The cylinders showed no perceptible wear, the bear ings were perfectly tight, the rear axle unit was Just as good as when it left the shop. No one would have dreamed.

Packard Has Put 716 1 rucks in U. S. Service The Packard Motor Car Company j has received an order from the warj department for 198 additional Pack-! ard Chainless motor trucks for ser vice with the army op the Mexican i border. This order brings the total of this make of truck purchased by the government since March 20 to 716 ve hicles, representing an investment of more than $2,000,600. With this call for additional motor equipment, the war department has, for the first time, invoked the aicl of the new army bill which became a law on June 3, 1916. This statute provides that in an emergency such as the present one, manufacturers must give precedence over all their other worjc to army orders. The Packard company has prepared special stick ers calling attention to the new law and these will be attached to every piece of correspondence, material re quisition and memorandum having to do with the production of the 198 j specially equipped trucks. The truck division of the big Pack :ard plant Is being operated 2 4 hours 5 daily and shipments of truck trains, i consisting of 33 vehicles each, are go ing forward as rapidly as possible. I Officials of the company report ! that outside cities are beginning to produce volunteers for the companies of drivers and mechanics to operate and care for the trucks in the army | service. The Chicago branch furnish ied 25 men for duty at the border, j Within two days, recently, 106 drivers and mechanics were started southward | in Pullman cars, provided by the gov ! ernment, attached to special trains 1 carrying trucks. Miller Tires Fortified Against Heat Generation Once upon a time, in the days when ! old Dobbin ruled the road, the hot days of summer kindled the desire in | the minds of all the sweltering family i to get out and go—go—go. But alas the heat that made going desirable jalso affected the equine family. While desire shouted "go fast" cau tion said "go slow, drive at a walk and save horseflesh." But now dur ing these sizzling days the whole na tion is speeding over hill and dale, with the cool breezes of 40 miles an hour making old Sol a terror no long er. We are so prone, however, while we speed-er-up, to forget the action go ing on below in our tires. The heat generated by friction is intensified by the heat of the air and unless the fab ! tic in our tires is fortified for the grind, ! something is apt to pop. | Frank B. Bosch, distributor for the j Miller Rubber company, says: 'There is a natural wax or oil contained in the cotton which acts as a natural lubricant and if retained in the fabric of tires will enable them to endure the heat of midsummer. If, how ever, this natural lubricant is cooked out in the process of vulcanization it leaves each fiber of cotton brittle and lifeless, and unable to cope with the added heat of travel." "Miller Tires," says Bosch, "are cur ed by an exclusive process at a low degree of heat which leaves the fab ric In full possession of its life, giv ing wax or oil and the motorist can spin along, care free and confident in the hottest summer weather." j HARRISBITRG TELEGRAPH *63s^^3l^ Roadster $620 Horsepower F.OA.

But still bales of business continued to flood the factory. Now we are shipping 500 of the new cars every single day and are fairly breaking our backs to keep pace with the great demand that now looks as if it never would We anticipated a great success, but we did not look for such a daily avalanche 11 of definite shipping orders.
