EXPLAINS BLOW OUTS
Why Tire Will Sometimes Blow Up
When the Car Is Standing
Still

One of the most mysterious things
that happen TO pneumatic tires is the
blowout that follows a stone bruise,
says the B. F. Goodrich Rubber COM
pany.
A tire may sometimes elbow up"
while standing still. Likewise it may
give way while running over aglassy
smoothpavcment. In either case the
owner curses the tire, its maker and
the man who sold it to him.
Very few people who pride on
pneumatic tires understand their
qualities and limitations. Not one
person is hundred takes into con-
sideration the terrific strain put upon
tires when travelling at high speeds
over Ordinary roads. 1t is hard to
visulize the terrific impact when a
tire strikes a stone the size of an egg
imbeddcd in the road while going at
a speed of 35 miles an hour.
At the time blow is struck
only half a dozen threads in one or
two of the powerful plies of fabric
arc broken. These loose threads at
once become a source of trouble. The
breaking of one layer of fabric per-
mits the threads to chafe each other,
setting up an internal friction that
causes further disintegration. The
other plies soon break down and the
blowout comes, usually at time when
circumstances point to no apparent
cause.
Tires should be inspected by good
repair man periodically. A bruised
tire can be successfully repaired by
removing the damaged fabric and
rubber and revulcanizing. Motorists,
themselves, should occasionally exam
inc the inside of the casing to see
if the fabric is ruptured. This
should always be done before an eX-
tended trip.

BRITISH BUILD
CHEAP MOTOR
CAR AT $500
ts
High Costs of Coal and
Labor in England Cause
America Not to Worry

A large British engineerings com
pany has announced its entry into
the field of motor car production with
q model which is openly regarded as
an attempt to meet American COM
petition. The company hopes to put
10000 cars on the market the tlrst
year. This car is of the 1920 horse
power, five passenger type and is to
sell at approximately $1,000
There is no guarantee that the
makers of this car will be successful
in putting it on the market in the
quantity necessary to make the price
possible, nor tat it will prove salts
factory in service. Only one car has
been built for testing purposes. 1t
has been run almost 10000 miles and
is reported to have given a thorough
ly satisfactory performance.
Information from leading American
motor car manufacturers leads the
National Foreign Trade Council to
believe that the manufacture of this
car at the price indicated is extremely
doubtful. Increased costs of coal,
steel, labor, etc, now render it I'M
likely that such a motor can be pro-
duccd in England for less than $1,000
at which price it will not compete
seriously with low-priccd American
cars, even considering the British
import duties of 33 1-3 per cent. So
far as countries other than England
are concerned, it is even more certain
that this car will be unable to meet
American competition, and that such
markets as South America and South
Africa will turn more and more to the
United States for moderate priced
motor cars.

on one of the outlaying streets at
forty-fve miles an hour. TINS truck
will soon be on the market and its
speed range is almst as great as that
OF the average passenger car. or
course, this truck will probably be
governed to run about thirty-tWo
miles an hour so as to hold the engine
speed within reasonable limit.
With this increase in truck rapid
ity there is going to be phase Of
transportation opened which will
prove to be one of the most valu-
able fields of operation for the
truck. This is in the hauling of pro-
duce and garden goods from the out
lying districts to the city. 1t is with
in the scope of the truck to mater
tally reduce the high cost of living,
as by secured over poor roads. In
fact it is difficult to induce even small
capitalists to invest in truck service
over roads that are poor. The main
tenance on the truck and the short
life, or, in other words, the great de-
terioration of the trucks, render 1t
a poor investment,

Der of equines decreased by 21,000.

A large proportion of the decrease
may be attributed to the use of
horses in the war, but against this
must be set. the fact, that during the
same year hogs increased in number
100000; sheep 100000, and cattle
several hundred thousand. The drain
on these animals for war purposes
was undoubtedly much heavier than
on horses.
1t is also significant that horses
showed sharp decline in value per
head in spite of the war demands and
increased numbers. For the first time
in decade they were rated below
500 head, average value, making a
decrease in value of horses for the
one year of $126,261, while all other
classes of animals showed large in
creases.

Secretary Lester Greene of the

ington has been, DO this the way we

started somewhere, swelling toward
the balcony.
"We. don't want the government"
began the rising voices. Marshalrs
voice rang out:
"But the government wants-you! |!

homes, the government will have to, in

Sharply he sat down before the au-

Pandemonium was loose. There were

For many years while was perfecting my

laxatives and cathar.ics on the market and
became convinced that their main fault
was not that they did not act On the bowels,
but that their action was too violent and
drastic, and upset the system OF the user;
which was due to the fact that they were
not thorough enough in their action, some
simply acting on tho upper or small intes-

lower or large intestincs, and that they

QUICK REACTION

In Prussia and the other German
states which have evicted their mon
archs there doubtless exists a consid-
cradle monarchical element that is
not satisfied with the new order. The
German monarchists are, however, too
discreet to shout their propaganda in
the market places. They realize that
they are, for the present at least, a
hopeless minority and that their safe
ty lies in silence
There is a holder spirit in Hungary.
The republican government of the
Magyar state is very weak. The Hun
garian army is demobilized and Jugo-
slavs, Rumanians and Czecho- Slovaks
have occupied large areas of what was
Hungary. The protests of Karolyi and
his associates have been futile. On its
present showing republicanism doubt
less appears to be somewhat of fail
ure.
One result has been the staging of
monarchist demonstrations in Buda-
pest. There has been loud shouting
for king, and the government, ap-
