MAKING THEMSELVES RIDI-
CULOUS.

One of the republican newspa-
pers gloats over the fact that GER
tain republican senators do not
indicate a willingness to accept
the presidents invitation to visit
the White House and discuss with
him the terms Of the peace treaty.
Among the absentees are GER
tam senators who have been loud
est in damnation of the treaty
and condemnation of the presi-
dent, no matter what he may or
may not do. And one of the
things they have damned him
loudest for was his alleged ten
dency to go it alone, to refuse
to take senators into his conf
denee.
But now that the treaty is
ready and the senate's innings are
at hand, these senator's who have
been most yociferous in their de-
nunclatlon are not disposed to
take advantage Of the opportun-
ity they have been so loudly de-
manding, to 90 over the treaty S
provisions with the president.
1t is strange that critics of this
type are SO blind that they can
not see that they are making
themselves ridiculous; that they
cannot understand that his posi-
tion viii become impregnable be-
cause of their refusal of the op-
portunity to go over the terms of
the treaty and the articles of the
league covenant freely and frank
ly with him. He was instrument
tai in the drafting; he is more ia
miliar with the terms than they.
Is it not their duty under their
oath of office to gain all the in
formation they may from him or
any other source, SO they can
more intelligently discharge their
duty when the time comes to vote
on ratification? We believe the
American people feel that it is.

HEAT PROBLEM
AND THE TIRE
Common Misconception Of
Summer Heat Causing
Tires to Blow Out.

These hot summer days are the
ones that cost motorists a lot Of
money" is the declaration Of c. E
Drummer. manager. service depart
ment. the Goodyear Tire & Rubber
company OF Akron. o.
Most motorists have a wrong i'm
preston about the increase Of air
pressure in tires in warm weather"
says Mr.. Drummer. IN fact. the be-
lief is quite common that on hot days
the air pressure may increase TO the
point of causing a blowout There
really is nothing to this belief, for
the heat does not come from the tenn
perature Of the air outside, as IS COM
monty supposed, but from the natural
flexing of the tire as il rolls over
the road or street
''As this heat is due to the bending
of the tire, the same amount OF heat
is created regardless of the outside
temperature Most tire users belieVe
that TO overcome this effect the pres
sure must be decreased. and the COM
mon practice is to run tires at lower
pressure on hot days. But this in
creases the bending Of the tire car
cass and the motorist actually ag-
gravates the tire condition that he
seeks TO relieve when he decreases
the pressure in his tires.
1T is true that on very hot day
the air pressure in tires that are used
continuously increases slightly, but
never sufficiently TO cause any in
jury to the tire. Tires are not as
fragile as some persons imagine, and
are able to stand three and four times
the ordinary pressures used
There is more danger in decreas-
ing the pressure than in permitting II
to increase There is no condition IN
which tires are subjected to greater
variations of air pressure than in au-
tomobile racing on our speedWays-
Yet even on the hottest days the Ser-
rifle grinds Of the race tracks, with
tires revolving 20 times a second. do
not cause them to blow out And
there is certainly no condition IN
ordinary driving that even approaches
those Of the speedway
The recent races at Indianapolis
were held on one Of the hottest days
that racers have ever experienced, yet
80 per cent less tires were changed
than at any previous race equipped
with Goodyear cord tires Racing
drivers have learned that after a tire
becomes heated 10 a certain point the
radiation OF heat from the tire is as
great as the generation OF heat-ali
Of which means that any increased air
pressure due to heat is negligible IN
its effect on the tire"

attested in many ways. Last but not
least OF these are the 100000 odd
passenger cars in use today. These
figures are significant
The person with a mathematical
turn of mind could compile some very
interesting tables and comparisons
with regard to the automobile If he
so desired For instance, il he fig
ured up the seating capacity of all
the automobiles in the country and
compared the total with that of rail-
road coaches, he would find that
there are enough passenger cars IN
this country to carry 100000 people
and enough railroad coaches to carry,
100000. He would also discover that
the combined yearly passenger mile
age of automobiles exceeds that OF
railroads by over 1o.000.000 miles
-Or, IL he should turn 10 the farm
for his comparisons. he would find
that the farmers o fthis country are
using over 100000 automobiles
every day II horses were substitute
ed for these motor cars it would take
$4,000, 900 of them This in turn would
tie up 125.0O0,000 acres Of rich farm
land on which to raise their feed
And there are many other equally
interesting facts and figures all OF

Importance and economic value Of
