NEW METHODS OF
TESTING GARS
FOUND BY WAR
, . ' -Willys-Overland
Makes Trans
continental Trips. With
Army Trucks Showing
Dependability.
The Willys-Overland company of
Toledo hat .this season introduced
new methods for testing automo
biles which are a direct development
of war experience.
Realizing that the modern motor
car tnust successfully meet the most
extreme riding conditions, the Wil-lys-Overalnd
company planned and
carried out the idea of subjecting the
new light weight car the company
has been developing for two years,
and which, it is understood, will
ioon be on the market, to tests
which would parallel the rough and
ready use motor cars in the war zone
daily received. ,
For these tests unusual "breaking
machines" have been rigged up and
used in the factory, and the cars
have been sent into rough, untrav
iled country for most gruelling road
performance
Shows Stamina.
In the preliminary tests, the new
Overland car showed stamina and
riding qualities so remarkable that
the car was selected as the official
scout car in the first transcontinent
al test trip of the United States mo
tor transport corps, which started
at Washington, D. C, on July 7th,
and is expected to arrive about Sep
tember 7 in San Francisco. The
route being followed by the motor
transport corps is that of the Lin
coln highway.
This transcontinental trip has
been undertaken to establish and
demonstrate the possibilities of the
motor vehicle as a factor in coast-to-coast
transportation. It is to
serve as a supreme test of the utility
and dependability of the modern
motor vehicle.
With the army trucks participat
ing in this convoy are three of the
new light Overland cars, which will
be put on the market this season by
the Willys-Overland company. The
cars on this tour, according to re
port, are making a record for com
fortable riding qualities, readability
and all-around utility.
The Overland company makes no
disclosure as to price or date of the
public announcement of the new
car, except to say the car will be
moderate in price and will soon be
delivered to dealers.
Kopac Brothers to Buy
Large Ranch to Work
With Modern Tractors
Three of the Kopac Brothers, Ed
ward, John and Emil, left Saturday
for western Nebraska for the pur
pose of purchasing what will be
known as a Tractor randi.
The plan is to buy a tract of land
either 1,000 or 2,000 acres in area
and work it entirely with tractors.
Emerson tractora will be used on
this ranch.
New Hudson Phaeton Here
"Although the supreme endurance
of the Hudson Super-Sx has been
proved from Daytonia to Pike's
Peak, and by more than 60,000 own
ers, the limitation of its possibilities
has never been reached, said Guy
L. Smith.
"The Hudson compensated crank
shaft motor which, by eliminating
destructive vibration, gave a tre
mendous increase in power with a
decrease in weight, has almost rev
olutionized motor car design in the
past three years.
"The sensational performancea of
the Super-Six halted the tendency
to obtain- more power by the build
ing of motors of excessive size with
a corresponding weight of frame,
wheels, springs and chassis to with
stand the vibration and shock. But
the wonderful records made by the
Hudson still stand, never having
heen equalled by any other car.
"The endurance or the Super-Six
was proved beyond question when
a fully equipped stock car with
driver and passengers was sent for
100 miles at a speed of 74.67 miles an
hour. Then came the smashing of
the transcontinental record when the
Hudson Super-Six beat the best pre
vious time by 14 hours and 59 minutes."
(Note: This is No. 1 of a series of eight lessons in the care of solid
iruck tires prepared by the H. e. Goodrich Kuboer company, AKron,
Of all possible abuses to solid motor truck tires
overloading is the most, disastrous. A piece ot prop
erly vulcanized rubber may be compressed within
certain limits, and when it is released will spring
back into its original size and shape. The first time
it is compressed beyond its power of resistance, how
ever, the rubber will break down. It is evident,
therefore, that solid tires are destroyed not only by
continual overloading, but by overloading them once.
Truck owners should make sure that their truck
is equipped with tires sufficiently large to take care of
the greatest load the truck will be subjected to. There
is only one way to determine the actual weight of a
truck, that is to run it on scales, both with and with
out load, and to find out not only the weight, but also
the weight carried on each axle.
Tires with which one pair of wheels is equipped
may often be overloaded while the tires on the other
pair are not carrying their full proportion of the load.
Trucks are freauently loaded so that heavy aticles
are piled near the tailboard, while the forefront of the body carries little
or nothing. In such cases the rear tires are usually found to be carrying
an overload, although the total load is well within the truck's capacity.
The same condition is met -with when heavy material, such as lumber,
pipe. etc.. is allowed to project over the tailboard and, when the truck is
f . 1 ' 4 1 1 ! A iL. A.'. m
in motion, to exert a crusning leverage wmcn is ruinous io me mcs.
There is only one solution to the overload problem and that is the
ounce of prevention.

Marmon Car Shows
Remarkable Mileage
on Two Round Trips
To make two round trip trans
continental runj from Seattle east,
besides three round trips from Se
attle to southern California might
seem a good travel record for a
motorist to establish in two or three
years, but A. H. Gould, a lumber
magnate of Seattle, condensed all
this into 15 months, with his Mar
mon 34 roadster, and is now in Yel
lowstone park homeward bound on
his second round trip across the
map. The first long tour he made
extended clear to Maine and back,
the present one to the middle west.
The speedometer of the Marmon
34 registered 35,744 miles when the
Goulds reached the Marmon fac
tory, Indianapolis, a short time ago,
on their way east after just 14
months of travel. With the home
ward bound travel of at least 2,500
miles the register will show 38,244
miles, an average of more than 2,500
miles per month.
Battery Connector.
A very convenient battery con
nector may be made from a piece of
heavy steel coil spring. The spring
wire at each end is fashioned into a
hook and these are slipped into the
battery posts, the tension of the
spring insuring perfect contact.

The Vital Importance of
What is to Be
THE Delphian oracle exerdsexj its mighty
influence over the ancient Greeks, not because
it interpreted what had happened but because it
prophesied what was to come.
In this day and age, there's nothing more ob
solete than yesterday's newspaper, but there's
always a crowd around a bulletin board!
The world moves irresistibly forward onward.
There's no standing still. Those who do not
progress fall behind.
What is to be not what has been commands
our attention. Interest "centers in the future
not in the past.
For ten years the career of the Cole has been
characterized by big undertakings.
It was one of the first two American-built eight
cylinder cars. It was the first automobile to which
the principles of aerotype construction were applied.
But, if the Cole company had stopped there if
it had not built a structure for future achievement '
on this foundation of past accomplishment, it
could not have progressed. v
Cole's Latest Creations Herald Future Progress
C)LE contributions have been significant.
Season after season, year after year, they have
given the motoring world things that were new,
original and a bit in advance of the times.
The cvfeTt) -Eight was the sponsor of a new
fashion in motor cars. The open models came
as a complete innovation in body designing and
performance efficiency.
The new cfero-EiGHT all-season cars, which have
just appeared, are, likewise, exclusively new and
advanced conceptions. Their flush panel con
struction is an advantageous and pleasing depart
ure in coach building.
Their restful comfort, their easy riding qualities,
their wide range of performance is not to be com
pared with any previous attainment in the de
velopment of enclosed equipages.
The vacuum, full-vision windshield of the
Tourosine and Toursedan, is a significant im
provement. The care and taste evidenced in the .exterior
finish, the selection of the velvety fabrics within,
and the completeness and dignity of the minor
refinements with which the cvfero-EiGHT all-season
cars are adorned, bespeak the fine workmanship
they embody.
Inspired by a single aim to anticipate the
trend of the future and be the first to give it
tangible expression Cole is now universally
recognized as the creator of advanced motor cars.
That is why when a distinctively new type of
car appears the public anticipates finding the
Cole nameplate on it.
