Some interesting tests have recently
been made in England to determine
the relative strength of wood and wire
wheels, the result being in favor Of
the latter. The tests were made with
pendulum approximately IL feet
long, having a weight OF 4So pounds,
which was swung a predetermined
distance TO strike against the rigidly
held wheels. The tires were left on
the wheels. the weight striking both
the rim and the tire. The results are
given by 1.-The Autocar," an English
trade journal.
At the first blow the wood wheel
showed a DETECTION of 0.28 OF an
inch; at the second or 0.46, when two
spokes cracked; at the third of 0.67.
when the fiange cracked: at the fourth
OF 0.s9, when four additional spokes
cracked, and at the fifth of 1.17.
The rim held throughout. With the
wire wheel the detection on the first
blow was 0.36: second. 0.60; third,
$50; fourth. 1876. and flfth,1.4s.
The conditions under which the
test was made were considered to
represent the effect of q bad skid

of first-class hickory, and was In
every way as well equipped to stand
the blows as the other.
The wire wheel In increasing in
popularity In this country. due to its
strength, the belief that Ii adds to
tire life and its easy handling. 1t
Is claimed that a motorist can make
a quicker tire change with wire wheels
than with demountable rims And
the less expert the operator Is the
greater advantage has the detachable
wire wheel. When the wheel Is jack
ed up a couple of turns OF the wrench
loosens 1t and IT slips off. No special
strength or skill is required.
Mounting the fresh. wheel Is az
easy. In case more punctures are
encountered than can be cared for
by the number of spares carried. the
wheel is dismounted with practically
no loss OF fine and brought from un-
der the mud guard. where The tire
may be manipulated with greater
freedom.
The wire wheel Is In America While
wire wheels of automobiles have been
used In Europe for several seasons,
there are such great inherent advant-
ages in their favor that firms In this
country are now engaged In their
and many American car
manufacturers are offering wire wheel
equipped cars to the public.

Seven Nations To
Contest For Davis
Lawn Tennis Cup

NEW YORK. March S.-A London
cable says that seven nations have
challenged for the Dwight f. Davis
International lawn tennis challenge
cup. Entries for the annual series
OF matches closed today with the
English Lawn Tennis association,
and, as expected, the number OF COM
petitors exceeds that of any previous
year in the history of the world IA
nous trophy. The nations which will
meet In the preliminary ties to decide
the chaliengers of the British Isles
holders includes the United States,
Canada, France, Germany. AustraI-
asia, South Africa and Belgium.
The size OF the list Is no surprise
to the officials Of the governing asso-
citation. Ever since the cup was won
again for the British Isles by Charles
p. Dixon, J. c. PaEke, A. E. Beamish
and F. Gordon Love last November at
Melbourne. the nations have signified
their intention to strive for the
trophy. 1t is understood that the
matches in the cup finals Will be
decided on the historic courts at VIM
bledon while the preliminary ties
will be played on such courts as the
officials OF the British council may
elect.
The preliminary ties probably will
be played during the week, beginning
on July f4th, which win allow of the
clearing OF the AlI-F;ngiand cham
pionship from the Wimbledon turf.
and then the cup series OF four. sim
giles and one doubles will be fought
out the following week.
Two of the challengers come from
nations which have hitherto not
stood among the competitors, as
Canada and Germany have never be-
fore figured In the competitions for
the Davis cup. There are a number
of Canadians, notably Kenneth Pow
ell, among the students at the uni
versities. and the team will be made
up from among these colonials. Otto

the English language, and Justice

German. He was practically silent
while damaging testimony was being

Since enabership In the American
Conference of Pharmaceutical Facui-
ties and registration in the state or
New York require that mot less than
three professors shall be employed
regularly in giving instruction" we
recommend that the position of pro-

salaries sufficiently large to attract
teachers so that conformity to the
above requirements shall be unques-
toned. 1t is further recommended
THAT a sum be appropriated for the
payment of such other instructors as
may be necessary.
1t is recommended that a third
year in pharmacy be offered in the
session of 1915-1s, this additional
wear to consist of further training
in analytical. industrial and applied
chemistry. and advise that this course
be announced in the catalogue for the
session OF 1894.
II is recommended that the dental
faculty consist OF twelve chairs. rs
