Owners of Plea We Guarante 10,000 Mile: Nearly everybody now knows that Motz Cushion Tires are easy-riding ' and trouble-proof, but do you realize the great economy of these tires ? Do you realize that every set of Motz Cushion Tires is guaranteed for 10,000 miles?two years? Do you realize that the upkeep cost on a set of Motz Cushion Tires is practically nothing ? Do you realize that four, not five, of these tires make a complete set. What if the initial cost of Motz Cushion Tires is a trifle more than pneumatics, is not the additional cost paid back ten times over ? They Ride Easy Motorists and motor car makers once thought that only pneumatic tires could be easy riding and resilient, but Motz Cushion Tires upset ail calculations. Thousands now know from experience, from using Motz Cushion Tires, that they were wrong. They know that no pneumatic, except under excessive speed, is more resilient than the Motz. Note the construction of this remarkable tire. Note the double, notched treads lA in picture), which prevent skidding and distribute the weight to the sides. The sides are undercut (see Bi, which allows tree action of slantwise bridges (seeC). These bridges are elastic. They give and yield like the air in a pneumatic tire. Note D in the picture, showing shock-absorbing qualities when tire runs over a stone. Needless to say, Motz Cushion Tires end all punctures and blowouts.

BB JACKSON, I Cor. 14th & R I.W. ny Chicopee Falls Mass of American Sixes" BY HOWARD S. FISX. ACTIVE interest is being displave by the automobile dealers o Washington in the comltug au tomobile show to be held i Convention Hall and the aut carnival which follows it. During th past week many of the representative communicated with their respective fac tories relative to obtaining special car for exhibition put pose during these tw events. The present week probably wil witness a meeting of committees of hot affairs, and from that time on "progress will be the byword. The dates for th auto show are February '? to s and th carnival from February 10 to 13. As an evidence of the interest whirl is being taken in the auto show, t'hair man T. Oliver Prctoey is authority fo the statement tj^at more than one-hal of the floor space for the big event ha been taken and contracts signed foi I This is considered an excellent showing. Most of the time has been spent i arranging the manj details necessary t maks an undertaking of such magnitud a thorough success from every stand point. Water color sketches have been suh iniicod for the decorations of the spa cious hall, all of which are of unique an colorful nature. The successful bidde prpbably will be announced' within th next few days. The local show will fol low the Philadelphia show, and pre - cedes the Baltimore show by two week; Announcement as made yesterday r the appointment of E. A. (Jarlock a secretary of the show. The coming show will be operated o the co-operative basis, as has been th case with former automobile shows hel in Washington. One of the features of the exhibitio will be the musical programs rendere by the I'nited States Marine Band, un der the directorship of Lieut. William 11 Santlemann, thus insuring the highes class of music ever offered at an auto . mobile show in the country. Anothe feature will be "society night,-' which i usually the big night at all shows o this character. The Marine Band con certs will be rendered every afternoo: and evening. Interest is now rampant among th automobile devotees of Washington ove the coming exhibition; the lapse of tim since the last show whetting the appetit of the* public for this season's affaii I Every effort is being made to make tiii j the banner show of the National Capital i and no exoense is 'being snared in tlii I connection. The show, as on forme ! occasions, will open Monday evening j February and for the balance of tli } week from 10 a m., closing at 11 at night * * -f * The Big Show. J Already the all 'round record smashini predicted for the thirteenth national au tomobile show In Grand Central Palac and Madison Square Garden, January 1 to 25, has begun. That the forthcomim exhibition ",n two buildings for tw weeks" will eclipse any similar affai held here or abroad in point of numbe of exhibitors, comprehensiveness and ii the total intrinsic value of goods to b shown is now assured by the list of ex hibitors just issued by the automobil board of trade, under whose auspices th show is to be held. The list already shows that more tha 530 exhibitors will make up the display in the garden and palace. On the garde list there are 43 makers of pleasure ve hides and 272 accessory concerns exhibit ing in this building the first week. Th palace, during the first week, will hav 4<> or more exhibitors of complete pleas ure cars, 25 displays of motor cycles an more than H*> accessory displays. Dui ing part two 25 companies will show com plete commercial vehicles In the garder while the palace will house models o 4! truck manufacturers. In each build ing the majority of the accessory maker will exhibit the entire two weeks. The show is to be staged simultaneous ly in Grand Central Palace and Madiso Square Garden, January 11 to 25, and, a usual, will be divided into a pleasure ca week and commercial vehicle week. * * * * Foreign Car Exhibit. The arrangement whereby the salo of imported cars inaugurates the Amerl can automobile show season of 1W13 is fitting one, for Europe was the blrthplac of the modern motor vehicle and th cradle of its infancy. The salon wi open in New York January 2, in the gran ballroom of the Astor and close on th Uth, the day the big double shot begins simultaneously in Madison Squar Garden and the Grand Central Palace. Although the automobile has its wide* use in this country and the America - built car is beginning to dominate th world's markets, it is still to the foreig t or that u*P tor?k fnr riPtt' in df sign and construction and the introduc tion of novel features. It is this fat that gives unusual interest to the annua exhibition of foreign cars in New York. Practically every standard, feature ii the modern automobile originated abroad The shaft drive and long stroke moto were first used in Kurope, while Eng land gave us the six cylinder car am was first to take up the sliding valv t9}3 LH v - " " *W .

Tiie latest transfer is that of F. \V. Powers, more popularly known as "Wade" Powers, local manager of the g I Washington hrancii id' the Goodyear Tire - and Rubber Company. He returned from e Akron. Ohio, yesterday, where lie was inj. formed of his promotion to he manager of the Philadelphia branch of that company. * He will leave Washington about Decem? lier 15 to assume his new duties. The r Quaker city branch is much larger than r the one here, in fact, is the largest in n the east. Announcement probably will be made tomorrow who his successor will e be. Mr. Powers is one of the most popular 0 men in the tire business in Washington. e Four years ago he came here to be manager of the local branch, having come 11 from St. bonis, Mo., where he was s cashier of that branch. In October, lOlO, n he opened the Baltimore branch, which also came under his management, together with the local branch. August 15 last he moved into the new branch, which .? was constructed for the company at WIG \ lttli street northwest, under his supervi. skm. Previous to that time he was rnan" j ager of the branch at 1?L!G Connecticut avenue. He has a large staff of men under him and has one of the most cum1 plete tire offices in the city. ~ Mr. Powers was horn in St. I.ouis, s which he still claims as his home. He is one of the youngest branch managers in l~ the country and that he has made good is evidenced by the announcement of Ids promotion, which will be received with delight by his many friends here. He is married and will shortly take up his residence with his wife in the Quaker city. n I- motor, the invention of an American who a was forced to go abroad, as were the e Wright brothers, to gain initial j-ecoge nition.

A new carbon preventive and remover lias made its appearance on the market, which gives promise of relieving the motorist from worry, when lie finds that the power of his motor is gradually decreasing as time wears on. It is said that experience lias shown that a motor a< eumu- ' lates euliirl^nt carbon to interfere with j its fuilrst < Pic" ncy after it has run I miles. This ih y l.e almost imperceptible j after cm. .".<> > in les. but the io.-s of power. it is claimed, is there just the same. Every owner of a motor-driven vehicle knows the troubles which arise *Aen carl>on begins to develop in the m?ur. At iirst its effect is imperceptible, but as the carlion accumulates and hardens the force of the explosion is decreased and the i motor power is li stened. It then becomes necessary to send the car to the shop, have the motor torn down and cleaned, : with the resultant loss of time, not to I mention the inconvenience. A carbon preventive and remover known [ as the-"Six Little Yankees," which works while the car is in service, has been put on the market. The makers claim it not only cleans oat the carbon already existing, but- prevents its formation in the future if used every 300 miles. All that is necessary to its use is to run the mo- ! tor until it is hot. then remove a spark ( plug from one cylinder and drop in six of the "Six little Yankees." After waiting about live minutes the motor is again l started, and soot and bad odors will ) herald the disappearance of the carbon. 1 ? ?V iw February 3-8, 1913 jj v:. J I 3D!
