Every automobile that goes into
service of any kind in the highways OF
the world begins to wear out tires,
The yearly tire bill paid by motorists
is approximately s200.000,000. In for.
mer years the more costly item of
automobile upkeep was tire expense
Such improvements have been made
in this giant accessory field, however,
that the tire Of the present day gives
an added measure of service that is
fully In keeping with the advances
made by the motor car itself.
Figures recently compiled by an
authoritative expert brought the world
OF motoring face to face with the as
sertion that one.half of the American
annual tire bill could be saved. With
the season Of most work ahead for the
average automobile, this condition
prompted the Star-Builetfn to make
inquiry In the proper quarters for
exact data, and this has been forth
coming during the last two weeks from
the technical authorities of practically
all the big tire manufacturers.
Weight Chief Factor.
With one accord, the answer OF the
bCOhalCoA OAltCttc CAulfAobA1Co hOufiAy
that the weight on the tire is the chief
factor In determining its proper infia-
ton pressure-that Is, the motorist
who wishes to economic at all must
take into consideration the load his
Car is carrying on each long trip and
initiate accordingly, rather than main
tain more or less careless watch to
observe that ths fires are not FIAT to a
degree.
That this watch for proper imitation
is worth while is pointed out by the
fact that one trip with capacity load

the PROPER imitation is obtained.

In the matter OF tire gauges, they
can be considered reliable If properly

OF the cheapest ones are not likely
always to be uniform In their reading.
The owner inevitably has the ques-
ticn of sufficient air pressure to give
long life to tires on the one hand and
not too great pressure to give. easy
riding qualities
When this is done, the nfotorist
simply Is utilizing his tire to perform
the functions that the springs and
shock absorbers should perform.
Not Work fer Two.
Tires are not f1eant to do this work.
Rubber and fabric can not take the

is allowed to run soft enough to take
up the road shocks that the springs
should absorb, there is constant fiex.

less pressure than that recommended
by the tire maker, this can be DONE.

DEMAND FOR MACHINES
WILL EXCEED SUPPLY,
SAYS JOHN N. WILLYS

Unless | am greatly mistaken the
demand for automobiles this summer
will be far in excess of the supply.
notwithstanding the fact that this
years production of motor cars Will
be the largest in the history Of the in
dustry." This statement was made
by John n. WHY'S, president II the
Willys-Overland Company, who has
just returned to Toledo from his win
ter home in Pasadena My reason
for predicting a shortage of motor
cars this year is based on informa-
ton that have been able to gather
from Overland dealers, and from my
own personal observations of condi-
lions as they exist in the West" stat
ed Mr.. WHY'S. "On every hand could
be seen evidences of increased pros
perity, and if this prosperity is indi-
cative of conditions throughout the
country my advice to prospective mo-
tor car buyers is to shop early.
firmly believe that the rush for motor
cars this summer will surpass that of
the last three years combined"

COMMISSION TO ISSUE WEEKLY
 PUBLICATION.
Anchorage Times.l

The Alaskan Engineering Commis- iion has established a weekly eight page publication. devoted to the rail road construction work throughout Alaska, and the dissemination of infor- nation of general interest to the thousands of employees of the various divisions of the project.
 The name of the new paper is the Alaska Railroad Record, and the edi- torial work is under the direction of Nr. c. ". Jones, a former newspaper man of Panama and Cleveland, Ohio. The first issue of the paper is to appear tomorrow, and the paper will be on sale at the various news stands tomorrow afternoon. The publication has for it's primary object the print ing Of the various government reports, official circulars and orders, and items concerning the construction and oper- stion Of the government railroads in Alaska. II will in no sense encroach on the functions of the daily or week ly papers Of the Territory.
 It is the purpose of the commission to furnish copy of the Record to each employee of the road free of charge, and it is believed that the cost of the publication will be justified by the increased interest shown in the work on the part Of the employees and through the creation of an efficient esprit de corps throughout the whole organization.
