HKIWMPBg miIUILtPH ECONOMY PROVED BY USE OF GIANT PNEUMATIC TIRE Heavy - duty, Fast - delivery Truck Men Hear of Recent Gas Saving Test ■ v. • >i." ■ -v. - mm J. H. DUTCH Keeping an ear to the ground may not be among the classical sports, but if the ear belongs to a gas-sav ing "fan" and it is grounded for news of that game there is sport in the pose which often has real com pensation, as any motor truck expert will affirm. It is something which the wise In the automobile truck trade are rec ommending to-day to all gas-saving enthusiasts who are interested par ticularly in heavy-duty fast-deliv ery trucks. To these the compen sation takes the form of news re garding results of recent gasoline consumption tests with trucks us ing giant pneumatic and s solid Ures. "A proved saving of twelve and one-half per cent, in gas and oil for trucks with pneumatic equip ment has been announced by our factory engineers," said J.-H. Dutch, local Firestone branch manager, yesterday. "Two trucks, one with giant pneumatic equipment and the other with solid rubber tires, op erated over a distance of '3,500 miles, under the same conditions, in making the test. The trucks were of the same make and capacity, with equal loads. "Gasoline and oil expense is, of course, a variable item. It is diffi cult to estimate because of local conditions, grades and curves In the road over which a truck is operated. For instance, a truck equipped witli pneumatic tires will show a 25 per cent, saving over solids In gas and oil consumption when on level roads and coasting on down grades. On the other hand, trucks chang ed over from solid to pneumatic tires will have from 10 to 15 per cent, less power on hills—due to larger wheel diameter, unless gear ratio is changed, and hence will con sume more gasoline on up grades; but the greater diameter of wheels makes it possible to run at greater speed without increasing the engine speed. Gear ratio may be changed at nominal cost, but the change is not necessary in order to do satis factory work. "All these varying conditions were met In the 3,500 mile test I have referred to. It strikes an average for gas and oil saving, giving per sons interested In operation figures per ton mile some food for thought "They should figure this saving In conjunction with other remark able savings possible through pneu matic equipment. Due to greater protection to the track, cost of re pairs will drop seventy per cent., and the life of the truck will he doubled. Operating radius increases. One truck has been known to do the work of two formerly operated on solid tires. "Jtti* giant pnanmsttq aord tire the Firestone Company is manufac turing is constructed to save the truck, the load, the fuel, and to add speed. By its use the saving jin cost of operation per ton mile ; will quickly offset the greater ini i tial cost of pneumatic equipment." Senate Will Try to Repeal Daylight Saving Law Over Wilson Veto Washington, Aug. 2.—The Senate yesterday decided to have the pro posal for repeal of the daylight sav ing law again run the gauntlet of President Wilson's veto.

Seventh St. 1414 Susquehanna St. Federick's Garage. r OFFICE Penn-Harris Taxi Company, Stand Penn-Harris HotcL * Oakland agency in this city In the * latter part of March, the Dauphin Motor Car Company, under the able management of Ed C. Allen, a well known local automobile man, has *1 been forging ahead In high gear speed. Up until the fifteenth of last month when shipments of cars were slowed up, due to the enormous de mand for Oaklands all over tho country, this company had taken orders for and placed somewhere In the neighborhood of sixty cars of ' all the different models, touring cars, Sedans and roadsters. When first opening up for busl- ness, the office of the company was located at 11 South Third street, and the service station at 125 Cherry street It was only in the . course of a couple of months that their original service station proved inadequate to take care of the in creasing number of Oakland own ers. On July 1 they leased the for mer service station of the Buick Agency at 28 South River avenue, which is at least three times the size of their old service station. This added space allowed them to carry a complete stock of parts for all the Oakland models as well as * to turn out repair work quicker and more satisfactorily. At the present time, the ship ments of Oakland cars are not up to normal. July shipments did not meet the demand by a large num ber of cars and those coming in now are being placed with customers whose orders were taken during July. Mr. Allen is optimistic abouc future shipments, but expects to get enough cars during the ensuing month to meet all demands for im mediate deliveries, it is expected that a number of closed cars will come in during August to meet tho • demand for fall and winter cars. * " 0
