Motor raring Is organlied thin year for
"rat tlma because of the existenc e of
i" National Motor Contest circuit, whic h
. will give a rertaln number of the meets of
the, year. Including all the Important ones
The circuit will be made a complete) suc
cess because of the train of twenty cam
ued to bear tho racing machine, their
driver and mechanlci, and all equipment,
from one contest ground to tba other.
And because of the National circuit there
will be no question as to the performances
of the cars which are entered In It. The
exact figures on the performances of cars,
fires, magnetos and other accessories will
oe kept up from day to day and where
thera Is a car entered either as "stock" or
non-stock." Its performance will be duly
recorded. In this way the public will be
abta to know precisely what any make of
car la doing and will know It absolutely and
without any chance of falsifying the rec
ords or laying claim to performances which
hava not been actually accomplished by
the machines In question.
Juat aa the constitution of the base ball
leagues has put the sport beyond any ques
tion of unfairness or crooked dealing, the
National circuit will make even surer the
work of the contest board of the American
Automobile assoc iation.
Because of the Increasing number of
meets which will be under the direct per
sonal supervision of officials of great ex
perience. It will be possible to keep a closed
watch on ail the care and their drivers.
It will no longer be a case of wandering
about the country and reporting by wire
from all aorta of obscure point" more than
dubious records, as has been done In some
case heretofore. The records of cars In
grand circuit meets will be ao thoroughly
authenticated that the public will be able to
put absolute reliance upon them.
Automobile racing will have Ita followers
who will read the "dope" on what their
particular favorites are doing with all the
eagerness of the base ball fan or the man
who follows college athletics. The forma
tion of the National circuit. In other words,
will add thousands to the list of those al
ready Interested In motor racing and. be
cause of their Interest, the automobile in
dustry as a whole will be benefited.
The engineering department of the Bulck
Motor company already has three models
of Its 1913 line out or) the road for their
"breaking up" testa.' They are dally In the
ha4a of the worst car killers In captivity.
The Hudson Bay company, which Is
known as one of the greatest trading firms
present day motor cars were thought of,
la to place In service a number of light
delivery wagons. They are twenty-horsepower,
Franklin model O-l's of 1,000 pounds
capacity and are to be used In the city of
Winnipeg. In Calgary. Winnipeg and other
CansHan cities, where the thermometer
reaches a low point. Franklin air-cooled
motors have been successfully operated.
The company will receive three of the cars
within a short time. .
It Is an tneontestlbla fact that tires Ao
last four times aa long outside of New
York City as they do In New York City.
This makes It possible to assert with
firmness that there must be something
about the streets of New York that is
costing tho cltlxens thereof who ride in
automobiles the sum of (20.475,000 In ad
dition to all the other taxes they pa'. In
cluding the moneys that they are assessed
for the paving of streets and the main
tenance thereof.
At the present there are some evolutions
tn the automobile Industry which are being
watched with great Interest. Time will
show how far tbe expectations set upon
the silent motor, the live axle and the
double) Ignition system, which are now
being fostered, are justified. Time will
Velso show to what extent and how soon
the automobile will displace horses and
atlroads; there Is a desperate fight going
on between tbe various competitors, and
Cher Is no doubt that, on the whole, the
automobile will be the victor. Automobile
manufacturers and railroad men are per
haps more conscious of the fight than are
the operators of horse-drawn vehicles;
nevertheless, the latter fight their battle,
obeying the same law of nature as the
nip no, the red man and the kangaroo.

A convention of technical men from all
over the United States Is being held this
week at the Packard factory In Detroit.
The purpose of this gathering Is to enable
experts connected with dealers' establish
ments to familiarise, themselves with the
mechanical changea In the 1913 cars.
Reports from practically every dealer in
motor oars and automobile accessories In
Omaha indicate that during the last week
trade conditions Mlvb made good progress
ever any similar period In the past few
months. Buyers have been plentiful and a
Urge number of bona fide sales have been
recorded.
Especially tnopsful have been the reports
that have come to toe Omaha distributing
offices regarding trade conditions In the
towns In ths contiguous territory. Favor
able weather conditions have seemingly
stimulated the market that was becoming
sluggish, sad numerous sales were rec
orded. The majority of the cars sent out
of the city the last week were to farmer
customers.
On feature that has characterized the
Omaha automobile murkel especially In
the last few davs Is the lack of cars .to
adequately supply the trade. In a number
of Instances loral dealers have been forced
to wire In to the factories for Immediate
shipments, and with the prospect that be
cause of the rush at this season of the
yesr their demands will not be satisfied.
Diminished stocks on account of the un
usual rush are being Varried In many Instances.
With the first four months of I'll not yet
finished, gossip of the ISIS models of motor
-rs Is commencing to float around tbs
lutomoblla offices and sales rooms. While
announcements of the new cars for ths
market have been few, the features In the
loklgn and construction have been sent
tut by many of the head offices to local
lealers, no radical departures are expected
n the lines of the 1S12 cars.

sengers en the car, the thirteen ball tossers

desk. When Mr. Russell relinquished this
position last fall to make his home In South

the automobile game and would settle down
to farming, but the purr of the Franklin j
motor had made such a strong Impression I
on him that It would not shake off, hence
he has returned to his old love and In the
future will be found at his desk as busy
snd good natured as In ths past. Mr. Rus.

automobile men of Omaha, having been
connected with the celling and repair de
partment of the Industry since Its earliest
day. His many friends will be glad to learn
of his return to ths city.

Under Any Other Name You
Must Wait Two Years for This Car
'pHERE are well-known cars that are admitted copies of other
makers. Every successful design is imitated by less clever manufacturers.
Howard E. Coffin before designing the HUDSON "33" had produced four eminently successful
cars. Those csrs todsy serve ss models for many msnufscturers. In motor and chassis design,
there era many cars under as many different names that aro precisely like some, of his earlier
designs. I
npHE HUDSON "33" is his latest and greatest car. It is simple
and is the result of his experience with all of his previous models. Already
there are makers who sre preparing to bring out under their names, cars that are exact copies.
But two years is tbe shortest time in which they can produce their copies and that is why yea
must wait two years to obtain such a car as the HUDSON "33" under any other name.
QUR allotment of HUDSON "33s" is limited. Only a few are to be
had in this territory. When they are gone no more orders can be accepted.
Come see this car. It accurately represents the typt of automobile thst will be generally shown
by many makers in 1913. After you have examined it, then decide if you want a car tw jrsarg
in advanc: But you must place your order early to a sssursd of getting it.

It has always been true in manufacturing that the more ex
perience and the more advice you could bring to bear on the
designing and making of an article, the better the article.
And other things being equal, any unprejudiced buyer would
PREFER the article produced under the most FAVORABLE
CONDITIONS and by the MOST EXPERT manufacturers
especially so if the article is an expensive one.
UNITED STATES TIMS are made
under conditions that ate really
unique in the history of motor
tire making.
Five immense factories;
Five modern laboratories in
charge of men freely recognised
as among the foremost rubber ex
perts in the world;
The most up-to-date equipment
known to the rubber industry;
A system of manufacturing by
which the strongest individual
points of four of the country's
leading makes of motor tires have
been incorporated IN ALL OP
THE FOUR BRANDS;
And an aggregate manufacturing
experience that is not approached
by any other rubber goods manu
facturer. These are some of the EXTRA
FAVORABLE conditions under
which UNITED STATES TIRES
are made conditions which
make them

Thus the man who is wearing
out tires and paying tire bills can

Use Larger Tires
Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires, while they fit your rims,
are 10 per cent oversize. No extra cost
Assume, If you wish, that other tires
are made as well as Goodyears.
There remains the fact that Goodyear
No-Rim-Cut tires get rid of rim-cutting
entirely. And rim-cutting ruins more
automobile tires than any other single
cause.
There remains also the fact that
Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires are 10 per
cent oversize.
Do not these two facta make it worth
your while to insist on Goodyear tires?
What They Mean
Judge what it means, when you have
a puncture, to know that your tire
can't rim-cut.
Tires that rim-cut clincher tires
would be abandoned entirely were it
not for one fact. That fact is that
we control by patents the feature
needed to make No Rim Cut tires
practical.
They who recom
mend clinchers do
so from necessity. It
is not because rim
cutting Is something
to court.
10 Oversize
The bookless base ou No-Rim-Cut
tires lets us make them 10 oversise.
And we do it without any extra cost.
That means 10 'i more air 10
greater carrying capacity. With the
average car this adds Z5 to the tire
mileage.
This oversize takes care of the ex
tras the top, glass front, gas tank,
etc. It aaves overloading tbe main
cause of blowouts.
Yea caa tat this 10 autre carrylnt capacity
