Birmingham. May !, p. m.-There has
been but slight change in parometric
conditions over the eastern and central
portions of the country during the past
"a hours, and as a result the weather
east of the plains states has continued
fair and pleasant. over the Rocky noun
tain division and the northern half OF
the plains states, pressures have been
falling steadily, and generally cloudy
weather has prevailed in those sections,
with rain in the upper half of the Rock
les and in the northwest. This depres-
sion is closely followed by high,
which on tonight's map occupies the Pa
cifc northwest and the lower Canadian
provinces. 1t has caused a general fall
in temperature over the country west
OF the Mississippi generally, although this
cool change has been augmented by the
cloudy skies, which in high attitudes are
always attended Pby falling temperatures
East of the Mississippi, temperatures
have risen slightly. and in northern sec
tions as much as 10 degrees
In the southern states, the weather has
been fair in all sections but rather cloudy
skies prevailed throughout FeXas at p
m. where also temperatures have be-
gun To fall. In all other sections there
has been a rise in temperatures of about
2 degrees. Fair weather should continue
in this section Friday. Saturday will

KEYNOTE TALK ON
MOTOR TRUCK TIRES

This is the safe and sane advice given
truck owners by NJ. S. Terbush, local
manager Of the Firestone Tire & Rub
Der company. II hits a keynote to
which truck owners ordinarily pay little
or no attention.
There is no question that the major
lty of truck owners of all classes are
more or less subject TO this kind of
madness. - They are ever calling for
more and more mileage, aud do not real.
ize that this mileage, beyond certain
point, must incur losses to pay for the
gain.
The truck tires built and sold by the
Frestone company unquestionably give
all the mileage any one could, within
reason, ask for. This is one of the
strongest points of these supreme serv-
ice tires. But. tire to give mileage
must bo tough and unusually strong.
The less pure rubber there is in tire.
naturally the less resiliency there is.
The less resiiieucy. the less capable
are the tires Of taking up the vibration
Of road shock, and the sidewise vibra-
ton which is increased rather than de.
creased by the springs of the truck.
The more vibration there is, lust that
much moro strain is there on the mech
anism of the truck. You may get mile.
age, but you must be sure, at the same
time, your driving mechanism docs not
suffer because of an unresilient tire

ARMOUR COMPANY
ADOPTS GOODRICH

"One Of the progressive steps during
the current year is the action of owners
of fleets of motor trucks to standardize
their necessary equipment, said *. Is.
Kantzer, local manager of the b. +.
Goodrich company.
"Naturally tires have received the
greatest attention, and many ingenious
tests have been devised to determine
precisely the cost per mile of various
types OF tires"
The excellent theoretical arguments
formerly sufficient to sell truck tires
have given way TO the sounGer and
more practical method whereby tire eff
ficiency is determined. Many of the
largest operators of trucks have made
such tests, and the correctness or the
principles Of construction and quality
of Goodrich wireless truck tires cannot
be better proved than TO give few
practical illustrations.
Armour & Co, after a thorough test
have adopted Goodrich wireless truck
tires as standard and all OF their trucks
in this country and wherever they oper-
ate are equipped with them.
The Cudahy Packing company, the
Consumers company of Chicago, depart
ment stores and in fact manufacturers
in practically every line of business
have found it to their advantage, after
making exhaustive tests, to have all
their trucks equipped with Goodrich
wireless truck tires
The decision in each case was made
on the basis Of cost per mile, although
riding and ock-absorbing qualities
were taken into consideration.
The superiority of the Goodrich wire

WIDE INTEREST IN
80 PACKARD TEST

World wide interest has been aroused
by an official nonstop run of 300 hours
which was completed Friday morning,
May l6, by standard "3S" Packard
motor. This is a new record, more than
doubling the best previous run Of 1872
hours made four years ago in England.
1t was announced as 200-hour test
by the technical committee of the Au-
tomobile Club of America, under the
official observance of which it was held.
At the end of that period, however,
the motor was running so smoothly
that II was continued in operation for
100 hours moro. Throughout the test,
coins balanced upon the test rack,
proved the smooth running quality.
The motor maintained constant
speed Of 1900 revolutions per minute.
Measured in road performance, it
pulled Z" 49, car with full load, at
a speed of 37.46 miles per hour over
roads heavy enough to demand a wide
open throttle. In the 300 hours it rolled
mp a total Of IL ,23S miles, which is ap-
proximately half way around the earth,
The run was made with absolutely no
repairs and with no adjustments except
minor ones, allowed by the rules of the
Automobile Club OF America governing
the test.
The motor tested was taken from
stock 49, Packard car, driven to
New York from Cleveland by T. H.
Trego. research engineer Of the Pack.
ard Motor Car company, Detroit. The
test Is the most severe ever given an
automobile engine under official OBJ
servance. the accumulated strain of
much more than the average season s
mileage being compressed within an
unbroken period of tewlve days and
thirteen nights.

TALKS ON TIRES
BREAKER STRIPS

"A representative Of one of the
larger tire companies recently remarked
that so many tires went to pieces at
the breaker strip that he thought they
would discontinue the use of the
breaker strip altogether. This reminds
me of the Irishman,' says J. c. Riley,
local manager of the Goodrich Tire &
Rubber company, "who thought that on
account of the fact that so many people
who were killed in railroad accidents
were in the rear car, that the rear car
should be left off. The breaker strip
is put in a tire to take the shock, which
distractions in the road are liable to
give to q tire, before they can reach
