EXPERT ADVISES RUBBER HIGHWAYS TO ABSORB SHOCK

CHICAGO, Feb. 2 6 Another way to better roads Is ty the use of worn-out tires. That is the suggestion of John Kearns, chairman of tho tiro division of the Rubber Association of America.. There are 1,300,000 ton of vulcanized rubber scrap, tho yearly remains of worn-out tires. Kearns imggests that they be used as eubgrades for highways. "A eubgrade of rubber scrap would not be expensive," eayn Kearns. "It would, I believe, afford great cushioning power to the road to absorb the heaviest blows. "Rubber slabs have been used for many years in road making abroad. There are stretches of such road In IJerlln and in Melbourne, Australia, I remember experimenting with miccep with this form of road construction."

Tom Mix's next western Is to be "Tho Road Demon."

how old you are, or how young, whether you're a cripple or a jail bird, you're got to have money and you've got to have brains, and you'v got a chance to get both 'till your heart stops beating." So says William C. Durant, a man f9 years old, who started as a cigar salesman in Boston at 19 and in the next succeeding 34 years piled up a fortuno of $134,000,000. "A man said to me, 'You're a nut to go to work at Ave In the morning; what do you want to do, ruin your health?' "He had me wrong. Sometimes I'm at my desk at 4 a. m. If you do something out of the ordinary and accumulate a bag full of money, you're a nut or a crook or both, say the critics. Trouble is they're not critics, but nuts." City Manager. Durant quit selling cigars to become secretary of tho city water board in Flint. Mich. Ho was 21 then. Ho reorganized the plant. So successful was ho that the management of the town was placed in his hands. When 24 he discovered that the two-wheel roadsters had 4osslbllItifs among farmers and began to manufacture them. He called his produce tho Blue Ribbon Roadster ind In three years wa eelllng 100,000 each 12 months. Then came automobiles and Henry Ford. Henry Ford eaid "I'll win without Wall st." Durant said: "I'll go to Wall st." Ho did. He incorporated and fold stock. J He started with the Bulck and then became builder of the Cadillac, Chevrolet. Uldsmoblle, Oakland, Scrlpps-Booth, O. M. C. trucks and' Samson tractors. Then lie blossomed forth aa head of the General Motors corporation. He was worth $134.000,000. Last fall there was a crash. Wall st. took over Durant's interest in General Motors, the only concern known as a billon dollar affair. "That's tho end of Durant," said many. Durant smiled at the "crash." He had 91,000 persons on his pay roll and had manufacturing plants in 48 cities. He still has both, and in December last ho started the Durant Motors, Inc., took out a charter in Albany, and sold one billion shares at no par value. "Nothing counts but thought," he says.

"At four or live In the morning, when the zero hour is past, energy, thought, vision are at their peak, if you've slept quietly and without dreaming. "Train yourself to do that; you can! Conquer habit; conquer desire; make both serve you. Smile all the time; even when a corn hurts. You're never licked until you're dead, and then you'ro not licked." Too Dong to Sleep. Say a man lives to be a hundred, explains Durant. He sleeps one-third of that time. That Is 33 years. That Is a long time to sleep when all eternity is before you, he adds whimsically. "Work and thought never killed anyone," he says. "I work because I like to do things."

"To what one thing, more than any other, do you attribute your success," I acked. "X try to never make the same mistake twice," he answered. Durant is of medium height, with a fllenderness which elves the Impression of a greater height than the measuring rod would ßhow; long of feature and thinnlsh aa to hair, he does not readily fit into any of the usual classifications of men.

New York and Ohio In the number of motor vehicles is again in New York's favor.

COLFAX COMPANY TAKES UP SELLING OF PACKARD CARS J. C. Samuels Made Service Manager Offers Twin and Sincle Sixes.

Tho Collar Cc. on March 1 will assume the sales and service quarters formerly occupied by direct branch representation of the Packard Motor Car Co. of Chicago at 736 Lincoln way. W.f for the distribution and service in St. Joseph. Importe. Elkhart anä Marshall counties of the Packard twin six and the new Packard single pIx. An adequate stock of parts and accessories for Packard cars will be carried and representative Packard service will be maintained and available at all times. J. C. Samuel. who has had over six years' experience with the Packard product has been appointed service manager and will most efficiently care fcr service needs. The new Packard single six meets the demand for a high-quality, moderate priced and economical car, which has never before been supplied in American automobile manufacture. Its field is entirely different from that of the twin six, although it supplements the twin. Meets Old IKadro. For years there has been a growing desire for a car or the highest quality, designed and built Packardwise and therefore able to keep out of the repair ?hop the longest and require the least attention from its owner or driver, but more economical in operation, of shorter wheelbase and lighter weight than the twin Fix. Tho demand has been for a general purpose car of groa.t eae of maneuvering in traffic; one that would park in a hort space at the curb, and one that would give unuaual gasoline ind tire mileage. The Packard has met these demands in the tingle rix. It has learned a great deal through Its experience in designing high grade passenger cars, and also through Its work in designing and manufacturing airplane motors during and fcince the war. It hss taken several years for the development and perfection of this new Packard. The car will be manufactured alongside the twin six, by the same matured and experienced organization. It will have service from the same experienced service men. It is a companion and supplement to tho twin. Except for the advantages which can only be obtained with weight and long wheel-base, it has all the qualities of the twin. The greatest obtainable comfort, the maximum power, and the utmost ability on the road must always be found In the large, heavily constructed car. That Is the field in which the twin six is supreme. In this new car, Packard has not attempted to compete in that field, but instead to produce an active, easily operated, high class. Ught car. with all the elements of up-to-dateness, efficiency and economy of operation. It 1 because of the engineering and manufacturing skill embodied in the engine that the single six is declared to be good for 10 years of service, since it has been so carefully designed and balanced that no one part will wear out before another. It is the quality of the engine that gives the car a gasoline

mileage of up to 17 miles to the gallon, according to the driver and the condition of th roais, that permits it to run 2.000 mih on a gallon of oil, th it givea it a tiro mileage of from 15. .00 to -5,0 DO mile? to a tire, that lets it operate, at from 2 to f.0 miles an hour o.i high gear, and that permits It a p'.ck-up of 25 miles inside of 15 f-ocor.rts.

As well as the Auto If you could get a 10 perc-nt reduction of the price of the car you want by going a block farther down the street, you would be inclined to go to that much trouble. Do you know that the actual intrinsic value of the service and responsibility that a good dealer can put into any car he sells is often worth more than 10 percent of the car cost, in the first season? It isnt the price of the car so much as it is the performance of the car, and that depends much on the man who sells it to you. Cleveland Six $1465.00 With Cord Tires F. L. Mendez & Co. Inc. 217 E.
