DESPITE NEWNESS, CAR
EASILY CLIMBS HILLS

What it is said is considered an
unusual record for endurance is told
in a letter from Henry Knippenberg.
sales promotion manager for the
Prest-o-lite Company, Indianapolis, to
the Moon Motor Car Company in
which Knippenberg said:
Personally, l have always had q
tendency to discount statements made
by owners of cars due to the fact
that the average human Being does not
feel that his judgment has been wrong
when he purchases a car. On the
other hand, am not TO be classed III
this category. Three days after / got

GREATER VISION.

This has been true for some time
past, but the truth is emphasized now
by the further improvement in the
closed car through the introduction Of
steel construction.
For example, the New-Day Jewett
sedan virtually surrounds its passeng-
ers with glass, its windows and wind
shield being unusually wide because
the steel construction permits the use
of very narrow frames and uprights.
which are nevertheless stronger than
the old-fashioned bulky wood construc-
ton.
Disregarding the rear window Of the
sedan, which is fixed in position, the
total Width of windows and windshield
in the New-Day sedan is II feet,
inches. That alone assures all-round
visibility, and ventilation is increased
in the same ratio.

Engineers Say Proper Tire
Core Will Increase
Mileage.

As an aid in breaking the foreign
rubber monopoly, which it is estimat-
ed, threatens to cost motorists in this
country S660,O00,000 this year. Olds
Motor Works is furnishing all pur-
chasers of Oldsmobiles with instruc-
tions in how to prolong the life Of
their tires. Engineers declare proper
care Of tires will result in % per
cent increase in mileage. according TO
the San Antonio Olds factory branch.
The drive TO break the rubber mo-
nopoly and bring down the price Of
crude rubber is being fostered by Sec
rotary OF Commerce Herbert Hoover
and the National Automobile Cham
Der of Commerce. In less than year
the price Of crude rubber has been
increased more than 800 per cent,
which has increased the cost of a set
of tires as much as $50 to $40, ac-
cording TO hize.
CUT HIGH PRICE.
This extreme high price can be
broken by the concerted action of the
American people in using care in
driving. thereby prolonging the life
of their tires and lessening the he
mand for tire requirements. To aid
in rubber conservation he Odds Motor
Works is affixing to the windshield If
each new Oldsmobile sticker with in
structions for the proper care of
tires.
The instructions, with the exception
of the amount of air pressure, which
varies with different sizes and kinds
Of tires, are applicable to use by all
They are:
Proper care Of tires will lengthen
their life % per cent. In other words,
you can save the price of a new
spare tire by following the common
sense rules listed below:
LENGTHEN LIFE.
Maintain air pressure at 81
pounds. This not only length. Is tire
life but also improves riding com
fort. Test tire pressures once a week
as leaky valves and temperature
changes quickly affect air pressure.
Make repairs promptly. "a stitch
in time saves nine) and prompt at
tention TO cuts in the rubber will
make hundreds of tire miles.
Use brakes gently. Good drivers
apply brakes suddenly only in emer-
yencies. Stop in time to avoid neccs-
'ity Of locking wheels and skiddins
Tres.
Watch curves and curbs. Slow
Town at corners and save side strain
IN your tires. Avoid striking curb
)r scraping sides of tires on curb
when parking and save rubber.
Following the above rules requires
tut a little forethought and will pay
Tot only in tire saving but also in
iafer, more comfortable riding and
onger service from your car"

The latest models Of automobiles
Illustrate one of the paradoxes of the
industry, !. e., that as closed car body
construction advances. the more near
ly does it equal the open car in out
look and airiness. says Barry Motor
Company, Paige-Jewett distributors.
In the days of the first enclosed
cars. the buyer had to consider the
choice between two evils-whether to
taken an open car and suffer all win
ter (if he drove at ALL. or to take
a closed car and put up with its stuff
ness all summer.
Today, this factor never need be
considered, for the closed car can much
more nearly equal the open car in ven
tilation and clear vision than the open
car can be made to approximate the
closed car in winter comfort and all
weather protection.

ECONOMIES

Establishing what is recognized to
be a record for economy, performance
and endurance alt in one, stock
model Willys-Knight touring car re-.
Gently completed a spectacular and
continuous 96-hour grind through the
steep and rugged San Bernardino
mountains and achieved some remark
able results, reports the San Antonio
Overland company.
During the four-day run, the WHY'S
Knight established a gasoline mileage
of slightly more than Is miles to the
gallon, despite the fact that more than
40 per cent Of the going was over
loose rock and rough dirt roads, in
Guiding grades mounting TO 5000 feet
above sea level.
COVERS 1857 MILES.
In this grind which carried the two
drivers continuously through day and
night. the car traversed 1857 miles of
formidable mountain climbing that
proved the capacity q the car TO stand
abuse and exertion.
Bcrnardino, continued through the
Redlands. up Mil Creek road and
Clark's Lake after passing through
the rugged Santa Ana Canyon to Big
Bear Lake with an elevation Of ap-
proximately $500 feet where the trail
wound about the south shore of the |
lake across the new government for
est road to Arrowhead Lake, thence |
along the crest Of the San Bernardino |
Mountains through Crestline and
Waterman Canyon down through the
valley. The elevation during the run |
varied from 1000 TO 5000 feet above
sea level, but the carburetor adjust
ment Of the Willys-Knight was not |
changed to meet the changes in alti-
tude.
REAL ECONOMY.
While the run was not staked TO
set any speed record for the course,
final tabulation by newspaper men
who served as judges Of the run es-
tablished that the car had averaged
10 miles an hour during the four days
and nights, said to have been a rec
ord for such mountainous travel.
More than 200 miles TO the quart Of
oil was the mark hung up by this
Willys-knight which was pilOted by
two employees Of the factory branch
in Los Angeles.
Throughout the entire course con-
trolls were established where fuel was
replenished and drivers changed for
the next grind, time limit being es-
tablished for the distance between
controls. During the entire 1861
miles the engine was not allowed 10
stop, a remarkable feature when con-
.idering the fact that but twice dur
ny the entire 96-hour grind did the
register the equivalent Of
summer heat despite the gruellingI
,radLs.
LITTLE WATER.
More remarkable was the addition
II only four quarts Of water to the
radiator supply during the entirei
irive. newspapers claiming that most
airs boil vigorously over the tortuous
rades and bairpin turns OF the course.

Inique test Of demonstrating the motor |

FOOTBALL TAIL IS
 NOT WAGGING D0G
College Presidents Give View on
 Whites Article

Indianapolis. Dec. P-College football is mot tail and dog propo- sition." says Dr. Louis B. Hopkins. newly inaugurated president of Wabash college in a symposium of college presidents views on William Allen Whites assertion that the foot ball tail is wagging the college dog, which the Indianapolis Star publish ed this morning.
 Undergraduates constitute far less than ten per cent of the great crowds at football games and prob ably not two per cent of the read ing public" the Wabash president says. "One might as we'll contend that football is wagging the Amer ican business world. We increase in terest in the classroom. not by cur tailing distracting influences like football but only by making the class room more interesting"
 Several of the college presidents saw grave dangers in continuance of the rise of football to heights of popularity never conceived decade ago. Football is running away with itself" Dr. P. L. Powell of Frank lin college said, and Dr. L. H. Mur- lin of Depau university chased the growth of football interest as ''un- fortunate"
 William Allen White appears to have employed his well known skill in the gentle art of exaggeratton for commendable ends" was the com- ment of Edward c. Elliott of Pur- due university. 'but the tail appears to wag the dog only to those who don't know the real dog"
 Tt Is one of the most serious problems confronting educational authorities" was Robert J. Aley's view. He is president of Butler col lege. Less pessimistic, however, was Dr. William Lowe Bryan of Indiana university. Intercollegiate athlet- ics are mixture of good and evil, he said, "but the good far outweighs the evil"
