"About 10 o'clork at night," writes Mr.

Railroad Motors
Are Coming Into
More General Use
Unll road motor cars have been coming
Into more or less use during the last
few years. Most of them havo bein
used for suburban traffic, and such
have been provided with specially de
signed and constructed motor of ex
treme horse power.
It has taken the ingenuity and re
sourcefulness of a motor car manufact
urer to apply the mechanism of an or
dinary motor car to ah ordinary rail
road car. so that the combination might
be made to serve a useful purpose.
The Willys-Overland company of To
ledo, O., has purchased -from a railroad
company an rd:nary flat car. Upon
this, suspended beneath the car plat
form, they have mounted the mechanism
of an Overland automobile. This In
cludes the frame, motor, control mech
anism and rear axle, which la used as
a Jack shaft.
COAST TO COAST TRIP
DIFFICULT THROUGH WEST
That the worst difficulties of trans
continental tours are the road and
weather conditions through the west. Is
the opinion of M. A. Croker "and Fred
W'ilklna. who drove the coaet-to-coast
Saxon car from New York to Pan Fran
cisco over the Lincoln Highway. Except
for the conditions which the tourlata
meet within the western section of the
country, driving . across the continent
would-be-an. easy matter.
Even In Journeying over the Allegheny
mountains through the east there la lit

Captain Oaunt Is now In Pittsburgh
Investigating the various processes of
manufacturing armor plate. One of his
first places to call was the I Roy Motor
Car company, nttaburgh Ktudebaker
dealers, where he arranged for the gar
aging of hia 8tudclker "six," which he
had bought In London.
"Of course, I must have an American
car." Captain Oaunt told Mr. IRoy.
"Why? Well, hta majesty ordered me to,
for one reason,
"Before I left, he gave me Instructions.
" 'Live as the Americans do,' he said.
'Make their wave your ways. Be evire to

Simplicity in the
Construction of All
Autos Now Eules
"That manufacturers are leaning toward
a simplified mechanical construction and
are building curs modeled after clean-cut
designs." Is a significant fact." said Pres
ident F. W. Haines of the Begat Motor
Car company recently.
Not many years ago It seemed as though
the more complicated and Intricate the
mechanical construction of a car was the
more It Impressed the public that the
extra value waa there. It la a fact that
many eopln refrained from owning an
automobile because they thought It took
a thorough mechanic to run one and
look after it properly.
War Will Be Boost

SaysJNN. Willys
The European war will act as a posi

president of the Willys-Overland com
pany, and second largest manufacturer
of automobiles In the world, who ex
presses his views in a cablegram from
London, England. For two months Mr.
Willys has been making a study of condi

thoroughly In touch with the situation,
both at home and abroad.

"The Greatest Automobile Value
In The Entire Industry"
4
Many automobile men well informed judges of
motor car values have used these very words in
describing the new Paige "36" for 1915.
They have carefully examined this car from every
possible angle and it is their unanimous decision
that there 13 no car in America which offers so
much for the money.
If you stop to consider the matter for a moment,
you will realize that this is quite the most satis
factory form of praise which can be bestowed
upon any automobile.
To off er the greatest value for the money means that
Paige cars are the soundest investment in the au
tomobile market To offer the most value for the
money means that the Paige has once more es
tablished a new standard tor cars in the moder
ate price field.
Any manufacturer with the necessary manufactur
ing facilities can easily produce a car and sell it
at a popular price, but it is quite another thing
to produce a car which dollar for dollar offers
more intrinsic value than any other automobile
in the world. .
Make it a point to see the new Paige "36" before an- ,
other day goes by. Then you will understand why '
this modelhas created such a sensation through
out the country wherever motor cars are dis
played. Tkm Palgs-Datreat Motar Car Company, Detroit, Michigan

Sturdier Tires
In These Four Ways Excelling All the Rest

And no other method combats one ol these
troubles in an equally efficient way.
These things mean safety, sturdiness and

minimum trouble.

what it means to have such tires.
Find out why Goodyear leads.
The tires which rule in Tire dona now are
Goodyear tires by long odds.
After men have used four millions of
them, they lead in prestige and in sales.
The only reason is that motorists hun
dreds of thousands of them have proved
these the sturdiest tires. They use them and
tell ciher men to use them.
Where They Excel
Back of that super-service lie four ex
elusive features. They are these:
Our No-Rim-Cut feature. Time has
proved it the only satisfactory way to com"
pletely wipe out rim-cutting.
Our "On-Air" cure. This exclusive
process costs us $1,500 dally, but it enda the
chief cause of blow-outs.
Our rubber rivets. By a patent
method, hundreds of these are formed in each
tire to combat tread separation. They re
