U. S. Tire Company Has Solid
Truck Tire on New Ideas

After long period of experiment
tation new solid truck tire en-
bodying two entirely new principles
of construction is now being placed
on the market by the United States
Tire company.
The two new principles involved
in the manufacture of this tire are
so radically different from all other
existing methods of manufacture
that they are attracting close atten-
ton from tire engineers. Many i'm
provements in solid tire manufacture
have been made since the advent of
the motor truck, but for none of
them have the broad claims been
made which are made for this new
tire.
One of the claims made is that
a method has been discovered of
eliminating the grain" in the rub
Der and thus greatly reducing split
ting and cracking, one of the chief
causes of trouble in solid tires. The
other is that long step forward
has been made in solving the prob
'em Of preventing tires from sepa-
rating from the tire bands.

Nash Cars Win Three Prizes
Out of Six Possible Places

Further honors came to Nash
passenger cars when they were
awarded three prizes at the auto
mobile fashion show held in connec-
ton with the Sedalia, Mo-, state
fair. The awards were based upon
appearance.
After a review before 10000 spec
tators, who crowded the grand
stand at the state fair grounds, and
in competition with numerous cars
of other makes, the Nash entries,
all driven by owners, got first and
third places in the sport and road
ster class, respectively, and third
place in the touring car class.
No Nash closed cars were entered
in the fashion review, thus with this
elimination three prizes out of a
possible sly IS regarded as an excel
lsut showing.

mhalty nor lloyds has received any
information relative to the wreck Of
British ship ON the Norwegian coast.

If the loss of life in the wreck re-
ported I'm the foregoing dispatch is

ship which was wrecked was a mill
tary transport bringing British soldiers
from Archangel, from which port
Great Britain has been embarkng large
numbers of men during the last month.
It Is known that troop ships have
sailed quite recently from Archangel.
The largest recorded loss Of life in
marine disaster occurred when the
