A. c. Leonard, manager for W. D.

year tire and rubber company IL this
city, has just received very interest
ing letter from the factory, which tells
of the equipment orders that have been
taken for the tire equipment to be
placed on the cars at the factory.
Leonard said:
Last year we had more than 36 per
cent of the entire factory equipment on
the automobiles built. This year al
ready we have received orders which
go way beyond this percentage and l
feel certain that our advantage will be
further increased before the season is

a result, and many more, who did not
not purchase. declared an intention of
replacing their horse drawn vehicles
with motor driven conveyances in the
very near future. The truck endurance

PRAYER MILLER
WINNING TRUCK

The Prayer Miller truck. which won
Oakland by way of San Jose. was en-
tered by the Standard motor car COM
pany, the local agent. It is truck
rated with a capacity of from two to
two and a half tons. The vehicle car
ried required load of Motorol and
Nonfiuid oil and greases. for which
Hughson & Merton are the local agents.
In speaking of the Prayer Miller,

car company, truck expert, said yes
terday.
"A three and half ton truck which
was recently used by the Oscar S. Levy
construction company of this city for
hauling the heavy pipe for the new
salt water system covered during the
first month 1,042 miles, and the Prayer
Miller carried 667 tons.
AThe expense for the month was $3.50
for oil and s35.35 for gasoline. The oil
was computed at the rate of 25 cents
per quart and the gasoline at 20 cents
per gallon. No repairs of any sort were
made and the driver was paid no more
than a driver of a horse drawn vehicle
would have received.
In the second month the distance
covered was 1,012 miles, and the truck
carried 707 tons. AS in the former
month, no repairs were necessary, and
the truck was worked day and night
with two shifts OF workmen.
THE expense amounted to $3645 for
gasoline and S1407 for oil. It will be
seen that this truck accomplished more
in covering all this distance with such
hard loads than three or four horse
teams could have done. The loads
carried We're heavier, the distance was
covered more quickly and fewer trips
were necessary to accomplish large
contracts of work"

old TIRES ARE
GIVEN NONSKID
Heating VuIcanizing Company
Has Brought Out Something
New in Retreading

The Keaton vulcanizing company of
this city has secured mechanical pat
ent on a new ''nonskid" tread. This
tread is of the all rubber type; there
is no leather, steel or other materials
used in it's construction, only rubber.
The anti-slipping quality on this
tread is obtained by a series of deep
grooves, about a quarter of an inch
wide. having perpendicular walls. some
of which extend across the whole width
of the tread.
The raised portions which these
grooves form are triangular shaped
and present a straight resistance line
in any direction that the tire may have
a tendency to skid. Owing to the depth
of the grooves. practically the entire
life of the tread is ''nonskid."
These treads can be made and vul-
canized on any casing, old or new,
providing the fabric is still intact, so
that it is not necessary to buy new
tires to get the nonskid feature. At
the present time many tires that have
the rubber loosened or torn off by
chains, but that otherwise are in good
shape, can have these nonskid treads
yulcanized on, and the tire will wear
as long as the original tread and en-
tirely eliminate the use of chains.

tically nothing but rocks and ruts
From Staunton to Richmond the run
consisted of $50 miles of red clay roads
leading over the Blue Ridge noun
tains. Heavy rains of the previous
week had rendered the roads almost
impossible and the perpendicular
cliffs bordering the mountain road
were a constant danger. The Colum-
bia destroyed two brand new sets of
tire chains on this mountain trip alone
but the night control was made on
time. Warren, Va, the third days
goal, was reached through rocks and
mud, hub deep. There were numerous
streams to be forded also The final
days run back to Washington was a
repetition of the day before, with road
conditions just as trying. 1t was a
sorry looking lot of cars that strag-
gled into Washington, but a very
thankful lot of ntestants-thankfu

they all agreed that it was the hard
