Conney Hayes made a great hit with

if he had only made little harder
speed during the first part he would
doubtless have given jackson n hard

the bill was, he said. to make expense

argued along this line, and the inane

Coney interrupted the flow of elo-

aroused the Cannon Ball. who stated
that II the members OF the House did
not want to hear what he had In
say he felt sure the newspaper re-

know where he stood. and why, and
expected the papers to tell them.
He stated that he was the lone Home
Ruler. but was nevertheless the only
one in the House who was supporting
the Delegate in this. because the Del

saw no use for the bill, the same as

GOODYEAR APPLIANCE IS A
BOON TO MOTORIST
w. D. NeWerf Rubber Company Will
Establish Tire Camp with Full
Equipment at Santa
Monica

The w. D. Newerf Rubber company
Is pushing the Goodyear reducing
valve, to be used in connection with
the Goodyear air bottle. The reduc-
ing valve is a unique device which is
set at any desired air pressure. In
use it permits just the desired guam
tity of air-60 pounds, 80 pounds, as
the case may be--to enter the tire, and
no more. The usefulness of the de-
vice is obvious, and it bids fair to be-
come extremely popular with automo-
bile users, who up to this time have
found it difficult to measure out In
advance, so to speak, the quantity of
air intended for the tire.
The w. d. Newerf Rubber company
will establish tire camp at the big
Santa Monica road race. A full equip
ment of tires, air bottles, jacks, etc,
manned by a force of experts, will be
on duty 1t Isl probable that several
of the entries will be equipped with
Goodyear tires.
Over 20 per cent of the entire auto
mobile output of 1909 was fitted with
the Goodyear universal rim. The
Goodyear Tire and Rubber company
has already contracted to deliver
$4,000 sets of this rim for the equip
ment of 1910 motor cars.
Goodyear endless motor truck tires
have just completed an unusually hard
test in New York, according to reports
received by the w. d. Newerf Rubber
company. The tires were used on one
of the heavy, double decked buses on
Fifth avenue. One tire stood up under
q 1854 miles of usage and the other
1924 miles. This is 80 per cent more
mileage than has been given any other
tire the company has ever used.
