REO ARMORED TRUCK
A GIFT TO MILITIA
Typo Is Standardized and Em
bodies Many Ideas for
Modern Warfare.
"While w no folk are net In any
way bellljerent nor eager for any kind
of war orders, either foreign or do
mestic, tievertheleu we have, like many
other patriotic citizens, made a study of
the various Implements of war, and es
pecially such of them as naturally come
within our Immediate sphere,'' says
Horace T, Thomas, chief engineer of the
Heo company, and designer of the ar
stored truck which waa recently pre
sented by the Heo Motor Truck Com
pany to the Michigan State militia, and
delivered at the concentration camp at
Qrayllng laat week.
"Many of our Idea as to what con
stituted an effective fighting machine on
wheels have been radically revised since
the beginning of the European war,"
continues Mr. Thomas, "and this Reo
armored truck Is the result of some of
those revisions.
"In designing It we had In mind sev
eral things, first of which, of course, was
atandardlintlon. It In essential that any
part of such a vehicle may be replace
able at th earliest possible moment and
with the leas possible delay under con
ditions that certainly nre not Ideal. This
armored truck Is therefore mounted on a
standard Model P Ttco truck chassis.
The engine Is the well known 35 horse
power four cylinder Reo motor. Light
ness and speed are other requisites, and
so this Rco war truck, which has room
for four machine a-uns and their opera
tors, beside the chauffeur, weighs only
4,200 pounds complete, and Is capable of
speed up to 35 miles per hour.
"An Interesting feature of this ma
chine Is tlie thinness of the plat with
which It Is armored. Looking at It
auDerflclallv. one would naturally sup
pose that the plate must be at least half
an Inch thick, and therefore b very
heavy. As a matter of fact. In our ex
periments we discovered a peculiar
thing that the modern high velocity
rifle steel coated ball would easily pene
trate a half Inch of case hardened steel.
and, for that matter, much greater
thickness. After experimenting for
some time we conceived the Idea of using
two thin plates of steel separated by an
air apace, and when we did tnat
peculiar phenomenon was witnessed.
'The sam rifle ball shot at a plate a
fraction over an eighth of an Inch thlcK
and separated from another plate by
about three-eighths of an Inch penetrated
the first plate, but was stopped by the
second one. The answer Is simple
the Imnact sralnst the first plate flat
tened the bullet so that It was easily
MtoDDed hv the second one. While cap
able of turning any rifle or machine gun
bullet, thin Reo truck Is very light and
therefore needy.
"In addition to the portholes for the
machine guns there are other portholes
for the use of regular army rifles In
'sniping' and similar operations. Th
protection of the machine gun portholes
permits the operator to 'sweep his tern
tory In a half circle, the porthole cover
ing working on spring hinges. The
driver Is completely protected and yet
able to see his road. The radiator Is so
constructed that bullets, hitting this part
of the truck, are deflected, without
damaging It. A canvas top is used to
protect the gun crew from storms. The
turret Is entered from the rear by a steel
door, which fastens down tightly. A
powerful dirigible electric light permits
the driver to see all points of the road
as well as to detect the enemy from a
distance and In any direction. Light
for operating the guns la also furnished
In thi xam manner.
"For actual warfare conditions steel
Mara mav be added to the wheels to pro
tect the opokes. The curved steel bar
which extends from the radiator to the
point above the driver's head Is de-
Higned for cutting barbed wire en
tanglements."

As evidence of the fact that th de

Overland Company of Toledo, Ohio,
points to the ever Increasing number of
order received from their dealers
abroad. Practically every mall brings
requests from some of these far oft

tional cars to them with all possible

'The only complaint we have to make
la that we cannot get cars fast enough

writes the Overland dealer In Rangoon,
the largest city In Burma. "If we could
get the cars we could dispose of them as
rapidly a some of your big dealers In
the United States.
"Not long ago two ef our salesmen
sold twenty-three Model "75" Overland

"The Burmese favor the small, light

The economical advantages of this
smaller model appeal to them strongly

Heretofore one ef the great sources of
price fluctuation In tires as well as tn

been due to conditions at the source of

garnering or crude rubber by South
American natives they were at the mercy
or an sorts cr climatic and physical con'
dlttons.
No company having Ita rubber sath.
ered from South American sources could
depend with any degree of certitude on
the quantity of rubber that It would be
able to receive from native sources or
upon the delivery of such rubber, inas
much as flcods. disease, blights and many
other conditions entered Into the prob
lem. Six years ago the United States Rub-
oer company began building for the fu
ture. This blc organization purchased
90.000 acves of land In the Island of
Sumatra. Since then It has devoted this
plantation to the cultivation of th best
quality of rubber. To-day MOO, 000 rub-
Dcr trees nave oeen planted. Over 1,000,

SEASONAL TOURING TOPS
FOR ALL KINDS OF WEATHER
Removable Glass Sides, Permanent Top Designs and
Quickly Demountable Convertible Types Pro
vide Two Cars for One Price.
Winter and summer have different
sets of conditions which must be met by
the body manufacturer, and It has been
general practice for the owner of a high
priced chassis to have at least two bod
ies which can be mounted upon the
chassis to provide against these require
ments. To bring the winter and summer body
arrangement Into the reach of the aver
age car owner has been a feat which It
would have been impossible to accom
pllsh without the convertible body Idea. I
states a writer In The Automobile, who I
roes on to say:
Inaugurated at the show a year ago, j
the convertible touring car sedan Idea
has spread rapidly and now many of I
the manufacturers In the field of cars
selling for anywhere between J500 and
$2,000 are providing bodies which have
a removable top that can be put away
for the summer, leaving the car In the
same form as tho ordinary touring de
sign. When the winter body Is tn place the
car resembles a high grade sedan ; It
Is comfortable In tho coldest of weather
and the glass area Is so large that the
view of the occupants Is not cut off to
any appreciable extent. With the regu
lation top and side curtains the car can
not be kept as warm and, owing to the
necessity for providing a largo amount
of cloth or other fabric between the
windows In the side curtains, tho view
Is not very good when theso side cur
tains are tn place. The convertible de
sign provides a car with practically all
glass sides, and one which If desired
could be toured In with perfect comfort
during the summer months.
With tho winter top removed the ordi
nary touring body Is left. The summer
top Is put In position and tho summer
windshield put Into place. To all In
tents and purposes this leaves the ordi
nary stock touring car, which does not
differ In any respect from the car which
the purchaser would have possessed If
he had not purchased the convertible
design.
In fitting these tops to the touring
body Uie top irons, which ordinarily hold
the summer top In position, act as tho
mnln supports. Tho touring bodies aro
so shaped that they conform exactly
to the line of tho removable sedan top,
and when the latter Is In position It
should only bo posniblo to detect the linn
of juncture between tho convertible top
and body by very close ltiepcctlon.

body Is carried out by having the glass

for tho ordinary summer windshield
acting as tho forward supports for the
convertible pedan body wr.cn It Is in
place, eo that fh fitting the closed top
the windshield and summer top ore first
removed and then the top is slipped
down Into the fastenings, which are
made rigid enough to clamp the closed
top tightly Into place. .
The use of tho all season top Is not I
confined to the touruig cars. There are
many two passenger roadsters which are
now provided with this extra tlttlns If
so desired. The prices for theso con
vertible bodies run ah low as S4.5, at
which price tho Saxon Is furnl-lilnc a

this typo should bo Ideal.
Theru Is a irrouinir class of motorists
that desires to travel with a top on the I
car both winter and summer. To suit
these the permanent top design, Known i
as the touring sedan, Is proving to bo j
ery popular. There aro glass tides on
this type of car. which are lowered dl-,
rectly Into tho sides of the body when it
is desired to havu a top which in gen
eral appearance conforms quite closely
to the up to date one person design. This
top does not take away from tho slilo
view nny more than does the ordinal y
summer tourltiK top, but owing to tho
fact that It is permanent and no pro
vision need bo m.idj for raising or
lowering It It Is rigid nnd at the Mime

When the glass sides nre up on a de

Although the demand for motor cars
during the present season has been en
tirely without precedent since the be
ginning of the Industry, and manufac
turers have been straining every pro
duction facility to fill orders, the Appcr-
s'on llrothnrs Automobile Company of
Knkomo. Ind., claims to have booked
one of the most extraordinary orders
ever recorded In motor car annals.
In Kansas City. Mo., the Apperson
roadnplane is distributed by the Urucn-
i Ing Brothers Auto Company, which nn
' nu.tlly sellH more than one-half million
dollars worth of Apperson cars. One
day last week Henry Uruenlng, senior
' member of the Bruenlng Brothers Auto
I Cotimany. suddenly put In Ills appear
I ance at tho office of Sales Manager T.
K. Jarrard of the Apperson Brothers
Automobile Company. Mr. Bruenlng
had come nil tho way from Kansas City
to Knkomo In order that he mlsht make
a personal appeal to secure the Imme
diate delivery of thirty carloads of Ap
person roadaplancs.
Extraordinary appeals merit extraor
. dlnary attention, and that Is Just what
Mr. Bruenlng's appeal received at the
' hands of the Apperson Brothers sales
department. To ten a volume in one
short sentence, the Bruenlng Brothers
Auto Company got their thirty carloads

FOR ENTIRE COUNTRY
More Than a Billion Dollars
to Bo Spent for Building
and Upkeep of Itoads.-
Recent news from Washington to tho
effect that It Is conservatively estimated
1 1,500.000,000 will be expended by the
Federal Government, State governments,
counties and townships during the next
Ave yearn on road construction and
maintenance came as particularly Inter
esting and gratifying Information to of
ficials of the (larford Motor TrucK Com
pany of Lima, Ohio, who for several
years have worked tirelessly to further
tho good roads movement. The Wash
ington Item reports that approximately
1250.000,000 are to be spent annually on
the highways and byways.
"Although It Is true that many good
things in tha way of highway Improve
ment have been accomplished during the
last few years." said II. A. Williams, Jr.,
president of the Oarford Motor Truck
Company, the other day, "It Is equally
truo that road conditions on the whole
ore deplorable. We have received re
ports from 2,565 motor car and motor
truck dealer throughout the country,
who claim thnt the condition of public
rvads In their territory la from 'bad to
fair,' and fair only during dry weather.
Isn't that In Itself an astounding situa
tion? Isn't it ttrange that wo progres
sive and enlightened American people
should allow the very arteries of our
country's transportation and trnvel sys
tem to remain clogged and Impassable?
It's a wonder that tho business of the
country has not become sick mid died eff
long before this.
"Tho reason for this state of affairs Is
that a large majority of the people have
not been educated to know what vast
development lies before them In tho con
struction and maintenance of their roads.
It Is our aim to organize all motor car
and motor truck dealers Into a gigantic
teaching force for road Improvement ed
ucation purposes. The work Is well un
der way and In several localities splendid
results have been accomplished.
"We complain of the high cost of living
and the farmer complains of the high
cost of marketing his product. By our
educational plan we are showing that
farmer how ho can Immediately reduce
tho cost of marketing his product. Tho
United States Board of Agriculture es-
tlmates that the farmers

States nre annually losing $250,000,000
simply because of their Inability tn
