CLOSE INSPECTION
ON DIAMOND TIRES

In the manufacture OF a Diamond
tire more than thirty separate inspec-
tions are made, not including those on
the raw material before It is delivered
to the tire builders.
Each part of tire is inspected sew
eral times while being made, and in
each operation of assembling and
building up a casing it is again in
spected. Finally, the finished tire,
when ready for shipment. is given a
final inspection.
For example, if bead or a tread
is followed through the various pro-
cesses involvedi one may see that even
the machines which make them are
under constant inspection and that at
each step Of the subsequent manual
operations every piece is again care
fully inspected
In the Diamond factory there is an
endless chain of inspections by men
trained to see things, each group be-
ing supervised by a head inspector.
These men are on constant watch
for any possible defect in material and
workmanship Every tire builder
knows that the inspectors word is
final, and that unless his work meets
the rigid requirements it will be re.
1ected. To this constant and careful
inspection by a score of trained mer
is due, to a large extent. the uni.
formity and high quality Of Diamond
tires.

WORM-DRIvE TYPE.

The worm drive as a subject for
discussion among truck users and
makers has been a mighty live one for
year past, or ever since the Pierce
Arrow Motor Car Company announced
its adoption of this type for its five
ton trucks. Most people have been
handicapped. however, in any talk
there might be, because of not having
had an opportunity to examine the
actual gear at close range. Even the
novice in motoring affairs is familiar
with the chain drive. and bevel gears
have been shown by the dozen at the
various shows. But the exhibition OF
motor trucks at Madison Square Gar
den was the first in this country at
which an actual worm gear with the
differential in place has been shown.

rSa AfasBowlers Have Big NghOdd and Ends of City Sport
OLDSMOBILE CARS
SPLENDIDLY EQUIPPED

With features many Of which are
In a way novel and yet conforming
to the best practice, the Oldsmobile
handled in this city by the Penn
sylvania Avenue Garage stands in the
front rank of cars offered for the
1911-12 season. In this, its 14th year
this well-known make is built IN
three types Of chassis which the MAX
ers designate the Limited, the Auto
crat and the Defender.
There are probably few motorists
who are unacquainted with the Olds-
mobile Limited This big six-cylinder
car with its long wheel base and large
tires-which, by the way, have been
increased in size to 43x5 inches on
the latest model touring cars of this
type-never fails to attract favorable
attention.-It is the car de luxe of
the Oldsmobile line, and one of the
most beautiful cars now on the mar
ket.
In point of numbers sold during the
last season, the leading Oldsmobile
model was the four-cylinder Auto
crat. This car bids fair to be even
more widely distributed this season
than last. and is continued with such
changes as have been found to add
to the beauty and comfort of this
already popular model.
Special features which make for
added comfort for the motorists are:
Ventilated fore-doors on all open
types OF bodies, these being Of exclu-
sive Oldsmobile pattern; automatic
head lighter for gas head lamps
(operated from drivers scat; elec-
trio side and tail lamps; compression
release on Limited and Autocrat
models; foot scrapers on running
boards; exposed metal parts finished
in black enamel and nickel, and many
other refnements which must be seen
to be appreciated.
II is doubtful if there is to be found
more completely equipped series OF
cars than the Oldsmobile line. Each
model is so fitted out that there can
be nothing more to be desired in the
wav of accessories. as windshlelds,
tops and speedometers are standard
throughout

MAKERS RUSH TO
THE SELF-STARTER

Up TO this season. only one passen-

self starter Then. in July. the Chal-
mers company announced for the 1912
season the first medium-priced car
with self-starter. the 49, which has
compressed air starter as a regular
equipment.
Since then there has been a rush to
get self-starters on the market. Now,
virtually all of the standard makes.
with but a few exceptions. provide

tional equipment And those who

TWO PLANS TO
SAVE ALTOONA
Sale Of Stock and Pledges for
Season Books at $50 Apiece
to Bring Results
IMPROVEMENTS
OVER THE CIRCUIT

Reports from the Tri-State circuit
have been little more encouraging
during the past week
Lancaster Is looming up strong as a
possibility and there is a movement
among men with the cash at Altoona
that is expected to show willingness
on the part of the hackers TO 60 ahead
for another season. If there is to be
a club, new grounds will not be neces-
sary, as was expected With assur-
ance from both Altoona and Lancas-
ter, Allentowns chances of getting
league baseball this season, unless 1t
be with the outlaws, will pass away.
Referring to conditions in Altoona
the Gazette says:
Two plans have now been propos-
ed by President w. II. McEldowney
and Secretary Bert Leopold, of the
Altoona Tri-State club, which may
bring the organization out of its fin
ancial troubles One is to have those
who retain an interest in tho club
to subscribe stock at $50 per shar
and another is to have 100 fans pleage
themselves TO season books, at 500
apiece These books are transfer
able and will admit the holder to the
grandstand or boxes.
BY February 1 the Altoona officials
must hand in their bond to President
Charles r. Carpenter. assuring him
that they viii be in the race for 1912.
The blanks are now in the hands Of
President McEldowiey. The bond is
for $4,000. If THIS bond is not return
ed the franchise/w be taken over by
President Carpenter. as a protection
TO the rest o9 the clubs in the league,
and will By disposed Of by him as he
sees flt Tn that case he viii prob
ably seV the franchise to some other
city. Yhxious TO get into the Tri-State
gamT The league itself can also OPP
ersNe the club. but this is not likely

Of the Tri-State League will probably
be held IN Philadelphia, as many OF
the delegates have expressed desire
TO have Il at that place At that time
the schedule, which IN a few weeks
will be prepared by President Carpon-
ter, will be ratified and other neces-
