The Cause of Rim-Cutting

The difference lies in the fact that
No-Rim-Cut tires don't need to be
hooked to therim. There are l26 braided
piano wires vulcanized into the base.
This makes the base so unstretchable
that it can't be forced of without re-
moving the rim fange. No hooks and
no tire bolts are needed.
When the tire is inflated these braided
wires contract. The tire is then held
to the rim by pressure of 134 pounds
to the inch.
This is the only practical method to
make an unstretchable tire base. A
hard rubber base or single wire won't
do. The braided wires which contract

girl amusement question:" Mrs. Philip
n. Moore OF ST. Louis, president of
the National Federation made plea
for a federal law to regulate river ex-
cursions, which she denounced as a
ringing evil and temptation in the
downfall of young women. She spoke
of the temptations that befell girls
who receive such low wages that they
are forced to accept questionable
invitations for amusement.
The moving picture show leads
many young girls to their downfall,
said Minnie Starr Granger, president
of the Illinois federation.
Judge Edwin X. Walker of Chicago,
speaking on the question from a
mans standpoint said that the ranks
of the Scarlet women" were steadily
being augmented. He blamed mothers
for much of this state of affairs, say
ing that the time has come when
ignorance and innocence should not
be synonymous terms.
