If there is any one thing that con-
| tributes most toward premature tire
| destruction 1t is declared to be travel
! ing on tires that are not sufficiently
inflated. Many motorists give so little
care to their tires that the first init
nation OF their improper condition
comes when a muff1ed sound or a jolt,
! caused by one of the wheels coming
the road, discloses the fact that the
rim is touching the ground.
The envelope is then patched,
new tube fitted and garter put on
for the purpose of increased strength.
The driver then proceeds to the near
est garage, where new envelope is
obtained the damaged one being left
for repair Nearly always it is found
that the tread is the only part of the
envelope that has not been totally de-
stroyed. The beads are found to be
broken or torn away. The walls of the
envelope are scored and scraped inside
and out The canvas Is torn and fray
ed and has broken away from the rub
Der. The envelope has lost its shape
entirely; its several parts are disinte-
grated.
The tube. replaced on the road, which
was perhaps new or nearly new when
the journey started, has been torn be-
yond all hope Of repair and scraped
and scored all over, some Of the In
thickness Of the rubber itself
All this delay, trouble and expense
are the direct result of travelling on q
Debated tire, whereas periodic inspec-
ton of the air pressure would have
entirely prevented the damage.

WINDS BAR FISHING.
Receipts From All Sources Small
Because Of Turbulent Weather.

Receipts of fresh fish from all sources
along the Atlantic coast have oeen lighter
the last few days than they have been
at any time in several weeks, caused,
the dealers state. by high winds prevent
ing the fishermen from working their
nets with any regularity. No increase in
receipts are looked for at the wharf
market until in the middle Of the coming
week. AS consequence the good de-
mand brought by cooler weather condi-
tions has caused a sharp advance in
wholesale prices, which are now higher
than they have been in several weeks
Yesterday there was large num-
Der Of dealers at the wharf trying to buy
stock for their uptown trade and prices
were as follows. Bluefish, to cents a
pound: salmon trout, 10 cents a pound

20 cents a pound; white perch. 8 to 10
cents a pound: mackerel, IL to 1917 cents

The Ideal Tire

The No-Rim-Cut tire. our patented
type. has become the most popular tire
In existence.
The control of this tire. In the past
two years, has increased our tire sales
by 500 per cent.
Over 700, 900 have been sold to date.
And the dood-iike demand now COM
pels capacity of $500 per day.
All because this is the one practical
tire which can't rim-cut. And because
Il is made 10 per cent oversize, adding
Is per cent to the average mileage.
This patented tire. which costs moth
ing extra. is saving motor car owners
many millions per year.
