AUTO NEWS OF THE DAY
Tires Always Suffer Hard Wear
from Safety Devices.
POINTERS FOR MOTORISTS
steel Studded Shoes and Tires
Grip Well on Wet and
,,u Icy Roads.

o. stddding is so frequent a cause OF auto
r,ohnle accidents, both slight and serious
..na, every motorist must decide on some
:. to,r Of protection against it. 1t is, how
ever difficult TO select from the many
.asvices offered the one which will be most
sHective and economical
Anti-skid devices may be divided into
Two main classes-the detachable and the
pon-detachable Steel chains. leather
straps and removable steel-studded leather
treads are perhaps the best known of the
first class. All these are widely used. but
lire manufacturers are agreed that all de-
tachable anti-skid devices are expensive
in the end because of the wear and tear
which they put on tires and machinery.
I IL. chains be fastened tightly to the
wheels. so that they have no freedom to
slip back and forth, 1t will be quickly no.
ticed that the cross pieces are biting away
the tread beneath them. and when removed
will show the tire marked with deeply
gouged cross lines. Experience has proved
that the best way TO use chains is to at
tach them as loosely as possible
Attachments such as removable studded
leather treads while not likely to cut or
gouge the rubber are generally so cumber-
some that they destroy resiliency. In other
words, the tire, instead of absorbing OBJ
structions. rebounds from them and thus
transmits the shock TO the chassis defeat
ing the very purpose for which pneumatic
tires were designed.
. These conditions show the necessity for a
satisfactory anti-skid. Many OF these de-
PEND on some form OF rubber elevation TO
check the skidding of the car. The expert
ence Of many motorists Is that such rubber
non-skids. II used with care, are salts
factory while they last. but that in some
cases the studs or other elevations wear
away rather quickly One set of figures
recently compiled showed that after trav-
cling one thousand miles the average non
skid tire was worn perfectly smooth. Since
most non-skid are considerably more ex-
pensive than those with plain treads, manu-
facturers everywhere are trying TO make
the anti-skid feature more durable.
Finally there is the original type of anti
skid invented by Michelin in which the
rubber tread is reinforced by tread Of
steel studded leather. In the Michelin
aud-skid the leather tread is an integral
part Of the tire and thus does not affect its
resihency, while the steel studs naturally
wear longer than rubber and grip better on
vet or icy roads.

Denver, July 9.-The 10000 Ital-
ians in Colorado are all interested in
the result of the presidential election
this fall and 10000 voters among
them are now planning to make
themselves noticed in this campaign.
Practically all of them are in SYM

If it is found that Wilson is friend
ly towards the race, most of the go
600 votes of the Italians in this state
will be rolled upo for the New Jer-
sey governor. To this end investi-
cations are now being carried on by
some of their influential political
leaders.
Possibly the most influential ItaI-
ian leader in Colorado is Frank Man
cini. editor of II Risveglio. an Italian
semi-weekly published in Denver.
This paper is soon to be made a daily
and will espouse the candidacy of
Woodrow Wilson, provided the dem
Ocratic presidential nominee is
friendly to Italians throughout this
country. To this end there has
been launched in Denver an organ
ization known as the Italian-Ameri-
can league. II already has a mem
bership of 400, all in Denver. Editor
