( - -~ b Asroplane Pilots Uue_Goodyeur Tires To Proteot Motors from Jolts on Ground. USED BY PERSHING'S MEN “Now that increased attention is be- ing given to the employment of aero- zhnu as aids in national defense, it 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 sutomobile motors, must be protected from jolts by pneumatic tires. In the earlier da‘f's all' sorts of makeshifts were used; even bicycle tires were pressed into service on some of the pioneer machines. Some builders went 80 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 wind resistance. “Developments in the science of bmldmg.better aeroplane tires have been rlfild 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 hegi_ 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 emust 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, lfirlngy tire actually aided the ma- chine to get off the ground and helped to absorb the shock of land- ing. So Goodyear engineers began to experiment with cord construction, with the result that Goodyear cord tjres 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 .of 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 for 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 equipgzd. On_ Curtis, Wright, Bur- gess, Martin, Thomas and many other machines Goodyear cord aeroplane tires are standard equipment.” SURPRISE PARTY IN STORE FOR OMAHA ON MONDAY When it comes to pulling the unex- pected hats are off to the W.

The activity displayed by this organization is a re- fleciion of the activity on the part of the Chalmers Motor company of De- GOODYEAR TIRES FOR AIR CRAFT TAKES OMAHA AGENCY FOR THE “DIXIE FLYER.” W.S5. Darker troit. While not at liberty to dis- close family secrets, it will be well for the people of Omaha to keep their eyes open on Monday, for it has been handed to us confidentially that Bill Huffman is going to pull a party here on Monday the 12th. Judging from our intimate knowledge and acquaint- ance with Mr. Huffman, we believe we will be safe in saying it is going to be some party. OVER-HEATED BATTERY CAUSES MUCH DESPAIR Elmer Rosengren of the Nebraska Storage Battery comp’any 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. 1f 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. THE OMAHA SUNDA: Buw: JUNK 11, 1916, — e Young Cop Solves Mystery of Thefts From Dunbar Safe Through efforts of Policeman Har- ry Buford the authorities now have Ear! Robinson in custody and a writ- ten confession explaining the myste- 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 the club, which is a negro organization, and by man- aging to be about when the treasurer opened the strongbox succeeded in getting the combination. For ten contents between $20 and $50 and all efforts to apprehend or discover the identity of the thicf were of no avail. Buford secured a list of the contents which had Leen 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 Omaha Market 2o 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- ¢cylinder 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 plcnty 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, KELLER ATTENDS BIG STUDEBAKER CONVENTION L. A.

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 Omaha by railroad, but when he arrived a make of machine handled by a dealer on the Farnam street automobile row struck his fancy and he bought a car. Driving his new gas wagon, Dr. Hull started hom terday, well satisfied with the wa hey 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 ¢f Miltonville, Kan,, enroute to Cedar Rapids, Ia. C.

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. The Allen representatives were among those manufacturers who 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 pur- chased. 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 for 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, Ill, 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 13—20 | greatly appreciated their loyalty, he posed to go { desired now tha. they should cast! flying their votes for some other candidate. | No one would undertake to .\pcak‘ specifically for Mr. Fairbanks’ follow- ers, but it is quite well understood that they will not longer press his candidacy.

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 cai{elling at over $500. Detroit with so many of its residents closely asso- clated 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. K.'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.
