CLEMENT TO MEET suFFs
Governor viii Meet Two Delegations
Today--Will He Hold Out?

Montpelier, April 20.-Gov. p. w.
Clement will arrive in this city today
to meet delegation of women repre-
senting the Vernon Equal Franchise
League. The chief executive has ap-
pointments to meet the suffragists at
FIVE o'clock and again at eight o'clock
this evening and it is expected that
quite a sizable delegation will be on
hand TO present the governor with sub
,stantial arguments as to why a spec
ial session should be convened to
vote en- the ratification of the 18th
federal amendment.
Should the Governor still remain
adamant after tonight's appeal and re-
fuse to convene special session OF
the Legislature his answer probably
will be accepted as final, but on the
other hand, there seems to be feel
ing about the State House that he
may recede from his present stand
and yield to the desires Of the sut'
fragist advocates.

Dover, Del, April 20.-Goy. John G.
Townsend, Jr, failed Of election to-
day as a delegate to the national con
vention at the hands Of the Delaware
Republican Convention, which named
six delegates, the states full repres-

The Governors defeat came in the
Sussex county caucus, when the dele
gates elected at last Saturdays pri.
mary met and selected the county's
two representatives on the delegation.
He lacked eight votes Of majority to
win, and when the vote was announc-
ed it was urged by friends that he
carry the fight to the floor of the con-
yention, but this the Governor decided
not to do.
The convention adopted resolution
amid much enthusiasm favoring the
ratification OF the woman suffrage Fed
eral amendment recently defeated in
the Delaware House of Representa-

SUITABILITY Of
PNEUMATIC TIRE
FOR BIC TRUCKS
Tire Company Head in Dis
cuSSing Perplexing Cues
ton Gives Sound Advice.
BY y. y GUM.
fresldent United States Tire Com


, The present tendency Of tire man
'ufacturers to recommend 10 truck
operators promiscuous changeovers
from solid to pneumatic truck tires
leads me 10 offer "A word Of caution.
In my opinion the time has come
when intelligent advice should DO
given to the truck owners OF the
country on this subject There is "a
reason 20 doubt whether truck own
crs in changing over indiscrimin-
stely from solids 10 pneumatics un-
derstand that such "a change over is
not always satisfactory and may
even be harmful 10 their trucks.
The truth OF the matter is that
there are certain circumstances un-
der which IL is wise for a truck own
er TO use pneumatic tires and other
conditions under which it is equally
wise TO continue to use solids.
The chief purpose in making this
statement at this time is 10 prevent
dissatisfaction 10 truck owners who
attracted by the success Of the big
pneumaucs, may be- contemplating
disseminating the use Of solid tires
and using pneumatic i'm their stead
thout inquiring into the suitability
OF the pneumatics for their trucks
or their particular needs II would
be well for an owner to consult with
@ tire expert before making such a
change. Representatives of the Unit
I'D States Tire company are in a
position 10 give such advice.
Pneumatic Tire Important.
A fact realized by few is that mo.
Tor vehicles are built as a rule tC
meet the conditions imposed by the
tires they are TO carry Most people
regard tires as an accessory which
have little influence on the structure
design OF the vehicle but automotivs
engineers know that II is the tire,
which determine the general char
aCteristiCs OF the vehicle they are Il
carry The development OF the
pneumatic tire was the chief factor

II Is almost impossible 10 lay down
any hard and fast general rule show
ing the conditions under which pneu-
matte tires should be used. or under
which solid tires would be proper
equipment For information cover
ing any particular case. the truck
owner is referred 10 the sales and
service depots OF the United States
Tire Company.
Definite Advantages.
Pneumatic tires have certain very
definite advantages over solids II
IS just as desirable 20 have al trucks
operate on pneumatic tires as &, is
to have all passenger cars operate
on pneumatics. The invention OF
the pneumatic tire was one Of tho
greatest steps forward IN the de
velopment Of the passenger car, and
the pneumatic tire for trucks Is as
great a step forward in the evolu-
ton Of motor trucks. There is no
doubt that ultimately pneumatcs
will be the standard equipment for
practically all vehicles OF his char
acter.
The United States Tire Company
was the first TO develop pneumatic
truck tires and there can be no
question today as to their durability
and reliability Nobby Cord pneu-
mates have successfully met the
tests OF hard usage on thousands Of
trucks under the most trying con-
ditions and have proved their
worthiness, because they are and
always have been specially designed
for truck service and are not mere
ly an enlarged passenger car type
Of tire. Until trucks are designed
especially for them. truck owners
should hesitate about substituting
J pneumatics for solids unless they
are sure that pneumatics are better
suited to their trucks and their
needs than solids.

In making possible the passenger
car Of 10 day.
All except "A few or the motor
trucks % operation today were
built from engine 70 rear axle a
long lines which wuld make them
adaptable for use on solid tires. In
designing these trucks. the sole OBJ
Iect of the engineers was to secure
the highest efficiency of operation
possible under the limitations i'm
posed by the natural characteristics
Of solid tires.
a small number OF firms build
trucks especially for pneumatic. but
the number Of makes OF this sor.
is very limited The number viii
undoubtedly grow rapidly. for the
advantages Of having a truck ride
on air are so apparent that the de-
mand for trucks designed for pneu-
mates cannot help but become great
in the immediate future.
s truck designed for pneumatics
differs radically from one built for
solid tires. Truck and tire engineers
are now working togethe< to solve
the problem OF faster highway trans
portation and the solution is found
/ i'm a truck specially designed 10 OPP
crate on pneumatic tires, having a
chassis corresponding 10 that Of a
passenger car, an engine which will
drive the vehicle at high speeds and
still show the necessary economy In
gasoline and oil, rear axle and diff
/ ferential gears which will compen-
safe for the larger outside diameter
OF the tires, and a breaking system
that is powerful enough 10 give the
. driver complete control Of the heav-
I lest truck under all conditions.
Designed for Operation.
/ It is because most trucks are de-
/ signed for operation on solids that
truck users may find pneumatics un.
suited TO their requirements. IL a
I truck designed for solids is changed
/ over to pneumatic tires the increased
/ cost of this equipment can bC
most easily Offset by increasing the
radius OF action; that is, increasing
I the speed While the tires are de

mission, differential gears anC
[ brakes are not.
Another limiting factor tina
should be clearly born i'm mind f.
that pneumatic truck tires hav,
been satisfactorily perfect only il
size up to 8 or inches LARGE
tires than this are still i'm the eXper
mental stage.
There are some conditions under
which it is wise to change owe
from solid to pneumatics. ever
though the truck construction con
templates the use OF solids. Ther'
may be certain disadvantages as
consequence OF the change, but thes,
will be more than offset by certain
advantages to be gained through
use Of the pneumatics.
Because Of the multiplicity o
fuses TO which motor trucks are put
