Corps, q. s. A.
Though the greatest experiments
made in motor truck operation were
by the army. the navy has not been
slow to study some phases OF this
problem, and has been particularly
careful about some Of the experiments
which have been conducted on shore.
| Not the least important OF these was
an experiment in the use of tires on
trucks, through all kinds OF weather.
The navy has demonstrated that the
use of the pneumatic tire even on the
heaviest types Of trucks is for its
kind of work far more economical
than the use Of solid tires. 1t must
be noted that the qualification Is
made that the saving Is great for its
uses.
Proven Worth In Navy.
UnquestionabIy there is an argu-
ment about the use of the pneumatic
tire for slow. heavy. hard work
through heavy ground. but the tests
made by the navy at the Great Lakes
station, near Waukegah, ILL.,, show
that the pneumatic tire there has been
of the greatest value. and wonderful
ly economical.
The work OF the navy station
trucks was largely hauling about that
camp, and also for the long haul into
the city OF Chicago. This haul was
comparable with the problem Of the
highway transport or for the average
user of a motor truck whose opera
tions are over good roads, for much
OF the distance over which the trucks
are operated.
The test made by the Great Lakes
uNo A. rlyu
OF different designs and types, some
operated on solid and some on pneu-
matte tires. The tests showed that
some items OF repair and upkeep and
the cost OF operation on the pneu
matte tired truck was only about half
the cost of the same type OF truck
operated in the same manner with the
solid tires.
Items Of UpkeeP.
The items of upkeep included in
this comparison were those chiefly in
volving the engine, exclusive Of gas
consumption, oil. use, and the upkeep
Of the moving parts OF the machine
exclusive OF the engine One group
ing OF upkeep and operating costs
showed a figure OF just cents a
mile on the pneuamtic tired truck.
while the same items were just I'M
der cents on the solid tire vehicle.
The following improvements were
found on the pneumatic tired equip
ment as compared with the solid tire:
Repairs and depreciation, operating
radius, gas and oil consumption, and
ability TO navigate slippery roads.
1t must be noted in this connection
that the road to Chicago, over which
much OF the haul in question was
made, was permanent, improved high
way. without the ordinary country
haulage difficulties. This is mentioned
to avoid unfair exaggeration OF the
really excellent record made by the
inflated tire.

pneumatic tires comes back to the |

Hioh Heels Lessen Vitality.

High heels prevail in spite of the
promise of something wiser in build
coming into popular favor. Yet, to
quote well-known doctor: No wo-
man pretends that she Is comfortable
when wearing high heels nor can she
hope to be graceful when wearing
them. for the body is thrown out Of
poise and the action of the feet IL re-
stricted. More serious than her awk-
wardness is the eventual injury to her
health. For in the effort to preserve
her equilibrium the shoulders are
thrown forward. depressing the chest;

means poorer blood and final de-
crease In vitality. This comes grad
