question was extremely casual.
My young brother" Peggy replied.
Tom Price took his big hands from
the carriage handle and stood still
before her. "Your brother!' he la
mented; land all this time I'VE been
trying to keep from falling in love
with another fellows girl"
You have no right to speak to me
like that" Peggy began severely, but
Immediately her anxiety was trans
ferred to the nearness of a surrounding
stone wall.
This is the place." she whispered,

Just you leave it all to me-" Tom
magnanimously suggested.
AS there was still no response to
their summons at the great house
door, perplexed and feeling rather
guilty, Peggy followed her protectors
advice and waited with him upon the
veranda.
Her eyes softened as the nice man
rocked the baby in his arms.
He is not bit afraid of you." she
murmured.
Then Tom Price laughed. "Why
should he be?" he said. HE is my sis

couple of hours this afternoon. I'd
just gone to hunt up his nurse when
you came and stole him.
"And you didn't tell me- Peggy ac-
cused. "You kept walking along and

| Government Test on
Tires Sharp and Severe

Though perhaps every motorist real
ICES how sturdy the construction of
serviceable auto tires must be to with
stand successfully all the varied strain
to which they are subiccted, 1t Is only
when one knows officially Of the Cruel
ling tests which the government APP
piled in war time before approval that
thorough appreciation of their remark
able resistance is available.
We quote from a report of one of
the officers of the Motor Transport
Corps as to the nature of these tests:
"The road test was very severe, be-
ing over some of the worst roads in
Maryland with an exceptionally heavy
load Of merchandise.
"The chemical test was scientific, the
tire being put into tank of very
strong acids and salts and kept therein
for forty-eight hours. After the chem
ical test it was put through what is
means that the tire is put into an oven
and baked and the results showed
whether or not the rubber was properly
cured.
"The overseas test is the most inter
esting and severest of them all. The
tire is put on a spin wheel with an
inner tube with hundred pound air
pressure and spun around on sort of
cam shaft at terrific rate of speed,
hitting all kinds of broken metal and
glass, tacks and nails, and in fact sew
eral sorts of sharp edges that would
penetrate through the rubber and
fabric.
"All the above experiments required
a new pneumatic tire of each make for
each test, and the tires were bought
at different points throughout the
United States, so that the manufacture
ers would not get specially made tires
for tests"
One Of the newest tires on the mar
ket, the Brunswick, is reported to have
held the highest average in these rigor-
OuS tests

More individuals Now
Buying Cars, Says Noorhis

Increased individual buying power
on the part of the public is response
bic for the greatest spring demand for
motor cars in the history of the auto
mobile business, according to Charles
B. Noorhis. general sales manager of
the Nash Motors Company.
Dealers throughout the country re-
port an extremely high percentage of
sales for spring delivery in which no
other car is taken in trade says Mr..
Noorhis. This means. taking the coun-
try as a whole. that thousands of per
sons are choosing their first auto
mobile. The increase in buying power
is undoubtedly due to number of
things that developed during the eigh-
teen months preceding the signing of
the armjstice.
During that period the cost of liv-
ing was higher. but money was never
more plentiful. In s.e country dis

tricts farmers received good compen-
sation for wheat and other cereals.
In the large industrial centres work
was plentiful and wages higher than
in normal times. This condition. of
course, meant good business for mer-
chants both in small towns and in
large cities.
AT the same time there was a gen
eral tendency on the part of the pub
lie to avoid extravaganza. With con
ditions swinging back to normal and
with the relaxation that has come over
the country following the trying eirh-
teen month period, it is only natural
that this increased individual buy-
ing power is reflected in the unusual
demand for cars this spring"

about the limit hereabouts. The reason
for overestimating hills is that in
looking up grade the distance appears
to be much less than it is really; we
seem to see great rise in short
distance and of course conceive of a
steep grade. If the eye properly Judged
distance with height we would know
that perhaps it was but gentle slope.
Hills That Look Steep
When going down one grade and
about to start up another invariably
the one ahead seems to be very steep.
because here we have even greater
angle of observation. 1t is like esti-
mating the height of waves at sea. The
unaccustomed eye, when the ships bow
goes eyre the crest of wave, sees the
mast tops apparently on level with the
next wave and AZ once calls the wave
100 feet high, because it is compared
with the height of the mast. The angle
OF the mast was wholly neglected.
Sometimes when touring the motor
appears to be pulling fine on an appar-
entity steep hill, while at other times
the opposite is true and the motor la
bors on what we think a slight rise
The reason lies in the wrong estimate
In each case. The eye has led up to
jump at a conclusion by observing the
grade AT wrong angle.
To test out my eye as to grades
have been measuring some of them re-
Gently, with the following result:
West Drive in Central Pavk, Just
below 10th Street, going north, Az
per cent; going south, So per cent.
Viaduct on l55th Street west of Cen
trail Bridge, is Sc per cent, while the
slight hill at the west end of the via
duct is 10 per cent.
The well-known Fort George hill, the
scene of so many hill-climbing tests,
is about II per cent
Probably one of the steepest hills in
the city is little stretch of 1S7th
Street from Broadway to Wadsworth
Avenue, where the grade is Is per cent.
In figuring the percentage of grade
1T should be remembered that 100 foot
rise in 100 feet horizontal distance
gives an angle of 45 degrees, but it is
100 per cent grade.
While we are likely to overestimate
grades care should be had that we do
not overestimate the pulling power of
the engine on grades. One should learn
to shift gears handly and then give
the engine a chance. 1t will tend for
longer life for the power plant. and the
minute or so longer spent on the hill

To Spend a Billion
On Automobile Tires

American motorists will spend
more than 81 900, 100000 for automo-
bile and truck tires in 1919. This is
the estimate of the 3. F. Goodrich
Rubber Company, and Is based on
conservative average price to each
tire. This amount does not include
money expected to be expended for
inner tubes and repair materials,
which undoubtedly would swell the
total by several million dollars.
Before the year closes it Is con-
fidently expected that fully 7,300,o 900
motor vehicles will be in operation
In this country. Three-fourths of
the tires for this enormous number
of cars and trucks will be made In
Akron, Ohio.

quite swift enough for any one, con-
