new TIRE TREAD
SAVES LIVES

This summer American motorists
will pile up millions of miles OF
touring and sightseeing around the
country. This travelling, according
to Harry o. Book, Division Manager,
U. S. Tire Dealers Corporation, will
be greater than ever, because the
war abroad will prevent the usual
exodus of American tourists to Eu-
rope.
THE wise motoriSt,' Book said,
before setting out on trip, no
matter how extensive or how brief,
will make a special point to see that
his car is equipped with the best
tires-is summer proofed' Tor trou-
ble-free, worry-free motoring.
During the coming weeks, mo-
torists will have the opportunity OF
summer proofing' their cars by
equipping them with the U. S. Royal
Deluxe Tires, available at special
summer prices at all General Petro-
leum service stations and other U.
S. dealers.
THE U. S. Royal Deluxe tire,
found as original equipment on
many of the 1910 cars, is a major
contribution to safer and more conf
Portable motoring.
THE outstanding feature OF TINS
tire is its quick stopping, double
action tread. This is, in reality, a
tread within a tread. First, it has a
perforated six-row. non-skid block
design. and secondly it has an eX-
elusive, quick stopping device which
places on the ground more than 25OO
extra sharp gripping edges. These
edges, or 'grippers', greatly increase
the stopping power, because the IN
stant the car brakes are applied
the 'grippers' go into play pite
through slippery road film' ano
bring the car to a quick, sale
straight line stop. ,
"An added and important feature
of this new principle of tread de-
sign or break action tread, is the
fact that, as the miles pile up, the
gripping edges become more pro-
nounced and, in addition, retain
their keenness by literally sharpen
ing themselves against the pave

SAVING MONEY
BY SPENDING
BY THAD VREELAND
Dist. Manager, General Petroleum

DlSt. MdndBcT, OciicIdi HcIoicuhi
Often the motorist saves money
by spending money. Right now he
saves lot by spending very little,
due to the special offer announced
by local Mobilgas dealers. Suppose
he tries to save by NOT spending
Let's see what happens:
Let us suppose he uses the oil
500 instead of 1000 miles between
drains. He saves CD about $4.10 in
10000 miles, but a repair bill result
ing from improper or inadequate
fabrication of the motor will cost
several times this sum.
Flushing Avoids Repairs
Suppose he tries to use the same
transmission and differential lubri-
cant throughout the year, without
flushing and changing to the rec
commended grades for Winter and
Summer. He saves CD $1.95 to $20O
(cost of one refilD but the over
hauling and repair of rear end or
transmission "a serious threat under
such hazardous practice) will cost
from $50 to $75.
Suppose he neglects to have the
air filter cleaned every 1000 miles
at cost of SOC each time. He
saves (?) $3.50 in 10000 miles (an
average years driving) but engin-
eers declare that dirty air cleaners
cause the loss of at least one mile
to every gallon of gasoline. Loss OF
this extra mile would cost the driver
$3.50 to SIS in the 10000 miles.
Suppose he uses spark plugs two
years instead of one. He saves 90
$3.50 on plugs, but technicians tell
us he loses one to two miles per
gallon after the first year, costing
him from $3.50 to $40.
Bearings Cost Money
Suppose he fails to have wheel
bearings fabricated and inspected
every 5000 miles, which manufac-
turers declare as essential. He saves
only one dollar in 10000 miles, but
one bearing burn-out will cost him
$430 to $3.50, besides loss of time
and discomfort.
Saving co money by putting of
the purchase of new tires. or new
battery or other essentials to safety
and performance has caused many
a wreck, and heavy expenses due tc
procrastination.
So, we conclude the way to save
money on a car is to spend money
at the times changes and replace
mentS should be made. Motorists
may make sure about the safe and
economical operation Of their ma
chimes by using the proof

MonchIovich, Picco,
Jetf and Pendergast
Similar Stars
Colonial Guards Stage
Doefight for Places
In Opening Lineup

The anticipated battle of lines
slated to spotlight the George
Washington-W Wake Forest battle to-
morrow night readily is compre-
heisible when one takes stock of the
Colonials' Mike Monchlovich and
Johnny Picco, and the Deacons'
John Jett and John Pendergast.
Just as Picco plays considerable
end and Monchlovich holds down
center, so do Jett and Pendergast
play the flank and pivot posts, re-
spectively The battle will be in
teresting to watch.
In fact. the similarity between
MOnchloviCh and Pendergast eX-
tends beyond the mere identity of
their positions. Both kick off. and
Pendergast adds the conversion of
extra points as a speciality item in
his repertoire. His kicks have won
two ball games for the Deacons.
In 1888 he kicked two extra points
to give Wake Forest 20-l9 victory
over South Carolina, while in 1889
Marshall College fell victim to Pen
dergast's accurate place-kicking,
losing, 1914.
Have Several Similar Qualities.
Like Monchlovich, Pendergast also
backs up the line on defense, and
just as Iron Mike has proved his
worth as a disgnostician of pass
plays so has Pendergast demon
strated his ability in this respect
with numerous interceptions.
Although Johnny Picco played
an excellent game against West
Virginia last week. he'll have his
hands full tomorrow night trying
to outshine John Jett Standing
s feet 5 inches and weighing 2l5
pounds Jett has been a tower of
strength for the Deacons both
extensively and defensively. On
offense, he's fine blocker, and
pulls out of the line to lead the
interference for such brilliant run
ners as John Polanski, Tony Gallo
vich and Red Mayberry. In fact,
much of the Terrible Trios success
this year has been due greatly to
the blocking they received from Jett.
Plays Strong Offensive Game.
He really is great on offense, get
ting downfield under punts with
speed and is a spectacular pass
receiver His alertnesS is shown
by the fact that he caught a pass
DETECTED bv North Carolina back
aud converted 1t into the Deacons'
fist touchdown against the Tar
Heels. His coach, D. c. Peahead
Walker, thinks Jett is the finest
end in the Southern Conference,
and his pride is justifable, con-
sidering Jett's fine record. However,
G. w. thinks Picco is no slouch
and will outplay Jett. The game
will tell.
Meanwhile. the dog-fght for the
starting guard positions in the
George Washington camp continued
to rage, but on the basis of their
performances in the West Virginia
game Ellis Hall and Stan Ziobro
probably will start the game.
