WIDE TIRED WAGONS
THE BEST AFTER ALL


A few years William Pollock. az this
city, invented and patented = lap tired
wagon Of more than ordinary width
Mr.. Pollock commended that If all thu
farmers would use his wagon the road
would be beaten down and smoothei
instead Of eat-up and rutted as they
are by the ordinary marrow tired
wagon Mr.. Pollock did not ask any
money for his invention but his pur-
pose was purely philanthropie. The
following from the Kansas Indus
trialst showing the efficiency Of the
wide tired wagon upholds Mr.. Pol
locks contention.
Wide tired wagons pull more easily
than narrow tired ones &C per cent Of
the times when they are used" says
F. A. Writ, instructor in farm mech
anics in the Kansas State Agicul-
tGral College. Professor Writ has
just completed experiments with wide
and with narrow tired wagons.
Marrow tires pull harder than wide
tires. says Professor Writ because
the narrow tire cuts deeper into the
top soil. The wide tire does not cut
so dep and makes q better track on
roads which are travelled while the
ground is soft The wide tire packs
the surface into q firm ruadbed.
The experiments show that in corr
fields, plowed fields, field lanes and on
pasture and on alfalfa land the draft
Of the wide tire is considerably less.
no matter what the conditions Of the
soil.
When Marrow Tire Is Best.
In places where the mud is deep and
rolls up on the wheels. in ruts made
by narrow wheels, or in a surface of
mud with a hard ground beneath. the
narrow tire will pull more easily.
the narrow wheel fits the nut, on the
hard bottom Of which it runs. and it
collects less mud than the wide tire.
Width of tire and height of wheel
have a great effect upon the draft.
The usual width of the narrow tire
n and three-fourths inches. while
the wide tire is usually three or four
inches wide. The tires used in the
tests were n and three-fourths and
four inches wide respectively. Six
inch wheels are used only on low
trucks One type of wheel rarely
found is the low wheel with narrow
tire. The draft with this is so great
that a team a hardly pull a load in
soft field surfaces.
How To Select Wagon.
A farmer who can afford only one
wagon will find many factors enter
ing into his selection. If he has to
go on the roads in all kinds of wealth
er, he will find the narrow tires better
because they will collect less mud
Fhen the roads are bad. On the other
hand, II he goes only when the roads
are good, or uses the wagon in the
1elds a great deal, he will find the
tire will be preferred because
If the lighter draft and less damage
o the fields.
One of the main points in favor of
he wide tires is that their use greatly
improves the roadbed, as they will
pack the top soil. making the roadbed
and thus enabling it to drain well
n time of rain. The wide tire will
lot cut up the meadow or field as does
he narrow tire. This is also i'm
'ortant as a smooth surface in the
meadow is much easier to NOV over.

to Be Fair Though Slightly
Colder Tomorrow.

Westerly winds are to bring clear
skies over Washington late this after
noon or tonight, according to the pre-
dictions of the weather bureau. To-
morrow is to be fair, although a slight
ly colder temperature is anticipated

Washington apparently suffered but
lightly in today's storm. as compared
with other points in the east, sleet and
snow crippling wire communication at
many places.
The storm moved northward. today
being central over the Ohio valley. AS
the storm moves northeast rain,
sleet and snow are falling throughout
most of the eastern part of the coun-
try, and while moving northeast these
conditions are expected to prevail to-
night and Thursday in the region of
the great lakes. northern New York
and northern New England. Rains
have been general throughout the gulf,

Storm warnings were ordered up by

TEUT0NS LOST CHANCE
TO HIT ALLIES HARD
Failure to Pursue to Saloniki Nav
End in Allies Taking the
Offensive.
BY RICHARD HARDING DAVIS.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, December 27.-Eight days
ago, when l left Saloniki, travelling df-
rectly here. the situation was expected
to remain without change for one
month. Then, it is believed. either the
allies will advance into Serbia against
the Bulgarians or the Germans and
Austrians will lay siege to Saloniki.
When, on December 13, the allies
withdrew upon Saloniki and began to
dig in and the Greeks evacuated the
city, all believed that not the Bull
garians, but certainly the Germans
would follow on the heels of the with
drawal. Unless they were utterly ex-
bausted that seemed the only course
for them to follow. Seeing this.
thousands of residents of every ma
tionality fed from Saloniki by boats.

But to the allies great surprise and
satisfaction the enemy took no ad-
vantage of the opportunity to pursue
the armies. retreating in perfect order,

WANT ANCONADATA
GIVEN TO SENATE
Think Action Should Precede
Any Break With Aus
tria-Hungary.

A strong feeling exists among mem
bers of the Senate in Washington today
that the administration should submit
tween the United States and Austria
over submarine action before any step
is taken definitely breaking of rela-
tions with Austria.
The gravity of the situation is not
minimized at the Capitol. and the re-
port that Austria will refuse to dis
avow the act of the Austrian COM
mander in sinking the Ancona Is lead
ing to the belief that the situation will
soon be at the breaking point.
The President, 1t is pointed out, has
consistently refused to consider arbitra-
tion in the submarine troubles which have
arisen between the United States and Ger
many and her ally, Austria, involving the
loss Of life Of American citizens 1t is
which 1t is said Austria will make, that
arbitration be adopted in the Ancona
case. But before doing 50. it is believed
that the President should consult Con-
gress, and that he will do SO.
1t was said today that under the ex-
listing arbitration treaty which this
country has with Austria Hungary
accept an offer of arbitration from the
dual monarchy without first consulting
and obtaining the consent of the Sen
ate.
The belief is growing that II the
Austrian note is such as makes rup-
unavoidable, the President will submit
a frank statement of the whole matter
to Congress and let it share the re-
sponsibility with him.
