FOR SMALL GAR
j Willys Figures Small Cars
bave Their Original Cost
in 50,000 Miles.
The tendency on the part of automo
bile buyers to favor small, light cars
this year Is said to be due not so much
to the fact that the small car costs less
than the oik, heavy machine at the
start, but that in the long run it is a
much more economical investment
According to John N. Willys, presl
dent of the Willys-Overland company,
the small car virtually pays for itself
when figured on a mileage basis and
compared with the upkeep and main-
icuiuit;i. wsi or. a pig car
,..'-It JB an "tabllahed fact that the
life of an automobile Is not dependent
upon its size or cost," says Mr Willvs.
The modern mtoor rar of todav is
built to give long service, regardless
of whether its Initial cost runs Into
nunareas or tnoiwands of dollars. In
other words, the majority of can
average about the same distance In the
final count whether they be large or
small
Granting this to be true, let us take
as a basis to work upon a certain
number of miles say 50,W0 This fig
ure does not represent the life of n,
car, but It will answer the purpose for
comparing a few of the different main
tenance costs between the small and
large models.
Me Cur erds Hip Tire.
"The big car, owing to Its extra
weight, requires larger tires than are
necessary for a smaller, lighter ma
chine. The actual ize of the tires
depends on the car itself, but to give
a concrete example I will take a 34x4
inch size for the big car and a 31x4
Inch for the smaller car. assuming
that, under ordinary usage, a set of
tires will last for approximately ".000
miles, nine new sets would be required
by the owner In 50,000 miles of drlv ing.
The difference in cost Is not very
much, approximately $9 on each set,
but it represents a saving of J81 to the
owner of the smaller machine
"The smaller car also Is more eco
nomical in its consumption of gasoline.
In fact, I believe the unusual demand
for the smaller type of car Is due to a
large extent to the present high price
of fuel In a number of cities gasoline
prices have soared to 25 cents a gallon
and fpn higher. But no matter what
the price is, the cost of fuel consump
tion is proportionately less with a small
car than with a big one.
Gnnollne Consumption.
"The average small car will travel
about 20 miles on a gallon of gasoline
and the larger cars from 10 to 15.
Keeping to our original figure of 50,
imiO miles, this means that the small
mr will consume 2500 gallons of gaso
line while the big car Is using ap
proximately 34(7 gallons. Tho differ
ence of 900 gallons, even when figured
at 1 cents per gallon, amounts to a
saving of $198 for the smaller car.
"The value of the larger car also
depreciates much more rapidly than
the smaller, medium priced vehicle. At
the end of 50,000 miles a car that orig
inally sold for $200 or 1300 more than
another, will bring, perhaps $50 more
in the second hand market.

safe to say that the smaller car

SIDE OUTLET CARBURETER IS
FEATURE OF 1916 DESIGN
One of the conspicuous carbureter trends
of the 1116 season Is the greater use of ths
side outlet carbureter that design which fits
direct to the side of the cj Under castlnB,
thereby eliminating the Intake manifold
This design has been made possible by the
very general use of the vacuum-ftravlty fuel
feed, which allows of the carbureter. belnE

gravity feed, and higher than was custom
ary with air pressure feed Better carbure

as the cored passages in the cylinder casting
are equivalent to a water Jacketed manifold,

eliminated The side outlet carbureter Is
cheaper from a car making standpoint, and

Russia Solves the Problem
of Using Its Vast Sup
ply of Vodka,
Russia has solved two of her most
pressing probloms, tho disposal of 140.
000,000 gallons of vodka stored up
since the decree forbidding Its use,
and the obtaining of rubber by put
ting them together in the hands of
scientists. The Itusslan-Amerlcan
Journal of Commerce says that for the
first time a practical method of mak
ing synthetic rubber has been worked
out.
The ministry of finance, since the
passing of the .prohibition bill, has had
a special department, devoted to the
study of the disposal of alcohol
throughout Russia, and It was this de
partment which 'mado careful investi
gations of the many experiments con
ducted for the purpose of determining
the possibilities of converting alcohol
Into industrial products Some of
these, such as the making of varnishes,
etc. may still be carried on, but these
sink Into insignificance as compared
with the new discovery
One of the greatest problems of all
European nations has been to obtain
rubber, especially for war automobile
tires, so it was w itli more than keen in
terest that experts watched the Investi
gations conducted by the famous che
mist Ostromisslenski of Moscow. In the
making of rubber with aid of alcohol.
Upon careful examination it was found,
not only that his experiments were
absolutely successful, but that tho rub
ber could be manufactured from cer
tain vegetable oils, such as hemp seed
oil and rape eeed oil, and that the
vodka could be used to procure the
large amount of, alcohol needed as a
solvent m the process
The department of financ-. Keenly
alive of the possibilities In this dlscov
eiy. which not only solves the problem
of the disposal of spirits, but also re
liTes the famine in rubber, has decided
to begin the manufacture of the rubber
by this process as soon as satisfactory
arrangements can bo mado with the ln-
ventor. An experimental factory next
to one of the manv wine warcnouses
Is now in course of construction
Synthetic or artificial rubber h-vs
been a dream of chemists for many
vears, as the demand upon the natural
article have been enormous, both for
automobile and electrical industries.
It has never been deemed successful.
Six months ago. It was announced In
Germany that a synthetic rubber had
been produced, and that while It was
of poorer grade, still could be used.
The details of the Russian process
have not been mado public but It is
one of the variations of the produc
tion made by the oxidation, or blowing
of heavv- vigetable oils The re
ports from the Moscow chemist tell
of a rubber equal, if not superior, to
the natural article
AUTOMOBILE

By BURTON
HE coming of the automobile is
I largely responsib.e for one of the
greatest developments of oar na-
tion, in one Important particular; that
is more life out of doors more, health
more happiness and thus, prosperltj.
It is difficult to express the value that
the automobile has been from the health
point of view to tens of thousands of
people, who have been brought back
from sickness to strength by this out
door life. Its use for pleasure and for
health, however, as important as these
are, does not measure anything; like ltd
full value. If it vvere only a pleasure
vehicle. Its importance would be lim
ited to a comparatively few, as related
to the total population If it were lim
ited to its uea to those who need out
door life for health. It would still fall
short of broadly affecting; the whole
country.
The automobile Is essentially a great
time saver by which man may almost
double, not only the quality, but the
volume of his work, by his ability to
move quickly from piae to place, rue
farmer of vears ago took from two to
thret hours to drive his tired work
horses to town. Now he makes the trip,
with the minimum of preparation, in -0
minutes in his motor cor and saves both
time and money and gains the pleasure.
It is his necessity today The doctor in
his automobile now calls on three times
as many patients as formerly. Retting
to his emergency calls in record time.
He cannot afford to be without one,
winter or summer. The business man
gains health and time in motoring to
and from his work, and uses the horse
less wagons to deliver his goods to cus
tomers. Government Uses Autos.
The government now uses motor cars
tn deliver its mails, and their use is
steadilj Increasing on Ii. F. D. routes.
Traveling men in many sections find
them infinitely preferable to the rail
road for rtai hing their trade. So it is
nith everv business and professional
mm Today his automobllo Is a nec
essary adjunct and why not. It Is the
modern method of locomotion fast,
sure and lnv igorating, a necessity and
a luxurj combined
As an influence of vast importance on
other industries the motor car maker is
a considerable factor. Very few appear
to appreciate tne extent or tnis influ
ence For example, the coach building
industry, which was. before the intro
duction of motor cars, practically mori
btuid, is now one of the most flourish
ing in the countrv, and not only givo
employment to thousands of workmen
in the motor car factories where the
bodies are made on the premises, but
has also given a new lease of life to
such of tho old carriage builders as ar.s
making motor car body building a
branch of their business. It has also
wonderfully stimulated many branches
of the steel .trade, the rubber Industry,
the electrical industry, the manufacture
of lamps and many other accessory
ttades far too numerous to mention.
Compels Good Streets.
In fact this automobile enterprise
is becoming a very great factor in the
nvillzatlon of the whole world. In
the first place. It is compelling Uie con
struction of good streets and good
roads, essential to the highest devel
opment of civilization, to the best con
ditions of life, to the largest prosperity
on farm, factory and city. If it accom
plished nothing else than the wide
spread interest that it has in this di
rection, its value would be far beyond
the money Invested in the ownership of
automobiles. But it is doing more. It is
making possible the utilization of theso
roads and streets by thousands who
otherwise would never be able to get
vny benefit from either for business or
health or pleasure

Answer rirst, wo should say the

and tho emergency brake should also
be applied and released alternately so
that any tendencv to locking of the

lowing out of this method requires
some nerve on tho part of the driver,

Speed of Solid TIfes.
Question: I am considering the pur
chase of a one-tone truck, and am un
decided whether to specify solid or
pneumatic tires for tho rear wheels.
Can you help me out on this?
Answer Solid tires are used for
heavy loads, while pneumatic tires nre
found on the high-speed, lighter de
livery wagons. As a rule, the solid
tire should not be used on a light truck
which will be driven, on the average,
at a speed In excess of 14 or 15 miles
per hour Above this speed, the lack
of resiliency of the solid tire Is ap
parent, not only to the driver and the
load being hauled, but to the motor
and other mechanism of tho car as
well.

importance of this, however, 1b not so

Ine In Universal.
Those who have not studied the sta
tistics of the auto trade and seen for
themselves how the motor car Is
spieadlng all over the land hardly yet
realize how universal is its use. Pessi
mists have described It as an extrava
gance, as a useless expenditure, as an
unnecessary evil, and, considered from
the narrow vision of many of the unin
formed. It doubtless appears to deserve
then riticism Hut it is no longer a
luxurv nor a fad It Is now to many
thousands and to many lines of busi
ni ss and professions a necessity. Just
as the telephone, once a luxury, is now
in universal demand. The automobile
is making history and making it far
more rapidly than did the railroad in
the first 10 or 20 years of its operation.
It is destined to acomplish as much for
