the artillery fire had not sufficiently

THE BATTLE Of
THE TIRES


IL Is interesting TO watch the forces
OF civilization battling for supremacy
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liyeliest contest of the Tween.
tieth Century
The struggle Ia silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con-
fiict but the results are more far
reaching to present and future gen.
erations than the war of Europe.
The rubber tire has been maneuver.
ing for point of attack for several
years and has captured few unim-
portant positions In traffic, but 1t has
now pitched decisive battle with
Its iron competitor by hurting mil.
lion "jitneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result of the
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. II 1t is compelled to re-
treat, its doom is sealed, but II II wins
transportation methods of this nation
IL the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic its next struggle is with
the railroads of the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
of this earth Is on. Nor iron is the UNI
disputed master In transportation, and
Is fortified behind billions of dollars,
and millions of men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1874, but 1t was 1869
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands of
steel. 1t took the iron tire tifty-hve
years to creep from ocean to ocean.
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys-
SEES. The roadbed was already pre-
pared and therein lies the power of
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron Is stubborn metal and
1t has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the NORWOOD
OF defeat, and when rubber hurls its
full force against this monarch of
the Mineral Kingdom, 1t may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov-
cry.
The rubber tire first made Its APP
pearance on the bicycle, but 1t proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. 1t has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as utility ma
chine and its reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to watt into
dreamland, 1t is enchanting to note
that there will be a marvellous differ.
ence between rubber and an iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every mans door
why city? 1t will traverse the cor
tinent with a net work of Macada
highways as beautiful as the boui
ward built by Napoleon. 1t will pa,
alyze the law making bodies of thi
nation for how could the Legislature
run without the railroads to operate
on?

Washington. Oct. 7.-American har-

day announced preliminary estimates

barley, rye. sweet potatoes, rice, sopac-

While that is ss0oo,oO0 below the record
