TUBES STAND HEAT AND COLD

Life is not all tAlcum to the heavy
tourist tube that cushions all shocks
when the car spins along q road with
wheels turning several times a second, !"
declares Harry A. Burris, local Good
wear distributor. 'More than tale is
needed to smooth the rough and stony
life road of tubes that stand heat and
cold, neglect and abuse.
'sNo motorist can imagine the care
with which tubes are made. Leminated
tubes such as the heavy tourist are
made from thin sheet rubber by rolling
over mandrel of proper size until the
required number Of layers have been
built up to the desired thickness. Spe-
cial care is taken in placing the REIN
forcing patch around the valve. This
valve base is built into the tube, which
ID then completed by bufing, cementing
and vulcanizing while every operation
il watched by keen eyed inspectors.
proper imitation is essential if tubes
and castings are to give maximum ser
vice. Abuse by humping curbs, driv-
ing at high rate of speed over sharp
rocks or ruts tend to shorten the life Of
both tube and casing. Care must be
used in placing tubes in castings to see
that the tubes are not pinched and that
not too much or too little tale is used.
''In the interest of having tubes and
castings deliver maximum mileage, the
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has
issued series of conservation bulletins
that can be obtained on request ct The

TOO MANY PISTOLS

According to the Yorkville En-
quirer, there are more pistols in
York county than ever before known
and more pistol cartridges have been
sold in the county during the past
three months than in any similar
period in the previous history of the
county.
The Enquirer says that the Of
ficers of the law profess not to know
where the superabundant pistols to
be found in York come from. They
could probably employ their time
profitably in ascertaining how they
are distributed and why; and so
could the authorities in the rest of
the State also.
A vigiiant police officer can do q
great deal to makS the use of the
hippocket for the pistol-toting un-
popular in any community; and
where pistol-teting ceases to be
fashionable in homicide record can
be counted on to decline.-News and
Courier.
