From Tribune, February 1s. 1913
Briefly stated. the tire looks like a pncu
matte. rides like a pneumatic. but does
not carry air under pressure. IL Is just
as light as pneumatic and can he built
Just as cheaply and will outwear tho
pneumatic by many thousands OF miles.
Mr., Clark has adopted the principle OF
the pneumatic tire, but uses a circular
band OF steel vulca nized within the tread
OF the tire; this spring Is an equal dis
tance from the inside rim Of the tire or
the rim OF the wheel itself when the tire
IS normal. When pressure or shock on
the tire occurs at the point OF contact
with the ground, the spring must adjust
itself at some other point on the tire,
AS the spring Is hold In place by tho
walls Of the tire at all points. the shock
or pressure at the point OF contact is alb

sorbed equally by the walls of the tire
at all points. II is the same principle
as a wire spoke built-up bicycle wheel
The weight OF rider on bicycle is sus-
pended from the top Of the wheel, and
with Mr., Clark's tire the weight Of the
car is carried by spring suspended
within the tire by the walls OF the tire
Many tire experts in the city believe Mr.
Clark has at last hit upon the right prin-
ciple. and II is merely case Of perfect
Ing the mechanical construction TO make
d perfect tire. In practice the tire al
ready built shows It has more rapid re-
slliency than air and will moro quickly
adjust itself after shock.

Tho heat generated when tire
travels from sixty TO ninety miles an

stand even for a short time. Now add
to this the fact that Decoration day
at Indianapolis was the hottest day on
which this race was ever held-the tenn

WOMEN DRIVERS VS..
PNEUMATIC TIRES

"The ease with which electric vehi-
cles are driven and the dependence
that can be placed upon tire equipmen,
are the fundamental reasons fo- making
the electric the most popular car for
women,' says T. II. Mcclellan. general
manager OF the Motz Tire & Rubber
company, Akron. Ohio.
Women cannot and should not be
expected to crank motor every time
they wish to drive, any more than
they should be expected to repair a
blowout or punctnre.
1t was essential that the mapufac.
turers equip their machines with self
starters. Naturally the woman buyer
was partial TO a machine with this
equipment. This made driving for her
much more of a pleasure as it overcame
large amount of trouble. Therefore
it was up to someone to invent tire
that had all the qualities OF a pneu.
matte tire, and with one thing more
.puncture proof.
"Only by ceaseless delving and sift.
ing. was the ideal Of puncture proof
tire made possible. Fair motorists can
now step into their machines for a
moderately long trip, with the positive
assurance that the repairing of tires
will be the least Of their troubles

Automobile Buying Is
Now on Business Basis


The purchase of an. automobile is be-
ing put more and more on strictly
business basis, according to leading
automobile maker.
THE public is being educated pretty
rapidly to the real values in automo-
biies," the maker continued 'Tn the
early days 1t was largely a proposition
of what the salesman said about the
car. The customer knew nothing about
automobile mechanism or construction,
and he was obliged to take the sales
mans word for practically everything.
But today most automobile owners
who have had car for a few years
know what particular requirements they
want. In their machine. They know just
the type of engine they can get the best
results, from. what sort of axles are
most satisfactory, what proportions are
most desirable in car.
consequently when II comes to SELL

FOCUS Gus Of LAMPS IS
MEASURE OF SAFETY
Automobile Owner Tells How He
Fixes Headlights to Cover
Most Territory.

Every motorist tries out the focusing
of his head lamps until their light Is
thrown on the road to his satisfaction
saws an experienced automobile owner.
AT least. the 'fusslng' with this and
other adjustments is contributing
factor In the charm of ownership Of a
motor car. t2.g5F ..a.=
The headlight serves two purposes
for the driver of the, car-it eliminates
the right Of way for him in passing
other vehicles and enables him to avoid
undesirable places in the roadway. The
first purpose Is best served by the
throwing of the light so far ahead as
may be consistent with the other neces-
sIty of an illuminated roadway. This
Is well accomplished by the focusing Ct
the rays Of the left light SO that the
direct rays shine upon the roadway
fifty to lse feet ahead of the car.
:. Now the right lamp-remember, this
is a personal experience and only tells
of one drivers satisfaction. Many
times it Is necessary, and at any time
the need may be urgent. even to con-
stituting, an emergency, 10 turn far cut
to the right In perilous nearness to the
edge Of a. ditch, or into territory where
careful going is imperative. To be pre-
pared, focused my right lamp rays SO
as to give their direct rays upon the
road ABOUT twenty feet directly ahead.
Now. the divergent rays gave ample
ahead at somewhat greater
distance and strengthen the illumina-
ton Of the feebIer downward cast rays
from the left light There is. by, this
adjustment, an almost total avoidance
OF that dark region existing when both
are focused ahead at the same angle.
The strong light is essential. as far
ahead as the strength Of the lamp al
lows, and the strong light is needed,
badly. on the road Just ahead
on the extreme right Of the road.
, The focusing of electric lights (the
rays) may be accomplished for q similar
casting of them by raising or lowering
the bulb. and the concentration or wider
diverging of them by moving the bulb
to the rear or to the front OF the lamp"

One of the real pioneers OF the auto

Charles Z. Miller, OF Miller Bros. In
fact he is the. oldest motor car dealer
here In point OF continuous service In
the business. His first connection with
the business world of the Capital City
dates back to August. 1s92, when he
embarked in the bicycle business at I'M
Pennsyivania avenue, where he sold the
Relay. the first popular priced bicycle
to be placed on the. Washington market
1t. Is an interesting fact that his drst
customer was f.. L Siddons, now a
member of the Board OF Diatrict Com
missioners. Mr.. Siddons purchased q
Relay bicycle, and last week one OF
his first purchases after being inducted
into the ,office Of Commissioner was a
Ford motor car.
In the spring OF issa Miller removed
to t106 Fourteenth street., and shortly
after his brother. Claude E. Miller. was
taken into the firm. The first antomo-a
mobile handled by the two brothers was
the Mobile steamer, and at dinerentI
times theY handled the international.
