announced.
In making the award, Mr.. Ford said
he believed the straight eight-hour day
was better than the so-called aeight-
hour basic day." The strain of eight
hours work is enough, he said, and
hours should not be increased except
under the most extraordinary clrcum-
stances.
Commenting on the award, Joint
Chairman Frank P. Walsh said that
the straight eightrhour day was being
generally recognized as more salts

would give impetus to the tendency
for its adoption.

CAUSE OF UNDUE TIRE WEAR
Wheels Out of Alignment and Loose
or Improperly Mounted Rims !,
Are Troublesome.

1t is generally understood nowadays
that wheels which are out Of align
ment cause undue tire wear. Few
owners, however, realize that rims
which are loose or otherwise improp-
erly mounted will have the same effect
Of causing excessively rapid tread
wear. A loose rim generally makes its
presence known by a clicking or
squeaking sound. This is not always
so, for occasionally small stone or
some sand may get in between the rim
and felloe so as to prevent noise. The
rim appears to be tight, but in reality
is running out Of alignment and wear
