developments showed that
the real necessity in making tires was
to provide greater air space-grcater
cushioning from the shocks OF the road.
Gradually the so-called high pressure
tires were made lighter and more flex-
ible. The extreme pressures common
ten years ago were found not necessary
and more flexible tire that would not
be destroyed by continual bending de-
velopcd. The balloon tire was a con-
tinuancc of that principle TO an I'M
usual extent.
The tendency in truck and bus tires
in the past few years has followed al
most a parallel course, tire men claim
Commercial ear tires are being made
more flexible aud with greater air
space. Many trucks and buses now
are being equipped with balloon tires.
They are proving successful to n re-
extent, it has been found.
And, tire men say, their popularity
every day is becoming more pro
nounced.

NOVEMBER CAR
SHIPMENTS
TRIPLE
Hupp Demand Three Times
as Great Last Month
as Year Ago.

November shipments of Hupmobiles
were approximately three times those
of November, 1924, reports o. G.
Hutchinson. general sales manager
Of the Hupp Motor Car Corporation,
in commenting on the demand that
has arisen for the new Hupmobile Six,
and a demand which is continuing Mt
.record-breaking levels for the COM
pany's eight cylinder car, according
to the Citizens Auto company.
The largest possible production Of
skies and virtual capacity on Fights
is the company's schedule for the re-
mainder Of the year.
ALREADY OvERSOLD.
I'VE are already oversold on ou-
new six cylinder car and will continue
to be oversold the rest of the year."
Mr.. Hutchinson said. More than
that, there is already visible evil
dence of demand for both skies and
eights next year which will necessitate
the largest schedules for building cars
to meet 1t that We have ever known.
ave are already turning out every
six 1t Is possible for us to manufac-
ture at this time.
OUTPUT RISING.
"Our output is steadily rising to-
ward capacity, but despite work at
night and even Saturday afternoons
and Sundays, we are unable fully to
meet the tremendous market that car
is creating"
Hupp closed the month of October
with shipments which were 81 per
cent larger than those for October,
1924. Its list Of untitled orders on
October 81 exceeded 100000 worth
of Fights and sixes-one of the larg-
est lists of untitled orders it has
ever enjoyed. November shipments
will comfortably exceed those for Oc-
tober, Mr.. Hutchinson declares.

President John N. WHY'S was on
hand to take part in the festivities
which were held in municipal pier and
bore all the markings of a real derby
day, designated as "Willys Day" III

tory is shown by the registration fig
urcs in Illinois which rates WHY'S
Overland third in the number of cars
registered in the state and with the
same position in Cook County.
BIG SALES INCREASE.
More than 11,0J0 automobiles were
delivered to Chicago dealers in the

o,u Spys Cunning Revealed Identity of Red Chief in Britain

Rothstein and in a few moments we
were ushered into his library where
he was waiting. He was man Of
about SO. short and stocky and with
iron-gray hair. He had small, gray
suspicious eyes and most of his front
teeth were missing.
Although the interior Of the home
was almost lavish, his personal ap
pearance was actuall., slovenly. He
looked like a low-class London cal
driver. He had small, short beard
which was matted, and his hair was
mussed. His clothes were stained and
looked as if they had never been
pressed. His collar was soiled.
To me this was not a great sur.
prise. Outsiders might have been
amazed to find such a man as the
head of the Soviet system in a great
country like England, but to me this
was not even a mild surprise. l

brains who were slovenly in their ap-
pearance that / looked through all of
his appearance of outward disorder to
see what kind of a mind / was meet
ing. The eyes told me. They told me
that he was shrewd and capable AMI
that there vas a really powerful
brain under that unkempt hair.
Here l was at last, face to face
with the very man of all others IN
England that Scotland Yard wanted
to know about.
Let me say a word about Roth
stein himself at this point. He was
Russian who had escaped from Rus
STA about 80 years before to avoid
being sent to Siberia for revolutionary
activities. He had established him
self as a literary man in England AMI
had written on various topics, but
was recognized as political writer
and a writer on economies. He had
been a personal friend of Lenin when
the latter lived in London and oth!r
parts of Europe during his exile.

Arriving in London, I reported al
once at Scotland Yard.
/ I had a conference with Colonel
Carter and soon Sir Basil came in.
He shook my hand cordially.
"We have looked up Rothstein," he
said. "We find you are correct. He
is the head of the soviet movement
here. We have done nothing about
him yet. He is under constant sur
vigilance, however, and we know eve
erything he is doing now.

Those cold gray eyes looked right
through me. He did not ask for ere
Gentials, apparently being satisfied that
Miss Pankhurst had brought me.
ASKS MANY QUESTIONS.
He volunteered nothing, but asked
me great many questions about the
Soviet movement in the United States.
He questioned me rapidly and I an
swered rapidly.
Then he began asking me about
Martens and about his stand with the
rank and file. He particularly want
ed to know if the entire organization
was with Martens or if parts of it
were against him. The point as to in
ternal dissension seemed to interest
him most and / answered him frank
ly as best / could.
The talk drifted into generalities
after / took the position that l want
ed him to see and know me and that
we probably would have much business
In common later on. Then l left.
Rothstein told me he would have
letter for me to take back to Mar
tens and that he would send it to me.
However. he did not send it and IN
this occasion l returned empty handed
to New York. But l was to be much
luckier later on.
l sent cable to Henry W. Marsh,
the wealthy capitalist in New York
City. that / was returning on the
Mauretania. You will recall that
when I was employed for the Scotland
Yard service in New York by Sir Rob-
ert Nathan he had told me to take or
ders from Mr.. Marsh.

When we arrived in New York har-
Dor. j. E. Hoover of the bureau of in
vestigation of the Department of JUS
tlce, now assistant attorney general of
the United States, whom have men
toned before, boarded the Mauretania
before We locked and hunted me up at
once.
He presented to me a letter Of in
PRODUCTION from Mr.. Marsh. He had
with him Mortimer, Davis. a special
agent of the Department of Justice.
/ related to Mr.. Hoover all of what
had happened. He listened intently
to my narrative of my visits with Sir
Basil. Miss Pankhurst, Souvarine and
Rothstein and then asked me to get in
touch with him within a couple of days
because Mr.. Marsh wanted to see me
before 1 made any further plans.

face. So far as Souvarine was con-
cerned he didn't realize that he had
just presented Scotland Yard with the
most important piece of information
it wanted. So far as he could have
seen from my face, 1 was not the
least bit interested in the name OF
Rothstein. But inside I was seething
with excitement.
i didn't want to waste another in
slant on Souvarine. l wanted to get
away and hurry back to England. /
wanted TO report 70 Sir Basil and
then catch the Mauretania and be
ready fer new adventures. That was
it. Adventure, 1t was in the blood.
The more 1 had of it the more. I want
ed. Here, the biggest job Scotland
Yard had, was only child's play to me.
The excitement of success elated me.
And l didn't overlook that remark
about the diamonds, because through
il Scotland Yard was later able TO
trace Rothstein's connections and SUP
stantiate what 1 soon had to say about
Rothstein.
MYSTERY CLEARS
OF course, the instant the name Of
Rothstein was mentioned the whole
thing began to clear for me. That is,
I knew at least who Rothstein was.
although / would have been shocked
right then and there if ! had known
what Rothstein was doing at that mo-
ment. I knew him TO be one Of the
revolutionary leaders and that he had

stein. a brilliant and very secretive
man, but he was more Of the scholarly
type and I would not have thought Of
him as the active, operating head Of
