Keeping Tires on the Road.

Within the past week repairmen in
every part of the country have been
notified by the 3. F. Goodrich com
pany of an improved method of tire
repair which will save car owners
thousands of dollars.
This is the result of more than
year of study and scientific investiga-
ton by the repair department of the
largest rubber factory in the world.
Two principal difficulties have been
found with repairs as made hereto
fore. The repairman often has not
taken the injury out Of the tire. Plies
of fabric have been heaped upon the
injured parts, but the injury itself re-
manned. The repair was no more than
patch, makeshift. and" often the
patch was as stiff as piece of armOr
plate. The stiff patch and the resilient
tire body parted and the tire "shuffled
off" before its time.
Again. in some cases repair materi-
ais have been used which were not de.
signed to harmonic. As result,
or under-cured.
Under the new method the same
tools and equipment are used, the re-
pair COStS pTdCLlCdIly Iuc Sdiuc dn
heretofore, but the tire goes back on
the road nearly as strong as before
injury. 3}
The Goodrich company's latest i'm
provement has caused great deal Of
comment both among the trade and al
SO among car owners, many of whom
have heretofore felt that it was impos-
sible to repair badly blown out tire
effectively. Instructions are furnished
to repairmen without charge.

Eighteen million Americans will east

for electors of "a President and Vice
President of the United States.
The total popular vote of all candi-
dates four years ago was l5.036.5+2.

Is 266.
The nation il on tiplOe awaiting the

have stirred the blood OF the people,
but also because an unbiased observer
concludes from the numerous straw
ballots, the cOnccnsus of forecasts b.
leading partisans. the course of the
betting odds. and various other indi-
cations that the result will be a very
close one.
u is easy to find those on either
side who will tell you 10 dot just
how each state will go. But as the.
detailed predictions of Republicans

rid himself of party feeling can say il
that the following states are in doubt
