Need Boat Rather Than
A Car in. Florida Floods
Touring Is Often Part Marine
Job in the Wet Season
SO,,th

George W. Garland jr..> Of the Gar
land Automobile Company, recently re-
turned to New York after six weeks
vacation, which he spent touring Florida
with Mrs. Garland. II was In Jackson
Vile early in February" he said, about
the time New York was being covered
by very heavy SHOWS. Florida at the
same time had the heaviest rainstorm
on record in that state. Fourteen
inches of rain fell within week. For
four days we were unable to proceed
by automobile in any direction.
"Finally the Jax Auto Club informed
us that it would be possible to get
through to St. Augustine, but we would
have to go though some pretty high
water. About twenty-five miles out
Of Jax, where an arch over the road
welcomes you into ST. Johns County,
there was a river of water more than
quarter Of a mile wide and about
two feet deep flowing across the road,
and it was with some hesitancy we
proceeded through this, barely avoiding
hole which probably would have sub
merged our car. There was no stream
the rainfall had been 50 heavy that it
created this big river, which flowed
over the roadway for several days.
"We cruised on, reaching st. Angus
tine that afternoon, but could go no
further, as bridges were down and
roads washed away in all directions.
In fact, the natives marveled at our
daring in making the run from Jack
sonville. We spent several pleasant
days, renewing our acquaintance with
st. Augustine, and from there went
south by train, waiting for temporary
bridges to be put up before sending
back for our little Briscoe car, which
weeks. We made many miles in South
Florida over fair roads with all tho
speed one could desire, forty-fve miles
an hour over many fine stretches, with
all the delights of summYr-like weather"
Mr. Garland substantiates his story
with photQgraphic eYideuce

Tire Repair Saves

Company's tire repair school answer.
EYES," But If you ask whether the aver.
age tire Is always efficiently and sue.
cessfully repaired. the answer is i'm
mediately reversed.
Careless and unscicnti{ic repairing.
the Goodrich company points out. is
responsible for the loss of hundreds Of
thousands of dollars to American car
owners each year. And to this should
be added the loss incurred by neglected
repairs-tires thrown away whose life
could have been prolonged
What is the most frequent mistake
made by repair men and how avoided
The reply: Failure to remove worn
fabric from injured portions Of the
tire and the practice of adding rather
than replacing layers of fabric. For
tire was repaired by adding eight plies
Of new fabric to the tires five plies of
worn fabric. After running few hun
dred miles the tire blew out. The mo-
torist went to the repair man, Who said:
"The blowout occurred fifteen inches
from the repaired part The tire orig.
inally was Detective"
The car owner then laid the blame on
the manufacturer. The truth is the re-
pair man and not the tire was at fault
This is what actually took place: Tho
eight plies of extra fabric were found
upon examination. to extend to the
point of the blow In running
hinge was formed at the merging point
of the five and thirteen-ply sections.
The hinge constantly worked back and
forth, thereby overworAing and weak.
ening the fabric. A blowout resulted
The eight added plies had formed =
stiff, unresisting section that refused
to work in harmony with the rest Of
the tire.
Motorists will save money and an
noyance by investigating the method
Of repairs made on their tires and in
sisting on improved factory processes.

COTTONS-Conperters
Hesitate to C0uer for Sprins

Converters Of cotton goods who sell
to the jobbing trade are hssitating to
buy gray goods to convert into finished
fabrics to reach the consumer during
the spring Of 1921. These converters
are compelled to work almost . year
business. Their samples must be pre-
pared about July, and the goods are do
nvered to the jobbers by the end Of
December. In view Of the unsettled
condition Of the cotton goods market
and the possibility Of consumption de-
creasing because OF the advancing
prices, most Of the converters feel thai
the future offers tremendous risk. A
converter OF voilss pointed out yester-
