AUTOMOBILE TIRES.
An Important Question That Has Not
Yet Been Settled.

An Important Question That Has Not
Yet Been Settled.
The tire question is one for which
the manufacturers of automobiles haye
not yet found satisfactory answer
The most vulnerable part of tie vehicle
is the rim of the wheels, and in order
to insure comfort, safety and beauty
experiments have been made by nearly
ell manufacturers which involved
much more expense than is known to
the people outside of the business. The
monster pneumatic tires are unsightly
and give the vehicles ponderous and
unwieldly appearance, besides being
expensive. In order to overcome these
objections tires of various sizes, shapes
and designs have been made and are
being used for the purpose of determin-
ing which is the most practicable.
Among the recent patterns is a
square tire with corrugated surface,
which is a great improvement on the
old balloon in looks, although its manu-
facturers have not tested it sufficient
ly to give an opinion on it's lasting
properties. Some of the newest pleas
ure vehicles have narrow wheel and
a tire correspondingly small, and the
life of these tires is also being watched
closely.
'Only careful investigation" said n
manufacturer, will solve the prob
lem. We have nothing except the BIZ
cycle tire to go by and must get our
knowledge through expensive expert
ments"
The cost of rubber tires justifies n
large outlay for the purpose of discov-
ering which is the most durable pat
tern and design. Tires cost from SO
to $50 each, and some of the special
patterns are still more expensive The
experiments with the various tires are
being watched with much attention
by the people who are interested in
the horseless trucks. because the heavy
vehicles will require tires of great
strength. The solid rubber tire has
been used with some success in heavy
vehicles and is having its share of at
tention in the tests which are now be-
ing made.-New York Tribune.

At this moment the two Kansas pri-
