How Tires Are Made

is replaced by an air bag-an extra strong
inner tube. And instead OF being clamped
in an iron mould it is wrapped about with
many layers Of strong tape and is then
cured (vulvanized) in live steam. The COM
pressed air bag smooths out all the irregu-
larities In the layers as your hand smooths
out wrinkles in a garment-there can be
no hidden ridges or hollows to induce
blowouts and cut down the milage. But

Besides these two methods OF tire max

Rubber people. The tire Is first put on the

by live steam until the rubber has expanded

the fuel does not drip from the base of the

The first and more makshift of the two

This does not entirely obvlate jumping, but

promptly whenever 1t hops. Wire was then
bound round the bottom threads of;the boss
to prevent the cap screwing itself down
and binding the needle down altogether.
Another plan is to drill a hole in the top
Of the cap and use a set screw and lockout
to damp the needle; ind yet a third is to ut
a light spring soldered to a disc or
thimble inside the cap, which resIsts the
jumping Of the needle. allowing the gaso-

The remark was made in response

News of the discovery shocked the

assumed that all the $50 or so of little
ones who were in the orphanage Mon
day night had been saved by the hero
ism of the Sisters of st. Joseph and
nearby residents.
1t was proved by the discovery that
when the sisters ran to the head of

in the rear ranks, crazed with fear,
acted as do dumb brutes. They
plunged back into the flames, burrow-
ing under mattresses or getting behind
doors.
Five children had concealed them
selves under mattresses and two hid
beneath clothes in closet. All were
suffocated, physicians say, before the
flames reached their bodies.

tuberculosis had reduced the death

the population from 2.42 per 1000 in
1902 to 2.39 per 1000 in 1907, and 2.29
