GOODYEAR TIRES .
FORAIR CRAFT
AMoplaM Pilots Use Goodyear Tires
To Protect Motors from Jolt
on Ground.
TOED BY PEBSJUNG'S MEN
"Now thit increased attention ia be
ing given to the employment of aero-
lanes at aids in national defense, it
i interesting to note the part that
Goodyear tires play in their use," says
E. R. Preston of the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber company's aeronautic de
partment "Aeroplane motors, like
automobile motors, must be protected
from jo(ts by pneumatic tires. In the
earlier days all' sorts of makeshifts
were used; even bicycle tires were
pressed into service on some of the
pioneer machines. Some builders
went so far as to use full size automo
bile tires.. These were equal to the
occasion as far as reducing the shock
of landing was concerned, but were
far too heavy and offered too much
1 wind resistance.
"Developments in the science of
building better aeroplane tires have
been rapid and revolutionary. As ma
chines have improved and developed
higher speeds in the air with a con
sequent increase in the speed of start
ing and landing, Goodyear tires have
kept pace.
he old type of aeroplane tire was
costly and uncertain. Present day ne
cessity has compelled tire dependa
bility, as machines are now larger and
heavier and .must carry more pas
sengers and heavier loads.
"About five years ago the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber company began to
develop tires to fit the peculiar re
quirements of the aeroplane. It was
early discovered that resiliency was
an important factor; that a live,
springy tire actually aided the ma
chine to eet off the cronnH and
helped to absorb the shock of land
ing, bo Goodyear engineers began to
experiment with cord construction,
with the result that Goodyear cord
tires for aeroplanes have been re
fined to a point of efficiency equal to
that of its successful big brother for
electric and gasoline cars.
"On aeroplanes, tires f large cross
section are used to provide maximum
cushioning ability to resist the lat
eral thrusts that occur when the ma
chine side-swipes the earth in landing.
On machines used fdr scouting in war
the cross section size is reduced one
inch to reduce weight, thereby per
mitting the carriage of an additional
amount of gasoline.
"The eminence of Goodyear in the
aeronautic field is evidenced by the
fact that more than 90 per cent of
the aeroplane tires used by the forty
American aeroplane factories are
Goodyears. All of the machines in
use by General Pershing's army in the
Mexican expedition are Goodyear
equipped. On Curtis, Wright, Bur
gess, Martin, Thomas and many other
machines Goodyear cord aeroplane
tires are standard equipment

OVER-HEATED BATTERY
. CAUSES MUCH DESPAIR
Elmer Rosengren of the Nebraska
Storage Battery company is calling
special attention to the danger of
over-heating batteries.
An over-heated battery is one of
the worst things that; can happen to
a car owner because it may incapac
itate his entire electrical system. It
is well, therefore, for tourists to ob
serve closely the condition of their
storage battery before starting on a
tour, as well as to test.it occasionally
en route.
Over-heating may be caused by sev
eral things. Two of the most com
mon causes are lack of water or
over-charging from the generator.
Before starting on a trip, the gen
erator should be adjusted to supply
the battery with the proper, amount
of current at high speed, inasmuch as
the driving is generally faster when
touring. If the generator is not fur
nishing current properly, it ' should
not be experimented with, but ex
amined by someone who is competent
to make the proper adjustment
VAN DEUSEN IS HEADED
FOR OMAHA ON A VISIT
Walter H. Van Deusen, director of
sales for the Detroiter Motor' Car
company, left Detroit Friday night for
an extended trip, visiting Detroiter
distributers in important distributing
centers, such as Chicago, Cincinnati,
St. Louis, Oklahoma City, Kansas
City, Minneapolis and Milwaukee.
Young Cop Solves
Mystery of Thefts
From Dunbar Safe
Through efforts of Policeman Har
ry Buford the authorities now have
Earl Robinson in custody and a writ
ten confession explaining the myse
rious robberies of the Dunbar Indoor
Athletic club safe, which for the last
ten successive nights has puzzled club
members and police alike. The
amount taken in cash and jewelry
totals about $500.
Robinson after a session with Bu
ford came through with the story.
He was employed in xhe club, which
is a negro organization, and by man
aging to be about when the treasurer
opened the strongbox succeeded in
fetting the combination. For ten
ays the safe was daily relieved of
contents between $20 and $50 and all
efforts to apprehend or discover the
identity of the thief were of no avail.
Buford secured a list of the contents
which had been taken and Friday
learned that a man answering Rob
inson's description had attempted to
cash one of the stolen checks at Mau
rer's cafe. A quantity of the jew
elry has been recovered and Jim
Clark, a confederate of Robinson, has
also been placed under arrest.

Dixie Flyer Is
On Omaia Market
Announcement has' just been made
by W. S. Barker of the distribution
of the Dixie Flyer automobile from
Omaha.
The Dixie Flyer is a sturdy four
pylinder automobile of the lightweight
type, manufactured in Louisville, Ky.
In speaking for the car Mr. Baker
says he has a product which will give
people in this section a very agreeable
surprise. The lines of the car are very
symmetrical and of the stream line
type. It has plenty of power.
Although the "Dixie" is somewhat
new to this section of the country, it
is by no means an untried product.
For the last two years the engineers
and designers of the Dixie have been
putting the car through the most se
vere tests. The late improvements
which have been under the eye of mo
tor manufacturers have been under
close observation at the Dixie factory.
According to the makers they have
embodied every late improvement
which has been proven a success.
The claim which the Dixie backers
hold above all others is the simplicity
of operation. That seems to have
been one of the main objects in con
structing this car. They wanted a
car which would be absolutely safe
as a family car when driven by the
women.

Los Angeles M. D.
Comes to Omaha to
'Buy an Automobile
Omaha's prestige as a distributing
center for automobiles reached the
ears of Dr. Foster M. Hull of Los
Angeles, so when the southern Cali
fornia doctor decided to buy a car
he came here to make his purchase.
Dr. Hull made the trip to Umaha
by railroad, but when he arrived a
make of machine handled by a dealer
on the rarnam street automobile row
struck his fancy and he bought a car.
Driving his new eas wagon, Dr. Hull
started home yesterday, well satisfied
Willi the way they sell cars in Ne
braska's chief city.
Before starting on his homeward
tour Dr. Hull registered at the down
town headquarters of the Omaha Au
tomobile club in the Hotel Fontenelle.
Among the other automobile tour
ists passing through Omaha and
spending the week-end here are:
L. P. Rawlins of Miltonville, Kan.,
enroute to Cedar Rapids, Ia.
C. H- liable ot Lincoln, enroute to
Malvern, Ia.

Allen Factory Has
Assured Deliveries
According to Carl Changstrom.
distributer of Allen motor cars, the
Allen factory is well fixed in their
supply of materials.
1 he Allen representatives were
among those manufacturers woo fore
saw the enormous business which
was sure to be thrust upon the auto
mobile manufacturers this season and
a good supply of materials was purchased.
The Allen people are well able
financially to purchase materials and
a well-grounded faith in the popular
ity of their car induced them to buy
heavily while the opportunity was
theirs.
'At the present time, says Mr.
Changstrom, "the Allen factory has
over $1,000,000 worth of materials on
hand, and orders for much more
which will come through on schedule.
We are very fortunate in being
affiliated with such a concern this
year. It ought to mean a big thing
tor us.
"The Allen is growing in popularity
very fast, as the situation now stands.
The shortage of cars which is bound
to come later in the season will give
us a decided advantage and the man
ufacturers will certainly reap a re
ward due them for placing such con
fidence in the car.
Weeks Releases
His Supporters
Chicago, 111., June 10, Senator
Weeks of Massachusetts today re
leased his delegates. In the ballot
ing yesterday Weeks had 105 votes.
Senator Weeks.. when pressed for a
statement, said simply that he had in
formed his supporters that while he
greatly appreciated their loyalty, he I
desired now that thev should cast '
their votes for some other candidate.
No one would undertake to speak
specifically for Mr. Fairbanks' follow
ers, but it is quite well, understood
that they will not longer press his
candidacy.
It is said Indiana leaders will urge
Fairbanks for vice president
Senator Burton's adherents are dis
posed to go down with banners
flying.
Before the time set for the repub
lican convention it seemed probable
that most of the New York dele
gates who have cast their votes for
Senator Root will continue their al
legiance to the end. The Sherman
following and most of the Cummins
delegates are expected to go almost
solidly to Hughes.
RAILROADS REPORT RAINS IN
SOME PARTS OF THE STATE

There was no general rain Friday
night, but there were numerous places
where the precipitation was from one

the weather is much warmer.
SAXON "SIX"
A big touring car for.five people
Four New Ideas
Today there ara four new ideas In
motor car design!
Light weight
High speed motor
Yacht-line body
Increased riding comfort
' for all passengers
'All four of these modern Ideas yon
find incorporated in the new Saxon
"Six."
Light weight comes from right design
and right materials. Nickel steel in
axles, steering gear and other vital
parts is lighter and stronger than
ordinary carbon steel. Vanadium steel
not only makes better springs but re
duces their weight.
Saxon high .peed motor design gets
more power with less gas out of a
mall motor than men used to get out
of big heavy motors. Besides,
this is a six-cylinder motor
with the even pull and marvel
ous flexibility that only a "Six"
can give. Except for starting
the car, gear shifting is
practically unknown to Saxon
"Six" owners.
"Four" Roadster $448
With detachable Coupe top ' $408
Delivery Car ...... (388
The yacht-Hne body of Saxon "Six"
exemplifies the latest motor car fash
Ion. Body finish is highest quality and
floor boards and running boards are
linoleum covered.
Riding comfort for all five passengers
Is found In the exceptional roominess
of tonneau and driving compartment.
Long resilient cantilever springs mako
rough roads easy.
If you seek speed Saxon "Six" has It
This ear ran 490 miles, from Los
Angeles to San Francisco, In 13 H

Then say to the Salesman!
"Why is your price $250
higher than Studebaker's?"
You will find that any. other car that gives as much as a
SERIES 17 Studebaker, either 6-cylinder or 4-cylinder, is
priced from $250 to $400 HIGHER.
Ask the salesman WHY remembering that back of .Stude
baker lies the judgment of Detroit, the city that knows how
cars are made and of California, the State that knows how
cars PERFORM.
In the year of 1915, both Detroit and California registrations
showed Studebaker cars far in the lead of any cartelling at
over $500. Detroit with so many of its residents closely asso
ciated with the manufacture of cars, O. K.'s the mechanical
side of the car. California, with more miles of good roads and
more days of good weather than any other State, O. It's the
car's performance on the roads.
When such a car, with such endorsement back of It, is priced
$250 to $400 lower than any other cars that equal it, make
them tell you why you have to pay more for those cars. Come
in here and let us show you how much a Studebaker gives.
