Some vulcaniZers ask why repairs

The most likely explanation is that

Much inequality in Fees
There is great inequality in the
registration fees charged by the diff.
ferent states. The average for the
United States was $746. The State of
Vermont, however, secured in 1915 a
car, while Minnesota received only
about so cents annually for each car.
In Texas and South Carolina no an
nual registration fees are collected,
the only requirement being a county
fee Of so cents and 81 respectively for
perennial registration. Most of the
states, however, also levy annual
taxes on motor vehicles and this adds
Importantly to the public revenue
contributed by the owners of motor
propelled vehicles. r..

found that he can save a great deal
of money in the course Of a year sim.
ply by being careful with his air
bags. ...
This man has discovered that diff.
ferent types and makes of tires vary
considerably in inside dimensions, and
he doesn't care to abuse his air bags
by forcing a fit and running the risk
OF stretching or buckling the bag.
The shape and inside dimensions of
Q. d. clincher tire are different from
q straight side tire. so this vulcanizer
has two sets of air bags, one for each
type of tire.
Tires of the same type but of diff.
ferent makes also vary in their dimen-
sions, but OF course, it would not be
practical to have different set of
air bags for every brand of tires. To
get around this difficulty the western
Tulcanizer has pads of various sizes
which he uses to insure q perfect fit.
= When 1t is considered that an air
bag gets so hard and brittle on the
inside. even after only ten or fifteen
cures, that it is likely to be ruined
# it is stretched or buckled, the i'm
portanee of these precautions will be
apparent. t.~. -. .:.....

The growing popularity of black
tread tires has created a demand for
a high grade tread stock suitable for
repairing them. This need has been
promptly and ably supplied by the
new Goodyear CLOS black tread
gum.
An important characteristic of this
gum is its low specific gravity, which
is 1.40, as COMPARED with 1.66, the
average for tread stocks. This means
that CLOS possesses about Is per
cent more bulk (taken weight for
weighO than other gums<- in aother
words, if you buy Is pounds of the
Goodyear gum you can do Is per
cent more work with it than with %
pounds of gum Of the average specific
gravity. -.
While low specific gravity is high
ly desirable quality, repair gums pos.
sessing it have to be more painstak-
fngly handled than the heavier stocks
If blistering is to be avoided. In work.
ing with CLOS it should be carefully
applied and thoroughly rolled down
and all air blisters removed. It is
very important, too, that the air bag
be inflated to at least 10 pounds pres

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July g.
Ninety per cent of the registration
and license fees paid in 1915 by auto
mobilists to the states, or $16213,3S7,
was spent for the building and main.
tenance of county and state roads.
according to compilation just pub
lished by the office of public roads,
u. s. department Of Agriculture. In
all, 2,445,6 motor vehicles we're reg
istered in that year and their owners
paid a total of $1S,245,713 for regis
trations and drivers and dealers IL
censes. This In an increase of
$5,S63,760 over 1914, and an Increase
OF 734,325 in the number Of vehicles
registered Automobile fees now de-
fray nearly Z per cent OF the total
amount spent on rural roads and
bridge building, whereas in 1906 the
income from this source was less than
three-tenths OF l per cent Of the to-
tai expenditure.
The growth of the volume of fees
and registrations 10 noted by the fact
that IN 1901 New York, the first
state to require fees, collected only
1854. In 1906 only $4,000 cars were
registered throughout the entire
United States. BY 1916, however, the
number had jumped to the figure
given, so that there is slightly more
than one motor car registered for
each OF the 2,375,000 miles of road
outside of the Incorporated towns and
cities.
Cars and Road Mileage
The relation between cars and road
mileage varies widely in different sec
tons. There Is only one motor car
for every six miles of rural road in
Nevada. but nearly SIX motor cars for
every mile OF sucn road In New Jer-
sey. There Is an average of one
motor car registration for every A
persons In the United States. Iowa
apparently leads, however, with one
motor car for every is persons. while
only one for. every 200 persons Is
registered for Alabama.
II must be understood, however,
that the figures of registration do not
necessarily represent a total numbe.

Tire and Rubber Company Pre-
sents Latest Type of War
Balloon to Field Artillery

AS material and practical evidence
of its desire to cooperate fully with
the government in building up the
national defense and its interest in
the national preparedness program,
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Com
pany, Akron, Ohio, has presented to
Battery B." Ohio Field Artillery, sta
toned at Akron, a fully equipped
military kite balloon ready for imme-
diate use. Thus Goodyear earns the
distinction of furnishing the first kite
balloon ever owned by the National
Guard in any state. The balloon Is
Of the same type as the one recently
delivered to the U. s. navy for use at
the Naval Aeronautic station at Pen.
sacola, Florida. 1t was designed and
made entirely in the Goodyear fac.
tory. Goodyear recently sent an aero
nautic expert abroad to make scien-
tffie study of kite balloon develop
ment to be better able to assist the
u. 8. government in building up its
aeronautic service. ~> :...
The balloon just donated to the
National Guard Is the very latest de.
velopment in kite balloons and en-
bodies many scientific principles
which have been worked out exclus-
lively by Goodyear aeronautic engi-
neers. 49,. o.. .s.....-.~
The importance of kite balloons in
present day military campaigns is en-
phasized by the multiplicity of bal
looms now in use in Europe. On the
European battle fronts they are plac.
ed at frequent. intervals to insure
aerial surveys of the entire front con.
stantly and are indispensable.
Undoubtedly Goodyear's gift to the
Ohio National Guard will mark the
beginning of a very considerable de.
velopment in this exceedingly import
ant arm of the service.
