GARY HIGHWAY
ALWAYS TANNED

II would require Sc freight cars three
days to transport the materials and
supplies carried over the Chicago,
Gary highway by motor trucks in one
day. At least 80 additional freight cars
would be needed to transport new pas
senger automobiles being driven over
this highway from the factories
These figures represent an average
day and were compiled by the travel
and transport bureau OF the B. f.
Goodrich Rubber company after its "a
hour traffic census taken at station
on the highway near the Illinois Indiana
state line.
The census shows this road to be one
Of the most intensely Travelled highways
in the country. The observers. who
have just completed similar checks on
exceptional heavy duty" highways
near Pittsburgh, Cleveland and other
centers, say the passenger car traffic
was twice as heavy as over any pre-
Hiously checked intercity highway.
There we're 1,079 trucks Of all classes
recorded by the observers, of which 40
per cent, or 437, were empty This
empty truck percentage is slightly high
er than that shown at other centers
and Is caused by an exceptional number
Of privately owned trucks rather than
public haulage trucks which benefit by
the return loads factor. The empty
trucks represented a carrying capacity
Of 1916 tons, and If loaded would re-
lease railroad freight cars for other
duty at the rate or $4,000 cars per
year.
Even the heaviest and slowest moving
motor truck can make the round trip
between Chicago and Gary in one day,
while at least three days each way are
required by rail between these same
points. In other words, If one days
motor truck tonnage was loaded in
freight cars on Monday, delivery could
not be expected until Thursday morn
ing, by which time motor trucks would
have delivered three times that amount
OF tonnage. This is not taking into ac-
count the motor haulage necessary at
both ends of the rail haul between ship
per and station and between terminal
and consignee, which is included in the
motor truck haul
The Goodrich figures point out an
average of three passenger automobiles
and one motor truck per minute passed

The only conceivable justification for
refusing needful credits to this or to

check the extravaganza which breeds
initiation and dangerous instability.
But assuredly no competent Judge

ROAD RESISTANCE
IMPORTANT TO TIRES

A curious thing about tires is that
they continually roll up hill. This Is
due to what is scientifically termed
traction wave" but what is popularity
called bulge" Both terms mean the
expansion of that portion of the elias
tic carcass Of the tire, which by weight
and forward pull is forged just ahead
OF road contact.
In motion, the tire is continually at
tempting to run over this traction wave
which, Just ahead, always eludes It,.
incidentally, der-inflation increases
the wave.
On a plain tread the wave runs round
and round the tire. But tread design
with a backbone ribbed or cogged, has
been found effective in dividing and
in throwing II off each side. Some
treads are corrugated, some are smooth
some indented, but a purpose of all of
them is to provide maximum traction
to overcome this wave.
The tread must provide also for mini
mum road resistance, for minimum in
Jury to the carcass underneath, and for
maximum road wear Like the soles
of shoes, tread must absorb direct
wear. Different kinds of service have
their individual effects. Scuffins,
skiddlng, spinning, tearing effects of
rough roads-all these have a tendency
to promote rapid wear.
When a tread is torn or badly worm
IL should be taken to competent tire

worth repair.-Miller.

vehicles passed the station during the
24-hour period.
The survey graphically illustrates the
role OF the motor vehicle In relieving
railroad terminal congestion and the
growing use OF the motor truck in
short haul traffic.
Highway transportation engineers say
motor haulage is in its infancy and In
estimating growth declare that the ex-
cellent roadway. between Chisago and
GaW Is strong and wide enough to bear
five times its present traffic before
the congestion point is reached. When
this state is reached this one bit Of

Would Tax
Absent Foreigners

Rome, April LA tax would be i'm
posed on the property in Italy owned
by foreigners not living in this country
under the proposed new taxation and
finance law which the government has
laid before the chamber of deputies.
This tax also would apply to Italy's
stocks which such foreigners may
hold.
Any money owed abroad by Italian
subjects or companies also would be
heavily taxed, Subscribers to the loan
of 1920 and capital brought into Italy
after January l of this year would,
however, be exempt from taxation.
The proposed tax on Italian stocks
and shares held abroad is criticised by
the financial expert of the Tribuna as
unjust on the ground that this property
already pays an income tax in the
country where the owner is living. The
paper points out that such a tax would
be likely to discourage entrance of
foreign capital into this country which
is so necessary for Italy at this NOM
ent.
