AKRON, l., |S TIRE INDUSTRY CENTER
 0F ENTIRE WORLD
Growth of City Has Been Remarkable since Advent Of Automobile and Its Associated Industries

What Detroit is to the automobile, so Akron in a large degree is to the automobile tire. It is a peculiar and
 rather remarkable circumstance that This formerly little known and rather
 obscure small sized middle western city
 should, by the sudden advent of the au-
 tomobile be brought within a decade to
 the position of one of the best known
 and most widely advertised cities in
 the whole world.
 There was nothing about Akron orig
 inally that would ordinarily suggest
 such fame as has been brought to it
 as the Rubber Center of the World. It was the typical easy-going com munity of the middle west, getting most of it's subsistence from the farming
 community of the neighborhood. Through the town were dug in the early days two important canals-the
 main artery of transportation prior to
 the railroad-and it was a thriving lit tie place of some 10000 people when
 Dr. Benjamin Franklin Goodrich first heard of it through a circular sent out by coterie of it's business men calling themselves the Akron Chamber of Commerce" That was away back in 1869, and the little handbill prospectus
 that accidentally reacehd the attention
 of Dr. Goodrich has resulted in Aaron S
 becoming famous to the far corners of
 the earth as well as having been the
 means of founding scores of fortunes that in those days were not only un-
 heard of but undreamed of.
 Rubber made Akron and today well
 over 60 per cent of the rubber of the
 world comes to it's enormous factories and it's rubber products are, in turn transported to the ends of the earth
 In response to the alluring claims
 made for the little town so well SUD- piled with canal transportation facili- ties, Dr. Goodrich in 1869 paid the com | munity visit and undertook to interest some of the citizens and business men
 in his scheme of building a factory for | the manufacture of rubber goods | Shortly before this, the secret of the 1 vulcanization or "curing" of rubber had been discovered.
 Dr. Goodrich saw the opportunity | and Akron capital enabled him to es- tablish his business at the obscure city | That was the beginning of a wonder ful development. As the demand foI rubber goods increased Akron expand | ed until with the coming of the first l bicycle and then the automobile and | the rubber tires they made necessary 1 Akron jumped not alone in fame but l in material success to the front ranks of American cities.
 | The Akron of today is a hustling 1 bustling center of a great American in l dustry with a population of more thar | l60 900. The original rubber factory 1 which employed about 25 men at the ] beginning is now giant concern em-

ploying over 10000 people and doing business of hundreds of millions an nually. Akron is a real hive of in- dustry. The aggregate sales of it's rub Der products reached about $500, 900. 900 last year.
 Akron is now building more than 50,- 900 automobile tires every day and as many inner tubes. Every time the clock strikes off a minute enough tires to equip seven and a half automobiles are made in Akron. It took less than five months to swing tire production from a stage that was dwindling to a rate even lower than that of 1913 to the gait now in effect. One may, per haps, more easily visualize the magni- tude of Akron's tire production by a comparison with Detroit. Akron makes tires enough in one minutes to equip all the cars turned out in Detroit in seven and one-half minutes. This is based on recent reports from Detroit which say that city is now back at the old automobile-a-m minute stride.
 And now Akron is getting ready for even bigger expansion. She is pre- pairing to meet the full demand of tfa tire buying public with a production schedule that will eclipse all pre-@ar records. The transition from a war basis (when dirigible balloons. gas masks, army rubber boots and rain coats were turned out in tremendous volume) was made in Akron without dent in the remarkable industrial or ganization of the city.
 Unlike many other cities. Akron has a distinct labor shortage and this sign near the entrance of the Goodrich em- ployment department characterizes the situation: We have a job for all re- turned soldiers and sailors" Intense activity in building homes to care for the workmen needed to fulfill the labor needs of the city is substantial evidence of the prosperity ahead for "The Worlds Rubber Center"

In striking contrast, the farmer who finds the pressure in his tires is sev- eral pounds light must either resort to hand pump or drive several miles to free air station. Usually he drives, for there is nothing in a back breaking hand pump to inspire enthusiasm, even if the trip on soft tires is costly.
 Besides the rapid wear, deflated or under inflated tires are more easily punctured than castings carrying the specified pressure. The tread covers a much bigger surface, and the Side walls are subject to grind through ruts or over rough places.
 Rim cuts also may be traced largely to under initiation, say Gates dealers. For with light air pressure, the tire bulges out over the rim and is subject

grades was astonishing, and it's power made mountain climbing a real pleas ure. This gave us an opportunity to thoroughly enjoy the grandeur of the scenery and to be able to observe everything as we bowled along. We were delighted to find after travelling to an elevation of several thousand feet that the engine did not show the slightest sign of overheating.
 "One joy of the trip was that all our tires remained intact during the whole trip in spite of miles of very rough roads and sharp stones over which we had to pass, and on arriving home, they showed very little wear. Our gasoline and oil mileage. too, was very light, as it always is on our trips with the Essex"

DR. HUGHES TELLS HIS EXPERIENCES
 IN FRANKLIN CARS
By. pr, H. A.. Hughes

In 1903 1 purchased a new four cylinder Franklin roadster, which was, I think, about the first our-cylinder car in. the, state. It was a very active and fast machine and it soon earned the name of The Little Red Devil,' In those days, when any one would see it coming, they would soon get out of their wagons and get to their horses heads or tie them to telephone pole.
 1 operated that machine for about six years and finally sold it to a man to make flying machine of. His in tentions were to remove the engine and use it in his prospective flying machine. He claimed to be an expert mechanic and thoroughly examined the motor before purchasing. and pro- nounced it to be as good as it was the day on which it was made
 In 1912, l purchased the car that I am now driving. have given it some very hard drives. One of them was across the desert to Los Angeles six years ago, when the roads were very, very bad. At that time we had to cross the Mammoth Wash, which was supposed to be one of the hardest drives on a, car of, any place in the United States. My car has heavily loaded and I had to drop back into low gear when I came to seven and a half miles of very deep sand which was known to be a sticker for most cars. However I made the trip with out any trouble whatsoever, and in good time.
 Most every place along the road I was told that my car had the least horse e-power of any car that had ever made the trip. A good many said that I never could get through the Wash.
 Every man who has owned or oper- ated. a Franklin car wonders why all cars are not air-cooled, because the cooling system on the Franklin is per feet. The trouble with water and ra- diators is entirely eliminated.
 AS for gasoline mileage and the up- keep expenses generally. I believe the Franklin has them all discounted.

continuously to rim friction that eats the rubber and chews into the fabric, which necessarily is thinner at this point than at any other place on the tire.
 Keep your pressure right, even if it requires an occasional battle with the hand pump, is the concluding advice of the Gates bulletin.

There is some question as to which has excited the most admiration in L. H. Granger, Pacific coast manager of the Hawkins Manufacturing company, the aptitude with which his wife has adopted the role of Diana. as goddess of the hunt, or the performance of his new Essex touring car.
 Since purchasing the car he and his wife have traversed a large part of the state, including the toughest mountain country. Since they ac- quired their Essex they have travelled more than 1000 miles.

WICKERsHAM COUNTING ON PARTISANsHIP TC
 WIN CONTEST

Notwithstanding that, in his speech in the eectioi contest former Delegate James Wickersham pleat with Congress disregard partisan politics in arriving decision, his friends admit that he i depending upon Republican majority in the presen Congress to decide the contest he purposes to mako this time line up along partisan lines It is fessed that he could not win the contest the meri of the case, and that his only chance win is fol the Republicans disregard everything except tha Delegate Charles A. Sulzer ran on the Democrat, ticket and that Wickersham's candidacy this time the first time in six contests-was labelled "Repub lican."
 The strong point of the Wckersham side of the last contest-and it the that constantly paraded before the people-was that plurality the ballots. such they were that found their wa, into the ballot boxes for him. If all the votes had been legally legally counted and legally returned, Wickersham had plurality of 31 out of total of IS. .0O0.
 The situation is now the other foot. All tho votes cast-and there is evidence that the Aus tralian ballet law violated this time-show thai Delegate Sulzer had plurality that exceeds the plurality that the total vote and alleged gave Wickersham two years ago. It is conceded that plurality Of those who went to the poles and offered their ballots Sulzer voted for him. their ballots when showed him with clear plurality.
 Wickershams basis of contest is purely technical and it is clear that only partisanship could give him his seat If Wickersham wins in Congress fl will simply prove that the Republicans are less fa than Democrats-that they consider partsanship only
