Paige Can Stand Submarine Usage Rolling around the streets of Du luth, Minn., in a Paige touring car with a record that should entitle it to membership in the submarine class, as well as a few blue ribbons for a "come back' 'stunt so sensational that it kept the Duluth citizens talking for many days. The Paige in question is owned by L. H. Dresser, a railroad official. Mr. Dresser one day recently was at the wheel of his car on the famous aerial bridge that is one of the sights of Duluth and which, with one exception in Europe, is the only one of its kind. Instead of operating a conventional draw this bridge moves over the water like a suspended cash carrier. On this occasion the bridge was crowded to its capacity with traffic and in the. jam resulting someone made a false move that precipitated Mr. Dresser and his car into the water many feet below, The Paige fell forty-three feet to the bottom of the canal, where it rested upside down, with Mr. Dresser pinned beneath the wheel. Although he is 65 ycaors old, Mr. Dresser succeeded in extricatine himself and reached the surface of the water, where he was rescued. The Paige car was successfully sal vaged shortly after the accident by means of a block and tackle arrange ment operated by a salvage company ana was touna- to De little the worse for its plunge, a few minojf breaks and smashed fenders and seats comprising uie carnage. , Packard's Engine- Tire Combination Twin Six smoothness of action and Goodyear cord tires again go into a combination that will give joy to the 1917 motorist. Goodyear tires are standard equipment on Packard cars because of "the extraordinarily good service given by them," as pointed out by Alvan Macauley, president of the Packard company. . Investigations have shown that it has not been Unusual for Packard owners to get 8.000 to 12.000 miles and even'more out of these tires. All weather1 , tread, 35x5, for the'irear wheels and rib tread, 35x5, for the front wheels are delivered on twin sixes unless other tires are specified. The all weather treads are proving remarkably effective in the prevention of skidding. Experiments on smooth strips of beach with motor cars of one cylin der have shown that the tires left a distinct depression in the sand for each impulse of the engine. This was made when the force of the explosion was transmitted to the wheels, show ing tiiat the uneven, jerky applica tion of power imposes maximum stress and wear upon the tires. It naturally follows that this etfect is diminished by dividing the stress through the use of additional cylin ders. The continuous, even flow of power given by the twelve-cylinder engine practically has eliminated the abrasive, action which is so hard upon tires.
