USE OF MOTOR BUS
SHOWS HUGE GAIN
Report Reveals 80 Per Cent
Increase in Service Dur
ing Past Year.

A gain of 80 per cent during the last
year is shown in the number of motor
busses in use in the United States. &C
cording to Edward F. Loomis, secre-
tary of the motor truck committee of
the National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce. At the beginning of 1925.
Mr. LoomiS states, there were GO ,42o
buses In use as compared with an
estimate of 90, 1925 a year ago. made
after a survey by the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce.
Operations of bus common carriers
now cover 232 $40 miles of route,
while non-common carrier bus opera
lions reach over 334 ,401 miles. The
number of busses operated by common
carriers on January ! of this year is
estimated at 1880. while last year it
was "a 100. Non-carrier operations ac-
count for 81 1925 busseS, as against
1895 a year ago.
Most of the Interstate lines operate
in the New England States, New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania. New York City
Is the center of a network of these
lines to New Jersey. Pennsylvania,
Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode
Island cities.
Outstanding in the years develop
of busses used by electric railways and
their subsidiaries. The entrance OF
steam railroads into the bus field was
of special significance. Further gains
are expected in this group during the
current year.
In the common carrier field the
largest gain occurred in the number of
busseS used in school service, the in
crease amounting to approximately
100 per cent. a large advance in the
number of sightseeing and touring
busses is indicated in the census.
Bus chassis manufactured and de-
livered during 1925 totaled II, 1866, the
light duty class furnishing the great
est number. namely 6,602 vehicles. or
SO per cent. Next in line was the
heavy duty class. with a total of 6.l01
vehicles, representing 80 per cent.
while the medium-duty class, with a
total of 4,725, furnished q per cent

mes are on the way for auto

Hard times are on the way for auto
mobile tires.
Summer with it's sun baked high
ways greatly increases tire tread
wear, according to rubber experts
who have learned that the rate OF
wear may be as much as doubled
with a temperature rise from 40 to sc
degrees above zero.
During Winter, wet or SnoW-cov-
cred roads reduce tread wear TO a
markedly low point. Cool, wet
Spring and Autumn days also bring
little damage to the contact surface
of automobile tires.
Rubber experts have observed a
vast difference in the rate of wear
in tires that have been driven from
u temperate zone to a warmer eli
mate When driven back to a cooler
zone again, lessening in tread dam
age Immediately is noticeable.
Furthermore. most wear occurs
when the car is being driven at high
speeds, the difference being most
noticeable at speeds over 40 miles an
hour. Longest service comes from
tires on cars driven by careful driv-
erS.
Differences In the quality of the
highway, which have been blamed
for a lot of premature wear on tires,
are blamed for good reasons. it is
declared. Various kinds of road sur
faces make a large difference in
tread wear. In arriving at these
findings engineers observed tire per-
Torrance in several million miles of
tests.
Wear has been minimized in the
fiat tread tire, which is built To the
shape it takes on the road under
load. The tread, being built fiat
shape, gives better traction because
it presents greater road surface. Ard
since it is built so that loads do not
produce excessive distortion, there IS
an even. slow wear. which permits
the tire to give it's full potential mile

Braking Helps Brakes.

Those who witness the feats of
quick stopping performed by metro
politan taxi drivers, and who have
specialized as to how such control is
possible with the twowheel variety
of brakes, are beginning to see that
brakes are helped by being used. Up
to a certain point it is an axiom of
motoring that the more frequently
the brakes are used the more efficient
they will be. The secret of the rule
lies in the word frequently" Brakes
that are allowed to drag or that are
half engaged while the car is running
down long grades will not provide the
quickest type of stopping. That is
because the Innings become polished.
The taxi driver brakes frequently, but
each application of the brakes is of
short duration. The brake Innings be-
come rough and the fractional values
are raised to point where the best
stopping is had.

Car Owners Should Give Me.
chanic Enough Time to
Do Work.

Car owners who do not give the re-
pair men enough time to do his work
well are guilty of negligence. accord
ing to the conclusions reached by the
service committee of the Washington
Automotive Trade Association IN a
report Just completed.
The local dealers point to the de-
mand for cheap and incomplete repair
work as evidence of a guilt that
starts before the driver has even
cranked the engine.
Speeding has been extended to the
repair shop and service station" the
dealers declare. Motorists want
Jobs performed in the crudest way
and without sufficient time to insure
good work.
Progressive service establishments
have installed time saving methods
and are endeavoring to conduct their
business in q way that will obyiate
the delays that are evidences of lack
of management, but 50 far there have
been no improvements which enable a
workman to do a good Job in the time
it requires to do poor one. Cheap
repair work Is menace, and that
menace begins with the mistaken no.
ton that this Is the day and age
when cars can be serviced by magic.
Good management has enabled
many local dealers to place their
shops on an efficient basis where
owners are taken care of promptly.
Much has been accomplished to elimi-
nate the annoyance of delay in get
ting attention and in starting the car
on its round of regeneration. but the
work itself is not subject to as much
speeding up as the average motorist
imagines. There still is need for
more thinking than action, and think
ing takes time.
AS with all varieties OF speeding
nothing Is gained. Rather there is a
loss. when the final returns are avail

will be watched with interest.
The motorist himself, however, will
have something to say about it. 1t
is no secret to the careful buyer that
delivered prices must include an I'M
loading charge, which may run high
or low, depending upon conditions.
Knowing both factory and delivered
prices, the motorist has been able to
figure just how much he is being
charged for having his car brought to
his door. He is fearful lest a general
adoption of the delivered price ar

Car Bath Temperatures.

The temperature of the water used
for washing the car is a more impor-
tant factor in paint preservation than
most motorists imagine. a careful
balance must be made between water
temperature and that of the car S
body.
Pouring cold water on a hot hood
is Just as bad, for instance, as using
hot water on cold hood. 1t would
be better to wash a hot hood with
hot water but no owner need take
any such risk if he has the patience
to wait until the car body comes back
to a normal temperature.
In Winter bodies are often so cold
when put on the washstand they actu-
ally steam when cold water is poured
over them.
1t is well to remember that the
temperature of the water used for
washing should always be a little be
low that of the car body.
