VOTERS REJECT PLAN TO
MOVE COUNTY SEAT

LEWISBURG, w. VA, Nov s.
The only election held in West Vir-
ginia yesterday resulted in the de-
feat Of the proposition to move the
county seat of Greenbrier county
from this place to Ronceverte, four
miles away Sentimental considera-
ton entered largely into the vote as
Lewisburg has been the county seat
Of Greenbrier since 1882, when the
county was formed as a part Of the
Old Dominion, and the court house
in which Patrick Henry the Revolu-
tionary patriot practiced law is still
standing.

ADDED SPEED BRINGS NEW
NATURAL FORCE INTO PLAY
Tire Experts Make Remarkable Dis
covery At Big Quito Speedway.

There is anew factor in Tire wear
Centrifugal Force You need not
start worrying, Mr.. Car-owner; at
the maddest rate of speed the author
tiles or your good Judgment will per-
nit your taking your good car, this
formidable sounding Force won't add
cent to your car-upkeep. Over the
big speedways, however, it has dem
onstrated itself Enthusiastically 1t
will be remembered that up to this
year such terrific speeds as have
characterized the Indianapolis and
Chicago classics have not been posi-
bic. Engines would not allow it and,
above all, tires would not stand up
under the train. Just about so far
at just about such speed and bang!
would go the tire, often causing seri-
GUS accidents and occasionally death
to driver or mechanician. But since
the drivers OF the big races this year
have, practically in body, turned to
the Silvertown, not only has much
greater speed been attained, but bet
ter tire service has resulted-new
nonstop records have been set-and
Accidents have been cut down to prac-
tically nothing But with this new
adjustment of things comes new
factor that is being carefully watched
by Goodrich experts, and that is
Centrifugal Force. This force is, as
most of US know, that tendency of a
whirling body to project itself off into
space at tangent. 1t is like whirl-
ing an apple tied to string, around
you head. There is a continued pull
ling by the applet seems to want
to shoot off into space; and, if you
suddenly do let go-off it will shoot.
This is Centrifugal Force.
1t is this Force which has fatten-
ed the earth at the poles. This old
globe of ours whirling so rapidly bull
ges out at the equator with that ten
dency to fly into space-just as Sa-
turn threw off it's rings.
Now at Indianapolis and Chicago,
Sheepshead Bay and elsewhere, the
Tires were revolved so much faster
than speeds known in the past, that
Centrifugal Force came into play and
contracted the sides thereby reducing
the tire width and increasing the cir
conference at the tread. Not noti-
ceable, understand, while in the run
ming, but the f1attening tendency was
realized to such an extent that when
the tires were removed from the rims
it was found that, of the three ribs
| forming the tread of the Silvertown.
the center one was worn while the
two outer ones were almost intact.
And all have the same point of con-
tact in onrmal usage, mind you. AT
first this peculiar spectacle of sort
of grooved wearing of the tire was
a puzzler but the Goodrich experts
soon found that Centrifugal Force
was the culprlt, fiattening the tire
sides until the center rib projected
out far enough to get this extra wear.
1t all goes to show that wonderful
strength of this heat-resisting Rub
ber-lmpregnated Cable Cord Con-
struction of the Silvertown. Any
] other would have burned itself out
early in the game.
