RUBBER TIRES BEST
Writer Says Horse-Drawn Vehicle
Does Most Harm.

In snacting some drastic legisla-

the province OF Quebec, in Canada,
has alleged that motor trucks serious
Iy damage the roads, says the Power
Wagon. Regarding the question Of
solid rubber versus steel tires, an in
terestinE letter from the engineer of
westmount, a town just outside Mon
treal, was read.
The writer said:
"On sheet asphalt pavements there
g. very little choice between the two
(soIid rubber or steel tires). except
that rubber tires, would prevent ex-
cessive loads being carried as the rub
Der would be damaged before the as
phalt: the expense would. therefore,
be borne by the individual and not by
the public.
"On macadam roads with bituminous
carpet surface the damage by caIks
on horses feet At this season of the
year is enormous, as they dig the Bit
luminous surface completely of the
road. Comparing mechanically driven
vehicles on solid rubber tires with
mechanically driven vehicles on solid
steel tires, would say that steel tires
should be prohibited or heavily PEN
alised. Comparing solid rubber tires
with pneumatic tires, there IL very
little choice

chemical II is true. but today the stor-
age battery is in vogue on account of
the electric starting and lighting idea.
The later magnetic which produced
mechanically is now being

Battle Of the Cylinders.
"The battle OF the cylinders, then
as now, ragged furiously In the early
part OF automobile history, the one
