NEW TRUCK TIRES Single and Dual Tires Can Be Changed Without Re
 moving the Wheel

An epoch-marking step toward per- lection Of tire equipment for motor trucks has just been accomplished by the United States Tire Company, which has placed on the market new tire branded United States Standard Tire (DemountabIe)
 This new tire is the first to meet all requirements of specifications re- gently adopted by the Society of Au- tomObile Engineers. And what is even more to the poi1t it solves many of the problems O. truck operators who have experienced delays and difHcul- ties .r r1aking tire replacements.
 The t<le big feature of the tire which will appeal forcefulIy to truck owners is that through it's use both single and duel tires can be changed without re- moving the wheel from the truck And replacements can be made DJ- any ordinary workman in jess than one-half the time required with styles of fastening that have heretofore pre- vailed. There are at present single solid tires possessing demouDta6Ie fea- lures which admit Of their removal without taking off the wheel, but the United States Tire Company's Stand ard Tire is the first to be marketed iD which this is possible in both single and dual tires
 These demountable features are pos sib1e through making the inside dam cCOr or IIC llIc OeHd IA4 CC-C45 ~1tA47 C- an inch greater than the outside diam eter of the wheel This additional size gives a clearance between the tire band and the wheel band of three- sixteenths of an inch. Into this open space wedges are forced, which ara part of the fanges- In making re- placements it is only necessary to take off the fange wedges and remove the tire
 The tire itself is built on a steel band with layer of hard rubber be- tween the band and the soft rubber tread. The band has a seTrated perl phery so as to form a dove-taiIed seat for the hard rubber.
 Unusual wearing qualities are claim ed for the new tire.

Bryan Rooms Foss For Nomination
 Of President
Especial from United Press.)


 Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 1e-Praise of Governor Foss as a Presidential pos sibility and 'criticising Harmon and Underwood, features the first page of Bryan's editorial comment in today's s issue of the CommOner. Of Foss, Bryan says:
 '"The reelection of Governor F'oss, in MaSSa achuSettS, on a radical plat form, advances his stock in the Pres idential market. If you are a pro- gressive Democrat, read the MaSsa- chusetts platform and the election re- turns, and then ask yourself, Whats the matter with FosS?'
 ''I take pleasure in calling attention to the fact that Governor Foss is not only one of the men to be considered but to the further fact that his claims upon the party have been materially strengthened by the endorsement just given him by the voters of Massachu- Setts.'
 Concerning Harmon, Bryan declares the Ohio governors strength is shift ing to Underwood. As to the latter, Bryan says:
 His nomination would, however, be unfortunate for the south, for his de- feat would be wrongfully charged to his location instead of being charged as it should be, to the fact that he is not in harmony with the progress sive spirit of the day."

Planning to Abolish
Working on Sunday

General decrease of work in the post
offices OF the United States on Sundays
will be accomplished by the Postofflce
Department, Postmaster General Hitch
cock announced today. The benefits to
the letter carriers and the small in
convenience to the patrons of the Wash
ington postoffice resultant from the
suspension of Sunday delivery of mail
by the carriers have attracted much at
tentiOn. They are expected to cause an
extension of the policy to other parts Of
the service, in which at present as little
work as possible is laid upon employees
on Sundays.
Postmaster n. A. Merritt, of Washing
ton, said today that only eight persons
have protested against the order re1ev-
Sundays, and that many citizens had
expressed their pleasure at the rest af-
forded the employees.
Mr. Merritt expects soon to make a
close investigation of the merits of the
plan to install letter boxes on street
cars Such an auxiliary method of col
lecting mail he said, seemed to offer
many advantages of promptness, but its
feasibility could be determined only
after cost, including installation of the
boxes and the collection of mail, had
been aScertained.
Theoretically, at least. the service
would make 1t possible for patrons of
the office TO place their letters in the
Washington poStOffice within few
minutes after their deposit on street
cars far distant. 1t would be especially
advantageous to persons in the suburbs.
