Glidden trophy for the tires showing the least
cost in the great tour which was finished las !
week. Thirteen cars in the run were equipped
with Diamond tires and of these nine made per-
feet scores None of the Diamond tires were
penalized and there were only five blowouts reg
istered against them. This cup has been won
by the Diamond tires every year since the Gid
den tour was Instituted.

trouble in the Glidden tour the Diamond company
again this year has kept tab on the number OF
extra tires required by all the carssas means
of showing tire results on a basis OF mileage
cost. The figures covering the record of last
wear are made up with $65 as the average
yyaIne of tires of different makes in use. The
total of S6.175 for last year,Lit should be un-

DECLINE IN NUMBER OF

the number Is over 700 less than l2

increased 100000. In one leading
denomination the loss has been 33
per cent, while the membership has
increased over 250,000. Historic
