the German resistance now is of the most desperate character. The en- emy is reported to have massed enor- nous numbers of guns in this region and to be hurriedly strengthening the already strong positions.
 Inroads have been made on the Massif on the west by the French, however, and there are indications that they intend accepting the sta bilizing of the line in this sector which the Germans so evidently de- sire. Berlin reports an attack by the French along this line, but declares it was repulsed along the whole front with heavy losses to the attacking forces.
 Northeast ot soissons the Germans reacted, counter attacking in the Laf- faux region in strong force. The French repulsed the drive and took prisoners from five different regi- ments, an indication of considerable massing of forces by the enemy in this limited area.

MILLER TIRE MEN
 ARE AL EXPERTS

By the gambling element in tires said F. C. Millhoff, sales manager of the Miller Rubber company, Akron, ! Ohio, before a convention of leading dealers, T, of course, mean the failure of two tires of the same brand, for example. to render equal mileage. To make even more lucid You buy two tires of the same kind. You put them on at the same time and subject them to equal wear and tear. What normal ly is the result? There is a variance in mileage of possibly hundreds of miles.
 Now mind you this difference in tires reputed to be good tires is not be- cause of shoddy material. Good rubber and good fabric are procurable by all manufacturers. True not all manu- lecturers compound alike the rubber and moreover it is a fact that all do not pursue the same avenue in vulcanizing But the fundamentals of tire making are generally pretty much the same.
 Then what is it that brings about these variations of mileage in tires built side by side? It is simply this: The manufacture may have driven out the mechanical variations but he has not eliminated the human variabies. ] AllU dS ifluCu Ol tire building IS ldnd-
 work variations in vital operations | inevitably result in that much of a | variance in mileage. And the less skilled the men doing the. work, the | wider the variance. Hence if uni | formity in mileage must come, mani- i festly there must be uniformity in 1 building.
 | Men must vie successfully with ma | chine accuracy. Miller has recognized i this Today none but the thoroughly 1 proficient builders are employed in it's i factory. Only one man out of twenty five applicants is equal to the stand ard of Miller tire building This na-
 turally confines Miller tire building to l the cream of experienced, thoroughly | seasoned men.
 Yet scientific records check even the vital operations of these men. That they are equal to the test is evidenced
 by the remarkable average personal
 efficiency of 96 per cent Of all the
 tires they build less than 1 per cent

FORMER ALCO PLANT

Pressing need for much greater space in which to manufacture United States solid truck tires, which have had such huge scales that the output has more than doubled in quantity in the past two years. is the reason given by the United States Rubber company for it's recent purchase of the large manufacturing plant of the American Locomotive company at Providence, Rhode Island
 The property immediately adioins the Revere plant of the United States Rubber company, where the company has concentrated it's solid tire activi- ties. The new plant will be part of the Revere unit which thus becomes a dominant factory in the country for the manufacture of solid truck tires. The enlarged organization of the unit will remain under the direction of H. W. Waite, the factory manager of the Revere plant. whose successful admin istratiOn in his present position is thg"

SMALL TRUCK WILL
 SUPP[ANT LARGER
 MODELS |S BELIEF

That the three quarter ton pneu- matic tired truck will eventually sup plant the one and a half and two-ton types in the work they have been do- ing: that the two-ton truck in turn will supplant the five-t ton in the ser vice it has previously been considered best adapted for; and that the five ton truck will, save in a very restricted sense, take the place of all heavier types, is the startling assertion made by sales, manager F. H. Akers of the Rec Motor Car company.
 T base this assertion on observa- ton of work that cur trucks are doing in all parts of the country and in ali kinds of business" said MT Akers and on the tendency that is unmis- takable on the part of buyers to re- new their equipment with the lighter types(instead of the former heavy ones they considered best.
 "The answer is simple.
 Tn only a small percentage of cases does the load equal the capacity of. let us say, the two-ton truck. And in an equally small percentage of cases is the entire load to be delivered to one place.
 Tn other words, the loads can just as well be split up into two or three smaller loads and thus render possible use the lighter, speedier truck with ! the result that two or three trips can | be made in the time it would otherwise l take to make one and at q lesser cost | per ton mile.
 i Now if these smaller loads are to ! go each to different point or to be | distributed in small lots or packages to several points on a long route, the saving of time and fuel is still greater.
 We used to think that if, on occa- ! sion. the load would amount to two tons or thereabout, we must have a truck of not less than that capacity. Experience proves this theory to have been wrong in fully ninety per cent of cases.
 There used to ~be another theory , that has been proven equally erron- eous namely, that pneumatic tires were not suitable for truck service.
 That old bugbear, the puncture, was always uppermost in buyers minds and they did not stop to realize that in city service the percentage of pune lures is so small as to be practically negligible.
 The tnng that has brought the pneumatic tire to the front is the tre- mendous saving effected in the chassis by mounting it on air instead of on solid rubber There has never yet been found any substitute so cheap ol so resilient as air and that, of course is the basic principle of the pneuma- tic tire.
 Today many tire experts contend that everything up to five tons will ul- timately be carried on pneumatic tire: and I find they agree with me what the five ton truck will be the maximum capacity required save in certain re stricted classes of work such as haul ing coal or stone.
 Just as the 3-4-ton truck is rapidly supplanting the two-ton vehicle ir service which the two-ton truck form erly performed so the 2-ton truck is now supplanting the and 5-ton trucl in the heavier service.
 The same principle holds -smalle loads delivered in quicker time and a lesser cost per ton mile"
