Car Owners Should Give
Thought to Wheels Of Auto
They Are Among the Hardest Working Parts of the
Machine and Yet But Few Pay Any Attention to
Their Care.

The modern automobile wheel is
among the hardest working parts of
the car, and yet so we'll has it been
perfected that it rarely gives trou-
Bile, and the average car owner is
almost oblivious to anything except
its bare existence. And yet, strange
as it may seem, it looks as if we
were on the verge OF some change
in the wheel field, though it is not
likely to be the complete revolution
that some authorities seem to i'm
agine.
Wheels at the present time in use
may be divided into four major
classes-wood, wire, disk and steel
spoke wheels. The latter type is
practically confined to motor truck
construction, but cannot be entirely
neglected in any comprehensive
view OF the wheel situation.
The predominating type of wheel
at the present time is the wood
wheel, made of second growth
American hickory. There is no real
cause of complaint against the serv-
ice rendered by this type Of wheel,
although many academic flaws are
picked in it by experts who favor
other types. Until recently it was
assumed that failure of the supply
of second growth hickory would
eventually compel our wheel makers
to switch to another type. Recent
government forestry figures, how.
ever, seem to show that we have a
supply of this wheel material suffi-
Gent to, last for some time. This be-
ing so, ii is scarcely likely that any

Order Is Placed for

to the effect that the Omaha Hart

one of the largest tractor orders
ever received by the company. This
order is for $50 tractors the total

John Van Dohren, who is respon-
sible for the organizing of the Oma-
ha Hart-Parr company seems to feel
that this is a very modest estimate
of the number of tractors which can
be sold in Nebraska and western
Iowa during the coming year. He

other type Of wheel will Dust the
wooden wheel from its position of
pre-eninence in the American mo-
tor car industry.
May Go to Piecest
While the wooden wheel is gener-
ally efficient in service, occasionally
this type has been known to go to
pieces under excessive strains. Wire
wheel advocates claim that this can
never happen with their favorite
type. The commonest failure of
wooden wheels is the development
OF annoying squeaks. This trouble
may be remedied by driving wooden
wedges into the spiders where the
spokes have become loosened. Car
owners frequently neglect to give
due attention to the hub bolts Of
their wooden wheels. These bolts
pass through the wheel and hold the
hub plate in position. In the case Of
the rear wheels the hub bolts also
hold the brake drums. If these bolts
are permitted to become loose, the
wheel will be thrown out of align
ment. This will make driving diff
cult and inevitably tire wear will be
enorm ous.y increased.
Next in popularity to wooden
wheels comes the wire type. Strange
ly enough the wire wheel was the
original automobile wheel, but it
was simply lifted bodily from the
bicycle and was quite inadequate to
stand the strains of its new service.
Later considerable changes in de-
