Reliable Vulcanizing The kind that "holds" when the other portions of the fabric have worn away is the only kind fof vulcanizing that's worth while. It pays to keep a good tire in repair, and if you have to vulcanize an old tire, insist on the very best work that kind costs you no more, and when you later on "check up," you find many more miles to your credit.

With fourten entries in the tillj , and the advance seat sale for the V International 500-mile race to b; ! y held in Indianapolis Tues, May 30, twenty per cent, ahead of last year's record breaking figures, the Speedway executives are working at top speed to get everything in readiness. Ralph De'Palma, that favorite son of speed, who- turned defeat into fame here in 1912 and then won in 1915, will pilot a home made car, the Duesenberg, in the event. He has abandoned the foreign cars he has been piloting with litle or no success in the last few years for a speed creation of America, in the hope that he can show his tires to the other drivers at the finish wire. 'Handsome Howdy" Wilcox, who won in 1919, wil try to repeat in

the Peugeot he has been tuning up

over the bricks of the local oval all winter. Wilcox has had unusually bad luck in the last two races, but is confident that he will have the 'bugs" worked out of his French car by race time this year. Eddie Hearne. the youthful veteran of American speed paths, will show his hairless dome to the fans from the driver's seat of a DisteelDuesenberg. Hearne was the first driver to enter the big race and will carry the numeral 1 on his car. Tommy Milton, who has more titles than any of the pilots, wiil bring a new car made in California, to the race-. Milton was victorious here in. 1921. is the speed king of the world, having traveled 1 56.4 miles per hour on the sands of Daytona Beach, Florida, at the wheel of a 16-cylindsr Duesenberg. and last year was winner of the A A. A? Championship.

EXPERIENCED MOTORIST IS BOOSTER FOR HIS OWN CAR

Automobile owners today are receivingmore value for their money than at any time since the inception of the industry. That is true of all cars and all classes classes beiny determined by the price. In order to survive for even a brief period no automobile can place on the market anymore a product which is not a pretty smoth-running durable ar one which will take the owner about any place he cares to go, at all t'imes. It is no longer a question merely of 'reliability. The chief point which the prospective purchaser now has to decide is which is the best car for -the money which he can afford to spend and which is most useful for his or her particular'needs. This has forced the makers to decide upon what particular line they care to specialize and to make the best machine possible in that particular price class. It Is this elimination process which has tend

ed to put all makes in different price classes. . COMPETITION VERY KEEX Thus has developed a. competition so keen that each maker in each class has been compelled to reduce his price to a minimum with a fair profit to the manufacturer without which none could survive. At the fame time the competition requires the standard of manufacture to be of the highest. This is where the consumer comes into his own and is able to secure cars of the very best at prices he never dreamed could be practical. In many case the experienced

motorist the one who Is in the market for his second or tenth car.

as the case may b determines on

the product he intends to make his own long before he visits the salesrooms to inspect it. INTIMATE KOVyi-EIGE OF CAR His knowledge of the car is almost as intimate as if he had been the possessor of it before. The final inspection that he makes under the guidance of a salesman and the demonstration he requires over roads of his own selection are simple formalities - with wTilch he may put t'he final stamp of approval kjn. the Judgmetvt h ha-s formulated y analyzing: and compounding all of the news about the est thafhe Yit-s found n the daily press, in the uade Journals, and through the ' conversations he has had with owners. For the experienced owner is an enthusiast, constantly on the alertfor news from the motor car industrv H keens as close a tab on the

j performance of pleasure cars as he

does of the racing macnine. KXOAVS COMPETING CARS ALSO. He can tell you as readily the horse power, the approximate speed range, the g-asoline mileage of any car within the price range as he ran pmlsln the srteed. the time or

j the winner of any of the important

racing events or tne year. Thus it is that you rarely hear an experienced motorist complaining about his car. - His-word is a boast, a challenge, a boost. He's as proud of his oar as- he is of his ' Judgment which prompted him to select it.

IDEAL STRIP OF LINCOLN HIGHWAY FOR LAKE COUNTY

Imediate steps to carry through the construction of the Ideal Section of the Lincoln Highway have been authorized by the Executive Committee of the Lincoln Highway Asociation, says the Hcosier Motorist, lhe section will be constructed between Dyer and Schererville, Lake County, Indiana, just outside of Chicago. The decision of the Executive Committeejto authorize construction was made possible by the unanim-

ous passage by the Lake County Council of an appropriation of $25,000 to assist in the work. The .

financial cooperation of the county

was the last step necessary to assure the construction of the Ideal Section at that point. State Aid Already Assured. In April, 1921, the Indiana State Highway Commission voted to aid the construction of the Section to the extent of $33,000 a mile, this sum involving -i a portion of the State's Federal Aid.

WARNING ISSUED BY BATTERY MAKERS

The fact that the entire electrical equipment on an automobile may 'not be made in one factory does not mfan that the manufacturers of the various parts hav net co-operated, to the end that tha whole functions most efficiently as a unit. Quite to the contrary, makers of the generator, starting motor, dash equipment and storage battery on a single car, are required to work together for the most satisfactory operation of the car itself their parts must co-ordinate properly." This point at once suggests an

other fact that the- substitution foJ

otner man tne original manufacturers" parts in the repair of any of these units is almost certahf to impair its efficiency. That is particularly true Th the case of the storage battery, where it seems to be a common -practice for some battery repair men to "rebuild" an old battery with a few new parts, .add sell it again as a "repaired" standard make, "with a lot of life left In it" at a price way out of reason for

the. service it will render." Such imposition is the thing tha all manufacturers of standard storage batteries are anxious to bring to the attention of car drivers." There would be no occasion for the origin? owner of such a tiattery to dispose of it, if it could have been economically repaired. It certainly can

not be made An economical purchase

for anyone else after having been once worn out and discarded as worthless.
