GOODYEAR CUSHION
TYPE OF TIRE NOW
Big Akron Concern Puts Out
Something New for Mo-
tor Trucks.

II is coming to be generally known that
require different types of tire equipment.
For instance, 1t Is fairly well known that
solid rubber tires are economical equip
ment on trucks. engaged In slow speed,
heavy duty service, and that pneumatics
give good returns in long distance trans
port, interurban freighting and general
trucking where cushloning and traction
are essential. These two major types
Of tires find their greatest usefulness
in separte classes of service.
There is however, another type of
tire, designed after years of research
by tire engineers. meeting the needs Of
night trucks obliged to run frequently
over bad pavements and roads. This is
tile Goodyear cushion type of truck tire,
so called because of the ample cushion
ing effect II provides for both load and
truck mechanism.
1t is neither a pneumatic nor a solid,
but a modification of both, In appearance
resembling a solid. 1t is constructed Of
exceedingly tough rubber, Is much softer
and more resilient than a solid. with an
egg shaped hollow running around the
tire Just inside the base. This hollow
takes care of the distorted rubber as 1t
rolls along the street.
These tires are best adapted for use
on all the wheels on y ton and ton
trucks and on the front wheels of Ia
ton and ton trucks operating at speeds
up to % miles an hour. A long period
was devoted to road tests before they
were offered to the public and now sew

PAYS TRIBUTE TO
NEW YORK MARKET
President bort Explains Why
He Opened a Branch
Here.

J. d. bort, president Of the bort
Motor Car Company. Flint, Mich, Is In
New York for few days, primarily to
witness the opening Of the new bort
branch at Broadway and Fifty-eighth
street, the establishment Of which marks
one of the most important events in
motor circles during the last month.
Mr.. bort, who is very enthusiastic
over business conditions. gave his views
on the New York situation and the OPEN
ing of the new bort branch as follows !:
sin establishing n branch for bort
business In New York city 1t does not
necessarily follow that this company con-
templates a like move at other bort
distributing points. 1t has never been
the bort policy to found branch offices
and can plainly say that our policy
Of past years has not been changed in
the slightest.
"Our New York branch is the out
growth of a peculiar situation, which
calls for factory representation on the
Eastern seaboard. We decided upon
New York city for the reason that de-
velopments during the last few months

necessity.

and Eleventh avenue. This is a large

square feet of floor space and a storage
capacity of approximately 200 cars. With

our repair bills are very much less than

Another instance of the satisfactory
service rendered by these cushion tires
is the experience of the Boston Store, at
Chicago. Two years ago three trucks
were equipped with Goodyear cushions.
with results that led to the fitting OF
the stores entire fleet of twenty-five
trucks with these tires.
One result that soon followed was an
approximate saving of 25 per cent In
truck maintenance costs. To date the
average mileage has amounted to 30,114,
with satisfaction in every respect.

Tool Arrangement.

An admirable idea in the arrangement
OF tools in the home garage is to give
each tool number, which Is painted on
1t. The same number is painted on the
walls or racks in the place where the
tool belongs. In this way It is a simple
matter to return each tool to It's proper
place so that 1t is ready when it Is next
needed.

Spark Advance.

The car owner should keep In mind
that one of the most prolific causes Of
engine overheating is driving on a re-
tarded spark. The cause is obvious, the
explosion taking place when a maximum
of the cylinder wall Is uncovered In
stead OF the minimum, as is the case
when the ignition takes place at upper
dead centre, the piston being at the top
of it's stroke.

Youth Found Murdered On Turnpike Probably
 Killed In This State
Police Think He Was Brought Here on Promise That Bonds Which He Stole Would Be Cashed and Was Then Done to Death.

Circumstantial facts which have been brought to light witIyn the past two days in connection with the murder of Benjamin Binkowitz, of New York city, the missing bank messenger whose mutilated body was found in the bushes near the Post I~ad in Milford, are leading the New York and Connecticut police to believe that th-~murder was commit ted in this vicinity, and possi- by by persons who reside in the neighborhood of Bridge port.
 It was brought out yesterday that the murdered man worked in the Remington Arms Co.'S plan- in this city. during the war. He made a number of friends while in Bridge port, and it is believed possible that some of these may have been in close touch with the man after he returned to New York.
 One of the most feasible theories that has yet been set forth is that Binkowitz, after stealing the bonds was lured to this vicinity on the

 The importance of such action was brought forcibly home to the mem bers of the Chamber of Commerce who attended the first of season S midday luncheOns in the Stratfield by Murray, who warns the manufactur- ers that there remains but 75 years of life for the anthracite mines of the eastern coal fields and further eau toned that there is daily being wasted S1,OOO,OOO through improper means of providing power.
