Great Invention.

The Scientific American has been en-
.deavoring to ascertain what are the
ten greatest patcntable inventions of
the past twenty-five years by Offering
a prize for the best treatise of the sub
jcct. There was such a variety Of
opinions that the judges were unable
to arrive at any satisfactory conclusion
and the decision mas been left for the
readers of hat journal. The list as
CLEANED from the papers which were
sent in In response to the invitation
includes the following. Acetylene gas

sustain part OF the weight itself, ex~
acLlY In proportion to the deficiency
in the air pressure, something 1t Is
not built to do. ,~ .ys
The first result is that the weight
above being no longer properly sus-
tanned, tiattens the tire out where 1t
rests on the ground, Then, when the
tire on reaching the bottom, must as
sumo this unnatural f1attened shape.
Each side must bend out and then
back again at every revolution.
The body of the casing consists Of
several plies Of fabric united as a
whole by the rubber which has been
vulcanized through and through. And
when the side walls bend in and out
because Of under inflated condition
these fabric layers dc not unite their
strength and act as q. unit as they are
meant to, but the unnatural bending
makes one layer pull against the one
negt to it. They fail to reinforce each
other as they should.
/ Continually pulling against each
other, these fabric layers in time pull
apart, separating from each other.
The am conditions which caused
them to pull against each other now
cause them to rub and chafe. This
produces friction and heat. The diff
ferent layers soon wear each other
out. and so soon as some one place
becomes too weak to sustain the in
side air pressure, the tire gives way'
with a "bloW-put."
, The tire manufacturer tries 10 make
perfect castings and tubes. A perfect
casing and tube is n Of the factor s
Of good tire service, The other factor
Is correct air pressure and This is up
to the motorist.
There are several kinds of tire
abuse. but as proper imitation is so
vitality important, insufficient imitation
is more damaging than anything else.
The statistics compiled by all the
leading tire manufacturers, indicate
that more than rs per cent of tires
that have gone out Of service pre-
maturely, did so because of INSULT
cient imitation.
There are several indications of
underinfation, The most common
one is the condition of the inside
fabric. determination separates the
fabric layers and this separation
shows itself by means of a ridge or
roll Of fabric on the lower part Of the
side wall on the inside of the cas-
ing. This Is before the tire Is ready
to give way completely, After q tire
with separated fabric Is run awhile
and then removed, it will be found
that the fabric at the PLACE it was
rolled up into a ridge before, is now
cracking and beginning to break. In
this condition it Is soon ready to give
way.
Another condition Is the %loosening
at the tread. determination produces
a little roll right in front Of the point
Of contract with the ground which in
time tends to separate the tread,

imitation usually permits the tire to

II will be interesting to know how

twenty pounds for every inch of

AS underinfiation Ia such a. uni
that the reason the advantage motor
list does not give the air pressure in
his tires the attention ne should, is
because he does not realize its i'm
portance.
In addition to pointing out the
danger of underinfation it is neces-
sary to show how to guard against 1t.
There are two precautions the motor
list cap take which will do this; one
Is to initiate the tire properly at first
and the other is to add to the tire
every few days enough air to balance
what has been lost in the meantime.
NO tire Is absolutely alright SO II

gauge. A number of reliable and in
expensive gauges are on the market
which will pay for themselves sew
eral times in reducing tire expense.
To summarize then. an analysis of
the cause Of deficient tire service by
the leading tire manufacturers, shows
that in " rs per cent OF the eases,
underinfiation is responsible. Under
imitation ruin can be avoided by OBJ
serving the following rule. Cut this
out and carry it in your pocket or
paste 1t up In your garage.
Keep tires inflated according to the
following: =,
az inch-50 lbs. ~ inch-sO lbs,
g inch-6O lbs. 5 inch-100 lbs,
81 inch--70 lbs. 5h inch--110 lbs.
4 inch--80 lbs. 6 incf-12O lbs,
Use a pressure gauge and test your
tires at least twice a" week, pumping
In what they need to bring the pres
sure up to the required amount. It is
not enough to initiate the tire properly
when you do initiate it, for If it isn't
inflated again soon, the pressure will
drop far below the recommended
amount. The average pressure should
be kept as nearly as possible equal to
the recommended pressure.
