Heat and Sewed Tires.

Much has been said of late concerning
the effect of the summer weather on
sewed tires. In this connection /. NJ Win
ner, a local tire expert. said the other day
that the warm weather. in his opinion, did
not affect tires which had been sewed to-
gether and rebuilt into one tire. The
two-in-one process he said consists of
putting together two tires in such a way
that friction is cut down to a minimum
as the tires are so arranged to make
one upon the other as secure and COM
pact as when the factory vulcanizes the
rubber on the fabric in the manufacture

Jackson Highway an Advertiser.

Ninety-nine years ago Andrew jack
son began the construction of mill
tary highway from Nashville, Tenn,
to Madisonville, La, which was COM
pleted in May. 1920. 1t was planned
by the typographical engineers of the
army. and built by soldiers. In the
final surveys the engineers followed
straight line bearing north thirty
I've degrees east as closely as the topog-
raphy of the country permitted The
total length of the road is Sic miles
and all of it has been in continuous
use ever since it was finished. At the
present time there Is project to
transfer the name of Jackson High
way to another route between these
terminal cities. The advocates of the
old route make the statement that the
rural white population along it is FIVE
times as long as the proposed new
route, which is so miles longer. good
testimony to the value of well To-
Gated highway in bringing people into
the country traversed by it.

BEING A TALE OF
THE MAN WHO WAS
ALWAYS SPEEDING

The foil lowing contribution was
received by the commission of
public safety of Greater Detroit,
and it furnishes an example of
the type of motorist which is
rapidly diminishing in our midst:
When first fellow gets a car,
he navigates it slowly. Base
fiends," he says. those speeders
are-their course is most unholy.'
There'll be no reckless speed for
him; such stuff annoys him
greatly: he will not scorch or
scoot or skim, but jog along. Sc
dately. "Oh, safety is the proper
stuff" he says when feeling
chatty: twelve miles an hour is
fast enough for any man not
batty. The accidents of which
we read are caused by silly duff
fers, who have to hit abnormal
speed, and many a victim suf-
fers." But when he's had his car
nine weeks he sends 1t forth
a-humming. and every country
village shrieks when it beholds
him coming. ITO crawl along
he says. "is worse than walking
is, dod-gast me. l don't propose
that every hearse shall go awhiz-
Zing past me-" And so he
scorches in his glee. and then
some balmy morning he winds
his car around a tree, and fur
nishes a warning.

the oxidation of automobile cylinder
oils. which has been made the subject
of recent study by that bureau.
The rate of oxidation of three oils
when exposed to sunlight and air was
studied and the increase in weight.
acidity and carbonization value, as well
as changes in the Maumene and iodine
numbers and in the demulsibility, were
determined. Changes in the carboniZa-

and for the same time at different tenn
