Improvements of the last few
years in the construction of tires has
made the old-time mileage guarantee
to all intents and purposes a thing
Of the past" declares H. G. Enders.
"The tendency today is to Judge a
tire by its actual performance, con-
sldering the conditions under which
1t is run.
"In the old days, the days of the
Merry Oldsmobile' and kindred cars
with their maximum speed OF twenty
miles per hour, the tire industry, as
applied to automobiles, was. OF
course, newer than the automobile
itself. 1t was quite In order then
that the tire manufacturer should
evidence faith in his product by
guaranteeing II TO go certain dis
tance. II he didn't have faith in
his product, who would!
with the automobile confined to
its then very limited use, and the
roads in practically the same condi-
tion everywhere. the stress on tires
was slight compared to the heavy
use they are put to today. Under
those conditions a manufacturer
could readily guarantee a given
mileage.
Conditions Changed.
Now. however, conditions have so
changed" says Mr.. Enders. that 1t
is unnecessary. as well as impossible.
to state with any degree of accuracy
the distance in miles perfect tire
will run. II is unnecessary because
tires are made by reputable manu-
facturers and are so constructed to-
day that with proper treatment they
will Withstand rough usage far ex-
ceeding the demands OF the former
mileage guarantee. That II is i'm
possible to guarantee a perfect tire
will run a given number of miles is
true, because the life OF the tire is
dependable not wholly on its own
merits so much as on the conditions
under which and how It is run.
THE utility of the present day
automobile and the correspondingly
greater demand on tires. has made
1t impossible TO state how many
miles tire should run. Just as II Is
impossible to predetermine how
many walking miles your next pair
Of shoes will render. No mileage
guarantee accompanies a new pair
of shoes or any other article depend
ent on wearing conditions for its
life. Under ordinary conditions a

town. We all enjoyed this dinner
immensely and our speakers so ex.
pressed themselves at the close.
Then we rode around Lithia park.
1t contains sixty acres and is right
in the heart Of the city. In the back
ground loom the lofty Siskiyous, with
Mount Ashland capped with perpet-
ual snow towering above Ashland
creek. In this park also are found
two elk given by the local order.
Another interesting feature of this
park is its free automobile camp
ing ground. II was the first munich
pal camp established on the Pacific
coast. It will be interesting to the
folks at home to know that Ashland
furnished gas kitchenettes in this
camp for motorists with a separate
gas plate and locker for each camp
er at cost of rs cents a day for
gas. Forty and fifty camping parties
stay there nightly. They do things
right in the west.
Then we visited the Chautauqua
building. It is the largest of its kind
in the world and a description of 1t
is worth while. 1t is built exactly
on the plan of beehive, 80 feet high
and 1870 feet across with neither
pillar nor girder to support the roof.
The stage is larger than that Of
the Metropolitan opera house in New
York. The building has capacity
Of 5000 people and can be enlarged
to seat $500 people. William Jen-
nings Bryan. Billy Sunday and other
notables have been here. The mayor
of the town illuminated the building
for us and gave us a short talk on its
construction. 1t is built Of strips
one and one-eighth inches wide, and
about one-half inch thick. These
are wound round and round. It was
a big job to do this right and not
puncture the roof. Some firm start
ed at the bottom and failed. The
architect then took hold and started
1t at the top and finished the job.
At times there were $50 carpenters
working on it. The strips are nailed
every six inches. asked the mayor
why they used such thin, narrow
strips. He said because It was cheap,
most Of 1t being cut from waste. The
building stands on concrete walls
IA inches thick at the bottom and is
reinforced by steel beams. This con-
crete is only about ten feet up and
from this the rafters run to the roof
in a curve. 1t is a wonderful build
ing to look at, as It has no cross
beams. 1t cost $21 900 to build, re-
markably cheap. The mayor gave
very interesting demonstration OF
its acoustic powers. As he talked
we heard very loud echo, but he
says 1t is not so pronounced when
the building is filled. He asked some
people to 60 to the rear and then he
dropped a pin on the table and they
heard 1t distinctly. head 1t drop,
too. It was really wonderful. Well,
I guess this enough for Ashland. Il
is wonderful village with a fine eli
mate, zero weather being unknown.

true of tires. Under adverse condi-
tions three thousand miles might be
a remarkable showing for a tire
whereas the same tire would run
twenty thousand miles under more
favorable conditions.

mot content with making ordi-
nary tires, the last two years have
been devoted to producing a tire
that will excel anything on the mar
ket. Reports from all sections OF
the country where their tires have
been in use under every road con-
dition on the cars of users every
where, give evidence Of their having
attained that object. Such an ideal
cannot be realized without giving
time, effort and expense-and these
were given unsparingly. The re-
suits prove that.
"They are working on policy that
requires not only last year, this year
or next year to be marked as particu-
larly successful, but each succeeding
year must bring with 1t consistent
and persistent development. As ap-

itself. In rough usage on heavyma-
chimes and stages It has met with
signal success"
