Reasons for the abandonment of
the field Mt Newark by the depart
ment are indicated in statement by
Mr.. Praeger addressed to "All Super
intendents of the Air Mail Service"
In which he says:
'The records indicate that II the
field manager had performed the
full share of their duties In getting
the mail planes of within IS minutes
Of the scheduled time of departure the
efficiency rating for May for all divi-
sions would have made wonderful
showing.
Fall to Start on Time.
"The general efficiency performance
on the New York Washington and New
York Cleveland routes was married by
this failure Of the Newark field man
agement. This field failed ten times
TO start its plane on time to Wash
Ington and ten times to start on time
to Bellefonte.
This trouble exists to some degree
OH other fields. It can be eliminated,
or certainly greatly improved, II
planes are promptly inspected, tested
and served In the afternoon before the
flight II the departure Of the plane Ia
scheduled early the following fore
noon. Aside from this single serious
delinquency, the pilots, mechanics and
field supervisors have cause to feel
aroud of the record made during
May"

on maintaining speed for rs miles

measurements were said to form
the most comprehensive survey
ever made for tailoring purposes

the clothing trade.
The survey has shown what
proportion of sizes should be car

war department, and will enable

CHANGE IN TIRES REQUIRES STUDY Consultation With Truck Experts Necessary for
 the Best Results
F. E. WOODWARD

There are some Important questions to templates a change from solid tires to pneumatics. Whether such change is possible or not should be decided by the owner inNconferencs with the truck rep resentative and a truck tire expert. These md should not recommend sub stitution of pneumatics for solids unless they are confident the pneumatics will prove more satisfactory and economical than the solids
 The truck representative can advise the owner if the steering and body clearances are right and if the gear ra- tio will work satisfactorily. If these conditions are such that a change-over can be made 1t Is a simple matter to make the change.
 The first ster Is to take the total weight of the truck the body and the load determine the weight distribution on the front and rear wheels and ap- ply pneumatic truck tires whose carrying capacities are sufficient to take care of those weights.
 Next comes the question of making the necessary changes in the wheels. A change-over of any nature Always ne cessitates more or less loss of time and money If wheels are built up or cut down, as the case may be. This loss of time can be cut to practically nothing through the purchase of new wheels either of wood or steel construction equipped with rims and ready for appl- cation. There are any number of repu- table wheel manufacturers In & position to furnish such wheels.
 It may be argued that the purchase of new wheels adds to the cost of pneu- matic truck tire equipment This is true, but these wheels can be purchased for a nominal sum. and if the operator has decided to make the change the cost of the new wheels will be almost absorbed by the saving on loss occasioned through delay in building up or cutting down old wheels. which under the most favor able crcumstar ces takes two or three days and in outlying districts eight or

NEW NASH FOUR TO
 MAKE APPEAL TO
 WOMEN WHO DRIVE

Women who drive their car will find an unusual appeal in the new Nash Four which, 1t is expected will be in production some time in September This appeal lies in ease of lhandling, an outstanding feature of this new pro- duct of the Nash Motors Company and Is due to a number of elements that enter Into it's scientific design and careful construction.
 The Nash Four Is an unusually we'll balanced car; this not only enhances its riding qualities and makes for tire and gasoline economy but it Is responsible in large measure for ease of handling. The short turning radius. feature that appeals particularly to the women drivers. is supplerne Id in the Nash Four by the general ease with which the car steers under all conditions and by its comfortable rid ing qualities, due to it's unusually long springs. its wide restful seats and it's unusual room for freedom of move ment in the tonneau and front compart ment.
 Responsiveness of the motor, it's quick pickup and it's flexibility make for confidence of the driver and are features that are appreciated particu larly in heavy traffic The motor is 3 four cylinder powerplant of the perfected valve head type and the smoothness of it's performance, ao- cording to Nash engineers. is due to it's exceptionally well balanced construc- tion and to the light weight of it's pis- tons which are balanced to a hair.
 The motor is equipped with counter balanced crankshaft of unusual size which Is a large contributing factor to the noticeable absence of vibration The rocker arms being hardened all over do not wear and develop a rattle. in the life of the motor The body de- sign of the Nash Four is of streamlins type and it's proportions are In con formity with that good taste which marks high degree in the coach builders art

 The matter of gear ratio is one that requires serious consideration. One irrs- portant fact to remember is that pneu- matlc truck tire has a larger actual than nominal diameter. In some cases 1t Is necessary to provide for body clearances, and there are some cases where the larger diameter of pneumatic tires will affect the steering clearance.
