|ACTUAL METHOD
| OF MAKING TIRES
LONG AND PARTICULAR PROCESS
INVOLVING MANY DELI
CATE DETAILS.
ONE AIM is TO HAVE ALL TIRES
OF SAME DURABILITY

For many years it has been tn;
practice of manufacturers of automo
bile tires to maintain an atmosphere
of the utmost mystery regarding the
various processes and trade secrets
that enter into the manufacture Of
their products. Each manufacturer
has endeavored to create the impress
sion that in his particular factory
there We're employed a number of Sc
cret methods on which he relied fol-
the superiority of his tires. This arr
OF secrecy has, become almost a ira

troubles are caused by tires, have the
remotest idea of how these bother.

This description of the methods by
which crude rubber is converted into

to most automobiles in view of the
fact that it is the first time that the

scenes with reference to this indus.

TO begin with, tire factory is not
permeated with the frightful smell
that one associates with burning rub.
Der. The rubber is neither burned nor
cooked at any stage of it's evolution.
The raw rubber comes to the fac.
tory in the shape of humps, and the
first process is passing these through
a series of nasticating' machines,
which literally chew it up into small
bits. At the same time the rubber

A Forest Destroyer.

you do not know the turpentine
tappers, but If you come to Florida
you will find them out" writes E. p.
Powell in Outing. 1T is a curious
business that will deliberately destroy
all the forests of a half dozen states
for little immediate gain: and still
more curious is the lassitude that
allows the destruction to go on. The
French have method Of tapping
trees which gives a profitable re-
turn and leaves the trees practically
uninjured. In this way an industry
Is perpetuated, but our American
tapping is another thing. The trees
are cut with broad ak, hewing out
great slices and leaving scars from
which the resin flows into boxes at
the bottom of the cut and is scraped
once a month into casks. The cut
is repeated each year, and in six or
seven years the tree is exhausted.
So go great forests of pine that
stand eighty to one hundred feet
high. leaving us thousands Of acres
OF standing lumber which win be
cut down by portable sawmilIs. The
end of it all is haggard waste"

Thomas seemed much dissatisfied
at his mothers apparent lack OF

the Patriot, like the Bella, never came
to port. Whether she was wrecked by
the elements, sunk by the British or
looted by pirates, people speculated
at the time. But the most persistent
rumor was that she had been cap
tured by pirates and her crew and
4 passengers held in ransom. This,

two men, about to be executed in
Norfolk, confessed that they and other
shore pirates had lured the Patriot on

after blindfolding all on board had

Mrs. Aston shared this fate was con-
sidered doubtful by many, who took
into account her wealth and he abil-

maintained that she was later taken
