TIRE EFFICIENCY MOUNTING HIGH Manufacturers Are Past Hap hazard Stage: Still Im proving Continual development has brought j the automobile to a point of the high- j est efficiency. Now the question has , been asked. "Has the tire kept pace «"ith the automobtle?" "Externally. ; apparently, no." says F. C. Millhoff, "Veneral sales manager of the Miller Rubber Company. But as many revo- 1 lutionarv stages have been made in the pneumatic tire for its betterment, j as in the development of the automo- I bile. Just as self-starters were oon- j sidered an improvement a few years ago, so was the elimination of the' trouble causing premature blowouts j in tires. Just as electric lighting svs- | tems were added for the convenience of the motorist, so the automobile tire was perfected in its nonskidffe- t ture. The watercooled engine is a development that has been worked ; out in the research departments for years. "The preserving of the natural .v.ix i and oil in the cotton fiber while vul canizing. is an achievment equally as important in delivering service and keeping the automobile on an econo mical basis and as efficient aes the wa tercooled engine." continues Millhoff. ! It is natural to assume that with the enormous demand for modern auto mobiles. it has been necessary to pro duce a tire equal to the*added strain imposed upon it and wherever the im provements have taken place, it is on 1 ' the inside of the tire. Years ago me chanical troubles and blowouts offered ■ a fertile field for accessory manufac turers. They thrived on the bad re sults happening from an imperfectly made tire, and at the car owner's ex pense. Careful observation and search have eliminated these old-time • troubles so that the breaking of fabric, cracking of rubber, etc., are no long er heard of along with these changes, the shapes and sizes of tires have been brought to perfection. Xow the body of the tire has been brought to a point where the last remaining , objection has been removed and leaves , us with a tire equal to the call of '.lie multi-cylinder engine. These changes in the automobile tire ] have not been made over night and these improvements have only been worker out by considerable time, de voted to the human equation, and by co-operation in instructive methods, so that the tire as a unit, vulcanized with the latest method of retaining the natural wax and oil in the fabric, delivers the mileage. "In our own factory." continues Millhoff. "the minutest details of t re construction or fects in manufac turing are carefully tabulated until the department has got to a point where the haphazard tire builder can not exist.

Is a film of more than usual Interest to "autoist" movie patrons, due to the spectacular 1 ! appearance of National Speedster con structed specially for Miss Burke. The manner in which Billy Burke , drives her big, powerful National roadster is fascinating. During one scene, where she drives the big ' white car head-on. there always arises from the movie audience the murmur; "Why. It's a National:" The dis tinguished shield-shaped radiator im mediately identities the car Billy Burke drives her roadster at better than a mile-a-minute clip and looks like a miniature princess in th-» big. powerful National, and even mor*- doll-like when she dons palama-lik« jumpers to make repairs, which devel oped to be only the lack of gasoline.

The prediction of last w cember that there would be a large shortage of cars at the opening of the usual Spring rush was verified as practically all the big companies >vere unable to supply the February demand and all have orders for immediate shipment on th#ir books. Production reached the maximum for they winter months in most of the factories, although the parts and ma terial market is still a serious factor. The greatest obstacle for February in the Detroit situation was the shortase of freight cars which was even worse than during the month of January. It was impossible to secure adequate number of regulation automobile box cars and practically every producing company had to resort to the use of flat cars, and even coal cars became popular for automobilj? shipments. "All early predictions which we made for a big winter demand for medium price motorcars have been fulfilled." said Sales Manager J. E. i Fields of the Hupp Motor Car Cor poration. "December was a big month; January was considerablv larger and even with our increased production we could not keep up with the demand of our distributors and dealers. There was no let up in February and altogether we produced more cars than in any other month during February in our history :ind more than in any other month during the winter, we had to carry several, hundred February orders into March, ' which with the March orders on hie make us nearly two hundred cars be hind in our orders for immediate ship ment of the Series 'X' Hupmohile. "To illustrate what a remarkable ' I demand for motorcars of the medium 1 price class has developed during the:* last year the record of the production I and shipment of Hupmobiles is a good criterion. Our production of the Series "N" Hupmobilc for the short month cf February shows 120 per cent, increase over the production of the .Model 'K' in February of 1915. This is not an j inflated production as our marketing of cars all Fall and winter has been | double that of the preceding year. The material market, of course, has held us back and with normal condi !tions we would have been able to sat isfy all distributors during the month of February. Freight cars also held us up and we simply would have been swamped had we not resorted to the use of flat and coal cars. With the opening of the Spring business which has started in the southern ter ritory now and will be in full blast in the northern States in April, manu-! faoturers will not be able to supply' the demand and it is simply a ques tion of how many cars we can turn out." Motorcycle Machine Guns Practical For Bad Roads t The latest engine of quick r destruction to which war-fed inventive genius has given birth is the death dealing. rapid-fire machine gun with . the speedy motorcycle as its mount. It may be that Villa's ears will soon f have to attune themselves to the, , "pfutt-pfutt" of gasoline exhausts in ■' place of the proverbial "clip-clop" of * horses' hoofs when seeking to wiggle out of the contemplated firm and none j f too loverlike embrace of Uncle Sam's , 3 encircling forces. For down at the ' T New Mexico Military Institute. Ser- ■ a geant B. F. I-eonard, of the regular 1 army, has perfected these new war 1 furies, and. owing to nearness to the a Mexican horder and consequent famll- c iaritv with the sort of country that j t rh« United States is traversing. It is • expected that the motorcycle machine' ! gun squad of the institute will be' ' among the earliest of the citizen or ganizations to participate in the Villa istic chilli con carne. o The B. F. Goodrich Company, of Akron. Ohio, which has supplied the solid tire equipment for most of the war trucks now in Mexican service, is also the builder of many of the motor | cycle tires used upon these war-cycles. Driving conditions along the border and in Mexico are as hard as those to he encountered anywhere. Goodrich tires have proved able to keep the troopers provided with dependable transportation facilities, no matter how 'far in the rear the "tire hospitals"; may be. A flat-bed side car is attached to ! these military motorcycles, upon which the guns, which fire 3.700 shots in 10 ; minutes, are mounted. The machines '■an travel at a high rate of speed. Thirty miles an hour over bad roads is a regular menu for them. The guns can be fired while the car Is in motion. They can be trained in any direction, so whether advancing or retiring, tlieir i effectiveness is equally great. Or they can be dismounted in an instant and used as any other machine gun. Thirty | per cent, grades and marshy grounds have not been able to retard the ad vances of these fleet machines.

Mo., with the idea of having the entire company mounted on motorcycles. Among the Harley-Davidson riders who have en listed are many professional and busi nessmen. including bankers. archi tects, members of the city engineer's stair. doctors and professors In the University of Missouri. More motorcycles are used by the People's Gas & Coke Company. Chicago, than by any other corporation in the world. A recent purchase of forty-five Harley-Davidsons brings the total to 117 machines used by that one company in its Cook county service department. In the economy contest conducted by the Tucson Motorcycle Club. T. A. Pugii on a Harley-Davidson won by covering 23 V 2 miles 011 one quart of gasoline. To show that 93 miles per gallon is 1 not extraordinary for a twin cylinder motor he rode "from Nogales. Sonora, Mexico, to Tucson, via Patagonia, a dis tance of 93 miles on less than one gal lon of gasoline. As engineer in charge of a steam roller used In the maintenance of the roads of Sussex county.

OLDEST MACHINE IS IN EXISTENCE "Old Reliable" With 200,000 Miles to Its Credit in Chalmers Factory Announcement of the new Chalmers Slx-30, revives memories of the famous Chalmers So*s of other 'days for thei veterans of the automobile Industry. Still in active service at the Detroit factory with over 100,000 miles ot strenuous service to its credit, "Old Re- i liable, the first Chalmers "30" touring car ever built, shows seemingly no signs of wearing out. During the re-! j cent C halmers sales convention, this : historic car chugged proudly ahead of the half-million dollar procession, made |up of the latest Chalmers nit... els. With 1 ! F. Ed. Spooner at the wheel, the old j car set a pace that kept the rear guard j humping In an effort to keep up with | the parade. Turned out early in 1909, Old Re liable has probably traveled over more sections of the American continent than falls to the lot of the average | globe-trotter. Xcting as pathfinder for the Flag to Flag endurance run from Denver to Mexico City, the first Chal mers left Denver on May Ist, 1909 bound for Rio Grande, Even before that time it had plied up a mileage of over 20.000 miles, having traveled 200 miles per day, for 100 days in an en durance run out of Detroit. With Billy Knlpper at the wheel, Old Reliable started on its 3,300 mile trip to the capital of Mexico through J the deserts and uncharted wilder- ! nesses. Weighing in at the custom i ■ house at Juarez, the Old Reliable tip-! |ped the beam aj 2,400 pounds with an .added passenger and baggage weight i of 2.600 pounds. At that time but one i other car had made the 800 mile trip j from Denver to the Mexican border. Once into Mexico, the tourists'* trou | bles began without delay. Driver J Knlpper shifted gears on tlie old "30" | so often that he wore out the shifting I lever which broke off close to the run ! ning board. Knlpper tore up the run ning board and tied a tire iron to the ' stub of the shifting lever which ho therefore controlled with his foot. i Running out of water In the great ! | Tierra Blanca desert, a stripped gear I put the car out of commission with only a scant supply of water available. | Two of the party started for aid ami | returned after two days rescuing their half-dead companions. The trip was ; Completed without mishap, but lias gone down in automobile history as i one of the most gruelling tests ever given a car. ' "Old Reliable" later took part in the '\\ ashington-to-Boston* Munsey tour, ' the tour from New York to Atlanta l when Ty Cobb acted as pilot »-«id in i numerous other endurance runs. The fact that It is still rendering I excellent service at the Chalmers fac l tory is a tribute to the quality of ma terial and workmanship which has i characterized Chalmers cars from the beginning.
