LOCAL MANPRA|SES :
RACINE TIRE TREAD
Missoula Motorist Tells How
Scientifically Constructed
Tread Lessons Gasoline
and Oh! Consumption.

Motorists are rapidly coming to real
ize the important part which the tread
of the automobile tire plays in motor
ing. According to a representative of
the Paxton Auto company Of this city.
local distributors for the famous Ra-
cine Country Roard tires, automobile
owners In this city have displayed
more interest in tread selection this
year than in any tire buying season
past.
1T is a fact" he said, that the
scientifically CONSTRUCTED tire tread
lessons consumption Of gasoline and
oil. 1t is an easy matter to produce
non skid tread that will in a large
measure prevent skidding, but 1t is
another thing entirely to produce a
non skid tread which, in addition to
minimizing the danger Of side slipping,
will not stick to the road, thereby
causing an added resistance for the en-
CINE to overcome. 1t is actually a fact
that many of the so-callcd non skid
treads cut down the per gallon mile
age to a considerable extent.
The Racine Country Road trend
consists of heavy strips Of toughest
rubber stock brdged up to the GEN.
ter--the point where greatest woar oc-
curs-and the point of the tire which
is constantly in friction with the road.
These strips OF rubber are so arranged
that car equipped with Racine Coun-
try Road tires rides as comfortably,
steers as easily and Is as easily pro-
PEELED by its motor as though the tires
, were of the rlain-tread variety. This
peculiar tread also renders the Racine
| Country Road tire less subject to blow
outs and less likley to suffer stone
bruises. In the opinion Of its designers. :"

IF rims become rusted from water
working around the beads when tires

that the flap does not slip underneath

other thing, the 4a-ineh beads are

cured when the beads are strained
and crowded in this manner. The
correct oversize tire for 36x4 rim is
37x4k.
In some instances, 3Sx5h tires

When removing tires from rims,

Major Phillips Would Have
$500 Armored Cars and
$1,000 Men for Duty

During the early stages c. the
European va: practically all the COM
batants placed a great deal Of re-
lance on machine guns mounted on
motor cars. Within the first year.
however, the guns were all dismount-
ed and are now being carried OK
clusively by hand, according to Maj.
M. ]. Phillips. writing in the Power
Wagon. Military experts smile when
armored motor cars are men tioned,
and declare that actual warfare has
proved them impractical. 1t Is con-
coded that their usefulness was one
of the big disappointments OF the
war.
There are several reasons for the
failure aof the motor-borne machine
guns. This war is one Of trench
fighting. The armies were locked al
most to immobility for months. There
is practically no skirmishing in the
ordinary sense of the term, no pa
trolling, little opportunity for surpris-
ing and annihilating small detach-
ments of the enemy by means Of ma
chine guns and getting away before
the artillery can unlimber.
Besides, the lowering aeroplan
quickly spotted gun bearing motors
near enough to the front to be a po-
tential menace and signalled back to
the formation. Very soon thereafter
q battery or two would begin deliv.
ering shells in uncomfortable proxim-
ity. So the armored cars were
trundled back to the rear and left at
the base to await another turn in
wars wheel of fortune. 1t has not
come yet.
Nevertheless, the combination of
machine gun and motor If properly
used will be invaluable in guarding
the United States from successful in
vasion. 1t is as vitality necessary
here as it is useless in Europe, since
conditions of warfare there and on
this continent are almost exactly 1e-
versed
On the western European front the
line is only 800 to 400 miles in length.
The United States has 5000 miles Of
coast line and hostile border. Sol
diers face one another over every
foot of disputed territory there. 1t
is manifestly impossible TO raise an
army large enough to entrench to
repel invasion along the ocean fronts
and the Mexican border of the United
States. There is no necessity Of
watching the Canadian border, since
We have been at peace with Canada
for more than a century.
Every harbor landing place on both
our shores and each one Of the 1900
miles of our sun-baked southern line
must be scanned if We would stop the
invaders attack. How? By machine
gun motor cars.
The army is awake to-the necessity
of coast and border patrol and ex-
periments have been going on in
Texas during the last year to deter
mine the best type of car for the
purpose. Three distinct kinds of
motor cars have been used. First
considerable fleet of small, light cars
carrying two machine guns with their
crews was employed. They did Lot
prove satisfactory in the difficnlt
Texas conditions The engines, when
the cars were compelled to 60 slow.

swiftly to the scene Of a threatened
attack.
A motor patrol OF less ambitious
type than outlined above was estab-
lished on the border when armorcd
motorcycles mounting one machine
gun in the sidecar worked out Of
Columbus, N. NJ. On these cars, how
ever, there was no armor protection
for the driver, so that a single bul-
let might disable the patrol and
cause it capture. With an armored
car carrying six men and moving
rapidly, and equipped with machine
guns to fight back effectively, only
an ambushed surprise by at least a
company of infantry would prove for
midable. -. 4

cult, one set being introduced in one
side of the line and the remaining set
in the opposite side of the line. A
good example of q two pole switch Is
shown diagramnatically in Figure 2,
which represents the connections OF
the rotating starting switch on the
1913 Haynes car. =
Muitipole switches are these having
more than q single set of contacts.
A very good example of q multipole
switch is found in early models of
The Delco systems, in !, which the
switch was used for connecting four
sections OF storage battery IN par
ailel for charging and In series for
operating the starting motor.
Kinds Of Switches r...
A blade switch is one In which the
connection Is completed by a metal
blade which may be caused to move
IN contact with the side Of metal
jaw or between two metal jaws. A
common form OF single pole blade
switch Is shown in figure 3.
A snap switch is one In which the
opening and closing Of the electrical
circuit or circuits which the switch is
10 control are performed by a snap
action in the switch. This snap &C
ton is produced by q coil spring which
winds up as the handle Of the switch
II turned. After q certain movement
OF the handle the spring is released
and allowed to cause the contracting
mechanism Of the switch to rotate
through fractional part of the revo.
luton. This rotation of the contact.
ing mechanism is performed in a very
short time, thus reducing the tendency
TOR electrical areas to form at the
points of make and break. An ex-
ample is shown in figure 4, in which
the switch cover is removed partially
so that the interior is somewhat ex.
posed to view.
A plug switch is one in which the
switching action is performed by NOV.
ing plunger In or out Of an opening
In the top Of the switch cover. This
plunger may be made of metal or in
sulating material, and IL made of met
al 1t may form part Of the electrical
circuit when the switch is closed, al
though not always. The plug itself
may be so constructed that it can be
and the switch made inopera-
tive until the plug again il inserted.
Plug switches usually are confined to
the operation Of ignition and lighting
circuits. /. > KILL.
