SIDE
"To many It may seem strange to con
sider socialism as one of 'the seven
camps of rftllfdon,' " said Ilabbl Colin at
Temple Israel Friday night during the
courso of his lecture on "Socialism." "Is
loclallgm a, religion It will be asked.
"To this It must bo said. In the first
place, that socialism Is the only kind of
religion a irreat many people have. Most
of the leading socialists and a (treat many
of the avowedly socialists are notoriously
anti-religious, openly and even bitterly
opposed to religion. They look upon re
ligion aa their greatest enemy, as the
friend and ally of those who champion
the present order of things; as opposed
to alt Intellectusl and social progress.
"In the second place It may bo said
that those who hold this view make- of
socialism . veritable religion. Socialism
Is to them all that religion Is to others.
They espouse It with all their heart and
soul, give to It all the fervor of their
being. It Is the grand passion of their
nature, their ruling and their master
passion. I am firmly convinced that a
great many who espouse what wa call so
cialism. If called upon would not only
take great risks and make great sacri
fices aa very many are already (Joins,
but would even be willing to glva up
their lives In behalf of the eaaso which
In their eyes is not only sacred, but the
grandest and most sacred of all causes.
The cause that can Inspire such heroism
and evoke such a spirit of marlyrJom Is
surely of the essence of religion.
Socialism Is neltsrlon.
"Moreover when we Inquire as to the
object of socialism, we are compelled to
admit that It Is entitled to be called a
religion. There are many kinds of nodal
Ism: even socialists are not agreed
among themselves Just what socialism Is,
but apart from any particular program,
any special theoretical system, socialism
In Its broadest, most Inclusive sense, Is
the great effort after human betterment,
the universal Improvement of. social con
ditions, the amelioration and even per
fection of human society.
"flurely a movement with such an aim
Is entitled to be called a religion, or to
be considered under the aspect of re
ligion. For what Is religion? To state
It most briefly and comprehensively,
avoiding all differences nnd technicalities,
religion Is love to God and love to man."

Goodyear Company
Breaks Record for
Production Again
"It Is Interesting to note," s,iys an of
ficial of the Goodyear Tire and Kubber
company, "that though our factory at
Akron turned out B2.S73 pneumntlo tire
casings for automobiles and motorcycles
last week, and thus broke the world's
records for production we ourselves had
formerly msde, the tires themselves are
better tires than Goodyear ever made before.
"Fully as Imporlant Is tho fact that
wo are using for tires fabric made In our
own mill, purchased by Qoodyoar a year
ago at ICItllngly. Conn, We had already
been buying nnd using the best long
staple cotton fabric obtainable for our
work. Our experimental staff found that
n even the best fabrlo purchasable the
threads running one way had greater ten
sion than the cross threads, and, there
fore, did moro than their sham of the
work.
"So, In our own mill wc experimented
until wo perfected a weave In which the
threads bore an equal strain, nnd wa use
fabrlo woven that way, under our own
supcrvUlon, in our tires. And our tiro
fabric Is moro efficient than over before.
"This has added to our factory cost,
but It has also added to the miles and
satisfaction tiro users obtain from Qood-
years. That being the case, we are satis
fied. Qoodyear popularity has been built
upon quality, and upon that basis It will
bo maintained."
Oakland Survives
Road Test Down in
Southern Uruguay
J. Felix Castillo of Montevedeo, Uru
guay, may never have lived in Missouri,
but nevertheless he has the well-known
habit of the people ot that state "you
have to show him."
Johnson Martin, who represents the
Oakland company in South America, made
extraordinary claims for the Oakland
and Castillo was Interested, but skeptical
He had his own Ideas ot an automobile
demonstration, but Martin wan hardly
prepared for the unusual conditions he
Imposed for a test, Castillo had planned
a SSO-mlle road testl
A 350-mlle Journey In Uuruguay meant
a two or three days' tour, and, as
Cuatillo had mapped the route, It led
over the roughest roads and unpopulated
plains and hills. Tools and clothes must
be carried and they were placed with the
extra tires at the rear; with the food and
mater under the front seat.
It was agreed that a stripped chasls ot
a stock car should be used and that
Martin and Castillo should make the
trip, the former driving.
Castillo returned from the tett fully
convinced as to the capabilities of the
Oakland, and Martin had another sale tc

Oval Race Course
Used for Testing
of Regal Machines
To the visitor at the Regal Motor com
pany's factory, Detroit, one of the most
Interesting sights Is the private testing
track. This Is a big course, banked at
the ends similar to any apeed track and
Is about as long as two city blocks. This
track is used exclusively for testing
Regal cars aa they come from the as
sembllng plant.
In the center of the track Is the motor
And rough chassis test building, where
each chassis is first warmed up" by
being placed on a set of rollers, which
are sunk level with the floor. Here th
car Is started and run for a period of ten
hours, the motor working at a speed ot
KO revolutions per minute, with the
.transmission and rear axles in operation.
After a general Inspection ot control
levers, brakes, etc., comes the test on the
track, and to the outsider the many cars
speeding around the oval might very
easily be mistaken for a race.
It Is unusual to see such a Urge area
in the heart of a city given over to a
purpose of this kind, but this ground Is
Just a portion of the nine and one-half-
acre plant of the R&sal company.

Over Half Million
Fords Constructed
and Sold Up to Date
More than a half million Fords have
been built and sold to date. The Ford
company's big Highland Park (Mich.)
factory was speeded up and completed
automobiles were being turned out at
tho rale of more than 1,100 a day as the
half-million milestone was left behind.
This is but a continuation ot the paco
set In March, when for twenty-six con
secutlvo working days the dally produc
tion exceeded 1,100 cars.
Since 1908, the growth Of the company,
as indicated by yearly car sales, has
been phenomenal. That year the sales
totaled more than 6,000, the next year
they Jumped to more than 11,000, the next
year they were more than 19,000, in 1M1
they exceeded 37,000, ' in 1912 they were
more than 74,000, and In 1915 they were In
excess of 180,000.
And this year's sales are keeping up
the pace. The Fords built before 1908,
tlioso built and sold Bp far this year, and
tho total of the sales for the six years
given above combine to mako a grand
total of more than a half million.
I is quoted from a certificate signed by tho
occupant of a Paige "J, which re
cently succeeded In climbing the 38 per
cent grade to the summit.
"This Is to certify that on Wednes
day, March 11, 1914, we in company with
Ralph F. Herrlck, rode in a Paige "36T'
car over what is known as Mathews hill
at Areata.
"There were five In the car at the
time of this trial. The grade of this hill
Is 33 per Cent To our knowledgo there
have been many cars ot different makes
that have tried this hill, but the Paige
Is tho first and only car to date to make
the ascent."
PAIGE MAKES UNIQUE
REC0RDJN CALIFORNIA
Mathews Hill at Areata is famous
throughout the countryside as a bugbear
to the automobtllsts who travel through
that portion of the state. The following
Old "Jack Rabbits"
Bought by Apperson
While the business of the Apperson
Bros. Automobile Co., at Kokomo, Ind.,
Is primarily tho maufacturo and sale ot
New "Jack RabWt" motor cars, Elmer
Apperson, president of the company and
pioneer automobile builder, occaslonlly
rverscs the established order and buys
some of hla own cars.
Such was the case a short time ago
when Mr. J. H. DeJong, Manager of the
Apperson Jock Rabbit Auto Co., at
Omaha, came Into possession of two old
"Jack Rabbits" of the vintage of 1899 and
1909 respectively. After considerable
pressure and persuasion Mr, DeJong
finally consented to part with them, and
after being exhibited at the Omaha Auto
Bhow, where they attracted as much at
tention as the very newest and latest ot
this year's cars, they were shipped; to the
Apperson Factory Branch at Chicago.
'ACKARD COMPANY NOW
HAS BRANCH IN LONDON
In line With the growing popularity of
Amorlcan cars abroad, the Packard
Motor Cat 'company ot Paris has estah
Ushed a branch office, service station and
rental dopot In London, Kngland.
The now establishment Is located at
No. 7 Lower Belgrave street, off Buck
ingham Palaco' road. It will carry a
complete supply of parts and provldo the
same expert technical attention which
could be secured nt home. It also ar
ranges for the crating and slipping of
cars and assists In 'mastering the many
formalities which must be compiled with
before the start ot an extended conti
nental tour.
As the only continental branch repre
senting a high grade American car, the
Packard station In Paris has many de
mands from motor tourists abroad. In
response to requests for rental service
by tourists at the Riviera during; the
winter Season, a station has been estab
lished at Nice.
Proves Durability
of Cadillac Parts
A unique demonstration ot the thor
oughness ot manufacturing policies and
methods was recently mode by a dealer
in uouisviuc,. xty. xna aeajer in qucsuon
wished to prove the durability ot his car
and to do this In a convincing spec
tacular manner, publicly alsmantlcd a
Cadillac that had run 6.W0 miles without
ever halng been overhauled.
A force of mechanics removed all the
parts from the chassis and put them on
exhibition on a large stand so that they
could be examined Just as they came
from a period of steady servlco which
might readlty be .considered mqre than
the entire life of th nerngc automobile.
The nearly perfect state of these parts,
many ot which could not be distinguished
trom new ones even on the closest ex
amination, caused something ot a sensa
tion and one of the spectators purchased
the car on the spot, thus proving the ef
fectiveness of this manner of demonstrat
ing durability ot material nnd accuracy
ot manufacture.
Makes life Worth Living
This is the car that made the greatest record of all
in the past season. The thousands of Detroiters, in
hardest service, averaged, from January, 1913, to Jan
uary, 1914, just $3.81 apiece for repair parts. No other
car, of any type, or at any price, can touch this record.
With its Ions stroke,
thirty-two horse-power,
ball bearing motor, the
Detroiter climbs a 15
grade at 28 miles per
hour "on high." On second and
first speeds It climbs anywhere
its wheels can find traction.
Because of its ball bearings,
correct power ratio and light
weight, the Detroiter uses' at
least 22 less fuel than is de
manded by over-powered cars of
its class: 20 to 25 miles per gallon
is its everyday record. 1
It has the smooth gait of the
platform spring. The actual
amount of added comfort is 33.
$925
CsatakUIr
The Detroiter has the
greatest proportion of
braking surface of any
car made one square
inch per 9 5-10 pounds.
The long stroke motor and
sensible gear ratio (4 to 1),
make for slow depreciation; the
rear axle cannot give way its
margin of safety is 2,000 pounds
overload; the ball bearings, of
finest grade, do not wear out and
never need adjustment as do
other types, neither can they
bind when the car is distorted by
rough roads or accident; and
ruinous road shock has no terrors
for the platform spring. Such a
car lasts.

smooth tread. The projections are fiat

less sharp edces afford a resistless grip.
This tread Is double-thick. It is made
of very tough rubber. The sharp edges
last for thousands of miles.
Instead of rounded grips, here are grips
with sharp edges.' Instead of a rugged,
irregular tread, here is one smooth and
regular.
Instead of separate projections center

the base, and spread the strains just like
a plain tread.
