WHY -
Your Tires Blow Out When
You Spin

A SIX n tiremaker why tires break
"a down and he will promptly
~ answer 'underin6ation' or
"oserIoading," which is the
same thing. A highly inflated tire is
almost as hard as solid rubber. Let
out some cf the air and its sprlnginess
( increases. Since most of US ride for
/ the joy OF it we are inclined to pump
air into our tires too sparingly. The
car bowls along easily; the tire absorbs
all the shocks. But all the time the
underinhated tire fabric is bending
/ and bending at the sides, thousands
and thousands OF times. until at last
the heated interior walls weaken and
a loud explosion breaks upon the air.
That incessant bending and straight
ening of side walls to which tire
is subjected generate heat. Bend
piece of wire back and forth in your
hand many times and it will become
so hot that your fingers cannot hold It.
Heat similarly generated breaks the
chemical union between the inner fab
ric and the outer rubber and reduces
tire to separate layers. No longer
are the strains equally distributed.
One layer is pulled this way, another
that way, moreover. with unequal
forces. Blisters, c0rrugations, bumps
large and small, appear on the surface
Tires are popularity supposed to blow
out because they have been heated by
the sun. No tire manufacturer makes
allowances for hot weather. 1t Is true
that heat expands, but the amount of
expansion due to the sun alone Is neg
ligible. A certain degree OF heat Is
generated in running over the road.
pressure as much as motorcar owners
believe. If the temperature Of the air
Is 80 degrees +. cold enough to freeze
water. If the tire is blown up to a
pressure Of seventy-twO pounds
square inch and If the rise in the
tires temperature at the end OF run
Is 35 degrees the total pressure within
the tube will be seventy-eight pounds,
an increase Of only six pounds. But
il the thermometer records 80 degrees,
as 1t often does on summers day.
the rise In temperature at the end of
an equivalent run will be only 33 de-
grees and the total air pressure seven
ty-seven pounds, an increase Of only |
five and a quarter pounds. Paradox
ical as 1t may seem, the increase in
pressure due to the suns heat Is not |
nearly so great as motorcar users
suppose. For q given distance It Is
actually less on hot than on q cold
day.

CONFERENCE ON COAL
Still in DEADLOCK
No Settlement Reached at Close Of
Fourth Days Session.

At the end of four days of delibera-
ton. the coal miners and operators
of the central district, representative
of the country-at-large. were still
dead-locked last night when the COM
mittees considering wage demands
adjourned until tomorrow.
So far DR.. H. A. Garfield, Fuel Ad-
ministrator, has taken no active part
in settling the differences between
the miners and operators, but it is
expected that he will seek a confer
ence with both sides to the contro-
versy tomorrow.
At the close OF the deliberations
yesterday, the operators, through
DR.. +. C. Honnold, director OF the
National Coal Association, issued a
statement in which he said:
THE operators continue to claim
that numerous districts producing
substantial tonnage are at this time
producing coal which they are COM
PEELED, on the basis of the Presidents s
proclamation, TO sell for less than
cost, and that even in the most favor
ed districts the prices established re-
turn a very narrow margin, much
less than a generous profit, and de-
finitely insufficient to stimulate pro-
duction.

ficult to foretell what the develop
mentments of the coming week may
