Ninety Packard Trucks
"Make Cross-Country Trip
The largest truck train movement
yet undertaken by Uncle Sam recent
ly reached a successful ending at
Camp Jesup, Ga., when 90 three
ton Packard trucks completed a 981
mile cross-country journey from De
troit. Not only was the trip remarkable
on account of the distance and the
length of the train, but much of the
country traversed was unsuited to
such heavy traffic and the soldier
drivers had to strengthen and rebuild
dozens of bridges along the route.
At Guntersville, Ala., where the
swollen Tennessee river had to be
crossed, only a one-man ferry cap
able of carrying a single truck was
available. This diminutive transport
required two hours for each round
trip and would have necessitated a
week's night-and-day effort to put
the train on the far bank. o moving
several miles down the river, a rail
road ferry accommodating 18 trucks
was commandeered and after a' suit
able approach was built, the long car
avan put the stream behind it 'n lit
tle more than a day's time.
Despite many such difficulties the
trucks rolled into Camp Jesup sev
enteen days after leaving the Packard
factory, every truck in fighting trim.
Kerosene Auto Lamps.
An early automobile catalog gave
the very interesting information that
the automobile could be run at night,
for kerosene lamps were provided for
the purpose.
Harry Waits Writes He

SOUTH SIDE
Hakk Watts.
Harry Watts, who used to look
after the "movies" for The Bee, and
who was recognized as the grandest
little "fillirm" expert in captivity,
writes home from Camp Dodge that
he likes it. "Believe-in-nie" Thomas-J
says it would make an awful lot of
difference if Harry didn't like it; just
think how the army would feel. Harry
Goldberg, Bob Shirley and Eddie
Monaghan, please write. Moreover,
Watts has been made corporal, which
means a raise in salary, and that helps
some. Whatf encourages his friends
most is rthe fact that his noodle has
been found all right; at any rate, he
passed the psychological test O. K.
Nothing is said as to whether he is
gaining weight.
Ever-Tyte Piston Ring Fits
Out-of-Round Cylinders
Every repair man knows how diffi
cult it is, with ordinary piston rings,
to get compression in a cylinder that
is worn even slightly oval. The
trouble is that ordinary rings wear
oval themselves under such a condi
tion, and the result is imperfect ra
dial expansion and improper combus
tion.
It was to remedy this prime fault
of piston rings that the Ever-Tight
Piston Ring company, St. Louis, Mo.,
designed the liver-Tyte piston ring
about six years ago. This ring is
made in threa.,sectio,n, each of which
backs up and reinforces the others,
and all exert equal outward pressure,
so that if the diameter of the cylin
der is larger at one place than an
other, the ring will fill the irregular
ity perfectly and maintain the normal
compression upon which the efficiency
of the engine depends.
The Ever-Tyte Piston Ring has
sufficent flexibility to take up the in
equalities of an out-of-round cylin
der, and as the pressure is equal at
all points, the ring does not tend to
wear unequally; in other words, if
it is moved around in its groove it
will simply accommodate itself to the
new position and keep the piston
tight.
In addition to its perfect Mhree
point radial expansion, the concen
tric construction of Ever-Tyte takes
care of the matter of snug, uniform
side fit in the piston head grooves,
and thus eliminates this source of
carbon troubles.
Wherever a joint in the Ever-Tyte
rings occurs, there is a close-fitting
seal of solid metal which gas cannot
pass. Nowhere is there a single
source of oil or gas wastage.

Sagging Frama.
It is common to find car frames that
sag in the middle, after a considerable
period of service. Sometimes this
condition produces difficulty in clutch
shifting and other mechanical opera
tions because the various parts have
been twisted a little out of alignment.
The proper w"ay to cure a sagging
frame is to fit a truss rod, with a turn
buckle, under the sagging portion of
the frame. If the car owner cannot
carry out the repair himself; any ma
chine shop

Farmers and
Stockmen Are
Using Trucks
Turn to Motor Power to
Haul Their Cattle to
Market.
"Because of congested
freight conditions in the
cattle country, farmers
and stock raisers are
turning to the motor
truck for hauling their
produce and cattle to mar
ket," says Carl Chang
strom of the Standard
Motor Car Co.
"That this method of
transporting livestock is
practical and a foregone
success is evidenced by
the first train, which re
cently passed through
Dallas from Farmersville,
containing five trucks
loaded with sheep and
hogs for delivery at the
Fort Worth stock Yds. The
entire distance of 57 miles
was made in 7 hours at
less cost than if shipped
via freight cars."
Standard Has
Trucks on Hand
posted in regard to the
prices on Motor Trucks
say they are certain to
advance.
The Standard Motor
Car Co., have quite a
large stock of trucks on
hand at the present time,
which were purchnsed at
the old prices and will
be sold on these prices.
After these trucks are
sold, however, there will
be a general advance in
prices made necessary by
the Increased cost of material.

"It Is through the
adaptability of the auto

able te increase my busi

an owner to Carl Chang

"I am the proprietor of
a farm, president of a na
tional bank and owner of
a cattle and sheep ranch,
and it would be impossi
ble for me to handle all
of my business without an
automobile. If I did not
own the car It would re

Why You Should Operate
A Good Motor Truck.
First of all, if you have things to haul, you
can do it cheaper by motor truck.
But besides being a good business investment
the truck is a vital force in national efficiency.
When you operate a motor truck more horses
are freed for over-seas service. Moreover, the
truck eats' none of the grain that should be
shipped abroad.
Whatever is good for the nation is likewise
good for your business.
