PNEUMATIC TRUCK TIRES

users are deeply interested In thsm and
their possibilities. as Goodyear has pio-

Says Mr. Wilson: Pneumatic truck
tires ars built ON exactly the same prn-
ciples as pneumatic automobile tires. The

that there are more wires In the bead. to
hold the greater pressure and give the
larger tire perfect seating on the rim. The

AUTOMOBILE. TIRES ARE
SCIENTIFICALLY BUILT

The rapid strides that have been made
in the automobile during the last few
years have been apparent and msrveled
st by the entire world. There never has
been en- industry that has progressed in
magnitude and probable perfection as
rapidly as the business of manufacturing
motor cars. It is not as generally known.
however, that there has been an almost
parallel amazing development In many
of the parts and accessories of equipment.
The automobile tire is an excellent illus
tration. To all outward appearances It is
exactly the same in every way as II was
two years ago. or five years go. or ten
years ago. AS matter Of fact. however.
many radical changes have been made
In their construction.
Some very enlightening Information
along this lipe is gathered from the fol-
lowing remarks made by H. A. Citizens,
vice president and sales manager OF the
Federal Rubber Manufacturing company,
Milwaukee:
when one considers tho manner in
which automobile tires are constructed
today and the way they were when the
automobile first came into existence, It
is easy to realize why the tire of today
Is so perfect.
The first automobile tires were prac-
tically nothing more or less than bicycle
tires built on a larger scale. Since that
time. however, many things have been
accomplished that we're not then known
or understood. Today the tires made by
most manufacturers are virtually scien-
tific in the correctness Of their design
and the quality and proportion Of their

materials. We have learned that this
tread requires a different kind OF rubber
than is used in the csrcass-pliable, but
toughened TO Withstand tho greatest pos
sible wear.
1T has been found that the tire giving
the greatest wear and longest mileage
with the least trouble is not a tire made
with a tread so large and heavy that II
soon loosens from the fabric No matter
how much rubber is put into the tread. II
It separates from the fabric before II is

treads arc made of the correct oody and
thickness TO wear as long as the fabric

the greatest possible mileage. II the

be perfectly balanced so that neither one

AILDA GETS. EVEN

Mother, we can't let Hilda go.
She understands fathers very decided
tastes in cooking. and 1t would take
months to train another girl"
But it's natural that she should
want to get married, Lucille" protest
ed Mrs. Hampton weakly.
1T may be natural, but we're going
to keep her." said Lucille, tossing her
pretty head.
But put yourself in her place, my
DEAR" answered her mother. Sup
pose you were prevented from marry
ing John. Wouldn't you feel badly?
And wouldn't you give up any posi-
tion, IL you had to work, to marry
him."
That's quite a different matter"
answered Lucille. "Hilda is Swede
and Swedes have no feelings. And
she's servant, and we can't expect
that sort of people to feel like US.
Hilda is very happy as an independ-
ent single woman, and that grocer's
clerk would probably squander her
savings and perhaps ill-treat her. I'm
going to stop the affair"
Mrs. Hampton, mildly curious, found
her questions rebuffed with all her
daughters energy; and. being primar-
lily a peace-loving person, she subsid-
ed and hoped that nothing more would
be heard about the matter.
However. events moved quickly.
The next day Hilda was in tears. and
she shifted in very audible manner
as she waited at table. Lucille looked
particularly gleeful.
"Ive fixed IT, she announced.
"Lucille!" protested her patient
mother.
"Oh, nothing much about that. When
l was in the store today l remarked
casually that hoped Hilda had got
her divorce in Sweden before coming
to this country because she was fiirt-
ing a good deal with the young men
who delivered goods at the house.
That was all. And did you notice that
different clerk delivered the gro
ceries this morning? Hilda will soon
get over her feeling, and we'll keep
her."

Winner Of Mile Run Explodes Anglo

That the possession of Drawn does

seem like putting too fine point upon

most reliable watch holders in the
country all caught Mr.. Taber's time
alike. there is little doubt that he fair

he certainly broke 1t.

HAS Drawn in SPITE OF BRAIN

complished by a man of more than
ordinary intellectual development.
Mr.. Taber is an American who, after
his graduation from Brown university.
went to Oxford as Rhodes scholar.
He was a runner OF ability when at
Brown; he continued to develop brain
and body together at Oxford, and his
running has improved as his mind has
broadened and matured.
There is special reason why
Americans should be proud of Mr..
Taber's achievement. however. Until
recently 1t had been a tradition that.
while Americans were supreme in the
dashes, and field events, which require
tense skill and quick effort rather
than endurance, they were usually in.
ferior to their British cousins In the
long runs, which require what the
Englishman calls bottom" or what
the American youth less euphoniously
terms quits" Mr.. Taber has helped
to shatter this tradition and vindicate
the American staying power.

brusquely.
The experiment certainly seemed
to have been successful. Gradually
Hilda's disconsolate face grew bright
again. 1t was noticed, too, that she
seemed to distribute her favor i'm
partially upon the different trades
mems assistants. Where so many
shared it, there seemed no likelihood
of her fixing upon one in particular.
AS for Jones. the clerk who had
monopolized her, he had left his en-
ployer's services. Katz, the grocer,
said that he was going into business
for himself. Lucille did not care par
ticularly what happened to him. SO
long as there was no danger of his
detecting the fraud that had been
played.
John Martin and she were to be
married in four months time. They
were very fond of each other in a
sensible way. Every Saturday night
John called, and every Wednesday
night he took her to the theater. It
was an ideal engagement from a
monetary point of view. for John was
earning $500 month as secretary to
q prominent publisher. and had five
thousand in the bank besides.
About three weeks after Lucille's
successful maneuver the girl waited
in vain on Wednesday evening for
John to appear. She was as much
amazed as disappointed. 1t was the
first time since their engagement that
his regularity had failed. And the
absence of telephone call induced
in her first anger, then alarm
