NONSK|D TIRES
GAIN IN FAVOR
Motorists Discover Advantages
Other Than Those of
Protection.

The demand among motorists for
pneumatic tires with non-skid treads
is greater than eve before in the his
tory of the tire-making industry.
Perhaps one reason for this is that
manufacturers. during the past two
years, have developed the nonskid
style of tread with marked success
There is, however, a broader explana-
ton for the present popularity ~ this
type of tire. 1t pertains to other ad-
vantages besides protection against
skidding, which motorists have dis
covered tires with raised treads pos
sess.
Outlining these advantages and
commenting on the popularity OF
non-skid tires an official of the United
States Tire Company says:
The best evidence we have of the
wide demand for nonskid tires is the
fact that both our Nobby Tread and
chain tread types are always sold up
far in advance of our production.
There are several reasons why mo-
florists prefer the non-skid style OF
tire. In the first place there is the
ever-present protection against skid
ding. Furthermore, where the tread
is raised, the user gets a much thick
err and heavier wearing surface. This
has the effect of increasing the mile
age rendered by the tire. The man
ufacturer is enabled to place much
more rubber between the tire car
cass and the exposed surface of tbs
tread than can be successfully util-
lied in the ordinary smooth type OF
casing.
with ordinary usage a motorisl
should get hundreds of miles Of serN-
ice out of a non-skid tread before
the tire wears down to the regular
tread surface.
Another advantage which motor
lists claim for heavy non-skid treads
is that they reduce the number OF
punctures, throwing off sharp objects
entirely or picking them up in such
a way that they do not penetrate the
casing or %puncture the tube"

CAR
SURPRISES TRADE
Thirty-Horse Power, Five
Passenger Machine for Less
Than 81 900.

A year ago today New Workers and
Eastern motorists generally were
more than surprised by the sensa-
tional announcement of the WHY'S
Overland Company, relating to a 80
horsepower five-passenger car to sell
for less than a thousand dollars. How
they made good is part Of 1912 auto
mobile history. The C. T.. Silver
Motor Company vas practically
swamped with orders and never
caught up until toward the end Of
the present season.
History now repeats itself approx
imately to the day and the week.
a s will be noted in the current issues
of the metropolitan papers.
Once more the Overland builders Of
fer a thirty-horse power, five-passen-
ger touring car for 1913 to sell for
less than a thousand dollars. The
al has already arrived and samples
OF it have been tent to the different
branches Of the C. T. Silver Motor
Company in Brooklyn, Newark and
Asbury Park. OF course the main ex-
hibition place Is Mr.. Silver main
establishment at 1899 Broadway, Ne&
York. Its formal bow for recoer1I-
ton will be made this week.
1t seems unnecessary to state that
the newcomer puts its predecessor
in the shade, good as it is. Sixty
nine is the official designation Of
the new car. and it is truly a marvel
of value. Last years model seemed
to be the last word in this type Of

BAD ROAD CONSTRUCTION
ON THE WAY TO ALBANY

1t is now practically impossible t.
make the run TO Albany without n
countering some road constructions
On the most direct route along the
east side of the Hudson river the
Albany post road between PeekskiH
and Garrison is still in its long-stana-
ing state of upheaval. This section
is so bad, owing to road construction
and the use of traction engines that
il practically eliminates the route as
a trunk line to Albany There is 4
detour available. but the road is fully
az bad as the main route.
The route via Briercliff. Carmel and
Stormville is the best at the present
time. By going this way. however.
a short stretch of road repair will
be encountered north of Carmel. and
IL will be necessary to go over Storm
vile mountain, which is in poor
shape. Another alternate is to con-
tinue up the Harlem Valley from
Carmel to Pittsield and thence TO
Albany.

heavy spokes.
All Pullman models. are fitted with
tops made of real mohair, having the
distinctive richness and silky lustre
which is only to be found in the gen

The use of a connecting rod between

Ex-COnvicts.

There is q natural prejudice against
the employment Of ex-convicts and IL
ia a pity that IL is we'll founded, for
there are ineorrigibles who will accept
a helping hand only to bite it at the
first opportunity,
This is unfortunate, for there are a
great many men who have become con-
victs through temporary strain OF some
kind and who would make good EN-.
ployes and reliable citizens II o help
ing hand were extended them on theil
re.entrance into free existence.
A newspaper man who was elect
cd sheriff in Pennsylvania county
has been interesting himself in oh
tanning employment for discharged
prisoners and his efforts became know
to Charles M. Schwab and resulted il
an offer to employ one hundred ex
convicts at the Bethlehem steel works
There were not that many TO be had
but some men were furnished
This case directs attention TO th
large numbers of discharged prison
ers every year and the difficulty o
finding places for them. Perhap
those needing help could communi
cate with prison keepers aud thus SO
cure information that would enabl'
them to help those who are deserving
of help.
There is scarcity of labor in man!

opportunities for placing safe ex-pris

Consumption Is Contagious.

Prevention of tuberculosis, says:

home and urged him to go to sana-
torium. He refused to do so: nor
would he dispose of his sputum 80 aa

Preparing for Danger.

The Secretary OF War and the Sec
rotary of the Navy have made appeals
for the creation OF effective reserves
for the various branches of the mill
tary service.
Secretary Stimson urges the passage
OF the Volunteers bill, which would
provide for force of national reserves
without delay. The national militia
pay bill would, if adopted, create out
of the National Guard an effectively
trained force of citizen soldiery, but
IL would furnish only 1000 men, a
number which, even when added to
the regular army, would provide a
smaller force than was raised in any
OF our past wars. The plan for re-
serve would provide a much larger
force OF trained men.
The naval reserve proposition would
allow the reserves TO serve for prac.
tice and keep the volunteers in train
ing and ready to respond to a sudden
call.
Soldiers and sailors cannot be train.
ed in day, no matter how willing O
volunteer force may be. Special
training is absolutely necessary and
the pending propositions would meet
the needs of all branches OF servic
without a serious expenditure.
Congress would do well TO act OF
the suggestions Of Secretaries Slim
son and Meyer and thus provide TO
the time Of need. Unless this is don
now il may not be done until the nee,
actually arises aud then it would in
volve another useless waste of Inf
such as was sacrificed during tn

which they must pay. They insist
upon having every little order of pro-
