Sales Manager Calls Attention

What the heart Is 20 the body.
the tube is 10 the tire"-is one way
OF expressing the Importance Of in
ner tubes from the standpoint OF

placed upon tube quality by one of
Akron's leading tire men. Just as
the usefulness Of the body ends with
the stopping OF the heart, so the
tire becomes useless when the tube
ceases 10 function properly.
Furthermore. il is pointed out
that the motorist should be much
more concerned with the tubes

Should Select With Care
The car owner can't be too care
ful in his selection OF inner tubes, -
declares r. c. Millhof. general sales
manager OF the Miller Rubber Co.
Its the heart that keeps the body
going and it's the tube that keeps
the casing up. A man certainly
wouldn't select a weak heart just
because IL was cheap - ne would
want the best because so much de-
pended on II. When il comes to tires
and tubes. he should purchase the
tube that lasts the longest because
such tubes serve to prolong the life

A tube may be OF splendid ap-

FuE Of Tiny Holes.
Rubber is full Of tiny pin-holes
which the finest Calendaring in the

Those little holes are what cause air

FORTY TON LOAD
DON 7 HURT TIRES
Goodrich Construction Proof
Against Weight and Bad
Roads.

Forty tons the heaviest load ever
placed on rubber tires. recently car
ried by a trailer-truck owned by
Allen Brothers, Los Angeles, Cal.
This tremendous load. a giant mar
inc engine cylinder. was borne %
miles over city streets and country
highways without any noticeable eff
feet on the tires.
The coast" trucking contractors
designed and had built this traitor
truck with a carrying capacity of
100. 600 pounds. The truck itself
weighs 200 pounds, and the spe-
cially designed real wheels weigh p
c5O. pounds each. The wheels of the
truck are equipped with Goodrich
solid truck tires and the tremend-
Gus overload placed on these tires
adequately proves their strength.
The truck is shod with four 40 10.
and the trailer with two 40 u
tires
The first load carried by this
giant truck was transferred from
the iron works in Los Angeles where
the engine cylinder was cast, to a
shipbuilding drydOck in San Pedro
"a distance of % miles-in two
hours and fOrty-five minutes time.
The cylinder weighed approximately
30 tons
In order to secure the proper trac-
ton, the truck was balasted with an
engine stand weighing nearly seven

tremendous for a motor truck.

'SCALPERS MAY

A TICKET TAX
Government Sleuths Are On the

Profit Out of Big Series.

Chicago, Oct. THAT holders of
worlds series baseball tickets who
have secured the ducats for scalp
ing purposes should be made TO
pay a government tax, the same as
the ticket brokers, was the asser-
ton yesterday by Ernie Young, the
ticket Spectator. Young asserted
he has no trouble purchasing tick
cts but he must pay the entire ex-
cess government price.
Why isn't some regulation in
augurated whereby the supposed
friends Of Charles A. Comiskey and
other attaches of the Sox park,
who secure blocks of seats and go
from one ticket broker to another
asking fabulous prices for their
seats, are made to pay a govern

Sellers Should Pay.
eff the broker buys these tickets
he pays a price approximately
triple the face value and then in
turn resells them at a higher
price. The broker is the only one
who must pay the government war
tax. 1t seems to me the United
States revenue offices should make
these men pay the same as the
brokers'"
Young had box and grand stand
seats for sale yesterday and found
ready customers for the box seats
for three games. He got as high as

Demand Exceeds Supply.
At the Palmer house ali tickets
were disposed of at approximately
the same prices charged by Young.
The pasteboards were not avail
able at other places, but names
were taken in the event any are
obtained. The demand greatly ex-
ceeds the supply and unless hold
ers of tickets attend only one or
two games and then want to dis
pose of the remaining ticket
there is little likelihood of many
more tickets falling into the brok-
ers' hands.
Federal officers are on the alert
and according to Chief Deputy
George Dunlap of the internal rev.

be doubled on the days of the

O'DOWD BEATS
AUGIE RATHER

New York, Oct. In a bout re-
plete with action, Mike ODowd,
middIeweight champion, outpoint-
ed Augie Rather of the Bronx in
eight rounds at Jersey City Mon
day night.
Throughout the early rounds it
looked as if Rather might succeed
in outpointing the champion, but
as the bout progressed O'Dowd got
better and in the last two rounds,
the seventh and eighth, he man
aged to pile up enough points to
win easily.
No doubt the fact that Rather
gave away 10 pounds in weight
had something TO do with his de-
feat. O'DOwd had agreed to make
1853 pounds for the bout. but en-
tered the ring weighing 1874. Rat
ner tipped 154. This extra pound
age stood the champion In good
stead. He had not weakened him
self ty trying to make too low a
weight and his strength told dur
ing the closing rounds of the bout.
In the seventh and eighth rounds
Mike tried hard to score a knock
out, but Rather managed to evade
his heavy PUSHES and sidestep

swings O'Dowd aimed at the point

MILLIONS OF
AMERICANS co
ON The HUNT
Interesting Facts on Game They
Hunt Provided for Those Who
Shoulder ShOgtuns.

About six million Americans are
going hunting this fall, according to
an estimate made by the American
Game Protective and Propagation
association.
Whether the army of American
hunters is really this large is
doubted by some officials of the
biological survey, but they admit
that the mum Der is several millions.
This article is designed to give the
hunters some late facts about the
game which they hunt. and to pro-
vide interesting information for all
readers.
: For wild fowl, according to the
government natuTalists, this should
be an excellent year everywhere
except in the Rocky Mountain
states where the weather has been
so dry that there are poor accom-
modations for the wild ducks and
geese. Out west the wild fowl are
dependent upon shallow ponds and
sIoughs formed by rain water, and
in dry years they simply go else
where.
In the east, on the other hand,
where the wild fowl inhabit great
rivers and bays that are not affect
ed by seasonal conditions, the hunt
ing should be unusually good. Ever
since the federal migratory bird law
was passed, protecting the wild
fowl in their spring migrations,
they have been increasing steadily.
In addition to this, last winter was
such a mild one that few birds were
killed. There were several reasons
for this In the first place, they did
not gather in the central Atlantic
states where much of the hunting
is done, in anything like their usual
numbers, presumably because the
mild winter enabled them to remain
farther north There was excellent
shooting in some of the northern
states, but the greater part Oh the
country experienced poor year for
ducks despite a fine duck crop. The
mild weather also protected the
birds by enabling them to remain
out in the open water where the
hunters could not reach them,
whereas cold weather forces them
to go into little sheltered creeks
and ponds, and to stay about open
ings in the ice, where they are cas-
lily killed.
Upland Birds.
With regard to the upland birds
the grouse and quail-reports are
not nearly so encouraging. No fed
oral law protects these birds. Their
