Tire Troubles and
Their Prevention
BY WILLIAM RALPH VOSS

Each of these causes has 'he same
effect as holding the tire on revolv-
ing grind-stone, and it will be read
lily apparent to any reader that even
steel could not stand up under such
treatment, much less a rubber COM
pound.
Prematurely destroyed side walls
in no way indicate defective material
or workmanship in the tire, and the
careless driver, who insists on using
the curb for brake, or following
the ruts of frozen roads, must de-
eide to pay the penalty in cold cash.
The results of skidding are easily
seen, for the tread appears worn or
rather scraped from the carcass in
spots, which injury oftentimes ex-
tends even to the innermost ply of
fabric. This condition is seen
most in billy localities, and it
is brought about by too sudden ap-
plication of the brakes. or through
a faulty adjustment of the brake
bands. 1t is patent that sliding the
wheels under the weight of heavy
car is bound to act as an abrasive
agent, literally burning up the
tread. This may occur only on one
of the rear wheels, through an i'm
properly adjusted brake band, which
allows one wheel to revolve while
the other at the slightest pressure
of the brake sticks at a given point
Running in Car Tracks.
Il seems to be one of the greatest
temptations to motorists, especially
in towns where the pavements are in
need of repair, to use the car tracks
as a speedway. If automobile tires
were intended for use on car tracks
they would surely be equipped with
f1anges, and it does not seem neces-
sary for me to point out the evil
effects incident to this form of abuse,
But, if there is any doubt in the
readers mind. | suggest that he
either experiment with set OF tires
or observe those on the car of some
one who follows this practice.
This is one of the worst abuses
to which tire can be put. for while
other injuries can oftentimes be re-
pared, tire that has been con-
stantly run on car tracks is beyond
all remedy ...."
Not only will the side walls be in
time chewed away, but the fabric
will be blistered around the entire
circumference, thus rendering a re-
pair impossible. Continued running
In ruts or scraping against curbs
will work the same injury, as previ-
ously mentioned.

AUTOS INV AIDE
PROVINCES OF
STREET CARS
Many Laboring Men in Big
Factories Drive to
Work in Their
Own Autos.

The noticeable change of attitude
toward municipal ownership, on the
part of the streetcar companies, re-
lates very closely to the tremendous
progress being made by automobiles,
in the opinion of H. H. Franklin,
president of the Franklin Automo-
bile company.
considering this evidence of re-
duced patronage" Mr.. Franklin
says, "the whole circumstance re-
fleets a radical change in the mode
of travel.
Drive Own Cars.
"a half hour spent at any large
industrial plant at quitting time
shows plainly the great strides which
the automobile has made among fac
tory workers, who more and more
are depending on their own cars to
take them to and from work. The
ownership of motor car opens up
to these men for the first time a
possibility of ut-of-the-city living,
instead of their being compelled to
reside within the radius of a reason
able street-car ride. In many cities,
the outskirts are now given over
largely to working mems homes,
where conditions are far improved
over the congested districts"
For Shoppers.
Mr.. Franklin points also to the ex-
tensive dependence of street-car
lines upon patronage of women who
have formerly used this type of
transportation almost entirely for
shopping and social duties. Now,
however, the automobile has become
as much of convenience with
women as it is with men, and it is
a general practice for ladies to have
free access to the family car at all
times.
The advent of enclosed cars has
carried the everyday use of the
automobile into the winter season.
Cars are now very seldom put away
for the cold weather, with the re-
suit that the reliance of many motor
lists upon street cars for winter
travel is to a great extent nullified.
Probably the most lucrative traf-

In last Sundays issue of The Bee
| told the automobile fans some
thing about the guarantees of tires
and of some of the tire troubles and
their prevention. .-..
| described the tire adjusting, the
harmful use of chains and how to
treat tread cuts; today l will en-
deavor to tell something about
stone bruises, rut-worn, skidding
and running in Car tracks. All are
dangerous to both the life of the
automobile and the tire.
A careless driver is prone to dis
regard the injuries which may be
done to his casing by speeding over
railroad crossings, by racing
through chuck-ho.es and by Slam
ming the car against the curbstone,
because such things result in what
might be termed as internal in
juries" and do not frequently show
on the outside. Anyone, however,
who stops to consider the construc-
ton of a tire will know at once
that the innerply of fabric is less
i'll circumference than the outer, and
that, therefore, what really occurs
when the tire is subjected to these
piledriver-like blows, is that the in
ner ply is stretched to a greater cir
Cumterence than the outer, which
causes its rupture.
Cause of Stone Bruises.
Manv motorists refuse TO see this
and no amount of argument can
convince them that tire which
blows out in garage or standing
quietly on the street has at some
previous time been injured in the
above manner, and is not a defec-
tive product. What really happen
ed is that through constant action
of the fabric plies an injury, al
though perhaps slight at the start,
has gradually opened UP, resulting
in such weakening of the carcass
that it would no longer sustain
the pressure. In many instances
the blowout will follow through
the fabric plies and occur several
inches from the original bruise.
You have all seen tires from
which the side walls were entirely
worn, leaving the edges of the seem
ingly intact tread to flop loosely
back and forth. This condition is
generally known as "rut-worn,' al
though it may be occasioned by rub
bling against the curb or in running
through frozen mud, the crust of
which is not of sufficient strength
to sustain the weight of the machine.

WORLD CANNOT
MAKE AUTOS TO
SUPPLY DEMAND
Present Shortage of 100000
Cars in the United States
Shown by Government
Figures.

THE entire world will not be able
to produce enough automobiles to
supply the demand this year." said
Guy L. Smith, Hudson dealer.
"On December 81, 1918, it was es-
timated that there were only 15,545
finished cars in the hands of auto
mobile manufacturers. This repre-
sents only three days normal pro-
duction-three days normal sales.
THE market literally has been
drained by the first wave of the con-
stantly increasing tide of prosperity
which is now sweeping over the
country. The situation, already
acute in many cities, is bound to
grow worse this spring. @
Owing to the relatively small
production the last two years there
is shortage of 100000 automobiles
in the United States at the present
time, according to government fig
ures.
Shortage of 100000.
"In 1918, the total production of
Idi , was l,Off,IJ ~ dS against l,/O/,-
Isl the previous year. In 1916 the
production was 1,493,6l7. So last
years production was the smallest
since 1915.
Normally. the output increases at
the rate of 40 per cent year. Had
this rate prevailed last year the out
put would have been two and three
quarters of millions cars, or more
than double what it actually was.
Because of the slowness of the
return to normal production it is es-
timated that the output of cars in
1919 will be about half of the three
million which would be needed to
make up this shortage.
Growth Marvellous.
"The growth of the automobile
business has been one of the mar
wells of modern times. In 1909 only
III 1861 cars were produced. In 1917
the production had increased to L.
$4,000. The total capital invested
is 81 Poi. 100000, which is three times
as large as the outstanding stock of
the entire Standard Oil group of
thirty-five companies and exceeded

IF storage battery would make
noise, groan, or squeak, or a
rattle like other parts of the ma
chine do, when they are out of or
der. it would be far better treated"
says Elmer Rosengren, the local
Willard service man. when the
car owner hears squeak under the
hood of his machine or a rattle in
the body he knows that there is
something wrong and is not content
until it has been corrected.
1T is entirely different with bat
terry. 1t is to the average motorist
nothing more or less than a black
box. AS he cannot get into it, he is
not very much interested in its in
ternal working, and when anything
goes wrong with it there is no noise
to warn him that all is not right"

the capital of all the national banks
at the end of 1916.
The wages paid in this industry,
which is now the third largest in
the United States, exceeded by
$l00,000,000 all the gold in circula-
ton in the United States in 1916
and was equal to three-quarters of
t. governments ordinary receipts.
The Hudson factory, the largest
builders of fine cars in the world,
has never been able to keep up with
the demand for Super-Sixes. Hud-
son production was to have stopped
entirely on January l. Then, sud-
denly, the ban was lifted. As re-
suit normal production cannot be re-
sumed before June.
THE moral for all intending pur-
chasers of motor cars is clear. 1t is

South of the Mason-Dixon line
the Dixie Flyer has been a great
favorite among farmers as we'll as
