CRUDE RUBBER
IMPORTATION IS
CUT oNE.TH|RD
Government Schedule for May,
June and July Cuts Supply
About 65 Per Cent;
MAY Lift Embargo. ,

According to G. w. Hiett, manager
of the Omaha branch of the Kelley
Springfield Tire company, official
Washington has announced that dur
the next three months (May, June
and July) importations of rubber from
South America are to be limited to
$4,000 tons, which would be at the
rate of 100000 tons year as against
10000 tons during 1917.
Uncle Sans own present rubber
requirements are estimated at 4O,OOO
tons year, or 10000 tons every three
months, so that out of the $4,000 tons
to be imported uring the next three
months only $4,000 tons Of raw ma
terial-about IS per cent of last years
figuYes-will go to the rubber indus
" fry for its regular requirements. This
$4,000 tons is to be allotted to various
manufacturers on a proportional ba-
sis. the proportion of each company
is to receive being determined by the
authorities from questlonnaires which
have been filed.
Exactly what effect the govern
ment's action is going to have on the
tire situation it is too soon to say,
especially as no zone knows whether
or not the restriction will be lifted at
the end of the three month period, but
from present indications it is reason
able to assume that before the sum-
,mer is over more or less serious
shortage of tires will exist.
b. Naturally the government orders
are to have priority. After they have
been taken care of the demands OF
private owners will be given consid-
Grafton.
ITO prevent boarding and profteer-
ing" asserts Hiett, "the government
shas fixed the prices of crude rubber.
While the prices fixed are fair and
while we believe the action of the
government in fixing them to be wise,
it is hardly likely that this price fixing
will have much effect in keeping down
the prices of finished rubber products,
these prices being regulated largely
by the supply and demand for par
ticular brands of goods. H..
"The one bright spot in the situa-
ton is the fact that the big tire man
ufacturers have agreed to cut down
the number of sizes of pneumatic tires.
It is stated that no more Ford cars
are TO be equipped with the 30x3
Omaha daily bee., 1918-06-16

fewer types and sizes, and the dealer
in his turn can carry complete stocks
of full line with less strain on his
bank account.
"The situation brought about by the
limitation of rubber shipments is thus
by no means an unmixed evil. Un-
doubtedly it is going to hit some man
ufacturers rather hard, but if it will
free any ships for transport purposes
it is going to be worth whatever it
costs. Our industry is not the only
one that has suffered from a restric-
ton of the raw material supply, and
if by putting up with little hardship
we can help to end the war by get
ting an army into France more quick
ly, we are going to grin and bear it."

sizes, the standard Ford equipment
to be 30x31A, though the government
will use 3lx4, the oversize"
"In future the following sizes of
tires are the only ones that will be
offered to car manufacturers: 30x3H,
3lx4, 32x3H, 33x4, 34x4A, 35x5,
"The larger tire makers have furth-
er agreed that within two years they
will discontinue entirely the manufac-
ture of all tires of sizes other than
those enumerated.
"The car manufacturers on their
side are all going over to the straight
side type of tire, which means furth-
er great saving to the whole tire in
dustry. The tire manufacturer can
now concentrate on the production of

Protecting Dry Cells

Dry cells are considerably open to
outside inimcal influences, dampness,
ETC., and really need more protection
than they usually get. An extremely
valuable idea in this connection, is to
cut an old inner tube into sections,
just to fit the dry cells, slipping the
rubber covering over these latter, as
il it were a stocking. This protects
them admirably from short circuiting
influences.
