Women Show Much Care
and Get Good Mileag
Women are the most careful driv
ers of automobiles. That fact was
fairly well demonstrated in competi
tive runs In twenty-eight states.
In the recent big Liberty Bond
Contest of the Maxwell Motor, Sales
Corporation of Detroit, women in all
parts of the natipn obtained mileage
that puts then* among the best driv
ers. Their average mileage on a
gallon of gasoline was a great show
ing for the car that is easily handled.
The average mileage of the women
taking part was 29.08 miles.
The average mileage of all contest
ants was 29.04 miles.
Arizona stands first in the mileage
list. The general average for all con
testants was 39.1 miles. Women made
the most mileage in Kentucky. The

Saxon Dealers Sign
Big Contracts For Year
Fullest confidence through the coun
try that the coming months will see
nothing but increased prosperity for
the nation is indicated by the man
ner in which Saxon dealers from the
coast to coast and gulf to Canada are
contracting for next year's allotment
of Saxon motorcars.
In the last two weeks many big
contracts have been closed with deal
ers in the larger cities of the country
and in a number of other cities which
lie in the heart of the farming region
of the country. Every one of these
dealers has signed for a large num
ber of cars and in manv cases a num
ber ipuch greater than last year.
The Loveland Company, distribu
tors Tor Buffalo, Cleveland and De
troit, has a contract that amounts to
$1,732,000, and the Hathaway Motor
Company, of Kansas City, has signed
for cars to the value of $1,270,500.
Dcs Moines lowa, and Philadelphia's
contracts amount to more than sl,-
000,000, while such smaller cities as
Atlanta, Ga., and Sioux City, lowa,
have contracts that call for cars
valued at more than $500,000.
In addition to these cities many
other dealers have signed for cars in
lots of more than 800 each. Among
them are the dealers at Memphis,
Spokane, Boise, Helena, Syracuse,
Omaha, Neb.; Portland, Ore.; Stock
ton, Cal.; Albany, Cincinnati,Coluni -
bus, Hastings Neb.; Richmond. Va.;
Dayton, Ohio, ami Oklahoma City.
"This year will see the best fall sell
ing season we ever have had,' says R.
C. Getsinger, sales manager of the
Saxon Motor Car Corporation. The
slight decrease, which was felt all
over the country in the last spring,
will be, more than made up by the fall
buyers.
"With the feeling of confidence re
stored in the country and with the
bumper crops which are now practic
ally assured, to say nothing of the
big increase in industrial and manu
facturing enterprises, the public is
going to buy motorcars. Many are
now placing orders that they have
been holding oft on since spring, and
many more are buying because they
are certain that business is going on
as usual.
"I believe that the selective draft
will help the motor selling situation.
With it out of the way a large num
ber of prospective motorcar owners
will be able to select their cars, a
thing they could not do until they
saw whether they were going to be
selected for military service"
"This fall is going to be a big one
in every line, and I brieve that the
best proof of that is' to be found in
the motorcar dealers who are all pre
paring for increased business. They
know the people and conditions and
their opinion may generally be taken
as a pretty good estimate of their own
particular locality."
"Kentucky was 42.2 miles. In the
mammoth contest the women of
Georgia got the lowest average, 20.1
miles.
It was In this state that the big
gest mileage was made by any of the
participants. A man drove his car
51.9 miles.
In a majority of the states having
women owners driving cars in the
one-gallon runs their average mile
age was well above 25 miles.
The average mileage bf the women
drivers in the states in which they
participated in the famous gasoline
economy runs were:
California. 32.4; Connecticut. 27.05;
District of Coluniiba, 25.8; Florida,

Goodrich Tire Testing
Fleet Came Through City
The Atlantic fleet of Goodrich tire
testing motorcars passed through
Harrlsburg this week enroute to
Pittsburgh from Phialdelphia. The
fleet of five cars had on each of
these a complement of Goodrich tires,
manufactured by the B. F. Goodrich
Rubber Company of Akron, Ohio,
which are being thoroughly tested
as to their endurance..
These tire-testing fleets are main
tained throughout the country by the
Goodrich Company and the results de
termining the construction of the dif
ferent makes to be put .out by the big
rubber company. It is the mission of
the drivers of the different cars to
put the tires through all sorts of hard
usage so that they will show, when
they finally give out, the results of
all kinds of weather and road condi
tions. On some of the cars in the
fleet that passed through Harrlsburg
were tires that had seen seven and
eight thousand miles of service^
Tho tourists from Philadelphia
were met at Harrisburg by W. F.
Mower, the local Goodrich represen
tative who guided them through his
territory. This ' plan is followed
throuhgout the entire route. Accom

Ford Accessory Makers
Will Have Own Show
A National Exposition for Ford Ac
cessories. will be held in Chicago
from September 22 to 29 inclusive,
and will appeal to more than a mil
lion motorists of this country, since
it is estimated that approximately
one-half of the 2,600,000 cars now
registered in the United States carry
the Ford nameplate on their radi
ators.
The display of Ford accessories will
be made in the Chicago Coliseum,
scene of the annual automobile shows
that are held each winter in the Il
linois metropolis, and the promoters
are confident that all of the three
hundred exhibition spaces in the col
losal building will be taken by the
manufacturers of fitments designed
to add efficiency and comfort to the
most utilitarian of all American au
tomobiles.
The Ford accessory show in Sep
tember. an innovation this year but
destined to be a fixed event on the
automobile calendar in years to come,
will be the flvst national meeting of
the Ford clan. Scores of manufac
turers, hundreds of Jobbers and
dealers ar\d thousands of owners,
representing every state in the union
and the largest cities In Canada, will
he in attendance. This is an assured
fact. One hundred of the exhibi
tion spaces already have been re
served. Requests for one hundred
thousand complimentary tickets have
been received to date, and invita
tions to wholesale and retail distri
butors. located in such distant states
as California, Washington. Louisiana,
Texas j*rid Florida have been accept
ed.

TIRE SELECTIONS
AS TO STYLES
# I
Firestone Expert Gives His
Views on Various Kinds
of Tires
The application, care and usage of
tires are necessary things to con
sider. but It la essential to good serv
ice thp.t the correct type and size be
adopted. Car construction, power,
lateral strains and traction strains
to the tires must be kept in mind
when deciding upon diameter and
cross section of tire equipment, but
,the weight of the car is probably the
most important thing.
In (-electing the tiree for a car.
consult your tire dealer, who will tell
you the proper size for the weight of
tne car.
Much delay and annoyance can be
avoided, when ordering new tires,
by specifying the style. Regular
clincher cases have stretcliable beads
and are designed for use on regular
clincher (ene piece) rims; they are
sometimes used also on quick detach
able clincher., rims. When used on
regular clincher rims, it is desirable
for sizes including the 4-inch and
above to use clips or stay-bolts to
hold beads securely in rim clinches.
When using regular clincher tires on
quick detachable rims, it is necessary
to use flaps to protect the inner
tubes.
Quick detachable clincher cases
have nonstretchable beads and can be
used only on quick detachable clinch
er rims and the spilt type of clincher
rims. This style of tire should al
ways be equipped with flaps.
Straight side or straight bead cases
have nonstretchable cables imbedded
In the base and are designed only for
quick detachable straight side rims
and split type of straight side rims.
This type should always be equipped
with flaps. Straight side tires are
sometimes used on quick detachable
clincher rims having filler beads In
clinches of rims. This Is not to be
recommended, however, as the base
width ol this style of rim is not suit
able for straight side tires.
Here a word should be said about
the new cord tires Just becoming pop
ular among discriminating buyers.
The greatest enemy of the pneumatic
tire Is internal friction, which gene
rates heat and causes the rubber to
deteriorate. It has been the constant
aim of tire manufacturers, ever since
the pneumatic tire was developed, to
eliminate as much of this friction as
possible. The cord tire is the result.
It has long been realized by tire
engineers that the . continual flexing
of the tire walls as obstructions in
the road are met causes the threads
of the fabric to rub together where
they cross, causing a destructive
heat. The obvio"us way to get rid of
this friction is to use a "fabric" In
which the < threads do not cross. This
Is Just what the engineers do in
making the cord tires. The "fabric"
i{t made of one layer of cords all run
ning in the same direction, each cord
completely surrounded by rubber.
The cords do not touch each other at
any point. In building up the body of
tfie tire, the "fabric" is laid so that
the cords run diagonally around the
tire, the alternate layers, in opposing
directions.
Tires made in this way far outlast
the regular fabric tires and are more
resilient. This latter advantage makes
them the tire to select when speed,
power, economy and comfort are de
sirable.
Oversize tires were primarily de
signed for exceptionally hard service,
but have come Into general favor be
cause of extra strength, easier riding
cushion and longer mileage, in fact,
experienced car owners specify the
oversize tires, in many Instances, for
original equipment of new cars. The
resiliency of larger tires reduces the
traction slippage on rear wheels, adds
to comfort and lessens vibration to
the mechanism of the car.
When oversize tires are placed on
front wheels that were originally
equipped with regular size tires, the
over-ail diameter will be increased
approximately one inch and the
speedometer should be readjusted,
otherwise the mileage recorded will
be less than that actually traveled.
There Is not enough added weight
in oversize tires to affect transmis
sion or differential or make any ob
jectionable 'difference In the power.
The advantages of oversize tires,
without the Inconvenience or expense
of changing wheel equipment, are fea
tures which mean more certainty and
pleasure to motorists.
Following Is a table of oversize
tires:
Regular Straight
Clincher Rim Size Rim
29x3*4 fits 28x3 33x4 fits 32x3%

Importance of Repair Kit
For Tire and Tube Fixing
The automobile tourist who In
sists upon traveling In absolute
comfort, Ihvarlably cfcrries In his
car a more or less complete kit of
repairing equipment with which his
tires and tubes may be flxed up in
time of emergency.
A box of patches, a blow-out boot
and a few valve insldes do not oc
cupy a great deal of space, but
there are occasionally times when
they prove of Immense value.
In discussing this point the Serv
ice Manager of the Fisk Rubber
Company points out a way In which
a motorist who 1s careful to keep
his sundry kit well stocked, effects
a considerable saving on hft tire
expense. He says, that "slow leaks"
one of the most exasperating dif
ficulties which the motorist can en
counter Is more often due to an Im
perfect valve inside than to any
other one cause.
The simple and sure remedy for
such trouble is to supply a new
valve inside which can be accom
plished easily and quickly thus rem
edying the- entire cause. A well
furnished sundry kit is sure to in
clude several small articles of tire
equipment which are bound to re.
suit in a saving to the motorist in
both patience and money.
KINO RIGHT'S lIECOHD IN SPAIN
In neutral Spain an eight-cylinder
King motorcar hap iMlq.d another reo
ord to its long string of achieve
ments. This time according to cable
advice to W. R. Vogeler, manager of
the King's export department a-stock
King car has won the gold medal for
a touring contest held through the
Province of Catalona.
This section of Spain, according to
the King distributor at Barcelona,
who sends the information to Mr.
Vogeler is the most mountainous sec
tion of Spain. The King, with pas
sengers, In a flve-day tour made so
good a score that It received the gold
medal award. The event is history
making in Spain's automobiledom. It
is with much Interest that members
of tho King family in this country
await further details bearing on this
latest King achievement for a stock

German U-Boat Pirates
Force 38 British Sailors,
to Walk Plank to Death
A British Port, Aug. 4. Thirty
eight members of the crow of the
steamship Belgian Prince were
drowned in a most deliberate manner
by the German submarine which sank
her, according to the account given
by survivors of that English vessel
who have reached British shores. The
chief engineer, who many times after
the steamship was torpedoed was
perilously near drowning, gave the
following narrative of his experi
ences:
"About 8 o'clock on Tuesday even
ing. when we were 200 miles off land,
Not just a Six for less money—but a
Six that in dollar for dollar value
compares with cars costing from
S3OO to S4OO more!
The Sixes that compare in value with
the New Willys Six cost around
$1600..
Run over the list of Sixes in the
* SI6OO range and make your own
comparison.,
Anything prettier than this New
Willys Six with its smart new
double cowl body, slanting wind
shield and long, low racy lines?
And then compare performance. 4
The livelier feel of the Willys Six is
due to a new balance we have
worked out between greater power
and sturdier lightweight.
It gives the Willys Six more snap
and life —makes it easier to
handle.
Then there's the saving of S3OO to
S4OO in favor of the Willys Six.

I saw the wake or an approaching
torpedo. The vessel gave a lurch as
she was hit and I was thrown to the
deck among the debris. The vessel
listed heavily and all of us took to the
boats.
"The submarine npproached and
shelled the vessel and then ordered
the small boats alongside the subma
rine. The skipper wan summoned and
taken inside. The others were mus
tered on the deck of the submarine.
The Germans removed the lifebelt and
outergarments of all except eight of
us, smashed the lifeboats with axes,
and then re-entered the submarine
and closed the hatches, leaving us on
deck. The submarine went about two
miles and then submerged.
"I had a lifebelt. Near me was an
apprentice boy of sixteen, shouting
for help. I went to him and held him
up until midnight, but he became un- 1
conscious and died of exposure. At
daylight I saw the Belgian Prince. X
was picked up after eleven hours In
the water by a patrolboat."
The second engineer, who also was
a survivor, succeeded in reaching the
Relglan Prince before she blew up.
The Germans came on board and loot
ed her, he reported. He was In hid

and kept afloat on the wreckage.
