USE CARE WITH TIRES.
Much Depends on Proper Atten.
ton, Says Goodyear Man.
INITIATION is IMPORTANT
Skilful Driving and No Over.
Loading Helps in Saving
Life of Rubber.
BY G. M. StadeIman, Goodyear.

THE service men obtain from tires In
directly proportional to the degree of
care and attention they give to their
tires" says G. NJ. Stadelman, secretary Of
the Goodyear Company, Of Akron. Ohio.
Some men write in that they have OBJ
tanned as high as seventeen thousand
miles from a single casing. Upon investi-
eating 1t Is invariably found that the
men who get most out of their tires are
the ones who are most careful about
keeping their tires inflated to the proper
pressure. They are the ones who do not
overload their tires, who do not allow
them to stand in grease and oil, who do
not run In car tracks or over rough
roads-in short. the men who take care Of
their tires are the ones who profit.
ut Is impossible to estimate what the
mileage Of tire should be simply because
you can not reduce human care to
common denominator. Every man drives
a car with different degree of care. And
road conditions play a large part In de-
termining tire life. A tire that would
last long on smooth city asphalts would
deteriorate much more rapidly II driven
upon rocky country roads.
However, II given the right degree Of
care tires under all conditions every
where would last much longer. II tire
users could only go through the factory
and see the skill, the time. the labor and
thought that Is put into their tires they
would then appreciate that the well-bal-
anced pneumatic tire is a wonderful or
eanism which IL worthy of their careful
attention.
when men shah have learned to appre-
ciate the finer points of their motors and
the finer points Of their tires II will mark
q great day for the automobile industry.
For then men will put oil In their gears
and air in their tires. and the petty motor
car annoyanq,s. which are for the most
part avodabI. will be done away with.
There will be no dissatisfaction with the
motor car.
Most men learn about their cars from.
experience which Ia entirely too costly.
Education, rather than costly experience,
is what Is needed. IL is the manufactur-
er's duty to educate the dealer. and 1t 10
the dealers duty to teach the consumer.
The dealer should take care of the man
before he has trouble rather than after
ward, although he should do both. Never
before in the history OF the industry have
dealers displayed such willingness TO give
Service" as they do to day
THE breadth OF view of the men In the
automobile industry was brought out at
the recent automobile dealers convention
In indianapolis, when it was resolved
that Service" should be the ideal OF the
Industry. II Is pleasant to note that men
in the industry, although some are in a
sense competitors. are all working with
each other tor the good of the business
and for the benefit of the ultimate con-
surner."

This Is How

Statistics show that % per cent
of all clincher tires get Yim-cut.
Our patent type saves that 20 per
cent.
The 10 per cent oversize, under
average conditions, adds Is per
cent to the tire mileage.
These savings are actual. Tens
OF thousands have proved them.
And one swift glance will tell you
how they come about.

Several months ago the Columbus

lectors who had been operating the auto
mobile collection wagons to take over the
cars, and gave each an allowance Of 81, 900

collectors have become mechanics. and
are making quite a saving by making all
adjustments themselves.

ment fund of $4,000, was the recip-

night. Following the conclusion of
the seminary commencement exercises,
at which DR.. Andreen had announced
that Mr.. Smith had come with his
wife from the Pacific coast to rejoice
with the college in its successful
achievement of the Ericsson fund and
to redeem his own pledge, the Wen.

large body of students and visitors

of the distinguished guests.
Mr.. Smith, on behalf OF himself and

GREETINGS FROM KNOX.
President Thomas McClelland of
Knox college. Galesburg, was intro
duced and had the following to say:
at is very great pleasure, as it is
certainly an honor. to be permitted to
bear the congratulations of Knox col
lego to your board OF education, the
superintendent of schools and all who
work under him and to the citizens of
Rock Island, on the addition to the
equipment to your public schools
which this splendid building, devoted
20 manual arts, furnishes.
THE college of liberal arts, which
stands avowedly for cultural educa-
ticn rather than for the immediate or
specific preparation for some particu.
La trade, profession or other occupa-
| ton of life, is sometimes set over
| against the so-called vocational train
ing so much in vogue today. This is
q mistake; there is no warrant Tor
any antagonism between the two
grades of education or for the dispar-
agement OF one by the other. Eaca
has most important place in our edu-
cational system. They are compile
meGts of each other. Perhaps | should
say it is only a question OF emphasis,
o: proportion.
y want to assure you that, while
believe most heartily in the American
college which has for its end the
broad training so essential to leader
ship in life, which gives one the sense
of proportion, of relative values, OF
quickened judgment; and that reason
ing power which Professor James ae
fines as the ability to deal with novel
data ! am none the less in hearty
sympathy with that vocational train,
ing which has for its end the imme
date preparation of pupils for the oc
equations which they are to follow in
life and I rejoice in every facility of
fered to those whose needs and incl
nations demand this kind of teaching
We cannot forget that the great ma
jority of pupils in our public schools
will be prevented by circumstances
over which they have no control, from
taking advantage of the broad train
ing which the college gives. On this
account it is most gratifying to see the
ample provision which Rock Island
has made in your Manual Arts build
ing and its equipment for those who
from necessity or choice, are to entei
their life work without the advantages
of the training which institutions o
high learning give"
