Sows motor truck owners, in order to eot greater mileages out of their solid tires, have been using tires of larger size than the standard oversize. The number of owners who follow this practice is large, and the custom is commendable provided the wooden tel loo and steel folloe band are of suf iieient width to support the larger tire A thing which ties is ft tire, ftnd that is tha best explanation the makers of tha dictionary give us as to the maneame ner in which ths word tire Into existence. The first purpose of the tire was to tie or bind the wheel together. As time has passed, the original meaning of tbe word has been lost sight of and now the tire is the part of the wheel which touchea tha road and stands the wear of .travel. The entrance of American tire firms into the export field has turned gray the hair, of many an advertising man who imist keep straight in his mind tha names by which tires are known in the various foreign countries.

One single superfluous pound burdens the cars efficiency. Therefore it had to be light but it had to be strong; it had to endure ; it had to stand the worst of road shocks. To make it strong but light in weight meant the very generous use of those rare steels that provide both. In that way a Maxwell came to be endowed with steels that defy time, defy wear, defy shock. defy the moods of the careless driver. You will find a Maxwell delivers extended mileage as long life as any car built, no matter what the price. And not only long mileage but economic mileage. Because fine steels give little trouble and light weight spins out the mile- age on a gallon of gasoline. Such traits have made friends for the Maxwell in ever growing numbers nearly 400,000 to date. Only 100,000 can be built this year. That means 60,000 will have to take another car besides Maxwell- - L a second-choic- e car. Taylor Motor Car Co. 127 South State Street.

Local glr Journeys and flying are to be aided by a standardization of marking and a registration of feasible landing places.
