iu South Bend this week on bust
ness for his firm. He was found
az the Jefferson hotel. and had sew
eral observations to make regarding
Impressions gained in this country
and the reconstruction plan that is
being worked out both in this coun-
try and England.
The problem is not one OF poll
ties, but OF industry" declared Mr..
MOntmorency. THE greatest boon
TO the soldiers at the present time
Is a job they consider in line with
their ability. and a reasonable
amount OF pay for doing that work.
There is talk in some quarters about
poor labor conditions in England.
But they are the same there as here.
The large plants must first get firm
ly established on a peace basis be-
fore they can hope 10 do much in
the way of reconstruction. Talk
OF bOlshevism in England or Ameri-
ca is merely propaganda"
In addition TO observations re-
garding industrial conditions he also
expressed the belief hat there
would be renewed interest in the
yacht races upon their resumption.

WASTE PROBLEM IN
TIRE EQUIPMENTS
Commercial Economy Board
Takes Hand in Effect
ing Solution.

Only recently IL has come 10 Off
cial notice how great waste in tires
is due TO using equipment OF too
small dimensions. When the COM
mercial economy board at Washing
ton was presented with a compari-
son between the tire equipments act
ualIy carried by 21 of the leading
makes Of automobiles and the equip
ments recommended by the tire
manufacturers. based on the weight
of the cars with load, the astonish-
ing fact was revealed hat only
seven of the cars listed are equip
by the tire companies.
The new regulation sanctioned by
the government, which goes into eff
feet within the year, greatly reduces
the number of tire sizes. so that this
question Of proper equipment must
again be taken up by all motor car
manufacturers. II has developed
from the tabulation of the nearest
new sizes for this same list Of auto-
mobiles that only one more ear, or a
total of eight, will be equipped with

the tire companies. In comment
ing on this condition, Ralph Murphy,
engineer for the FRANKLIN Automo-
bile Co, pointed out hat the Frank
lin a was the only one in the list
that exceeded the tire size prescribed
by the tire manufacturers. Mr..
Murphy said that the Franklin Co.
has always done its own figuring on
tire equipment. basing the require
ments on the same engineering
principles on which the strength and
wearing qualities Of any other part
o. the al are based.
The Franklin Co. is constantly
conducting experiments on different
size tires and different types OF tires
in order 10 keep informed as TO lust
the right combination 10 render max
ped with tires as large as called for
imum mileage. II is a Franklin
principle which is becoming recog-
nized more and more by other a
makers. hat tire mileage is gov
erned greatly not only by the total
weight Of the car but also by the
weight of the inspiring parts which
bear directly on the tires. 1t is es-
sential hat tires be big enough To
withstand the effect OF this element
of the weight. This point Of design
is largely responsible for the ample
tire equipment which has always
been found on Franklin cars.
II economy Of tires and reliability

Murphy. the thing 10 look 20 first j.
the size or tires in proportion TO TN
weight of the loaded car. and sec
ondly. 10 observe how the weight is
distributed between the sprung and
inspiring parts. Furthermore. Just
those elements hat make a car easy
riding also make il easy on tires. it
should be remembered. Tires
chosen on this basis would very
greatly reduce the number of spares
that IL is necessary to carry on the
cars registered in this country
spare tires having lately been point
ed out as another source OF tire
waste.
