of finest and purest Para rather than
any other rubber or any compound
made.
But, as in every other part of the
complete tire, workmanship on the
inner tube is as vital as materials
used.
The quality tube must be made Of
sheet rubber built up layer by layer,
Of thin, almost transparent pies. The
final sheet is the thickness of the tube
itself, but the tube consists Of three
or four thicknesses of this sheet. &C
cording to size and the strain it is TO
receive.
1t would be quicker and cheaper TO
roll out one sheet of rubber Of the
thickness desired instead of rolling
out five or six thin plies through the
"calendaring" machine. But the slow,
laborious building method removes the
possibility OF air bubbles, insures an
impervious texture and uniform thick
ness retards the blooming" process
adding miles and miles or months and
months OF service.

INNER TUBE IMPORTANT
TO AUTOMOBILE OWNERS

The inner tube is the vital organ
of the automobile tire. the power
plant" so to speak, as the engine life
is the life of the car itself. If this
were borne in mind more clearly mot
orists would give more consideration
20 the selection of inner tubes.
There are fewer things of such es-
sentially delicate, frail construction of
which SO much is expected as the inner
tube. For this reason it is the last
factor in automobiling that should
have TO bear any skimping on quality.
Within the tube is a pressure of air
representing about as much power as
will run a locomotive. Let there be
the slightest weakness in the rubber,
the suggestion of an air bubble or
imperfect joint, tendency toward por-
BUSINESS in texture, and the tube is
doomed
Unfortunately the quality or char
acter of an inner tube is not easily
determined The inexperienced buyer
is safest who measures the respon-
sibility, record and reputation of tire
names and selects accordingly.
For instance, the weight, body
or thickness of a tube is a poor basis
upon which to choose. A heavy or a
thick tube may be made of cheap
! rubber, overloaded with mineral sub
stances in the compromising.
Any deviation from the use OF the
highest grade rubber, as pure as it is
possible to use. is simply a cOmpro-
mise with quality and service for the
sake Of cost
! There is no occasion for the intro
duction OF foreign matter other than
| the trace Of sulphur needed for cur
ing, or the bit of anthony when a
tube of red color is desired
The advantage of the finest pure
rubber tube lies in its superior tough
ness, It's greater expansive and con,
tractive powers, its greater density OF
texture and its ability to withstand
heat
The compound tube is likely to be
slightly porous from the start. and
this condition is certain to develoI
after a time, owing to the blooming
process.
The bloom OF the tube, or any rub
Der material, is that flmy white coat
ing which appears on the surface
II the rubber is not properly cured
or II It has been overload ed with com
pounding substance. the blooming
process Is rapid-the texture become:
porous and weakened, rendering the
tube no longer fpnpervious 70 air Slow
leaks are the result, elasticity is los
and the tube soon goes to pieces.
There is only one material tha
should be used in an inner tube and
that is pure up-river fine Para rubber
In the purest form It Is possible TO use
This problem Of heat resistance IL
sufficient reason in itself for the use
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-02-20

The succeeding steps are the cutting
into proper lengths, the joining of the
ends. the inserting Of the valve and
the uniting of the entire tube into one
continuous air evelope. Each step
must be according to expert know-how,
made important by the actual require
ments of the tube on the road. Any
WHARF throughout the making, snail
detail sighted, while a short cut to
completion, would unquestionably
means a cutting short of the life Of
the tube.
The result of this care, from a finan-
oial standpoint OF the user, is longer
service, greater security from blow
outs and full security against a leaky
tube.

RESTORED BY
HAYS HAIR HEALTH

There is no need of any one now
a-days having grey or faded hair, or
Dandruff either, that causes it to fall
out constantly.
Falling hair and Dandruff ruin a
beautiful head of hair in no time and
grey and faded hair make you look
SO much older than you really are.
HAYS HAIR HEALTH used regu-
larly will bring your hair back to its
natural color quickly and more effec-
lively than anything else. Its so easy
to use it; just apply a little at night,

Danger of being "stung' in the first
purchase of motor car is decreasing
as the automobile industry is settling
down from a boom" business to a le-
ultimate commercial line, according to
mlnufa cture.s showing models at the
1918 show.
There is none of us so old that he
cannot remember his first important
purchase" declared one exhibitor,
whether it was a pocket knife or a
suit of clothes. If his money paid for
it, And even the disappointment and
annoying after experiences, if that
first purchase was not up to our ex-
pectations, failed to dim the delight
which came when we laid down our
money and walked away with our first
possession. Since men are but boys
grown tall most OF US have that same
/ feeling of citation in the purchase of
our first automobile
There is one marked difference in
the buying OF first automobile today
and the same step few years ago,
however It IS that, in the present
time, there is mere OF an unalloyed
pleasure in the occasion than there
was before The natural development
OF the industry has robbed the first
purchaS of much OF that sweetIy pain
full afte effect the pioneers were like
ly to know: today we have the benefit
of the experience Of hundreds of thou
sands OF our fellows in their first
buys and. too, the honesty and con-
scientiousness of the manufacturer
takes much Of the danger Of disap-
pointment out of the operation.
The first buyer Of today can more
readily take the word of the maker
and his representatives as to the mer-
its of the car. Dishonesty is no more
tolerated in the marketing Of motor
cars today than in any other line. The
embryo motor enthusiast nowadays
must be practical, Of course, as BELTS
a grown-up boy; he must be cute, cum
ming, alert, awake TO all the tricks OF
the trade: careful with, his ways and
means and keenly alive to all the blan-
dishments Of the unduly optimistic
salesman. II is being all these things
that adds to the zest of the undertake
ing. But he need not be nearly sc
alert and on his guard as at some times
in the past His predecessors in the
game have paved the way for him and
manufacturers and statesmen do no;
now regard him a. legitimate prey, &c

Tests of tires are frequently render
ed well nigh valueless by the Condi-
tons under which they are held Both
manufacturers and individuals are Of

No more convincing proof OF the SUI
periority OF motor driven fire apparatus
over horse driven types can be cited,
both with respect to efficiency in pre-
venting fire losses and in the actual
saving OF departmental expenses, than
the recent report submitted by the
chief and fire commissioners Of Spring
field, Mass
There are now % pieces of motor
driven fire apparatus in the service of
the department, so per cent of which
are of Knox manufacture, and a very
/ interesting comparison is shown by
reference to the report of five years
ago, when the city had only three mo-
/ tor driven machines, consisting of a
combination hose and chemical and
two chiefs cars.
/ The number of alarms answered by
the department in 1907 was 49S, with
a property loss of over S535,000, while
in 1912, S29 alarms were responded to
with a total loss of only 100000.
Although one DaQ IRE was RESPONSE
BILE for large part OF the loss in
1907, it is nevertheless plainly evil
dent that the. increase of motor driven
apparatus in recent years has enabled
the department to take care of much
greater number of fires with far less
property loss than would have been
possible with the old horse drawn
equipment.
Further important facts are revealed
as regards the saving in upkeep cost
by comparing the reports of 1911 and
1912. The total expenditure for the
latter year amounted to a little over
S239.000. and included in addition tC
current running expenses four large
pieces Of motor driven apparatus, q
new up-tO-date fire house and an in
crease of 80 new men to the payroll
In spite or Unusual expenses and the
added fact that 100 more alarms were
responded 10 during this year than il
1911, a saving Of nearly $500 was
made over the previous years budget
strong argument in favor of motol
driven apparatus from the standpoint
of upkeep cost alone.

That Arizona is a good field for the
automobile business is proved by the
fact that today there are more than
1900 cars in actual daily use in that
state. This is a gain of 500 over the
number in use this time last year. The
larger towns are not alone in the field
for each little community, no matter
how small the population, boasts Of at
least two or thres machines. Phoenix,
however, leads the state with 700 cars.
