in I'exas. It iy reported that no lo: m
than ten teams will compete, w.iich is
by tar th«• greatest number of academy

a tragic meet.
The first of the world's famous racing
pilots who will take part in the champion*

feature of the Fiesta San Jacinto reached
San Antonio Saturday.
Louis Disbrow of New York and Wild
Bill Kndicott of Indianapolis arrived
from the North, accompanied by their
mechanics and their press manager. They
were delayed twenty-four hours by the
rains and floods, which washed away part
of the railroad tracks In Arkansas and
had to detour several hundred miles.
Both drivers are \\«11 known in San An-
tonio, although they have never been
Feen i/ notion hero before. Disbrow
through his wonderful work at Galveston
last summer became very popular with
all Texas auto speed followers and lDn-
dieott made many friends while attend-
ing '.lie races at the Dallas fair.
Both drivers have new racing creations
to show here and they will undoubtedly
be great favorites in the racing that will
feature the flower carnival.

At <ialveston last summer Disbrow low-
ered vhe beach record for a mile from
J17 ascends to ;{<):il seconds and also
won tin three big feature events on the
program. Probably no driver ever car-
ried off greater honors at any meet than
the wonderful little New Yorker. ,
At the Sau Antonio meet Disbrow will
have a great deal harder sledding than at
the Galveston races .where his cars were
much filter than any others competing
there. 1?UI Endlcott, who arrived on the
amo train with Disbrow, has a new rac-
ing machine which has never been work-
< <1 out and which is of the same type as
the famous Sunbeam machine, winner of
the lifcht car championship of the world
in Europe; Joe Nikrent, holder of seven
world s speed marks and a member of
the great Caw racing team, which rep-
resents the J. i. Case T. M. Company,
the ''idlest, firm In the world engaged In
the manufacture of pleasure automobiles,
and M. K. Kilpatrick of New York, driv-
er of th< nrii'.e-winnlng Pirate racer, the
fastest 300-eubic-inch car in the world,
and several other noted daredevils will
give Disbrpw a hard battle before the
purses are distributed which have been
hung uo by the San Antonio Automobile
Club for its Fiesta program of events.
None of the great racing machines that
this group of drivers will pilot in Ban An-
tonio have ever been seen here before
and tins fact alone will make the coming
flower carnival program one of the most
attractive ever staged In Texas.
Four of the drivers who will be seen
in action here will move direct to In-
dianapolis; where they will drive the same
^;ii that are to be seen in action at. San
Antonio. Two of these machines are
straight from the big Case automobile
factory at Racine, Wis., and will be seen
h.re for the first time. They are built
along the very latest racing lines and are
equipped with wire wheels.
EFFECTIVE LOADING PLAN
Tliis Company Protected Against
Freight Car Shortage.
To help the railroads and thereby make
possible the prompt delivery of the 1913
automobile crop is the task which Detroit
manufacturers are now facing. Competi-
tion for empty freight cars Is already
keen, a real famine in rolling stock Is
pr* dieted for April and May.
At least one of the big .manufacturers
meets this crisis well prepared. This is
th' Ktudebakei Corporation, which has
Just made an investment of over
in the \ety latest facilities for swift, effi-
cient handling of freight. Studebaker
cars are now leaving this new loading
plant by the hundred, on schedule, two
train loads at cnce.
Students of traffic conditions are In-
terested In the Studehuker loading plant

the striking way by which lt solves a

In commenting on this n«w scale of [
prices H. M. Bacon, xal^s manager of i
DiaiuonJ tires, said: "This pri^e re-due- i
tiou is simply the result ol several con* ;
ditlons that have worked out for the
benefit of aH tire buyers. We are en-
abled to make a lower price on Diamond
tires because we have been working with
that object in view for a long time.
"In the first place," continued Mr.
Bacon, "we have been building tires for
sixteen years; in fact, we built the flr.it
pneumatic automobile tiro in America.
"When wo first started building auto-
mobile tires that department <> 'cupi ■«!
one corner in a small room. That little
workshop factory has grown In six' . ii
years until now it covers many acres.
Ihe old, inaccurate process of building
tires by hand was done away with in our
plant long ago. The huge buildings
wlu-re tires are made, covering many
acres, are a mass of whirling, humming
machinery, which goes day and night,
doing its work with an accuracy and
skill beyond that of the most dexterois
hands. This machinery goef day after
day, night after night, building today
N\lth the same accuracy it did yesterliy.
It can't forget—it can't make a mistake-
it never misses a stroke—every operation
is absolutely coirect
' Tire building In the old (lays was far
from being the scientific process we
make it today—not only in the nroews
of manufacture but in testing the raw
materials and finished product.
"From the time the pure gum rubber
is taken from the tree until it goen Into
the tire it is put through a scientific
process of inspection and chemical tests
until we are absolutely sure the quality
is such that it in fit to become a par!
of a Diamond tire. The cotton which
goes to make the fabric Iri the tiro is
taken through a similar routine of scien-
tific tests and inspections.
"In our laboratories alone, which are
said to be the heart equipped in the tire
iildustry, wo employ a force of mor>
than twenty •five experienced chemists
uho are continually testing the materi'tls
that go into pur tires, and searching for
i.ew proeowseii of building tires with more
road resistance. It was in this labora-
tory that the process of malting vitalised
rubber vw.s discovered.
"Th" one aim of our company frnn
the time we built the first , utotno die
tire has been to constantly build better.
We begin with the raw material ami in
every process of manufacture to ;he
finished product we use nothing but the
most thorough and scientific methods
known to 'the industry. To bull 1 better
we must not only inspect and test the
raw material, but we must inspect and
test the linished product
"Jn the early days ot the industry we
couldn't test tires as thoroughly is we
do now. Todaj we have spec! • sting
machinery in our factory and a hi., fleet
of motor cars, which is used exclusively
for road testing. After a tire has beeii
given the lest it is taken info the labo-
ratory and dissected under the skillful
eye« of our experts, who can detect the
Slightest flaw.
"lt Is this combination of hug- fac-
tories, vitalised rubber, specially de-
signed tire-building machinery—constant
research investigations by our chemists
to discover economical methods of com-
pounding rubber and <areful inspection
0 till our products before goimr on the
market and the Motion-wide distribution
of our goods, that has enabled us to
build up a volume of business, and it ia
this tremendous volume that enabled us
to sell tires at so reasonable a price to
tne consumer.
"Jn fact," said Mr. Uacon, "the con-
sumer of tires Is certainly getting: the
best of It today, as the tire business is
conducted on a basis that leaves the
manufacturer and dealer but a very
small margin."

tions that It has been found necessary to
establish a parts depot In central Europe

C. U. Dunlap, export manager of tn»»
Hupp Motor Car Company, "In which
we have been developing our export bus!
ness we have been greatly handicapped
by the fact that we are so far from the
seat of operations.
"Notwithstanding this fact, and also
the antagonism whieh certain foreign
manufacturers have continually tried to
arouse against our cars, the Hupmoblle
export trade hah rapidly Increased, until
today we lake one out of every five cars
built In Detroit for foreign shipment
"Of course, you know accident* will
happen to th«* best built <ars; and one
of th»« most serious obstacles with which
we have to contend is furnishing repair
