Those persons who are stnl in .

BUILDERS PLAN
STANDARD TIRE
Rubber Association Of
America Opposes Max
ing Of Odd Sizes.
SUPPLY OLD CARS
Aside from Renewals, No
'Unusuals" Will Prob
ably Be Made.

The tire industry is rapidly work.
ing toward a final Standardization
of tire sizes. under a plan of action
outlined by the Rubber Association
of America.
Before the war the idea Of discon-
tinuing the manufacture Of tires OF
odd sizes met with approval from
tire manufacturers, and when the
government in the midst Of the war
announced that to conserve rubber
the gradual elimination Of unusual
sizes would begin. there was COM
mendation both from the manufac-
turers and dealers.
Continue to Cooperate.
AT the conclusion of the war tire
manufacturers. rim makers and car
builders continued to cooperate
with a view to reducing the num-
ber Of sizes to the smallest possible
number compatible with giving ade-
Quate service. Under their plans all
owners of cars using tires OF un-
usual sizes will be able to get tires
for their cars as long as the cars
last, but no new car will be made
calling for any except the standard
sizes.
In a letter issued this week to its
selling forces the United States Tire
Company says;
For Renewal Only.
"All sizes. other than those that
have been selected as the standard
sizes to be perpetuated. will be
made for the present for renewal
purposes only. In other words. only
the sizes that are listed below are
to be sold. effective January !,
1920, as original equipment. As the
replacement demand for some OF
the temporary sizes falls off, We
will discontinue to make those
sizes, and you will be notified from
time to time of the sizes that are
dropped.
You will note that the 30xa
clincher pneumatic automobile tire
is not included in the standard list
of perpetuated sizes. This size
however. we will continue to fur
nish to the manufacturers of small
cars, pending the completion OF
those companies arrangements Ia
standardize on 30x3Ls tires"

Deep Snow Fails to Halt
Truck With Solid Tires

When it SHOWS in Connecticut, the
Nutmeg State" yields to no other
in the amount that gathers in fieecy
but impossible drifts along the coun.
tryside. In the recent blizzard the
road from Hartford to Waterbury
was blocked by huge drifts. not a
motor truck had been able to nego'
tiate the drifted roads and many
equipped with solid tires were
stalled and abandoned along the
road. 1t was necessary for a truck
belonging to the Goodyear branch
at Hartford to reach Waterbury
so it just went.
The traction given by its Good.
year all-weathers carried the truck
through deep drifts without serious
trouble. Owners of stalled trucks

tenn a solution of washing soda and
water should be poured into the
radiator and then the engine should
be run for two or three hours, or
the solution may be left in for a
days running, IL this is possible, and
then be drained out. after which the
cooling system should be flushed out
with clear water and finally refilled
for operation. This will serve to
clean out the scale which has un-
doubtedly gathered during the last
running season. II a water pump
is installed, the packing nut ought
to be removed and the packing re-
newed. Incidentally do not screw
down the holding nut of the pump
too hard.
The ignition system will undoubt-
ledly call for considerable attention.
All terminals should be cleaned, in
sulation breaks should be carefully
taped. connections should be tight
ened and loose wires be fastened
down, so that they will not swing
or touch hot metal. 1t is a good
plan to run all the wires in con-
duits, IL this precaution has not al
ready been taken. The ignition unit
should be given a careful cleaning
and the points be trimmed fiat.
Starting and Lighting Systems.
The starting and lighting system
will need only minor attention. but
do not neglect them. Give the bear
ings in the starting motor and gen.
orator the fabrication they need. II
silent chains are used. they should
be cleaned and thoroughly lubricat-
ed. All chain slack should be taken
up, and this applies in case the car
has timing gears driven by chain.
The fan assembly may need a lit
| tie Tightening up and the clutch
should certainly get a generous
share Of the attention. All connec-
tions and bearings in the clutch
unit should be fabricated generous
ly. The transmission bearings may
/ need replacement or taking up, and
| this is, unfortunately. a job for the
repair man. The ordinary owner
cannot hope to get away with II. -
A general tightening up of all the
various mechanical and chassis units
is very much in order. If the chassis
has torque members. these must be
frightened up. Give the whole chassis
careful inspection for missing &
nuts, bolts. spring clips. etc. Go over
the steering gear from the wheel to
the axles. Replace all shaky parts
and take up any slack. The braking
system should be carefully gone
over. The bands may have to be re-
placed, and all the lipkage should
be tested to see if 1t needs adjust
ment or repair.
The rear end unit will demand
considerable attention. If noises
have. developed. the cause ought to
be hunted down and requirements be
made to cure them. In post cases
the car owner will have to trust rear
eaxle repairs to the shop expert
But whatever the owners capabil-
titles, he should not delay doing his
utmost and having the rest done by
the repair man, for in very brief
| time the active touring season will
have opened. and then a day wasted
| in making repairs will be bitterly
regretted.

Wisconsin's 1919Record

In the year 1919 the people OF
Wisconsin purchased 36.1l0 automo-
biles and 4.02S motor trucks. At
81, 900 apiece for automobiles. the
investment was $56,11o.000. Assum-
ing that motor trucks cost $500
each. this represents an investment
of 36,042.000, or a grand total of Si2,-

Using these figures as a basis, Of
ficials in the Motorize the Farm Bu-
