Lafayette blvd.. In the vicinity of the Studebaker plant was plven some much needed repairs during the past week. Holes In the pavement somo of them as large aa two feet In diameter have been refilled with asphalt The opening of the new Studebaker plant was celebrated last night with a banquet given in the employes recreation room. Many of the otflcers. directors and representatives of the company in various parts of the country attended the banquet. A Mosquera of "Rio de Janlero, representative of the Studebaker corporation in Brazil, was one of the guests. Many South Bend motorists - will take advantage cf the holiday on July 5, and make trips to lakes and cities in this territory. A grtat many automobile parties will leave South Bend on Saturday afternoon and return to the city on Monday night. The "Week-End Tours" that have been appearing each Sunday in the New9-Times will bo the guide for a large number of these tourists. In the United States there are 530 concerns who manufacture passenger and commercial motor vehicles. They have an invested capital of J736.000.000 with 2S0.0OO employes who draw a yearly wage of $27 3,000,000. These workers last year turned out 1,806,194 motor vehicles with a wholesale value of $917,470,9.18. This branch of the automobile Industry expended $4S0. 00-0, 000 lasi year for parts and supplies. Here are a few things the automobiles owned by tho American public could do In the event of another national emergency. Averaging 100 miles per day, and assuming that our army comprised 1,000,000 men, our autos could carry every man 600,000 miles In eight months' time. If automobiles had been used instead of railroads to transport our men during the world war, they could have carried the entire overseas force to the training camps and thence to the seaboard as required in less time than taken by the railroads. America's automobiles could have carried every man In all the armies fighting In Europe, from Paris to Berlin within 4 3 hours. It is interesting to compare the value of our automobile imports with our exports of the same product. In eleven years from 1908 to 1918 Inclusive, we imported from France, Italy, England, Germany, Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, and Austria-Hungary a total of 8758 motor cars with a combined value of J 15,98 3,730. In comparison we shipped to the United Kingdom alone during a period of from 1913 to 191 S, while that nation was engaged In a war, passenger cars to the value of $26,2S4,468. West Virginia, sometimes termed the "Switzerland of America" has a new automobile club that promises to do wonders for the state in the way of improving road conditions and making that commonwealth popular with tourists. The Wheeling Automobile club, with several hundred members was recently organized and is now affiliated with the A. A. A. Certainly the beauties of the state will bo more appreciated when it has equipped itself with a system of connected highways, for which the newly organized club intend to work. The bridging of tho Missouri River between Bismarck and Mandan. North Dakota, will remove the greatest barrier In the National Parks Highway, extending from Chicago to the Pacific Coast and touching Yellowstone, Rainer and Crater Lake National parks. Contracts for tho bridge, amounting to $1,200.000 have been signed with the Federal Government, the state of North Dakota and the several counties which are contributing to this project. Tho move has been contemplated for many years. Motorists starting on a camping tour usually have one fault. They include too much unnecessary "junk." Two people should be interviewed by the embryo camper, the head of the local automobile supply house, and the dealer who handles the make of car In which the trip will be made. The former la only too glad to lend his pen-ices in advising as to what to take, and most likely has the required articles In Etock, and tho dealer is best fitted to advise as to which parts are most likely to need replacement In addition, a good medical book dealing with first aid, authoritive road maps, a book explaining fully the mysteries of camp cooking, (it's different than over a coal range) and a book dealing exclusively with the car you are driving, should be carried.

TRUCK RELIEVES RAILSITÜATIOH Motor Car Most Important of All Agencies in Transportation. WASHINGTON, June 26. The truck is the most important of all agencies In relieving 'the present very unsatisfactory railroad transportation situation. During the month of May 68,000 motor cars and trucks were driven over the road from factory to dealer. This is 7,000 cars more than the figure set In April for this method of overcoming the transportation problem. The difficulties of railroad transportation during the last month or six weeks have had their effect on automobile production, the manufacturers as a whole being now on about a 7C percent basis, owing to transportation limitations on incoming material. Aside from the home demand, the foreigners are asking for motor vehicles in greater numbers than ever before. March exports established a new record with the shipment of 3,185 trucks, valued at $4.600.000, and 14,702 cars, valued at $16,000.000. In order to reciprocate with European countries the American automobile manufacturers, by a unanimous vote of 123 companies, have petitioned congress to reduce the tariff on foreign automobile 33 1-3 percent from its present figures. Rports from all sections of the country indicate a tremendously increasing use of trucks to help relieve the present transportation situation. The motor truck is advocated for nil short-haul business, thus helping the railroads by relieving them of what Is declared to be unprofitable business.

TERRIBLE TALES OF TORTURED TIRES

I'm a has-been, a down-and-outer. Four months apro I came out of tho tire factory, strong and fit for a lonpr life. Now I am on the junkpile finished. Mistreatment by my owner caused my early collapse. I was suffocated choked. I was deprived of air the cheapest thing on earth. When I needed air, my ownr did not heed. lie speeded past free-air stations and gave me never a thought. He was in a hurry to pet to the country where he and his wife and children could breath deeply of the fresh, clean air, and he neglected my needs. I got hot feverishly hot. I san'c down under the heavy strain. Trip after trip I made while I was choking. My carcass began to fall apart but still my owner did not nctlce. I'inally I collapsed. Then my owner cussed and sold me to a junk dealer for a fraction of what I cost. He thought I was to blame and criticised my maker even though his own carelessness caused by downfall. I did my level best but I couldn't work without air.
