SUPER-SRE CORD TIRES RESULT OF
 STRENUOUS TESTS

A dozen test cars traveling 300 dred miles a day for three years was the crucible from which came the Firestone super size cord tire, a new product recently announced by the Firestone Tire & Rubber Go.
 With infinite patience the F1restone company continued it's tests of various sizes and types of cord tires in an ef- fort to develop a distinctive equip ment. The test cars were routed over all sorts Of roads, the drivers working in two eight hour shifts, covering 15O miles each shift. The drivers were re- quired to keep an accurate log of their trips, showing what distance of the road was smooth, muddy or rocky and the grade of the hills.
 By an analysis of the wear on the tires and the drivers logs, the testing department at the factory was able to determine just what improvements were necessary. It was found that the best cord material molded into an oversize tire gave the most miles per dollar"
 Tests of this type-known as the super size cord-showed a mileage of from 5000 to 16,500 miles varying ac- cording to the road conditions The tests also showed that the super size cord would increase the mileage from two to five miles per gallon of gaso- line because of it's greater residence and fleXibility.

FINE MILEAGE
 RECORDS MADE
 BY PAIGE CARS

Recently the question was asked: How far can six-cylinder car travel on a gallon of gasoline? The Paige answered that under carefully inspect ed and attested conditions, Paige seven passenger "Six-51" covered F miles flat and the record was sworn to by responsible witnesses.
 Now the Paige comes forward with another demonstration of gasoline mileage. this time with it's smaller
 six-cylinder model, the Linwood Six 39," which made an attested record of
 twenty and nine-tenths mlIes before
 the gallon of low test gasoline was eX-
 hausted.
 With five men in the car the smaller , Paige, with a 39 horsepower motor, was driven over exactly the same route that the larger Paige had followed in making it's record of seventeen miles to a gallon, which included both city and country driving. As before the
 speedometer had been tested for ac- 1 curacy. The engine gave it's last gasp at twenty and nine-tenths miles.
 The car was made to do some high I gear hill climbing to demonstrate that 1 the carburetOr was not cut down fine ! for low gas consumption. The cal 1 was driven at an average speed ot
 about twenty miles an hour at which | pace the motor shows it's highest eff | ficiency The clutch was not slipped ! Three of the passengers were news i paper men who attested to the record
 also to the fact that there were no ! carburetor adjustments or tricks of any ! kind and that the test was made un- | der actual running conditions.

An innovation that is destined to have a marked effect on the efficiency and comfort of motor truck drivers and one that will give increased re- suits to truck owners is that of the all year cab, originated, designed and built by the Kissel Motor Car company, Hartford, Wisconsin.
 It is a new adaptation of Kissers original convertible idea, giving to truck drivers, a closed, warm cab in winter, and which can be easily and quickly changed into the Kissel stand ard open cab in summer.
 Standing a little over five f-et from chassis frame to roof, the cab frame is of extra hard wood, bolted and locked. All sides and doors are cov- cred with specially treated sheet metal enabling the cab to withstand the twists of the frame when negotiat- ing rough roads. Instead of the com mon wooden dash that loosens quickly. the all-year cab dash is of heavy plated metal giving unusual substan tiality

M0RE KNITTING

 The need for these garments was never more urgent said Mr. Smyth Less than month ago l talked with the heads of the Navy league and of

ficers of the navy at Washington. and they particularly asked me to carry back to the middle west the message of the need of these garments.
 We need A million sets of these garments between now and the first of next year. said w H. StaytOn eX- ecutive secretary of the league. It is impossible for the women of the east to knit this many garments. We must appeal to the women of the middle west and all parts of the country to do their share. There is always a wastage, due to wear on garments that have been used some time, ana these must be replaced constantly with new sets.

We know a man who has worked all his life for others; for his parents for awhile, then for a wife and children and some of her kin. The world rates him as moderately successful, but his own actual monetary compensation has just about amounted to board and clothes. And at home he hears some complaint because he doesn't do bet ter.
