used II there should be an emergency
case OF tire trouble In the field Tires
were almost universally pressed on
with burlap strips. This was at first
criticised but 1t did not appear TO
cause any trouble, as with the gen
eral muddy condition Il probably aid
ed in the quick rusting on OF the tire.
The Standardization OF the pressed
on type OF tire on s. a T. rims cannot
be too strongly recommended am
satisfied that the demountable type
viii be found wanting in war service
in France.
1T is advisable to limit the number
OF sizes OF tires to as few as possible.
II is possible to use five inch FOR front
wheel OF all trucks, because the small
er trucks are naturally faster moving
and the additional speed viii easily
make the wear even. In France
great many OF the trucks are used
with five inch dual tires on rear
wheels. These developed serious trou-
bles on account Of the load often be-
ing concentrated on one OF the tires
only On the granite block roads a
projecting block on a damaged road
would often cut out a large section
OF one Of the tires. On heavily cam
bered roads the weights would con-
centrate on the inside tires I am
convinced that the wider section sin
gle tires on the rear wheels suffered
less damage from Inese causes than
the dual tires"
These controversies tend to show
that the actual experience in France
IS apt TO reverse previous decisions
due 10 the difference in the method Of
warfare and particularly with regard
10 the tremendous advancement IN en-
cheering and transport facilities The
policy OF the government in sending
the various branches 70 France for al
least their final training appears 10
be necessary and thoroughly borne
out in the experience OF officers who
have seen service at the front.

Remember when they lassoed your
pet pup and dragged him off TO the
dog pound where you were forced TO
pay a fee for a license and MS free
dom? Detroit motorists are recalling
that pound when they leave their Of
fees or stores and discover that their
cars have been Iassoed and towed to
the vehicle pound. where 50 payments
must be made to free them
Commissioner Of Detroit police
James Couzens revived the pound
scheme to discipline those drivers
who let their cars stand more than
an hour in the restricted downtown
districts.
Policemen working beats are pro-
vided with blue chalk. with which
they mark the time OF day on the
front tire nearest the curb, placing
the figures in the center OF the tread
so that one revolution OF the the
wheel viii erase It. As they check
up the time and discover those who
stand more than the prescribed hour
they report by telephone 70 the We
hicle pound. where two huge police
trucks equipped with two policemen
and 4 heavy tow rope each STAND
ready 70 go after the Offenders ana
tow them in They seldom stand
long. Business has been exceptionally
prosperous, and each day witnesses a
constant rush OF car owners to the
pound to reclaim their machines -Ine
trucks tow an average OF six cars
each TO the pound every working
hour. and a days haul amounts TO an
average total Of 100 motor cars, which
means $500 paid into the vehicle
pound treasury.
As quicsIy IS the car arrives NJ the
pound. the policeman steering the Of
fender steps out and muzzles it with
a heavy chain and paddock that is re

.PRESSED-0H S0LIDTIRES HAVE THE

British and Canadian Transport Officers Find Time Can

United States Army Officers Still Discuss

in favor OF the p7essed-on Tyre. and
there seems TO be 3 possibility that
the pressed-on type viii finally GUST
the demountabIe.
On this subject ". Owen Thomas, o.
Detroit, who was formerly with the
Canadian transport. wrote the follow
ing in his paper entitled Lessons OF
the War in Truck Design" which was
read before the Society OF AutomotiTe
Engineers at their meeting in Wash
ingtOu last June;
"Au trucks sent from Canada were
fitted with demountable tires on
standard s A. Z. rims. This was de-
cided upon before the British had
adopted the American pressed-on type
with a view 20 easy replacement in
the field. Two makes were used In
approximately even quantities On
both makes the locking rings and
bolts and nuts were thoroughly gal
NdA-LEA- MOST OF the tires were care

ter struts 10 prevent distortion Of the
rims Ample spare tire parts OF al
kinds were supplied.
The subsequent use OF these tires
on the muddy roads in Flanders
showed that they we're much more dif-
ficult Of replacement than the pressed
on type which is now standard on all
British trucks After the tires had
been in use for some time in the mud
they were removed only with the
greatest difficulty, and once the rims
had become rusted II was often impos-
sibIe to remove them, even in a tire
press The most effective way was
to take out the remnants Of the rub
Der and to jar and expand the rims
with @ siedge hammer.
The tires of the pressed-on type.
on the contrary were easily applied
and removed in a tire press, which
was always to be found at every tire
store. Tire presses also were fitted
on railway cars. which were always
available at railhead points with
stock Of tires As the main function
Of the motor trucks was to ship ma
terial and supplies from these same
raIhead points, this method OF re-
placement was a very simple matter
Spare wheels with tires applied
