teudent OF highways at Harrisburg
for the beneft of traffic over the
road.
This service proved OF great value
to the interests concerned during the
winter Of 1017-1S and also during
the winter of I91S-19.
AS originally planned, the service
was altogether a war effort, and it
was supposed that IT would be opera
tive only in the northern sections OF
the country and during the snow sea-
son. However. the Weather Bureau
has been urged to extend the work
throughout practically all sections OF
the country, especially where i'm
proved highway construction is going
on, and requests are received for in.

roads as affected by heavy rainfall as
well as by snow, and particularly in
cases Of long routes informtion as to
points on the route which had become
impossible on account Of bad weather
conditions.
4 tentative service OF this character
is now in operation in about eleven
States, which is as far as ii can be
extended with available funds. From
the number of requests received 1t is
probable the demand for the service
will be nationwide and insistent, since
its great practical value to Vehicular
traffic everywhere is most obvious.
The scope of the project as whole
and the details of its operation are
now under consideration by the De-
psrtment OF Agriculture.

HOW YOUR AUTO
TIRES ARE MADE

The first rubber tires used were
solid tires OF the type now known as
carriage tires, the development of
which started with the two-wheeled
bicycle. From it's early days the
bicycle was equipped with solid tires,
with various devices for holding them
to the rim. But these tires were not
as resilient as were required, and
gave way to the cushion tire-a solid
tire with a hollow center. This in
turn was succeeded by the first pneu-
matte, which was nothing more than
an ordinary tube covered by an outer
casing, constructed of rubberized
fabric, laced together around the in
ner tube. 1t was round in section
and applied to the wheel by cement
ing to a crescent-shaped rim.
From this point pneumatic tire de-
velopment was rapid, for its advan-
tages over the various solid types
were readily apparent. When the
first passenger automobiles appeared
in quantities, the tire used was OF
the single tube type, fastened to the
rim by means of Tugs and bolts. This
type proved very unsatisfactory and
was promptly followed by the clinch-
er tire which has proven a popular
one on cars having a thirty-inch
wheel diameter.
A still later type is the straight
side" with stiff wires in the beads
of the tire to prevent flying off the
rim, used on cars having wheels of
a larger diameter than thirty inches.
When crude rubber arrives at the
factory of the tire manufacturer, 1t
is generally stored in bins, in dark
and fairly cool storerooms, where it
is kept until ready to be used. AS
needed it is fed into a "cracker''-
a machine consisting OF two rolls
with projections on their surfaces,
shaped like little pyramids, the two
rolls revolving, one much easier than
the other.
The rubber is fed between these
spongy mass 1t is put through this
machine a number of times until 1t
IA worked into uniform condition.
After it is sufficiently broken down
in the cracker, II is put through a
machine which is built some
thing like the cracker, except that the
rolls are grooved or rified, so that
their action is not so sereve on the
rubber. The rubber is run through
this machine a number of times until
1t is thoroughly washed.
Drying the Rubber.
From the washroom the rubber goes
TO the dry room. Before il can be
used in any articles Of commercial
value, it must be thoroughly dried, as
moisture in the stock would turn to
steam during the vulcanization proc
ess and form blisters or blowholes in
the tires.
There are two ways in which rub

orally practiced with all the better
grades of gums is to hang the washed

GENERAL TIRES TO INCREASE
GUARANTEES OF MILEAGE

The General Tire and Rubber Com
pany has thrown a veritable bomb
into the tire makers camps by a
startling announcement OF an increase
in mileage guarantees to be added to
an already very large one.
The company states that the results
shown by the General during the past
few years under all kinds of tests has
convinced them that they can safely
afford to make the increase.

the mold, mounted on a buffinE ma
chine and buffed to a rough surface,
which is given several coats OF ce-
ment, allowed to dry, and the breaker
strip and tread added.
The tire is then cross-wrapped,
placed in a regular heater and given
a second cure. This is timed to COM
plete the cure of the carcass and the
tread.
After removal from the heater, the
wrappings are stripped from the tire,
a rigid inspection made, the inside
painted, and the tire passed for ship
ment.
Two methods OF handling tires dur
ing the second cure are popular. In
one case, the tire is allowed to remain
on the core during it's entire construc-
ton and both vulcanizations. In the
other, the tire Is removed from the
core after the first vulcanization, and
for the second one is mounted on a
rim and has an air-bag inflated inside
of 1t. -
Owing to the expansion OF the air
in the airbag more pressure can 10
secured in forcing the tread against
the carcass of the tire. The length
of time required for completely cur
ing tires ranges from one and one
half hours to three and one-half hours.
and in the case OF the two-cure tires
two-thirds OF this period is generally
given to the first cure and one-third
to the second.
The Importance Of this curing or
vulcanizing process can hardly be
overestimated. The discovery of the
secret OF rubber vulcanization by
Charles Goodyear, an American, de-
serves to rank with the discovery OF
electricity. the invention OF printing,
and other great benefits which have
advanced civilization.
Rubber, to he sure, had its uses
before this discovery was made, but
its sphere was small and limited to
uses in which contraction and ex-
pansion were unimportanat. People
became Disguised with rubber goods
that melted in summer and stiffened
like stone in winter.
This was the great discovery that
inaugurated the real usefulness Of
rubber in the world and paved the
way for the modern automobile tire,
without which the automobile would
find 1t hard to hold it's present com
handing position in the world Of bus
mess OF today.-Chevrolet Review.

sheets on horizontal poles and space
them in aisles so that air can freely
circulate all around the surface of the
rubber. To properly dry the rubber
by this method requires from two to
three days.
Compromising and Mixing.
To withstand variations in the de-
grees of heat, rubber must be cured
or vulcan!zed, and to vulcanize rub
Der il is necessary to incorporate sui
phur and other chemical ingredients
In the general process of mixing
the rubber portion of the batch Is
thrown into the mill and is worked
up until ii takes on a very sticky and
plastic consistency. When 1t has ar
rived at the desired degree of plas-
| ITCHY, the various compounds in the
batch, usually in the form OF very
fine powders, are-thrown into the
mill, being worked into the rubber by
the rolls.
The compounds are generally
thrown on. a little at a time, until
they are all absorbed by the rubber.
The mixture then goes through the
mill over and over again until abso-
lutely uniform throughout
After the batch is properly mixed
it is allowed to season a certain time,
after which it is delivered to the
factory department to which 1t
properly belongs.
Building the Tire.
Tires and cotton-the two would
hardly be suspected of association
yet q pneumatic tire could as logical
ly be called a cotton tire as a rubber
tire, for cotton fabric forms a large
part of it's body. while the rubber
merely binds it together and uphol-
sters it. Tires demand the very best
Of cotton, so Goodyear tires, with
which Chevrolet cars are equipped
are made from the finest obtainable-
the newly developed "Arizona-Egyp-
tian" grown on it's own plantations
in the Salt River Valley of Arizona.
This cotton is made up into fabric
in the Goodyear Cotton Mills, and for
warded to the main factory at Akron,
Ohio, to be used in the manufacture OF
tires.
Before this fabric can be made up
into the carcass of the tire it is put
through a spreading and calendering
process. The fabric is in this process
impregnated with rubber, and after
being treated in this manner Is known
as friction" 1t is rolled up with
cloth between it's surfaces to prevent
sticking.
AS it is unwound it is cut into strips
Of proper widths so that the edges
extend from bead TO bead over the
crown of the tire. These strips are
always cut on the bias, generally at
a 45-degree angle.
The tire maker builds up the tire
on a "core"-a mold shaped like a
tire. He stretches a ply Of fabric on
the core and rolls it down onto the
sides of the core. This latter process
is called Stitching" He then adds
the proper number of plies of fabric
for the particular size of tire he is
building.
Then the breaker strip is added.
This is an open weave fabric impreg-
mated with gum. which serves as
sort Of armor belt to help absorb the
road shocks to which the tire is sub
ject. The next operation is the ap-
plication of the tread OF the tire.
The tire carcass is then taken from

GLEN MILLINGER BUYS
1000 DAY.oLD CHICKS
Will Raise Poultry and Eggs on
Commercial Scale on Farm
Northwest of Holy.

Mr. and Hrs. Glen Millinger resid-
ing four and a half miles northwest
of Holy are going to raise poultry
and eggs this year in earnest.
AS evidence of this fact they re
ceived 1000 day-old White Leghorn
purebred chicks from a poulterer
at Rocky Ford last Friday which
they already have comfortably
housed on their farm.
Mrs Millinger when seen this
morning by Chieftain representa-
tive stated that the chicks were get
ting along in the best kind of shape
and that she expected to have a
real chicken farm this fall and lots
of eggs this winter.
The farmer can undopbtedly
raise poultry and eggs at less cost
and easier than anyone else and it
is really a puzzle why more farmers
do not raise larger flocks when the
prices for both eggs and poultry are
continually advancing.
Mr. and Mrs. Millinger's opera
tions will be watched by their
friends with interest, as well as the
wish for abundant success.

VALLAY NOW
LOOKS IT'S PREffIEST
Chieftain Folks Given Delight ttul
Trip to Willy Last Sunday
Crops Look Immense.

Through the kindness and hOspi-
tality of Mr.. and Mrs. c. A. Pink
ham the editor of The Chieftain
and wife enjoyed an auto trip to
Wiley, the Gem Town of the up
per valley, last Sunday. The wealth
er was COlOrado's most ideal and
the trip was greatly enjoyed.
The first hesitation was made at
H. W. Whittlesey's White LeghOrn
poultry farm. II. w. was out some
where irrigating, but the party sur
veyed the poultry yards and admir-
ed the 1000 or more of middle aged
cOckerels and pullets-they were pic
lures all of them.
Mr.. Whittleseys whole place at
tracts attention by it's wonderful
neatness and cleanliness. These
characteristics everywhere mark
his poultry yards as well as his
house and grounds, and believe us,
he has some fine chickens.
No further stop was made till we
reached the county seat after an
hour and a half ride At the county

thing looked it's prettiest-in this
one garden spot of Prowers county.
At Wiley we found building
boom on. More than half a dozen
cOmmodious little residences are in
process of erection there. They are
going ahead in spite of high build
ing costs-they are going to make a
town. Holly ought to get some OF
this pep and build few residences.
In the afternoon we enjoyed the
opening band concert of the season,
in which band composed of Wiley
and Lamar hOrnists are to play al
terpately at: Wiley and Lamar
every two weeks.
The only stop on the way home
was for blowout which occurred
directly in front of gas and auto
repair station at the county seat.
Repairs were soon made and the
journey on home was made in the
delightful cool of the evening just
ahead OF a light rain storm which
followed the rivers course down the
famous "Arkansaw."
1t was delightful trip and The
Chieftain folks are mighty grateful
for Mr.. and Mrs. Pinkham's hospi-
tality.

Only few short months ago the
metropolitan press and public
speakers of the country were max
ing themselves hOarse in their clam

ed and printed about the unem-
ployed.
In spite of all this hue and cry
there is demand for skilled help
in every line far in excess of the sup
ply. There are plenty of $l00 and
$3.50 per month jobs waiting but
few takers. There are a lot of
w0uld-bes who can't even get start

be able to fill but few really eff
Client men for the places.
This condition applies in nearly
all industrial lines. In the printing
business there has never been a

HolIy's Fourth Celebration
Will Be Hummer.
HOLLY COW CLUB WILL
JOIN IN CELEBRATION
Dairy Folks To Hold Their Big An
nual Picnic on the Fourth-Aero-
plane Flight Doubtful Owing to
Difficulty in Securing Filler.

All the various Fourth of July
celebration committees are busy
preparing for the big Holly cele-
bration. Another feature that will
add to the strength and Importance
of the enterprise is the fact that dur
ing the past week the Holly Cow
Club has decided to join with the
town in the celebration organiza-
ton and hold their annual summer
picnic on that day. The Cow Club
is one of the cOmmunity's most
valued social institutions, and will
greatly add to the success of the eel
ebratiOn.
In spite of the greatest effort pos
sible it is somewhat doubtful at
this time whether Holly vii be able
to secure a bird man for the Fourth.
Albert MOrich, chairman of the com
mittee has ransacked Kansas City,
st. Louis, Wichita, Denver and
Pueblo to get an aviator and plane
without assurance up to this time,
though there is still hope that a
flier may be secured between now
and the 4th. Pueblo is in the same
fix. That city has been trying to
secure a birdman without success.
However, the race program is now
outlined and assured for both the
track and minor sports. All other
features are being pushed with a
view to furnishing the best time
possible on the lOurth.
There seems to be an inclination
on the part OF many communities
throughout the county this year to
celebrate on q larger scale than ev.
er. Hence they all want aerOplane
flights and there are not enough
fliers to supply the demand. The
same condition applies to balloon
lists and carnival companies.
A. G. RunyOn, proprietor of the
Star Theatre, has offered to make a
balloon ascension if balloon can be
secured. Mr.. Runyon is also ar
ranging for a number of other out
door free attractions for the day.
He is genious in this line and a
splendid performer and is bound to
furnish something good.
The days program will also in
clude a couple of good ball games
between local country cubs; an all
day dance; Cow Cub picnic in the
grove; a grand parade; plenty of
band music; etc, besides the big
races and other features, including
an address on general farming and
dairying by Prof. Geo. f. Morton, of
the State Agricultural college, un-
der the auspices of the Cow Club.
Anyhow, Holy is preparing for
big day. Watch for more detailed
announcement in next weeks pap
er and for large posters.
