" Where ' number 83. I saw her
.round here a couple of minutes ago
looking pretty good."
"She's gone to the hospital to be
operated on. I guess you'll find her
in Ward Two."...
That isn't war talk, but simply a
eouple of mechanics at the Chevrolet
factory in Oakland discussing what
happened to a car which had just been
ibrought m by a tester. .
The new 'hospital' installed at the
ibig Oakland plant is. designed to take
eare of cars which have failed to come
lip to the high, efficiency demanded by
the road force. like a regular hospital,
the 'operations' are performed in
'wards' and to carry out .the idea
further specialists in distinct sections
of motor car anatomy use their
mechanical tool kits like a doctor em
ploying his knives and saws. "'
A valve-in-head "2 man power"
grass cutter is employed at the big
Oakland factory of the Chevrolet Mo
tor Company of California to cut the
eleven acres of green surrounding the
modern buildings. The big green
stretches were trimmed by the old stylo
mower until a bright mechanic in the
Chevrolet shops built an automatic
machine from discarded parts. The
'1918 model' has been designated, as a
"two man" machine because it has
speed enough to go just twice as fast
as a man will walk unless it is cut
down to a half throttlo.

Axles for the new Chevrolet one ton

are being made entirely in California.
The billets are cast at a foundry con

Oakland factory The housings are al
so cast there, and fitted and refined

Exporting Many Autos
to Foreign Countries
"Cars and trucks have been going out
of the Detroit factory of the Maxwell
company for foreign ports with a regu
larity that -is surprising when one con
siders the extreme difficulty in ship
ping goods during the war.
One of the most recent orders to ar
rive in Detroit and which shipment has
been starjed was for Klauber Trading
corporation a new dealer at Dalny, Man
churia. The ears and trucks go to Har
bin, where there is now considerable nn
r(8tthe town being filled with sol
diers from various countries.
Other towns which orders have twen
or are being filled are: Soerabaja, Java;
Valparaiso, Chili; Bordeau, France Mel
bourne, Australia; Antofagastan, Chili;
Grenada, West Indies; Monteviedo, Ur
uguary; Buenos Aiws, Argentine; Gua
dalajara, Mexico; Havana, Cuba; To

China.
United States Tires, Too,
Will Meet increased Demand
Prising need for much greater space
in which to manufacture United S.fltcs
solid truck tires, which have had such
huge sales that the output has more
than doubled in quantity in the past two
years, is the reason given by the United
States Bubber company for its rec.nt
purchase of the large manufacturing
plant of the American Locomotive com
pauy at Providence, B. I.
The property immediately adjoins the

Auto More Valuable In
War Than In Peace
- j
The automobile in 1018 is moro valu
able and important in war, than In
peace, an absolute necessity of tint
nation, says Lee L. Gilbert, ,Elgin '.'0"
distributor. ', 4 1
Tho great problem of today is trans
portation, and 'he automobile helps to
solve the problem. Tlw light powerful
gas engine is independent of rails and
roads, inexpensive, swift, adapted to all
work, of trade, of industry, railroads
and, steamships. The business man, the
busy tanner ,tlie fruit man and the
stock man, moving rapidly from plaM to
place, thinking as he goes with comfor:
and speed, is mado infinitely more valu
able by the automobile's power.
J be tanner is the foundation and cor
nerstone of the nation's prosperity.
More fiBaential to success in war than
bullets that kill, for he keeps alive those
thai di the fighting.
Above all, the automobile is the great
est invention of the ago, and is the far
mer's greatest time saver. His light
swift running car takes him to town, to
his neighbor's, to ,'Jie picture show and
back in a very short time ,eujoying ev
ery minute, while his horse saved from
exhaustion, fast driving, continues the
work at the plow, the binder, tho disc
or harrow. Take the automobile from
tho farmer and you take the food of
millions from our world's production.
Every day you hear of the farmer's
increased prosperity; few realize what
the engine and four wheels of the on
tomobile have done to create that pros
perity, and the farm's productiveness.
Jt is the duty of everyone that can af
ford it, to encourago the automobile
nianufaoAirers' as an individual, buy
ing the machine he can afford and ev
ery man can afford to own some ma
chine now. Only tho man whoso time
has no real value, whose brains amounts
to little, whose energy is not worth
while, can truly say, I do not need an
automobile. Buy that machine now.
