Attendant at Pure Oil
Station Turns Composer
Love Never Came My Way
Written by Youthful
West Virqinian.

A new song isn't news. It is
more newsworthy when a young
musician, far from Tin Pan Alley, y
has his song played by several of
the country's leading orcheStraS.
This is a triumph in itself. But
when the composer fills gasoline
tanks for living, and succeeds in
putting his song across to the of
f1cials of the company for whom he
workS-that is news.
The young man is Norris Guthrie
a service station attendant in
Beckley, w. Va. who sells the prod
ucts of the Pure Oil Company of
Chicago. He sent his song. fully or
chestrated for all instruments, to
his executives. They did not doubt
his ability as a dispenser of gas
oline and oil-but. nonetheless, they
sent his song to Henry Thies, who
directs the Pure Oil orchestra on
that company's program over WLW,
Cincinnati. three times a week. Mr..
ThieS liked it. In fact, he thought
so much of it. he gave it the big
play on recent program. His or
chestra started the song off. The
Tiolene Trio came in, grooming the
refrain. And that's how Love Never
Came My Way" became a hit.

TOP LAST YEAR
Factory Employs 14,316
Persons: Pay Roll,
$1.725.OOO.

A recent report from the Buick
Motor Company headquarters at
Flint, Mich, to w. L. Pavlovski, In
dianapolis division manager, re-
vealed that the company has just
completed its third consecutive
month with pay rolls and employ
ment the highest since 1890. Feb
ruary marked the beginning of this
upward trend, when for the first
time in four years Buick worked
multiple shifts. According to Har-
low H. Curtice, president.
A total of 1876 pesonS are at
work in the Buick factories, approx
mately the same number that were
employed during February, while the
pay roll for March totaled approx
mately $1,725 ,OOO
The company ended March with
a total production of 6,943 cars with
8,746 scheduled for April, an in
crease of % per cent. Retail sales
during March approximately dou-
bled those of the corresponding
month of last year, Mr.. Curtice con-
Guided.
w. F. Hufstader. general sales
manager, revealed that retail de-
liveries of Bucks during the first
ten days of April we're greater than
during any similar period in the
last two years.
Moreover, sales figures reveal that
Buick dealers in 157 cities through
out the United States sold more
cars in the first quarter of this year
than they did in all of 1888.
During this period motorists in
the United States nave purchased
S17510.103 worth of new Buick au-
tomobiles, Mr.. Hufstader asserted.
By investing this huge sum in the
products of the Buick Motor Com
pany the country's automobile buy
ers have placed Buick in sixth posi-
ton in the entire automobile indus
try from the standpoint of sales
volume, he concluded.

ST. LOUIS, May 1.-The aver
age American motor-vehicle user
spent approximately 500 for gaso-
line during 1888, of which $50, or 80
per cent, represented federal and
state gasoline taxes, according to
L. van Eeghen, Shell Petroleum
Corporation vice president in
charge of marketing.
During 1888. twenty-four million
motor vehicles consumed nearly
thirteen and one-half billion gallons
of gasoline, the retail value of
which, including taxes, was $2,227, =
100000" Mr. van Eeghen stated.
Federal and state gasoline taxes
for the same period totaled $716,-
100000.
while the gasoline tax is only
one of several special levies imposed
upon motorists, it represented APP
proXimately 81 per cent of the total
taxes collected from motor vehicle
users last year. which amounted to
100000. These taxes, in turn,
represented II per cent of the ma
tons total tax bill from all sources
federal, state and municipal.
'AS many states, due to economic
conditions, are utilizing their gaSo-
-. - E..

construction and maintenance, but
also for the building of schools,

New Tire Developed to
Meet Requirements Today
Goodyear Product Designed
For Severe Use on
Modern Cars.
Bn Tim Is .SpecinI

AKRON, O., May 2-Announce-
ment of new tire designed to meet
the severe conditions imposed by
modern cars is made by P. w
Litchfield, president of the Good
year Tire and Rubber Company.
The new tire which has been
named CD" has 43 per cent longer
nonskid wear; wider, flatter
tread; Is per cent more nonskid
blocks in the center of the tread for
traction and safety; more than II
per cent wider riding ribs; narrower
grooves and an average of two
pounds more rubber in the tread OF
each tire, Mr.. Litchfield said.
The G-3 is being placed on the
market as the result of the tread
wear problem created by present.
day automobiles, he stated. Mod
ern cars, with smaller wheel diam
eters, higher speed, faster getaway
and more powerful brakes for quick
stops, together with a wider use of
anti-friction surfaces on new high
ways to prevent skidding, are re-
sponsible for somewhat faster
tread wear on all tires during re-
cent years.
Goodyear engineers tackled the
problem when it first came up and
the G-3 is the answer. For months
many designs and compounds were
tried only to be discarded, but final
ly one bearing the factory designa-
ton Go was found to stand up
under the gruelling punishment to
which all were subjected. Further
tests, the most severe ever under
gone by any tire, we're conducted
with our fleet of test cars, whose
drivers we're ordered to speed up to
fifty miles an hour, then jam on
the brakes; speed up to fifty. jam
on the brakes-every two or five
miles. The results were that brakes
and cars wore out, but the Ga
stood up under the severe grind" he
concluded.

HIGHLIGHTS OF AUTOMOTIVE WORLD FOR THE WEEK
ELECTRIC SIGN
OF CHEVROLET
SETS RECORD
Display in Chicago to Be
Illuminated by II, 240
Lamps.

The Chicago skyline will soon be
dominated by the worlds largest
electric sign
Built for Chevrolet Motor Com
pany by Federal Electric Company.
the display is nearly finished and
awaits only final arrangements for
opening ceremonies.
The display is located at the
north end of Grant park. It spans
two driveways and six railroad
tracks. and is said to be the only
electric sign in the world to be
built on the air rights of railroad
company.
Visible for Six Miles
Plainly visible from a distance OF
six miles on land and from vessels
more than ten miles out in Lake
Michigan, flashing lights of the
sign will fall on A Century of
Progress exposition two miles away.
The steel structure, which con-
tains $50 tons of fabricated struc-
tural steel, rises 275 feet from the
ground level and is 153 feet wide.
The distance from the ground to
the bottom of the display proper is
122 feet. The display itself is 153
feet long by 148 feet high.
1t will be illuminated with 1920
lamps and LOO feet of neon tub
ing. Wiring of this display con-
sumed more than twenty-five miles
of insulated cable and the display
itself weighs approximately 10000
pounds. Approximately $4,000 square
feet of porcelain enameled steel was
used on the face of the sign. Eleven
colors of enameled steel were used.
Largest Clock Installed.
Letters in the word Chevrolet"
are fourteen feet high. Letters in
the moving photograph message sign
are thirteen feet high. The revolv-
ing circle of the sign is 100 feet in
diameter.
1t is particularly fitting that on
the worlds largest electrical sign
should be mounted the worlds larg-
est electric clock. The clock, manu-
featured by Telechron, is forty-six
feet square while the minute hand
is twenty-seven feet long and the
hour hand twenty feet long.
The hands weigh 1000 pounds
each despite the fact that they are
constructed entirely of cast alum
mum and duralumin. The cross
section of the hands was made oval
similar to the construction of the
wings of an airplane-and for the
same reason-to lessen wind re-
siStance.

BY JOE corps
BY JOE corps

A slower pace but a faster race
seems to be the speed dish which
will be served at the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway on May 30.
Contradictory as this observation
may appear. motor wise railbirds
freely predict that last years rec
ord-breaking average speed of
104.I62 miles an hour will go by the
boards in the coming 500-mile race
and a faster record hung up-a
probable speed of around LOG or 101
miles an hour
The new fuel limitation rule. re-
stricting cars to forty-five gallons
for the entire run, will contribute
not only to this record, but to the
safety Of the race.
1t requires additional fuel for
high speeds. race car builders point
out. and strategists on the high
powered jobs will lay out more
sharply defined plans of driving
than ever before.
GdftN CAdN way III t'hpN@A
The fast steppers who have
reeled of the early laps heretofore
at terrific averages of lis and ll6
miles an hour to burn up their en-
gines before the race became very
old may be expected to run on a
little saner schedule and conserve
their fuel.
Wild Bill" Cummings qualified
his car in the fastest time last year,
winning the No. l position in the
first row of the starting line with an
average speed for the twenty five
mile test of 1882. His fastest lap
was 1885.
He was away to a nice lead with
the drop of the starting flag and
averaged more than lis miles an
hour for the first twenty-five miles
through the racing traffic of some
forty cars. He was averaging more
than ia at fifty miles and 1872
miles an hour when mechanical
trouble sent him to the pits at the
eighty-mile mark.

We are running exhaustive fuel
tests now to determine what speed
we will attempt to average in the
race" says H. C. CCotton) Henning,
veteran race mechanic, who is pre-
pairing the Boyle Special, which
Cummings drove last year. BY
running an average of several miles
an hour under our top speed, 1
think we will be able to finish The
race on forty-eight gallons and at a
speed better than the winners aver
age last year. We have not yet
determined at what speed we shall
run, but We hope it will be fast
enough to win
The later part of the race this
year holds more promise of thrills
and speed than ever before. At the
400-mile mark drivers will know just
how their gasoline consumption is
working out. Should they get mile
age beyond their expectations and
find themselves within the safety
mark, many may open up in last
minute sprint which may lead to
victory.
1t looks much like Garrison
finish" with the leader determined
within the last hundred miles and
a new track record for the 500
mile run.

augmented by short wave stations to
all other points of the world.
The presentation of the industrial
choir was one of the most unique

history. During the daytime men,
berS of this choir are engaged busily
in turning out automobiles. At
night the roar of machinery. the
beat of power hammers and the I'M

turned into the finely blended sing
ing OF finished chorus.
Ages of these choristers range
from Is to 81. and in many in
stances fathers and sons-all work

sales approach.
The campaign focuses on the new
Sinclair He gasoline and Sinclair
motor oils, now sold throughout
Sinclair territory in tamper- proof
cans. Newspaper coverage extends
to $40 cities and towns throughout
the Sinclair market area.
For the newspaper campaign on
the new H-C gasoline, Sinclair has
dramatization of power not only
of arresting interest to motorist, but
also entirely different from any,
thing heretofore done by the oil in
dustry to demonstrate power in
gasoline The potential energy in
each gallon of H-C is discussed in
terms of foot-pounds of work, and is
visualized in extraordinary feats of
lifting.
The "99 100000 foot-pounds per
gallon of H-C is pictured lifting the
Empire State building IA inches.
HES power, on the basis of single
