Rubber Compound

Rubber compound is an automo-
bile tire protector. If used as d.
rected. having been tested by a wide
use. more or less upon the road. the
manufacturer feels confident that a
wide knowledge of it's merits will
largely increase It's demands. The
facts of good results, in prolonging
the life of the tire by increased
toughness of the fiber of the rubber,
adds many miles of life to the tire,
which materially reduces the cost of
the improved rubber tire. It is a
valuable consideration to the owner
of the automobile. 1t applies to the
solid truck tires also with the Same
good results. 1t will preserve and
keep leather, curtains and top of the
automobile and can be used with
good results on the body and wheels
of the same. Adam Orris, Manufac-

TIMELY HINTS ON
THE USEOF TIRES
Extreme Care Should Be
Taken of All Tires to
Conserve Supply

In the motor transport service of
the French army any driver who re-
POI is a cracked cylinder is givon q
s-'n prison sentence. During cold
weather these drive must use ex-
treme care, for the scarcity of cer-
tain chemicals pr o.. bits the use Of
nonfreezIng solutions. Consequently
all radiators must lie drained when
the trucks are allowed to stand .or
q while.
The supply of trucks is limitsi
ana each must therefore yield its
utmost service, The lack OF one
truck may mean the death of
number of valuable men. So. in
France. conservation is compulsory
and carelessness and waste are
crimes.
Such stringent measures may not
be employed here to conserve our
resources. Our government may
not find it necessary to enforce
drastic measures to compel the ure-
buying public to make the available
supply of tires go as far as possible.
But If the war continues for several
more years, pneumatic tires are
going to become continually scarcer,
and 1t will be nccr"Sa Fnr tire users
to give some real thought to the
conservation of our tire supply,
otherwise a good percentage of cars
may in time be laid up for the lack
of tire equipment.
So the time to begin the practice
of conserving tires Is right noW'
while we have the tires. And in car
rying out this program the poss1-
bilities of repairing tires as an aid
in tire conservation are looming up
bigger than ever. Careful driving.
frequent inspection, maintenance or
proper air pressures, filling of tread
cuts, etc, are all important in Sc
curing good mileage. But a GER
tain number of tires are bound to
be injured and others will be mis-
used. In the future, instead of cast
ing these tires aside as useless, a
tire saver, a built-in tread or a re-
tread viii have to put them back
into service.
will it pay to repair my tires ?"
the motorist asks Answering this
question, the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company is offering little
timely advice as to the practicability
of tire repairs, that may help the
tire user in his decision.
Take, for example. a 30xS u tire
which has received a "stone bruise'
after running about $500 miles. The
tires usefulness is at an end and
no redress or reimbursement is in
order in the absence of any inher-
ent defect in the tire. Will a sec
tional repair, costing. say. 81, pay?
Most motorists know what average
mileage their tires deliver, and by
dividing the price of the tire by the
average mileage received. can ascer-
tain their tire cost per mile.
For instance, if a motorist is OBJ
tanning an average of 5000 miles
from tire that costs $4,000. his
tire cost per mile is two-fifths of a
cent. To make a $400 repair pay
for itself he must therefore receive
1000 additional miles, and if the
repair is well done much more mile
age than this will be secured
So, repairing tires is not only a
patriotic duty that all car owners
must perform, but a good business
proposition for the tire user.

CHAPTER XIX.

High up in one of the topmost cham
bers of the Hotel Plaza, Nikasti, after
his conference with Won Schwerin and
Fischer, sought solitude. He opened
the high windows. out Of which he
could scarcely see, dragged up chest
Of drawers and perched himself, ORR
entail fashion, on the top, his long
yellow fingers intertwined around his
knees. his soft brown eyes gazing
over the wooded slopes Of the park.
He was away from the clamor of
tongues. from the poisoned clouds of
sophistry, even from the disturbance
Of his own thoughts, melted by spe-
cious arguments to some form Of reci-
and searched for the true things. His
eyes seemed to be travelling over the
battlefields of Europe. He saw the
sWaying fortunes of mighty armies,
he looked into council chambers, ne
seemed to feel the pulses Of the great
most amazing juggernaut. He saw
the furnaces Of Japan, blazing by night
and day; saw the forms Of hundreds Of
thousands Of his fellow creatures bent
to their task; saw the streams of ships
leaving his ports, laden down with
stores; saw the great guns speeding
across Siberia, the endless trains of am
munition, the rifles, food for the famine
stricken giants who beat upon the air
with empty fists He saw the gold come
streaming back. He saw 1t poured into
the banks, the pockets of the merchants,
the homes Of his people. He saw bright
ening days throughout the land. He
saw the slow but splendid strength Of
the nation rejoicing in its new possibili-
ties. And beyond that, what? Wealth
was the great means toward the great
end but II the great end were once lost
sight of, there was no more hideous

CHAPTER Xxx.

Fischer raised his eyebrows in mild
surprise to find Nikasti waiting for
him in the sitting room that evening,
with his overcoat and evening hat.
He closed the door of the bedroom
from which he had issued carefully
behind him.

Nikasti stood suddenly to attention.
1T Is Mr.. Van Teyl who returns" he
warned them.
He glided from the room, shaking
out a little the dress coat which he
mad been carrying. The two men
looked after him. Fischer threw his
cigar savagely away ana lit another.
Curse these orientals!" he muttered.
They listen and listen, and one never
knows. Van Teyl won't be here for
hours. That was just an excuse to
get away"
But there was a smile Of triumph on
Won Schwerin's lips.
